RANKING NEW MAKEUP RELEASES - 2023 | Isamaya Beauty, Hip Dot, Danessa Myricks, and more

I'm bringing back my ranking of new makeup releases. Keep in mind, the ranking is purely subjective and based solely on my own reactions to the product images and, where applicable, previous experience with that brand's items. If brands keep trolling us with 12-WORD PRODUCT NAMES, though, I might start basing my ranking off the name alone. 😛

Hey Kara.. WOW, makeup is STUN-NAN 😍 Can't wait to hear what you have to say about the Isamaya lippie. I'm sry, but if a "member" shaped lipstick is gonna cost $95, it better vibrate and make me breakfast after 😂

Hope you, the familia, and anyone else who happen to read this all have a great rest of your week 😊

ETA: lmao, just heard your crack about the motor. I know plenty of others think that price is stupidly expensive, but I just realized that I've yet to hear a single person say they would actually buy it.. and I find that VERY telling.

Love the video - and the look. The blues are so beautiful on you!

[bethanythatsme]

You are a cobalt fantasy 💙
Those lashes & earrings are frosting on a delicious look 🍰

[Black_Benz]

Your eye make is mesmerizing. Stunning! Blue looks great on you.

[kathleenmoortel]

Those earrings are so cool and the blue eyeshadow is so pretty on you.

The Lawless forget the filler gloss felt fine to me. It didn’t feel painful.

[marie-evegoulet]

Me realizing we are love the look, stunning! 💙
Also, the closing argument was on point! 👌
But also… that dark colour is looking so good, not that price good, but still I did give it a second look and not for the packaging 🤷‍♀️

[BeautyAndTheFrizz]

So looking forward to your thoughts! 2:36

[sarahcox]

Totally agree with everything you said about the Isamaya 💄 ! 😆

[chriskrupadowns]

"It's going to have a motor.." That's the best line I have heard about that product!

[droo]

Beautiful look! Friday Fabulous ready!!

[KrystalHartley]

I have the original Forget the Filler gloss from lawless which uses capsicum for microcirculation but has no sensory impact whatsoever. The new lip balm uses menthoxypropanediol (cooling sensation). They both have Tocopheryl Nicotinate which is a vasodilator to increase microcirculation (might feel warm but no sting or tingle). So the original lip gloss is great at making the lips appear fuller without feeling anything, but the balm might have a cooling sensation.

I feel like there was a missed opportunity to say “strap on” when you said “strap in” 😂

[hollydean]

OMG I am laughing so hard. WTH on the last product. Nice colours but um I have to say that I think that blue shadow suits you the best. You look AMAZING. So delighted that someone gifted it to you - so thoughtful :)

[CCKittyKat]

I have the same earrings 😂 lol great video.

[saraconnolly]

Lol oh my god 😂 the ending talking about for that price. Better have a motor in it 😅 mam!!!

[Sirenitallenita]

“It’s not going to have a lipstick inside, it’s going to have a motor.” *standing ovation* 😂

[J_L]

Lauren Mae Beauty used the Kosas Skin Enhancer in a recent video. Her face (and hands) were very gold and as she blended it seemed to get worse 😬The Canadian pricing is a good deterrent too!

[-TotallySaneCatLady-]

That price point on that lipstick is crazy. I’m not tempted by the good apple foundation. Screams viral to me. I’m also good on foundation.

I have 10 of Natasha Denona's five pan palettes and her Sunset Palette and Zendo Palette and I have been eyeing the bronze palette, glam palette, and my dream palette... I was on the website, trying to talk my self down from a BIG purchase when something dawned on me... She has a lot of repeat shades. And, if not 'true' repeats, repeating enough that you won't be able to tell a difference on your eyes.

Being the research geek I am, I grabbed all the palettes I have, took pictures and snagged screenshots offline and it's a bit disappointing, to be honest. I mean, it saves me money, but still...

[kaitd]

The petri dish cosmetics are very pleasing to the eyes, and I think that is the initial draw, but then they usually are such a flop that people who have bought things like that before will know better.

[MascarasAndMixers]

Lawless beauty lip plumpers don't have any burning or tingling products. They r a fav of mine. I don't mind the nabla or melt plumpers (buzzing tingling) but the too faced ones gave me chemical burns on my lips no thanks
