Hi Sisters! In today's video, I wanted to put my knowledge of makeup to the test and see if I was able to figure out which products were CHEAP (drugstore) vs EXPENSIVE (luxury, high end, overpriced priced brands)! Do you think I'll get them all correct?! Watch and find out!

James you should really use a lot more products of essence, it’s kinda cheap but still really good quality. I can’t believe you don’t know it, it’s really popular in Europe.
I love that brand! 🤤
yeah, and then the "fancy" essence, catrice is also pretty decent. the only crap stuff about them is the shade range
@@bomsnose i agree, that’s why I mainly use their lipglosses and blushes and stuff
Yes I was waiting for this comment! I love essence so much
are you kidding? essence is literally the worst drug store brand u could find
James talking about Essence: never heard of that brand Entire Europe: 😃😃😃
Omg ikr hahah i don't know a lot about makeup but bruh if you don't know what Essence is here...
im from uk and ive never heard of it-
Swede here and I have never heard of it
I think that Essence is popular in Eastern Europe
Croatia here we have it in every storee😂
The fact that they thought MAC was cheap is astounding to me…
Right!? I thought they were going to use some drugstore one wtf
It’s not that it’s necessarily cheap, it’s just that it is CHEAPER than Dior
it's not a high end brand.
@@priyah8060 literally my point
Not cheap necessarily, just the cheaper option
James really out here telling the difference between concealers from the tips!!
Too bad he can't tell the age of guys by their profiles...
I mean.....-
@@haypochi1263 bahahahahahahahaa
@@haypochi1263 THIS 💀
@@haypochi1263 unnecessary comment
Them: cover the brand James: Knows the product by looks Them: only give him the product without him seeing it James: knows by smell
God loves you Dios te ama 👑❤️👑❤️
i thought that was funny Asf X'D
lol
Uno bonito
them: covers his nostrils james: knows by feel
James should definitely try a full makeup with essence!
Literally thought the same!
Yesss!!!!
YESSSS
Yess
yessss
James sniffing the setting spray instantly reminds me of the scene in ratatouille where he tastes the different foods 😭
God loves you Dios te ama 👑❤️👑❤️
How do people make their bitmojis so pretty 😭
@@keishawilliams127 use the Deluxe avatar
Why
"the fact tha- MMMM. Who picked out the SHADE." He was so done and I cannot stop laughing
"It's, uh, 50 dollars." Holy shit, that reaction was priceless.
😂
🤪🤪🤪🤪
FR 😂 I make vidz
what min haahha
I just realized, YOU WATCH MIRACULOUS 😭✊🏻
I love how James didn't pretend like he didn't know what some products were and instead made it funny and entertaining by knowing it and his cute smiles when he knew them lol and then how it frustrated the people behind the camera got.. it added alot to the video
Hi jack!!
Ye it’s called Sarcasm lol
Lol
omg are you real jack?
Lol
“once again, Louis, the colors”
I like how James can determine a price just by being misted in the face
I would love to see a video with James using only essence products , are the only products i can afford
Yes! A full face of essence and he HAS to try lash princess waterproof mascara!!!
I’d love to see a video of his autopsy
💯💯
I'd love to see a video of him behind bars
I which he would do more art on his face using makeup
sister, I LOVE essence - would love for you to do a video review dedicated to it!!
I love how they are messing with him and how he knows his stuff
The way James could tell the names of all the products even tho the names were covered tells you how deeply he's in love with makeup and that he's really deep into this shit😂😂😂😂
Yeah lmao i love it
you could clearly see the names lmao what do u mean?
When he could tell the setting powder by the smell alone after he wasn’t allowed to see the packaging anymore….. excuse me, what!? How!? 😳
tells you how deeply he's in love with Teens
Omg don’t swear 😦 Jk gurl/guy or non binary Shit
I love how James kept correcting himself. "Oop sorry I meant the MyStErY concealer"
5:16
Lol
I laughed so hard when James said "once again Louis the colors"
Pleasee do a full make-up with Essence?!
James don't ever fire Ryan! Like his editing skills are 🔥.
Yesh
Ye
I saw this same comment on his crumbs video..
@@SheriffValentine you see it everywhere but that’s understandable
@@SheriffValentine yes bcz ryan is the best
I love how James supports essence bc they deserve so much more recognition
How James did not know Essence...
I actually like Essences lip gloss/lio balm
can not believe you’ve never heard of essence!!every place that sells make up even if it’s just Tesco (your equivalent to target or Walmart) will most likely have a little essence booth thing in the make up section. That’s so crazy they don’t really have it much in the USA 🤯
James ❤️ you should do a video where you just smell and feel products while blind folded to guess what they are!
The fact that James didn’t hear of Essence before gives me chills 😅😂 I can see that I‘m the poor one😅😂
I think essence is a german brand so maybe that’s why
Right 😂😭
In europe it is popular
essence is such a lovely and cheap brand but its so underrated, for example thier clear gloss is one of their best selling item but james never heard of it,even tho nikkie knows thier brand.
@@piscesboo_5222 but Nikkie is from the Netherlands , and here is essence a populair brand x
Everyone is saying that everyone is saying that James is very quite now lol
quiet* :’)
he scared
“Everyone is saying that everyone is saying that”😭😭
@@thottusthottusxoxo lmao😭✋
@@usagihika U got it wrong
11:59 I love how James says “hello?” and proceeds to use the lipstick on his cheek 😂
I’m sorry idk why but the way he said “essence” had me in tears
Why??
Why tho
Time???
James you should definitely try out more *Essence* products. In Germany *Essence* is a huge brand and all the makeup artists from Germany love it hope you have a great day. And fun trying out essence
Omg jaaasss
I have a mascara from them and I LOVE IT!!
I love essence
True
Because im in Germany and thats true
I'm not shocked at the prices I'm shocked that James knew the EXACT brand of concealers just by seeing THE WAND 😳😳😳
For real
I'm shocked tou care for this nonce.
@@WadeAlma your the one on this video lmao
@@WadeAlma I'm shocked at your spelling 💀
And by smelling a powder
James: I’ve never heard a brand called essence Whole entire Europe: 🥲🥲🥲
literallyyyy omgg I was in shook when he said that🥲🥲🥲
You are soo right
i love essence but it’s really hard to find in the US. they started carrying it in some Ultas and i recently found some in a CVS pharmacy. other than that i haven’t seen it anywhere else.
Soooo true
Still is like Adam Johnson
I was really excited to see Colourpop in this video! Colourpop has such amazing products for a really good price! I have that same pallet so that was even more exciting!
HOW DID HE NEVER HEARD OF ESSENES oh yeah he is american never mind-
No way James don’t know the brand essence lmao it’s the only brand in our town everyone is using...I only use one lip product from essence but this brand is how everyone here is starting with make up
I didn’t know what it was either lmao
Never heard of it and this is the 3rd comment I’ve seen lol
It's very popular in Europe given it's a German brand.
If you're from Bulgaria ( Ruse) I know dang well what you talk about. Half my products are "essence"
@strawberry cow I have so many random products from essence. They're great quality but cheap
When he said twist his face was like 👁👄👁 btw love the new introooo yasssssss 🙌
Ikr FRRRRR 💖 I make vidz 🥰💫✨
I love it when the notification show's up "someone" liked your comment and you have a new subscriber"".......
IKR ITS AWESOME!
*JAMES* is my inspiration!! My mom said me that she will buy me a professional mic if I got 30k subscribers!! I really needed that!! *Begging you* !!
Shut up
Tell me your throwing shade without telling me your throwing shade -“ to be fair tarde does smell better than morphe”
I just saw the part where you said “that is the ugliest color combination I’ve ever seen” and then the sad face, but in the same time I was drinking water, and when all this happened I laughed and water went on my nose..::: I am dying 🤠😂
You NEED to do a whole face of Essence rating their stuff! Their mascaras are my go to, and a lot of people I know are the same!! xx
I love their mascaras 😋 especially lash princess!
Yeppp
Essence is my all time favorite brand, from their banana powder to their shiny lipgloss and mascara for sure 😍😍
the only drugstore brand nearby that makes mascaras i'm not allergic to. lol i love them
Yeah the lash princess is the best Eveeer
the way i gasped when james said he has never heard of essence- i really recommend their mascaras, those have really worked for me and the prizing is way too good to be true! also lipglosses are cute! :)
Essence is my go-to brand. The quality of its products are really good, it's affordable and they don't test on animals.
I think it’s because Essence is not plentifully in stores. It’s scattered in some CVS or Rite Aid? But not all of them. Might have seen it at a Target store. I use a WOC concealer, that I found at only one Walgreens. Never saw it at any other Walgreens. (Can’t remember the brand name right now! .)
I thought the same thing- almost all of my Make-up is by essence because you really get something for your money! I dont live in the US though, and in my country the brand is in every drugstore and even some supermarkets- so I was really surprised that People dont know it, especially a makeup artist😅
Essence is honestly sooooo good...I also really love their nail polish
I thought it was a magazine
Essence is such a good brand I use it all the time!!!
I use the Essence highlighter! It’s soo good!❤️
James should start vlogging Lol l’ ve been loving these “ non studio” videos haha😂
He is in his studio tho ...
Army 💜
James should do a make up only with essence products and react!!
truee since he didn't know the brand it would be such a great idea
Full face with essence makeup would be super cool to see
YES! essence is such a good brand and I love their products so it would be fun to see if james is gonna like it
Yeah that would be great.
We need this
James i love how u are doing way more stuff
Pls do a makeup collection I don’t care if it takes a while it would be your best video
Wow, now it's confirmed I've hit the Jackpot with Essence. I've been purchasing my foundation, concealer, eyeliner, mascara and lipstick from them at my local pharmacies for years now. Not only are the products cheap, they also look great while wearing. Heck yeah!😁
i think they're one of europe's "hidden secrets". well not hidden in europe, we just don't export them like we export the expensive stuff like sisley, chanel, la praire, whatever. other used to be kiko.
Essence is like THE brand every teenager uses where I live...it's cheap and really good😂
Y e s

and it was literally just loose powder🥴😩
I love how he never even heard of essence and it‘s literally the only brand I can afford lmao
K im sorry but your pic reminds me of harry styles' tattoo 😩🖐
Hell yessss!!! You guys directioners too? ahaha I never thought someone would recognise my pic...
Aw hi clowns !! 🤡
@@she638 well ofc i would recognize im kinda a lil toooo obsessed with them 😩❤
@Aathmikha Jade definitely 😌✨
The way he says essence at 7:40 kills me 😂😂😂😂
I love how he isn't nervous and how he shows like tutorials and more others and he is encouraging me to do more makeup.
10:10 I care, I've been trying to find the right shade for my brows so that will help me a lot, James. Thank you so much!

I love your work 😄
Why youtube dont take down this youtuber
he should be banned
Also its because youtube are making money from him🙄
As A dutch person its so crazy you never heard of essence, it’s the holy grail here I. Europe😌
LOL I make vidz 🥰
Most of us have heard of it I think, James may not be keeping up with affordable brands that much.
do you guys know where to find the biggest essence stands in nl? i was going through a few kruidvats and maybe trekpleister, but they barely had any of the range.... and i don't feel like traveling to germany to shop.
I use the essence crazy volume mascara and it’s crazy good. It was literally 5$ at Ulta and it’s the best mascara I’ve ever used.
Every time the transition song to different products comes on all I can think is “everywhereigo they all know my name” hahah love it
*James looks happy again and I’m so here for it*
wait has everyone forgot
please do a full face of 5 below makeup!!!
Thank you for staying positive
I’m so happy he’s uploading again. I missed his content
Same
James: I've never heard of this brand in my entire life Me when i was in sixth grade and all my make up was just essence: hm
i mean, i’ve never heard of essence either
@@jillianc7485 essence is a German brand ig I am from Germany and almost everyone in my country love it
Wtf is essence like is it popular?
To much people here dont even know wht happend 🤦♀️
Ikr
@@salami2478 yeah and he’s profiting off of people that don’t know/understand what he did
that song for in between products has been stuck in my head for weeks thanks to tik tok so thanks james for making it worse 🤣❤️
I’m REALLY surprised that he hadn’t heard of Essence before! It’s sold in most of our general stores here in Finland.
well thats also in Finland, here in the U.S. essence is sold in ulta but i havent seen it anywhere else
I LOVE essence it’s also sold here in Mexico
Wait so you’re telling me the one and only James Charles didn’t know the make up brand essence till now? 😭
I was so shocked too, like i don't even wear makeup that much and know it lol
@@villain__9 same I don’t wear make up but still essence is so popular didn’t expect it from him
I've never heard of essence too but we I myself buy cheap ones for my sister lmfao
@@Noyourewrong how?? It’s literally in every Drogerie 😂
I can’t blame him. I didn’t know about Essence until recently. I saw a influencer I follow mentioning their last mascara release (the pink one) and that was when I knew. Now I have a few mascaras on my Amazon wishlist 😊
Honestly I don’t care anymore what people say about James! He is one of my favorite KZheadrs to watch he is so entertaining and funny!! I love you James and just keep being your self!! 🤍🤍🤍
James I really learned the names of makeup from you
I’d love to see him rate/recommend like best and cheap makeup products sorta how skinbyhyram does just makeup addition
shouldn't u be in the sister slammer
Love how they end up taking the product away and giving you just the brush 😂😂😂 made me laugh
He makes me day tbh SLAYING SISTA
Essence is a very common brand in Europe!! with prices very low! And sometimes, good products (like this hilighter 🤩)
James uploads: Me: CLICKS FASTER THAN THE SPEED OF LIGHT I make vidz 💫💖🥰
Did you click fast then Adrien can say "shes just a friend" Or Steven Universe saying "Mom?" Or Jay freaking out? (From ninjago)
i want james to do a full face of essence products
Your staff was very good at shade matching your foundations! Great job
