 Hi, so today I wanted to share with you some of the most recent Items that I've been getting for my beauty and skincare routine so I Don't normally wear makeup and I'm trying to learn how to wear makeup at the grand old age of 40 So I decided that I was gonna Learn how to do eyes Because I have what's called a hooded eye and this is something I discovered I think about a couple of years ago, which explains why whenever I try to do a wingtip eyeliner I get kind of like these weird lines over here because I have a hooded eye So I started reading up a lot of blog posts about how to deal with a hooded eye especially when you're in your 40s and I found out a lot of stuff The first of which was that in order to apply eye shadow property. I needed to have a set of brushes for putting eye shadows Turns out it's not a good idea to just use your finger to do that So of course I contacted my friend Josie who's like Amazing at doing makeup and I asked her to give me a recommendation because it was so overwhelming when I typed in eye Shadow brushes and all of these results came up and she recommended that I get real techniques by Sam and Nick and I'd never heard of these before so I ordered these off of Amazon and They arrived and they're very cute. So I have them over here. You get a cute little Caddy thing that they can live in I tried using these ones and I Looked a little bit like a clown But I'm committed to learning because this is something that I've never done before but basically you have this interesting little looking thing which is a Mascara brush so the idea is you put on mascara and then you comb it out, which I forgot to do today And then you've got I don't know these different brushes They feel really nice and soft though the one time that I did use them Which was the day before yesterday except for this one This one doesn't feel nice and soft because it's very pointy and I tried to use some of the eye shadow and it just It just it wasn't it wasn't working at all Yeah Well, I basically need to learn a lot, but they feel very nice and they look nice And I come with a little cute little caddy They cost me 13 pounds, which I wouldn't have bought if it wasn't for the fact that my friend recommended it and On Amazon it has something like 2000 plus reviews. I Did find an instruction video and I tried to follow it, but It didn't make a lot of sense for me, but again, I'm still new to this So I'm still learning, but it's very cute I keep them in a cupboard They say that you're supposed to keep them on your vanity But I don't like when dust lands on things so I'm keeping them in my cupboard instead So we have that and I also on the topic of eye shadow I was shopping in Audi and I found that they had an eye shadow palette So I bought this one because it says it's smoky and I read somewhere that the Audi makeup stuff is Urban Decay Dupes and Urban Decay supposed to be a bit more expensive So I was kind of like, oh, this is a good opportunity for me to try out Something But as cheaply as is possible. I had to pause there to open it because This is the first time I'm opening it. I literally just picked it up when I went to Audi to buy stuff for Fajitas because we're having chicken fajitas for dinner tonight. Oh, nice. Look at that That's what it looks like. Oh, this feels very nice In my opinion as somebody who's this is only my second eye shadow palette The first one I bought it from a pound shop for a pound So this is a significant upgrade for me. Oh, wow. Okay, so it's got a mirror over there There's some cellophane. You can see my messy background And then you've got the the colors there and it does come with its own brush So given my lack of experience, I cannot tell you whether this is a good thing or not I'm just gonna have fun trying it out and I'd rather play around with something that's cheap rather than something That's very very expensive, but I like it that it's in a nice little case Okay, so that's me sorted out for my makeup experiments very in I learn how to do Eyeshadow because I know how to put on lipstick. I know how to put on mascara Yeah, so then I need to learn how to put on foundation and how to do my eyes So I'm doing my eyes first. That's that wonder and then the other thing that I also got was mascara I got a La Roche-Posay Tolerane mascara So I have very sensitive skin and I'm very sensitive to smells and I struggled with finding a mascara That was easy to also take off and wasn't too too hard I don't like it when it makes my eyelashes feel too hard or too spidery and my sister recommended this and It is fantastic. So I've been using it for about a week now It's just very mild very Lightweight and it comes on very easily comes off very easily when I wash it because I needed something That's very easy to wash because when it comes to my nighttime routine. I've got a very solid routine I cleanse my face and I need something that comes off easily It's got a lightweight wand Yeah, and it doesn't smell bad at all. So I love it. I love this very much. So that's the La Roche-Posay Excellent if you are somebody who Doesn't like things that feel too heavy and you also want something that comes off easily So this isn't water proof or anything like that. So if it rains and I go out in the rain I do get some panda eyes or the other day when I was laughing so hard that I had tears in my eye Afterwards, I had panda eyes But I didn't mind this because I you know I was just having such a banging time But it comes off so easily and the next morning. I don't have the You know the black Dots of leftover mascara in my eyes, which means that it actually comes off whereas before the mascara that I had used No matter how much scrubbing I would do on my face I would always wake up the next day with bits of leftover mascara, but not so with this one So that's fantastic. The other thing that I got was from Bonnie's shop I love getting stuff from Bonnie's shop because of the bright and colourful inside So I've got two things to add to my skincare routine okay, I Got the drops of youth bouncy sleeping mask and this thing is the bomb I got to try it first because my sister had a little bit left over and I tried it for Over two weeks and my skin just looked Amazing and basically I use this Three times a week as the thing that I put on my face and it's just look at I also love the jaw I am such a big job person. I like fancy jaws and this is made of glass and it's very heavy and it's green and I Can see the white it's got a very mild fragrance I can put up with it because I don't like fragrance. So yeah, so this is what I got love this So this is part of my nighttime routine and I only use it three times Three times a week. The other thing that I got is a cleanser Drops of youth liquid peel exfoliant not this thing is amazing So you just get a little bit of it and you put it on your skin and you begin to rub it and it's like a physical Exfoliant because it removes the dead layer of skin as well as the dirt That's clocked in so you can't use this every day because you know your skin will feel raw You have to be careful when you start using this, but it is amazing stuff and I use this once a week I tried it again through my sister. So I'm the sort of person that I'm Not too keen to just try something That's it hasn't been recommended by somebody that I know Because I've been burnt in the past. So I'm still a little bit like So I tried it my sister had some and she let me try it and I loved it And so I picked it up when they had a sale actually. So it's pretty pretty awesome. Yeah So I also ordered some more things from you by nature And that's because I tried their lipstick Three weeks ago and I loved it. So this is I'm wearing the nude lipstick. I think it's called blush pink But this is amazing because it feels like I've got lip balm on my lips And you know, honestly, I'd never experienced that before in my life I'd never had a lipstick that felt like I'm putting lip balm on and it's got a nice color So I went back to try and get a deeper shade because I do like this. This is a very light barely there Color shade on my lips, but then I wanted something else that was just a little bit deeper So I ordered it, but look at their packaging. That's the box that it came in and this is what I ordered But they do like a really nice gold Sticker there in terms of packaging values very very high And it's got like this little crepe tissue paper that has got nude by nature and printed in it You can kind of tell that this was packed by an individual. It's pretty awesome Okay, and so I got three things because they had a sale. They had a 40% off sale I got the creamy matte lipstick In what color did I go? I went with sunset because I wanted something that was a bit more orangey and coral And I also got the lipstick Which is a coral blush lip lip gloss, sorry lip gloss Because I thought it would be nice to have some lip gloss and I also decided to try out their mascara Which is called a lure defining mascara So the packaging is very very nice very luxe and they've got these rose gold But it is so that's the mascara So exciting. Oh, wow. Look at that wand. Oh my days It's not very watery. She can't smell anything There's Nothing. How do you use this? This kind of feels like it's right. I can't try it on because I've got mascara On here, but it's a very bendy wand. It feels quite nice. I'll have to have a look at that and then we've got the Creamy matte lipstick, it's very it's very slim Really very slim Open oh So fancy. Oh Hello Okay, so I've just wiped off the um lipstick that I had on before I'm just gonna try this Goes on really well Kind of feels like I'm getting a suction cup. Do you look at that? Oh, I love it Mm-hmm. It feels very moist as well So this is the Sunset so it's got like a really orangey tone, which is what I wanted Okay, and then we're gonna open up the gloss Which is a coral blush. So very nude So previously my lipsticks that I had they were more Wintery colors so kind of like your berries your aubergine Okay, then I'm just gonna take this off So I can try on the lift guard Wow, isn't that sound okay?
