 Do I actually have products that I feel like have truly been game changers, not just things that we review and we say, oh, this is great. No, these are game-changing products which have really made a difference in my skincare hair care and especially my makeup, and I'm bringing those to you in a video today. Hello, my friends. Not only am I bringing you some amazing products that I truly feel have made a huge, huge impact on my beauty routine, but I'm also bringing you a collab with my dear friend Kimberly from Pretty Over 50. And I know that most of you already know Kimberly. She is just such a warm, comforting soul to watch. She's a beautiful woman and I have just appreciated her so much. Her and I got together on a collab not too long ago, but Kimberly has come onto the scene on YouTube and skyrocketed. And I am so proud of her for what she has done. She has just enveloped the mature beauty community and she has just done wonders. Her videos are very informative. They're very thought out and they're very, very helpful to the woman that is over 50. I appreciate her so much. I love watching her. I know that if you haven't watched her, you're going to love watching her. I want you to please go over and click on her video that is the same title as this one.

I have some skincare, one hair care item, and then the rest is makeup. So I want to start with the skincare that I have. I have, first of all, this from Good Molecules. If you've been around my channel for very long, you know that I love the niacinamide brightening toner. It's one of my holy grail skincare items that I have had for years now since it came out and I will never be without it. Good Molecules is a fantastic line if you've been thinking about trying it. Let me just tell you this says that it is formulated with niacinamide, vitamin C, Arbutin, or Arbutin, I don't know how you say it, and licorice root extract to brighten and improve the appearance of enlarged pores. So niacinamide is that great sweep that goes in there into our pores and it sweeps out all the old dead skin cells, the dirt, everything that's in there that can clog our pores or make our pores even look larger because they have gunk inside of them and are stretched out. So niacinamide goes in there and does that beautiful sweep. But I like to tell everybody about this product is that when I did get it when it very first came out, I was using it and I was looking at it and I was going, is this for real? Because it was like, I think maybe six or seven days later. It wasn't quite a week and I started to look at my skin, especially on my pores and I'm like, are my pores becoming more refined? Or am I just crazy? And I knew that this was the only product that I had changed in my skincare. By week three, I was noticing my skin was brighter. Everything about my skin had changed just a bit, just enough to tweak it and make it look better. And so this is a product that I use every single morning. I am never without it. I will use a glycolic toner like three days a week before that, let it completely dry down and then this one goes on next. And the ingredients in it, the Arbutin, the licorice root, the vitamin C, all of those are super brightening. So if you have trouble with dull skin, I think you're going to love this. And for me, it was an immediate game changer. It wasn't like normally with skincare, you have to wait like six weeks or whatever to see. I noticed a change in my skin very, very quickly and I love that stuff and I'll never, ever be without it. The next product I know I have told you guys about so many times. That is the Sukoyaka Suhara eye cream and I know that there are a lot of people out there, dermatologists out there, say that you don't need a separate eye cream. This isn't a serum eye cream that's going to take care of wrinkles or your darkness or anything like that. What this is, is an uber hydrator. It is such an intense hydrator that it completely changed everything about my eye makeup, especially my concealer. The main ingredient in here is urea and I get asked this question a lot so I clarify every single time. Yes, urea is a component in urine, human urine, animal urine. However, this is not urine. This is created in a lab to mimic what that does, which is super softening and urea also has the property of doing a tiny, tiny sloughing or a tiny, tiny exfoliating. It's not irritating. It's very, very soothing. And I will find that if I have a time when the tretinoin or any extra acids or anything has really kind of traveled up and hurt my eyes, I reach for all my urea products because they're so very calming on my skin. I will show you the texture of this. It is not super thick, but it's not super thin. So it's like in between a lotion and a cream and it spreads over your eyes. It sinks in very quickly, but you will notice that your skin is so plumped up and so hydrated and it is a hydrator that lasts for hours and hours. And I at the end of the day don't feel like I have any creepiness from drying out or anything like that. And I will tout this until I no longer have a channel and then I'll tout it to whoever else can hear. I love this stuff. If you have been somebody that struggles with those horrible wrinkles around your eyes, give it a try. It really does make a difference to hydrate any area where you have super dehydration and most of us over 40 notice that dehydration, especially if you get past menopause. It becomes a true, true problem. Next product I want to show you is also skincare. However, it's for the body and I know that a lot. Well, I'll get into that just a second. Okay. It's the Alpha skincare renewal body lotion. This is 12% glycolic acid AHA. I adore this lotion, especially for my alligator legs that get so very dry. My heels that can get cracked at times from being so dry and my hands. I want to put a little bit of this on my hands. Now I did just put kind of a hydrator on that hand. So this hand right here is a little bit dehydrated, but I'm going to put this on. Now, the one thing that everybody does say when they use this lotion is it's hard to get out. It's thicker and because I'm a dry skin person, I don't mind that so much. So it is a little bit thicker. It's a little bit harder to get out, but I find that this lotion is so very thick and lovely on my skin and my hands have never looked better than when I did start to use this. I use it morning and night. The other thing I noticed as soon as I started using it is that my cuticles started to heal. I had very dry splitting kind of bleeding cuticles and they started to dry as well and my hands. I feel like they have never been in better shape and I do attribute that to this lotion. It will feel a little bit tacky, but I have noticed in the past that when I did use lotions that said that they were super healing or super hydrating that I felt like it was just dry within minutes. You won't feel that with this. It stays very tacky. One thing that I will tell you is that if you do get hot when you go to bed or if you get very warm when you go to bed and you do sweat a lot, try to avoid putting this on right before you go to bed on like your feet or your legs because I did that one night and I felt like I was sticking to the sheets all night long because I do sweat a little bit at night myself and so I put this on right after I get out of the shower and just let it sink in for an hour or so and then you can go to bed or you know, if you're doing your daily routine and go about whatever you need to. It's wonderful. It's so good for hair very quickly. I'll touch on this because I have touched on it many times is the L'Oreal Paris L Vive 8 Wonder Water 8 second Wonder Water before I cut my hair. My hair was super duper dry, very, very dry and it's limp and it's fine and it has a hard time holding a curl. All the regular conditioners that I was using would just make it feel very limp still and I didn't feel like it was very soft. I still felt like it was dry. This is very liquidy almost like a micellar water and you put a tiny bit of this on. It kind of guides you through how much to use each use. You put a tiny bit of it, work it through your hair and within seconds it really does make your hair feel silky in the shower. Then you get out of the shower and telling you it makes it softer than I have ever had my hair feel before. The other thing is the shine on it is great and it just makes my hair feel conditioned and it just it doesn't ever feel like my hair is drying out when I use this. I love this. This is my second bottle and I definitely wanted to tell you about it because I felt like it's game-changing for my hair. All right three products left. Let's move into makeup. For me the Max Prep and Prime Fix Plus has been a staple in my makeup routine for years. I used to use it as a primer water that I would spritz across my face for a little bit extra hydration but as the years have gone by what I finally decided to do with it is actually use it as a step in my foundation where I would use it to thin out foundations just a little bit and make them look a little bit better. Let me tell you what I'm talking about. Don't take the Fix Plus. I'll take a brush. This isn't the brush that I use for my foundation but if I was going to use a brush for my foundation I would spray that and then go in and spread my foundation and buff my foundation around and I'll do it on one side. I'll spray one more time and then I'll do it on the other side and the reason that I do that is not only does it give a little added hydration to that foundation but it just goes across your face like a dream and I love that effect. You can also do it on a dampened beauty sponge. That's actually how I started to do it and if I have a foundation that is really thick I will do a beauty sponge instead of a brush because it does thin it out even more kind of soaks up into the beauty sponge a little bit but spraying this on the sponge will make your skin look absolutely flawless. I know that at the drug store there are a few priming sprays but I feel like none of them come close to this and right now I know that there are duos on sale for the holidays where you can buy two of these about for the price of one just a few dollars more so I'll make sure that I link that really good deal for you below. If you're interested in this you can also get it in a little trial size if you are afraid that you might not like it. I love that too so this definitely was a game changer for my foundation. I just felt like my foundation just blended smooth and flawlessly across my face when I started doing that loved it so much taking with foundation for just a second. The next product is the LA girl pro color foundation mixing pigment I have one in blue and I have one in white and I will tell you that these have made a huge game-changing difference in my foundation game because I would buy foundations and so many times foundations would be too orange too yellow too dark whatever the case might be and I would have to either return them which I feel like is a waste for the company or I would have to throw them away which is a huge waste for me right so I really have enjoyed having this the blue one will take any orange or yellow foundation and really tone that color down make it to where you can wear it no matter if you're neutral or if you're a cool toned gal it works like a dream and then the white again like I said if you have one that's too dark mixing a little bit of this and now it takes a very teeny tiny amount of either of these to change your foundation completely and I will try to insert a clip right here where I'm where I'm showing you that exact thing where I'm changing it and you can see how quickly it changes it on my hand I use these almost every time as a matter of fact the foundations that I have on today I'm testing one on each side both of the foundations needed to have the blue in it because they were too orange for me now if you're somebody that is all of skin tone I have heard people say they're never all of enough for me I have that problem try getting this one and probably the yellow one that they have and you get that green tone that you could put together and fix those foundations so that they could be more of an olive tone for you same goes if you have a problem with not getting foundations that are warm enough for you they do have an orange and they have yellow that you can mix in with these total total game-changing products that I absolutely adore now the last one I want to talk to about is a brush you wouldn't think that a makeup brush could make someone feel like it's a game-changing product but I do this brush that I have from it cosmetics is the most beautiful blush brush I have ever had in my life I feel like this blush brush because of being a mature woman lays blush down absolutely perfectly flawlessly and precisely and I will show you what I'm talking about now I do have another brush this is the new BK Beauty one from Angie hot and flashy it's an angled brush but as you can see from the two brushes they this one is very dense this one is very airy this blush is one from Fenty Beauty and it is a cream blush called cheeks out wait a minute that's not the name petal poppin is what it's called okay beautiful color if I go ahead and I swirl this brush in here from Angie hot and flashy and then I go ahead and I put it on my skin see how it's not really doing its job it's a cream blush yeah and it's pretty but there's not a lot going on there so let's go in a little bit tougher here and we're gonna see about putting more on there okay it's doing a doing its job but it's not depositing a lot I'm gonna take this on my finger and I'm gonna put it down the middle so you can actually see that when you do just apply that with a finger which you can apply apply blushes with your finger I'm not saying you can't when you do apply that with your finger it is very very pigmented so now I'm going to take this it brush that's called the heavenly angled brush so now you can see that it's picked it up but it's right there on the ends so now let's go over to this side as I am bouncing that or pouncing it that it does lay down a little bit more than that one did so I have two coats over here with that blush brush let me put a second coat on with this blush brush and you can see the difference so for cream products this one is a total game changer just perfect sit across the cheeks I want to show you what I'm talking about I have quite a bit already on there but you can just use this in such a way that as you're bouncing it really does lay it down just absolutely beautifully flawlessly there is not too much color on there at once if you want to you can build it up even more which I probably shouldn't do because then I'm gonna have like major major blush line but I want to show you this brush for me as soon as I got it I was like this is heaven had no pun intended as far as the heavenly lux brush goes but it really is a heavenly brush for blush that I absolutely love and I have two backups of it because I feel that strongly about it I love a duo fiber brush for one that it picks up cream cream products and picks them up and it deposits them and they're absolutely gorgeous and if you are somebody like I have in my lap right now the super shock blushes if you're somebody that has had a hard time with those blushes and you haven't been able to get them to go onto your skin being you know a different formula that will get them onto your skin so pretty any duo fiber brush will work but this one is airy enough that I love it and how well it deposits any cream product okay so that is my seven products for today thank you so much for spending a little bit of time with me welcome if you're from Kimberley's channel I do hope that you do
