You're listening too.
I'm on my media podcast.
Makeup is my therapy.
I'm obsessed.
And I don't even feel guilty about it.
Hello and welcome to You Beauty.
This is the podcast for your face.
I'm Kelly McCarran.
And I'm Lee Cam.
Well, you're sitting like you're having a school photo with your hands.
I am auntie.
Well, just clutching over my little bag.
I'm going to grab our little bags of joy.
My ears of joy.
It's from my favourite store next door.
What's it called?
D-A-S-O.
Yeah.
And it says, just enjoy where you are now.
Choose joy.
And I think it was like a dollar.
I don't know.
It's got a little compartment.
I mean, it's just a beauty bag.
But we've both got a bag of joy.
Of joy.
To show you our favourite products of the week or our product recommendation.
So, Casey missed it.
Every Friday we go through our spendy and savoury,
which is something more affordable and something definitely not affordable.
And then we do a newbie.
So, that might be a new product, a new whole range.
Which is today.
Yeah.
But it might just be something new to Australia or new to us personally
that we've been dying to try to just discover and think it's worth talking about.
And then we talk about something we've finished
or something we've discovered at home or bought
because the other one influenced us.
It actually happened in a lot.
It has been.
I think you'll buy mine.
Ooh.
Yeah.
Okay.
Spendy, baby.
Spendy.
Well, let's kick things off with savings.
All right.
My savings is phenomenal.
I didn't use it this morning, which was very sad,
but I'd already packed it.
I didn't want to forget it.
And I don't.
Which would happen.
Oh, yeah.
I mean, it just took her 10 minutes of rummaging through her three bags
to find the bag.
I saw what I'd left my products at home.
But actually, yesterday, like, thank you.
So, I don't know how this came into my house,
into my bedroom, into my bathroom.
And I love it.
I guess I put it just, and I don't remember.
The gun air fructose damage erase the keratin 10-in-1
leave-in spray.
4 price 14, 99.
There's another, like, I think, leave-in balm or serum.
That's a bit more expensive.
This is so good.
So, I put it in damp hair.
And it literally just makes your hair, like, your lengths.
Because my hair is getting longer.
It is.
Well, I haven't had a haircut in over six months.
So, these bits are just really, like,
hi, guys.
Like, help me.
I've been out here for so long.
Hey.
It's like they've been sunbaking with me sunscreen on for the whole life.
You spray this on, I air dry.
And then I just put a few waves in this morning.
It just makes your hair feel stronger,
thicker, shinier, but not too smooth.
It just feels like...
Heaven.
Does it have a fragrance?
Oh, God.
Here we go.
Because we have a last time.
Yeah, that's what I'm thinking about.
Yes.
But not a bad one.
Okay.
So, it's not pineapples or bananas or...
I'm going to say you're throwing it on there.
It looks like a tablet.
It says meruller oil.
I'll be the sense.
Yeah, check.
Kelly, is the one that reminds me that some products smell when I can't smell it.
It's just really lightweight.
I have very fine hair, but lots of it.
I can use it.
Absolutely fine.
It smells like herbal essence.
Okay, thank you.
Remember like that.
It's got hair smell, like hair product smell.
I thought you were going to say that's awful,
because she didn't like the pineapple or the banana.
Or the banana.
I couldn't even tell which one's which.
And she genuinely couldn't smell it.
And that was the last product you convinced me to purchase from Garnier.
And I was like, oh, we haven't.
Well, then I went home and smelled it.
And I was like, wow, that's a smoothie.
And a bit of an off one.
Anyway, see how I just spray it?
And then I sometimes just put it on the dry bits as well.
Just to kind of, because my dry bits want some dry go a bit dry.
It's cheap.
It's good.
You can get it pretty much hard for ice anywhere.
It's a big bottle.
I love it.
It feels like I've done nothing or put nothing in my hair,
air dry or heat dry.
And then it just feels like my hair's healthier.
Yeah.
It looks really good at the moment.
Oh, it's getting longer, isn't it?
I like it, but it's not too long that it looks scraggied.
Well, it does need a trim.
These bits feel like these of sweeteneds have sweeteneds.
And they're sweeteneds have sweeteneds.
And those sweeteneds have sweeteneds.
But they're friends.
Yeah, they're all friends.
They're just like breeding.
What's your say?
My Sabi is the kind to collective lip liner in shade nude.
I really don't vibe with a lot of more affordable lip liners,
because it's like a pencil that is really uncomfortable to drag across your lip.
It's just not nice.
It's a creamy one.
I do.
I'm very fussy with my lip liner, and I like them to be creamy,
but pigmented.
And long lasting somehow.
Well, no, I don't really,
because I don't find that most creamy lip liners are not long lasting.
I don't mind reapplying, though.
This is fantastic.
I would like to show you.
Please show me.
I'm very excited.
Is it that short?
Like, is it a mini?
Or have you been using it a lot?
Oh, it's quite a little.
I think it's a mini.
I mean, that's what you really need.
It's six grams.
I feel like that's actually pretty average.
A regular, like, longer one is eight.
So it's not like it's that much smaller, but it looks smaller.
It just doesn't have like a big, you know,
with a lot of the wind-up ones.
They're sneaking the length.
And you don't like it.
Yeah.
So it was five dollars as well.
Look at how creamy that was.
I can't see.
Oh, I'm so.
Oh, wow.
So I'll do another one.
Kelly, that's amazing.
That's so good.
Just so creamy.
And that, that's nude, but it's more pinky.
And it's like quite a strong pigment if you want it.
But then of course, you could just buff it out, though.
Oh, just feather, feather, feather.
Like I would do.
Exactly.
They're doing some really good stuff at the moment.
I must say I've been buying some on and off.
And then when I look at my little edit of what makes it,
from there to there to my makeup thing,
there's a fair few kind of collectives.
I did try mascara and it was rubbish.
Oh, good.
Those are not everything.
I'm trying to put it on my light.
Fantastic.
It's a makeup product.
Because they do this kind of serum-y.
No, anyway.
I like it.
So do I.
That's why I'm-
That's why it's my savey.
What is your spending?
Okay.
Well, tell me who can come across this product packaging
and not purchase it.
I mean, it came in a box, but similar, similar.
It is the L'Oreal Paris.
Like it says.
Ooh.
And it says Glasgow.
Oh, hello.
We don't love the term Glasgow.
And because it's not very realistic.
Well, it just means Photoshop, but-
Yes.
It makes me also think the products that make me juicy.
You make you juicy, shiny in a good way, smooth, glassy.
So, of course, I just went.
You know what?
I was in the chemistry warehouse.
It is the L'Oreal Paris Vidalift.
Filter Glasgow in liquid cream face moisturizer.
So it's a lotion.
Full price.
It's $50.99.
But it's 50 mil.
Because I assumed that was a serum.
And it actually feels like a serum-y moisturizer.
That's why I'm calling it a lotion.
Let me just show you.
Ooh, yeah.
So, the brand makes some pretty big claims of which I cannot-
Oh, oh.
Oh.
You like it?
I love it.
I knew it just even touched it.
Okay, can I throw it on?
I don't plan it, Paul.
Oi!
She does.
It makes a pretty big claim.
So I cannot back those up because I've been using it for five seconds.
I've been using it as a primer, but it is technically moisturizer.
So they say it deeply hydrates your skin up to 100 hours.
I mean, guys, there's only 24 hours in a day.
Yeah.
That seems like why are we only putting a moisturizer on twice a week?
Yes.
And visibly penetrates multiple layers to nourish below the surface.
Again, can't about to that.
Plump skin and smooth lines giving you a dewy glass skin.
Look, for sure.
I love it.
It's just light, right?
Absorbs quickly.
It gives you really good glow, not greasy.
Would you say there's a tiny bit of pearlescent in there?
No.
It just gives it also a glow.
I use this as a serum.
I've been using it as a primer.
Oh, beautiful.
That is stunning.
And I love the packaging.
Me too.
And you can touch it back.
Yes.
I don't know why, but I would also put it in the serum category,
which is why I was impressed that it's 50 mil.
Most face creams are 50 mil.
Most serum is 30.
But so for the price, for what I would probably call a serum, it's good.
But you could also, if you were oily, like top oily,
that would be such a nice moisturizer because it's so nice and light.
Totally.
So I've been doing serum sunscreen and then this as a primer,
but it's also sort of hydrating.
Oh, great idea.
Great idea.
Yeah, that's beautiful.
And one more tip.
I just sometimes, if I need, like a refreshing on my, my clothes,
we do quite dry at the moment.
I then just do a little bit of this and do that,
that before I finish my makeup.
Oh, beautiful.
Oh, I love it.
Just that juiness.
Yes.
I'm proud of both of those.
It's quite affordable.
You just spend it quite, spend it to bring it home.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
I did your face.
Yeah.
I got it.
Oh, what?
The Gucci blushes.
They're new.
They are.
Hold on.
I think I actually brought two.
I've seen one of them and they're like scaring it.
Oh, they're not, yeah, they're not actually.
They're not Lee Campbell type blushers.
The one that's like a rosy pink is, that one's really beautiful.
One of them's like a burgundima loan.
I know, it's so fun.
Listen, no one needs an $88.
Yes, $88 from my out.
Blush.
But you know what?
It's fun.
You're a Gucci collector, like a connoisseur.
I love, like most people cannot afford luxury item bags and shoes
and belts.
Or if they do, it's like something very special that they might purchase every now and
then.
Yeah.
These still are not everyday items that you purchase all of the time.
Yeah.
But there is something that makes you feel so special.
Yeah.
Looking at that makes me happy.
The packaging is so beautiful.
It's stunning.
And it's heavy.
It's compact.
Like having this in your bag, you feel special.
What a gorgeous gift.
It's a treat to yourself and it is such a nice gift.
Yes.
In terms of the formula, it's everything that you would want, is that just your favourite
shade ever?
Is that for a dress-up party?
Like an 80s one?
I have it on right now.
Oh, well, you've done amazing.
I just didn't use too much.
I didn't do a Kelly with it.
Well, you're not actually wearing as much blush as you normally would.
Do you look great?
And you always look great.
But to look at that in the pan, that looks like a hardcore pink 80s eyeshadow.
But it's not.
Oh, yeah.
Well, I mean, this is a new finger, but I get it.
But it's not like as intense.
It's not as intense as what an eyeshadow would be, but the pot, like the little pan looks
really full of.
Yeah.
But so in terms of the formula, it is what you would expect an $88 blush to be.
It's not powdery.
It doesn't go cakey on your skin.
No.
It is pigmented.
Very fine.
A real from what I can see.
Pardon?
Very finely milled.
Exactly.
I mean, it has got the not shimmer, but the pearl essence.
Yeah.
So it's too much beautiful.
Luminous on your cheeks.
It is exactly what you want from the formula, but like I said, no one needs.
The $88 blush.
We put a tiny bit on me after.
Yeah.
It is a beautiful gift, either to yourself or for someone else, because it's a Gucci blush.
Yeah.
It's a Gucci blush.
It's just so special.
Check yourself.
But don't go into depth.
No, don't.
Well, please don't.
So is it the lipstick effect?
Like, you can't afford use.
But like most of us cannot afford a Gucci bag.
No.
But we can buy little blush.
That's really pretty.
Is that the wearable shade?
No.
They're all wearable.
Sorry.
That's a very personal opinion.
Yes.
All right.
Well, I'd like you to apply it to me, because I've gone off the blush train.
Oh, no.
It's a scary train.
I need to slow down.
I was going too fast.
Right.
So coming up after the break in Newbies.
We both have makeup.
We both have makeup.
We both have makeup.
Well, I only bought four because I didn't bring more.
Well, I only purchased four because I was trying to restrain.
And I thought four products from a new collection was relatively generous to myself.
Generous to myself.
Quick question.
Are you tired of the news?
Do you want a podcast that isn't self-improvement?
Come get unleashed.
It's funny.
I also think that underwear is sort of almost like a new marriage.
Like it starts off.
It gives you the best of what it offers at the beginning.
It's unhinged.
I have a bit of a thing for my friend's husband, Salami.
Hello.
It's not here to teach you anything.
I need to make sure he looks at me.
One side I'm going to make a sign.
This is what I married because I didn't meet you in time.
Yeah, right.
The other side was pointing to my son who's 12.
Look what we could have had Lewis.
I love it.
It's a good time for Gen X.
So search Unleashed wherever you get your podcasts.
New episodes every Tuesday.
Hey, newbie.
So anything else?
It's new.
All right.
Which makeup are you now?
Did you purchase?
I'm quite excited.
So number seven UK's biggest skincare brand has got makeup
and has had makeup overseas for a really long time.
We got the skincare here.
I want to say three years she's ago now.
Maybe a bit more.
Number seven is affordable, but they have so much money
that they can do really cutting it, probably from us buying it.
Cutting edge, you know, of the minute R&D.
It comes to skin care and ingredients.
So their products are phenomenal.
And you don't have to pay a lot of money.
Anyway, of course they've got makeup.
So it launched on price line.
I'm not kidding.
I don't know why I literally was on the price line website.
And I sort of basically could see them load it.
It was just like that.
And then it was like appeared.
And then when purchase purchase purchase purchase.
Yeah.
And they had a really good discount for their sister club members.
So I was like, right.
So what did I get?
First, I got the pro artist soft glow cream bronzer.
There's two shades.
I got light glow.
The medium glow is quite medium, like not good for me.
I was about to say that does not look light.
Chanel vibes, right?
It's beautiful.
It's really big.
Like cream bronzer.
The decanter in me really wants to decant this.
This is the way to be.
Please don't.
Well, I did the Chanel.
I scooped my solell, whatever, in two little tubs.
I've only just touched it with my fingers because I tried to save it
for the Yubis, but I caught it.
You had to swatch it though.
Oh.
It's so creamy.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
That is not beginner beginner, but it's very blendable.
You've got a lot of working time.
So I could make that work.
And of course, Kelly could use this because she's a bloody pro.
Well, I probably didn't need any more, but I just wanted to play with it.
Would you like to do that?
No, I can say it.
I don't want to get messy.
Oh, it's beautiful.
I bought wipes.
Oh, you did too.
Okay, let me just do a wipe before I put a beautiful cream bronzer
all over.
Let me just show you how big it is.
That is among us.
They expressed you and you never go through it.
No, unless you use it like all over body makeup,
you'll probably have that on your deathbed.
Kelly and I both really enter our wipes at the moment.
Well, we need them because otherwise we end up with makeup,
but we don't want to put it on the fentined fentined.
Sometimes I swatch at home and forget, and then I'm like,
doing this and doing that.
The walls got bloody everything.
And then you blame it on Alexander and Richie's like,
No, Alexander, stop.
Stop with the purple eyeshadow.
Then I have tried this, and I love it, because I figured
the UVs can't really tell if I've used it yet.
Plus, also, it doesn't have to be unused,
but I just tried to save it for the first time.
The number seven pro-artist base perfecting primer.
There's a couple of primers.
This is not the one for oily skin and pores,
but I just, the description got me.
Is it more for Kelly?
It's more for Kelly.
Oh.
I know.
But it's also blurring.
So it's also for me.
It's for everyone.
Okay.
It's so nice.
Oh, I've just rubbed it all over me like it's a more stressed out.
That is lovely.
Okay, that is heaven.
Okay, I lied.
I've also used the mascara because I had to decide.
No one lied.
Because on Monday, I said,
I'm going to tell you all about a new tubular mascara.
Oh.
Yeah.
Number seven pro-artist.
That's a wrap tubular mascara comes in black, comes in brown.
Oh.
Juicy.
It's good.
Really good working time.
It's a rubber brush which I prefer over a bristle,
particularly if you're working with a tubular,
because polymers in a tubular are kind of like a plastic.
So that makes sense.
Yes.
Friends with a plastic wand.
And last but not least,
oh, the Lepliner.
Well, actually, now I'm scared,
because you have such high-liners standards.
Oh, no.
What happened?
I've got an empty box.
Do you really?
Oh!
I take it back.
Guys, sorry.
I don't know why I packed the box.
It's very MAC-esque packaging.
Isn't it cool?
There's a bunch of...
Not all of it, but that looks like it.
No.
There's a bunch of shades.
I have no idea what shade I bought.
I do.
It just doesn't say it on here.
Come on, guys.
Anyway.
I will find out and it'll be in the show notes.
I'm scared.
What if you don't love it?
And what I'm pressing so much.
I'm really worried.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
See, that's beautiful.
Oh, okay.
Now I just pressed really hard.
I don't know why you had to draw it.
You could have just done one line.
I missed a squiggle.
But, yes.
I saw how blendy and creamy that was.
How was it?
I want to impress you with my lip liner.
And what are you doing?
Oh, now I'm putting it on my lip liner.
Why are you squiggling?
Oh, okay.
Anyway, there's a whole bunch of products in the range.
Take a look on price line.
How much?
Oh, yes.
Let me tell you the prices.
How could I forget that part?
So, the cream bronze up full price is $38.99.
I've got a sister cup discount.
I'm sure we'll go on sale soon.
The Chippewa mascara 35, the primer base is $38.25.
So, not super cheap.
But, like, it's from a skincare brand.
And it's not also go on special because.
Totally.
And I think also, yes.
It's like, it's a premium brand.
The makeup has been around for so long overseas.
Of course, they've launched new things.
But when I went back online to research surprises.
Some of the things have already sold out.
Like, there's a huge gap around it.
And I just like it when there's a hype from something that's not mecca.
Not that I don't love mecca.
But, you know, we can all get to a price sign.
It might not be as glamorous.
But affordable brands need hype too.
Exactly.
All right.
I may keep going with my arms.
Mine's even more affordable.
Stop it.
I know.
So, do you remember...
Pony.
Yes.
I've clickbaited everyone on Monday.
Pony Cosmetics have had a rebrand.
Stop what you have.
Well, not only they've had a rebrand.
They've completely redone the entire line.
I'm pretty sure they didn't do that many products before.
They did the white night to mascara.
Yes.
And they did something for eyebrows.
And the packaging was relatively dirty.
But the products were good.
The products were amazing.
And they were...
They were expensive.
They were also mid-tier prices.
Yes.
I would say.
Well, they have had a glow up.
What?
Everything is like $7 to $12 from Woolworth's full price.
Stop it now.
Yes.
They haven't directly copied anyone's packaging to try to sell everything.
But everything is really cute.
That packaging.
That packaging.
So cool.
And I love the deep burgundy.
The deep, but the blue, the pink.
Oh, wow.
Everything is so fine.
Did you know it was the other, the old pony?
To be fair, I'm actually just assuming that it is.
Yeah.
Okay.
Well, there you go.
But like, if not, it's a cool brand.
I appreciate it.
Well, it's a pony with an eye.
Unless there's a copy of this.
Yeah, that's very niche.
And like, I feel like we trade marks.
It's definitely the...
We're going to go without.
And if we're wrong, we're just going to...
That's all the ponies.
Apologies to all of the ponies.
So this is base game primer.
Oh my god.
I don't want to touch it.
Well, I do want to touch it.
Well, everything's really sticky.
And we're very far away from each other.
But later when you put my blush on.
Is it one of those grippy primers?
Yes.
Oh.
But it's also like just nice and juicy.
Okay.
Not too greasy.
This one is the blush, our cream blush.
Like just really, that's the one that was going to be now polished.
But like, look at how cute that little packet is.
How do people still come up with unique branding?
And the cut...
Like, look at how juicy.
Stop.
I'm going to wall worse right now.
It's just so fun.
I think that...
Do you love it?
Do you love it at the wall worse in the city?
I mean, I know you don't work there.
I'll check.
But I want to go.
And maybe there's liquid eye liners.
Oh my god.
There's the faux lash mascara.
This is the...
Tubular.
It's not...
Well, actually, does have a tubular thing.
It looks tubulary.
It looks tubular too.
But we cannot also vouch for the tubular mascara formula.
But we assume so.
And we will report back.
Okay.
This morning, I used the...
Oh no.
The lids come up.
What have you done to me?
The eyebrow pencil.
I am so obsessed with the burgundy wine color.
It's the proper, like...
It's slanted.
Oh my god.
What?
Only fancy brands have a slanted edge.
And the yellow text on the...
Whoever did your branding, Tony?
This is the most recent...
This is my most...
This is my most...
A favorite, my most favorite.
Affordable...
Rebrand.
Rebrand slash launch of...
Twenty-six months.
Okay.
Well, yeah.
I mean, my claim was big up.
Twenty-six.
Nothing.
No budge brow gel.
Cloudwip lip butter.
This shade is mocha.
Everything is fantastic and so affordable and...
And super unique.
Yeah, super cool and unique without copying anyone else.
Our friend Amy Clark actually wrote a full review, testing every single product in the
range for Mama Mia.
So we will make sure that we pop that link in the show notes if you want to read.
The Strupless Brother stays put or wire free support that actually supports.
That is Nala.
They do the inclusive sizing, A to J, wire free support and straps that stay put past 3pm.

Shut my stash!
Lee just spent 10 minutes rummaging, we call her the crazy bag lady because she always has
10 bags.
I have to bring things.
So do I.
You do have to do nothing to wear as well.
But anyway, she spent 10 minutes rummaging to try to find her empty vessel, even though we were sitting
here going, but it's empty.
It had a teeny tiny nail scraped bit worth left in the corner that I could have put on.
But we also believe you that you did finish it.
I'm more sad that it's over.
It's the Innika Lip Mask.
It's $55.
Innika is like a natural organic makeup brand.
I never read packaging.
I was just like, this is the thickest and most nourishing, barrier, beautiful lip balm.
It's not used as a lip mask.
Who follows the rules?
No.
Little glass pots are really weighty.
Yeah.
Did have a few dents in my glass pot, but it never cracked.
Well, that's what's important, isn't it?
Like, I literally took it everywhere with me to the point then when you were just saying,
you don't need to show the UBS on YouTube.
I was like, but I don't have it with me.
Yeah, it was more so I think that you were like, but wait, where did I put my little pot?
Yes, because it did still have a bit in it.
It had probably...
That is annoying when you...
Yeah.
And, you know, I very, rarely fit, particularly lip glosses or lip balms.
They're impossible to finish.
It's a little pot and it's so, like, it's like one of those really firm men's hair waxes
because it's so firm and dense.
And when you put it on, it's so waxy and stays there forever.
It's not a lip plumper because of the texture.
It just makes your lips feel...
And it's just so nourishing.
You will put it on at night, wake up in the morning and go, damn, what did I put on?
I just loved it.
I've had cracked sides of the lips completely fixed that.
It smudged it on my nose sometimes.
Sometimes it just set my brows.
I'm just really sad I'm without it.
It's $55 worth every cent.
And I had had it for quite some time before.
I say that about the image skincare.
With that expensive lip product.
They're just roughly the only fine something that actually works.
Especially for things like craft wax.
And this is quite waxy.
It doesn't have a lot of shine.
But it's just...
It's like one of those very few things you put on going, oh my gosh, it's doing something.
Yeah.
Thank you for soothing and protecting me.
For the last.
It's okay.
Come to me and I just thought I would have the final goodbye.
You'll probably find it as soon as we finish the episode.
Excellent.
What is your...
Shop my stash.
Well, last month I had a facial and I was lying there enjoying it.
Enjoying myself.
Just like...
Feeling yourself.
And she used this one product that I just thought to myself.
My, my, my.
What on earth are you using on my face right now?
Because it felt...
Like not an oil, not a serum.
It just felt beautiful.
And she was using it to massage into my skin.
And I just...
You know, when you just fall in love with the texture of something, you smell of something.
Anyway, it was over.
And I said to her.
It was sadly over.
And I said to her Meg.
Her name was Meg.
She was lovely.
I said, what was the product that you used?
And I'm counting in my head.
And I went...
Second to last.
Oh, wow.
And she was like, okay, that's specific.
Yeah.
Because she...
You know, that you saw me products.
And you didn't ask at the time because you were like trying to relax.
I was in my state of zen.
I think she potentially...
My aura ring thought that I was napping.
Oh, cool.
That's how low my...
That was how low my heart rate was in a relaxed state of zen.
I took a photo of her because I was like, okay, I'm going to go home and order it later.
And then I got home and I thought, hurry up and tell me I'm dying to know.
Before I order this product, we had a little...
Don't have a little look-see.
Yeah, come in.
I had it.
And I, at the time, had been like...
I hadn't given it away, but I was like, oh, Claire, at some point in the line.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, good to say, Kelly.
Sometimes you really do need to try.
I can't see.
This is the Aveda Advanced Botanicals Kinetics Vitality Serum.
Ooh.
Aveda products are stunning.
Often falls off the radar.
Not off the radar.
It really does.
Because it's a tried and true for so long.
It doesn't get that new hype.
But it's so good.
It's $105 for 30 mils.
Yeah, 30 mils.
What does it do?
You know what?
It's an everything serum.
It's just like hydrating, plumping.
Ooh.
Just smoothing out your skin and making it all look like textured and sad.
I love your face.
If people don't watch on YouTube, they're really missing out.
Because you're just so expressive when you're...
Look at you.
You're still doing it.
That's why, whenever I get anti-wrinkles, which isn't that often anymore,
I'm like, don't put too much in.
Yes.
If I need...
But you just...
Your emotions come across at your face when you're talking about it.
Well, there's just so...
You want it to do something.
I agree.
And that serum helps you not get the anti-wrinkle,
because you just look so gorgeous.
Well, I don't know if I could say that.
That seems like a claim that the tea gel would have a problem with.
But it's a really good all-rounder serum just for hydration
and it feels so good.
Because it's like in between a serum-y oil.
Oh, yeah.
It's just so good.
Which makes sense when she had massage time.
Like, there's a fair bit of sleep.
Like...
Oh, okay.
So good.
I'm just so good.
Anyway.
Because it's also glossy.
Yeah, and we know how that happens with me.
Anyway.
Well!
Oh, my gosh, that was a really good recommendation.
I feel like nothing was too well-linked expensive.
Like the Gucci blush.
But still, everything was, you know, under $100.
Ish.
Yeah.
