 Okay, here we go. Welcome back to my channel. My name is Nika. This is the second time I am recording this video because I realized during the first recording I had lipstick on my teeth the entire time. See, that's the thing about living by yourself. It's like real cute when you're walking around the house naked, but it's not real cute when you're on camera and you have lipstick on your teeth and you can't tell while you're on the fucking camera. But as soon as you play back the recording, it's like glaring. Just ugh. Anyways, I'm upset. Whatever. Take to best take ever. My name is Nika. If you're new, welcome to my channel. I talk about all things personal finance and beauty related. So if you sound like that kind of girl, go ahead and subscribe to my channel. If you like Instagram, please follow me on Instagram at hiblackgirl. And if you're on the internet, you know, you should also check out my blog at hiblackgirl.com. But anyway, I'm really excited about today's video because I wanted to highlight this new Korean skincare brand that I have been obsessed with. And one of the reasons I love them so much is because they are super inclusive. So they have black people and they're marketing guys. If you don't know a lot about k-beauty, they really idolize and worship having really white, really, really white pale skin. So when it comes to inclusivity in their marketing, things of that nature, they don't really have anyone who is a dark skin person on there because they don't really like that stuff. So that's one of the reasons why I really wanted to bring attention to Goodlite today because they are Korean skincare brand that stands for something different. They're super inclusive when it comes to gender. They have like trans models, black models, just people of all different shapes and sizes. And I just really, really love everything that they're doing today. So I wanted to talk about their full line of products. I bought everything because I have a problem. But anyway, subscribe to my channel if you haven't already and let's just go ahead and jump right into it. So the first thing they have and probably one of my favorite products of the entire line, hands down, is their cleanser. So this is their Cosmic Dew water cleanser and it has, let me read this, prebiotics, hyaluronic acid, something, something, some seaweed. So hyaluronic acid is really, really good for like moisturizing your skin. And this is like honestly, like, now that I am growing up in my skincare journey, I realized that there's a lot of different types of cleansers. This is a gel to foam cleanser, meaning that it gets really, really foamy as you lather it. And I am learning that that is my absolute fucking favorite type of foam or type of cleanser. So I really love cream cleansers. I really love like foamy cleansers. And so this is naturally just one of my favorite products. It's really good. I actually keep this in my shower so you know I love it. You know you love a product when you keep it in your shower, especially a face wash. So I highly recommend let me actually, I don't have my laptop on me but I believe it comes in at, let me see, I believe it comes in at $22 but let me pull up the website on my phone one second. Actually I could probably just edit this whole thing out. Okay, so actually good news. The cleanser comes in at $18. You get 3.3 ounces. So it's a really good price, especially if you typically shop for your skincare stuff at Sephora. It's going to come in at just a bit lower than like Sephora stuff. So I highly, highly, highly, highly, highly recommend it. I think it's probably my favorite thing that is the entire product line. So the next thing and you'll probably notice, this is the Moon Glow Milky Toning Lotion. Everything, every product in this line has like this super cute like cosmic like witch girl vibes, which I also super love. So this serum actually, or sorry, this toner actually was like declared like the best toner by Birdie, by Self, by like all these random awards people. Let me see. So CoGlam Self Elite Daily, Elite Daily's Glow Beauty, who the fuck is Elite Daily? And Birdie as well. So this has been a crowd favorite. I mean, honestly, I used to work at Refinery29 and oh, who's calling me? Honestly, I used to work at Refinery29 and I kind of feel like all the beauty awards stuff is a little bit of, you know, kind of nonsense. It's a little bit of a pay to play. But it's won so many awards that they all can't be wrong. And I like it too. It's really like, it has like a really nice like subtle earthy set. It comes like out just like super milky. As you can see it's dripping everywhere now. But it just like absorbs into your skin, which I really love. And being like a black girl, I honestly was a little scared that it would leave like a white cast or something in my skin. Just because it was like so white in color, but it honestly doesn't like affect that at all. It smells like a little earthy, a little minty, minty, minty, like mental, mental. If you know what I mean. But yeah, it smells really good. It leaves your skin super hydrated. I really, really like this as well. Great thing to check out. Oh, wait, what's in it? Um, so this has snow mushrooms, ceramides, oak kernel, extracts, hyaluronic acid, and niacinamide. Niacinamide is honestly one of my favorite ingredients. That's probably why I love this product so much. So niacinamide is really good for dark spots, which I get a lot of fine lines, wrinkles, acne, all that fun stuff, hyaluronic acid, which is also in the cleanser. It's also like a really good, just like hydrating ingredient. If you're looking to just refresh and like rejuvenate your skin. Oh my God, look, it's so, oh my God, I have to read this to you. Leaving your skin balance, moisturize, and radiant, like the full moon bitch. Oh my God, how can you not? It's so cute. Oh, and then here's the packaging. Everything comes and like, just this really cute, like, I don't even know how to describe it. It's just such cute, like little packaging. And when you open it up here, it says, made the good, made the good, like the way I'm such a sucker for packaging. It's just so cute. It's so cute. So I really, really love the toner. Highly recommend it. You should check it out. The next product we have here is the we come in peace, a probiotic serum. And so this probiotic serum, I really, so my two big things of like feedback, the packaging, it's a plus and a minus, right? So the packaging is really great, really secure. Like I can tell that this product isn't going to oxidize, which is really great because I hate when I buy a really expensive, like skincare serum. And then a week later, it oxidizes because I accidentally left it out or like whatever, it's just not stable enough to like maintain the integrity of the ingredients. This, however, is totally not like that because the packaging is so secure. It's like, literally airtight, you know, this shit, it's not oxidizing, not oxidizing at all. So it's going to be super potent here. But the con to that is like, I don't know how much of this I've used. I don't really know how much I have left. So that's like the one con. And then I keep dropping shit. God damn. And then this as a serum, it smells like the toner, but like stronger. And I don't really know if I'm like 100% like in love with the scent, but like the like the toner, it just like melts into your skin. You feel so moisturized after I I love it. And because Oh God, it smells so weird. It's like a tangy, like definitely menthol, but like, what's in it? Let's see. So probiotics, blue tansy, but patioili, moringa seed oil and carrot seed oil. Maybe it's the one I can't pronounce the patchouli that has that smell. Probiotics might also have that smell as well because it is fermented like probiotic tea is fermented tea. So maybe I'm smelling just like the fermentation of it that smells kind of like Oh God, I don't even know. Like maybe like pickled almost. Yeah, like fermentation. It just smells so weird. So I'm not a huge fan of the smell, but like even the way the back of my hand feels right now, it's just so it's so good. Not a huge fan of the smell, but it really works as a product to kind of negate that smell. I follow up with like just my favorite moisturizer. Right now I'm using the honey halo moisturizer. I'm obsessed. It has like a light honey scent. So I just put that on over this and it pretty much goes away. Even now like the scent is like kind of fading, which is good because it doesn't smell the best. Um, but I believe this comes, I want to say like $24. Let me double check. Yes, it is $24. Wow. So this is a really good price for a serum. I'm not going to lie. Serums are going to be the most expensive skincare ingredient like in your lineup because they are like super targeted to really treat like your problem areas. And I would say this one, like it's not giving me anything that's going to like fight my hyperpigmentation or like bright in my skin. This is definitely more focused on hydration, which has been a lifesaver, lifesaver in the winter time. So I've been really enjoying this if I'm being completely honest. Um, and I would probably purchase it again. $24 is a really good price for a serum. The next thing here, because I bought the entire product line because I am, I have a problem. I have a problem. Um, so the next thing here are the Luna pimple patches. Again, so cute. Like their whole marketing and packaging is like really targeting like which girl vibes, which is, it's me. I'm like making my moon water, saying my manifestation, saying my affirmations, like they know the type of millennial that they're targeting and they're doing it well. Um, so these are Luna pimple patches. They're like non drying. Um, probably honestly my needs, my least favorite product, they do what they say they're going to do and don't mind. This is just my unopened one I ordered too. So I have tried this product. I'm not talking on my ass. Um, this is my least favorite because at the end of the day, I put this on my pimple. It did what it was supposed to do, but it left me with a hyper pigmentation and like an afty scar. So I'm kind of like, I might as well just pick the fucking pimple if I'm going to have, you know, like hyper pigmentation. So I do not recommend this one. Definitely skip it ladies, but to be completely, completely fair, I have not find any pimple patches that don't leave me with hyper pigmentation. I think because I'm black, I have a lot of melanin in my skin. That's just something that melanated people are more prone to. So if you are a black girl or black boy or maybe someone with just more melanin than the average person and you have found a pimple patch that has left you like without any afty scars or any hyper pigmentation, please leave me a comment down below. I would love to hear all about it, but otherwise that's pretty much, oh, oh my gosh, totally forgot. So because I had purchased a lot of their stuff, they sent me these free gifts of person gift with purchase. And it was like these cute, I hate when I get too excited because then I get really tongue tied. But it was this cute like little butterfly clips and I actually wear them like a lot often. I feel like I'm 12, but look at how cute they're like little crystals. So I have a blue one and it was like pinky purple one, but like, oh my God, they are so cute. Like I literally will just put them like in my hair like this and just embrace like the inner 12 year old that I have inside. My inner child is getting her entire life with these. So that's basically it. Like out of the entire product line, I love the cleanser the most. I think if you can only get one thing, it would be the cleanser. If you have, you know, the money to splurge for two things, I would recommend the cleanser and the toner. Um, and yeah, I mean, the serum is really just for hydration. It's a bougie nice to have. I mean, honestly, Vaseline making me feel super hydrated in the winter. So just saying, but yeah, I really love the new product line. I love that they're super inclusive and they're marketing and like everything that they stand for. So I just want to highlight that brand if you're looking for any, you know, new K beauty skincare products. Um, and yeah, so thank you guys so much for watching. My name is Nakeda again.
