New year, new makeup releases—but are they actually worth it? 🤔 In this video, I’m testing the Huda Beauty Ube Birthday Cake Powder and Ube Cream blush, the Makeup By Mario Super Shine Lip Gloss, Haus Labs Mascara and more! These are some of the hottest launches from brands at Sephora and I want to see how they compare to products I already own in my collection. Spoiler: not everything lived up to the hype!
Watch to see what worked, what didn’t, and why you might not need these releases in your collection either. Plus, I’ll show you similar products already in my stash that perform just as well—or better!
💬 Let me know in the comments: Are any of these products on your wishlist, or are you skipping them?

💖 ABOUT ME:
Hi, my name is Jen I am 47 and live in Connecticut with my husband and 11 year old son. I am a stay-at-home Mom and full-time YouTuber with a degree in business with a focus in marketing. Before leaving work when my son was born, I was a commercial lender at a bank. I also worked at Sephora and Macy's doing visual merchandising.
I have dry skin with some hyperpigmentation and fine lines. I love natural makeup looks but occasionally go outside my comfort zone a little bit. On my channel you'll find lots of videos about drugstore makeup and drugstore dupes (those are my favorites to film!) but I also review high-end makeup as well. I hope you enjoy my channel and if you do, please don't forget to SUBSCRIBE & leave me a comment!
