Hello girlfriends and welcome to another episode
of Tried and Tested!
Today we are going to be trying out some beauty
products that have been highly raved about
on Instagram for some time and we are going
to test them to find out why.
So a lot of Instagrammers swear by Morphe brushes
for their affordable price and also great quality.
And there is a huge range of brushes so we
picked 2 to try out.
We have the foundation brush, as well as the
eyeshadow brush.
So I'll be testing out the brushes with 2
other Instafamous products.
So for the foundation brush, I'll be testing
it with the custom enhancer drops from Cover FX.
So this is an incredibly versitile product.
You can mix it with your skincare or foundation
to make it extra glow-y.
You can also use it on it's own as a highlighter
or a bronzer, depending on what shade you get.
And we got this one in Celestial.
So this is a highlighter shade.
And then, for the eyeshadow brush, I'm going
to be testing it out with eyeshadow from Sugarpill.
So of all the products, Instagrammers rave
most about are their eyeshadows as well as
their lipsticks, because they are supposed
to be super pigmented and very colorful.
Alright, so now I have one half of my face
with my regular foundation, and now I'm going
to do the other half and mix in some custom
enhancer drops, and illuminate that.
Ok so this - So gorgeous!
So this is what it looks like alone.
Apparently this sets very fast.
So let us try this with the foundation.
So once again I'm going to be using the Morphe
brush.
Oh my god!
Guys, can you see?
I'm glowing!
I cannot stop looking at my skin.
I feel it's very hard to find glow-y foundation
that doesn't make your face look oily.
Whereas this, is like, my skin looks like
it's "WHING~".
The side with the enhancer drops is a lot
more glow-y than the side without.
And it doesn't affect the coverage of the
foundation, which is amazing.
This brush is really great too!
Like no streaking, whatsoever.
Even coverage everywhere.
And the brush itself is pretty soft.
I think it's not like the super softest brush
out there, but it's a very very very soft brush.
It's a very good brush, it's nice and dense,
very nicely shaped.
I mean overall I'll give this like a...
9.5 out of 10?
Yah, because I think it's a really really
very good brush.
It feels more expensive than it is, and it
really picks up the product very well.
So now, we're going to try Cover FX as a highlighter.
Oh, this is amazing!
My face looks like there's light coming from
inside!
It's so amazing!
Everything is glowing.
It's glowing really naturally.
I can totally see why people are loving this
on Instagram.
Like I can't stop looking at my face!
It is so good!
I give this like a Unicorn out of 10.
A Celestial Unicorn out of 10.
So good!
So, we got this from Sephora, it's not that
cheap but really, a little bit goes such a long way.
So now I'm going to test out the eyeshadow
brush with the loose eyeshadow from Sugarpill.
It doesn't look expensive, but it feels solid.
Ok!
Let's try, I'm so excited, I'm so excited!
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh~ (singing)
It's so pigmented.
Honestly I'm not a big fan of this eyeshadow
brush,
but I think that might be a personal preference thing,
because generally I like
it when my brushes are shorter, because I
feel like when they are so long, I don't get
as much control.
It picks up the eyeshadow really well, and
it deposits it.
It's more like a fluffy blending brush.
I'm ok with this, I would give it like a,
I mean it's soft, so I would give it like
a 7?
6?
6 out of 10.
I would use it on other parts of my face actually.
So for this one, I'll probably use it as a
highlighter brush, maybe?
Or a contour?
Because it's more precise here.
And then the eyeshadow.
Wah, it's crazy pig- it's really pigmented.
I think it's really gorgeous.
I was thinking that it would be a bit difficult
to handle,
because it's like loose powder right, but like no fallout.
It went to the brush and then to my eye really
nicely.
It just attached.
And blending was very easy too.
Yah, very little effort to kind of get the
color that you want.
I could pack it on more and it could be no
problem.
So, I would give that a 10.
I'll give it a 10 out of 10.
So Colorpop is a brand of cosmetics that's
marketed completely on social media, and they're
known to be very affordable.
So we got the Ultra Satin Lip in Virginia.
I think the packaging is super cute.
The colors are very youthful and very bright
and very happy and I love this turquoise with
fuchsia thing.
It doesn't feel ultra lux but it doesn't feel
cheap either.
I feel like the colors are very...
I get it, it's ColorPOP.
Wow that's so smooth!
No wonder it's call satin.
It's so smooth and creamy.
And the color payoff is so good.
With just one swipe, it was already super
strong.
Oh, the color is so good.
The texture is amazing.
It's super not runny at all.
It's like a lipstick gloss hybrid.
Cuz you know sometimes lipsticks, when you
apply it, it drags right?
This kinds of gives that lipstick feeling
without dragging over your lips.
I think the color will stay for very long
because I just got a little bit there and
it's quite hard to get out.
It looks like a matte liquid lipstick but
it's got a slight satin finish to it.
My lips don't feel glued together or dried.
The color is really pigmented, it really pops,
so it lives up to their name, it's a Colorpop.
Ok so I think that this product is really
good, I mean a lot of matte liquid lipsticks
have upped their game so their formulas are
generally quite good already.
I think that this definitely is a good one.
And the added bonus is that it's USD6!
So in terms of quality, this is definitely
comparable to lipsticks a few times its price.
So I would give this a 10 out of 10.
I mean I can't find anything to not like about
it and it's got added points because of its
price point, and the color is so great!
It's such a great lipstick!
Ok, so this is Dose of Colors and they are
known for their matte lip colors and also
having a huge range of colors to choose from,
and of course their formula is apparently
very pigmented, very easy to glide on and
also long wearing.
I'm not a huge fan of the packaging.
I feel that the design doesn't really stand
out.
If I didn't read it, I wouldn't have known
it's a matte lipstick, I would have known
it was cosmetics actually, it kind of looks
more like a cream to me?
Ok, so for this one, I feel like, do you see
this part in the center here?
I'm going to have to go over it again.
It's like very pigmented, but the consistency
is harder to get the opaqueness then the Colorpop one.
The Colorpop one is like one pass, you know
what I mean?
One pass and it's like (done).
Ok so for this one I can feel more of a film
over it, I can feel the lipstick a lot more.
It's kind of strange because it's like 3x
the price of Colorpop but I felt like Colorpop
performed a lot better.
Not really into this, I would give it like,
just cuz the color is so pretty, I would give it a 6 out of 10.
But I feel that this patchiness is not good,
and it will become worse over the day and
I can't imagine how to touch up.
This is a semi-permanent tattoo that lasts
for 2-3 weeks, and it got really popular after its release.
So the application process is a little bit
more complicated than for regular fake tattoos.
So inside, we have all these things, and I
would say that the instructions are actually very clear.
I like that because you don't want to get
this wrong.
First, you're supposed to peel off that white
backing.
I'm going to put on my gloves, and then you
gotta agar agar (estimate), and press it on.
So now, heat up this cloth for 12-15 seconds,
woah, it's nice and toasty.
Peel off this black thing, and wipe it with
an alcohol wipe.
Take out this cloth - ah!
Too hot too hot too hot.
I put it on here, apply pressure as hard as
you can for 30 seconds with your palm.
And then you can ease the pressure for 15
minutes.
I look like I'm having cramps or somethings.
Ah pain~
Ok so, 15 minutes is up, let's see
how it looks.
So, as you can see, it's actually really quite
faint.
So what I am supposed to do, is to leave it
for a few minutes and then wash it off with
soap and water and it will develop in a few
days.
So after I washed it off, it kind of disappeared!
It's barely visible.
Ah, now it's like a cooking show, but in the
oven we have...
Last week I did it on the other side and as
you can see, it's developed a lot more.
So I did this like a week ago and I realised
that I think by the 2nd day it had become
a bit darker and I think by the 3rd or 4th
it like became the darkest that it is.
And I haven't also taken extra care or anything,
sometimes I even forget that it's there.
Sometimes I bathe and then I go - eh?
In terms of the tattoo itself, there are some
parts that weren't fully formed, like the
space here, and it's not exactly the cleanest,
so I don't know whether this is because of
the amount of pressure that I put or didn't
put.
But I do think that it looks like a real tattoo,
which is quite cool.
Because a lot of fake tattoos they get shiny.
The reason why I picked LOVE IS LOVE is because
we need more love in the world and we should
be allowed to love whoever you want and everyone
is deserving of love
and love is love is love is love.
And again, I know we've said it before, but
I'm going to say it one more time, guys, or
like people who don't identify with guy or
girl or anything, whatever makes you happy,
when I say girlfriends, it includes everybody.
Ok?
The application was slightly more tedious
than a regular fake tattoo, but I think that
it was quite worth it for the result, because
it looks so good.
I always thought that I wanted a tattoo right,
like a full sleeve dragon, tiger, phoenix
tattoo, both sides.
Like down my back and everything, but after
I got this one tattoo,
I remember on the 2nd day I was bathing, I look and I was like
"what's this?" and then I was like "hmm, I'm not sure"
and then I was thinking "oh, I need to have
this for another 2 more weeks?"
And then on the 3rd, 4th day I was like, "hmm...
yah..."
So I don't think I would be able to commit
to a full tattoo anymore, but, I would love
to use this and have it for 2 weeks!
Yah, I really like it!
I would give it a 9.5 out of 10, cuz I only
have one gripe, which is
I kinda wish that there was a way to see the picture on theother side so that as I'm positioning it,
I can make sure I get the right spot.
Alright! That's it!
