 Hi guys, my name is Nega. I am back. If you're new here, subscribe to my channel. I talk about all things beauty and finance and right now in today's video we are going to be talking about some of my favorite beauty products I've been loving lately. I am super nervous for this so I'm going to light some sage just to start out. And you know honestly like there'd be haters on the internet so we just have to sage to make sure we don't have any bad juju on this channel. Okay well, wow I'm so nervous to talk to a camera. Okay so my first product that I absolutely love are these tower 28 lip glosses. I have three here. You can see this one is legit empty. I never empty a lip gloss like this. I always lose them first and there's one somewhere here that I lost but I am just oh these are the best lip glosses guys and they're only $15. I get them from Superfora. They're from Tower 28 Beauty and a cool thing about Tower 28 Beauty is that they aim to be an affordable beauty brand. They're Asian American owned and so the name Tower 28 refers to their price point. Everything they sell is $28 or less and these lip glosses are $15 and this is actually a two first so I got both of these for $22 for like I don't know a limited edition sale they had but it's like a clear lip gloss and then you get this cute like little Sydney one as well and I just oh they're so good like a lot of lip glosses are sticky these ones aren't sticky it's like clean beauty just look at this like so good I absolutely love it so if you're looking for new lip glosses this has literally been my favorite brand that I've been buying the only other brand of lip glosses I really bought like this were the fenty ones and honestly I like these more than the fenty beauty so I bought for this year and I'll probably buy for next year because they are just bomb so that's it for them the next one is actually this pharmacy honey halo moisturizer I realized my skin loved this so much because one of the ingredients in it is shea butter which I love I put shea butter on my body on my face sometimes on my hair but this moisturizer is really good because it's formulated with shea butters again you can tell I emptied this one out it smells so good it's like a it's called a honey halo moisturizer and they're literally is like just a slight scent of honey to it it's so good I actually have already bought a new one so this is the original packaging that it comes in you can see here and it's just I just love it so much I'm like ripping this box open so you can see this is what a full size looks like and when I love to say comes with this like little stainless steel scalpel stainless steel is like a natural anti antibacterial microbial what have you material so it's really nice to have it and then this is like magnetic so it just sticks to the top and you just have your little scalpel there and I just love it so much oh and I've been saving this too okay can I open this one I've been saving it because I just had some other moisturizers that I need to get get through but this is like my favorite one for winter okay I don't know if I can open this we have to do this another time but it's so good I'll see if I can like do some swatches on the side for you is here but I love this and it smells so good and this one is $45 so quite pricey but it's a really good moisturizer honestly if you're in a budget I want to get it it has ceramides in it and a good affordable alternative to that would be like syrupy they are known for having really good ceramides so the next thing on my list is this kale plus green tea like superfoods cleanser by use to the people as you can see this is empty I literally when I got to the end of it I was putting water in it swirling it around and just trying to get every little last drop out of this that I could I love this cleanser it smells of like eucalyptus and you can definitely tell like you know there's green tea in it it just smells so like earthy kind of like sage honestly and I think that's why I liked it so much the price point in this one is $36 though so this one is a little bit pricey and I definitely would say it's like a splurge item and I mean I really haven't repurchased it yet but I love it it's so good it comes with this nice little glass bottle and I would just keep this like on my vanity and just use it every morning every night throw it in the shower when I needed it like such a great cleanser so the next one I actually don't have here but it's the Saturday skin cleanser I'll put a little picture of it up to the side but it's it's like washing your face with lotion it gets so foamy and I'm realizing that's what I really like in cleansers so this cleanser is more of like a gel-based cleanser but the Saturday skin cleanser gets so foamy it literally feels like you are washing your face with lotion it's amazing like just kiss highly highly recommend that cleanser and that one is usually $26 but most recently it was on sale at Sephora for $20 and I'm deeply upset that I missed the sale but it's nice to see I think there's Saturday there's Saturday skin stuff at Sephora goes on sale quite often because I don't think Americans like KV that much but you can also get it at SoCo Lam too if you're looking for it so the next one I have here is the youth to the youth to the people super very hydrating glow mask so this is a mask that you use at night and it has vitamin C, squalene, hydrolytic acid see that's sometimes fast and then Mauqui in it and I love this for treating my hyperpigmentation at night I literally slugged with this if you don't know what's like again it's where you basically just put a whole bunch of moisturizers on your face at night and it really just helps with my hyperpigmentation I would say that's my biggest skincare concern so anything that has vitamin C in it that is brightening I love and this is really good it smells like I don't know how to even describe it kind of like a starburst almost like a light starburst it has like a kind of like a sweet tangy smell smell to it but I really like the scent and I think it's really good and this comes in at $48 so it's a little pricey too I would say these are like kind of in the same price range but if I had to choose between two of these like if I could only get $150 item I would get this one just because it has some actives in it like active ingredients and so it's also treating my skin while moisturizing my skin okay next one whoo black and business so I have been obsessed with the black girl sunscreen it's super affordable at Target I want to say it's $16 so $16 you get the full three ounces it's amazing it's a really nice thick like lotion almost so sometimes even if like if it's a really hot day I literally will just skip my moisturizer stuff and just go straight into the SPF because this is so ultra moisturizing and it's one of the few sunscreens that I've used that goes on white and then like actually shears out to not leaving a white cast on my brown skin so I highly recommend this guy oh and it's affordable so like it's under $20 like you have no reason not to get this so my next one so the next one on my list is this fresh kombucha facial treatment essence I really love this because my skin really just drank this up like water like it was amazing it does smell like not too good like like it smells like kombucha which is fermented tea so it doesn't smell bad but it smells like what it is and it's supposed to be anti-pollution smooths boost luminosity and I definitely feel like those are true you can see mine is empty I got the mini version because they did have a fresh sale at Sephora and I got this I want to say maybe for $30 which is a lot of money for this tiny little thing but I definitely think this is one that's really worth it if you want to like I'm not going to be super late and something that's just gonna keep your skin looking like fresh and dewy and glowy like this was my go to for the summer especially when I was doing like no makeup days and the regular size runs for $74 damn and the mini goes for 36 so I probably got it for like $20 or something I think it was like 20% off but yeah that was really good and it was like I really really loved it guys like if you have an extra $100 to slurge like that's the girl okay these are just my notes for the video I know I feel like a child so the next thing on my list actually don't have it here but it's the use of the people clay mask and I reviewed this on my channel and it's like it's a lot of people don't have it here but it's the use of the people clay mask and I reviewed this on my Instagram quite a few times make sure you follow me at hi black girl and honestly guys I love the mask so much I literally just got a mini like a free sample that ended up blasting me like the rear four uses and my skin just felt so clean it's so clear afterwards like I'll use it whenever I was having like breakouts and it literally would just smooth the redness clean the gunk out the pores and like it was just so great especially I like to use it either at night or like right before I knew I was gonna plan a lot of makeup on my face so she's $36 I still haven't bought bought one since I got that free sample but I think for 2022 it's going to be on my shortlist for Sephora purchases honestly and this another free sample I guys I I swear by free samples like I do not use my points for samples I get them for free with the coupon codes and Sephora.com but like buying many is getting samples and that's the best way to really expand and explore your skincare game without spending like 30 $20 on a product that you don't know if you're gonna like so my next one was a part of the Sephora birthday get so I got the lana edge set and this was a sample of their waterlip sleeping mask and whoo whoo whoo like I love these honestly what I usually do my affordable fav is just putting some Vaseline on my lips before I go to sleep but if you want a little you know a bit of luxury something luxurious and it smells like it smells so good honestly it smells like those jelly smack lip glosses this is gonna age me but yes girls like the jelly smack lip glosses is exactly what these smell like and it's just amazing to put it right on your lips before you go to bed give your partner a little kiss kiss and like I love this pink color to you so all the different colors have different scent profiles but I love this pink one because it just makes your lips look nice and rosy and it's not like I feel like I almost put like lip gloss on as I'm going to bed and it smells really good it's giving me nostalgia with like the lip smackers and it's just I think they run for $20 oh $22 so this is gonna be on my shortlist for purchases as well but whoo get you one of these they're so good and like I highly recommend them especially because they're so affordable and like this is a mini sample size so the $22 size is much much bigger than this but if you want to try it out definitely get you a sample girl oh so the video is coming to an end my last product and honestly my favorite favorite product is the Ilya super serum skin 10 SPF 40 the girls said you know they want it like coverage COVID we're not going outside everyone wanted like coverage this girl she delivers not only does she give you like a light BBC like dewy glowy finish she gives you niacinamide she gives you squalene she gives you hyaluronic acid what more could you want like oh it's oh let me it's so perfect like the top of this thing does get kind of sticky and gross like one piece of product feedback but like the actual product itself it's so good so you just put a little on as you can see here and then you rub it out and it oxidizes and it smells it smells really good too I don't know what it smells like though kind of like a soft like powdery scent almost and it just look at that it just blends into your skin oh my god and you just look so soft and gluey like gluey do we like I don't know if you can compare my two hands but ah and it smells really good and it's just it's like perfect lightweight like this is what I use every day I like it a little bit more in the summer because it is an oil so it does give you like a dewy glow and the winter I like to do you a little bit more of a matte look so I'll use the tower 28 alternative I forget what it's called something sunny days I use that one but this is my favorite one for the summer and honestly my favorite one overall because compared to the Fenty BB cream compared to tower 28 this one's actually about better formulated because it has all those active ingredients like niacinamide is so good for wrinkles and hyperpigmentation hyaluronic acid is really good for hydrating the skin as well as squalene too it's a nice like hydrating humectant ingredient so the formula on this oh girl and it has SPF 40 in it like a drop the mic it's over this out of everything I saved the best for last I have everything this is this is what you should get fuck all this other shit this is this is it and the price point it is a little bit expensive it's $48 but it's worth it and this will last you for so long and it's a sunscreen girl you do not you can wash your face put on a toner and then just put this on cuz it has your skincare ingredients it has your color for your makeup and it has sunscreen to protect you against the scone so like wash your face put on a toner and then put on this oh bitch you're done you're done you're done so this is amazing I really recommend it and yeah can't believe we've come here we made it to the end well thank you so much for watching this is the end of this video so that is actually the end of the video so I have everything if you were to get anything I
