    MEDIHEAL$24.00
    • I do think the value that comes in here I think it's like 90 or 100 pads in here compared to some which are like a smaller amount of pads for like a similar price point so I do get the value element2:48
    • I just feel like they are fine2:56
    • I slightly prefer some other toner pads just for my personal preferences3:01
    • The tone formula I don't know I'm just not blown away3:13
    • I've used other toner pads that I think have a nicer toner formula that are more soaked more calming more hydrating I feel like these are pretty middle of the road3:15

    • This feels so light and soothing on
    • I have just taken to slathering this all over my face but then also taking it down my neck and decol because it gives like such a beautiful glossy glow and it does dry down but like not completely but it's not sticky and my skin just drinks this up it's so delicious5:15
    • The ingredients as well it has a nine peptide complex so that is really going to help with like the plumping vibe5:39
    • I have found that this if I really want to do a one and done which sometimes I do because as much as I love a nice lengthy layer routine sometimes I just want to go to bed okay sometimes the horrors persist and I just want to go to sleep and this like this glow this sheen this gloss really is sufficient on its own6:00
    • That just looks so juicy and healthy6:21

    • It's not actually like that thick or intense7:31
    • I just feel like this would particularly shine in that cooler harsher weather where everything is really dry7:52
    • Can absolutely see why this one has been, you know, a bit of a crown blazer8:02
  4. lucylivinyt mentioning ma:nyo Ma:nyo Deep Clear Cleansing Balm at 08:56 in their YouTube video
    ma:nyo$24.00
    • The cleansing balm is also really nice but I don't feel like it's a standout compared to others8:47

  6. lucylivinyt mentioning JUNGSAEMMOOL Jung Saem Mool Essential Skin Nuder Cushion at 10:36 in their YouTube video
    • Just look how I haven't even blended it in and it already looks good10:24
    • This looks like skin. It does not look like I am wearing a lot of foundation. It literally looks like my skin. The texture is so beautiful10:36
    • You really don't need that much. I will say you can't really build it much past like a medium, but it's just so angelic10:48
    • It just looks like healthy skin. It looks like a filter11:10
    • I don't know what it is, what witchcraft. The owner of the brand, he's a celebrity makeup artist. I don't know what that diva puts in this11:24
    • This cushion has been quite popular for quite a long period of time. It's not number one this year, but I feel like it was in previous years or just is consistently in the top three for a reason. It doesn't really need my endorsement, but I'm giving it to you anyway because I think it is so good
  7. lucylivinyt mentioning espoir Espoir the Brow Balance Pencil at 12:35 in their YouTube video
    espoir$17.00
    The Brow Balance Pencilshade · Ash Brown
    • For someone like me who has a lot of existing brow and I'm looking to just kind of like define the tail ends a little bit and just fill in some gaps, you know, we're just giving a little more like formal structure to the brow vibe going on, this is very easy. Like that's done, took me like 30 seconds12:14
    • Typically this is less than 5 Australian dollar, so it's pretty great affordable pick12:35
    • I have been using this for quite a while and still haven't run out yet. Just chill and easy, which for a utilitarian product like a brow pencil, that's all I need12:39
  8. lucylivinyt mentioning NUSE NUSE Mousse Care Cheek at 13:29 in their YouTube video
    Nuse$24.95
    Mousse Care Cheekshade · Taro Mousse
    • Pretty much as soon as I first tried using this I have been using it like consistently every time I do my makeup because it's so pretty13:10
    • It is lower pigment than some other liquid cream blushes which I like cuz it means you can build it up and control the amount of color13:29
    • It's like a sheer wash of like a lavender milky pink but with a bit of that like you know natural rosiness to it as well13:50
    • I really like using it on its own I've also been using it in an even like thinner layer that I pop on first and then put a more pigmented Cream Blush on top of it but they just blend like a dream and just feel so natural13:55
  9. lucylivinyt mentioning Glint Glint Stick Highlighter at 15:23 in their YouTube video
    Glint$25.00
    Stick Highlightershade · Milky Moon
    • It's really almost transparent and has like a glow to it. It's not glittery or metallic at all14:57
    • It is just such a gorgeous like really soft glow. It's just more glossy15:23
    • It's quite subtle. It's not going to be a like wow highlighter type of product, but if you do like that really soft fresh type of makeup then I feel like this could be something you enjoy15:32
    • I do think it is a step up from just putting on like a lip balm or like any type of balm or gloss on the cheek because it's just not as sticky15:46

    • I love Korean eyeshadow palettes they just work for me they just work for the vibe that I tend to go for on a day-to-day basis16:38
    • This I can put any combination of these together and I'm going to have a cohesive eye look18:14
    • Even just with that base shade it's not a crazy amount of pigment and it's just brightened up my lid with like a really soft milky pink
    • I have a lot of thoughts every day but when I do eyeshadow looks with this palette I don't really need to have any it can be a smooth brained experience if you want it to18:48
    • It's just really creamy easy to use19:21
    • If you're someone who doesn't really like get a lot of joy out of eyeshadow or it's something where you're maybe a bit intimidated by it and you're like I just don't know I feel like it's not working for me try this palette or try another Korean eyeshadow palette19:25
  11. lucylivinyt mentioning BBIA BBIA Last Auto Gel Eyeliner at 20:54 in their YouTube video
    • It really is just such an easy, user-friendly type of liner20:28

  12. lucylivinyt mentioning Dasique Dasique Mood Up Mascara Long & Curl at 21:52 in their YouTube video
    Dasique$13.09
    • This one just immediately reminded me of some of my favorite Japanese mascaras that tend to just be the most long lasting and have like a really beautiful effect on the lash21:39
    • I love the wand cuz it's a little skinny it's not like a huge wand where it's like really big chunky you're probably going to it in your eye it's a little skinnier it's a little more demure21:52
    • I kind of want to call it like princess lashes like just that Disney princess lash vibe where they're a little more defined they're a little thicker their curl is really emphasized but it's not too crazy22:09
    • It remains feeling quite soft and comfortable to wear22:30
    • I find the brush as well does like separate out the lashes quite well you know some kind of clump it together but this one kind of keeps them fanned out and individual22:42
    • I have been really enjoying using this mascara I just feel yeah I really really like the effect
    • The only thing I'll warn you about is you do need like a dedicated eye makeup remover because this one doesn't just come off with cleanser22:59
    • I think it's worth the extra step like hello23:30
  13. lucylivinyt mentioning Dasique Dasique Juicy Dewy Tint at 24:13 in their YouTube video

  15. lucylivinyt mentioning So Natural All Day Tight Make Up Setting Fixx at 25:50 in their YouTube video
    • The Mist delicious so fine25:28
    • This one from the ingredients tends to be a bit more film forming onto the skin rather than alcohol first25:50
    • This one I feel like does give that similar like setting everything down hydrating it a little bit so nothing looks like powdery or cakey but also like melting it all together26:10
    • I would also say the price point of this one is pretty competitive compared to some of the top best selling setting sprays that are really good do have a cult following26:28
