 So if you could see in this room right now, you would be shocked at how much junk I have I swear, I'm gonna take a picture and put it on the community tab or something. I Have makeup hair care skin care nails all of it just spread all over And I'm trying to get these two videos out for you guys. Hi YouTube family We're talking about skin hair and nail care the best of 2019 today I'm going to step through these very quickly I'm gonna go through nails first then I'm gonna go through hair and then skin my silly camera does not want to cooperate with me either today So all kinds of things going on here We're gonna get into the best of nail hair and skin care right now Now as far as nail care goes there is only one brand of nail polish that I actually love and I stick to and that is Zoya if you guys have never tried Zoya, I absolutely love that they have 400 plus colors of nail polish Yes, they did say 400 plus colors I also love that they don't seem to chip on me like other nail polishes do I use a base coat and a top coat I'm not gonna mention the base coat because it's one that's been discontinued We'll mention the top coat in a second here But let me just tell you some of my favorite colors So this one is Leah and it looks white in the bottle But this has like a little bit of pink glitter in it and it can transform just about any nail polish You have into something luminescent and gorgeous and I almost wear this almost every single time I'm doing nails. I almost wear this and then this next one is Alicia This is a silver which is a tiny bit of blue cast in there and again This is glitter and most of these are glitter you guys I am the glitter queen as far as nail polishes go. This one is blaze. I recently got this it's kind of a deepened reddish berry with a little bit of glitter in there and Then this one right here is Aurora Yes, it's Aurora and it is a true purple with the glitter in there And I believe the glitter is more on the silver side in that one I also have Leslie it is a purple with a little bit of iridescence in there as well This one you have to build up and use about three or four coats to get it to be that color It's really pretty as a topper as well And then this one is actually just a cream and this is rumor and it's kind of a dusty pink there and then the last one that I absolutely love is key ki and This one is a purple Metallic multi it's not a metallic It's a purple multi-chrome and so you have the purple in there But as you turn it you can see the greens and the blues in there This one is so pretty but it will cast a very green look on you when you use it So today on my nails. I actually have very drugstore brands for you guys So this color right here that is the base coat on wear of what I'm wearing is called jam session or Sash and this is the Sally Hansen extreme nails hard as nails Extreme wear and then the other one is a Walmart brand as well. This is called frost love This is from pure ice and that's the topper that I have so those two together make this really pretty kind of I don't know kind of an iridescent look on the purple And then what I use is a top coat all the time is the Sally Hansen insta dry I am so impatient about my fingernails drying and it just it's one of those things I have to have an instant dry top coat and I love it and then as far as nail treatments go There's only one that I use and it's the organic hemp seed oil And I put this on my cuticles each night as a part of my skincare routine It's the last thing I do before I go to sleep and I put it on my cuticles and I rub it And it really does help them grow my fingernails and my hair are going through a very tough time right now Because of the weight that I've lost but they're starting to recover And I really believe that this organic hemp seed oil is one of the reasons that that's really getting stronger And it's really helping them a lot and you just put a couple drops on each cuticle and rub them every night And what that's gonna do is bring the blood up there blood supply to anywhere your hair your nails Anywhere is going to promote growth. So that's why I love those. Okay, let's step over into hair care I as you guys know had lost the weight and when you have weight loss, it doesn't matter what you do You will lose some hair because it's just one of the things that the body does not consider as Important as taking care of your internal organs and making sure those are okay, which is a good thing but it's a tough thing to watch all your hair come out in clumps and So what I do is several different things to try and stimulate the scalp I do take a hair skin and nails formula, which I will list below and I also do take a collagen formula Which I will list below I've mentioned those in several videos and I will go ahead and link those below They really do help my hair grow faster and longer and keep the health of it really good from the roots all the way out So this one though is a stimulating shampoo that I found from Ravita So I do use a purple toning shampoo and a regular shampoo first Because this says to do this twice and the reason is is to get all the build-up and hairspray and you know Dry shampoo whatever you have in your hair that really needs to be taken off So that this can touch the scalp and the actual follicles of the hair And so and then you go in and then I go in with this and it is lovely Lovely formula as far as being able to suds it up and really massage it into your hair And it says that you're supposed to leave it on for five minutes, which I do But I like to take about two of those minutes three of those minutes And I am really massaging my hair because again massage helps to stimulate blood circulation Which always helps cellular turnover cellular growth all those kinds of good things make sure that I do cleanse my scalp Before I use it so that I can get the full effect of this being the hair stimulating or the growth stimulating also as far as growth Stimulating every single night without fail. I use my extra strength minoxidil. This one is from Kirkland I talked about this over and over again And you just fill it up put the droplets down there on your scalp and then give your scalp a good massage Now I will tell you that if you don't wash your hair like every other day Then this will make your hair greasy at some point What I usually do with it is I usually try to use it the morning before I shampoo Let it set on about an hour if I have that kind of time then use the you know shampoo go through everything Skip that night because I've used the growth stimulating shampoo And then the following night I will use this and I get up and wash my hair again And I always notice when I'm using the minoxidil that I always have baby hairs that are growing in And little you know hairs that are about this long starting when I go through a big shed Like I just have and I've really noticed that that is happening on this side of my hair And I love that that is happening. So this is something that I've been using for almost two years now I will not be without it. Yes, you do have to continue to use it Or you will lose the hair that has it has helped grow But it's not a big deal to me because it's not super expensive And this will last me one of these will last me about a couple months And then I go on to another one and I get them in a three pack This little doohickey right here I caught recently as an amazon find or an amazon haul And this is like a scalp stimulating silicone brush, which I really do like So on those nights that I'm not using the minoxidil like I don't want to have greasy hair the next morning I'll go ahead and I'll still stimulate my scalp with this. It's a really great way to do that It is a little bit more stiff So it's one of those ones that you will feel like you might be scraping your head too much Don't do that just kind of you know massage with it But it's a great little handheld tool that I really love and I use almost every night And this is the year that I really discovered l'ange. I guess that's how you say it Lunge or something like that Anyway, this is their dry shampoo. Love this product. You guys know what dry shampoo is for And then this is the thicket cream and I feel like this has made the biggest difference for me As far as helping me to build up and feel like I have thick hair after every wash The thicket cream I use a very tiny amount. I'm talking maybe a dime size amount Maybe less, you know work it in between my hands really quickly and then just spread it all through my hair The length of my hair I don't want to get this too close to the roots because it will have a tendency to weigh that down up there But everywhere else it just builds great body also from them I have a root booster so on the days when I really want my hair to look extra special I spray this in there and just you know go about drying my hair afterwards and it gives a ton of volume to These are really good products that I would recommend to anybody. They have been ones that I have thoroughly enjoyed Using throughout this whole year. I'm going to talk about a couple of my tried and trues Which is the thermal styling spray from kenra. This is number 19. This helps Keep your style in because you use it on dry hair But it also gives a thermal protectant as you're doing that So I will spray it all over my hair then brush my hair out Then go ahead and use it and I know that it's working because it helps keep my curl in Especially if you're doing more curly days instead of just straight days And then also from kenra. I love their blow dry spray This has been such a good product for me for shine And again for the help the help with the thermal protectant anytime you're using any sort of heat on your hair Even if you're using a blow dryer on a warm setting you want to have a thermal protectant This one helps, but I love how good it makes my how much shine it gives my hair. I'm sorry I just spray one spray across my hand rub my hands together and I'll put it all over And then go ahead and dry my hair and wow it just gives a beautiful shine to your hair Also, it's a tan is another leave-in treatment. I really protect my hair you guys I really do because I feel like you know when as you get older your hair changes You just have a lot of those needs that you might not have when you were younger But yes, I do use this every single time. This is the first product that I'll go in with I'll comb my hair through then I'll go in with the thicket product from Laange and then I'll go in with the blow dry spray the thermal one And then I will after my hair is dry use this one So really do love those and then also I cannot have a hair care video without mentioning these two I've mentioned this so many times through the year because this was a find for me this year This is from ogx. It's the botifying bit Bodifying bamboo fiber full big hair spray This is so good and I've been using it in place of my tried and true love of all time Which is the kenra volume spray 25 I've used this for years and years and years But now that I've found this and it's a little bit cheaper If I'm just wanting a daily look where I'm not you know doing anything too too special I'll use this I would say as far as hold they're very very comparable You know very good hold hold you all day this one right here From kenra does a little bit better in the humidity But they both have really the same properties and the thing is is if you like a very soft hair spray You might not like either one of those because these are mega hold hair sprays They don't make your hair super crunchy, but you will know that you have hair spray in your hair Just so you guys know I'm going to start out the skincare with my wash rags and the reason is is because I adore these things these things are wash rags that I will not be without as far as my facial wash rags These are microfiber cloths They come in that package of five They take off all of your makeup So even though most of us have the feeling that we need to do a double cleanse I can actually do a single cleanse rinse this out and go back over my face and get the rest of the makeup off without using Any more product you will love it So definitely wanted to start off my skincare part with that and then when we're talking about taking off our makeup I have this big daddy a purity made simple. It's one of my very favorite cleansers I buy it like this because I can almost use this for like a whole year or longer And it just it never runs out for me and I use it morning and night and I absolutely love this stuff I feel like it takes off all of my makeup, but I don't feel like my skin is stripped It's such a nice clean product and I I was wanting to tell you on all those hair care where they smelled or not This one smells kind of like a little bit citrusy not a majorly over Fragranced item, but it does have that little tiny bit of citrus smell in it So, you know most of those hair care products will have fragrance in it hair care is one that people Put a lot of fragrance in it So unless it says fragrance free most of those hair care items will have that in there and then This one is my tried and true take off every drop of your Waterproof mascara. This is from hyalumide and this is their high efficiency face cleanser Face cleanser. I don't use it for my face I find that it's a little bit too oily to use on my face and since I don't do a double cleanse with those wash rags I just use this on my eyes to really start the process of getting all of that waterproof I make up off It just you will not believe how quickly your makeup comes off between this and the rags It's just it's great. So I enjoy a chemical exfoliant and I enjoy physical exfoliants And I know that there is arguments on both sides of that which one's better Which one isn't that kind of thing, but I use both of them So my chemical exfoliant that I've been using all year is the glycolic acid 7 toning solution. I love this stuff You guys it's very inexpensive. It's got a really great ph That sits on your skin and does exactly what it's supposed to And it just sluffs off the dead skin very gently without feeling like your face is being ripped off by something So I really do like it and I would recommend it because it has really kept my face glowing and pretty all year And then my chemical one. I was using the olay two step microdermabrasion kit That had I think it was black and red. This one is their vitamin c one I believe that they have discontinued the other one But this is an ahp l activator and then this is the mask the vitamin c mask so this has granules in it and This does have a very slight like orange juice smell It's not overwhelming to me But it's in there and I want you guys to know that it is a very granular Product grainy product. So you're not going to want to rub it on your skin You're just going to kind of want to coat your skin and then when you put the ahp Part on of the mask then you're going to get a foaming action And it's going to warm up a little bit and it's going to take all those granules And it's going to kind of dissolve them and you get that whole Mask situation where you're taking off all the dead skin. I love this two step program And these will actually last me for about four to six months because I don't do this all the time I maybe do this once a week. So love that product from the ordinary is the buffet serum that I have been using for years I love this. It has lots of peptides in it. It has matrixle serum in it It has lots of things in it that are really really good for your skin And I just find that every time I Venture out into something else I come right back to the buffet because I just feel like it's a really good formula It's one that I've been recommending for a very long time And then in the morning as kind of a two step product or kind of layering on top of each other I've been using the hot a labo kind of lightning essence And then I'll use the sukiyaki suhata urea moisture lotion. Both of these are very watery products You can't see that in here. Both of them are very watery product But you know what I use this is my moisturizer every morning under makeup because it is so light But it is so moisturizing And it doesn't interfere with any of the makeup that I put on it actually makes everything It just lay down so pretty because there's hyper hydration in there Without having a actual layer of cream. So I absolutely love that in the morning as my last step This is the year of my lashes. I feel like 2019 was Because my lashes were the thing that I was able to just maintain and they were going just gangbusters And it's because of this serum right here. It's called x lash. I was sent it originally I have since repurchased this three times in the big tube. They sent me the smaller one I will make sure that I link those prices below and the amounts But you use this once a night. You don't have to worry about it in the morning And it has made a gargantuan difference in my eyelashes I mean, honestly, you guys I couldn't ask for anything better people ask me if I'm wearing falsies And I don't I could not do a falsie with my hands and the palsy that's in there if I wanted to So this has just been a lifesaver for me and making my lashes very long very thick They grow and they're just they're wonderful and I do want to say this I say this every time I mentioned this serum you will not see results for the first about four weeks And then after that you're going to start to see results and you're going to go I like this stuff and you're going to go I got lashes and you're just going to love it you guys It's really a beautiful product my retin A. This is my tube that I'm going through. This is the 0.05 When I was down in Mexico, I actually did pick up quite a few of these So I use this every other night sometimes every night on places that I have super wrinkles like my forehead And my neck so this is something that I'm never going to be without. I absolutely love it You can get this in the states without a prescription From out of the country mail in and that's where I normally have gotten it But I will make sure I link that below for you guys So you know that and I do have several videos on this if you guys would like an updated retin A video from me, then I'll definitely do that But I just this is a miracle worker for me It has changed my skin so much as far as texture and taking care of some of the fine lines Absolutely has changed as far as the dark spots. I can't believe how much my dark spot My dark spots have faded to where I just have a few that I really target with this but Wow, you guys retin A is something that I feel like has been a total game changer in my skincare in the Almost four years that I've been using it. I do want to mention this is from thank you farmer And this is the miracle age repair toner I love this. It is also a very brightening serum. Um, it's not a toner. It's more of a Lotion type so when you guys get it just so you know, it is thick It does work in very quickly and sink in very quickly to the skin you guys It does have quite a strong fragrance again I want to mention that to you because I know I have had some people get this and then be disappointed Because it did have the fragrance in it. But this is an anti aging Toner and the brightening toner. So I I've almost used this whole bottle up And I've just noticed kind of more along the lines of it brightening than anything as far as anti aging I think that things have gotten so much better As far as using these stacked on each other type things where I use Different things at different nights. So I won't always use each serum or each toner every single night I tend to stick to the same thing in the mornings, but this one is one that I kind of alternate through I know that you guys are going to ask me about a vitamin c product I have been using the pixie skin treats vitamin c tonic I really really like this symphony that sinks into the skin It doesn't seem to create extra layers on my mature skin And even though I love this one you guys I'm going to be trying some other vitamin c's here really quickly and again, you guys This has the little bit of the orange smell or the citrus smell to it So I want to make sure I tell you about that too, but I do feel like this is a really good vitamin c product for the price It's only like $15 for this. All right guys coming to the home stretch is my sukiyakasuhara urea eye cream This is not one that I will ever negotiate with in my skincare If you've watched me for very long This has been in my skincare routine for two years because I have very dry very creepy under eyes and this urea cream Is so moisturizing now when I say urea I'm going to have a few of you say isn't urea a byproduct of urine. Yes, it is However, this urea is manufactured in a lab and made to mimic that But it's definitely a synthetic product. It's not a natural urea product But the hydration on this also there is a little tiny bit of a factor of exfoliating And the fact that you can put this up underneath your eyes and on top of your eyes And it have that tiny bit of exfoliating where you're getting a little bit of cellular turnover to me is fantastic I might mention another eye serum here and there, but I never ever mentioned another eye cream Because I simply don't need to this is just the one that works the best and you guys I don't have fillers. I don't have anything like that So the fact that I have these really really big lines right here and that it affects my Concealer under here and that I get lines under there and this can help with that is to me nothing short Of a small triumph in my day So I will continue to use that other urea product that I'm going to mention to you is the actual cream This one I feel like after I get all of my skincare done at night and everything is hyper Moisturized and it feels so good and I live in a super dry climate with dry heat coming from the ceiling This one I feel like I can put it on very very small amount This a little tiny bit of this goes a long way Very small amount and it locks in all that moisture for the whole entire night The last thing I'm going to talk about is sunscreen what I love is the misha Sunscreen that I have and this is their milk essence or something like that Super light super airy. I'm almost out of this. I need to order another one, but you guys it is so So light sinks into the skin like a dream And I think part of that is because it does have some alcohol in it you guys But you know how sometimes when you put your makeup on and you have sunscreen on and your sunscreen will Mess with your makeup because it's just a little bit too oily You don't get any of that with this and I don't find that it drives me out I know that it does have the alcohol in it, but it doesn't Have a tendency to dry me out. So I would very much recommend this I use it all over my face neck and chest every single day Love this stuff now for my hands and my arms when they're exposed I go in with this one and this is the australian gold mineral lotion non-greasy And I should have told you that this is a 50 spf and so is this one from the australian gold It's a 50 spf by the way that misha sunscreen It doesn't have any smell that I can really tell on it too bad This one is tinted and it has a thicker consistency to it But I like that because the back of my hands get really dry and plus I have a little bit of You know age spots and whatnot on there and it just kind of evens them out a little bit I know I wash my hands and it's going to come off But I do enjoy having this it's very moisturizing and I really like it I don't like it for my my face again because it is a little bit too oily for me And it just seems to be one of those products that I go Do I really want to put this on my face and have it disturb my makeup? Well, no, so I reach for the misha instead of this one But yes, those are my two sunscreens for face and arms and hands I hope that you guys have been enjoying these videos where I bring you the best of 2019 Some of these products in here are products that I did discover, but most of them I'm not going to share New products with you just for sharing new products because if I found something like the urea products that have worked Fantastic for me If it ain't broke don't fix it and that is really how I feel about all of these things Don't forget to share with me some of your hair skin and nail favorites I always love hearing products from you guys If there was something that just stands out to you that you can't be without That makes me happy to go and be able to try that.
