m. moisturizer which is very popular and great coming up too so make sure you stay tuned for that and I even did an entire video on why you shouldn’t trust supportive use and the major problem that reviews from Sephora are having right now so any of those things if you haven’t already seen them please go check them out and if you have already watched them thank you so much and thank you for your support all right I want to jump to new skincare that I have not talked about yet the first thing that I have really been loving is from fresh this is their soy face cleanser and this version of it is new it comes in a huge pump dispensing a bottle which I really like it’s so convenient to use this in the shower or next to your sink so they don’t have to you know undo a cap and dump it out or anything like this so this is a gel texture almost kind of like a milky quality gel textured cleanser it is very gentle and this is what I love to use in the morning when I just want to remove my natural oils and whatever skincare that I had on the night before this isn’t a cleanser that I think will be effective if you have sunscreen on or anything that’s stubborn or heavy like makeup eye makeup definitely not anything waterproof because this is a more gentle cleanser but it is a fantastic option if you want to use it in the morning or if you’re not trying to remove anything heavy it does not sting around my eyes it does contain several fragrant ingredients which normally I say no to in skincare but with cleansers I make an exception because it’s a wash off product the main scent that I get when I use this is cucumber and cucumber extract is included in here there’s also kind of like rose scented things but there’s a bunch of other great ingredients in here like not only the cucumber food extract but a lot of glycerin and aloe things that help to hydrate and are quite gentle for the skin so this has been great another skin care product that I think very highly of this is actually my second bottle of this toner it is by primeira and while I use it as a toner it is called the miracle seed essence and it says it will brighten and hydrate it comes in a frosted glass bottle with a twist off top when you get it in the box it also comes with cotton rounds they’re not round they’re in squares but it comes with several of those too but this it is kind of more of an essence I guess because when you feel it you can feel that it has a little more weight than a toner but it functions exactly like a toner it sinks into the skin it feels basically kind of like water and it doesn’t leave any sort of residue or film or anything that you can detect it is very nourishing very hydrating I love applying this both in the morning and at nighttime as the first step in my skincare routine after I cleanse my face and another skincare product I have been really enjoying this one is a new product by first aid Beauty this is called their eye duty niacinamide brightening cream it says it’s for sensitive skin and it does come in a jar like this it has an interesting it has like a jelly texture to it so if you remember when wet and wild released it geli line it pretty much has that kind of texture to it and the other very interesting thing about this product is that it has a luminosity to it I’ll show you so it goes on with a slight peachy tone and this kind of reflective quality that it has to it which does help visually brighten the under-eye area too it does not maintain any sort of like shimmer eNOS or metallic miss you’re not going to find any sort of like glitter underneath your eye at all it really just sinks into the skin it has a very hydrating nourishing formula while still being lightweight so I have really enjoyed this product I do perform prefer for most skin care products or even require for most skin care products that they not come in jars but with eye creams what I am actually looking for more is just the effect of keeping that area hydrated I’m already using my moisturizer all over my face including my under eyes but I in the daytime add an eye cream on top to give the extra boost of moisture underneath the eyes before I apply my concealer and makeup because otherwise I have kind of like crepey dry under eyes so this has worked beautifully it works beautifully under makeup it has nice and amide in it and has several other very good skin care ingredients in here too so this is a great option if you’re looking for a new eye cream it’s been a really good month for a new skin care that I have been trying out the next product is by clearance this is the Hydra essential balm and the tube looks like this and it’s a clear balm this is what I have had in on my nightstand and I use this every night since I received it used it every night at nighttime before I go to bed it is super nourishing it’s a balm that keeps your lips sealed it doesn’t have any color tint to it it is not thick and heavy and yet it does have that emollients that gives you that seal over your lips when you wake up in the morning your lips are super hydrated you still have that balm on the lips staying there keeping the moisture locked and I have really really really loved using this at night before I go to sleep and my lips are nice and plump in the morning so thank you to first day Beauty Clarins primeira and fresh for sending those items along it has made for a very good month of skin care oh I almost forgot I also have some new skin care from the company timeless now if you didn’t see it my video that I posted where I recommend my very best vitamin C products on the market I will link that in the upper right-hand corner for you to check out but spoiler alert if you haven’t seen the video and if you have seen the video already we would know that my absolute number one recommendation for a vitamin C product was by timeless their vitamin C serum and I purchased timeless with my own money put my own order in then the company reached out to me and they very thankfully sent me a box of some of their additional skincare items which I am very excited to try out so this is the box that they sent me I’m very glad to have another backup of this vitamin C serum because it’s so fantastic but in addition they sent along their coenzyme q10 serum which has their Matrixyl 3000 plus hyaluronic acid they also send one of their hyaluronic acid serums that also has vitamin C in it this one is their dark circle eye cream which also has hyaluronic acid and some sort of mixture that they make themselves and then they also sent their Matrixyl 3000 serum plus hyaluronic acid so I am very excited to try these out I need to finish up some other skincare before it goes bad but as soon as I am able to start testing these I absolutely will and I will let you know how I like these products and how well they work alright let’s move on to new makeup and since we mentioned clearance I’m going to mention the new makeup product from clearance that I’ve also been testing this past month this is one of their waterproof mascaras it is called the Wonder perfect mascara 4d waterproof comes in kind of a purpley blue tallip tube like this this is what the brush looks like kind of a little more on the skinnier side of brushes and shorter bristles this mascara definitely stays put under heat under sweat I wear this several time to several protests that I attended and it was hot it was sunny you’re of course walking around marching around and it stayed put I did not have any sort of issues with it smudging or flaking I will say that this is more of a lengthening mascara I ideally prefer a little more volume sore a little bit more like fanning out this one is a little more it lengthens it doesn’t give quite as much volume as I would ideally look for but it worked really really well and I enjoyed the eye looks that I got out of this and most importantly it resisted water and it really really really stayed put so thank you to Clarence for sending that mascara to a completely new makeup brand that I’ve never tested anything out before from and hadn’t even heard of until they reached out to me which I am very excited to introduce to you it is a brand called Odin’s eye this is a Swedish makeup brand they are an indie brand also and so they sent along one of their eyeshadow palettes and one of their highlighter palettes both of which I used the entire eye makeup look that I have on for this video was created using the eyeshadow palette and I know I’m gonna butcher this pronunciation because I don’t speak the language but it’s so Mon so main Sol M a and E with a little circle on top of the a the person who reached out to me describes that their goal is to create a dreamy and very like beauty product line at an affordable price range with great color payoff which in my experience from having tested these out I think is pretty consistent with what the products deliver so these palettes were launched in spring of 2019 the matte shades were very pigmented and lend it out well the shimmering shades the to which I use in this video or this one and this one here were pretty much predominantly the shimmer protocol I tend to prefer a little more of an underlying color with the shimmer on top but in pairing these two and just looking at this look that I got it’s absolutely stunning so I have really no complaints there I did get a little bit of fallout from use but nothing dramatic or drastic the formula sticks very well to the skin blends out really well so overall very impressed and then for the highlighting palette you get four different highlighting shades the top two are a little more refined highlighters and then the bottom two are much more metallic so here you can see the differences in texture up-close this is the shade that I used on my cheeks and it is pretty shimmery and glittery the glitter chunks are not large but it is more of a shimmer as opposed to like a work more finely milled highlight if that makes sense I really have enjoyed using both of these products this seems like a very fun independent brand they do ship to most places around the world so you are able to purchase them a lengthy website in the description box below for you to check them out moving on to nail products we have soyons newest collection you all know that i love Zoya one of my favorite nail color lines or brands this is their splash collection for a summer 20/20 and the color that I have on in this video is one of the colors from the collection a lot of you have been commenting on how much you love this color and it’s been in a couple videos now so far and you’ll probably see it in a couple more but it is this color called Maren so if you’re wondering what that was that’s from the new a splash collection by Zoe let’s go ahead and take a look at the rest of the colors in this line as usual they have a mixture of cream finish shades and also shimmering shades so pretty color is called Fisher and it’s like this baby blue with some greening gold shimmer so it is always really good at finding very interesting colors and here’s the other half of the collection I just they make such good colors this company makes such good nail polish colors again mix of metallics and shimmer and shades some of them are toppers and the cream finish shades and also included was a hand sanitizer by the company has 70% isopropyl alcohol so of course this is something that I will it’s very practical I will be using and is a nice addition to what they have available you can add it to your cart if you’re already purchasing some nail polishes or they may even have it included as like a free bonus if you buy a certain amount ok this next thing I’m going to show you has let me sleep so well the past three weeks or so and it is a pillow by the company u2 which was kind of like a Kickstarter type of product it’s huge so the pillow itself is pretty lengthy it’s like the normal the normal way this way but it’s a pretty long pillow this way now not only is this thing super extremely soft like cloud like I have already one set of pillows like this they’re like memory foam pillows that I’ve had for years that are very very soft and airy this is like twice as pillowy and cloud-like as these ones that I have here the other reason I show this to you is because you see how this dips in here I’ve used these for many years to help the neck position and to try to help with like tossing and turning but the issue was somewhat comfortable the issue always had with these is that this portion is a little too dramatic for my neck so it never was 100% comfortable this pillow on the other hand has a much more gradual and less extreme dip this happens to fit my neck positioning pretty much perfectly they do have different sizes so if you are of a different body type or you want different extremes of the heights and things like that you have options but this has been absolutely fantastic I cannot believe I mean I went into it just thinking oh it’ll be a nice pillow to have it’s very comfortable but I have slept much better while sleeping on this pillow then I have with my previous ones they are launching in just a few days on the 18th of June and they’re offering at the very beginning to give you half off so normally I think the pillow retails for about $100 if you are one of the first people to go and purchase on the 18th then you will receive it for $49 so if that all interest you if you want to get better beauty sleep then I’ll include the link below it’s not an affiliate link I don’t get any sort of kickback or anything like that but if that’s something that interests you all right that’s what’s Nia for June 2020 thank you
