My current makeup cosmetic favorites 8 2015
Transcript
00:00 Okay, back with my readers.
00:16 Now I was saying that I bought a matte concealer a while ago that I've been reaching for.
00:22 This is the Mineralize concealer and my color is NW20.
00:27 I like to go with a sort of peachy pink underneath my eyes because it covers up the dark kind
00:38 of purpley, bluish circles that I have.
00:42 And I've been using it like in that big triangle movement where you take it and put a triangle
00:48 and then you just color it in.
00:51 And then I take my beauty blender and I just go over it, of course, damp, and I set it
00:57 that way.
00:58 Okay, powder to set my foundation.
01:02 I've been using my Mineral Touch by Younique.
01:04 I really love this powder.
01:06 In fact, I love it so much that in the wintertime I was a lighter shade.
01:12 I was the velour.
01:15 As you can see, I've hit pan really well there.
01:20 This is a little too light for me, not that I spend time out in the sun, but I do get
01:26 it from going from the house to the car.
01:28 I'm not supposed to be in the sun because I have kind of like an allergy to it from
01:35 my lupus.
01:36 But anyway, I got a little tiny bit of color so I went up on the color and this is the
01:40 Taffeta.
01:41 Do I have the powder or the cream?
01:45 Press powder, yes.
01:46 So I like to use the cream in the winter.
01:50 And this is great at setting my foundation.
01:56 And some days I just take it in the T-zone.
01:59 I have kind of combination skin where it'll get a little dry around the cheeks but it
02:03 gets a little oily.
02:04 Basically, if I'm going to be going outside, I set it in the T-zone.
02:08 Not too much, just a light dusting.
02:11 I don't really use my powder unless I'm out and about and I feel like I need a little
02:15 bit more coverage.
02:17 And what I do is every week or so I wash these and then I have a nice clean powder.
02:24 Powder puff or whatever you want to call it.
02:26 Sponge, that's it.
02:27 Okay, I need to take a little bit of my water.
02:30 Sorry about that.
02:33 My mouth gets so dry.
02:37 Alright, as far as blushes, I've really been, since I lightened my hair, I hope you can
02:43 see it, I've really been going toward ginger, peachy peach, and this is a wonderful one
02:51 by Clinique.
02:52 It's the Pop Ginger Pop.
02:56 I'm sure everyone and their aunt and uncle has seen this.
02:59 Love that.
03:02 And then another one that I bought is by Younique and it's the Moonstruck Mineralized Pressed
03:09 Blusher.
03:11 And this is in the color Sweet.
03:14 And it sort of reminds me of the NARS N but better because it doesn't have like this shimmery
03:22 frost and it has a little bit more of a color to it where I feel like the NARS N, oh, not
03:32 N, that's really light.
03:34 And even though I do have light skin, I think of it more as a highlight.
03:39 So this has been great.
03:41 And before I go on, I'm not sponsored by Younique.
03:44 I just really like their products.
03:45 They work well for me.
03:46 They don't break me out.
03:47 They're mineral based and they're just perfect for my rosacea sensitive skin.
03:54 Okay, I did that one.
03:57 Now highlighter.
03:58 I've gone back to the MAC Soft and Gentle and this is one of those where I was going
04:03 to give it away or sell it and then I just left it in my cube here and I thought, well,
04:09 I'll use it.
04:10 And I've really been using it a lot.
04:12 I love the little bit of, well, it's a lot of bit of glow that it gives my upper cheeks
04:19 and too you can put it on your nose.
04:21 It's just such pretty, pretty golden, golden tan.
04:26 And people might say, well, you're over 50, blah, blah, blah.
04:29 I don't mind a little glow, you know, or a little glitter here and there.
04:34 Okay.
04:35 Next is bronzers.
04:36 I've been using two and for two different purposes.
04:41 I love the Hoola Bronzer by Benefit and I actually use the brush that it comes with
04:47 and I use this to contour.
04:50 Now I'm not very big into contouring.
04:52 Like I don't really put really dark contouring shades.
04:57 I'm thinking of trying one of the contour kits that's out there, but I'm kind of waiting
05:01 a little bit.
05:02 But this is just perfect to kind of lightly contour my cheeks, maybe along my jaw bone.
05:08 It's really good.
05:09 And I like to do like the tip of my nose.
05:11 Now as far as giving my skin like a healthy glow all over, I am loving the unique Beachfront
05:19 and this is their Hermosa Bronzer.
05:22 And it comes in like two sort of shades.
05:25 This is a little darker and I would say it has like a little bit of shimmer and this
05:31 is more of like a satin.
05:35 And I usually use this side.
05:36 I really like this.
05:37 It doesn't turn my skin orange.
05:40 It's just really, really nice, nice blush and it's, I mean bronzer and it is, let's
05:48 see, 0.2 ounce.
05:51 So it's nice amount in the pan.
05:53 Really like that.
05:54 All right.
05:55 Eyeliners.
05:56 I'm a big fan of eyeliners.
05:58 I like to define my eyes.
06:00 I rarely do my makeup without even just a little bit of liner.
06:05 And these have been the ones I've been reaching for.
06:07 As far as like a liquid eyeliner, this is my absolute favorite.
06:13 It's the Eye Booster.
06:15 Need those glasses.
06:19 It's the Eye Booster 2-in-1 Boosting Eyeliner and Serum.
06:24 And I have it in the color Deep Brown and it's by Physicians Formula.
06:28 You can see that.
06:30 I love this.
06:31 There's like, it's so easy to use.
06:34 And the way I use it is I don't put it like, I don't put it like this way.
06:39 I go sideways with it and drag it all across the line.
06:43 And then I kind of just wing it out a little bit.
06:46 I have sort of hooded eyes so I can't do the real big wing.
06:50 So I just kind of do like a side wing.
06:53 Okay.
06:54 And as far as like a pencil type, excuse me.
07:02 Okay.
07:04 As far as a pencil type, I've been loving the Younique ones.
07:10 These are called Younique Moonstruck Precision Pencil Eyeliner.
07:16 I have it in the color Perfect, which is black.
07:21 I have it in the color Proper, which is a dark brown.
07:28 And I have it in the color Passionate, which is the purple color.
07:32 And I really like the purple.
07:33 I will use this in combination with the brown or black.
07:37 Sometimes I use this on the bottom line, lash line to give it just a little pop of color.
07:43 And sometimes I use it just on the top line and don't use it with anything else.
07:48 And let me zoom forward so I can show you.
07:54 Still don't have my battery.
07:57 Now I'm just messing it up.
08:00 Okay.
08:01 Well, what I have is the Physician's Formula on the top.
08:06 And then for underneath the tight line, I have the black, which is called, that's brown.
08:13 The black is called Perfect.
08:17 And it really is the darkest black, as you can see there.
08:22 And I have that in the tight line up above.
08:26 And then what I did is I took the brown one, which is Proper, and I put it just a little
08:33 bit in the middle of my eye lash line.
08:39 And then before it dried, I just took my finger and kind of smudged it.
08:44 And I'll go up further so you can see, hopefully.
08:48 Okay, so that's basically how I've been doing my eyes when I use eyeliner, which is most
08:53 of the time.
08:54 Okay, a couple more unique projects, products that I love is their Splurge Cream Shadow.
09:02 And this is what the packaging looks like.
09:06 And I have several of these.
09:07 The one that I used today is like a gold color.
09:11 It's so pretty.
09:13 It's called Elegant.
09:14 And what I like to do is lay down one of these just with my finger on the movable part of
09:21 the lid.
09:22 These are very shimmery, but you can matte them up with a matte shade over it.
09:29 And it just looks gorgeous.
09:30 So today what I did is I put that on the lower part of my lash line.
09:35 No, movable lid.
09:38 There we go.
09:39 You can tell I haven't recorded in a while.
09:41 And then I took this NYX color, which is True Taupe.
09:48 And I put that as like the crease color.
09:52 And there's another word that they use for that.
09:55 I'll just call it crease color.
09:57 But what I've been doing is I'm just going to take any brush here.
10:01 Instead of taking my brush and going around with the crease color, I've been going like
10:07 round and then I go straight, round and then I go straight.
10:11 And I really like the look it got.
10:12 It kind of pulls my eyes a little bit more back.
10:18 And I just like the way it looks.
10:20 And then after I did that, I'll go back with another like darker matte mineral pigment.
10:32 I'm sorry.
10:33 And this, I love their mineral pigments because they come in both matte and shimmer.
10:40 And today I used a matte in my crease and that is the Adorable, which is like a sort
10:49 of a reddy brown, golden brown.
10:52 No, that's more of a golden brown.
10:55 Kind of hard to tell with pigments.
10:58 Let me see, it's sort of, I don't think you can see it very well, but just trust me.
11:06 And then in the outer edge of the eyelid, I took this one, which is a shimmer and it's
11:15 enamored.
11:16 And this is like a greenish brown.
11:20 And I blended that really well in there.
11:25 And then what I did is I took this Canyon Classics by Physicians Formula.
11:32 If you can get a hold of one of these, I would buy one.
11:35 I think they're such a great value.
11:37 I've had this for a long, long time.
11:41 This is so comparable to the Urban Decay one where they have the different colors, but
11:47 better because you have all matte colors.
11:50 You have a nice sort of brulee color, like a cream color to use as a highlighter or to
12:00 use all over.
12:01 You have two nice brown colors that are matte, but light, and then you have a dark brown
12:07 matte.
12:08 And I've heard here on YouTube that they are not selling these or making them anymore,
12:15 but I've seen them in CVS and I've seen them in Dollar Tree.
12:20 And if you can pick this up, pick it up because it's a great little palette to have.
12:24 And that's for the eyes.
12:27 Now since I've gone lighter with my hair, I've also lightened my eyebrows a little bit.
12:32 I think I need to lighten them a little bit more.
12:35 But in the meantime, I've been using MAC's Omega with just a brush like this.
12:41 This is a MAC 208.
12:44 And I dip it in there and I use it to build up and define my eyebrows.
12:52 And that's been going very well.
12:53 And then I set it with something that I forgot to put out here.
12:58 It's by Fishesh.
12:59 Let me look real quick.
13:00 You can set it with any type of clear eyebrow gel or clear mascara.
13:10 This is what I've been using and it's by Milani.
13:16 And it's just a clear gel and I just go right over it just to make sure that those wild
13:26 hairs I have will settle down.
13:31 Another product I've been using every single day for the past several months when I do
13:37 put on eye makeup is this Milani Brow and Eye Highlighter.
13:41 I love it.
13:42 It has an end which is matte.
13:44 You can even see that because it's lighter.
13:48 Maybe you can from there.
13:50 And then there is a shimmery side but it's not like Disco Globe shimmer.
13:57 That's hard to see.
13:58 I love this.
13:59 And I can see that this product is going to go a long way because you just used the slightest
14:04 amount.
14:05 I like to take the matte side and highlight my brow bone and then I like to take the sort
14:12 of shimmery but it has a little bit of jazz and I put it in the inner eye area over here
14:20 and then blend it with my finger.
14:22 Sorry, I need a little more water.
14:27 Okay I just got a couple more things to talk about and then I'll let you go.
14:32 The Hobby Stix, the Clinique ones, I love these.
14:37 This is my current favorite.
14:38 It's in the Plummed Up Peony.
14:44 You can see that it's very shiny.
14:46 I'll do a swatch.
14:49 That's the swatch.
14:50 I just love this.
14:52 It is such a nice color.
14:55 For me it kind of camouflages the red I get from my rosacea.
15:00 That kind of it does and it just lasts a long time.
15:03 You can put this down and then put a powder blush to set it.
15:08 I've even used it with this one, the Sweet by M.I.T.
15:14 Unique.
15:15 These two are a great combination.
15:18 Just really love them a lot.
15:20 I have another one, I think it's Rosie Posie.
15:25 That's a pretty one too but I've been liking this one better for my skin tone.
15:30 Now the last thing I'm going to talk about is lipstick.
15:32 I only have one with me but I have a couple more drugstore brands that I have got in the
15:39 back of my makeup area here.
15:42 I have really been into orangey lipsticks this summer.
15:47 This is the Urban Decay.
15:51 This is, I love the packaging, it's really cute.
15:54 It's kind of like bumpy.
15:56 This is the Urban Decay, let me get the color for you.
16:01 I will do a swatch.
16:04 This is called Bang.
16:05 Let me do a swatch.
16:07 It is just so nice.
16:12 It's a straight up orange sort of red.
16:15 It's a nice like pow for your lips especially if you're going out in the evening or you're
16:23 going to something special during the day and you want a really elegant look.
16:28 Instead of a red, you can try this.
16:31 Just beautiful.
16:32 For me, I can pull this off because I have a neutral skin tone.
16:37 I'm not too pink, I'm not too yellow.
16:41 I'm lucky that way.
16:44 I think if you were too pink, it would be sort of hard.
16:48 But if you had an olive tone, beautiful.
16:53 Just for reference, the lipstick I'm wearing now, it sort of looks orangey but it's not.
16:57 It's one of the Revlon Color Bursts.
16:59 I should have left my ringers on.
17:03 This one is called Enticing Desirable.
17:09 It's number 150.
17:10 The color is like this.
17:12 It looks darker I think in the tube.
17:19 It's like a orangey red but like a glossy.
17:26 I'm going to put a little bit more on.
17:35 The last but not least, I have been using the heck out of my MAC Fix Plus.
17:40 I love to use this at night to just spray over my face after or before I put on my moisturizer.
17:48 I know this is a skin care thing.
17:51 This is makeup but when I use it in my makeup arsenal, what I like to do is use it as a
18:00 setting spray.
18:02 It doesn't make the makeup last longer but when I set my skin with a powder, and it's
18:13 always the mineral touch, I just love it.
18:17 Sometimes I get a little carried away and I don't like that real powdery look so I will
18:23 open this up and put a few sprays on my face.
18:26 Most of the time I just let it air dry but if I'm drying my hair, then I'll just kind
18:30 of whiz it around.
18:31 I like to keep it in my handbag.
18:33 As you can see, it's really gotten down low.
18:36 It's a great thing for when you go to the amusement parks.
18:40 It refreshes your skin.
18:42 I really like it.
18:43 In fact, I like it so much that I recently bought the mineralized charged water.
18:49 That's a skin hydrating mist and I've been using this too.
18:53 I love that too.
18:55 I hope you enjoyed this makeup, cosmetic rendition of the things that I'm loving.
19:01 I appreciate that you have been such great subscribers and I welcome the new subscribers
19:08 that I have.
19:10 I will see you soon.
19:11 Bye bye.
19:12 I'm off.
