I really applaud creators in the beauty space who focus solely on skincare. These are the products that take the longest to evaluate and come with so much nuance that you can’t capture in just one swipe. Personally, I need at least four weeks per product, per category, to properly assess whether they deliver on their claims and are the right fit for me. When I received this PR from @Glow Recipe with all their new skincare, I thought it was the perfect opportunity to share what my evaluation process actually looks like! On our platform, we will never recommend products we haven’t extensively tested ourselves, beauty queens. Skincare deserves that level of honesty, and so do you all! 🙌 #skincare #skincareroutine #beautytok #makeup #glowrecipe #thelipsticklesbians

I just HAD to make a dedicated swatching video for @NYX Professional Makeup’s new Liquid Lip I.V. Glosses because they’re THAT good. The fact that they nailed something this glossy, this comfortable, and with this much color payoff with a soft stain—all at a drugstore price point? LOVE that. I swatched (almost) all of her shades so you can see them in their full glory — 14 of the 16 total. Enjoy beauty queens! And to be clear, NYX partnered with us on our last video to talk about these, but this video is an organic post of the swatches to help you get an understanding of the shade assortment. As always, partnerships are always disclosed here ❤️ Which shades are your favorite beauty queens? #makeup #beautytok #drugstoremakeup #nyxcosmetics #lipgloss #lipstain #thelipsticklesbians

Replying to @Marvelia So many of you wanted details on this eye look—ask and you shall receive! This little beauty is a quadrant palette from @NABLA Cosmetics that they kindly sent my way. What I absolutely love about their palettes is that they’re completely customizable. I got to hand-pick every shade you see here! This was my first time playing with these specific shades, so I just went for it—experimenting, having fun, and embracing a bold application. I have to say, I miss doing this! Here’s to more fearless and bold looks in 2025 queens! Who’s here for it like Christina aka wifey? 😂🙋 #eyeshadow #nablacosmetics #eyeshadowpalette #beautytok #thelipsticklesbians

@Glow Recipe is a brand that has a wide range of targeted skincare and its commitment to transparency and education. 👏 It’s not every day you see a brand list out hero ingredients and break down the purpose of each right on the packaging. Plus, their use of unretouched before-and-after photos is refreshing; you can actually see real results and determine if they meet your standards. Overall, they empower you to be a more educated consumer, and we’re here for it! It can be a bit overwhelming for my beauty queens just dipping their toes into skincare. Happy shopping y'all! 🛍️ #glowrecipe #glowrecipewatermelonglow #skincare #skincareroutine #beautytok #thelipsticklesbians

Replying to @kreativekaren If there’s one long-wear lip pencil worth trying at the drugstore, it’s @Maybelline NY Lifter Lip Liner—The value for the quality is unbelievable! This is a plastic, sharpenable pencil that glides smoothly, lasts all day, and rivals pencils at much higher price points. Here’s a fun fact: many top-tier pencils across beauty categories are manufactured in Germany, where they specialize in high-end pencil production! This is likely why Maybelline’s formula feels so luxe! So If you’re looking to save money in your makeup routine, the pencil category is the perfect place to do it—proven quality without the splurge 🙌 The more you know! #maybelline #lipliner #lippencil #maybeitsmaybelline #beautytok #drugstoremakeup #thelipsticklesbians
