 Hey guys so I'm filming this in my bathroom. I am not too sure how this is going to come out but I'm going to give it a try and if it works good maybe I'll you know I'll venture forth and do some other bathroom videos like get ready with me or something but I'm really super excited about this one product that I got. Now let me just backfill for those of you that are new to my channel. I have extremely thin hair and my hair has been thinning more over the course of time as I've gotten older and the thinning is sort of like in the front in the part area and I've always been embarrassed because like the wind blows or whatever and your hair you know it's like you can really see some of the thinning spots so I recently got approved from the Octolii website to do product reviews which I'm super excited about that opportunity and I really owe it all to you my subscribers and my viewers because to get approved from Octolii your video does have to have a thousand views and and consistently and so you know I finally got approved so thank you all so much and one of the like about the Octolii website is you could actually choose some of the products that you have a major interest in reviewing and one of the things that I've had an interest in reviewing is the top pick now I got mine in light brown so I submitted to Octolii to review this and of course the brand also has to approve you which they did and so they sent me this free for me to review my honest opinion so I have thinning hair many of you know that if you've been watching my channel you know I've talked about thinning hair I've done a lot of wig reviews I've done a lot of things of that nature so I have very thinning hair and my thinning hair is you know in the front and I'm going to try you don't know you know how much of this you're going to see I'm just going to try to show you some of my you know my hair has been washed but it really hasn't been styled so I'm not too sure how much of this you're going to get to to really see that good in the video but especially near the bang area I have two cowlicks is that what you call them and I have a widow's peak and a cowlick in the back so my hair never sits right but this topic has really intrigued me viewers I've seen other folks review this and they have thick hair and I kept thinking well you know it looks beautiful with their thick hair but how is it going to look with my thinning hair is it going to add fibers what is it going to do what you do is you you open it up and it's a sprinkle sprinkle like this and they say you sprinkle it by your part area which I'm going to do or the area wherever your hair is light so I want you to get a good look at what this looks like now fleekies so it's probably hard to see because in reality the light the it's the part it's this area right here that's bad so that's the area I'm going to start with now I'm going to sprinkle it it says to sprinkle it along those areas that you don't want the part to show as much so I just sprinkled it out I'm sorry I have to look in the mirror so and I haven't really gone into the back because I have my fake little bun thing up there but I can almost see what almost looks to me like like I have thicker hair than normal so you know here where I spread where I sprinkled it I don't know if you guys can see it I don't know if the camera is picking it up but where I sprinkled it all near my my part area here it really looks good I think I think it looks good and leave you the full description of this product hair building fibers so I'm not seeing any kind of you know it's probably these little tiny fibers are darkening my scalp slightly so that you don't see the thin spots because my thin spots the really bad thin spots are all right here this is where you know where I'm really super super conscious so I could actually wear my hair up totally off my forehead without it looking like I have like a a bald spot here what do you think I think I can you know make you know probably wear my bun up of course it would take some a little bit more creative a creative look but I think I can do that I think I can get away with it so I and I haven't even like teased this if I was going to tease my hair which I normally would I would tease it up you know I would normally give it a little tease then I would I also have the hut steps 22 that I use a lot but I really like the style and shake this gives me a lot of texture I'll spray this on my hair and my hairdresser asked me to try the Redken quick 15 tees so when I went I had my haircut last week she gave me this to take home she had been using it she just wanted me to try it and see what I thought so I've tried it a few times and I haven't reported back to her but I tell you I think I really like my shake my hair shake my jay joko joko hair shake that she gives me or I should say gives me I buy better than the tease but this is a winner this is a keeper for me I I can I tell you how pleased I am I know it's an illusion it's not like it's really giving me thick hair or really giving me full hair or anything of that nature so it's a pure illusion but I'll tell you I really like it and even though this was sent to me free I know I can buy this at Sally's I can buy this on Amazon Amazon I can buy it pretty well anywhere I will tell you I am going to buy it because gosh gosh gosh those are my thin areas and they don't look thin whatsoever so I kind of I kind of flutter around with the top a little bit but I didn't even have to sprinkle any more of this I think my hair looks absolutely fine the way it is and I have my two little buns my hair is still too short to to keep it up easy so I have to use a lot of pins so I'm going to just show you the back a little bit better so one of these days my hair will be long enough that I can actually twist it up into the ponytail without losing a ton you know having a ton of it fall out the other thing I wanted to to mention to you is that um I had um yeah it was really good on Black Friday as most of you know from my previous vlog I didn't buy anything on Black Friday and that was because I had placed a Sephora order and I had also placed a timeless skincare order when I spent a lot of money on timeless and I'll show you that when it comes in but in my Sephora order I had bit the bullet and I had bought myself the vise art vise art amethyst palette and um I will tell you I mean according to the color charts purples are not supposed to be what I'm supposed to be you know wearing but I have always always always gravitated towards the the purples and these colors and I absolutely love them so I bit the bullet and I got this palette and I absolutely loved it I um also because I wanted to have more of a neutral look at times and maybe stay away from the purples a little bit I ended up buying the champagne it was on back order as was my amethyst but it came in really quick and these are the colors of the champagne now on this palette I debated between the champagne and the minks because the minks sounded really good too but on this palette I really love how these eyeshadows blend on my eyes I really really do I think they they they're really awesome they they're there's so much the fallout is like almost zero compared to some of the other eyeshadows I've used so what I ended up doing because I can't seem to get both my eyes to look the same as they are not looking the same right now um I ended up as watching uh Tammy from Uppies Beads and and I asked her a question and she said to me what I should do is take a a shadow color and put it all over sort of as a base and then you can also do a primer and then apply my shadow so I actually tried that today and I used this palette so what I did is I took the the lighter shade and I put it all over my eyelid as my base then I put a little bit of an eyelid primer on top of that let it dry and then I went in with the the medium brown right here which is very pigmented for me anyways for someone like me it had a lot of pigment I don't know if this is going to show at all so for me this yeah this this for me is a lot guys for you it might be like she's crazy but for me it was a lot so I went into the outer V area and then into the crease with my brush and I tried to blend that in a little bit and they're not even but I actually think I blended it better than I've done in the past so thank you for that tip to Tammy on link her channel I'm sure you all know who exactly she is but I'll link it anyways but I really like this you've got the three satins and then you've got the I mean the three I don't know mattes creams and then you've got the satins or the shimmers on the other side so I really thought this was beautiful and that was my my indulgence on on those eyeshadows so now I am the proud owner of two vizier I can figure out how to say that shadows they're not cheap guys so that's it for me I'm not buying another another eyeshadow no matter what but yeah so I love a love those shadows I think the sun's coming in now in the back here so this might not be a great filming spot once the sun goes on that side of the house which is now happening but on another note I did want to just thank you all so much again because your support means a lot to me and I appreciate every single one of you watching the videos I did want to say that on my vlog video I kind of ended that video some some people picked up on it I kind of ended that video on um there was like just a funky ending um what had happened on Thanksgiving day and we came home and around 1 30 in the morning Friday morning my dad had taken a bad fall and he couldn't get up so they called me I lived maybe five minutes away from my folks they called me and left a message um then they called my cell phone and left a message and didn't hear anything back and then my mom went on facebook and she sent me a direct message saying that papa had fallen and could I come help and then didn't hear anything back then she went to wear one of my albums my Thanksgiving album was and she left a message under one of the pictures asking me if I was coming I didn't get the message until about four o'clock 4 30 in the morning and it's heartbreaking to think that my parents needed me and I'm not trying to I'm trying not to beat myself up because I know I can't but it's heartbreaking to think that my parents needed me and it wasn't there for them so life can definitely change in a heartbeat it really really can so if you could all fear a prayer for my dad I know he's going to be okay he's got some health issues this last year but the fall cost him five ribs he's got five broken ribs and between his bone condition that he has um the five broken ribs is not a good thing so if he could spare my prayer I would truly appreciate it and I'm sorry if I kind of abruptly ended that last video in such a downer but um yeah so thank you thank you all so much for being there I truly appreciate you all
