Hello, everyone. Welcome back.
Thank you so, so much for joining me.
Today...
Today I am doing a full face.
I've never done this before, and I've never considered doing it
before, but I've seen a few people do this, and I
think it was mainly Manny MUA who I saw do this.
And I was like, I love shopping there.
Let me, let me do this.
So we are doing a full face of things I found at TK Maxx.
TK Maxx in the UK, TJ. Maxx in the US.
Copyright issues in the UK, that's why.
Before we get into it, consider
subscribing giving this video a thumbs up. And yes.
So, here's the deal. I went to TK Maxx, TJ
Maxx, I picked up James on the
way, and we both went together.
And my idea was, I would do
a little like vlog type thing.
Let me tell you.
I just can't speak to a camera in public.
I can't do it. I'm too shy.
I don't know how people do it.
So I took a few shots, a few videos.
I even was trying to do it secretly because
I felt like I was, like, doing something illegal.
I don't know.
So there wasn't really that much
choice, to be honest with you.
They always have this table in the middle here in TK Maxx.
There's always brands you would recognize.
So I saw a few Kiko
products, there was Anastasia Beverly Hills, illamasqua.
I picked up an illamasqua foundation.
And then I saw a lot of W7.
W7 is like a really affordable brand here.
And there was a lot of, like, imitation
Colourpop products and imitation Urban Decay products.
It's that kind of brand.
Wait, I don't think I actually picked up that
palette because I actually have a Colorpop one.
I think I put it back.
And I found these brushes from e.l.f.
Now, I love e.l.f brushes.
I remember getting some in the collection
they did with Jkissa, and they
were these incredible rainbow-esque brushes.
And they were beautiful, beautiful brushes.
They had loads of mascaras.
So I picked up this random mascara
I've never heard of in my life.
Magic Studio.
I've never heard of it.
And then they had some Ardell lashes,
and they had some quite fluffy ones.
So I picked up some of those, and that's
all the footage I took because I was scared.
But let's try it all today.
Let me run through what we have and the prices.
Here's the TK Maxx bag.
Oh, my God, I forgot about some of this! Oh, I'm pretty excited.
Wait, what's this receipt for?
Oh, that's for B&M.
So these are the e.l.f brushes I got.
It's quite a good set.
This was 5.99, which I don't think
is bad for an eye set.
Wait, is that bad for e.l.f brushes?
This vein in my eye.
Just going to put some eye drops in.
And then sticking with e.l.f, this palette
was there, brand new. Now, here's the thing.
A lot of the time with TK Maxx
is a lot of the packaging is open.
So I had to open the packet and
make sure that the product wasn't actually used.
But this e.l.f palette, Earth and Ocean, 7.99.
And I like e.l.f eyeshadows, so that's
going to be a nice one.
But then I also found this palette.
I've never heard of this brand in my life.
PuPart S.
Never heard of it, but it looked kind of cool.
So you have a blush in here.
Eyeshadow and then lips.
Matte lip cream.
Classic lip cream.
Thought that was cute.
I got this illamasqua foundation.
It's called Beyond Foundation, 7.99.
Was it used?
It doesn't, it doesn't look used.
And it looks really light, but we'll make it work.
It was one of the only foundations that was there.
I think a lot of them were quite light.
Oh, and then I found this eye stick from Morphe.
Morphe 2, remember that?
I'm going to sanitize it because it looks a little bit...
But I thought it might be a good eyeshadow primer, maybe.
Yes. Oh, my God.
And then I found this.
Oh, my God, this looks gross.
Okay, I'm not going to use this.
Oh, it smells funny.
And then I saw this really cute
lip palette from Max Factor, 4.99.
And it has clear, and then these
shades, and then these kind of, like,
luminescent, like toppers, almost on top.
And even the person at checkout, she was
like, oh, my God, I want this.
I was like, yeah, there's loads. There's loads of them.
And it's got the strip intact.
From Rimmel London.
This jelly highlighter, 4.99.
And then I saw this.
Mally Star Power Brightening Nude Kit, 6.99.
Mally Beauty I always see on QVC.
And they look like this.
I just realized I didn't check
if they've been popped open.
You can tell with a gloss because it
should be quite tight and suction still. Yeah.
And then you see how that's kind
of clear halfway through, so that's fine.
Okay, lashes.
This is the mascara I was talking about.
It looks very JML, you wake up too
early and the shopping channels are still on.
But I saw this lid and I was
like, how can you resist that luxury?
And then we have these Ardell
lashes, which I really like.
I don't know if these are the ones I got
from Sephora that one time, but these are 4.99.
It says don't sell to under 18s, I think, because
of the glue, but no one wants to sniff lash glue.
It tastes like fish. Smells like fish.
And we'll start with this Morphe
stick as an eyeshadow primer. Eyeshadow stick.
Oh, it's a sharpener.
Okay, let's sharpen it before.
Okay, let's give it a go.
This is quite good.
It's quite fleshy, but it's really
difficult to draw onto the lid.
It's quite tough.
Like, I'm not actually sure, it's
so close to my skin tone.
I'm not actually sure if it's drawing.
If any product is coming off.
I think it is.
My eyes hurt now, so I think it must be.
Yeah, it feels kind of tacky.
It's a very dry, dry product, though.
It kind of hurts putting it on, to be honest with you.
I wonder if it's quite old.
I mean, Morphe 2 was, like, ages ago, right?
Do they even still do that?
My skin looks exceptionally bad today,
and I'm not sure why.
Okay, that hurt a little bit.
Let's crack open these e.l.f brushes and the e.l.f palette.
It's quite a good selection.
We have a blending brush, an angle brush, a
small tiny... that's probably actually a lip brush, and
then a small, like, dense packing brush.
And then this almost fanned out, like blending brush.
I think that'll be great for concealer.
We're going to use, I guess,
for as much as we can today.
And then this is the Earth and Ocean e.l.f palette.
This is actually a really nice palette.
I mean, we don't really have much
choice in what we can do.
I guess it's blue or green.
So I guess we're going to do that today.
Let's just go straight into it.
I think I am going to have to use
some other brushes alongside this, but let's go
in with Eyeshadow C brush, which is this one.
And let's do... oh, some of these are really nice.
Let's go into Abyss.
This dark green.
It's not green, it's blue.
You have to start packing and building.
Great pigment, which I always...
Did I just choose the wrong color? No.
Which I always expect from e.l.f anyway.
E.l.f eyeshadows, they're always really nice.
Trying to use this blending brush.
They are kind of all a little bit flat
because they've been in that pack for a while.
And what's this called?
Fluffy Eye Blender.
I'm not sure
this is a great base for eyeshadow.
This eyeshadow stick, to be honest with you.
So I feel like we might struggle a little bit here.
Might have to use a brush that I know the shape of.
Do you ever get that when you're trying, like if you
get some new brushes, you're like, you know what?
No, I need to just use one of my brushes that I know today.
I used to have in my actual professional brush
kit, I used to have, I don't anymore, but I had
some brushes that were so old, that they weren't even the
shape of what they're meant to be.
Like, I would have a blending brush like this,
but there'll be, like, ten hairs left in it.
I'd be like, no, that's my blending brush.
Like, you get so used to how it is that you can
still work with them and kind of still need that shape.
Like, your brushes are your shape, and you know
how to use them, you know what I mean?
I'm going to go into this shade Oasis, which is
this light blue and just with this big fluffy brush,
and just kind of go over these edges.
The eye look is someone's mum in the 80s,
if she was being more experimental.
I have to be honest. This base or the eyeshadow stick is not
actually a base, but what I'm using it
for probably wasn't the best idea.
It is a little bit patchy and
it isn't really gripping very well.
It was quite dry and not quite sticky.
But usually a lot of eyeshadow sticks
or pencils make great eyeshadow bases.
So maybe this is just a little bit
old, a little bit gone past its date.
I want to use this shade, Salt Water,
because it has this beautiful, like...
Oh, you can't really see. Like, shine to it.
So let's use that on the lid here
and just tap it into that blue.
That's quite nice. It's quite
natural.
I want to try this shade Drip Drip as well.
This kind of like
deeper navy, but
still has a bit of a shine.
I'm just going to tap that in the middle
of the two shades joining together.
I have to be honest, this brush, I
don't see... why is it so flat?
I think it must have been like, puffier
then this, because I don't see the need for
a wide, flat, blending brush like this.
I'm going to go into Trenches,
which is just pretty much black.
And let's just tap that in the corner here.
Because it's so fluffy and big,
where I was tapping, a lot of fallout was coming off.
I think I'm going to put those
brushes to one side for a minute.
They weren't overly impressive.
This palette is cute.
There's a few more colors I want to use in there, so
I will put that aside and come back to that another time.
Okay, let's try the foundation.
The illamasqua Beyond Foundation.
This shade is what? 2E1?
Or is that the batch number?
The shade is LN2.
And I feel like this is going to be very light.
Well... oh, it's going to be pale. Okay. It's fine.
We have blush. It's fine.
We'll do a light layer of pure white.
You know what, though?
I am paler than I look,
so this might not be horrendous.
Is it meant to...
Is it meant to smell like that?
Can somebody let me know.
I know you can't smell it, but if
you have this foundation, does it smell funny?
How much was this again? 7.99.
So you can, to be fair, get
actual, like, cheaper foundations in the drugstore.
But 7.99 is a good price for illamasqua.
It really does smell really bad.
Just noticed I've got a blue smudge under my eye.
So anyone who works at Tk Maxx, TJ Maxx,
with the beauty products, is there a length of
time you're allowed to keep them on the floor?
I'll be very interested to know.
I need to change my brush because it's covered in blue.
Today is not my day.
To be fair, it's probably made the match
a little bit closer to my skin tone.
Where is this coming from?
Where on my face is this blue?
Now this brush is blue.
It's nowhere, though.
This isn't a good time.
This is not a good time.
Foundation isn't great in general.
It's quite sheer, but not in a way
it's like, oh, that's a nice, natural foundation.
It's just kind of pointless.
Yeah, not a fan.
I'm just going to finish up under my eyes.
Okay, I don't really like where this
look is going, but that's fine.
Let's try the blush from this, Stay Strong,
Puparts Palette.
Never heard of it.
But I mean, I like this concept. It's cute.
And it's quite a nice looking blush as well.
With blue eyeshadow, though, and pale skin, we
might have a bit of an issue.
Very pigmented.
You really don't... this is such a horrible look.
I was going to film another video after this, but
I feel like I'm going to have to take
this makeup off and do something else.
I don't even know if you can see it.
You can see it, right?
It's very strong. It's quite nice.
I actually kind of want to swatch some of
these eyeshadows in this palette because they look cute.
They're quite nice.
I wish I used this now.
They're good.
I'm not sure about the combination
together, but they're nice eyeshadows. They feel good.
I kind of want to go into this classic lip cream
here because it looks really nude for my lips, and I
love to just completely blank out my lips before.
So let's do that.
Nice texture.
Yeah.
God, what a look.
What a look I have created.
I mean, this foundation, you can just see every...
I don't see the point in it,
to be honest with you.
Especially, I mean, you might as well
buy, like, a drugstore foundation.
I just want to do this purple.
I'm actually going to take it off and go on with a
Mally one, but I just want to see...
Oh.
Oh, my God.
I look like a child.
I look like a child's done makeup.
This Lip Finity...
Oh, it's kind of moist on the inside.
Oh, they're all really moist.
They're all really wet and moist.
Do I do it?
Sorry if you hate that word.
You know what I'm going to do?
I'm going to take a little bit of the shine
here just to see how that looks.
Let's just try a bit of this... urgh, it's gritty. I can't.
I can't do it. I can't do that. I'm sorry.
My lips are dry and bleeding,
and everything's going wrong.
I don't understand what's going on.
Okay, so there is a pencil, the Star Power Lip Liner.
Oh, so it is a wind up. Okay. Cute.
Not used.
Phew.
Very nice, very creamy, very smooth.
Honestly, what is wrong with me today?
What is this?
Where's this line come from?
Oh, I'm a mess.
Okay, let's give one of the glosses a go.
This is Star Power Lip Gloss.
Natural nude.
Yeah, it's nice. It's a nice gloss. Okay, cute.
Okay, let's open this jelly.
This is nice because it has that packaging,
outer packaging on it still, so that makes
me feel like, kind of safe.
And it has this, nice.
Okay, it's like this. That's cute.
Let's give it a little tap.
Nice texture.
This is going to be nice.
Oh, I really like that. That's nice.
I just want to tap it in a bit with a brush.
It does have a slight pinky tone to it, but that
was just the only one that was left.
So I guess on other skin tones, it'll be a lot nicer.
I hate this.
I hate this look so much.
Something about blue eyeshadow.
When it doesn't go right, it can just ruin a whole, the whole day.
It's cute. Nice. Okay, cute. Okay.
And let's try this Magic Studio Curling Mascara,
brush capable of providing extreme curve during application.
Let's try, because you can see my
lashes point down quite a lot.
This is how horrible.
It's like it will...
You can feel the glitter.
Like, it's not nice and smooth.
It feels like it's going to come up... yeah.
It's like, coming off on my fingers. Okay.
Brush looks good, though.
That looks really good, actually.
Let me... look how good that looks. I like that.
I like that a lot, actually.
Okay, let's do it.
I'm going to cup my lashes.
Yeah, it's quite nice.
The only thing I would say, it's quite a big brush.
Maybe this brush on a smaller scale
would be a good idea because it's kind of overtaking everything,
and I'm having to be extremely careful that it
doesn't touch my eyelid, you know?
But it has, I mean, I can't
get those inside corners right there.
See, it doesn't really lift.
You can still see my lashes here.
And also as well, these kind of like,
the bristles are so long, now I've used
it that the product is almost beneath them.
So you really have to push in
and try and get that product out. Not the best.
The product is almost hidden, like, beyond the brush.
Okay, let's get these Ardell Wispies on.
You know what, I do wish that they had something a
little bit more convenient than this being the packaging.
I wish it was a little bit more...
I don't know, like some clipped into something, or it
was a little bit more, like you could actually
keep them stored without worrying about them falling out.
But they are good lashes.
Double Wispies. Love them.
Okay, so this is a full face
using a product from Tk Max. TJ.
Maxx, whatever you want to call it.
There's some good stuff there.
Ardell, illamasqua, Stila was there.
We didn't use it today. I had to throw it away because it stank.
Morphe, if you're into it.
Loads of other brands.
I would just be wary of the foundations
and the products, just to check they haven't
been used or pumped or maybe someone's tried
it on their lips or something like that.
You don't know how unclean some people can be.
So do just be careful.
I'm going to take this whole look off because
it looks like I just started practicing makeup yesterday.
Yes, but anyway, thank you so much for joining me.
Let me know what is the best thing
you have found in a TK Maxx, TJ Maxx, that kind of thing.
Home Bargains, wherever it is you get a good deal.
Let me know in the comments below.
Thank you so much for joining me and
I will see you very, very soon. Bye.
