(gentle instrumental music)
- Hi, everyone.
It's your girl, Jenn,
and I have a brand new series
in collaboration with Simple Skincare,
who is sponsoring this video.
Life can be really stressful,
and not only does stress suck,
it can affect your skin, too.
And that's why we've whipped up
this really fun, stress free series
where I've just invited a bunch of my friends over.
We're gonna be hanging out and just chatting away,
doing fun makeup challenges,
and also sharing tips on how we keep our skin
healthy and hydrated using Simple's new Water Boost line.
Today's special guest is my friend Jackie Aina.
She is one of my favorites on YouTube,
and I absolutely love learning so much about her.
I'm so excited to catch up with her
and get some one on one time.
Well, Jackie.
- Hey, girl.
- She's here.
Thank you so much for joining me!
- Of course!
Thank you for having me.
- Yeah.
It's your first time at my place.
- First time at the crib, kicking it.
- So today, we're doing a just Get Ready With Us,
but with a twist, of course.
We're gonna be playing this game called three simple rules.
- What does that mean?
- Well, all the rules are in this lovely basket here.
- Oh lord.
- Each time you break a rule, you get a strike,
and whoever gets the most strikes, they lose.
So, do you wanna pick out what rules we're gonna do?
- Are there cash incentives involved?
- Mm, we could, we could.
- I only pick one?
- Mm-hmm, one at a time.
- Move your arms like a train when laughing.
Oh, great.
- So this is the choo-choo train.
So every time you laugh, you have to go like this.
- I'm a professional laugher.
That's gonna be hard.
I literally laugh at everything.
So this situation?
- Mm-hmm.
- Okay, I think I could do that.
- Yeah, right?
- Okay.
- And the next one is, you can't say yes or no.
- Dang, that's messed up. - Yeah, mm-hmm.
- Position your arms like a T. rex when picking product.
What?
Like this?
- Yeah, exactly.
You gotta pick it up like this.
And then once you've captured it,
you get to just do your thing with it.
- But not laugh in the process, because then you--
- Oh!
- If you T. rex it up but you laugh in the process,
you gotta choo-choo it out.
Is that what you're saying?
- Yeah, yeah, exactly.
- All right, this is gonna be tough.
- Precisely. - This is gonna be tough.
That's why I asked about cash incentives.
(Jenn laughs)
- So today, I thought we would just do
kind of an everyday, bumped up look.
So you can put a little glamor if you'd like.
- We can do that.
- So before we get started,
I wanted to make sure that our skin is hydrated and primed,
so we're gonna use Simple's hydrating booster.
This is great if you are stressed out,
because stress can dehydrate the skin
and then make it more sensitive.
So this just reverses all of that.
Ooh.
- [Jackie] It smells good.
- Yeah.
It's so milky.
- So we can use this as a spot treatment, right?
- Mm-hm.
'Cause you have oily skin, right?
- I have combination.
Yeah, I have more combination,
so this area here is more normal for me,
so I'm just gonna pop that in that area--
- [Jenn] Nice.
- Where it tends to get a little bit more dry.
And what about you?
- I'm just a normal girl.
Sometimes I get dry during the wintertime.
So I'm just gonna use it all over as a primer.
- You're so lucky.
- It's genetics.
Thank you.
Thank you, Mom and Dad.
I'm just using it all over as a primer,
but you can also mix this in with your moisturizer, too.
- It feels like a primer.
It's a little tacky in a good way.
- So the makeup can really stick.
- Yeah, it kinda grabs onto anything.
Oh, that's why they call it a booster.
- Yeah, right?
A little boost.
- Simple, I see you.
- All right, so now that our skin is prepped,
let's get started.
- Let's get beats, shall we?
- You ready?
(Jackie laughs)
- That was so cute. (laughs)
- Okay, there you go, there you go.
- Okay.
Serious face.
- So, what are you using for foundation?
- Ooh, that's one of my favorites.
- I know.
That's why I busted it out.
I got it 'cause of you.
- Really?
- You convinced me.
- I feel like a proud auntie.
- Absolutely.
(Jackie laughs)
That's the one.
Foundation that works for all skin types.
- Mm-hmm.
- That was a little erotic move.
- Yeah, right? (laughs)
No!
What have we signed up for?
So how long does it take you to get ready on a good day?
- Well, if it's on a luxurious day
where I have time to kill--
- Like hang out, listen to music.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Two hours, like an hour and a half.
- Is that you showering?
- From the time I prime to wig on, styled, curled,
so it's hair and makeup.
- Whoa.
- Yeah, it kinda takes me a long time.
- Wait.
- But, but, on a normal day, it's like an hour.
How long does it take you?
- Okay, if I have to be out the door,
let's say I'm just doing a easy shoot,
it would take me like 20 minutes, 30 minutes.
- What?
- Yeah.
- If I need to be out the house, I can do it in 30 minutes,
but that's like, your wing may not be even, girl,
but you gotta pick your poison.
- Exactly.
- You've got a deadline to meet,
so you're gonna sacrifice something.
- Okay.
So Jackie just had her 30th birthday party,
which was so crazy.
She had rented out the whole penthouse
of Mr. C in Beverly Hills. - It was so nice.
- It was so nice.
We saw panoramic views of the city.
There was sushi.
There was pizza.
- You're really selling this.
- I know, because I had never been to
a party like that before, and I was like--
- Really?
- I couldn't believe it.
And so me and Stephanie ended up staying there
for way longer.
We saw your grand entrance.
How did you think of that? - That was so much fun.
Well, because our inspo was Coming to America,
so we wanted to be super extra.
If you've ever seen the movie Coming to America,
then you know it's super extra.
- I haven't seen it.
- It's very extra.
(both laugh)
- So heavy.
- The anticipation, I was like, "What's happening?"
- What's happening here?
- (gasps) I left my contour at home.
- No!
I have this.
Will this help?
- Oh honey.
(both mumbling)
- Oh, the shade is not dark enough.
No.
- No?
- It's okay. - No.
- It'll be a light bronze day? - Do you have bronzer?
- Yes, we always have bronzer.
It's okay.
I love how that was so tragic for us.
- Yeah, that's so sad.
I was like, "Please."
Okay, so where are you now?
Okay.
- Still doing concealer.
And you've already like baked and--
- Yeah, I need to slow down.
I need to slow my role.
- I'm just a slow girl.
I don't know.
- [Jenn] You take your time.
- I do like taking my time, I do.
- [Jenn] That's good.
- I enjoy the process of getting ready.
- Me, too.
- I really do. - I love having the option
to just do whatever I want to my face that day.
Like, do I want a green eye, a yellow, an orange?
Do you like my small, tiny--
- Oh, I travel with that one.
- It's the best.
- I always get that one for travel.
What's that brow pencil?
- Dior brow styler.
- They have brow pencils?
- Yeah.
Dior is really stepping it up
with all their makeup products, mm-hmm.
But this brow styler is the bomb.
Oh, but your collaboration with Too Faced.
Oh my god! - I'm so excited about that.
- I know, I know. - I'm so excited about that.
- I'm so excited, too. - I'm so excited.
- Congratulations.
- Thank you.
Waiting to announce that was hard.
- Wait, so when does it launch?
- So, basically, it's in effect now.
- (gasps) Really?
- Yeah, it's gonna take however long it takes
to get in the lab and start formulating.
I do want to name one foundation after one of my viewers,
'cause I've got people that have reached out to me,
and they've been like,
"I'm one of those weird in between shades,
"and I know that a lot of other people
"are similar to me, as well.
"Could you make something for me?"
I wanna make one of those
really complicated in between shades for someone,
like dedicated to one of my followers or something.
And the other names,
I want them to be inspired by countries or something.
- Oh my gosh, this brow is looking so wonky.
- Which one?
- This one.
It's like ...
- Oh, yeah, yeah.
It's a little shorter.
- I've gotta go for this.
(Jackie laughs)
Okay.
All right.
- The way you like, "I gotta--
- I gotta, I don't wanna drop anything.
- You got it.
- So now I just gotta fix this brow.
I'm using Simple's Water Boost Micellar Cleansing Water,
and I'm just going to apply this onto a cotton round.
Boop, boop, boop.
- That stuff is good for spot cleaning and stuff.
- Yeah, and just prepping the face,
cleansing your makeup off.
It's really gentle, and it just instantly hydrates.
- [Jackie] Oh, wow.
- Yeah.
Are you already on your eye shadow?
- I am.
- No!
- Okay, I decided to do a little beat,
just a little, just something for the summertime.
We'll turn up, me and bae.
- "It takes me two hours to get ready.
(Jackie laughs) "Oh, I'm already done."
- Have you ever been with a guy
that did not like you wearing makeup?
- When I wear too much, they'll say--
- What's too much?
- When it's bold eyes, bold lips.
I feel like a lot of guys, they say they like,
"Oh, I like all natural girls,"
but they don't realize even the natural girls
have a lot of stuff going on still.
- Do you know how long it takes natural to get ready?
So my natural BB cream is gonna take 45 minutes,
my natural contour, another 10,
and then my natural lash application.
- Right.
- That sparkly color is pretty, that first one,
that's super pretty. - Thank you.
Oh, wait, it's, hold on.
- It was Color Pop, right?
- Yes.
I love it. - Yeah!
- Yes.
- [Both] Yeah!
(Jackie laughs)
- Do you even put on mascara?
You did.
Okay, now they're even longer and more full.
- Ooh, are you using primer?
- Yeah, I have to.
- Ooh.
- This is Lancome's seals booster.
- Seals booster.
- Yeah, I really need them.
Hello! - How are you doing?
- Bumped up!
- This is my favorite lash.
I love this lash.
Look at the difference.
- Whoa, oh my gosh. - Party time.
- Yeah, you need to show them.
- Good morning, party time.
Good morning, good night.
- Oh, no.
- What happened?
- I forgot my blush.
- No. - No!
- Girl, what do you need?
I got coral.
- You got coral?
- I got liquid.
- That's my shade.
- I've got, hey, we've got it all.
- What's this?
Whoa.
- My latest, newest obsession.
- What is it?
- I forgot the T. rex arms.
- It's okay.
It's just a strike.
Just add it on our strike list.
- I'm trying to win the game.
- I know, I know.
- I take like my finger,
and then I dot it right on the apple,
and then on the other side I dot it.
Then, before it dries--
- Oh, it's so cute like that already.
- Hello.
I kinda do a combination
of zigzag motions or patting motions,
and I just blend it out.
- Wow.
- It shears down.
It shears down really nice.
- Wow, it's gorgeous.
- So pretty, huh?
- [Jenn] Oh my god, give me that.
- Get it, girl. - Give me some.
- You want a little more?
You want another squirt?
- Okay, I'll have a squirt.
- Don't be shy, girl.
But start off with a little, and then build it up.
- Can I use my beauty blender?
- Yeah, you should,
yeah, you should be able to use your beauty blender.
- I love this guy.
He saves everything.
- The beauty blender is just
the freaking greatest of all time.
- Oh no, oh no.
- [Jackie] Oh no.
- Oh no.
- Oh, no, it's okay.
Keep blending, keep blending.
- We can save this.
- I like how you're--
- Yeah, I know.
If you just pound it enough, it'll work out.
- You can use a brush, too.
Actually, it doesn't look that bad now.
You're blending it out good. - Yeah, right.
I'm gonna keep doing this.
- You definitely blended it out better.
- Maybe put a little foundation on here.
- It does take a little bit of time, a little bit of giving.
- Okay, here we go.
Okay, I think I found my groove.
- Oh, yeah.
- I just bump it with the beauty blender--
- Oh, it sheared out really nice.
It sheared out really nice.
Don't you love that we're both using the same product?
- Yeah, I feel so connected.
- Same product, different complexion.
What's your favorite mascara?
- I'm using Shiseido's full lash waterproof.
- Oh.
- It's got this type of brush, so really--
- [Jackie] Oh, that's a good brush shape.
- Yeah.
It really gets into my thin, baby ones.
Your bottom lashes are so long
that they have their own shadow.
- I know, I know.
- [Jenn] They're so long.
- That's not bags under my eyes, guys.
That's a shadow.
- The shadow of my lashes.
- Just so you all know.
Okay, Maybelline Master Chrome, show me what you got.
- Wow.
Wow.
Ah, I can't see.
- Bling, just a little bling.
- Yeah.
- What is that?
- Oh, this is just a lip color.
This is a Cream brand.
This is (mumbles). - Cute!
- It's cute, eh?
- I love the packaging.
That's so cute.
You know, I'm the worst at lip liner.
- Really?
- Yeah, I really am. - Gotta hold your breath?
- I don't know what it is.
I don't know if my lips aren't even or something,
but I always feel like one is higher than the other.
So I'm gonna take my T. rex hands.
- Yep.
Can you reach it?
(Jackie screeches)
(Jackie laughs)
Okay, here you go.
- Friends helping friends.
Look at that teamwork. - I know, got you.
Yeah, I think I'm pretty much all caught up with you now.
- Yay.
That lip color is so pretty.
- Thank you.
- That is such a beautiful color.
That was so easy to fix.
- Oh, nice.
And you're back.
- And now I'm back.
Ooh, I just realized this smells so good.
I need all my lipsticks to have scents.
- Yeah.
That's the only product I don't mind that,
like if it had a scent, I don't hate it.
- Oh, you prefer no scent?
- Yeah.
That's why I really like Simple's stuff,
because it doesn't smell like anything,
'cause there's nothing really in it to--
- That is true.
No, skin care is different, though.
- Yeah, yeah.
- Makeup, you can throw a little cupcake scent in there.
- That's true.
This one smells like chocolate.
- Oh!
The Too Faced line, oh.
- Oh my gosh.
Sometimes I'll just huff it and then just get to work.
- I know.
When I'm organizing my makeup,
I'm like, "Give me this lip gloss. (sniffs)
"Okay, back to work."
Okay, girl, I'm gonna get you out of the impact zone
and use my spray.
I don't wanna get it on you.
- Wait, I wanna try some of that.
- Oh, please do.
Oh, you're gonna love this for your normal skin.
Here you go.
But does it smell good? - Mm-hmm.
- Can you smell it? - Mm-hmm.
So dewy.
- I know.
- I love it.
- I'm done.
We actually managed to get ready at the same time.
- Yeah.
- Yes! - We did it!
- Come through.
- So, we are all done with
our everyday, bumped up makeup look.
I think we did a really good job.
- I'm ready to go out.
- Yeah.
Where are we going?
- We need to get some drinks.
We need to get some reservations popping.
- It's happy hour now.
- Oh, even better.
- Nice!
- Call Uber.
(Jenn laughs)
- Okay, we gotta see who won, though.
- Ooh, yeah, I forgot about that.
Oh my god, who win?
Oh, me?
Oh, didn't I say there were some cash incentives?
- Okay.
- So does that mean you pay?
- All right.
- I mean, you could cover the tip or whatever, the bill--
- I'll do this round.
You are the guest, after all.
Congratulations.
- Thanks, boo.
(both laugh)
It's okay, she's-- - Oh yeah, wait, okay.
- Oh, we're still playing, oh.
- We're still playing.
Is this like the lightning round?
Okay.
Make sure you check out the next episode,
which will be next month.
We're gonna have a new surprise guest.
If there's a makeup look that you want us to try out,
please leave it in the comments down below
and we'll use it for the next round.
Also, I wanna thank Simple
for sponsoring and collaborating with me in this video.
You've gotta check out their Water Boost collection.
I'll leave a link in the description box.
Also, a coupon, so please check it out.
- Turn up.
- Turn up. (laughs)
- Coupons (mumbles) coupons.
We can shimmy to a coupon.
I'm just saying.
- I know, I know, everyone loves a coupon.
- I know.
- Thank you so much for watching,
and I'll see you guys next time.
Bye!
- Bye!
