00:02 What's up guys and welcome back to my channel.

00:18 I have been waiting for so long to film today's video.

00:21 My life has just been very, very hectic lately

00:23 with dance and school, but I'm finally doing it.

00:26 So today we're gonna be talking all about Amazon leggings

00:29 and not just one or two brands.

00:31 I have the four most popular Amazon legging brands

00:35 and I'm gonna tell you which one I like best.

00:38 But if I just told you which one I liked best,

00:40 how would this be a video?

00:42 So I'm going to be reviewing each of them

00:44 and then at the end of the video,

00:45 I'm going to be going over which legging wins each category,

00:49 like most flattering, most colors,

00:51 best size range and best material.

00:53 But yeah, I'm so excited to finally get around

00:55 to filming these and let me tell you,

00:58 I tried some leggings I haven't tried in a while

01:00 and I was very impressed.

01:01 So it's honestly hard to come up with a favorite.

01:03 So that's why we're having different categories of winners

01:06 because I don't know if I could just pick one

01:07 that wins it all.

01:08 But before we get into the video,

01:10 I wanted to talk a little bit about this jewelry I'm wearing.

01:13 So these earrings and this necklace

01:15 are from a brand called Ana Luisa.

01:17 Ana Luisa is a jewelry brand based in New York

01:20 that aims to provide everyday luxury.

01:22 I am wearing the medium gold hoop earrings

01:25 in the small textured coin necklace.

01:27 And I'll give you a closeup,

01:28 but these hoop earrings, they just have a clasp in the back

01:31 and they're just a classic hoop earring.

01:33 And then this necklace is this really cute,

01:35 textured little gold coin.

01:38 All of their items are individually handcrafted

01:40 and they have a one year warranty.

01:42 And like I said, these are 14 karat gold.

01:45 Most of their items are 14 karat gold

01:47 and all of their pieces are designed by artists

01:49 that have previously worked with brands

01:50 like Gucci and Louis Vuitton.

01:53 I personally think a nice hoop earring goes with everything.

01:56 I especially love it with my short hair

01:59 and pulled back a little bit to kind of emphasize them.

02:02 And I just think that they're such a classic to have.

02:04 And I've been looking for a pair of hoop earrings

02:06 for a while and these were just perfect.

02:08 They're not too big where you're like, whoa,

02:10 but they're also definitely demand attention.

02:13 And this necklace I think is the perfect size.

02:16 It's big enough to kind of be a statement almost,

02:20 but also great for everyday wear.

02:22 I've been wearing it to class.

02:23 I also feel like it looks really nice

02:25 with like an open neckline to kind of dress up

02:27 an outfit a little more.

02:28 When I shop for jewelry, I personally look for things

02:31 that I can wear year round

02:33 and that kind of go with everything.

02:34 And I couldn't really think of an outfit

02:36 that these things wouldn't go with.

02:37 Their packaging is also super cute.

02:39 It has this nice little polka dot pattern

02:41 with a little like gold Ana Luisa.

02:44 And it comes in this nice like velvet bag,

02:48 which I feel like is really cute for like,

02:50 if you travel a lot to just throw things in here

02:52 so it doesn't get jumbled up with everything else.

02:54 Ana Luisa jewelry is also perfect for a gift

02:56 because both of these items were under $60.

02:59 And I'd say most of their items are under $100 overall,

03:03 which is incredible for the quality that these are.

03:06 And for 14 karat gold jewelry, that is perfectly affordable.

03:09 And I really believe in getting jewelry

03:11 that's going to last.

03:12 Like I'm really done getting cheap earrings

03:14 that are gonna dye my ears like black,

03:17 which has happened way too many times.

03:19 So I feel like just buying a few nice,

03:22 good quality statement pieces is a great way to go.

03:25 And investing in jewelry is one thing,

03:27 but these are actually affordable.

03:29 So you can like invest,

03:30 but then it's not like really breaking the bank too much,

03:32 which I really love.

03:33 And you can use my code for $10 off.

03:36 So yeah, if you like this,

03:38 my code is in the description below along with the link.

03:40 So make sure to go check that out.

03:42 It's Catherine10 for $10 off.

03:44 Okay, now back to the leggings.

03:45 So the first leggings I'm going to talk to you about today

03:48 are the Colorful Koala Leggings.

03:50 And these leggings are very famous

03:52 for being a Lululemon Align dupe.

03:55 I have the Colorful Koala Buttery Soft Leggings here.

03:58 These are my personal favorite.

04:00 They also have the brushed leggings,

04:02 which are a lot more soft in texture

04:05 and definitely a more similar

04:07 to the Lululemon Align fabric.

04:10 But the brushed leggings definitely attract a lot more lint

04:13 and pill more easily.

04:14 And I have had no issues with pilling at all

04:17 on the Buttery Smooth Leggings.

04:19 Buttery soft, buttery smooth, some kind of butter.

04:21 These are $22.99, pretty affordable.

04:23 All of the leggings we're talking about today

04:24 are under $30.

04:26 And these are made of 80% nylon, 20% spandex.

04:30 So the fabric on the Colorful Koalas

04:32 is one of those fabrics that's like cool to the touch.

04:35 It has that slick material

04:36 as opposed to the cotton material.

04:38 So it's definitely not a dupe

04:39 for the Lululemon Align fabric,

04:41 at least for their Buttery Soft Leggings.

04:45 But I really like it.

04:45 I would compare this more to a Lululemon Luxstream,

04:48 except it's not very compressive and it's very thin.

04:52 But yeah, it's definitely one of those

04:53 cool to the touch leggings,

04:54 the kind that would never attract any lint

04:56 or pill or anything.

04:57 You just kind of brush everything off,

04:59 which I like for everyday leggings

05:01 'cause I don't like to have to worry about

05:04 getting little bits and pieces of things on me.

05:06 Some features on these leggings are

05:08 their seamless waistband.

05:10 These are the only leggings that we're talking about today

05:12 that don't have a top seam.

05:13 And I think it's so flattering.

05:15 And they also have one of the extended gusset crotches,

05:18 which helps prevent camel toe

05:20 and just helps you move a little better.

05:22 I definitely love the waistband on these.

05:25 It is a double thickness waistband,

05:26 so it does offer a little bit of compression.

05:29 But overall, the fabric on these is so thin

05:31 that you're not getting a ton of total overall compression.

05:35 These go up to my belly button slash a tiny bit above.

05:39 So that's the perfect height for me.

05:40 I like when it goes above my belly button

05:43 slash at my belly button and not below.

05:45 These leggings come in about eight colors,

05:47 so not the greatest color range,

05:49 but definitely more than what they started with.

05:51 They have a good size range,

05:52 size extra small to extra large.

05:54 And they're totally squat proof.

05:56 I'm wearing dark blue underwear in the squat test for these.

05:58 And these are a light shade, like a light purple,

06:01 and you cannot see them, so you are totally set.

06:03 There's also no camel toe.

06:05 And I wouldn't say they totally pass the cellulite check

06:08 because these are definitely the thinnest pair of leggings

06:10 we're going to talk about today.

06:12 But that's one of the reasons I like them so much.

06:14 I feel like they don't squish your butt down

06:16 in any way or make you feel like, I don't know,

06:19 oddly compressed in any way,

06:20 but you're also not getting the most compression.

06:23 But the double thickness waistband

06:24 definitely helps with a little bit of tummy control.

06:26 But if you're looking for a really

06:27 compressive pair of legging, these are not for you.

06:30 But if you like a very free-flowing pair of legging

06:34 that is very lightweight, I would definitely go for these.

06:37 And now let's talk about Queenie Ke.

06:39 I've talked about Queenie Ke a few times

06:40 on my channel before.

06:42 I have two pairs of Queenie Ke leggings.

06:43 I have the nine pant, which is,

06:47 I don't know if it's exactly a Lululemon dupe.

06:49 It has some seams on the back,

06:51 which I think are pretty cute.

06:52 And these are more of an ankle length.

06:54 And then I have, these are the Powerflex high-waisted.

06:57 And these are definitely my favorite.

06:59 I have the ones with the mesh paneling,

07:01 but they have the same pair of legging

07:03 without the mesh paneling.

07:05 And I've definitely considered getting those before.

07:08 The Powerflex are $21.99 and the nine pants are $18.99.

07:12 So these are definitely the cheapest leggings by far.

07:14 They're made of a nylon spandex blend

07:16 and they're both so stretchy.

07:17 I remember when I tried these on for the first time,

07:20 I was blown away with how stretchy they were.

07:22 These are my go-to dance pants.

07:25 I wear these to my dance practices a lot

07:28 and they really let you move.

07:30 And I've never had any issue with constriction in these.

07:33 So they're super stretchy.

07:35 And the fabric, the fabric is definitely soft.

07:39 It's not as soft as Lululemon Aligns,

07:43 but it definitely is softer than the 90 degree leggings

07:46 that we're gonna be talking about later.

07:48 I would say somewhere between a Lululemon Luon

07:51 and a NuLu, not quite.

07:54 Definitely not as soft as Align fabric,

07:57 but softer than the Luons.

07:59 So these do have a top seam on the waistband,

08:01 but these come up above my belly button.

08:04 So it kind of sucks you in after the love handle region,

08:08 if you know what I'm saying.

08:09 So I'd say these definitely are the most flattering waistband

08:12 out of all the leggings that have a top seam

08:14 that we're talking about.

08:15 I also often have dance practice after dinner

08:18 and it always really sucks me in, right?

08:20 After a nice big meal, you know, big food baby,

08:23 these really do a good job.

08:24 And the nine pants fall just below the belly button.

08:27 So they offer a little less compression,

08:29 but I personally think that the waistband compression

08:33 and top band are perfect on the,

08:37 whatever these high-rise ones are called.

08:40 About 10 plus colors, so definitely a great range.

08:43 The size range is extra small to extra, extra large.

08:45 So whatever size you are, you're covered.

08:48 I personally wear a size small.

08:49 I'll list my measurements down below,

08:51 but I have a small on all of these leggings.

08:53 The Light Pink Powerflex are about a medium squat proof.

08:56 They're not the most squat proof,

08:57 but I don't feel like I have a problem squatting in them.

09:01 Like I said, I wear them to dance

09:02 and lean over and stretch and it's not an issue for me.

09:05 The nine pants, at least in this red color,

09:08 are totally squat proof.

09:09 Also no camel toe.

09:11 And as for cellulite, there's like the tiniest fit,

09:14 but definitely this is a thicker fabric

09:15 than the Colorful Koala.

09:17 So you'll have less than that.

09:18 Next, we're talking about Yogalicious.

09:20 So I believe these are called

09:22 their high-waisted luxe leggings.

09:24 And let me tell you, I have tried Yogalicious in the past

09:27 and I ordered these and I was so surprised.

09:31 Like I'm just like, spoiler alert,

09:32 these win for best fabric, like literally so good.

09:36 These are $24.99 and they're made

09:38 of a polyester spandex blend.

09:40 And these leggings are so freaking soft.

09:44 Like they're so soft.

09:45 Like I would honestly compare these in softness

09:48 to the Lululemon Alimes.

09:50 And I'd say that this fabric is even better

09:53 than the Colorful Koala Rushed Leggings

09:55 because not only is it super soft,

09:58 but like I've been wearing these

09:59 and they're not attracting the lint or pilling

10:01 as much as the other Colorful Koalas.

10:04 The other Colorful Koalas,

10:06 it's hard to say colorful, colorful, colorful.

10:09 The other Colorful Koalas are almost so soft

10:14 that like they kind of just like little pieces of them

10:16 just like come off everywhere.

10:19 And these, I felt like the fabric construction

10:22 is a lot better.

10:23 And I just, I don't know guys,

10:25 if you are really into soft leggings,

10:28 you need to give these a try

10:29 because these are this like,

10:30 these are my new favorite in terms of like softness.

10:33 They're like the Lululemon Alime fabric except thicker.

10:36 Like I really think if you like just brush your hand

10:40 along the fabric,

10:41 it feels exactly like the Lululemon Alimes.

10:43 Except when you have them on,

10:45 they're definitely a little thicker

10:46 and offer a little more compression.

10:47 So if you like Lululemon Alimes,

10:49 but like want a little more structure,

10:50 I think that these are definitely the go-to.

10:53 So in terms of the waistband,

10:55 you are going to get compression from the waistband.

10:57 It's a double thickness.

10:58 It does have the seam at the top

10:59 and it falls like just below my belly button.

11:02 So the waistband wasn't like the most flattering on me.

11:05 These also ran like the tiniest bit smaller

11:07 than some of the other ones.

11:08 It could definitely give you a muffin top

11:10 if you had the wrong size.

11:12 But if you get your size or maybe even size up,

11:15 if you're really worried about the waistband,

11:17 but they don't give me,

11:18 they don't personally give me a muffin top.

11:20 I don't even know how to describe the color range

11:22 because any color you could ever think of, they have it.

11:24 They also have size extra small to extra large.

11:27 They are completely squat proof, even in this light color.

11:30 You can just tell this fabric is very closely knit

11:33 and it's just a very high quality fabric.

11:35 Guys, I just, I love this fabric.

11:36 I am so, I am so shook.

11:38 Also no camel toe and no cellulite

11:41 since these are a little bit thicker.

11:43 They just kind of go over all your problem areas

11:46 and cover everything up.

11:47 So I was a huge fan of these.

11:48 Wasn't surprised, wasn't expecting that.

11:50 And lastly are the 90 degree leggings.

11:53 So the legging brand is called 90 degree by Reflex

11:56 and these are the high waist power flex legging.

11:59 These are 25.99, so they are the most expensive legging.

12:02 And the material feels like a Lululemon Luon.

12:06 It's definitely not as soft as the Yogalicious

12:09 or even the Queenie Ke.

12:10 I'd say this is definitely the least soft

12:12 of all the leggings.

12:13 It kind of, it doesn't exactly feel rough,

12:15 but like when you're used to really soft leggings,

12:17 they don't like quite feel the same, you know.

12:19 Waistband offers a medium compression.

12:22 The leggings themselves are decently thick

12:24 and the waistband is a double thickness

12:26 and it does have a top seam.

12:28 So just like the same thing with the Yogalicious,

12:30 if you get these a little too small,

12:32 you'll probably have a little issue with muffin top.

12:34 These also fall right below the belly button.

12:36 So if they could be like an inch higher,

12:38 I would like that more.

12:39 Color range is amazing.

12:40 Extra small to extra large size range.

12:42 Completely squat proof, 10 out of 10.

12:44 Couldn't see anything.

12:45 Also no camel toe and no cellulite.

12:48 These are a thicker pair of leggings,

12:49 just like the Yogalicious.

12:51 Very good coverage of cellulite.

12:53 And overall, I just didn't feel like these

12:55 were the most flattering.

12:56 There was like some random bagging going on

12:59 in like the crotch area.

13:00 I'd say these are probably my least favorite pair

13:03 of the bunch just because they didn't quite fit me

13:05 the way I wanted and the fabric is just not quite

13:07 on par with the other ones.

13:09 And it's the most expensive,

13:10 so like I'm not gonna pay more money

13:12 for leggings I like a little less, you know.

13:15 I definitely don't think these are bad leggings

13:16 by any means.

13:17 If you really like like the Lululemon Luon fabric

13:20 and these leggings fit you better than me,

13:23 then these would probably be perfect.

13:24 Okay, now it's time to put all these leggings

13:26 against each other and see who wins.

13:28 Okay, in terms, since I already kind of spoiled

13:31 the best material, best material goes to the Yogalicious.

13:35 It's really, it's really something else.

13:37 Like it's such a soft fabric,

13:39 the softest fabric I've seen in an affordable pair

13:42 of leggings for sure.

13:43 Most squat proof, I would have to give most squat proof

13:46 to Yogalicious and 90 Degree.

13:48 I'll do a tie there because I both,

13:50 on both of them I couldn't see anything

13:52 and the fabric is just the most thick on those,

13:55 so I feel like you have the most coverage in those.

13:57 Best waistband goes to Colorfulkoala

14:00 because it still stays up and it doesn't have the top seam

14:03 and you really can't find a lot of Amazon leggings

14:05 that don't have the top seam.

14:07 So if you have a problem with leggings

14:10 cutting into your like waist region,

14:12 the Colorfulkoalas are perfect.

14:14 For best color range, I'm also giving it a tie

14:16 between 90 Degree and Yogalicious.

14:19 There was too many for me to even count for both of those,

14:22 so they definitely win best color range.

14:24 Any color you can think of, they have it.

14:26 Most flattering, I have to go with the Colorfulkoalas

14:31 and this is different if you like a thicker pair of legging

14:35 with more cellulite coverage,

14:36 but I think that the waistband on these is super flattering.

14:40 The band here goes right above the booty.

14:42 It's just a very flattering pair of leggings

14:44 and with the sun gusset crotch,

14:46 I think that I personally prefer the fit

14:48 of Colorfulkoalas over all of the rest.

14:52 And since this is kind of like a full brand review,

14:54 in terms of most style options,

14:56 I'm definitely giving that to Queenie Ke.

14:58 They definitely have most different kinds of leggings.

15:01 I have like three different types.

15:03 I even have another pair.

15:04 I don't know why I didn't bring my other pair,

15:06 but they have a ton of different waistband heights,

15:09 different styles, different mesh cutouts and all that.

15:13 So if you're looking for a brand

15:14 with a wide variety of options,

15:15 I'd definitely go for Queenie Ke.

15:17 So yeah, I don't know if I can choose one favorite

15:19 because I feel like each brand does something really well.

15:22 So yeah, let me know down below in the comments

15:25 which one of these is your favorite

15:27 or if you're gonna try any of these.

15:28 I definitely would recommend trying some of these

15:31 if you haven't yet.

15:31 They're so affordable.

15:33 You really can't go wrong.

15:34 I'd say my, you know, I can't pick a favorite,

15:37 but I'd say my least favorite are the 90 Degree.

15:40 Everything else was like, I wear them all the time.

15:42 So would definitely, they have my seal of approval.

15:46 I love them.

15:47 And as a reminder, the link for the Ana Luisa jewelry,

15:50 if you are interested in it, is in the description below,

15:52 along with my code, KATHRYN10,
