- Hey guys, it's me, Kalley with a K and a Y,
your favorite beauty vlogger.
Oh, me?
I'm just kidding.
Your favorites might have more experience
or subscribers, or sponsorships or partnerships,
maybe even a real ship, I don't know.
I don't have a ship, I can't compete with that.
All I can do is try to give you real,
truthful, and honest reviews of products
that I think are going to change your life.
Today's video is my first ever sponsored review
of this exclusive new at-home chemical peel kit
from SOUS Skincare Essentials.
That's right, I'm going to be giving myself
a chemical peel at home.
So they reached out to me, they're this cool new startup.
They asked if I would do a tutorial and review
of this product, which I was super excited about
because I don't have that many subscribers yet,
which I'm working on.
I'm kind of like one of the first people
who's able to even try this product.
I think I got kind of like a little like a misprint,
just no big deal but like her face
is a little like (groans), you know?
Oh my god, I completely forgot to say,
I don't have any foundation on, it's a mess.
So if we just take a little looksie here,
hyperpigmentation and rosacea on my cheeks,
fine lines on my eye area whenever I make an expression,
my forehead is another story,
I mean take a look at this.
It would be amazing if this peel could just
get rid of everything.
I can't wait to start sharing this with you.
(blows kiss) I love you guys.
(upbeat music)
Hey guys, it is application day.
I am super excited to get going with this.
Again, sorry, no foundation.
But obviously can't put a peel on over foundation
so I need to be au natural.
There's no instructions on the product,
but I've been emailing with SOUS myself
with the really sweet rep.
They've given me everything I need to know.
Let's get going.
Step number one, make sure that you have gloves on.
You don't want your hands to peel,
unless you have acne on your hands,
in which case like I can't help you.
And then we are going to take our product.
Whoo, very powerful chemicals in there.
I don't have quite the formula for you yet,
I just know it's powerful, and 'cause that's what you want
'cause that's what will work.
Then we're gonna take this cute little fan brush,
dip that in here.
Careful there's not like excess drips.
That was a little bit of an excess drip.
(calm music)
Okay, whoo.
Give it a few minutes to wait.
Okay, so it's only been about a minute and a half.
I feel like my face is getting really tight
and I see there's actually quite a bit of redness,
so I think I'm gonna neutralize now
so that is what the neutralizing cream is for.
Should've done this a little bit earlier actually.
Whoop, rub that all over where you applied the peel.
Gosh, that is a tricky little bottle here.
I'm actually just gonna use it like this.
It feels so nice.
It's like a ketchup bottle.
When you pat the sides of ketchup bottles
like a little baby's butt, comes out a little better
but that's almost not even happening here.
I'm gonna go put some more of this on
and then I'll talk to you guys tomorrow.
Hey guys, so quick change of plans.
I'm actually gonna run out and get some coconut oil
because the rep said that that is pretty similar
in like formula to what the neutralizing agent is.
I actually ran out of the neutralizing agent.
I don't know if that's just 'cause
maybe I'm like, might be just like a baby.
Yeah, I kind of need some more of that,
'cause this is just sort of itchy
and starting to feel a little bit intense.
But I think that's kinda normal,
so I'm gonna go grab some of that,
and I will let you guys know how things are later.
Okay, bye.
One other thing, oh, I got my coconut oil.
One other thing I did want to say
is you're not supposed to go out in the sun with this.
I'm obviously in the sun right now
but I think it should be fine
because it's just a short little walk
back to my apartment and it's like
a 10 minute walk, walking fast.
I think it should be fine 'cause I'm gonna be
neutralizing more, some extra neutralization,
I think it should be okay, so,
but I just wanted to tell you
'cause I'm always trying to be honest with these things.
All right, I'll check in with you guys later
when there's some progress.
Hey guys, so it's actually only about
like 10 hours later.
There's obviously been some like really incredible progress.
So what's happening right now is a lot of bad stuff
is starting to come to the surface, like crustify.
A really, really crazy thing is that
there's actually stuff that was like
hiding underneath my skin.
Oh my god, my bangs look crazy, I'm sorry.
This section over here, like honestly
I think that's just like pores
that I didn't even know were clogged.
Yikes.
Main thing is just like keeping it clean
and like making sure you're not picking at stuff.
Oh, oops, that's, should've cleaned that up before.
I just have like a little bag of things
I'm keeping in here.
I will check in with you guys later, good night.
Hey guys.
I definitely don't want to sugarcoat things,
things are definitely feeling a little tender today.
Everything is like definitely activated.
It's for sure crustified as we said,
but I know that it's at the point
where the new skin is like starting to form underneath.
(gags) Sorry.
Sometimes that like loosens things up a little bit.
I got one.
Just wanna make sure that you're not actually like
just sitting there like peeling it.
Going a little stir crazy.
It's kind of a nice weekend but like,
this is all gonna be worth it.
Probably the most disappointing update
that I could even have imagined.
SOUS Skincare no longer wants
to do this sponsorship with me.
They, you know, basically want to call the whole thing off.
Their email addresses are no longer functional.
Now I can't get in touch with them,
I feel like they quit on me, you know?
They're trying to blame me, but maybe I have
like kind of sensitive skin.
I think that I just have a more intense healing process
than we were expecting.
I'm sorry, I'm trying not to let my emotions get,
I think I'm just, I haven't been sleeping.
It's pretty rude of SOUS Skincare to give up.
I never give up, I stay positive,
even when things seem tough.
I move forward and I keep doing it.
Abandoning the project is the worst thing that you can do.
SOUS Skincare made a mistake,
I think they made a big mistake.
I do this for you, for my followers,
you guys are my everything.
I'm gonna finish this video without them
and finish this peel.
They're gonna regret not choosing me
to be the sponsored face
of SOUS Skincare's Brilliant Reveal Chemical Peel.
