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

I’ve gotten so many DMs, comments, and requests from my beauty queens looking for an extreme longwear, affordable lipstick, and I have to say I would’ve recommended @Maybelline NY's SuperStay in the past, but she’s been dethroned by @revlon’s ColorStay. This lipstick is INSANELY long-wearing to the point where it’s actually hard to come off at the end of the day 😂 Which is great for folks working in healthcare or anyone else who has long hours and still wants their lipstick to stay put. The shades they have are also very versatile and pretty! Have you tried this, queens? She’s budget-friendly and effective—definitely a win! Pro tip - if you use an oil cleanser, she's easy to come off! Used a wipe to show the effect and how long lasting and impressive this one is! #longlastinglipstick #revlon #maybelline #lipstick #beautytok #thelipsticklesbians

While visiting our beauty industry friends in Italy (more on that soon!) 👀 we didn’t realize we had a viral sound trending! And of course, we didn’t have our @Fempower Beauty lipsticks on hand to hop on it 🤣 So, we headed to our manufacturer here in Italy in cosmetics valley (since we were here anyway!!!) and asked if they had any pre-production samples and production benchmarks around, and they did! Here’s our Fempower lipstick in Lilith, the production benchmark, right from the lab & manufacturer in action 💄in other words, this is what is used as a benchmark of quality and color if we were ever to recreate these lipsticks again. Anyway, what do y’all think beauty queens? Does this hack I learned from @Lisa Eldridge’s book work? ##thelipsticklesbians##redlipstick##lipstickhack##makeupchallenge##beautytok

A recent addition to my skincare routine has been toning pads, and since summer, I’ve tried quite a few. Honestly, I just love the feeling of slapping them on my face 😂🙌 No but really, these have been a game changer for my skin recently! These three are my favorite by far: the @skinfood_global Carrot Carotene Calming Water Pads,@Banila Co USA clean it zero and the @Mixsoon US Official Bean Toner Pads—I use all three at different times and for my skins different needs but all will give you that extra boost of hydration. Together, they’ve made my routine feel like a mini spa session. ✨ Have you tried toning pads? I’ve been loving them! #toningpads #toner #skincare #skincareroutine #mixsoon #banilacousa #skinfood #thelipsticklesbians

It’s a top performer, especially for those who value convenience and quick application. Next up, we have the Haus Labs Triclone Skin Tech Concealer going against the Mario. This concealer is a true performer. It excels in terms of long-lasting wear and doesn’t require powder either. It’s a great choice if you prioritize performance and longevity in your makeup. I am in love with the fact that both of these concealers don’t necessarily need any powder at all to set! Both formulas are unique in their own right and I’d also grab each of them for different reasons. But today, THE WINNER IS….👀 The Haus Labs Triclone Skin Tech Concealer for its innovative formula and outstanding performance! Congratulations Haus Labs to the champion of our Concealer Showdown.

Replying to @Kourtney Kaye Rush It’s ROUND TWO of the Concealer Showdown! WHILE WE ARE TAKING A CONTENT PAUSE, WE WILL BE POSTING SOME CONTENT FROM LAST YEAR WE THINK YOU MIGHT ENJOY ❤️ And we've got three great contenders today, let's break it down! @NARS Cosmetics Radiant Creamy Concealer is known for its thicker texture, this concealer has been a staple for over a decade. It's great for those with super dry skin, providing coverage but requiring powder to avoid creasing. It strikes a balance between a natural and made-up look. @Tower 28 Beauty Beauty’s Swipe Concealer is thin and gel-like. It's great for a clean and fresh look that's more on the natural side.! This concealer is ideal for those with sensitive eyes, note that it may require powder to prevent creasing. @Kosas Revealer Concealer is like an eye cream with pigment, loaded with skincare actives. It offers slightly less coverage than the others but can be built up. It's great if you want skincare benefits and a natural finish. Stay tuned for round 3…🥇 @Haus Labs by Lady Gaga @Natasha Denona and @Rare Beauty for a pretty iconic battle 👀 #makeup #concealer #beautytok #tower28 #narscosmetics #kosas #thelipsticklesbians
