She re-introduces the La Mercery Sculpting Brow Pencil in 'deep brown', which she previously liked. After blending her brows, she cleans them up with Be Pure Hydrating Concealer and applies LA Colors eye primer off-camera.
The Diva introduces new LA Colors 4-pan eyeshadows, 'Sweet Princess' and 'Fashionista,' which resemble E.L.F. bite-size palettes. She also plans to use an LA Colors Shimmer Eye Topper. She starts with a light shade from the Sassy Chic dual-ended brush as a base, then builds up color using a light lilac and a mauve shade, emphasizing blendability.
She continues building the eyeshadow look with a darker shade from another palette and a deep maroon to smoke out the outer corner. She then uses an Ioni green tea-infused setting spray to wet a brush and apply a shimmery purple eyeshadow, noting its pearlescent effect. Finally, she applies the LA Colors Shimmer Eye Topper, highlighting its subtle yet gorgeous effect.
After completing the eyeshadow, she applies eyeliner and La Mercery 'More Drama' faux lashes off-camera. She then introduces the Be Pure Glow Up Gel Primer, a supposed dupe for E.L.F., and praises its subtle watermelon scent and how foundation applies over it.
She uses Prollex foundation in 'bisque,' a returning Dollar Tree product she has used and liked before. She notes the foundation takes a bit of time to work in but provides good coverage. She then applies the Be Pure Hydrating Concealer.
She sets her makeup with Prollex Onet Extra Fine Setting Powder, baking under her eyes, and uses a brush to apply powder to the center of her face. She moves on to the LA Color Sculpting Duo in 'So Defined,' a supposed dupe for Patrick Ta, using the cream product with a kabuki brush for contour and the powder as a bronzer.
She applies the Ioni liquid blush in 'Raspberry Spice,' noting its high pigmentation and suitability for darker skin tones, suggesting a very light hand. She then uses the Be Pure Glow Up Highlighting Stick, praising its pearly glow, and noting Dollar Tree's consistent quality in highlighters.
She finishes her eye look by smoking out the lower lash line using a darker eyeshadow shade and applies the LA Colors Shimmer Eye Topper as an inner corner highlight, highlighting the brush's effectiveness. For lips, she uses an LA Colors Lip Duo to line her lips and then applies a La Mercery matte liquid lip product in a deep berry shade, which appears as a perfect red.
She provides a detailed rundown of all the products tested: the LA Colors eyeshadow quads and eye topper (star of the show), Ioni liquid blush ('Raspberry Spice' is pigmented but 'Cinnamon Cream' is preferred), LA Color Sculpting Duo (highly recommended dupe for Patrick Ta), Ioni setting spray (nice mist, cucumber scent), Be Pure highlighting stick (nice pearlescent glow), and La Mercery matte lip product (loved the red shade despite applicator). She also gives second impressions on the La Mercery 'More Drama' lashes (loved), La Mercery brow pencil (loved for color and kabuki brush), Be Pure Glow Up primer (liked), Prolux face products (good matte foundation and fine setting powder), and the tested Sassy Chic and kabuki brushes (good value and performance for the price).
