 All right, you guys so as promised this is number two in my monthly favorites I didn't want to make a video that was 45 minutes long, so I split these apart This is more about the things that don't fit into the makeup and skincare category Little bit of lifestyle a little bit of fashion that kind of stuff So we're gonna get right into this but if you're new to my channel I would love to have you here as a part of the YouTube family that we're building Great bunch of people here and so supportive of each other and I think that you would really enjoy it The other thing is please give this video a thumbs up if you wouldn't mind I do appreciate you appreciate it when you do that It helps me generate my video out there into YouTube land so that more people can take advantage of our channel So let's get into what I found as far as lifestyle favorite. Okay, so the first thing I got off of Amazon I was in my purse one day trying to put a lipstick on and I'm like do I really not have any sort of a mirror in here with all the makeup that I carry around it's usually just touch-up makeup and Lipstick and I usually just don't have a mirror So I was like I need a mirror in my purse and I need it now So what I love about this little mirror is it does have the one times and then the two time magnifying in here but it also has a light in here and the other thing that is great about the light is that This doesn't have to have batteries in it It does have a port on this side right here where you can just recharge it It's rechargeable, which I just I love that everybody's doing that now because who wants to go out and buy batteries I mean, we're not one we don't have to anymore, right? So love that. Okay Inside this bag I'm like a weirdo inside this bag. Okay. These are a little Fingernail swatch clips and what you do is you paint them with your fingernail polish And then you clip it on your fingernail polish so that you can see have you ever Gotten fingernail polishes and put them on and they're like totally different than what looks like in this bottle right here Problem solved. Marnie Miss gold girl. She was the one that suggested these I had to have them immediately They come in a pack like this of a hundred and you just clip them on there and I think they are fantastic Brilliant idea. I put them on all of my polishes But of course you guys know that I am a Zoya Polish lover and Zoya did their beginning of the years that well they did their Christmas sale And then they did this beginning of the year sale So this color right here is kind of a rosy with a little bit of a sheen on there And this one is called Mary Ann so pretty you can see it right there And then this one right here is the one I have on today and this one is called a vet That's the one I have on just think that one is gorgeous And then this one right here is called Haruka Haruko. I hope that's how you say that Anyway, this one is one that when you put it on that's five coats on there You guys I mean who's gonna put five coats of fingernail polish onto their fingernails. I know I'm not so this one can Be used as a topper or you can build it up to be the actual color that is inside the bottle So I love Zoya nail polishes and I love that they have so many sales Please get on their email list follow them on Instagram They have all the notifications of what they're doing on Instagram all the time sometimes I catch it through my email Sometimes I catch it through you know Instagram But either way they have some of the most fantastic sales I've ever seen and I do know that come spring I believe it's sometime around in April They have this program where you get free nail polishes for turning in your old nail polishes that were crap. I Do this every year and I love it. So check into those. All right, you guys huge lifestyle favorite for me are these boots These are black boots. They have a zipper on the back They do have quite a nice heel on them, but it's a block heel. Look how cute the buckle is on the other side So you got the zipper on the back and then you have all of these little things that you can see through So you see a little skin through there, which I think is so cute, but I love these buckles I've been wearing these with longer skirts and I just think these are so much fun And I also have worn them with leggings and tights too So you can wear them with all kinds of things really But I just love wearing them with skirts because they're like a little bit dressier without going all the way up your Calf and I have a little bit thicker calf. So that's always and fun thing I can usually wear like a three-quarter boot or even, you know, halfway boot up my up my calf So these are really fun I've been enjoying my booties this year and I've been enjoying being able to wear a little bit of a heel this year too Because I haven't done so for such a long time. Okay, this adorable little purse was sent to me by a handbag company and I will make sure that I link down below who they are and I do have a discount code. I believe so that you can get this but this is such a cute purse So I I can fit, you know, like my wallet my cell phone a little bit of makeup in here and a couple other things But I I find that I don't I'm not able to like jam-pack this full of stuff because then it doesn't really look as cute It doesn't you know hold as much so it is a smaller purse I hope that you guys can see how small it is It does have the the handle that goes across you and then it has the two handles here, which I think are so cute It has the pewter design and then everything is Piped in in black so the leather or the faux leather or whatever it is is got the black detailing on there And then inside it does have three pockets And it has your cell phone pocket in here And then it has the other pocket that is the zipper pocket and then on the back It has another zipper pocket So if you're somebody that doesn't like to carry around big purses I don't because I have shoulder problems and it can make my shoulder and neck hurt if I'm carrying too much weight Which I have a tendency to do when I carry around a big purse So this purse has just been so much fun for me And it has the riveting details all the way across it in the pewter or the that's not pewter what a gun Metal excuse me So I think that if you're somebody that likes a smaller purse that you may really like this and it doesn't break The bank either as far as a purse goes. Oh and one more thing you guys I did want to tell you because so many of you asked about my necklace last time I was on here This necklace is really cute. It has little hearts dangling from the lariat right here and then you kind of Thread it through here and it is a little bit shorter. It's almost kind of like a choker more than anything But I think it's so cute You can kind of cinch it up a little bit if you want that more of effect And you would if you needed to make it longer you might need to buy one of those extenders But I've just been loving it and I love how it sparkles and according to what I saw on amazon It's supposed to be 925 silver. There is a stamp on here that says 925 So I'm hoping so and it was very very affordable So love that necklace and I wanted to mention it to you guys because in my last couple videos You were saying that you really like the necklace So I just wanted to make sure I told you about it And then one more lifestyle favorite that is a completely random thing you guys is this This looks like it should be something that you play with the dogs that with out there outside This goes in your microwave. It's a cover for anything you put in there So it doesn't splatter all over your microwave and get your microwave all messy But what's really cool about it is this right here is magnetic So you can pick it up and put it on the roof Of your microwave without having to take it out every single time and then cover yourself So it's up on the roof you put your your food in there and then you just drop it down onto your food Covers your food it keeps everything vented because it has these vents that are right here And it's super easy to clean. I just when I was cleaning this this morning I actually just took a little soap and water and cleaned it up and it did really good And no the magnets won't interfere with your microwave at all. I've been using this for Well over two months now and have been absolutely loving it. So keep your microwave clean and use this Okay, one more thing. I mentioned this not too long ago in A random amazon loves and I'm gonna mention it again because if you follow me on instagram or facebook you know that I have been in and out of doctors and hospitals with my mom recently and Might not be able to find a port you might not have a plug-in thing with you whatever Well, this little thing is a charger It does come with the little wire that comes that goes into your phone and it then into this So you have that but this will keep my phone charged. I mean if my phone's like dead This will keep my phone charged for another four hours if it's charged up itself And it just saved me while I was in there waiting for my mom and I absolutely love having it I keep it in my purse. It comes in this cute little mesh sack And I just throw it in there. It doesn't get damaged by anything and I really like it So would highly recommend one of those now into the fails for me for the month I had quite a few you guys. Okay, let's start out with drugstore fails from elves. These are they're seriously satin lipsticks and There's just no color here and that's the part that was really kind of irritating to me If they're gonna say satin, I understand that they'll have a little bit of sheen to them But all sheen and they just weren't comfortable. They wore off really quickly So I would say if you've seen those and you've been wanting to try and pass on them The putty primer for the eyes that they just came out with this is one of the most stiff products I think I've ever used it is white very white And but in rubbing it across my eyes It feels like chalk And I don't like tugging across my eyelids because I already have enough of a problem with wrinkling and stuff Crappiness on the top of my eyelids. So this is a hard pass for me I just couldn't get on board with it. And then I tried the Revlon candid glow I like the original Revlon candid one, but the glow one there is no coverage here whatsoever So if you are wanting a foundation that even gives you like Sheer medium buildable, this isn't it So I actually put two coats of this on and then had to go back in with another foundation even after that So I would say steer clear of that and if you need a you know more coverage foundation And then the screen queen from Milani, unfortunately guys same thing with this I'm not even going to do wear tests on these because for one thing I just felt like If I'm going to do my makeup and take the trouble of doing my makeup I want to at least look finished and I don't feel like either one of these gives a finish And this one does say that it's sheer coverage on it So if you're somebody that likes sheer coverage, you might really like this This is it says natural finish foundation I don't it might be a natural finish But I couldn't tell that there was a finish at all because I felt like it was just way too sheer And it couldn't be built on so I'm disappointed in that But you know what the other foundation from Milani is so matte That I feel like if you fixed it if you mixed this in with the other one You might have a really good foundation you might get one that is just perfect for dry mature skin So I might even try that one and see how that one works I feel like a chemist half the time when I'm doing these things I just feel like I really need to be out there in The labs creating something good for the mature woman And then I also got in my boxy charm. This is the watermelon glow sleeping mask from glow recipe You guys this is just more more along the lines of being of being a hyaluronic acid product With watermelon scent in it and it was really really strong on the scent too Don't mind the scent if I was eating a jolly rancher But I don't want to put that much fragrance on my skin in my skincare So it I put two coats of it on and still felt like my skin was getting tight and dry So that is one that just didn't work out for me at all Oh, and I wanted to definitely tell you guys about this good molecules wake up ice serum Okay, this is a good and a bad and I'll tell you why if you have bags underneath your Underneath your eyes and you know the puffy bags that people get this might be really good for you But because my under eyes are so dry and crepey That it just dried them out even more, but that's the technology behind it I'm sure it has caffeine in it and you have those bags. It's going to help to Um dehydrate those bags So if you have those you might really enjoy this product But I found that part way through the day my concealer looked terrible and my makeup even down here looked terrible Because this product was drying my eyes out so much and I have such dry under eyes anyway So this one was a no go for me and then also a no go was the biore uzi aqua It's got the spf of 50, which is really great, but again dried me out like no other So i'm going to be using this up on maybe my arms or you know somewhere else I'm not going to be using this on my face because I was noticing again My makeup was looking so bad because all the moisture had just been sucked out of it And I can't have that at all now I am going to get a lot of flak from this, but Here they are you guys from toddy beauty I wanted to get these test them out see what all the hype was all about because so many people were saying how wonderful they were and how Great they were for applying foundation powder. I've seen people put on every bit of their makeup with their eye makeup everything I think that they're okay. I think that they're fine. I think that they apply makeup just fine I don't think it was my best makeup day ever. You know, I don't think it was my best, you know Application I'm so used to brushes and the beauty sponge That this was a little bit hard to get used to but it reminded me of the puffs that we used to get just in our compacts It really reminded me of that and then if you if you watched gen loves reviews She did one half of her face with the compact spent a little round Compact puffs that we got and the other half with this and she Showed us the after and it didn't look any different So a little bit disappointed in that. I don't feel like it perfected my skin any better than any other way that I apply it My preferred way is a beauty sponge. I seem to get a lot more hydration from that And a lot more of a very soft even skin tone putting my foundation on then with this So these don't hate me But I didn't I didn't like these so much that I could just say you guys need to run out and get them So just my thoughts on it you guys just one woman's opinion if you like it I'm so glad that you do but that was just my my personal feeling about it That's it for today's video Hope that you do enjoy these kinds of videos where I show you the good the bad and the in between Give it a thumbs up if you did before you head on out of here Don't forget to in the comment section below Tell me any good or bad makeup that you've tried this month And if any of these products are products that you've tried maybe some of my fails were some of your favorites And I love to hear that too. Sometimes that makes me go back and try a product over again Just to make sure that I wasn't being weird that day. Thank you so much for being a part of my youtube family Hope everybody is happy and healthy. I will see you all in my very next video. Love you. Bye. Bye
