5 Beauty Brands: My Top Picks and Biggest Disappointments

Favorites and Disappointments

Today, I'm sharing a fresh beauty roundup inspired by one of your suggestions—a fun Beauty Tips video! As someone who's tested hundreds of products over the years, I selected 5 standout brands to highlight one hero product I absolutely love and one that fell short.

This format lets me cover diverse products, price points, and brands for every budget, so whether you're splurging or saving, there's something for you. From lips to complexion and eyes, expect variety. Note that my "flops" aren't total failures—just products outshone by better, often more affordable options I've tried.

I've only featured five brands here, but I've got plenty more insights. If you love this concept, drop a comment—I'd love to do a part two! Enjoy the video.
