 Hey guys, it's Monica. I went to share with you a couple of things that I have really really been loving and A couple of things I haven't been loving all that much So I'm gonna go through a little bit of my trash, but I'm also gonna talk to you about some new things that I have So many of you know that Jay and I went on a trip We went on a trip to Vegas and we went to the Grand Canyon and right before I went I've already shared those vlogs and all that but right before I went I've received this package from a Balzano And Balzano is a handbag Subscription monthly subscription service much like BoxyCharm is makeup and any of the other ones are skincare and FabFitFun This is a handbag and accessory So if you are like a handbag and accessory person you might really enjoy this So I received this package and I thought it was really fitting that I was going on a trip When I received this so this is and I shared this before so this is like you strap this around your waist and You can you know you have it's a waist pack or I used to call it a fanny pack Anyways, this was a godsend on my trip. I was able to secure all my money My tickets everything in this compartment and then there's a few zippered compartments in there for credit cards and For your lot driver's license and ID and if I was going overseas my passport and other compartments Big enough to hold my cell phone big enough to hold a lipstick or you know a few items that you want to be able to reach readily then two outer compartments one would hold a cell phone now I have the iPhone 10 The iPhone s max or whatever it is anyways a really big iPhone It would not fit in these two outer compartments, but it fit beautifully inside here So I was able to slip it in here and then in this outer compartment. I had all my change I had my actually put my boarding passes in here as well And then in this compartment, which is quite secure, but it's a little thinner You know if you wanted to slip a couple of bucks, so you didn't have to open up a zip anything You could just open this up it actually connects snaps so to speak and You know to open it up you have to squeeze these two things together and then it opens So if you like just wanted to give the bag man bell man Curbside attendant a couple of bucks for taking your bags and you didn't want to open anything up That's what I did. I put ones in here so that I had some tip money on travel day And you know you could you could I mean this came in so handy I was like so super surprised. It is well well constructed and the band was big enough that It was comfortable the only thing is I was worried that these would you know like attract attention and all that they really did it I mean I had to you know put this off and put it inside my travel bag. Nobody opened it up you know not my you know like when you're going through the TSA the Regulations where they're searching you and all that I didn't have any any problems at all with this and I thought it looked really cute I thought it was really really cute. So along with this bag that day when I was traveling They sent this accessory pack and they sent these moisturized gloves now I've used these Twice they are reusable. I forgot. I think you could do like I'd have to read it again I think it said like it was like 240 Times you could use it But you take them out. I just put them back in here. You don't have to you can store them any other place that's a dark and You just put them on for 20 minutes. Oh My gosh, I must I don't even want to put them on right now because I'm gonna not want to take them off But oh my gosh, these were heavenly and already they feel Fabulous fabulous So you know you make sure that your hands are obviously clean and dry And then you put them on and you keep them on for 20 minutes and they're reusable You just seal them back up or put them in a dark place. I just put them right back in here. Keep them on. Oh Wow, they feel it felt awesome. So these were like super super awesome to receive the other thing that they sent that I used and washed is This little accessory. These are these accessory packs. So these a little tiny Beauty Blender I loved it and then a bigger Beauty Blender that came in here and I absolutely loved it I mean, you know, they're an off-brand Beauty Blender. They're not like, you know the but they feel so They feel so good and so Soft really really nice. I really like these and they're perfect size for traveling So I thought that was like amazing. So let me just tell you a little bit because Normally it's a hand handbag you know subscription and Then they have an accessory pack that you can get one you one time. I got a beautiful scarf I've gotten some little jewelry. I have like little earrings. They sent with a little bracelet So the accessories that go along with your subscription are really cool But you can also get this other pack That if you really wanted to add it on for ten dollars a month, you could but the subscription because people always ask me I'm gonna link all the information below the subscription. If you just did a monthly subscription. It's 35 3395 if you did it quarterly it says here. It's 101 80 and if you did it yearly, it's 36666 so, you know, obviously yearly is a better buy than you know quarterly or monthly But you get two to three beauty products each month if you're going to be doing the the you know That comes with your two to three products that'll come with your handbag and accessory subscription and And then you know, you can sign up for the purse accessory accessories and all of that stuff You can add purse companions if you want these were the purse companions. They sent me with the gloves The beauty blender. They also sent me a little travel eye Pallet which I haven't opened yet. I haven't used this yet, but just you know I'm gonna open it up and swats it swatch swats it La la la and see how it looks because this might be the perfect size with somebody that just wants to throw One thing in their travel bag and have some shadows with them But anyways, I'm gonna give you all the information below if you're at all interested in subscribing to this It is like it's I think it's a lot of fun last month I got a bag and I and I showed it to you all and I really love it I Got a bag that holds my laptop and it's like it was burgundy and it was I could just stick my laptop in it and a Couple of work items so it's sort of like a almost like a briefcase if you want to think about it but cross-body type of a bag that held my 13 inch MacBook Pro and number of other things perfectly fine for work and This was just awesome. I was so so thrilled with that. So I just wanted to share that with you because that You know, that was that was really super and I want to thank Malzano for sending me this I truly truly appreciate it. I've talked about their their story their brand story Before but if you're not familiar with it, it is really a heartwarming story I'm going to link my previous video so that maybe you can listen to the video but it is all about removing the labels and Yeah, and she the owner of this company and her daughter Definitely removed the labels. So I'm like super thrilled to help support them and I'm so thankful They sent me this wonderful package The other thing that had come in right after I left so it was waiting for me when I got home from my trip was this wonderful wonderful package from Sigma brushes and I'm telling you I absolute this This is I'm in a demo of this not in this video, but this is their brush cleaner and Or and I absolutely love this. I thought this package was awesome So I did get a few brushes and I have used these brushes this particular one. This is the small Tape bird and they have the numbers and I will make sure I leave the numbers But oh my god, I was having so much fun Applying my eye shadow with this and this one I know it's not you're not really supposed to be you know, I used it for my blush anyways. I use this for my blush and This is the f35 tapered highlighter, but for me it was a great blush brush This is the big powder and so yeah when you're putting on any kind of powder and you want to powder off That was really awesome. I am loving loving these Sigma brushes that I got the whole Sigma package I'm loving. I have not tried they sent a neutral a warm neutral palette. I haven't tried that yet I did show it last in one of my previous videos and they also sent a lipstick they sent a highlighter a contour brush I haven't opened this one to use it yet and a lipstick and a Brush cleaning fluid liquid. It's really awesome. I love it. I absolutely love it So thank you so much to Sigma for sending me that a couple of things that I bought I am now granted I have my Raquel Welch flirt alert wig on and either you're gonna like the wigs on me or not I you know, I love them I love having the different looks and I love the ease of being able to put a wig on my head and Being able to sit and do a video or run out to the store or something without having to fiddle with my hair But many of you know that I do have thinning hair and you also know that I have been you know that I highlight my hair and Touch up my hair. I think it was Mary Ellen after 60 And if I'm wrong, I will have to correct myself But I think I had heard about this product on Mary Ellen after 60 channel This is called wow and this is a powder That I'm gonna try to put my Sigma thing over the mirror This what I really like about this. This is a root touch up They have a small end brush and a larger end brush so what you do is You just can dab this into your roots if you're starting to see some gray and it'll cover them up So I got I think this is the the brown the light brown or the medium brown I think this is a light brown is the one that I got. I got this off of Amazon I really really like this. I had I took this with me to Vegas and When I was just feeling like some of the grays were showing on my temple, which is the first place They go. I just covered up with this and I really liked it the other thing that I bought at the same time was Something called cover your gray or cover the gray. It's a fill-in powder. I bought this Because I saw this and I said hmm I just kind of is interesting to me the only thing I don't like about this. It comes. It's a little tiny square It comes with a brush. I don't like having a separate brush I wouldn't mind if it was a smaller brush and it was a nestled inside this container Like the brush for this container, but it isn't so this is really cool because I'm gonna cover up the mirror hair It's got a light brown and a dark brown and it is the same idea You can take whichever blend of color you want and you can clear, you know clearly cover up Any gray in your temples that you want or anywhere else for that matter if you have gray going down your Your center part, you know in your hair, etc So I really like both of these products. The one thing that I thought was the best thing ever on them is that None of them. I mean, I suppose you could color in your scalp if you pressed it on your scalp But none of them colored my scalp I was able to brush it along with the flow of my hair and coat the gray on my temples without coloring in my scalp Which I thought was really nice. So this worked awesome for traveling I really liked it an awful lot the color worked out perfect for me this I'm keeping mostly at home Because of the separate brush and all that So yeah, this might go to work in my bag just in case, you know I'm gonna film a video at work and I want to shut up the gray and this might stay at home on my my cabinet So I really really liked that a lot and I'll link it below it. They were not expensive They were not expensive and for me they covered up my gray really really nicely and lasted all day Which I thought was really really super awesome The other thing is YSL. I had received from YSL I don't know quite a while ago and I'm almost embarrassed to show you because it's a little dirty But I had received this mascara by the octaline network and I had actually reviewed it and said that I really liked it I like the brush. I Liked how it applied. I still have some in here. It's not empty. Well, they had shown another one And I said and I said to you know, I said wonder if they'll send me this as well So I requested it via the octaline network and this is the YSL This is the shock mascara as is this one, but this one is black and this one is blue Remember when we were kids? Used to have the white eyeshadow and I anyways used to use blue mascara whenever I could I Love to blue mascara. So I said wouldn't that be cool if I could get my hands on this And it's a really I can you see the blue? You can probably see it really well on here, but you can't see it so well I'm gonna look in the mirror. You can't see it so well on my eyes now. I Haven't been coating and doing my whole Mascara in blue at all. I've just been doing the tips and I really like that. So I'm using my base mascara blacks this or any other mascara that I'm using I will use and that I go over this YSL the shock mascara in cobalt I think it's cobalt it wills in blue and I go over the tip of my lashes And I really like it and then I actually brought it down a little bit more just like a one or two You know swipe over after I've applied the mascara and it kind of gives me this Kind of you know blue tinge to my my mascara, and I really like that a lot. I think that looks really really cool So I was really thrilled. Thank you so much YSL. I advise the Octoly Network for sending me that I've really Appreciate it and love it a lot So the other thing that I got that was a total. Oh My gosh, I'm looking for it. Here it is. I It wasn't a it wasn't a surprise that I got it It was a total surprise that I loved it as much as I did I had requested by the Octoly Network from Becca To try both their eyeliner or their their lip liners and their lip stick So I didn't get approved for the lip liner And I was really kind of bummed because the lip liner is actually what I was hoping they would send me and The lipstick was sort of like okay, you know that'll go be nice companion piece to it So I ended up getting the lipstick So I ended up getting the lipstick and I I showed this briefly in my other video But I just had to come back and tell you after I think I've never quoted that video was like two weeks or something I just had to come back and tell you that the shock for me, and I'm going to show you the lipstick. I Don't know if you can see it I'm going to you know, hopefully you can see that the shock for me Was truly how much I like it now Every now and then someone will say to me What's lipstick you're wearing because I never do a face of the day I just I you know, I figure my face is kind of like sort of boring So who would really care what I have on necessarily so I never really do a face of the day so every now and then some will say what is your lipstick you're wearing today and I would answer them the rest of my recollection, but since I've been using this every day I every day get somebody that either sends me a direct message on Instagram or On YouTube or in real life when I'm talking to them and they'll say to me What is that lipstick you have on it looks really really good on you? And I will be like wow I have never in my life gotten so many compliments about lipsticks as I have about this now when I Showed you guys this before we went to Vegas. I was like really I thought that little snapping noise was really cool I thought that was awesome But the most awesome part about this lipstick is it actually lasts Doesn't last 12 hours 18 hours or any some such nonsense, but I can drink my coffee I can have my breakfast. I can go to work and three or four hours later I still have lipstick on it's starting to wear off a little bit But I still have lipstick on and then I can just touch it back up. So I am like thoroughly amazed at how Wonderful this feels on my lips and how long it's lasted so this is the back and this is in the color orchid and I think it's beautiful. Now. I have been topping it off with lip gloss I've topped it off with I have a Lancome a Lancome clear that I've used I've used my Buxom That I have bought because I like the white Russian. I use that I Use the city lips that I've received from city lips in PR So I've used a number of different lip glosses on top of this and the lip liner I'm using is my Avon lip liner because I didn't get approved the lip liner from Becca But it's my Avon lip lining liner and I think it's like all about mauve or on the mauve or something like that And I really really like it a lot. I think it goes really well with this. So I'm like I'm like so So excited about that. You know, I think this video I think I've gone I don't even know how long it is, but I think I've gone on and on about Everything and I never got to my empties and to my trash So I'm gonna probably do this in two. I'll break it down into two videos So that it isn't a hour long hour long video because I have a what look at this I have a bag of stuff Empties now I've thrown a lot of empties out, but I've also saved empties Got some hair in my face. So Yeah, so I mean it I think I will I'll definitely break that into two videos I just wanted to share those things with you. I love this mascara. I love having the blue little tinge It makes me feel like I'm back in high school and I'm like so amazed at the back of lipstick. Do you like this lipstick on me? What do you guys think? Let me know. Do you think that looks really good? And I'm just I wish they had sent me that lip liner I think that would have been really really awesome and on my head. I think I already mentioned this I'm not too sure but yeah, this is my flirt alert Raquel Welch and I really like this This is the heat defying fiber So you do have to be a little bit more careful with heat defying fiber or heat Friendly fiber or whatever it is. It's like you can stand the heat where most synthetic wigs can't so being that synthetic It's not human hair. I think you know, I've been doing pretty good I've been watching a woman I watch a number of people religiously But this one woman that I watch her name is Taz and I will link her channel below her it's Taz's wig closet and She has got to be the most beautiful beautiful woman and physically she is absolutely gorgeous and But underneath it all she's friendly She she is you can talk to her her and I've been engaging on on Instagram I started commenting on her videos in YouTube. She started to comment back on mine You know, that's kind of how it goes you you reach out to different content creators that you have something in common with and You develop a relationship and so Taz is just she's just a beautiful beautiful person and a wonderful woman wig reviewer And I know for many of you in the mature beauty community you watched Nisha sugar puff and fluff her wig reviews Nisha's awesome And I love the reviews that she does and she loves that shaded this color the really blonde blonde color. She looks gorgeous But Taz recently reviewed a wig that I'm getting in a color I'm getting and I can't wait to get it and try it on me Not that I look nearly as good as she in it But I'm really super excited. So I know this is kind of a gabbing about all sorts of different weird things but But yeah, you know, it's just really nice when you can connect with somebody on YouTube and and you actually say well You know people I would like to have coffee with this person And I can't say that about everyone, but I would like to have coffee with her someday or a glass of wine it just like you know some of my my YouTube content creators that I feel super close to I I want to meet them in real life And I know that I can I know that we could sit around the fire And we could just chit chat for hours for hours and I hope that comes true So news I'm gonna end this video before it goes super long and then I'm gonna do another video Yeah, I'll do another video all in and that way, you know, yeah So thanks so much for watching guys if you have any comments or suggestions about the lipstick leave them below Please be sure to like the video Please, please, please be sure to subscribe to the channel when before we went on vacation.
