 Hi guys, what is up? Welcome to my channel. For today's video, I am going to be doing just a chill Get ready with me. We're gonna play with some makeup I have a drawer filled with makeup that I needed to try So I pulled a lot of items from that drawer A lot of them are going to be more affordable items. There are a few that are high end But for the most part, I wanted to keep everything pretty affordable But before we get into that, let's talk about the mirror that i'm using to get ready with me I talked about this briefly on my instagram story a few weeks back and I told you guys I would update you I'm so excited to say that today's video is actually in partnership with high mirror I spent the last five almost six weeks testing this mirror out to make sure that it was going to be worth your guys's money Because it really is a product like I've never seen before So the one that I particularly have is called the high mirror side And the reason that it is called that is because you slide it out and then you have Kind of your tablet if you will and there are so many cool features to this starting off You can turn your makeup light on just by pressing this button And then you have a really great light so that you can see yourself doing your makeup And you'll see on the menu here There is a lot of different apps that you can use everything up from social media like facebook YouTube of course instagram you can stream music on spotify and pendora So the first one that is really awesome is this scan analyzer Now I love the scan analyzer because it really takes you on a skincare journey And it works to help you improve your skin and to simplify your beauty routine So when you click on the scan analyzer, it will literally scan your face and it analyzes eight different skin Factors and it will tell you what you could improve on and what is good What I think is really cool is that actually recommends skincare products based on what your skin analysis said So for me it says that my skin concerns are going to be fine lines and roughness And I got some dark circle action going on They also have the beauty box and this one is what I'm really excited about This allows you to track your skincare and your beauty products And that way can actually set a reminder to remind you when your product is about to expire And it has a really cool scanner So you press the little plus in the corner and then you press the barcode in the top right and you take Your product you scan it and then you can fill in when the expiration date is and when you put the product Then you can actually analyze your skin again And then over time you can see how it is impacting your skin in the recommendations tag It'll recommend products based on your analysis results and the weather in your area I definitely need to try out some of these products Okay, and then this one is my personal favorite feature There is high tube in youtube on high tube You can play a video and a lot of times I'll listen to podcasts on youtube So you can actually minimize the video in high tube And the audio will still be playing and then youtube if you want to watch your video full screen What is really awesome? You can flip your mirror to landscape mode and you can watch the video in full screen You just lock the screen so it won't fall down And I love that personally. I love having a taller mirror And then I love just having a lot more room on my makeup desk My desk is crazy always brushes and products. So this is one last thing I do not need to have my laptop on my desk I can watch my videos while doing my makeup and you can leave the light on the whole time as well I love the multitasking ability that I have while doing my makeup and also while not taking up a lot of space I love that I can track my skin progress and really focus on my skincare routine I will say this. I'm going to let you in on a little bit of a tip Unfortunately due to covid and obviously everything that's going on in the world High mirror has had to increase their price But little tip very kindly given to me from the brand on urban outfitters They are keeping it at the original price until it sells out So if you are interested in picking up this mirror do it now from urban outfitters That's the best deal that you're going to have. I don't know how much stock they have left So I don't know when that's going to be done But you can get $20 off and free shipping on the high mirror website until December 27th So that is another route that you can go as well There will be a link for you to purchase in the description box if you are at all interested guys This is going to make such a cool gift. That is why I really wanted to work with high mirror on this video Because it's really really cool. All right. Anyways, let's get back into the video So of course, I don't have any primer foundation or concealer for this video That is new. So we're just going to use some products that I've been liking that are more affordable For primer, I am going to use the color pop pretty fresh hyaluronic hydrating primer I just have a bivvy size But I really love the way that it moisturizes my dry skin It feels really good on the skin. So it has been a favorite primer of mine recently It is so good and it's so affordable It is pretty hard to get a hold of this though because I feel like it is always sold out on the color pop website I'm going to quickly throw on my ELF flawless satin foundation For concealer, I'm using the Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Concealer Okay, so this is a new product to me. It's not affordable Like I said, most of the products would be of course, but this is the siaté everyday baeke coconut setting powder So this honestly has been sitting in my drawer for a long time that needed to be tried So I figured I would finally pull it out this video. I'm using a Kaleidos E1 brush This is one of the new brushes that Kaleidos came out with I'm just slightly going to set my under eyes and around the t-zone I do have a cream blush that I plan on trying out today So I don't want to put too much powder in that area You know what? I was going to say that that powder didn't seem like anything too special to be But it actually looks very lightweight and blurring under my eyes Obviously, I'm going to have to continue to use that more but I am quite impressed Okay, so I have a few new brow products to mess with So Ardell Beauty was nice enough to send me a nice box of a lot of their stuff So I want to try the Ardell Beauty Artist Brow fill-in set Now, I don't know if these are going to give a lot of coverage because Sometimes these will give a lot of coverage and you don't need to use a pencil or anything Or sometimes they're just kind of set the brow So this says it will fill the brow So I'm going to use the shade light to medium. Here is what the spoolie looks like If it doesn't really fill I have a brow pencil from M cosmetics that I haven't tried yet Oh, oh that gives a lot of coverage. Oh no What am I doing? I'm going to hand with it. Okay, so oh geez. Yeah We're not going to need a brow pencil. Oh no Brow gels like this can get messy. You have to be very careful. So this gives a lot of coverage Oh, my goodness, and I am making Walka-moly This is starting off really well. I'm not going to say this is a bad product. I just wasn't ready for it That's the most I'm debating whether to take this off or to attempt salvaging this. This is the light color. That's what really has me concerned Put on let me try to fix this. Um, I'm going to take my foundation I'm using an anastasia brush and I'm going to try and Shape the brows. I'm not going to lie though. I definitely wore my eyebrows this dark like three years ago When big bold brows and brow pomades were really in I thought this looked good Now that more natural fluffy looking brows are in this ain't it. These are block brows. Hear me out It's a lot darker than I would normally go But I don't think this is a bad product if you're prepared for what is about to happen I think that their colors are really really dark though because this is the lightest shade and this is not light It's not the best look that my brows have had but I think with a little bit of practice This could be a really nice product. I really do. I mean for a brow gel That was a lot of coverage. Honestly User error definitely happened there and my eyebrows. I can't believe are about to look like this the whole video But we're just we're gonna keep it moving. Okay, I don't have time. It is sunday night I am trying to relax after filming this So we're just gonna pretend like they look okay All right, this isn't a tutorial. This is me just trying products out. I'm not here to impress anybody So now we're going to go into eyeshadow palette So I was in target a couple weeks ago and I've been eyeing the elf retro paradise palette for a long time Now it came out this summer. This is not a new palette by any means And I feel like everybody and their mama has done a video with this palette But I wanted to try it too I've been really curious about this elf palette and I know I'm normally just a high-end luxury channel But I do gets down with some affordable makeup So I'm gonna start off with this cream shade and I'm going to apply that Underneath my brow bone now. We're gonna take Dijon right here. We're gonna do a super simple Look you guys nothing crazy so far so good. I did the most basic colors But me like you so far. I feel like since my brows are so dark I'm bold right now that we should go a little bit more bold with the makeup So now we're gonna go into Fuego, which is this nice peachy coral color I'm gonna put this as the blend out shade. So I'm blending out my original transition shade This nice fine pop of orange now. We're gonna do Baja Mar. This is a really cool Green shade. Okay, this could like ruin my whole night. Let me get closer so you guys can see So it's a very light pastelly shade So I'm being very careful just to build this lower part of my crease So we have those transitions there already. So I feel like for talking in terms of Quality this is a little bit lighter on the skin than it looks in the pan I'm not gonna fault it though. It's an affordable palette But I would have liked to have seen a little bit more depth in this color or I don't know It just doesn't look like it does in the pan I don't want to over blend this shade because I feel like it would lose the opacity now We're gonna take some of royal. This is going in the outer V We are getting some fallout even though I shook the brush off. It's okay. We will make it work This alomar detailed diffuser brush by the way. It's amazing for this detailed crease work No lie though slow and steady wins the race, but how bomb is this eye look going? It's looking really awesome Probably with this palette though, you might want to do your eyes first before you do the face I like to live on the edge, but I think moving forward. I will not live so dangerously Going to try and bring back some of that vibrancy of the green now. We're going into sip sip had to I mean This is really really gorgeous and the shimmer is really nice quality. Wow. Wow. Wow I'm loving this look. I wanted to do something cool with the purple underneath But I'm just loving the blue and green tones together So I'm just gonna carry the green underneath take a touch of the navy underneath. This look is just gorgeous You take a touch of fuego as well, which is that coral shade that we use I'm gonna bring the coral shade pretty low. Let's take some of sea salt as our inner corner color I mean, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't Thoroughly impressed with this palette now. Of course, it's going to take a little bit of extra work Does it replace my Natasha Denona ballots? No for the price I really think this is a great way to incorporate some color into your collection It does take a little bit of work. It does take a lot of building up You're gonna get a lot of fallout do your eyes first But for what the 15 bucks that I paid for this palette Definitely worth it recommend this palette for sure if you're balling on a budget because this look is stunning Okay, let's move on. I have a liquid liner from me baleen to test out This is the master precise all day liquid eyeliner. This was a very kindly gifted to me I'm just gonna do a quick line on my upper lash line. It's a very long Felt tip. I like felt tip liners. I think I prefer them over brush tips Again, really impressed with this eyeliner. It is very very black. It's very matte It went over the shimmer is great. The only thing is though when you layer it on top It definitely starts to feel a little bit thick So I would suggest not layering as much as possible, but it's matte and that's really hard to achieve So so far. I really really like this as well I'm gonna go to contour after this product because I do have a cream product to try out These aren't affordable, but I wanted to use them. I've been dying to and I don't have another blush These are the siate dewy blush glossy cheek tints I've swatched this shade before so I want to go ahead and use this one Look how cute the packaging is and it's literally a dewy Austin. I don't know So this is in the shade coconut. So it starts off looking like that It looks like it has a lot of pigment, but from what I can tell so far Is it blends out very sheer. I'm gonna use this random morphe stipple brush Pat this in So it is a really glossy effect though from what I can see right now This is the first time I'm applying it. So I don't know that I like that Honestly, and it looks like I'm putting lip gloss on my face But you can see the color really sheared out and it does give you almost like a sweaty cheek look I don't know. That might be something that you're into You know what if you're into super dewy skin light Sweaty kind of look and I mean sweaty in a good way. Okay, because some people like that look like Samantha ravendall. She said it before she likes to look sweaty. This is kind of what that's giving me I don't think it's breaking up my foundation or anything though I was careful to make sure I didn't get any powders underneath. I'm going to give it a little bit of time to set down I think it's going to be interesting to see how my powder contours go on after this But I don't know that I like this product just because this isn't the vibe that I go for I mean it kind of looks like lip gloss on my cheek And I'm going to see if it dries down at all because if my cheeks Stay feeling like this then I don't think I'll be the biggest fan of this. This is a look Honestly, it is not much color. It really blends out. I don't think I'm a fan, but I just wanted to share that with you guys All right, so I'm going to do a quick powder contour So I haven't got to use these yet But colitos came out with charisma contour palettes and I do believe They are having their black friday sale early. So if you want to get some of their stuff discounted Now's the time to do that. I'm going to use the cool in light palette. So this looks really really good I'm also going to use the colitos c1 angle contour brush and transparency They did send this to me and I've had it for like a month and I haven't grabbed for it yet So I'm using this colitos brush and I'm using the really gray shade And I'm just going to quickly sculpt right in the crevices of my cheeks And I don't want to judge this too hard right now because I do have this weird glossy stuff on my cheeks So this looks a little patchy the gloss on my cheek might be why now I'm going to use my refer number five brush I'm going to warm up the skin. Oh, I really I think I like this I'm not sure yet, but the colors seem to be blending smoothly onto the skin not looking too patchy It is giving me a really nice contoury kind of effect because my brows look really atrocious right now. I cannot I really cannot with my brows right now. They look crazy I love filming these sit-down videos because stuff always ends up looking weird. Um, okay, so so far. I like this It's not too pigmented. I like that they have a different color ranges here Really nice product. Actually, you know what? Let me go into the lightest shade right here And I'm going to just brighten up down here. Oh, yes Yes Okay, I really like this product. I recommend it. I don't know why it took me so long to finally use this I think I just forgot about it in my drawer, but if you're looking for a good contour palette Something cool from a new indie brand. I really like that. That's good and highlight We'll also do some colitos products. So they came out with a new highlighter. This is a space age Prophecy highlighter. Okay. Look at this. I just need to show you this watch whether or not I use it The colors in here are insane and it's never going to pick up on camera, of course But it's like orange green and blue shifts in there I don't think you can see the green blue shifts, but they're in there You know what? Let me go ahead and use this today I'm going to use the h2 brush from colitos and I think with the glossiness of my blush Oh Oh my god, that looks so not flattering, but it's amazing. You only need a little bit This brush is a little bit too dense. So I'm picking up more than I would like I mean, I'll be honest when I turn and it's green. I don't know if you can see that. I look sick. Um But the orange is so are you picking up like do you see when I turn like this? It kind of turns green blue It's not as cute, but Oh my gosh, that's so cool. If you have a deep complexion, I swear deep complexions These kind of highlighters look incredible on your skin tone and I'm so jealous. Okay So that highlighter is so incredible. Not my style Probably won't really ever wear it except to like a nightclub, which that also won't ever happen But if you're cooler than me, you would wear that like please that is awesome I'm quickly gonna throw on some random mascara and then we'll do a new pair of eyelashes I got this cool pr package from salon perfect. I'll be honest. No idea how they got my address Never have received anything from salon perfect before But we're gonna try Let's try these lashes. These are the 680 lashes. They look very dramatic Let's go for it I'm gonna go off camera and do this because it's gonna take me like 20 minutes and then I'll be back I figured we throw in a new setting spray since I haven't used this guy This is also from siate and this is the everyday vk spray Oh Kind of a good mess, but if you get too close, then it kind of really smacks you It's like right here's good, but literally move an inch forward and it smells bad That kind of smells like an authentic coconut. It doesn't smell like artificial I mean it is artificial smelling, but it also kind of has a real natural coconut essence doing Okay for lips I didn't necessarily have something new that I thought would look exceptional with this But I did pick up a l'oreal color rich shine lipstick in sparkling rose I could be wrong, but I think jessica brawn really likes these like I know she likes some type of l'oreal lipstick But I couldn't remember what it was. Should I pick this up? Well, okay, that's a lot Lighter on me than I thought it was gonna be I need a lip liner You know what I could have used? Where is it? I also got the lip set that also came out with this elf palette That would have been good that definitely had something that would look good We're in too deep now. So this is just a nice light shiny lipstick Kind of similar to the fenty lip shines, but I think the fenty lip shines are a little bit better But you get the vibe with that and then I'm going to use some maybelline Lifter gloss in opal. So this was sent to me from a maybelline pr box. I've been really liking these lip glosses I've tried a couple other colors though. It's not the most long wearing a lot of people have been comparing these To fenty. I think the fenty formula is a little bit thicker and stickier So it lasts a bit longer than this one. This one just kind of disappears after a little bit But nonetheless, I think it's a really nice gloss formula. All right, you guys So that is a final look. This was me just playing around with all of these products So I just want to talk about some of the standout products today that I think I'm going to recommend to you guys We'll start off with the ardell artist brow. Now, this stood out to me I don't know if I would recommend it to you I'm going to leave this on my desk to continue to play with this because I think I like it This product has a lot of potential I really glued my brows down and it really gives a lot of coverage Which I think a lot of you will like or dislike it just kind of depends on your preferences But this stood out to me, maybe not in the best way, but I think I like it Definitely, we have a bit of a learning curve with that product Okay, I think this was kind of the standout of the video the retro paradise palette from elf Like I said, you know, I did have to work with it. It wasn't amazing quality But for the price that it is I'm really impressed the colors that I specifically used are very Hard to formulate. So normally in a more affordable palette like this, you'll find that when you use these types of colors They turn out to be duds So if the neutrals are as good as the colors, I'm expecting the neutrals to be better than the colors Just because by nature they should be then I think this palette's really good So obviously I have to continue to use this more but of everything I use today This was definitely the most exciting product to me. I'm gonna have to test wear time But I think this Maybelline master precise eyeliner is really nice really dark really black Like I said, try not to layer over too many times because it'll start to feel tight But it's so black and pigmented on the first layer that you really don't need to go over it anyways So I'm really liking the eyeliner and then this collido space age prophecy highlighter It's just plain cool. Like I don't think I would necessarily use this as a highlighter like ever again That's a no, but this needs to be all over my eyelid. Oh my gosh. This is gonna look so cool all over the eyelid There's not a lot of colors out there like this on the market I don't think I have a single color that is like this. So I'm so excited about that All right, you guys so that is all I have for today's video I definitely was just in the mood to sit down and play with some makeup that I've never tried before So one big last final thank you to hymer for sponsoring this video Make sure you guys go check their site out and if you aren't subscribed to me I hope you guys would take the time to do so I would really appreciate it and I will see you guys in the next one Bye guys. Have a good one
