To start up top we have NYX's Stay Matte but Not Flat Liquid Foundation $8 and Too Faced's Born This Way Foundation $40. So big difference in price here, and apparently overall quality too. With foundations I have personally found that typically the more expensive ones are definitely better too and it's just the case with these two foundations unfortunately. I would choose Too Faced's Born this Way Foundation over NYX's because I too have used NYX's and had very poor results. (Blotchiness, Dryness and overall poor quality. I love NYX just not this Foundation. I have never tried Too Faced's Born this way's Foundation just yet but there are enough reviews out there saying how stellar it is and the quality is out of this world!

Winner: Too Faced Born this Way Foundation $40

Too Faced's Born this Way Foundation VS NYX's Stay Matte not Flat Foundation

ELF's Poreless Primer $6 VS Too Faced's Hangover Rx Primer $32

Here we have two Primers I have used Too Faced's Rx Primer a few times now and like it kind of love it but I do have some factors as of to why I do not completely love it. Some being it takes like atleast 2 minutes to dry and can be very sticky. Others include that it is not very much for the price. Reasons I do like this primer are a little goes a long way and it keeps my makeup in place all day long. Then we have ELF's Poreless Primer which I have not tried yet but would love to because all of the reviews are great. Customers say it makes their skin feel silky and keeps makeup on all throughout the day. So the Winner is:

It's a tie, both are pretty identical but if you're looking at saving some money and getting a little more for your money I would suggest going with ELF's poreless formula.

NYX HD Concealer $5 VS Jane Iredale's Circle Delete Concealer $30

The 2 Concealers we see here are the NYX HD Concealer and Jane Iredale's Circle Delete Concealer. Both honestly seem like they work pretty well, but I definitely would go with the Jane Iredale Brand on this one. Simply because the wear of the NYX Concealer will show. NYX is known for being a cheap line of products and that's what i've personally seen with most of their products. Jane Iredale's seems more thick and will cover up stubborn marks or redness.

4

Physician's Formula Shimmer Strips Palette $10 VS Urban Decay's Moondust Palette $50

Both to me look so great, but I still would probably have to go with Urban Decay's Moondust palette just simply because the colors are out of this world and are super pigmented. While Physician's Formula is said to have tons of fallout and shades fading throughout the day. So I would go with Urban Decay's product.

5

Too Faced Sweetheart Blush $30 VS Makeup Revolutions Blush Palettes $10

Again both amazing great products from great Cruelty Free Brands and each have their own awesome qualities.

Too Faced Sweetheart Blush
-VERRRRRY Cute packaging and look
-has 3 different shimmer shades to match your skin in each heart palette
-very easy to apply and create looks

Makeup Revolutions Blush Palettes
-Super affordable
-Comes with 8 shades so literally everyone will find something for them
-portable easy to travel with packaging

What I will say is for half of the cost you can get Makeup Revolutions and have all 8 of those lovely shades and options to choose from when with the Too Faced Sweetheart palette you just get one big Blush and can be hard to separate them. So I will have to go with Makeup Revolutions on this.

ELF's Baked Bronzers $3 VS Urban Decay's Beach Bronzer's $28

Note: For the ELF Bronzers skip right to minute 7:47 until 10:45. Just a tip because there is a lot of talking about other products beforehand.

So from what I see Elf's Bronzing Baked Bronzer's come off a bit chalky and tend to not last very long so I would definitely go with Urban Decay's their formula just seems alot more creamy and long lasting and goes on so smoothly. For the price of a Bronzer ELF's would be ideal but in quality Urban Decay's is the way to go.

Makeup Revolution Highlight Contour Stick $9 VS Anastasia Beverly Hills Glow Kits $40

Note: In the first video you can skip to 2 minutes in this video and on.

For starters I have to say both of these products intrigue me a lot. With the Makeup Revolution Highlight Sticks, I enjoy that they're sticks and from what it sounds like are really rich and creamy with a lot of pigmentation. There are a lso a few really nice shades for highlighting. Something I don't maybe enjoy as much would be that some of the shades seem a little too dark for even the darkest skin types , but there are a lot of lighter tones too to make up for that.

Anastasia Beverly Hills Glow Kits are so lovely and appealing. I adore the different shades and hues of the highlighters. Something for every skin tone. They are also super pigmented.

These two products are not completely similar but if you are looking to save money and still have an incredible product I would go with Makeup Revolutions Highlighter Sticks, because they do the same job but for half the price and they roll right on.

NYX Lush Lashes Mascara $7 VS Too Faced's Lashgasm Mascara $21

Right off the bat I have to say there is a huge difference in performance between these two products and it's pretty clear cut which one does a better job. I was pretty disappointed by NYX's Mascara, it got 4 bad reviews from the ones I watched and I can understand why one word :CLUMPINESS, oh baby is there ever a lot of clump with this mascara. From what it looks like it has a really hard time separating the lashes as well.

From the review I have above was the only review I really found someone say decent things about this product :C So it's a clear decision what to go with which is Too Faced's Lashgasm Mascara. This product feathers out eyelashes and makes them look like falsies which is really cool. Lashgasm also only needs 1 coat.

Urban Decay's Razor Sharp Eyeliner $22 VS ELF Intense Ink Eyeliner $3

Both products look like they work beautifully and the reviews speak for themselves too. I enjoy ELF's Intense Ink Liner because it's flexible, very affordable and has a lasting finish. I enjoy Urban Decay's because their are tons of colors, very easy to use and are waterproof. ELF's Intense Ink Eyeliner still offers a rich clean wing and affordable at only $3. So ELF's would be my pick.

NYX High Voltage Lipstick $3 VS Too Faced Melted Lipstick $21

Here are two products who are different but are excellent products. These two both get excellent reviews. NYX's High Voltage Lipstick leaves a nice long coat and is shiny and luscious but for the half the cost. Too Faced's Melted Matte Lipstick may be more expensive but is super Matte and gorgeous.

For half the price NYX's High Voltage delivers a nice coat of gloss to your lovely lips.
