Hello everyone, welcome back. Thank you so much for joining me. So what I want to do
for you today is go through some of my current beauty obsessions. Now I know
when people are like, oh I'm so obsessed, it's like okay, you, you like it. But no
these are products that I genuinely really, really like using at the moment,
keep going back to, and actually can't wait to use again. And I just think
they've become like the perfect... there's some combinations here, there's some
other things. So I wanted to share those with you today. If this is your first
time here, hi, my name is Robert. I'm a professional makeup artist here on
YouTube, and also in real life. And it's my goal to help you become Pro yourself
or just someone who's really good at makeup. So if that sounds like something
you are interested in, then please do consider subscribing.
Okay, let's have a look at my first products. Now, these are two products I'm
gonna put together, not from the same brand. It's my current brow combination,
and this is the Brow Fixer Ultra Lift Brow Balm from Sheen, and this is the i
Sculpt, i Shade Brow Pen from Juvia's Place. Now, this is the shade ebony I
believe, yes, ebony, and this is just clear. But, this is one of the most... there's
loads of brow products I like don't get me wrong. The one from Beauty Bay is
incredible, there's Bare Brows as well. But this one is, it's just the perfect
mix of this texture, right. So it has that hole in that you can stick your
spoolie in, and go through your brows. But the texture is almost like... it's like a solid
cream but it goes on like... it's almost like a cream,
I want to say jelly but I don't want to say jelly because it doesn't move, and it
doesn't shake. But it has a really smooth
texture without having that greasy feeling to it, or that balmy feeling to
it. It's definitely more of like a strong, strong, super strong hold cream. It's
clear, so it isn't going to leave like any cast or anything like that in the
brow. It doesn't leave like flaky bits, so you have like dry under brows, you know?
It doesn't do anything like that. And it just holds all day, especially my brows
that are super, super heavy, and dark and like, you know, they're like proper,
you know.... I don't know what I'm saying. Brows that I
can't really keep tidy very easily. So that's a great one
to try. This is a product that I, I get a lot of brow products, especially now
because people keep adding, you know, brow products keep coming out, and coming out,
and coming out. But this is one I think I would definitely go for again once I run
out of it because it's a really, really, really good hold.
In terms of the pen, the Juvia's Place Pen. I love brow pens anyway because,
especially this kind of like combed through spiked up brow, you don't really
want to do your brow shape before because once you start pushing upwards
you kind of want all your hairs or all the detail that you draw in yourself to
go in the same direction. And you don't really know what direction your hair is
going to go in until you have, you know, spiked them up. So, finding a product that
draws on top of these brow products can be quite difficult. Some of the, some pens
can dry out when you're trying to use it on top of brow products, some don't draw
over at all. The Juvia's Place one actually draws on top of this product. I
was using the Glossier Brow Flick
but in comparison now to this one, the Brow Flick seems like a dulled out
version, like the color isn't as intense. So if you do want a little bit more
intense color, then the Juvia's Place Pen is definitely a lot nicer to go for. Okay,
let's talk about blush and contour, and everything else. And this is the Hindash
Beautopsy Palette. Now, I know I did a review on this a while back and I think I put
it down for a little bit. Especially when it comes to being an influencer of
makeup you like try new things all the time, and you
always want to keep on top of new releases. This is something that I was like, I
really want one of these in my professional kit, so I have two of these
now. One is in my professional kit but this is the one I was gifted first.
And I was doing a look age ago, and I was like, what can I try that's different for
blush? And I remembered this and I was like, oh my God, let me go back to that.
Like I don't like pink on me at all, I don't like pink lips, like strong pink, I
don't like pink blusher. I will occasionally make it like, you know, maybe
I'll do a little bit of pink, pink eyeshadow I'm good with because I can
make it almost purple, like that pinky purple. But I used Boy +
Wonder together right, literally I just did this.
And I'm not being like, oh get me, I discovered... because they're right next to
each other. But it isn't a color palette I would usually go for.
And I just looked at it and I was like, that is the most
beautiful, subtle pink. And it's because it has that peachier
tone right next to it that I don't mind the pinkness, you know.
And I think there's so many different kinds of pink as well when it comes to
using pink, you can either go really over the top and have like this
too, too much pink. Or you can go quite natural like this one
in terms of shade and tone, and make it look like a naturally kind of like
flushed pink. Just make it a little bit more subtle. Now, see that to me looks
like I've been out in the cold and I've just come in, I'm a little bit flushed,
you know. Let's a little on the sides here. It just
has the most perfect pink to it. And then I started playing with everything else
again and I just remembered how incredibly artistic this palette was,
and how amazing it was. And now every time I do a look I try and include one
tone from this palette at least. Because I want to discover it a little
bit more, and use it for like the artistic way I assume it was made to be
used. So this is something that keeps like jumping back into my mind, like use
it, use it, use it, use it, you know? Okay, let's talk about highlighter. This is
Alamar Cosmetics, and this is the shade... oh no, I can't read the shade, I can't
read that. I will link it all below so you know exactly what shade it is, and
I'll have it on the screen here. But look at this highlighter,
look how incredible this is. So every look I've done, every video I've done
where I've just done my makeup before, I've been using this highlighter. Look, it
looks like liquid gold.
Can you see? It looks, it looks edible, like I would...
I just want to bite into it. Let me put a little bit on for you. So
I'm just gonna put it right up here. But it has this intensity to it
but at the same time this kind of like... ah, that's just a
really, really nice glow. So I like to build mine up quite a bit like that and
I can see where it is, and then I'll go in with another brush and then we'll
buff over it. Am I shaking the camera again?
And just really melt that product into the skin. Look how nice that highlight is.
And I'm just gonna grab a powder brush and just
gently go backwards and forwards over that area.
And it just, look, it's just the most intense look. And it looks really, really
nice with a full face of makeup with like your eyes done. I barely have any
concealer on under my eyes. But it just catches the light, it just, it just looks
metallic. It looks so, so good. I just love it, I just love it the way it sits on the
skin. There's a few different tones in this as well, and you can kind of almost
see like... see, you can kind of see your skin underneath, like it doesn't look
like a color just whacked on top of your face.
I love it, absolutely, absolutely in love with that highlighter, it's so
beautiful. Actually, I might try the other ones and see what they're like. I think
there maybe one that's a bit too darker, and one that's a bit lighter as
well, might see how that is. Okay, let's talk about something
different. I never talk about body stuff but I want to talk about these products
from Zitsticka, this is the Silkshake... oh, excuse me, probiotic Cleanser for
barrier balance. And then we also have Fizz Fountain which is an AHA BHA multi
exfoliant for clear pores, with peppermint extract. Now, these don't look
very used and that's because these are brand new ones because I was gifted
these originally from Zitsticka. And as soon as I used them I knew I would want
more, so I ordered more because I don't want to run out of them.
So this is a body wash basically, I don't know anything about skincare at all or
how it works with the skin but it's a blend of pre, post and
probiotics. I don't know what that means. "As a nutrient dense body cleanser that
balances your skin's microbiome." That sounds really sciency to me. It's a
really nice body wash. And then you have the exfoliator here with AHA, BHA. Now
listen, I, I suffer... and I'm, I'm not gonna jinx
myself but from like chicken skin, you know up on the arms. where it gets like a
little bit red and, you know, a little bit discolored and things like that?
And this has helped a lot, like greatly in terms of, of the redness on the skin.
Nothing crazy at the moment but I've only been using it for, maybe a month
I've had it now. But I just really, really like the combination together. My
skin feels incredible afterwards as well and I feel like I'm looking after... I kind
of have this thing at the moment, and I don't know if it's because I'm getting
older but I have this thing at the moment where I'm super, super intensely
concentrating on looking after, not just my face skin but my body's skin as well.
Like of course I use... I would hydrate my skin and things like that but I would
just use any old cream, any old body thing, you know. Whereas now I'm looking
more into ingredients, and things that I can use to help certain, you know, certain
things. Like the redness on my arms. And it's great to see that kind of skincare
thing making its way into like the body situation as well,. And, you know, being
able to take care of the skin here, and here,
you know? Okay, let's talk about this. So this is a mirror from Ilios. Oh, I'm
trying to turn it around so it doesn't look dirty, I use it so it's a little bit
unclean, I haven't cleaned it. So this is an incredible mirror. I am actually going
to have to... actually, you know what, let me take the mirror out and I can show you.
This mirror inside, so you have a magnifying side here,
and then you just spin it around and you have like your regular side here. You can
also take this mirror out, like this. I'm just gonna pop that down
just so I don't catch all the lights. So... I haven't, don't even have it plugged in
because it's gonna be really difficult to show you with the camera on. So it is
like an LED ring light, right? But, it's not just any old LED ring light.
So when you turn it on you have the different kind of lighting, so you have
cool, blend, and warm. So you have almost like that white ring light light. Your
warm like more orangey tone light, and then your blend which is the two together.
But it can go up to 10, 25, 50, 75 I want to say. And then 100 in terms
of brightness, and this goes bright. I've been using this a lot recently, I've been
using it when I'm doing like my eyebrows or doing like makeup. When I was going on
live on TikTok I always, always use this.
And this is really great for... I know not everyone is an influencer but
even if you like to do videos of yourself doing your makeup. Because
right at the back here... so there's a USB plug at the back anyway, so this you can
charge your phone while it's in here, while it's plugged into this port here.
But at the back you see it has this arm that comes down like this, this is so cool.
This is like a clip for your phone that slides in here, and that's where you can
have your phone, isn't that so cool? And then you just slide your phone in and
you have a little set up there for whatever it is you want to do. Now, you
can't have the mirror in here at the same time because obviously like, what would
be the point? It's just, it's just amazing. And I do believe there's some
attachments you can get as well, so I think there is like a longer
base, a longer stand for this. But it is just the most incredible light.
And I sometimes wish, I just wish I had more reasons to use it other than
plucking my eyebrows or, you know, laminating my brows, or being on Instagram
live, or whatever. But I don't. It sits over here in front of me and
whenever I use it, I can. Talking about mirrors and lighting, this is something
that I most definitely didn't need but I just want to share with you all because
I kind of want to thank you all for tagging me so much in this brand. And
this is the Disney and Impressions, I think it's called Impressions Vanity
mirrors. So this is the Ariel mirror. This is so dumb, it's so cute though. And
it has this little stand here where you can kind of like
angle it. And it's actually in front of me now, I have the cinderella one. This is
my mirror I use now for filming. You have your charging port right here and then
it turns onto this blue light, the warm, and I think you have a mix, I
think that's a mix there as well. It's not magnifying or anything like that.
But I just think they're so, so cute. And you know if they had Tiana I would have
bought Tiana but they don't, so maybe get on that. I just thought, I just
thought they were so cute. Are they like crazy, like worth it? Not really, it's just
a mirror with a light round it. But if you like Disney and you have like a
beauty room, I think it's really cute to have some different mirror options in
there. It's really not necessary, and yeah. Okay, let me powder my face. But so many
people tagged me in, in that. And I always say if you see anything Disney, let me know.
Okay, let's talk about my last two obsessions, and these obsessions... ah my
God! Oh my God, a fly just flew right in here. I don't know where it's gone.
I don't... that's going to be in here forever now. These are recent obsessions
because I've only just recently had them but I've used them every single day
since getting them. So the first one is the Nimya Cooling Eye Stick. I'm not saying
this, this bit because I can't... for some reason it won't physically come out my
mouth. But this has just been the most perfect
perfect base. Sh*t, there's a lot, there's a lot in there. I only just realized, I
just thought to wind the whole thing up. For my eyes. Eye primer, I'm feeling
dehydrated, my skin is dry, my skin is crusty. Everything goes on so smoothly
with that underneath. It is so, so nice to use. So I basically use it, obviously
around my eye in this area here, but then I'll use my finger and tap it on to the
areas, especially in here where I get a little bit drier, almost like it's an eye cream.
And it has this really nice texture to it, it's not a slip, it's not greasy, it's
not barmy, it's just the perfect amount of
surface level priming. That's what it is. It doesn't feel like moisturizer, it
doesn't feel like hydrating. It feels like it's primed and ready for makeup,
which is all I want when I'm doing my makeup. I don't give a sh*t about
anything else. I don't... you know, as long as my makeup looks good and it
lasts a long time, that is all I want. The other thing from Nimya... I like the whole,
the whole collection. This fan, listen, let me tell you something. I've been, I've
been drying my lash glue with this. So when I'm using like, you know, putting the
glue on the lash and I'm waiting for it to dry... ah!
Get out! Please, get out, just find a window and leave. Go out the way you came
in, please. It's gone. We can all live our lives as normal. Okay, so yeah when
I've been preparing my lashes, and putting the lash glue on. So being a
professional makeup artist, before I was ever a YouTuber right, I never did makeup
on myself, never really put lashes on myself. I, I did it once right to see how
it felt and I hated it but you know now I do it all the time. But you could never,
if you're putting makeup on a client right, if putting lashes on a client,
you should never blow on them for hygiene reasons. Or you can just kind
of like flap them around or put the glue on and leave them, set them down for a
few minutes for that glue to dry and get really tacky. And I never even thought
about fans because I always thought... when I was doing makeup I always try to be
extremely professional right, so I wouldn't dare get out a fan and start
doing this or, you know,
doing whatever. This has been so amazing, it's so much quicker to put my lashes on.
I just put the fan on its highest setting,
hold it on there for like 20 seconds, and then bloop, bloop, bloop. You can literally touch,
touch, touch, and your lash is stuck on. No slipping around, nothing like that. So
whether or not you get yourself a Nimya your fan or just get some cheap fan from
somewhere, get a fan for your lashes. Oh my God, it is so much quicker to get them
on. That's it really for my beauty
obsessions, for like recent. I mean, you know I'm gonna get obsessed with other
products as well at some point. I would love to know what you are loving at the
moment, your beauty obsessions. Leave them below, I'll check them out, I'll have a
look see if I can, you know, see if I want to buy anything. Thanks again for joining
me, I will see you very, very soon. Please give this video a thumbs up, consider
subscribing, and yeah. See you soon, bye.
