I don't understand the "haul" comment either. I think she just got confused.
When you compare an emollient, creamy, white base (Scandalous) to a beige and a skintone dry base, you will get different results. That's common sense. If you want a true comparison, compare that Scandalous base to MAC's Luna CCB or Fascinating Eye kohl.
Like the first video, she picked up the shadow on her finger (before she applied it to her Scandalous base) when she already had primer on her finger. It will pick up more shadow and thus have more to deposit on the Scandalous base. Another note: How hard is she actually pressing into that Ben Nye shadow before she applies it to the UDPP and the Shadestick? On video, you really can't tell.
Again, like the first video, she pressed the shadow into to the Scandalous base and appeared to rub it into the other bases. I say "appears", because most of it occurs out of the shot. You can't really see it. Kind of sketchy.
Here's another issue. She is using this "test" to show how much colour it packs on and a lot of people are using that "test" as a measure to show that it doesn't crease. Two different things. Emollient/creamy bases (like CCBs and this Scandalous primer) will pick up colour better, but they are also the ones that tend to crease. Sure, if you put a thin amount of emollient base and pack on the shadow, it will eliminate creasing for some, but for others, it just won't work.
Personally, I don't wish to pack it on like she has in her video. Her eye makeup, while OK for some, is way too heavy for my personal tastes when applying to my face.
For me, based on what has been uncovered in this thread, her credibility is shot at this point. Any further "comparisons" are pretty much an act in my book and would fail to sway me.
