Hello, everyone. Welcome back.
Thank you so, so much for joining me.
So today, listen, I give a lot of...
A lot of hate to TikTok.
Not hate, more like constructive criticism because
the platform is
questionable at times.
But listen, I'm trying to post more over
there, so if you're on TikTok, follow me.
I'm putting exclusive stuff on there that
I won't repost on Instagram, YouTube, etc.
But there have been some fails over on TikTok, but there's
also some good come out of it in terms of products.
A lot of products on TikTok go viral, right?
Usually it's brands being like, our products viral
and they just released it like the day before, you know?
It's such a misused word.
But what I wanted to do today, I want
to show you some products that have gone viral
on TikTok and are actually good and useful.
There's some really good drugstore
esque prices over there.
Yes, there's some high end, but two of the
things I'm going to show you today are very
affordable, but they come from brands that are also
incredibly affordable that I really like.
But I'll touch on that as we go through.
So let's get into it.
Subscribe if you haven't already, give this video
a thumbs up and let's do it.
Let's start with our first thing.
I've actually just used this already.
This is the Beauty Crop
Oui Cherie Gripping Primer.
Now, I saw this all over TikTok.
People, the thing on TikTok, people sell things a lot and
they're like, this setting spray and this, and honestly, I
was just seeing some random guys selling it, just, who
didn't do anything to do with makeup, sitting on his
motorbike like, yeah, get this primer.
It's like, you don't know. You don't know.
He didn't know.
His profile has nothing to do with makeup.
But because it's quite easy to make commission from it.
But that primer is really, really good.
If you like a really sticky primer, this
is going to be your best bet.
I find it a little bit more stickier than
like, Power Grip from Milk or the e.l.f one.
I think I've got the names mixed up there.
But it's also good if you have
a lot of texture on your skin.
So say your textured around the nose, say your
cheeks maybe have a bit of rosacea, or you
have something that foundation sits on the texture.
It's going to make a really good
barrier between your skin and the foundation.
So that is what's on my face
today, on my skin right now.
And on my brows, I will use a product.
The Unicorn Cosmetics Bear Brows.
I always see it online and it does really well.
Okay, let's go.
Let's start off with concealer.
This has kind of been everywhere more recently, and I
mean within the last week of me filming this.
This is the Iconic London... I forgot the name.
It's their new concealer.
Oh, I forgot the name.
Iconic London.
And it has on one side is like this crayon concealer.
Almost color corrector.
And then on the other side, we have what
I call like your normal concealer, like this.
Now, I used this already.
One thing I was really surprised about is how
building up these two products on top of each
other didn't create a lot of texture.
It's actually very, very lightweight
when you blend it out.
Just going to buff it in with this.
Oh, it's an Iconic brush, actually.
It's one of their angled ones.
And I'm just going to finish it up with my finger.
Look, that's just from the first step.
I forgot to put eye cream on.
And it still has, can you see
it still has like a nice bit of shine to it. I like it.
I like it a lot.
And then their normal concealer, I'm going to use on
top, just like small amounts in the areas, like the
pockets of my hollows, they've become pretty bad
recently, I've been so tired.
And pat into place.
I'm not going to take across the whole eye.
I'm just going to pat into those areas
where I need that little bit more.
I want to say help.
I love the way the concealer sits on the
skin, but also the way that primer, you can
almost feel it grip to the product.
Like the product still blends, but it
definitely has a hold of it.
When I'm doing my foundation, I'll show
you how I'm going to do it.
I'm going to pat a little bit
more, like pat it into the primer.
Next, the Haus Labs foundation.
You know, I love this foundation.
I have this in four different shades.
I have one for light for when I'm lighter
on camera, one for when I'm darker on camera.
And same lighter, darker for off camera, in real life.
Just because I need it. I need it. It's so beautiful.
It went viral for a reason.
Of course there are people that don't like it.
Like with every product, there's going to
be people that it doesn't work for.
Doesn't mean they're liars, doesn't mean the
people who like it are liars.
It's just not everything works for everyone.
So, as I mentioned, because that primer
is so grippy, I'm actually just kind
of pushing that foundation into the primer.
So you will get a more fuller coverage this
way, but you can just keep going round and
tapping until you get the desired coverage you want.
Also, a sponge will be fine at doing this also.
I got this spot right in this corner.
I don't know if you can see it.
It's so painful.
It is so painful.
Now, when you're pushing in your foundation like this, you
really do have to go over a few times or
it's going to get to a point where you accidentally
touch your face and leave a fingerprint.
This foundation, just the way it sits
on the skin, looking like skin. I just love it.
Next up, the Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Blush.
This went insane.
Like, everyone was going for this.
Going for it? Loving it.
I'm just going to do two dots like this.
And then somebody on TikTok told me to spray,
like, a hydrating mist and then tap it in.
Some of these are matte, and some
of these are like, a glowy one.
I believe this is matte.
So I take the 4-In-1
Hydrating Mist from Rare Beauty.
I have a fan on.
Not too wet. We don't want it too wet.
Blend this blush in, and honestly,
it just makes it look incredible.
Like, it melts it in with your skin.
It melts it in with the foundation.
I'm holding the brush quite high up,
I don't know why I did that.
And you just get this really beautiful, like look,
it looks like my skin.
It doesn't look like I've
just gone, like, here's blush.
But these went really viral because of the
pigmentation and how much color there is.
People were using, like, loads and load and loads and
loads, and it was, like, full on on their face.
I just love it.
Even like, the bright purple one looks incredible using this method.
I'm actually going to take
the blush a little bit higher up today.
Let's put it all around here.
Okay, we need to talk about... wait, what should I do?
Okay, let's talk about this.
The NYX Jumbo pencil.
This is just about going viral again.
Have they changed this?
I swear it used to be thicker and the
text was different, but this was early YouTube days.
Everyone was using this white one, mainly as eyeshadow primers,
which is what I'm going to use it for.
And a tiny bit on the face
to highlight to give really subtle highlights.
So if it's used correctly
and blended incorrectly, it's fine.
I haven't used this for such a long time, and I'm a
little bit worried because my eyelids are a bit dry, but I
used to use it as an eye primer all the time.
Oh, it actually feels kind of
a lot smoother than it used to.
It doesn't feel as dry as it used to.
I wonder if they've changed the
texture slightly or the formula maybe.
So it sits on skin a little bit
better and can blend a bit better.
That's going to be a good base.
Look. You know what?
It's so good, especially... I don't know why I
took it up to the brow like that, though.
Pure white as an eyeshadow base on
any skin tone makes such an incredible
primer for those bright, bright, intense colors.
To be honest, I actually don't find it much different to
my usual eye primer in terms of it being white.
This is actually a very similar
texture to my favorite eye primer.
Should we try and highlight a little bit with it?
I'm going to take my concealer brush that I use and
let's just do it in the lowest points of my face.
That's not bad.
Let's do it like here.
I don't want to draw directly onto the face because then
I feel like I'm going to have a line that is
going to be visible no matter how much I blend.
This is the side with it and this is the side without.
You can kind of see a bit of a difference.
I still definitely prefer it
just as an eyeshadow primer.
It's different. It actually feels different.
I remember the other one being quite dry
and a little bit of a...
Not... I wouldn't say difficult to use because...
ah, I have to get a sharpener for this now.
But it was quite dry, it was quite testing, whereas this one seems
a little bit more, seems a little bit more easy
to blend and a little bit more malleable.
Okay, let's finish this up.
I don't know if I have any of this left.
The One Size On Til' Dawn Setting Spray.
You know, I don't believe in
setting sprays as setting sprays.
I do believe in them as primers, though.
And this one, the mattifying one, has been one of
the best priming sprays I've used as an person...
As an person?
As a person with oilier skin, it's been absolutely incredible.
So I would do skincare, give this a
good shake and then spray it all over
my face until my face is wet, drenched.
Then I'll take like a fan and dry it
like a handheld fan, or just flap my hands
and dry it so it's completely dry.
So we can make that barrier
between the skin and the oil.
And between the skin, the oil, and the foundation.
We're stopping the oil from coming through.
But a lot of the time I do go on with this after just to
make my skin look a little bit more healthier.
I'm kind of over being completely matte at
the moment because I look a bit crispy.
I look a bit crispy when I'm
matte, to be honest with you.
Sounds like there's a lot in there, but I kind of want
to save it for a time when I really, really need it.
I have ordered another one, but you
never know when it's going to arrive.
Okay, so that was my full face or not
really a full face... ish. I haven't done my eyes.
Of products that went viral on TikTok that
actually actually deserve to go on TikTok.
No hyping them up for no reason.
No pretending they're like God's gift to planet Earth.
Like, none of that.
Just they are genuinely good products that actually
work the way they are supposed to work.
