- This is like the weirdest feeling in the world.
There's definitely something going on right now.
Am I obsessed?
(deep bass music)
- Hi, my name is Tahirah,
and today we're gonna be trying
10 things that Lili Reinhart has recommended.
- When I think about Lili Reinhart,
I don't really have an opinion on her.
She's been great in everything that I've seen her do.
- I feel like I'm one of the few people
who kept watching Riverdale past the whole farm arc.
I especially love when she played dark Betty.
- I was obsessed with Riverdale.
- I am interested in seeing if her recommendations work
for somebody who looks completely different from her.
It's one thing to give advice or recommend products
to people from your same demographic
but how do these work across the board?
- Let's try this out.
Let's get started.
So first up,
We have the Beyond Perfecting Super Concealer.
Now look at this.
I got some issues.
I got some issues under my eyes.
It's supposed to be 24-Hour wear, camouflage,
'cause this is allergy tested, 100% fragrance-free.
- It say it's fragrance-free but I smell some.
That's not nothing.
- Ooh, that's a lot, woopsies.
Whoa.
- I prefer for my concealers to have a doe foot applicator,
I feel like they just make it really easy.
The whole squeezy thing, like, look I'm messy,
things get all over the place,
I have concealer on me right now.
- Okay, see with my fingers it's a lot easier,
not 100% my fave, but also I don't hate it.
This is a great light coverage.
I'm just gonna go to the grocery store,
pack on some concealer and call it a day.
- I think it's doing what a concealer does.
I wouldn't say that it's full coverage.
Based off of that, I would say that I would toss this.
- I would keep this one.
- The Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Powder Duo
in the shade ebony.
She did an interview with byrdie.com
talking all about her beauty secrets
and she said that this is one of her favorite products.
- Whoa! This is very dark.
- I tend to use something like a brow gel,
so I'm a little bit nervous
to see how this is gonna work for me.
- I don't know what I'm gonna use for this.
- I literally don't understand how this works.
Is anything even on here?
Oh, okay, okay.
- I think I'm gonna start off with the lightest shade.
If I'm applying this wrong, please don't come at me,
I've never used this product before.
- Is this doing something?
Do y'all see something?
I actually really like this.
Minimalistic makeup has been super in right now
so I've been just going with a lighter hand
when doing my makeup,
my brows can sometimes still be sparse
when I just use a brow gel
so I think this would be really cool to fill it in.
- Anastasia brow products I always go to,
even if Lili Reinhart didn't recommend this,
I would still keep it.
- I realize that it just gave me
this really nice fluffy look.
This also only took me five minutes which means a lot to me.
Okay, Lili, you might be on to something.
This is a keep y'all.
So the next product is the
Covergirl Lash Blast Clean Volume mascara.
- One of my favorites.
I've never used the clean one before though.
- Lili is, I think a brand ambassador for Covergirl
so she promotes this on her Instagram all the time.
- Covergirl Lash Blast was actually
the first mascara I ever used.
- I haven't used Covergirl mascara
since I was in like middle school.
- I've never used a clean formula mascara
but if this is what it's like,
I honestly wouldn't be able to tell the difference.
- I don't really like this applicator.
I feel like it's a bit too thick,
thinner applicator's allow you to really get
into curly lashes and like lift and bring them out.
I feel like this is kind of just coating them.
I hate how it's clumping on the end of my lashes.
- Yo look at that length. Oh yeah!
And it kind of makes you feel good inside
knowing no bunnies were hurt in the process.
- The packaging is cute.
Covergirl's a classic, but we're gonna toss this.
- She promotes products that
enhances one's natural features
and so far I have loved everything
that she's been promoting and that she told me to buy.
- The last makeup product that we're gonna try
is the Mac Satin Lipstick and this is in the shade Brave.
Lili did a Vogue 'get ready with me' video
and she actually used this lipstick in that video.
- The signature Mac Lipstick,
look at how gorgeous.
Oh, this is a beautiful color.
- I don't wear a lot of lipstick,
I'm a lip gloss girl.
So I'm gonna go in with a regular brown lip liner,
outline my lips and then put this in the center.
It's like my lips, but pinker, which isn't a bad thing.
- Very natural.
This is a color that I think could go great
with a night look and great with a daytime look.
And 'cause with a daytime,
it looks kind of like a little natural pinkie.
- I like things to feel like gentle and light on my lips,
that are easy for me to remove later
so I do really like this formula.
Can I keep and toss?
Toss this shade, maybe another shade
I feel like I would really love.
- Lips approved.
So I'm in the car, I'm gonna go pick up Taco Bell
that Lili Reinhart orders.
Hi. Can I get a medium Mountain Dew please?
And then can I get three soft tacos
with seasoned beef and cheese,
no lettuce or tomato.
And then can I get some chips please?
Thank you.
- How are you not gonna get no lettuce,
no tomato, no nothing?
No sauce, no hot sauce, no salad side, nada.
Just beef and cheese.
- I'm home.
We're gonna eat this Taco Bell,
I'm gonna start off with the Mountain Dew
because I'm terrified of it.
I don't think I like Mountain Dew.
I don't remember the last time I had a mountain Dew.
- It's fine.
It's not my soda of choice.
- I don't really like soft tacos but we're here!
It is very good.
I'm kind of mad she doesn't like tomatoes in them though.
- I'm not a beef hater, I'm just not someone
that naturally gravitates towards beef,
unless it's oxtail because I'm Caribbean.
She does get points for soft tacos
because hard tacos are disgusting.
- Let's try the chips and the cheese.
(chips crunching)
My stomach is not gonna like this today.
I'll approve this order.
- In general, it's a toss.
- I'm tossing the Mountain Dew,
there's just something kind of off about it.
- So the product I'm gonna try is
the Dermalogica Clear Start Blackhead Clearing Fizz Mask.
- Allow three to five minutes to fully activate,
rinse thoroughly with tepid water
and follow with the recommended Clear Start product.
- Oh, that's not what I was expecting.
It smells like shaving gel.
- Oh, it smells really good,
it smells like eucalyptus.
This is very interesting, I've never used...
Oh, is the product already...
I have never experienced a mask
that you apply like this before.
It's already fizzing.
- Okay, it's fizzing.
I look ridiculous.
It's literally tingling.
- Oh my God. It's like tingling my skin.
Oh my God.
- Wait! I feel like I can hear it.
What is this?
It's like expanding foam.
- It feels so weird.
(classical music)
- I don't think I need an entire product
dedicated to just blackheads,
like I just personally don't think I have that many.
And my Dermalogica other exfoliant that I use
gets rid of my blackheads pretty well.
She's cute, but she's a toss.
- I definitely wanna keep it.
It felt very soothing,
especially towards the end of the fizzing.
I could definitely smell eucalyptus
and I could feel it on my face.
- So the next product I'm gonna try out
is also an exfoliating product.
This is the St.Ives Radiant Skin scrub
with pink lemon and a Mandarin.
This is really cute.
- So Lili Reinhart actually made her own
in the NYC St.Ives mixing bar,
this isn't the exact one but this was like the closest one.
I think I'm gonna use this when I shower.
- It smells like candy, which I love.
I feel like this definitely could be something
that I would use in the morning
to just make you feel like so refreshed.
The beads aren't as big as I thought, which is a good thing.
- Honestly, the smell was really nice.
It didn't feel very irritating.
The beads in the scrub were not very harsh.
My lips are so smooth.
I do have eczema on my arms
and it did create like a little bit of irritation.
- I really love how my skin feels.
I feel like even my hands are kind of just glowing
and they're so soft.
I used it on my forearms and...
- I'm just gonna keep it,
just 'cause my legs feel really smooth.
- This is definitely a keep.
I love that the smell sticks to your skin so you can smell
like a grapefruit sour patch star burst all day.
- I have not had Fruity Pebbles in such a long time.
So let's get started.
- I used to love Fruity Pebbles as a kid,
like this was my cereal.
I ate it all the time.
- I doubted myself when I got this, I was like
"I'm not gonna like this.
I'm gonna throw this out immediately."
Mmmmmm!
- I think it's because of how easily they got soggy,
I was just disgusted.
I just taste the artificial dye.
- I actually really like fruity pebbles, there I said it.
- It was nice to go down memory lane,
but it's a toss for me.
- Okay. This is the Aerie swimsuit.
It's very, very awkward around the chest area
but isn't this like the cutest little, like one piece,
I feel really good in this bathing suit right now.
- Here are the jeans, here are how they look on,
they are a little bit big,
but I feel like the drawstring at the waist
kind of holds everything together.
I love that they don't have a button
and they don't have a zipper.
The idea that plus-size women always have to be
uncomfortable when we're outside because all
of our clothing just needs to like cinch us in
and we have to wear this, like I hate all of that.
I wanna have clothes that just supports me
in all my daily movement.
And I feel like this is definitely super freeing,
super chill.
- I'm typically an extra small
but I think my chest is a little bit bigger
so I would definitely size up
'cause I feel very uncomfortable right here.
Definitely keeping this bathing suit.
Okay. Hey. Hey!
- You also can style this super casual, like I have it,
I would kind of just throw on some like white sneakers.
These are definitely a keep.
I'm super excited to style these with my wardrobe
and I feel like they're super versatile.
So the last and final item is this poetry collection
that Lili Reinhart actually wrote herself.
It's called Swimming Lessons.
I was super excited to pick this up
because I'm a huge bookworm.
Literally all I do is read books 24/7.
- So without further ado I'm gonna spend 15 minutes
to just sit back, relax
and enjoy Swimming Lessons by Lili Reinhart.
(bouncy music)
I got to page 119 and I gotta say,
girl, thank you for your vulnerability.
- I definitely related to her using poetry as a way to,
like, cope with her mental health issues.
Specifically at a young age, like being a teenager.
I found myself really relating to a lot of what
she was going through in the second half of the book.
It kinda just felt like journal entries.
And I know that poetry and art is subjective
and that may just be her style.
But personally, for me, it didn't really flow. I guess.
- I remember learning about poetry.
It has to be like such a specific way
and you just pour your heart out
and it becomes this beautiful work of art.
- I'm not upset that I read it.
In the reading world, this just kinda
didn't live up to my expectations.
- I really recommend this.
I'm like, I was like reading some of this,
I was like, "damn, like why do I relate to this so much?"
I'm really impressed with the products that she uses.
A lot of the things that she advertises
that she gets paid to post or that she has talked about,
they're all pretty good clean products.
- Overall, I feel like this is definitely
an interesting experience.
It was nice to come outside of my comfort zone.
Unfortunately, a lot of them were tosses for me.
A lot of them didn't hit the mark,
which I'm not really surprised about.
And this, I guess, experiment showed me why it's so
important to support marginalized content creators,
marginalized influencers, and to uplift them
because their recommendations do help a lot.
- My favorite item, probably her poetry book.
- I literally was using the brow powder every day
since I first tried it out,
I did it for like a super beat look, like full face
and I did it for a super light minimalistic summer look
and both of the times my eyebrows looked amazing,
so shout out to you, Lili.
- Lili Reinhart, I approve of your items.
