 Hi guys! I'm actually filming this on New Year's Eve. Jay and I are getting ready to go out to a local restaurant. We're gonna go out as soon as the Patriots game is over and we want to go early enough so we avoid all the crunch. We normally go out with my mother and dad and my sister and brother-in-law and my son and sometimes my nieces but you know it's it's like so cold nobody really wants to go out but Jay and I are gonna head out in a little bit but before I do that I wanted to answer a number of questions I've gotten about my lips. So this is going to be a little bit about derma rolling my lips and a little bit about lipstick. Now I don't have amazing lips whatsoever. Many of you know I get thin lips especially the upper lips and I'm on a quest to have better looking lips I guess. So one of the things that I mentioned in my last couple of videos is I've mentioned that I have derma rolled my lips. Now I'm a late start on derma rolling lips. I never derma rolled my lips until maybe I think it's been about two months maybe two and a half months now that I've been derma rolling my lips. I had watched Mary Ellen after 60. I'm gonna try to find her video and link it below but I had watched her. She is the content creator that I know most of you know but she is a content creator that has actually been derma rolling her lips the longest that I know of anyways. So she has some amazing before and after photos. So the derma rolling her lips has really done a lot for her lips and if I have a quarter of the success that she's had with her derma rolling her lips I will be thrilled. So that said I haven't had any results that I could see at all of my derma rolling. It's too new for me and I am a believer that things will work if you're consistent with it and in your patient. So I don't believe derma rolling my lips is going to be overnight at all and more often than not I derma rolled twice a week. So one night I derma roll my entire face my hair my face my lips. Another night during the week I just do my lips and my hair. So it tends to be on a Wednesday night not always but I'll shower wash my hair really good wash my face. I take rubbing alcohol I put alcohol all over my lip area I sanitize my hands. I sanitize my derma roller. I am very very very cautious on that. I will derma roll my lips the same way I do my face. I make a pass one way like maybe four or six times depending on my time frame and then I'll do a pass the other way and then I'll go diagonal in diagonal. I'll just keep going criss-crossing across my lips my lower my upper and then this area right here above my lips where my smokers wrinkles are. I derma there goes my heat again. Every time I film in here my heat turns on it's it's like so funny. So but anyway so I will criss-cross with my derma roller. I make sure that I'm totally sanitized and I make sure that if I touch anything that hasn't been I sanitize my hands all over again and so I'm so freaky particular about that I guess is the right word. So when I do my lips and I'm done my lips I'll typically do my hair I soak my my roller all over again in the interim I'm doing some sort of a lip treatment. Now I had really hoped to maybe do something like this. I got this lip mask in my boxy charm but I haven't I've used it but not on a derma rolling my lips tonight and it's it's it doesn't work for me it's really not I couldn't keep the thing on let's put it that way but I got these free in my in free I pay for my boxy charm so I didn't get it free but this was in a boxy charm and I thought maybe it would be a cool thing to use on derma rolling my lips tonight not the other thing that I had really wanted to think about using and I haven't done it yet only because I contacted the company and the company said no they wouldn't recommend that I use this on derma rolling after derma rolling my lips and this is the escio esho sculpt this is full of some amazing ingredients and I use this on my lips twice once in the morning once in the night it is supposed to have an accumulative accumulative effect meaning that over time your lips are supposed to stay plumber I find that this plumps my lips up almost instantaneously but then dissipates as the day goes by it doesn't it doesn't it hasn't given me any kind of accumulative effect yet I've been doing it almost for three months now I was really thinking of using this after derma rolling because I had some other content creators that I've been watching have used it after derma rolling quite successfully but when the company said to me no they wouldn't recommend it I know they're just covering them but probably um but I still didn't do it so what I do instead on my derma rolling of my lips night is that I just use and my matrixal sync six from timeless I end up putting that all over my lips and I let it soak in and it's it feels really really good and that's all I put on after derma rolling my lips I haven't added anything else just like all I do for my hair after derma rolling my hair is my Nutriox serum so that said you know I derma roll twice a week no I've not seen any major improvement do my lips feel better I do think my lips feel better I think that they are less dry this is winter for me I forced hot air heat my lips would normally be dry and cakey and they're not is that the derma roller maybe is it the sculpt that I'm putting on maybe is it my petroleum and jelly that I put all over my lips maybe or maybe it's the bite agave agave this is also something I I don't know if mariellen after six uses the exact same one but I happen to really like this as a lip conditioner lip moisturizer I put that on my lips so in conjunction with everything I have been doing this year my lips have felt better my lips are not any thicker they they're not any lusher they're not sexy they're not like warm yet I don't know if they ever will be they never have been I've been upper lips but I'm really really working at it and I'm really enjoying the things that I've been doing for my lips so the other questions I've had is my lipstick so I I believe this is Maybelline it is so old it's worn off but it's number 445 and this is on the mauve this is my favorite I don't know if you can see that probably not this is my favorite color I will every morning after I've done my lip treatment I go into the living room and I and I've done my serums my lip treatment I go into the living room and I stop my eyelashes and then when I'm done my eyelashes I come back in the bathroom and I take a q-tip and I wipe off all the you know with baby oil I wipe off all the smudgy mascara all over the place and then I stop my makeup I have been using for many years and I a few other different lip liners but for many years I've been using the avon glimmer sticks now I bought this a couple years ago I have several of these and when the glimmer sticks go on sale they're phenomenal buys so I really like these because they're the twist up they're thick enough that they're they don't break off super easy and they're they're creamy enough that they glide on my lips super nice so I this is a darker this is like a plum shade and I was told very nicely by someone early on that I shouldn't use it but I still use it so I do line my lips with this and then I will take my and I gosh I can't remember if it's Revlon or Maybelline I think it's Maybelline my my number 445 on the mauve and I put that on and then I top it off with my number 45 Rimmel this is a beautiful for me nude I happen to really it's a little bit lighter you can see it's on the top I happen to really like lighter lipstick when I'm done that then I will either top it off my tried and true has been the Buxom I absolutely love the Buxom lip creams lip glosses plumper's love them love them love them and I love the white Russian I also have the pink Cadillac or the pink pink champagne I have a number of their shades I absolutely love these I will take the Buxom gloss and I'll just top my lips with it it'll lighten it up I love it love it love it and then Laura from a shake up makeup or makeup shake up one of these days I'll get her channel right started talking about hard candy so I went in the store and I bought hard candy and I was like whoa this is really nice it is very very very close to the Buxom it is very very close I really like it it's smooth it goes on really nice and and I'm really pleased with it and then I was looking on the Octoly website and the Octoly website with the missing I really like about the Octoly website is that you can pick products that you might be interested in reviewing and I saw all these lip glosses and these are from Lancome and there there's a share gloss and then this is the share gloss I have won this gloss all week I really like it and then there's a it there's a pretty pink one and then there's a little bit of a deeper pink one and they work really nice on my lips and then a darker one the darker one I don't know I'll superimpose a clip with it on but the darker one for me is just it's it's just too dark I guess I'm a creature of habit but anyways I went on and I saw the lippies and I said oh I wanted to try them because I'm really liking the lipsticks so I put it in and the thing about the Octoly website is that you can request to review a product and the brand still have to approve you so I was absolutely thrilled when Lancome actually approved me and sent me these lipsticks so I was like wow I thought that was really awesome so I've been trying them I like the gloss you know and so I have two high end glosses the Buxom the Lancome and then I have my hard candy the only one I really didn't like was the remote gloss I tried this one I didn't like it it was too it was it was um I still have my boo boo it was tacky um on my lips really didn't like how tacky it was so um but the hard candy and the Buxom felt very very similar and the Lancome I almost don't even know how to describe it other than smooth it went on smooth it it never dried down tacky it it made my lips feel good and plump so it was very these three are very much on par price points there are some price point difference Buxom Lancome and hard candy big price differences but I'm really enjoying these glosses a lot and I'm enjoying more than I thought I would enjoy the colored glosses so I think that's really pretty cool so other than that I have a ton of lipsticks I have lip oils I have the other lip serum that I got from Gerard cosmetic I have all sorts of different and I keep checking out these lipsticks I keep trying to find that perfect lipstick and I'm you know I'm not finding anything better than my combination of the two the on the mauve and my pink I gotta figure out what color this is the number 45 on remel and my my avon lip liners and then my gloss on top whatever gloss it is I'm really enjoying the head out of whoops out of that to the point where in my pocket book here's what I carry and in here in here I just have lippies I have two pencils an avon in a remel and then I have the duplicate of my two lipsticks number 45 and number 445 the two lipsticks that I showed you that I layer in the morning and then I have another box some gloss and then I have another hard candy gloss so I have my glosses my lip pencils and my two lipsticks and then I have this amazing amazing cool mirror that carol from the old carol show had talked about it's like super super thin guys I love it because it fits anywhere and one side of the mirror oh I like that one side of the mirror is magnified so if you're like me and you need to see it big and magnified you can see it and the other side is regular so I'm really loving that mirror I'm gonna link that mirror down below so other other than that I mean my lips is an ongoing quest and the derma roller I'm gonna continue on it twice a week I hope that I can come back one day and say hey my lips are like Mary Ellen's after 60s look at the change but I'm not expecting that overnight I really I'm not expecting it overnight and I'll be super super happy if there is some more plumping in the interim I'm gonna continue on with the products that I'm using I happen to love my little lipsticks and I think you know I'm gonna stop buying all these other lipsticks because I just keep going back to the two that I have that I layer and like a lot so I think I covered it all I'm not too sure hopefully I did and I'm surprised Jay hasn't come knocking on the bathroom door yet because he wants to go out to dinner he's getting hungry I'm sure so thanks so much guys I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season and now we're into January and I can stop making my birthday list I'm gonna have a birthday in February yeah so anyways thanks for watching guys see you later have a good one bye
