Blush

Summer FridaysBlush Butter Balm

Pink Sunset
cream blush · dewy · $26 · Summer Fridays
It is blending beautifully on the skin. This has not been an issue at all. Very easy to blend.▶ 2:44–2:49
The color is fine.▶ 2:49–2:54
It reminds me very much of the She's That Girl. I wonder if they took inspiration from it.▶ 2:51–2:56
It's identical. Absolutely identical. Like, it has that nice balmy consistency to it, which is pretty.▶ 3:03–3:10
I honestly I think I like the KVD one better.▶ 3:12–3:16
Is this pretty? Yeah, it's nice. Would I go out of my way to stock up on a ton of these? Like, I don't probably not.▶ 3:29–3:34
I'm starting to notice that the blush is kind of looking a little bit streaky. Not my favorite.▶ 4:25–4:29

Bronzer

MorpheCheek Thrills Bronze & Tone Duo

Maui Surf
bronzer and highlighter duo · $19 · Morphe US, Morphe UK
It's very soft, which I like. It's not proving to be super difficult to manipulate the product and blend it in. It's not really crazy or over the top or anything. Okay, I like that.▶ 18:49–18:54
The bronzer itself is nice. The shade is really pretty. It's very soft. I think I really like that. It looks good, right?▶ 19:11–19:16
The color is blending in beautifully. Ooh, I do like that. I think I do really like that.▶ 19:22–19:28
Bronzer, I think, is still going strong. Getting a little creasy there, and I don't know why, but I really did like it. I will continue to use that.▶ 29:54–29:58

Foundation

Rare BeautyTrue to Myself Natural Matte Longwear Foundation

foundation · matte · $38 · Sephora, Rare Beauty
Like the finish is nice, right? If you can get past the fact that it doesn't match the rest of my skin tone, it is a really nice finish to the skin.▶ 17:41–17:48
I think it looks good. Like my skin does have a radiant matte, blurry kind of a finish to it, which I do like.▶ 17:57–18:07
I'll just have to get it in my shade now.▶ 18:07–18:11
It is not like sinking into pores in a weird way. It seems to be mostly intact on my forehead.
The matte blurry but kind of a little bit dewy was a really nice like sweet spot. So maybe I'll just have to buy it in my shade.▶ 18:04–18:09

ELROELBlanc Cover Cream Stick V White

202
foundation stick · dewy · $52.00 · ELROEL UK, Amazon
It definitely covered up all of the redness there.▶ 14:32–14:36
Does it not look like it has a little bit of a white cast to it versus like not over here? It's so subtle and I don't know if I'm just imagining things right now.
I truly can't tell if this is like the perfect foundation match for me or if it does have a white cast.▶ 14:44–14:48

Primer

Wet n WildPrime Focus Clingy Serum Primer

primer · $6.39 · Wet n Wild, Walgreens
I saw Manny talk about this. And not only that, but then he stuck like a box, I think it was like a lashes box to the side of his face. It was amazing. Sold me immediately.▶ 15:47–16:00
Oh boy. That that do be sticky. Could I stick one of these to it? Oh well. I mean she's sticky. I mean that's incredible.▶ 16:12–16:20
That's a sticky primer right there. So now I have very high hopes for it for the next product, which is a foundation.▶ 16:48–16:52
The primer, I think, worked really well. Like, I can still see everything sort of intact.▶ 30:02–30:05

NYX Professional MakeupFat Oil Body Oil

Coconut Cutie Sunlit Gold
body oil · glossy · $18.00 · NYX Professional Makeup, Superdrug
It's very like sparkly when you just apply it.▶ 24:27–24:34
That's a shimmer shimmer for
Ooh, she's so pretty and glossy. That's what it feels like gloss. It does look like a▶ 25:08–25:14
This isn't drying down yet. So it's an oil. That's the thing is like this is you got to be prepared.▶ 25:43–25:51
I think this would be annoying for me cuz I just feel like transfer would be really bad.▶ 25:55–25:59
I felt actually that was much more luxurious and I like how it's sitting.▶ 27:02–27:08
I don't like the scent as much.▶ 27:07–27:10
Consistency is good. So, thumbs up on this one. This one's a good one.▶ 27:50–27:54

NYX Professional MakeupFat Oil Hair & Body Fragrance Mist

Coconut Cutie
hair and body fragrance mist · $15.00 · NYX Cosmetics, Amazon, TikTok Shop
I don't like it.
It's also very alcoholy.▶ 23:01–23:05
I'm wondering if once the alcohol kind of dissipates, because again, it's a fragrance spray. Like, that makes sense.
Like I definitely smell... Well, I'm hesitating to say coconut. Like I'm smelling tropically.▶ 23:24–23:30
It's not too sunscreeny.

NYX Professional MakeupFat Oil Body Butter

Sugar Batty
body butter · dewy · $9.99 · Superdrug, Perfumerias Primor, nyxcosmetics.com
This is actually quite thick, like in a good way.▶ 21:28–21:30
I'm enjoying this. I really hate when you put it on then the second it comes in like you're left with just grease but not moisture. I hate that.▶ 21:33–21:37
I found this to be not enough for like elbows or the knees or anywhere where I get really dry and patchy. I don't know. It wasn't enough for me.▶ 21:41–21:46
The scent isn't my favorite.
I do feel like this is definitely for people just not me.

Tool

T3Curl ID Smart Ceramic Curling Iron

curling iron · $299.99 · T3 Micro, Auto World
The curling iron is nice. Like it's allowing for good glide, if that makes sense. Like I don't feel like it's catching on my hair, which I appreciate.
I like the slip factor to it in that it doesn't feel like it's pulling at my hair. It was easy enough to use.▶ 9:00–9:07
I think for myself, I would probably get a smaller size just cuz I don't I don't know.▶ 9:07–9:15
This is not going to last. This is going to not give me anything. Like, this will give me a curl for 30 seconds.▶ 26:58–27:02
I've sprayed them with hairspray. It's not going to matter, but we're going to pretend.

Mascara

KosasSoulgazer Lengthening + Lifting Peptide Mascara

Intense Black
mascara · $28 · Kosas.com, Sephora, Sephora UK
I saw a girl using this and her lashes looked insane.▶ 0:26–0:30
It is lengthening for sure.
Feels so very neutral, you know? Like, that's just a mascara that I would look at and be like, 'Yep, that for sure coats my lashes.'▶ 1:30–1:38
I feel like this isn't intense. It just feels like a normal black mascara, right?▶ 1:40–1:47
You can see that these lashes are already starting to fall.▶ 1:47–1:50
This did not do on me at least what it did that I've seen on other people. Not for me.▶ 1:50–1:57

Cleanser

MedicubePDRN Hydrating Gel Cleanser

gel cleanser · $18.90 · Ulta Beauty, 7-Eleven Hong Kong, MEDICUBE SG
This is supposed to be a very hydrating very nourishing cleanser which is always interesting to me when they call that out when it's a cleanser.▶ 12:52–12:56
The consistency is supposed to be like a marshmallow whip kind of a cleanser and it's supposed to be really good for like pore care and evening skin tone, that kind of thing.▶ 13:05–13:09
Oh my gosh, that's so so much fun. Oh my gosh, look at that. I could do this all freaking day.▶ 15:58–16:06
I was really hoping that my skin was going to look fantastic, phenomenal, if you will, afterwards. I don't what I don't understand. Maybe I used too much and then that made it worse. But like my skin doesn't look like stellar right now.▶ 16:23–16:29
I don't get the hype of that one. I'll be really honest. I wanted to. It's very fun. But yeah. Nerp.▶ 16:42–16:46

Eye Cream

RhodePeptide Eye Prep

eye patches · $25.00 · rhodeskin.com, Sephora UK
This is supposed to depuff and brighten the under eyes. Ooh, it's cold.▶ 28:08–28:16
It is quite cooling, which actually does make sense for depuffing purposes.▶ 28:17–28:22
The eye patches did, I think, brighten though, so that's good.▶ 29:48–29:51
Taking it off was a little bit tough. The more you have on, the more it's just like taking really thick cream off your face with water. Like, it's not an easy process.▶ 29:26–29:29

Face Mask

Moisturizer

AnuaCollagen Retinol Refining Gua Sha Cream

neck cream · $30.00 · anua.global, anua.com, Amazon.co.jp
This is so interesting to me. It's really cool. Like, look at it. So, it combines the cream and the gua sha into one.▶ 11:49–11:59
Oh, it feels so good on my jaw muscles.
It feels really good though. So far so good. I will continue to use it. It feels nice on my skin.
It keeps like squatching product out which is kind of annoying. And you can't really use the gua sha on your forehead which again is fine.
I am a little concerned because there is retinol in it and I fear that my neck will get, you know, a little bit agitated with that.▶ 14:12–14:20
Does it look more lifted? Be honest with me. Cuz like it does to me and I can't I don't I don't understand. I feel like I have to look at it again. I don't know. Maybe I'm imagining things. But it does look a little bit more lifted on this side. Very very slight, but I think I do notice it.▶ 13:37–13:46

Marc AnthonyBig Volume Weightless Lift Mousse

styling mousse
It's promising me big volume weightless lift. I love that. Love everything about that.▶ 9:46–9:53
Love the feeling of this stuff. So good.
What smells really nice. I like the smell of this cuz it's so bright.▶ 10:40–10:48
In terms of volume on top, I am seeing nothing. I don't know what to say. I really did think that this would be like a big gamechanging thing.▶ 11:08–11:12
I just don't see it. So, I don't know if you have any suggestions and recommendations on how I can use it better.▶ 11:32–11:37

Mist

amikaAura Hair & Body Mist

hair and body mist · $28.00 · loveamika.com, Sephora
I'm getting the grapefruit soft florals. Like I'm getting the whole vibe. Very grapefruit citrusy off the top.▶ 4:45–4:49
Smells vaguely grapefruitity. I can't smell my own hair. Oh, nope. Not going to happen. So subtle.▶ 11:59–12:06
It's like kind of vanillay. I'd have to like basically douse myself, I feel like, in order to smell this properly.▶ 12:06–12:14
I don't smell anything. Again, I understand this is not a perfume. This is not an oil. This is a mist.▶ 12:20–12:22
I don't know if this is necessarily like my favorite scent, but I know that a lot of people do really love that.▶ 12:27–12:33
