 Good morning. Today. I'm going to share with you some bougie items bougie is kind of a new word for To me, it's kind of like luxury things that are kind of extra Extra extra. I'm gonna announce the five one hundred dollar winners of my giveaway And like always there's always gonna be a little bit of chit chat But first of all, I hope you all had a lovely and blessed Thanksgiving I'm filming this before Thanksgiving about seven years ago. I started only buying cruelty-free makeup and At the very beginning when I first started buying just cruelty-free makeup There weren't very many brands that I kind of considered department store or more on the luxury side I did find one that I liked a lot and it was by Terry and I'll type that in up here And I loved all the things that I tried from her brand But I found that it wasn't cruelty-free and all the things that I am going to mention are things that I truly enjoy using and Before I get started. I'm gonna share with you. I have a ring light I bought one a couple of years ago For like 70 some dollars and I never used it. So I put it up today. I'm gonna see what this video looks like Today it's dark outside. I mean there's no sun and I know that last video I had I had lamps and anyway I just thought I'd try the first thing that I thought of when I thought about things I truly love using is Our glass ambient lighting palette and I'll show it to you. It doesn't look like it's real special Here are the shades in the palette and what this is it's a finishing powder Now today, I just have a little powder on in some blush And I don't know if you'll be able to see a difference or not But like when I'm wanting to go someplace and look better than I do I use this and I've owned this for probably six years and it's still going strong But what I do I take a big fluffy brush and I just brush back and forth and I just go around my face and It usually I don't know what it's gonna do here, but it usually just gives me a real Soft finish and I just like it a lot and I enjoy using it You can buy these in singles, but I've never needed to I've just kept using this and I probably will use it for a very very long time You know, I realized that all there's all sorts of blushes in so many different categories Expensive inexpensive and they all bring color to your cheek. It kind of reminds me of my vehicle situation I have a 2017 Chrysler that I absolutely love I get in it. I love driving it It gets me everywhere. I want it to go wherever I want to go I met Jim in 2006 just shortly after I had purchased a new minivan and I love my minivan. We still have the minivan. We have a three three vehicles Jim has his and then we have we both the drive the van and I love it And it gets me everywhere. I need to go, but it's a lot less expensive vehicle, but it still works So that's kind of what I'm talking about with all the with all these things I'm gonna talk about today the next item is by Hourglass and it is mood exposure blush and that's the color and that's what I'm wearing today my very very very favorite blush of all times I have had this for several years and I believe Natalie the beauty diva is a one That use this that I thought oh my gosh. I need to try that. This is the full size. I Would never I will never ever buy another way. I hate to say I'll never ever I probably won't buy full-size again because they also have the small size and this is in diffused heat and it's another blush Absolutely love it. I of course everything I mention I love so I better quit saying that But it has different striations of color in there. I think you you'll be able to see that and It's just a real good size. I did not mean for this to happen But we have a pattern going on here all the makeup products I'm talking about her from Hourglass and I did not know that when I sat down I went to my vanity And I thought what do I really enjoy using and I picked out these things and they all are from Hourglass The Hourglass unreal lip gloss is something that my older sister told me about and because of her I bought one I liked it so much. I bought two and I have repurchased this one And of course, you know, I always wait for a sale, but they're expensive I think they cost $32 if you don't get them on sale, but I like several things about them number one I don't have I don't I've seldom if ever use lip pencil I should but I don't but I want to know the products that I buy and when I talk to you about them I want to tell you if they creep up in the creases above our lips and these don't so you don't have to have a lip liner It's a nice shaped applicator and it just Goes on smooth and I love it and I love both colors now the next item I think is crazy expensive But the case you can get refills and this is by Hourglass and it is a Beautiful beautiful lipstick in a refillable case. This shade is if only and This shade is my icon is that is probably my favorite shade of red, but they're both beautiful But what I really like about them is you can put them on you can blot them and put another little coat over it And it will stay for hours and hours and hours and it's just beautiful and I love getting it out to do a touch up Sometimes I think I wish I'd need to touch up more often because it's just fun using it. This is a compact That's probably 30 years old One of my sisters got it for me I always love to take it out and Put my lipstick on using it and it just makes me feel Special even if I'm by myself. I enjoy doing that. I think the refills are $24 I have a refill of if only and one of them my icon is because that is my favorite I don't have any idea if they sell these anymore. They may or may not, but I just enjoy using them I was about 20 years old when I realized that the brushes that came with the blush with the eye shadow I needed something more than that that little sponge Applicators did a good job at doing a lot of things and I still I bought some sponge Applicators not too long ago and I am gonna wear eye shadow again. I just don't know when But I bought just a set at the drugstore and then when I saw Mary Kay sit brush set I bought that and I used that for years and years and years and the next thing I love using are Brushes and especially BK Beauty brushes. They have become my very top number one brushes that I own In fact, I've given away so many brushes it cosmetics I used to love their brushes. There's one double ended. I still use now for the rest of them I've gone to new homes because I like Lisa's brushes that much better I've had a lot less expensive brushes that I still think are good They do their job and then I've had some that were a whole lot more expensive I'm not I don't really like the real hair hair brushes Because you have to take special care of them The only thing you have to do with the BK Beauty brushes is when you wash it You just want to make sure you don't get it up in the ferrule and you wash it. I put mine flat to dry I know you're supposed to hang them upside down, but I've never had a problem, but I don't use that many brushes I don't now I own I bought these she they sent me two boxes and they're not gonna be given away now But I'm gonna be giving them away in a future video, but I love this brush I have three different sizes of it now and this is the smaller version of the 101 And even though I haven't been wearing liquid foundation when I use powder foundation like I put some I just put some powder on today I love this brush. The bigger one is the one I'm talking about. I love how soft they are I love how easily they clean up. They just have become my favorite. There's a sale that's going on That's 20% off site-wide and I think it's over tomorrow. It's through Cyber Monday. I got mine on sale But 20% off and it's also 20% off a bundle if you decide to buy a bundle It's 20% off that and I'll put a link below But these are four of the new face brushes and I'll just have you look at them online I won't go into detail, but they're all for specific things and then she added four more brushes to her eyeshadow Collection and two of them are smaller versions of larger brushes. There's no duplicates But I'm just really proud of her. I'm proud of her her business. I love her ethics. I love that she Donates money to the kindness campaigns and that she has a happiness guarantee And plus I liked her long before she started making BK Beauty I just think of the world ever and there's not very many people out there that want to send a 69 year old woman Some of their items, but she's one of the people that I I accept products from but I love using her brushes So I do appreciate a good brush I think it was last year when they had the Nord's not this year But last year when they had the Nordstrom sale I bought a set of the nest candles and I've used two of them and I truly love the scent My very favorite is bamboo. I don't like a lot of scent in my home. I something I like is to light it for a few minutes maybe ten minutes and then Extinguish the flame and I just want a real soft subtle smell in the house Last year I bought two of the big nest candles and I was going to give them as gifts But I liked them so much. I got them something else and here's the size of them and this is the bamboo Are you sitting down? The retail price is $48 and I bought it from Ulta when they had ten times points So really basically I paid about half price so twenty four dollars is still a lot for a candle But it's worth it to me when I get them I burn them all the way across like you're supposed to and then I'll just burn it for like 30 minutes and Extinguish it if it ever gets to where I can't use it as a candle I can take some of the wax out and use it in a warmer just for a little while But it's something I probably will always want to have now I want to talk about bath stuff And you may be surprised. I like all kinds of bath bath things. I love bath products But taking a bath is just so relaxing I've always loved a good bath, and I take a bath in an anti-claw foot bathtub that seven generations of my family have bathed in so it's just Fabulous the hospital purchased my mother and father's home And I got to get in get in there and get woodwork and get the fireplace and the bathtub and all that So I'm just really happy to have it. So it's just a special experience Well years ago loxatone Sent me a some of their Almond shower oil bath oil. They sent me my first one I loved it so much that I got a second one as a gift and this year. I found it on sale somewhere I don't remember. I thought well, I'm gonna go ahead and get my back up and Here's my backup There is just something about this scent in the in the bathroom and how it smells on your body when you're done And you don't need much like this is the third one. I've had probably in seven years. So Yeah, it's it's one of my special things and I can't not mention another one the first one I received was a gift This is a so de Janeiro It's supposed to be the boom-boom cream. It's a they're moisturizing shower cream gel The first one, it's a gift the second one I purchased and I've just purchased a backup and It's just packaged a little differently. I love the smell. It's very unique The one in the orange. I love the one with the blue by so de Janeiro I couldn't get it out of my house quick enough My daughter liked it and the pink one I've smelled it and I have a sample and I like it but I like the original the best I think I've had this for about a year and a half. It is the t3 professional curling iron and I have mine in an inch and a half It's crazy expensive. I think it's probably around a hundred and sixty dollars Or seventy dollars. I'm not really sure. I bought it on sale at Ulta and I use some of my points But I'll tell you what I like about number one My hair stylist told me it was a really good one and that I needed to use the lowest setting I could on my hair to keep it strong and this goes for my 260 to 410 And I just have to turn it down here and it'll go on how many lights I want it to There's five and I just use it on the second one and what I like about there's a lot of things I like about it. I don't like it because I did burn myself with it I forgot I hadn't had a curling iron in forever, but when I use this color well on my hair I'm supposed to use a curling iron to after I blow my hair dry but what's nice about this is I can use it like this if I want to just go around like this or however they do it It's not hot now, but you can use it a lot of different ways and it has the You know the cord that goes around and around and I don't think I'll have to buy another I don't think I'll have to buy another curling iron and I'm real happy. I bought it be sure and watch for scammers I'm getting ready to announce the five winners from my last giveaway They're five people that are going to receive a hundred dollars or a hundred dollar deposit to their PayPal account And and I furnish the money.
