hello and welcome back to a sparkly pink


my name's Michelle and today I have


something a little bit different to


share with you I'm going to be reviewing


and comparing three same date 


photo printing services I went to Walgreens


Walmart and CVS I know there's probably


more out there I think staples even did


it but I thought those were the three


that maybe those across the United


States would be able to find most


commonly what does my camera doing hello


I just feel like those were the three


that across the United States everyone


could find the easiest and do a same-day


picture kind of photo printing now I want to


compare the same three photos to fill up


this cute little decor piece that I've


had in the quarter of my kitchen for a


little while it's just sitting there


empty and it needs a little sprucing up


so I have my copies here let's go over


to my kitchen table we'll open them up


we'll talk about pricing we'll talk


about the variety of the different sizes


that each door offered and how clear


they came out I feel like sometimes when


you do the same day photo printing it looks


like extra blurry or grainy or just like


cheap and I get that these are going to


be same-day photo printing and they do not cost


the same as professional pictures being


photo printing I get that but sometimes you


want things to look somewhat good so I'm


going to insert a little clip here


because I don't think I went over the


pricing and I want to make sure that


that was really clear so see he has we


spent five dollars and 11 cents Walmart


we spent two dollars and seven cents and


at Walgreens I spent two dollars and 39


cents so there's a three dollar


difference between CVS and the other two


it looks like Walmart and Walgreens are


pretty comparable price-wise I believe I


did use a coupon code when I bought the


CVS ones but let's see how they compare


to each other but before we get started

don't forget to give this video a thumbs


up if you find content like this helpful


I love doing DIYs I love doing like


Paris and type videos let's flip e


around let's go through the costs the


sizes and the quality of the pictures


I'm gonna tell you right off the bat I


am seeing a vast difference without even


looking like in detail looking depth


which we are going to do here in a


moment a vast difference at each of the


companies I'm going to put the photos


here all three of them that I'm going to


show you that I photo printing out again I did


take these with my phone they're not


like a professional photographer or


anything like that so keep that in mind


I wanted you to have a rush from this


point so that when we're looking at


these you know exactly what we're


looking at so let's start off with what


I think is probably just initial view


looking at these that the closest to how


it looked on my phone which is from CBS


and they were by far the more expensive


option of all of them I did use a


discount code I think it was like a


twenty or thirty percent off the only


weird thing is they kind of put a frame


on the beach shot I mean I don't know


that I'd necessarily mind it it kind of


looks kind of cool but I have no idea


why they did that it did not look that


way on the computer when I ordered it I


ordered two six by eight one five by


seven and one four by six and I did get


that so here is my two six by eight I


thought that was a unique size I don't


know that I had heard that before our


skin looks like skin it looks glowy and


it looks exactly like how I edit it on


my phone I just kind of like put a


filter on in Lightroom and this is our


four by City because I figured most


people if they're doing like a photo


album are going to get this size so I


feel like they're pretty comparable just


straight-up different sizes in photo printing and


then we have the one of us together it


was not the clearest of photos even on


my phone but I'm pretty happy with this


quality let me see if I can kind of turn


in the light here and show you like


we're not the clearest but I am totally


satisfied with this and I feel like the


beach looks exactly like how it does on


my phone I am really happy with these


right here now let's go over to Walmart


I'm very confused by what I got from


Walmart so let's start off with


what I ordered I ordered a five by seven


a four by six and two true digital's


okay so I figured it out so true


digital's which are they gave me


somebody else's pictures are four by


sixes so this is also a four by six


which is confusing yeah it has to be a


four by six it's the same size is that


one I'm missing that photo printing of us from


this order also can we look at the


quality and the difference in the


coloring when it comes to this sunset


picture look at how vastly different


this looks just like it does on my phone


and while this is still gorgeous what is


going on here the Sun or the sky is a


totally different color in both of the


pictures now quality wise the details


and the photos are there but weird same


three photos that I uploaded to each of


the websites


moving on to Walgreens and I want to say


this was the quickest turnaround I want


to say it didn't even take an hour to


get the email saying that the photos


were ready for pickup


we ended up going with a five by seven a


four by six and two four by five in


point threes I don't know what that


necessarily means I saw it on there and


I thought that was interesting I do like


that it shows what I was photo printing like


which one is which like the five by


seven is obviously the beach shot it's


almost like this one didn't get cut so


these two are my four by five point


three and this is my four by six which


makes sense that's on par with this one


here the beach again looks totally


different than the other two I'm gonna


lay them side by side here in a moment


but can we talk about how they left a


weird border here why wasn't this


trimmed why is it not on the same paper


as this one and I don't know it's just


weird it's random looks dull and I'm


hoping the camera is picking this up


let's put these side-by-side I wish I


had the Walmart one to show you but I


suppose we really just have CVS and


Walgreens to go off of here you know


what else I just


so is this the 6x8 so this is supposed


to be a six by eight these are five by


sevens and this one from CVS is a four


by six and this is the four by five


point three from Walmart do you see the


clarity and the color difference in the


face there this is bright and inviting


and it you know that's how I wanted the


picture to be some people may want their


pictures to look like this but this is


not what I ordered this is the same


exact photo printing I sent to each of the


companies here again Wow okay so that


makes sense as to why this has a border


I'm not sure why they didn't just blow


it up a little bit more this is supposed


to be a six by eight I paid three


dollars alone for this one picture I


mean it's beautiful and I like I said I


don't mind the border but it is a bit


discerning now let's do a side-by-side


of these Beach shots here we have CVS


Walmart and Walgreens again Walgreens is


dark and moody for some reason the


Walmart somehow added some pink things


going on there and the CVS is the


clearest to what I was going for what


these pictures again look at this color


of the sand it's different on every


single one and again the closest one to


the picture is the CVS wine so I guess


that the payoff is paying a little bit


more for the quality here again we're a


little bit more pink and we're a little


bit weirdly cloudy around the face both


of our faces look a little funky in this


shot this is very contrasted and dark


and moody this is again is the Walgreens


one I just I don't I don't get it I


guess it's the software they use the


photo printing machines that they use I don't


know all the technology or what goes in


behind the idea of this but we found


some weird things going on with these


photo printing so I would say stick with


the CVS if you have a CVS near you if I


haven't mentioned so already I'm


definitely going with the CVS ones I


feel like those were the best quality


let's see if I can do this one handedly


gonna stick some up here maybe have this


one kind of off to the side


I think this is so cute and simple I got


this on clearance at Kohl's I don't know


I'm really bad at doing that I'll


probably have to play around with them a


little bit more but that is somewhat of


the finished product there so there you


have it you can see the difference with


your own two eyes


between the Walgreens and the quality of


the CVS and Walmart just totally royally


screwing it up I mean I feel bad I add


these to people's photos they were


probably needing those for something or


looking forward to them I'm sure they've


reprinted them by now because I did


order these like a couple weeks ago I've


been sitting on them getting a little


lazy and getting behind out making my


content but let me know what you think


do you know of any other photo printing


companies or do you know when CVS runs


their deals so I can photo printing some more


photos I feel like I want to get back


into having like a little photo printing album on


my coffee table of all of our little


adventures you know I took the kids to


New York we've gone to California when


it comes time for our wedding I want to


be able to photo printing things and know that


I'm getting a quality product but not be


spending a ton of money cuz we're not


that fancy I don't need professional


photos photo printing all the time thank you so


much for being here with me and going


through this experiment I'm curious to


hear what you think in the comments down


below and let me know if you have any


video requests or anything you would


like me to compare in the future and


I'll see you in our next video coming up


now
