 Hey guys, it's Monica. It is that time of the month again Have to say that it's that time of the month again for empties I'm being silly, you know, I I have this PR company that keeps reaching out to me and You know, I Don't know how to say it. I get a lot of offers Some of them are really weird And some of them are really cool like I'm really excited about a couple of things that get coming in But this is when PR company keeps reaching out to me and they want me to try these undies that are period proof And I said to them, you know, I try to be polite. I'm going, you know, and I'm 67 It's been a while since I've had to worry about that And then I don't hear back, right? Then I get another email from them saying, oh, we think you'd be perfect for our You know period-proof underwear. I'm like, oh, so then I delete it and And I swear I must have had like about maybe eight emails from these from this company and It's like seriously, you know, how am I gonna touch this? like thinking How to pee, I don't know Maybe I need to do depends on something But if you're curious about my empties and some things that I bought Stay tuned Okay, I don't have a whole lot of empties to be very honest with you, but I will we'll talk to you about some of them One of them talking about period-proof stuff is I do like to have different body washes, especially for the more intimate parts of my body and I have a brand that I buy over and over again However, I decided I was gonna try and I've tried Summer's Eve before so I tried some of Summer's Eve. This is a low a low love a low love Summer's Eve and I liked it. It was pretty reasonable. I ended up getting this in Walmart. It was pretty reasonable I probably would buy it again. It's not as nice as my all-time favorite but I probably would definitely buy it again and my all-time favorite for those of you that don't know and I don't have it here in front of me to to show it to you is Sweet spot and I like the vanilla blossom and you can actually buy it in Alta now So you don't always have to buy it online, but that's my all-time favorite, but the Summer's Eve wasn't bad I actually liked it. I probably would buy it again. Probably try it a different You know, maybe a different Fragrance not that I had a fragrance. I didn't really have a fragrance But it actually felt very refreshing and I really liked it. So this definitely is a repurchase. I Used up my magic root cover-up from L'Oreal and this is sort of a temporary Color cover-up, right? It's not not like a dye or anything like that, but this is in dark blonde I have a body in medium blonde and dark blonde and light blonde So I bought it again and what I do on my own hair is if the gray because my my own hair is a lot thinner than You know if I wear something like this. This is my my very favorite upstage by Raquel Welch And this is like in a fully hand-tied cap. I love it. This is shade of cappuccino Anyways, when I have my own hair and I you know, I don't always wear wigs and I don't always wear toppers So oftentimes I wear my own hair and I spray the roots a little bit with this and I love this I've actually used this dark blonde to darken some of my toppers and It does come out. It's a temporary, right? It comes out in the wash But I've actually used this and I really really like this. So I've replaced it. I currently have four cans going a brown Dark blonde and I bought another medium blonde and a light blonde. So I've got like four of these cans If you catch the Sun sale, it's a really good buy It's under $10 usually and it to me it works really well I my hairdresser has a way more expensive one that I've not tried, but I said, you know what this works really well So why so I use it on my bio hair. I've used it on some toppers and It just kind of gives you especially if you have like you want more dimension So I love this stuff. This is definitely a repeat buy for me over and over again The the other thing is my mascara. I I would have to say that hands down The essence lash princess the black purple one has been my favorite mascara to date It has replaced my it is cosmetics. I love the it cosmetics superhero. That would be my high-end This is my drugstore. I did recently purchase and this so this is empty I've repurchased it. I have it on today. I have a combination of that on today and I have wanted to try their curl and hold so this is essence curl and hold and This is what I have on as well So I have combination of two mascara on my eyes essence curl and hold and my lash princess on top of it I think I mean this this seemed really nice when I put it on my naked lashes I thought wow, this is actually pretty good, but I just I just get better results with my lash princess So I'm liking this. I probably won't buy it again, but I'm liking it It's not bad, especially if you have short straight lashes and you want a little bit of a curl I think it's pretty cool. And so in combination with my last lash princess. It worked really well One thing that I am trashing and not finishing out. I bought this quite a while ago, and this is from elf my glasses on This is from elf and this is their brown sugar, and this is a lip scrub From elf lip scrub, and I like elf. I mean elf has a lot of you know products that I really like You know that I've used and but this This is no go. I'm not even going to finish this every time I put this on my lips The it is a scrub. I guess that's what it's supposed to do, but every time I put this on my lips It hurts my lips. I I just feel it from my lips. Maybe my lips are sensitive I don't know, but this hurts my lips. So Trashing it and saying goodbye Lumify love my lumify, especially with my dry eye situation. So love this got a replacement already. I buy that I don't use it every day, but I probably use it like maybe three or four times a week depending on on how my eyes look I use my all-over Lid color when I'm applying my eye shadow my all-over lid color is Cream brulee and I use the wet and wild now wet and wild has two versions of the cream brulee and of the brulee and I prefer the cream brulee, which is the hardest one to find last time I got I had to get it on eBay As opposed to the brulee the brulee for me is Too powdery and but I love this all-over lid color. It neutralizes my lid my lids I it's like my prep before I put my eye shadow on but the brulee is Different than the cream brulee. They're the same color. They give me the same, you know Look except one I wear a lot of my cheeks and have to brush it off and the cream brulee just goes on so much better So much smoother the same price, but I got mine in Amazon So I've been using the brulee if I can help it. I will never buy it again if I can help it This past week It's been kind of a crazy crazy time frame. Jay and I went away and Now we didn't go away. We did a day trip We had to go to a memorial service and we went up north and then we went we'll bike shopping We're looking for bikes. So we had it. We had a crazy week. I went to the dentist. It was nutty. Well on the day I went to the dentist in Merrimack. I Decided that the the dentist visit was way more painful than I expected so I was going to go visit my brother afterwards and bring my brother some some money that I wanted to give him and Then I was going to go to the outlets in Merrimack And the reason I go to the outlets in Merrimack is that they have a cosmetic company store They have a few other stores there as well, but they have a cosmetic company store there And I really like visiting the cosmetic company store So my cosmetics company store is normally where I get my SD lot of foundation, but they've been out of my color forever So I didn't get that but they have a number of different brands in there And one of the brands that I've always really like is Mac So I got this little kit from Mac. It's called the eye kit cool And I thought okay, I'm going to try right has a mascara in there And it has a liner in there not tried the mascara yet I haven't opened it and I haven't tried the liner yet, but I'm super excited. I want to give this a try I just I don't want to open it until I get closer to because I don't want to have like 50 mascara is open I've been that way in the past So I'm not going to open this quite yet, and I'm not going to open my eyeliner quite yet But I'm looking forward to to seeing how I like them But I ended up getting the cool and it comes with a little palette and I thought that is really pretty I love the container Magnetic so it does, you know clothes securely I'm gonna try to hold it this way so you don't get blinded and I really like these the cool shades I really like the colors So I do have a couple of Mac Palettes that I really like and I really like this as well, but I will tell you that it's a soft palette and when I say a soft palette To get any kind of like real color buildup you have to build it up Which I actually prefer I actually prefer to build up than to take off So you're not going to get like a warm in your face, right? it's going to be a slow build up, but I thought the colors were super pretty and I really liked it so I'll probably do another video on this and maybe swatch these colors for you But I ended up getting this in the set and the mascara and the Eyeliner so I like Mac products. I think they're pretty cool and I got course. I Needed this desperately. I mean I have a couple of different setting sprays that I like But I ended up getting the the Fix Plus. I really like this The prep and prime the Fix Plus at the Mac store. I really like this I have a couple of different setting sprays that I really like a lot and my cheapest one is the NYX I normally use the Dewey finish and then I have the Morphe which I really like. I have the Morphe Continuous and setting mist so these are the two that I'm using they use most of the time But I have had one of these in the past. I really liked it I just haven't replaced it. So got it when I was down at the cosmetic company store. I was like, yeah So I anyways that was my treat. Oh, and then I am and I'm not gonna really talk about this particular product because I'm actually Doing a test on it right now, but I ended up buying the Peter Thomas Roth Instant firm eye fix. This is an instant eye freeze. So where I have it on now. I'm testing it I'll probably have a separate video out on this shortly Or maybe before even this I don't know. But so this this is this is the other thing I got and then I went to Macy's and I have I think I have a airing fix station I would think I really do but I went to Macy's last time last two times. It was in Macy's I saw these errands. These are ink and and I NC and I just thought they were really pretty They're you know, they're hoops. I just thought they were really pretty, but he didn't buy them So when I went to Macy's last time they were on sale and I had to keep on so I said, okay So I did up buying these and you probably have seen them in a video and I bought these Which is a little bit more, you know, glammy looking and I've just I just really liked it So I was like, ah, you know how how fun? So I that's what I ended up doing. So a little bit of empties And some stuff that I bought, you know that I really really like do you guys have a cosmetic company store near you at all? because I'm kind of bummed that I can't get my My SD lotter shade, but you know when I spoke to them, they said, oh, no, you know comes and goes but mine has Clinique SD lotter two-faced What else just a Smashbox Bobby Brown, you know Mac Tom Ford, I mean they carry a number of different brands and they're you know, they're all You know, probably maybe they're not the top-selling shades or something Maybe that's why but they're always pretty reasonable in comparison to what you get at in the mall or something So that was that was my like huge Splurridge I Treated myself this week actually and Jay and I think I mentioned earlier. We've been looking for bikes and We both We both have mountain bikes. I have an older Cannondale Jay has an older Cannondale and we like to ride our bikes But and I'm maybe a year and a half ago. I had taken a bad tumble on my bike. I fell off And I hurt myself really bad. It was bleeding and And I hadn't gone I did not get back on the bike since that since I fell off and I just you know, I'm it's like at my age and I don't want to blame age But I want to stay active. I want just and I love bike riding But I can't the bike I have is a 26 inches a big mountain bike. It's a hybrid actually combo street mountain trail But it's a it's a unisex. So it's got like it's a boys bike, you know So it's got the high bar and I just have a hard time getting my leg over it Getting my balance and then pedaling away So we both decided we we were gonna sell those not gonna get much because they're like what they've been to 20 years old or something, but we thought we decided we're gonna sell those and then we're going to buy, you know some probably some e-bikes So that it'd be easier for us to do the trails that we want to do and bar hopper and then Just maybe go on more longer bike rides with the e-bikes because then when you get tired, you know They have a pedal assist, but you also have a little throttle on some of them Then you get tired you can have the pedal assist and I think the whole thing with the e-bikes is that it gets you out You know, it gets you out instead of sitting there. So Yeah, I'm really looking forward to making that decision and and you know and getting my pedaling my butt around town again It's crazy. I know that sounds crazy. So anyways, that's some of the some of my cool stuff that I think is cool I love my earrings. I'm I'm I love earrings. I really do and I This product very very interesting product. I had the hardest time finding this product. It was sold out everywhere on the internet I mean, I checked Walmart. I checked out every on the websites everywhere was sold out. So But I scoffed one and and so That's what I'm testing. You'll have to watch my other video might have already seen it but yeah, so that's what I'm testing and I'm looking forward to this stuff. So those are just my little silly things this week, you know that That I did that made me feel a little bit better. I hope you guys had a good week I hope and I know I think holidays coming up Labor Day is coming up I think Jay and I are gonna try to beach it for Labor Day. We're not going away anywhere Just probably do some beach trips and hang low, you know type of thing, but that's the plan and Yeah, so thank you so much for watching guys and You know, hey, do any of you have e-bikes if you have any tips tricks? Let me know. I just want to get back in shape I really just want to get back in shape and I feel that you know COVID has just changed so much of our lifestyle that Both Jay and I need to we're getting motivated. We've found our motivation But now we just need to get back into doing more of the things that we both both so much loved and biking was one of them Especially up in Acadia. So anyways, I digress. I want to share some of my empties and some of the things that I bought and To share a little bit of what's been happening. Hope you guys have a great one I will catch you in my next video. Bye. Bye.
