- Hey everyone, welcome to another episode of my show.
This is Bonnie.
- Hi.
if you don't recognize her,
she's kind of a big deal on YouTube,
(Bonnie laughs)
and has like, a ton of subscribers.
Everyone watches her and her family on her channel
and it's called Bonnie Hoellein.
I will link you guys to it below in the YouTube subscription
if you want to check them out.
But I love watching their videos,
because number one, they're real.
- Aw, thank you.
- And number two, her laugh, guys, I love her laugh.
(Bonnie laughs)
It makes me laugh and smile every time I hear it
and I'm just like, oh I just love it! It's like infectious.
I love that about her.
- That's sweet.
- Anyway, so one thing that we have in common,
is that we both love makeup products.
- Love it.
- And I like to save money on makeup products too,
but sometimes I like to splurge.
So we thought it'd be a good idea
to do a quick fun makeup reveal.
So we actually have half of this video,
with some of the other products on her channel.
So after this video is over, I will link you guys
to her channel so you guys can see the other favorites
we pulled out, because we've already talked about foundation
and what else did we talk about?
- Lots of important things.
- Yes lots of important things.
Like our favorite products and what things were the same
and what things were different.
So I kinda feel like people always find
their favorite products because someone recommended it.
- That's how I find all my products.
- Yeah, so that's why I think it's always fun to share
what our favorites are because more than likely
they'll become your favorites too.
So let's do a reveal. You ready?
- Yes.
(electronic dance music)
- Ready? - [Bonnie] Yes.
- One, two, three. Ooh, what's yours?
- So mine's in a palette. Mine's in a Z palette.
This is the brand of eyeshadows that I love.
This is Makeup Geek. Have you ever tried Makeup Geek?
- No.
- So Marlena, she is a YouTuber,
she created her own makeup line.
- Awesome.
- And what it's very known for,
is they're very comparable to MAC eyeshadows.
Truthfully I have grown to like these
better than the MAC eyeshadows.
- No way!
- And she has dupes for everything.
- Is it more affordable than MAC?
- They're over half the price.
- Okay, so yeah, we probably, I'm gonna have to try that.
- Okay.
- Totally gonna have to try that. Cool!
Okay I like the Naked palettes.
I purchased all of them but number two is my favorite
because everything is gold toned underneath.
- Ooooh.
And I really love the palettes
because I feel like it's so much easier
than having like a whole bunch of different little ones
that you keep around with you.
Number one and number three I actually ended up giving away.
- Really?
- Because one was more of like a rose gold undertone
and one was kind of a green undertone
and it didn't look good on my skin.
But I actually really do like the new one
that they came out with this year, which is the smoky.
- I haven't even seen this one yet.
- Let me display it for you.
(Bonnie laughs)
- So I like this one because it does have some purples
and just a lot of really pretty colors.
- That is gorgeous.
- And the thing right now is to wear some blues
and like actual colors on your eye instead of just neutral
so it's kinda fun to get a little funky with it.
Staying with the same brands if that's what we're doing.
- Yes.
- Obviously I have a thing for Urban Decay.
This is the Gwen Stefani palette. It looks like this.
And the reason I like this is cause it's a little funky.
- I am dying. Have you tried the blue?
- So, yeah can you tell?
- Yes, I wanna just touch it.
- Yeah go ahead.
- I barely touched it and my finger is covered.
- The reason I like it is because it's super pigmented.
- Yeah they really are.
- And so if you don't really want like a bright blue,
you can shade it down and blend it,
but if you want bright blue and you wanna go a little crazy
you can.
- Oh, let's do powder. Do you wear powder?
- I don't really wear powder.
(Bonnie gasps and squeals)
- So you go ahead, I will share what I kind of use,
and you go ahead.
- My absolute favorite, and it's a new love of mine,
this is the Laura Mercier Translucent...
- Is that the iridescent one that's kind of like shiny?
- No, nope. It's a different one.
This is just translucent, there's no color to it,
there's no shimmer, shine, it's for setting and baking.
And I haven't, I'm kind of new to all of that.
But it goes on very silky. I love this powder.
- Okay, so I don't really use a powder.
But I do use some sort of a powder, and it's Bobbi Brown,
it's Nude Finish Illuminating Powder.
I use it cause it kinda has a little bit of shine to it,
and it's almost gone, starting to fall apart.
But I like it, because I use it
just around my eyes to set the makeup.
The thing I never liked about powder,
is that, I already have really dry skin.
- And so why?
- So when you put on the powder,
I feel like I look like a cake,
I look like I put flour on my face.
(Bonnie laughs)
- This is what it looks like. So I haven't liked it.
So I'll have to try this.
Makeup remover? Do you have any of those?
- I don't have a makeup remover. I usually don't use one.
- How do you take your makeup off?
- I just use my facewash.
- Do you use lotion? I know some people use lotion.
- Yeah and if I have any residue, I just use lotion.
- Well for those of you who don't do that,
I'm gonna share my favorites with Bonnie then,
and with you guys.
I've talked about them before.
They're Almay's eye makeup remover pads.
I have one that is oil free, and then one that is oil.
Because I wear all waterproof on my eyes,
and so this takes it off, and then I really like this one,
because it doesn't leave the oil residue on my skin.
So I usually use one of these, and then one of these.
- Oh that's a good idea.
Maybe I'll have to do that.
- Yeah maybe I'll leave you with a couple,
then you can try them.
- Yeah!
- Then you won't have to buy them
and you can save some money!
(Bonnie laughs)
One, two, three!
- So this is NYX liquid liner.
I have tried many of the high-end,
even the ones that say smudge-proof or smudge-resistant,
they always transfer, like, a lot of the high-end ones.
And I just feel like this liquid one,
it doesn't transfer, period.
- I've been using the They're Real Pushup Liner
and I actually really like it,
but I don't love it, if I'm being totally honest.
And I am on the hunt for something better.
The thing I did like about it, is that you twist the bottom
and the makeup comes up through this part,
and it's really flexible, I feel like it's really easy
for those who don't feel like they have a steady enough hand
to do an eyeliner, a liquid eyeliner.
The problem I have with it is when you put it away
and all the makeup is gone, and you leave it in your bag,
the pump still pushes air up, so when I open it up
it has like this much left at the top
that I have to just wipe off because it's dried out.
So I feel like I'm kinda wasting makeup, which I don't like
so guess I'm gonna have to try this.
Alright, let's talk about concealer.
I do not use concealer.
- I was surprised when you said that.
- I've never found one that I liked. Tell me what you use.
- I have been using the Anastasia Beverly Hills concealer.
And the reason I've never tried it is because she doesn't
carry it in stores very much and it just came to Ulta.
A lot of times, with my dry skin,
I feel like it creases really, really easy,
or like gets cakey really easy.
And this is very smooth.
- So do you put it on after your foundation? Or before?
- After my foundation.
- Okay. If you guys didn't know it,
that's kind of a trick that you should use
to help brighten the under eyes after foundation.
So that's why I wanted to know
if you did it before or after.
- Oh, fun. And we do it the same.
- Yes, okay good.
So now we're going to do our favorite lipstick
and maybe like, I guess it'd be favorite color
or favorite brand, it doesn't really matter.
Are you ready?
- Yes and I saw a sneak peek.
- Okay here we go.
- Okay.
- This is a Saint Laurent lipstick
and I really like the color because it's a coral color.
And I actually never spend this much money on lipstick
because it's expensive,
but it was a birthday present to myself so.
- That's awesome.
- Last year I bought it and I couldn't stop thinking
about it so I had to go back to Sephora like three times
and talk myself into it - [Bonnie] Really?
- But I'm like it's my birthday, I can totally buy this.
- YSL lipsticks are very expensive.
- Yes. This is called Rouge Volupte, I don't even know.
Anyway, I really like it and it's fun color,
and every time I wear it I get compliments
because it's so bright and coral-y
and almost kind of orange-y and people love it.
So I like it too, it's just kind of fun.
- Fun. Okay, mine is a coral lipstick too.
This is MAC Sweet and Sour. This is MAC Sweet and Sour.
- That's a pretty color.
- I love the texture of cream sheen lipsticks.
- So do you keep all of your containers and return them?
- Yes.
- To save money. Guys that's what we do.
So you keep all of them and then return them.
- Alright so now we are gonna talk about brushes.
I don't use a ton of brushes other than eyeshadow brushes
because I use the TEMPTU, which I've already talked about.
I feel like everyday of my life
I talk about that to you guys.
My favorites are the Real Technique brushes.
- They're pretty!
- Yeah. This is their Metals collection.
- I wanna feel it.
- And I really like...
- They feel good.
- And they're not super expensive which is why I like them.
So like the brushes don't come off and stick to your makeup
which I hate, so I really like these.
- This is super dirty.
- You use it!
- And I honestly was like,
should I clean this before we go on camera?
(Bonnie and Melea laugh)
- But I did not. - [Melea] No one cares.
- This is the Beauty Blender.
If I had to choose one brush that I could use
it would be a Beauty Blender.
- You're gonna have to show me how to use those
because I literally bought one and I played with it
and I'm like, ugh, I do not like this.
I felt like I was wasting so much product
in the actual brush even when I got it wet
that I was like, I was just worried I was wasting product.
So how do you use it without...?
- That's how honestly, that is how I felt
when I very first started using it,
and I think I used it, played with it a couple times
and I put it back in my drawer
for the literal, exact same reasons.
- Yeah.
- And I didn't use it for several weeks
and then I just kind of got it out.
And the more I used it, the more I loved it.
It's perfect for blending.
It blends your makeup so good because I have a hard time
blending the blush on my cheeks, and I just tap it around
and it just seems to make it - [Melea] And it helps?
- Yeah, I don't know.
- Her makeup looks amazing.
I'm sure you guys can tell... - [Bonnie] Thank you.
- On camera if you can't. It looks amazing.
- Thanks.
- So whatever you're doing is working.
- You should try it.
- Okay
- Try it again.
- Alright, let's talk about blush.
- Okay.
- I don't wear blush.
- Which was crazy to me!
- My favorite is Tarte. The color is Prim.
And I like it because it just has
a little natural flush of color.
- I usually just use bronzers and just kinda
just do a little contouring with them.
So I don't usually use blush.
- Well your makeup looks great, so.
- Oh, well, thank you.
- To each their own.
- I just want to thank you for coming
and being on my channel. - [Bonnie] Yes!
- Thank you.
Bonnie has like a lot of...
- Thanks for having me.
Really cool fun videos. I like that you have
a beauty love, like I do.
- Yes! (mumbles)
- And it's not just like me the crazy person
that has boxes of makeup... - [Bonnie] I know! (laughs)`
- and I just love playing with it all the time.
But her family is super cute too.
So do you wanna tell them a little bit about your channel?
- So I started out doing makeup videos,
and people just wanted to see what I did on the daily,
so we just started doing family vlogging,
and that is mostly what we do.
But I do have a playlist full of makeup videos,
because that's what I started and that's what I love doing.
- So go check them out.
- Have a little bit of that.
- Besides she's super fun, you guys would probably
want to be friends with her, because if I want to be friends
with her, you guys would wanna be friends with her too.
So make sure you head to her channel,
I'll link you guys to that below in the YouTube description
and I'll link you guys to all the products we talked about
too if you guys want to check them out.
And don't forget you can use coupons on the makeup!
- She's teaching me.
- Yes!
- I'm learning from the master.
- Okay we'll talk to you guys next time! Bye!
- Bye guys.
