In this video I’m doing a straight-up pass or repurchase on 30 new drugstore launches I’ve tested lately—foundation, concealer, powders, bronzer/blush, mascara, brows, lip liners, stains, glosses, and balms. If you’re new here, just know I don’t sugarcoat it. I’m looking at how these actually wear on real skin: do they blend, do they cling, do they break me out, do they last, and do they do what they claim? A big takeaway is that “good” is super skin-type dependent. Some of the complexion products and powders are an easy pass for dry skin because they look tacky, settle, or cling—but can actually be a repurchase for oily skin if you want long-wear and oil control. In color products, I’m picky about texture and seamlessness: orange/patchy bronzer is a no, while the Milani baked formulas are the standouts for that smooth, diffused look. And in lips, I’m ruthless about taste/tingle and packaging—if it tastes artificial, burns like jalapeños, peels my lips, or leaks everywhere, it’s not worth it. The surprise of the video? A $4.99 peptide lip treatment that’s suspiciously good.
