hey guys so for today's video I have my August favorites and regrets I'm really
excited because this month I have a ton of favorites to share with you guys but
also I have a ton of regrets normally I only have like one or two maybe three or
four but this mug like I have a ton of regrets to share with you guys that I
just happened to not like during this month the first thing I want to start
off with is actually a kind of like health fitness favorite and this video
is sponsored by vanity planet and they were kind enough to send me the body
analyzer scale which I've been testing out for the past month and a half if you
follow me on snapchat then you know about this scale because I was like
raving about it so not only is it super sleek which I love because it lays
everything out on the screen from your weight to your body fat to your bone
mass to your muscle mass your water weight also get to set it for eight
different users so if you have a huge family and you want everyone to share
everyone gets to have their own profile I also find this scale to be really
really really accurate and consistent I had a scale previously that did measure
my body fat and it was 10% off and I could tell because it was telling me I
had 22% body fat and your girl does not have 22 percent body fat like let me
tell you that I'm currently losing weight you guys know I've already lost
like 30 pounds I do have a weight loss video on my blog channel a lot of you
guys since we're on this topic yeah a lot of you guys ask me all the time
about what I eat what I did to lose weight I have all those videos on my
vlog channel so definitely check out my vlog channel a messy no vlogs when it
does come to measuring body fat there's no way to be like specifically accurate
there's always every single method is always a little bit off but this is for
the most part pretty consistent and accurate which I love at the end of the
day - it's not so much the body fat percentage number that I care about it's
more of just watching it decrease and go down since I am losing weight whatever
your personal fitness goals are you need this guy to track I have a really
awesome deal for you guys for this scale you can get 60% off which is amazing so
I'm gonna go ahead and leave my link and code down below it's just Amy 60 if you
shop through the link that I leave down below so definitely check it out if you
guys are interested so moving into beauty favorites I have one hair care
product that I really want to you guys this is the bamboo smooth candy
dry oil mist this is the ultimate first control for medium hair types and it's
free of parabens and synthetic color so I really love this I actually was
watching Carly by Bell's recent favorites and I decided to purchase this
I really loved it helps keep my hair looking super duper shiny without having
to add too much extra oil because I do use a regular oil I've actually been
using the bamboo matching oil like the traditional one which I really love that
too so I always use that but then if I want
to give that extra shine to my hair I can't really add more like thick oil
because it's gonna look greasy so having this dry oil mist leaves the greasiness
behind but it still adds that shine and that healthy look alright so let's go
into makeup products the first guy I want to mention is this little guy right
here this is the Maybelline master chrome highlighter in the shade molten
gold I know everyone has been talking about this mine broke in the mail so
don't mind how super messy it is but I know everyone has been talking about
this and hyping it and that's because it's honestly the best drugstore
highlighter I have ever used the wet and wild ones are amazing and don't get me
wrong but there's something about this one and I think it's how wet it is like
when you apply it on the skin it's very smooth there's like no trace of powder
whatsoever in this powder it's a powder but it really does not perform and look
like one it looks wet and beautiful and it lasts really long on the cheeks it's
so gorgeous and this shade is amazing all I can ask for is for them to
honestly come out with more shades like please make a fair skin shade a deeper
skin shade different shades we need different shades because this
highlighter formula is so amazing you guys need to get your hands on this so
we're never kind of like highlighting the trick that I've been loving this
month is the Milani prime light primer you guys this is so so so good this just
gives you it really reminds me of Mac strobe cream this just gives you the
prettiest like strobe light underneath your foundation this works really well
with the matte foundation to look if you love matte foundations because you
really need it your makeup to last but you want it to look more healthy this is
a quick way to make it look healthy it just glows underneath and it
looks so good it's drugstore pricing and the packaging is so pretty too so I love
love love this another Milani product I've really been loving is the Milani
baked bronzer in Soleil I think I've mentioned this before but I've just been
really loving it this month it's the prettiest prettiest bronzer and has
really pretty specks of gold in it too so it just kind of looks a little bit
luminous on the skin so since we're on the track of bronzers this is the hoola
bronzer by Benefit now I've loved this for forever but I stopped using it for
it for a while and then I've kind of picked it up recently I really love
contouring with it when I do contour most of times I don't really contour I'm
just kind of like cream bronze and I use that as my contour um I've been doing
that lately but lately I've kind of been adding a little bit of an extra contour
but not only that I love this for the nose like I love this friend nose
contour and for boob contour I didn't contro my boobs today but sometimes I
really like if I'm wearing a push-up bra you guys saw my boob hack video then I
will contour my boobs and I love this it's just the perfect shade it's not too
warm but it's not too cool tone where it's gonna look too ashy and muddy on me
what I love about this too is when my tan is starting to fade and I'm more on
the light side I can actually bronze with hoola so I really love how
versatile it is it just depends what skin tone you are so I've really been
loving a cream bronzing you guys know this and I really have fallen in love
with the Rimmel insted duo contour Stix so many of you guys when I showed this
we're like oh my god that reminds me the k'kaw beauty and me too like as soon as
I saw these I was like never mind if k'kaw Beauty so I haven't minded that
shade medium and dark dark I really like to really add that extra definition and
I really like it underneath the eyes and medium I really love for bronzing and
also underneath the eyes and the nose a little bit underneath the lip what I
love about this is I love the shape of it so it's shaped really nicely it's
pointed so you can really get it underneath the eyes or use it on the
lips if you wanted it's just a really nice formula to blends beautifully super
pigmented but not overly pigmented they do come with a highlight shade too which
this one the highlights are super subtle like very very very natural and subtle
which is nice if you just want to soft suss off like super softly moving on I
have a couple products from the dose of colors
desi and Katy collection honestly this is like probably the best collection
I've ever gotten like I haven't been this hyped for collection in a while so
these I would say are my favorites that I've never been loving this month from
them this is the eyeshadow palette how beautiful are these I fell in love with
this gorgeous green when I used I think it's harpoon yeah so beautiful the
formula is really nice I used the shade harpoon wet on my finger I just dipped
my finger into water and oh you guys it is magical like these shades are so so
so beautiful so I also really loved Wego I think this highlighter is unique and
I'll tell you guys why it's a beautiful gold but it's not too yellow and it's
not too dark I feel like what's funny is I actually wore this when I was tan and
it didn't look ashy but then I wore it when I was like a lot paler than I am
now like I wore when my tan was very faded but it didn't look dark so this is
very versatile I feel like I mean I don't know how fair you would be able to
be to get away with this pretty much what I'm trying to say is I know some
gold highlights they're either too gold or too dark that you have to be very
medium skin tone to wear them like I have gold highlights that I don't wear
if I'm like light or pale this one it kind of works with both skin tones so I
really like that about it it's weird it almost builds very nicely like when you
apply it on the skin it looks like your skin but better but then if you layer it
up it just looks a very beautiful layered like it doesn't look heavy or it
doesn't look like you've layered power powdered highlight because that can be a
bad look I've done it before where I've like layered on too much powder
highlight and it literally looks like powder sitting on your skin it's not
cute but this doesn't get like that it's just like layers so beautifully imprint
I think it's a really unique formula I don't know what they did here but it's
magical and the gloss oh my god I really love the lipsticks but did the last you
guys the gloss like the gloss so damn beautiful it has the tiniest little
specks of gold it looks like super full coverage in the tube but once you
actually apply it on the lips it's the tiniest specks of gold it looks so
beautiful and glossy so this is kind of random but I really have fallen
in love with this this is the tweezerman and CUDA beauty eyebrows scissors I
don't know why that was like difficult for me to say anyways I love these
because of the shape of them they're like perfectly curved this gives me such
flawless brow trim a lot of the times I do trim my brow hairs just so that
they're not like messy and bushy and when I trim them with the straight
scissors a lot of the times it can just be a little bit difficult to maneuver
and with this literally easiest brow trimming session ever like it's just
perfectly shaped to sit on the top of your brows if you trim your brows like I
do you need this I'm telling you it's bomb I'm hoping they're still selling it
I don't think it was limited-edition either way I'll see if I can find a link
for you guys and leave it in the downbar so funny enough that's all for my
monthly favorites I want to move on to my monthly regrets so this is the hard
candy sheer envy bait brighten and set loose finishing powder that's a mouthful
and it's in the shade banana I believe so this powder I feel like I wasn't even
able to test out the formula because the color was so bad it threw me off it was
very very very dark so I feel like this is better if you have deep dark skin you
might actually love this but for me it just looked like I was wearing a dark
mustard yellow powder underneath the eyes and it wasn't knock you so next I
have the Ramon shake it first clump free Volume Mascara they went out of their
way to make a mascara that was so clump free yet it totally isn't like what I've
used it I was just like there's a lot of clumps in this it's very weird I mean
like I said this is a mascara that really markets themself to be not clump
free and they went out of their way to make this a clump free mascara and like
add the shaking and everything and it totally gives a lot of clumps so I'm
really not a fan of this either so this is the Marcel flawless skin fusion
concealer not good you guys didn't blend it out very nicely and I didn't enjoy
the coverage and I it has like these like little dots underneath the eyes it
just doesn't blend very nice not for actually funny enough for a concealer
that's called flawless it just wasn't very flawless also I was really shocked
that this was called fair like shade is called fair and you guys it
isn't not fair like this shade is a good concealer shade for me and I'm not fair
so I don't I yeah no comment moving on I have three eyeshadow
palettes that didn't work out for me this month the first one is the
Maybelline 24 karats nude palette this palette is just a bit inconsistent
that's why it kind of falls under the regrets section I think when it comes to
drugstore eyeshadow palettes I have such high expectations now because I love the
elf matte format and that palette is like amazing amazing amazing so I just
have such high standards for eyeshadow palette in the drugstore now especially
cuz I feel like the drugstore has really evolved and we're getting such amazing
quality products that I feel like there's just no excuse anymore they're
not as pigmented and blendable as I want them to be and there's not as smooth and
the shimmers just aren't as pigmented as I want them to be there's a couple
shades that are good a couple that aren't so just a inconsistency kind of
wears me away a palette from the Joker I really love to are the covergirl true
nakeds those are beautiful like the mattes blend beautifully super pigmented
the shimmers are very pigmented so I love those so next I have the infamous
infamous Anasazi a subculture palette I don't know what to say about this guy
like I love some I mean I love the colors it's so different and I love how
this I show up how it pulls me out of my comfort zone like it pulls me out but
not too far like it it pulls you out enough to experiment with other things
but it doesn't pull you out so much where you're like doing all these crazy
eye looks cuz that's just not my style so I just love love love that about it I
am gonna continue trying it out a bit more but I will say I just I'm not a fan
of the inconsistency in this palette the shade fudge really didn't blend out that
well and this shade right here really looked very muddy on my eyes so I'm just
not a fan of the inconsistency because some of the other shades were so
beautiful and this shade right here oh my god it looked amazing amazing so
pigmented of metallic on the lid so I'm just not a fan of the consist the
inconsistencies within the palettes that were released in general I feel like
Anasazi have such a big brand and they do so amazing that I think we all hold
them to such a high high standard so I think we were all just shocked by the
inconsistent palettes so last regret for the month
so sad to say but the Sephora Pro eyeshadow palette like I wanted to love
this you guys this is the warm one but the colors though it's also very heavy
packaging which I wasn't a fan of because let me tell you right now this
mirror is the highest quality mirror I have ever seen like I have never whoa
like even looking at you right now I have never looked into a mirror this
high quality in my life it is oh my god magical but it's so heavy that like if I
was to do my eye makeup it's like I might have like my arm is hurting here
these shades are so beautiful but I was so disappointed in how they blended like
they just don't blend that good like I was really shocked I don't know you guys
like I'm so sad I really wanted to love it but they just didn't blend out that
nicely you guys could actually see me try this and I think it was a full face
of first impressions oh I think it's the navy blue smokey eye I test this out for
the first time in the navy blue smokey eye tutorials check it out if you guys
want to see they just didn't blend out that good it kind of took like a lot of
work for me to really make them work which I don't really think they're worth
that because I think if this was like $85 Canadian so really pricey palette so
that is eight you guys I really hope you enjoyed watching my August favorites and
regret don't forget to Like thumbs up if you want me to continue doing these
every single month I am obsessed with monthly favorites and regrets I love
