WHAT I'M WEARING ⤏

NO blush, bronzer, highlight, primer, foundation

I could be wrong but I think the B-hydra is meant to be a hydrating serum and not an actual moisturizer, so it's supposed to be used in conjunction with a moisturizer. Similar to the FAB hydrating serum.

[missl]

I’m to poor to afford all these products but I will certainly sit down and watch all 32 minutes!

[DedicatedCleaner]

I’m 49 so I splurged on the entire line. I have seen such dramatic results, I couldn’t believe it. It’s amazing. My texture, tone, fine lines...everything has improved. I look 10 years younger.

[LisyCO]

🙋‍♀️ proof that focusing on skin care will lead to less need to HAVE TO WEAR makeup. You look fantastic. Thank you. Blessings 💐

[twilightfanatic]

Hey Jess! I’m a store manager for a Sephora and we recently did an education on how the brand name was created. The first product that the brand owners were really interested in making was the virgin marula oil. They said that in Africa when elephants eat the fruit that the oil is made from they appear almost intoxicated. So that’s how they came up with the name, I hope that helps😊

[brooke]

when you said youwerent wearing foundation i literally had to double take you look amazing!!

[mamagrubbs]

If you sign up for DE emails they sent me a survey to take and they send you the littles set free with free shipping! It’s a $90 set usually.

[marybethdavis]

The Ordinary has marula oil for $8 and it’s literally the exact same as DE’s. :) just in case anyone is looking for a significantly cheaper alternative

[caryjordan]

When you said that you only had a little concealer on and no other makeup, you could have knocked me over with a feather! Your skin looks amazing! Thank you for putting in so much effort and work into this super detailed review! Your hard work doesn't go unappreciated! 💖

[juleswatson]

When you said you weren’t wearing face makeup I was IN DISBELIEF. wow jessica, way to go!!! Your skin is unreal.

[MzFittt]

Oh my you look like a teenager without the makeup. I just ordered the polypeptide and exfoliate on eBay because they’re too expensive at Sephora😳Polypeptide 1.69 oz for $28 and Exfoliate $32, 1fl oz. I Love them!! Thx..

[April_B.W]

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve come back and watched this video when I’ve wanted to try a new DE product.

[maryjojaggar]

I know good skin care should be viewed as an investment, but it’s so hard to justify the prices! Love that you’re honest about whether or not it’s really worth it!💜

[rachel]

I also love the TLC serum but didn't want to spend another $90. I found Paula's Choice Advanced Smoothing Treatment. It's a 10% AHA/BHA blend, compared to TLC's 12% blend, so it's pretty similar. I'm really liking it so far and it's around $35!

[annad.]

Girl, I don't know how you do it but your videos and your aura calm my soul. Keep up the great work and thanks for staying true to yourself❤️💕

[JocelynClaire]

Yes!! I'm so happy you're promoting Drunk Elephant. I've been raving about them for a while now but always feel a bit bad because of that high price tag ❤️

[taylorwynn]

You’re an actual queen. I can tell how much work when into this video and it’s amazing! You go girl!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[cathieshelinbarger]

Could you please review The Ordinary Serums ? Love your Vlogs

[itisaimee]

So i work at Sephora and when we were trained on DE I'm 99% sure they said it's called Drunk Elephant because when elephants consume the fruit from Marula trees, they act "drunk, " So since Marula seed oil is found in many Drunk Elephant products, the CEO decided on the name!!

[shopwith_morgan]

The jelly cleanser saved my face! My skin is the best it has been in my life and I have struggled with acne ever since I can remember.
