 Good morning everybody. How you guys doing today? I hope you guys are doing good. Let me know how you are doing I have been gone for quite a bit of time I wanted to do a kind of a chilled video that's sort of just a few minutes a little bit of space just to kind of talk about Things that don't really matter just talk about like makeup stuff and just things that make us feel calm So I'm gonna share my kind of hair routine and my makeup routine that I've been doing and yeah Just have a little bit of space just to chill because this is the kind of stuff that I've been watching a lot recently Because I think the world's so loud. It's nice to just have videos that are just kind of chilled So that's what I wanted to create today I do however have to address something not something that I thought that I'd have to address But there were some rumors going around but I'm gonna address them and then we're gonna get out of the way and then get back to This niceness and just chill chillness. So yeah, let me just get that out of the way first Basically, I took time off for health reasons to kind of deal with some stuff and over the weekend somebody had Written comments saying that they heard rumors that I have to be careful about how I say this because you can get in trouble for Saying some certain stuff, but there was a rumor going around that I was no longer here and that I had Past that's actually happening to people all the time and I felt it was just so disrespectful just to make up something like that To I felt angry for all of those people And you know, it doesn't it doesn't matter that it wasn't true and that I'm sitting here in front of you It doesn't you know, it doesn't make it any easier not that it doesn't matter But it doesn't make it any easier to to to read I Think I would have been able to handle it better had it not been that I am you know dealing with with health issues and and you know, that's always in the back of your mind, you know fear of that And yeah, I just it wasn't nice It wasn't nice to read it was very difficult to read and I didn't realize it was gonna have such an effect on me And I don't think that person did either. I think They were just saying it to be not nice. And so yeah, this was a very hurtful thing to say But it was just extra Extraly like that's not a word, but it affected me more than I thought that it was going to affect me And I also I want to say huge. Thank you to to people who message me and text and emails and stuff I appreciate it so much me at me and Davey. We were getting messages. I haven't been able to get back to everybody yet But I just want to say a collective. Thank you because I felt really stupid for getting so upset about it Cuz I know it's not true. I'm sitting here. I'm fine But it's really it really upset me and I just want to say how much I appreciate the people who were like Of course, it's gonna upset you and it was a terrible thing and validating that feeling so I didn't feel so stupid Getting so upset about it was I'm it was it upset me massively like I also want to say to Bella cuz Bella She's one of my subscribers viewers and one of my friends and she was actually the one who saw it and Messaged me. I really feel so sorry for for what she went through because she actually was like wait what like You know this person said it to her and she was like wait a minute And you know that that's a very upsetting thing first of all for someone just to blurt out to you like oh I think this person, you know, that's that's not nice I just want to send a big hug to to Bella and to everybody else and thank her for for letting me know What was going on to the person who said it? You know you are and you know why you did it and you know what? You did it and you didn't realize the extent it was gonna affect and I can forgive you for not realizing The extent of the upset that you were gonna cause somebody And I can I forgive you for that it brought up the saying and I'm gonna read it because I'm gonna get wrong if I don't Everyone you meet is fighting a battle. You know nothing about be kind always and that's one thing I always say at the end of my videos. I was Most of the time I'll say like be kind to yourself be kind to others I don't know if you have apologized. I don't have them looked but I forgive you for Not realizing the impact the full extent of the impact of your words But it's the same time you did say those things you did make up that and that's not very nice I'm gonna draw a line under it and we're gonna just get back to the video that I wanted to create I didn't want to do all of this is filled with really really weird Yeah, I'm gonna I'm actually gonna go make myself a cup of tea and then I'll be I'll be back and We'll continue and we won't discuss this anymore All right, I'll be back. It's so bright, but it's like Stormy, I'm probably gonna put this on a premiere and we like to chat usually me and Davey are chatting to people I don't know where it's at. It's on. Hi to everybody in the chat. I'm sending you guys a little heart a Little heart if you want you can put a heart in the chest and sending you guys a little heart. Yeah, that's that's a very long intro I apologize. Let's get started and I'll show you guys How I get ready Let's get started. I always start off with my hair I wash it at night and then I let it air dry so in the next morning I can use heat and I don't feel guilty about using heat because I haven't used hair dryer or anything like that And that's what this is. I'm trying to get my natural curl up I used to have really curly hair when I was a kid But it wasn't popular to have curly hair in the 90s And so we all straightened it and then my hair is kind of just remembering what it's natural texture supposed to be like Also, I want to mention Obviously my hair if you don't have my hair texture this this probably be very boring to you So I apologize you guys would share what you like to do for your hair I love learning about products other people use my sister has been like teaching me a lot of different things about hair She's more knowledgeable than me. I haven't seen my sister in ages. So sister look. I got I got a little bit curl going Are you proud of me? So what I use is I use two different things I use the lariel steamer pod and I use some velcro rollers the lariel steamer pod I can't tell you how unbelievable this hair tool is my one I've had for years. It's a bit grimy looking I've got tape in certain areas, but this tool is the best thing I've ever used if this broke right now Like literally right now I would immediately stop filming and go on and order a new one is the best hair tool ever It will give you shine. It will give you volume You can use it to curl your hair straight in your hair giving you that kind of salon blow-dry effect I just I love it like I'm not trying to I'm not affiliated with them or anything like that I'm just telling you it's brilliant It's expensive and I'm very careful with my money, but even even me I would be like no I'm getting this if it broke fingers crossed it's not gonna break anytime soon But it's awesome aside from it being just brilliant I also just really like the process of using it because you put water in it That's why it's called a steamer and there's just something about this steam that I find just really calming Like I even I have a steamer mop and I also find that really calming like pasta, you know the steam That's really calming. I love steam anybody else like Steam Anyway, and then my second hair tool is super cheap compared to that and it's Velcro rollers Which I should have cleaned before I showed on camera because there's like hairs on them But yes Velcro rollers Oh You have my hair texture get yourself some Velcro rollers if you like your hair straight to get the bigger ones And they will add volume, but they won't make your hair curly Okay, if you like your hair kind of wavy go for the medium if you like your hair very curly go for the smaller one I like it to have some volume up here So I use bigger ones up here and medium and then small just because the ends of my hair can be kind of straight And then my other hair tool is this brush this brush is the naughty it gets rid of all your knots in your hair And it adds shine like look at that compare the sides Like look at that So the first thing that I like to do is I like to work on my bangs take all my bangs away And then I go around the hairline and I just take it a little a little bit just around my hairline Because what you don't want to do when you're using rollers have it too tight And then you're gonna get like little kinks in your hair because the rollers like holding your hairline in the wrong position So I take just a very small section out and I just like bobby pin this to the side I like to make sure the lines are quite clean as well. I take this section Like that When I'm bringing it through I like to kind of do a little swish just at the bottom Just to add that little curve It actually makes your hair look a lot thicker then I take the large roller and we're not going to roll underneath We're actually going to roll back when our hair falls. It's going to fall like this take a section behind that That's going to roll in the opposite way. So it's going to roll forward first one rolls back and then the rest I'll roll forward I'm going to have to do a full video on how I do do this in more detail because I know a lot of you were like What are you saying today? Like kind of a strange kind of mohawk It seems like a lot of work showing it on camera I'm sure people are like that's too much work to be doing in the morning. It just feels kind of chilling to me It's like, you know taking section by section and popping it in the roller So I'm going to work on the bottom section now and I split the hair into three a back and two side And I split the hair into two and yes, I'm going to put it in my mouth. Don't judge me Even though I have separated the two sections in order to use the tool I still just use one roller I want to turn this off So it kind of cools down a little bit and then just do my little baby hairs So that is how I do my hair usually takes me about like 10 minutes And then that's kind of just the start of my day. The next thing that I like to do is a little weird I like to go and take a bath with my rollers in yeah If I could wake up and take a shower and then dry my hair and then style it But that's too much for my body to cope with so because of my jhs I find baths are just really calming on like my um My joints I leave the rollers in because I feel like the steam again steam seems to seal in The hairstyle a little bit more It's a great alternative to having a shower low drying and then styling your hair If that's too much for you taking a little a little bath your rollers in starts you off in the right way So for my my spoonies out there, give it a try. I hope that it helps you guys out as much as it helps me So I'm going to go do that and then I'll be back. It's just a great way to start your day with a little bath Seriously, especially in the winter. Okay, so I am out of the bath I've just popped in my hair extensions with the last kind of few rolls I just took them out and pop my hair extensions in and the reason I do this is because my hair always looks really flat on camera It's the same with um eyelashes like the eyelashes that I wear on camera are like way fuller than what I would need in real life You know, the camera adds 10 pounds. Well, it takes that 10 pounds from your hair. That's where it gets it from That's not true. So I popped in it's just two clips clips in the back And I'm going to put a little bit of um makeup on my face I've already done a little cleanse if you want to see my skincare routine. It's really basic I'll like link it up here in the description box and I've just done a little bit of that Put a little bit of moisturizer on and then I'm going to be using these two products, which I am obsessed with I think they're brilliant using the urban decay all nighter ultra glow After the makeup, but for like my prep I use the primer So this is the face primer of the all nighter urban decay ultra glow combination of these two Awesome completely clear gel and it feels quite sticky So it really holds the makeup and then wait until you see the setting spray I hope it shows up on camera because the setting spray best setting spray ever I do want to say that if you have taken a bath or a shower or anything like that And you're going to go do your makeup make sure your skin has come back to kind of a reasonable temperature Because if it's too hot the makeup's going to sit and then it's going to Drop and you're going to get like really uneven kind of patchiness So just let it come back to normal before you go in with any products So i'm just going to leave that primer kind of sat along my skin for a little bit And I want to talk about brushes and the reason I want to talk about this is because I noticed that there was a sale on And I thought I would let you guys know about it because I love Love these brushes now. I actually don't have the set. I just have these brushes individually So they're all pink and gold. I just don't have this in the pink and gold I only have it in the gold, but they come in a set and at the moment There's 33 off and you can also use my discount code for I think an extra 20 off a check out so Originally, I want to talk about this brush. This is the f o one But it's out of stock at the moment So I will do a video on that once it comes back in stock But hold on because if you're looking for a set, this is a really great set in here We have the f o one, which is my favorite blush brush the f 36 Which I use for applying mineral foundation like powder foundation or you can use it for highlighter Or bronzer or contour or whatever all of these brushes are multi multipurpose by the way This is the f 43 which I actually really like for powder powder foundation Because it's dense enough to pick it up and then it kind of pushes it into the skin Kind of similar to using a powder puff in a way, but it's a brush and then of course The e o one e o one is my my favorite. I use it all the time So the fact that it's these comb together like these three would be my top picks This one's a great brush as well But these ones would be my most used so I just wanted to give you guys a heads up On that if you're wanting to upgrade and get some brushes plus their pink So maybe you're going to treat yourself Valentine's Day, you know, maybe I'm going to use them today to show you guys How they're used so I have been kind of swapping in and out the different products that I'm using for Like coverage so most of the time I've just been using a little bit of concealer And this is the essence camouflage concealer and I love this because it gives me such amazing coverage I have it in the shade warm sand and it's pale enough for me which says something Which is very unusual. I never find a concealer that works for me in this one does then for foundation I've either been using there's there's a few that I've been using but I like the it cosmetics one This is your skin but better foundation and then also the urban decay stay naked the fix powder foundation It's a press powder I cannot find any mineral loose powder foundations. L'Oreal have discontinued one that I absolutely love So this is kind of my alternative try to bunch of different ones and this would be my favorite But I just wish that some brand would come out with like a mineral foundation. I that's pale enough for me too That's that's my problem. So I'm just going to start off with a little bit of concealer Just to add a bit of coverage I'm just using my fingertips to tap that out. You can use any of those brushes really I'm just going to use my fingertips Once my concealer is blended in I'm then going to take the powder and I'm just going to take the f 41 for a second I'm just going to take a little bit of the powder very lightly to set that concealer We never want too much powder around the eyes because It can look really really heavy because it's so delicate there So see how it's it really soft kind of fluffy brush and it's also kind of tapered It's just going to apply a very very sheer layer of powder and that's what we want And then we can go in with the f 43 and use this to press the press Foundation in to the skin and it's going to give us a lot more coverage Think of this as instead of using a sponge or you know those little I think this one came with a sponge Think of this as like a brush version of a powder puff I like the coverage that I get from this and how kind of quick and easy it is just to kind of Put on my face even like the sheerst amount gives you just that that little bit of coverage I really want to try the fenty beauty Their their new powder foundation. I I don't know anything about it if anyone's tried it Let me know and I'm not sure about the texture and stuff. So I'm gonna have a look but um so far this one's been been working out Pretty well, but this concealer is what you need in your life the cam slash concealer go and get it. It's I think it's like 50 or something like that amazing and also nars foundation They just came out with a new one and I'm gonna do a whole video on it because it's incredible But these ones that I've been wearing the most so that gives me like a decent amount of coverage I'm actually going to apply a little bit of that powder just on my eyes on the lid and I'm using the eo one to do that And this will just brighten up the lid just that little bit. I can bring it up towards the brows Speaking of brows, I did do my brows off-camera And I want to do a full video on it because um, it's a bit weird So I've actually been using a liquid liner for my brows a really really fine one This is winging it by Blanc Amos Cosmetics and it's got this like really fine tip on it And it's just great for doing like fake hairs and then I've also been using this It's like a primer by YSL and it goes on pink But then it goes clear and it's like glue for your lashes But I've been using on my brows which probably is a great thing But I have been using on my brows and it just really locks them in place It's the best clear mascara in the world You know, usually the clear mascaras are too liquidy to kind of watery They don't hold this one holds if you don't want to wear mascara But you want a lift and you want definition this this you need to get it But also it's like glue for your brows So I use it all the time like even I'm not wearing any makeup I'll still put this on my lashes and I'll put it through my brow. It's awesome But yeah, I've been I've been using this to create little hairs Because my eyebrows are black. I wouldn't recommend it But I would recommend it because it's awesome But I did those off camera I want to finish off the eyes and what I've been doing recently is just using like nothing like major I've just been using like a um like a cream like a cream eyeshadow and I really like this one This is by Charlotte Tilbury Tilbury is this shade dark pearl and I just apply it a little bit right at my lash line and then just smudge it in And I like how it just goes on It's almost like a aubergine bronze And it's just great if you don't want to make too much of an effort But you still want a little bit of kind of smokiness. I just I really like smoky looks recently And I noticed that all of my smoky tutorials have become really popular and they're always really popular in january And february for some reason. I think it's all because because we're all really tired and like drained So we all kind of are using the excuse to be like no It's a smoky eye when really maybe our eyes are just kind of tired looking for mascara. I'm going to be using the lanko mascara This is the doll eyes. You know what I like about this mascara is that it's really tapered It's like a christmas tree kind of a thing But it's really tapered and you can get right to the edge and some brushes claim to do this But this is the only verse that I think actually does do this because it's really tapered right at the tip But like you can get like right right to the edge It's really awesome I do have a little bit of that lash primer on already though So that definitely helped with the build. If you're the type that like if you apply two coats mascara It tends to just go All clumpy on you You need to get the clear mascara first because honestly the difference it makes is amazing I apply a little bit of bronzer because I do have some fake tan on my neck And I need to kind of help my face blend a little bit or also add in more 3d-ness because that foundation can look quite flat and then you need to add in a little bit extra You can probably tell that's what I need to do right now because I can tell by looking at myself So I'm going to take the f 43 which is the flat top brush and then I want to take the hula bronzer And I'm just taking on one side of the brush Don't dip the brush in kind of push it in so you just get the bottom part and I'm pushing upward So I want this to kind of hit my cheek and then the the part with the bronzer to kind of hit the hollow And then I'm going to push it upwards While that went on a lot more and then I thought it was going to go on Typically I wouldn't use a bronzer for contour, but sometimes you can kind of get away with it sometimes So I'm just that's why I'm doing it today because I'm being a bit lazy and I don't want to go and get like an actual contour I'm kind of bringing it up over the cheeks So it's kind of turning into like a bronzer contour duo and if you feel like it's too much You can always just take a little bit of your powder And just tap over it and that'll kind of camouflage a little bit I'm also going to bring it up around my hairline Take a little bit just through the crease of the eye and kind of swirling this on this outer edge I'm going to take the marie luminizer on the f 36 and just tap this Just up here. I want a little a little bit of glow Nothing Nothing too crazy. And then just to finish off. I'm just going to take uh, this is pillow talk blush the f 41 And this actually has like a little bit of shimmer inside and then it's I think it's like matte around the edges But I really like this I really like this blush And I don't even like blush, but I like this blush Got that classic charlotte tilbury Tone to it, you know, I think you can always just tell all of their lipsticks and all that kind of stuff They just have this this particular shade and it's so recognizable. I can just see it from by the way For the lips, I'm going to be using Jen's lip collection Is it a lip collaboration or collection that she had with offra? This is in the shade revive and it's the pale shade honestly Genius genius collection. I'm going to probably Miss quote this, but I think the three shades are like shades that you can customize and add to your other Existing shades in order to make them better that I explain Terribly yes. Um, so say if you have a lipstick that's too dark You can just add in a little bit of this and it will Lighten it for you. I just love just tapping a little bit of this on with a lip primer Actually, sorry a lip liner. I'm going to put the lip liner on first. What am I doing? I got too excited there. I'm going to set Use my setting spray I've never used a spray so much. This is This is just used by so much. I love it a bit too much I'll I'll leave it kind of subtle and then I'll I'll come back and show you. I just want to grab a lip liner and some lashes It just made it really hard to find really good lip liners I just went to the drawer and I was just testing like a bunch of them And they're always like either too like brown and dark or they're too pink, but I found a good one This is the gel lip liner bear to comment. It's not like it's not too light or too dark It's not too pink or too kind of brown. It's kind of somewhere in between. I want to pop that on Yeah, it's It's nice, but you know what's going to improve it Jen Jen it's going to improve it. It's going to tap a little bit of this Then I'm going to apply some lashes. These are kiss so wispy lashes in Two I want to do this off-camera because um, you're too far away to see anything. So we'll be back I can't believe they just literally just popped on because the shape is so So perfect, but they're really good and now I can actually take my rollers out But that is my morning routine hair bath makeup, and then I'm ready to start my day I hope you guys enjoyed this one as always be kind to yourself Be kind to others we'll link everything in the description box because davie's been doing all the links recently So if he's missed anything, let him know Um to everybody in the chat. Bye. I'll hopefully talk to you guys really soon. Eyelash keeps catching my hair Okay, bye
