Hey everyone, it's your girl Jen,
and today's video, we are doing a glam look.
It's been a very long time since I've done a full beat,
wig on, creative look.
So that's what we're doing today.
And it's gonna be for a video party
that I'm gonna be on later
because just because we're social distancing,
doesn't mean we're not socializing.
It's very important to get that connection.
And I wanna do a huge shout out to Belif,
for sponsoring today's video.
So lets get started.
So I'm gonna start with skin first.
I'm gonna be using Belif's limited edition
Aqua Bomb Deep Hydration set.
If you are interested in clean skin care
and you need a kick starter,
this set is perfect for you.
So it comes with the Aqua Bomb Jelly Cleanser,
Aqua Bomb Hydrating Toner,
and then the Moisturizing Eye Bomb
and then the True Cream Aqua Bomb.
I'm just gonna grab the Aqua Bomb Hydrating Toner
and I'm just gonna wet my reusable cotton round.
I'm so stoked that these things exist.
So I'm just gonna swipe this all over my face.
This is just like a really lightweight toner
that refreshes and hydrates the skin.
There is baobab extract in here
which really helps retain that moisture.
And now for moisturizer,
I'm gonna go in with Belif's The True Queen Aqua Bomb.
This is a really lightweight moisturizer
that pairs really beautifully with the toner.
It's like this purfait texture which I really like.
It really quenches and refreshes dull, dry skin
and I just love how dewy if makes me look.
I love using jell, lightweight creams in the day.
You can also use this at night,
but it just really works well
in the day for me, under makeup.
It's like a tall glass of water,
but for your face.
So while I wait for this to sink in,
I wanna let you guys know that this
limited edition set by Belif
is on sale at Sephora right now
for their spring sale.
The VIB sale ends on April 29th,
so definitely grab it before it's gone.
It's actually been the number one pick at the sale.
If you are interested in clean beauty,
this set is absolutely for you.
It has the clean seal at Sephora,
which means that there are no harmful ingredients
or chemicals in the products.
So if you wanna check it out,
I will leave the link in the description box.
So for foundation,
I'm gonna go in with
Bite Beauty's Change Maker Micellar foundation,
I am in the shade M55.
And this has been my quarantine foundation of choice
because I don't need a lot of it,
like this is all I need.
It also helps that it's the perfect color match for me
and it just blends out really nice.
I just love really hydrating formulas
because my skin is definitely on the dryer side.
I'm very curious to know if you guys
still get ready at home.
Have you guys been skipping the makeup days more often?
So now for concealer,
I'm gonna go in with this one by Laura Mercier
I'm the shade 2N.
As you can see,
I'm just putting it on the usual suspects.
(upbeat music)
so now we're gonna set everything
with Hourglass's Soft Focus Setting Spray.
I've actually never used this product before,
it is brand new.
But instead of using a setting powder,
I'm just gonna use this spray
and I wanna see how it turns out.
Okay so it's definitely on the fine side,
it's like a micro-mist which is always nice,
we don't want to have like splotches on the face.
Okay so we're just gonna let that sink in,
and then I'm gonna do my brows
with the Maybelline Brow Ultra Slims.
I feel like I've been using this
for the entire year at this point.
So are you guys the type of people
where you just decide to spontaneously
FaceTime your friends
or do you kinda schedule it like
and in-person hang out?
I feel like it's not that big of a surprise
to know that I even plan my FaceTime dates,
I think it is no surprise that I am definitely a planner.
I'll text my friends and be like,
"hey, are free later tonight?"
Or I'll say like,
"are you free tomorrow night at eight?",
and I'll plan it that way.
I'm just not a very spontaneous person,
I can be spontaneous if I carve out the time
to be spontaneous.
I just find that for me,
every hour is a kind of accounted for.
And I prefer to carve out time for people
because that way I'm not thinking of something else
in the back of my head.
If I put out the time for my friend or my family member,
my full attention is to them during that time.
So for eye shadow,
I'm gonna go in with this one by Pat McGrath.
I always forget which mothership pallets they are,
but it's the one with hints of blue and purple.
I'm gonna go in with this topi color over here.
I'm just gonna start putting it on my outer corner.
I've been doing Zoom or FaceTime at least once a week.
I've noticed that if I don't do that,
then I start to feel just more in my head.
Since we're not getting the normal social interaction,
I just tend to ruminate more.
It's kind of like an echo chamber,
if you have one thought,
it just kind of bounces around your head
and it just doesn't stop,
and it gets louder and louder.
And I noticed that when that process starts to happen,
I'm like, wait a minute,
I should probably call and schedule a FaceTime call.
So you just got this darker tope shade over here
and I'm gonna just kinda define the eyes a little bit more.
When I start to hear more of
the same insecurities run over my head
over and over again,
I realize, okay, it's time to talk to one of my friends.
It's weird, my mind
always likes to go to a random cringe moments
from like six or seven months ago,
or even like a year.
And I know for a fact
that I'm the only person
really thinking about that incident.
When you're overthinking something,
chances are, you are the only person
that's thinking about it.
We are the biggest stick figure in our lives
if that makes sense.
We are all starring in our own movie
and we are like the main lead.
So everyone's too busy thinking about themselves
to think about anything that you have done.
Unless you've done something really out of line.
But chances are everyone is too busy
thinking about themselves.
And I feel like that's something that
I always have to remind myself
when I catch myself thinking, like, Oh my God
I can't believe I said that at that party.
I'm just, but no one really cares.
All right, so I just kinda smoked out the edges
and now I'm gonna go in with this golden color over here.
I think we're definitely at a place where we're realizing,
damn, we can get a lot of stuff done,
just through video calls.
Cause back in the day,
we would just go to a bunch of these meetings
that really didn't have to be meetings,
yes it's good to have that face to face contact,
but you could actually get a lot done
just by video conferencing.
So now I'm just gonna do a wing
with the M cosmetics eye liner.
So for mascara I'm gonna in with this one by Mac.
I feel like a lot of people's quarantine
set ups have been a little bit different.
There's like the really social butterflies
who always have some sort of happy hour to be a part of,
or like a game night.
I know that there's a feature on Netflix
where you can watch the movie
or the TV show at the same time.
That's something I'm interested in
but I've never actually tried it.
There is the people who are really going overdrive
but with productivity and learning new skills
and working on that project
that they've always wanted to work on.
I feel like I'm definitely following that category.
If I find myself bored,
then I just find something to do.
It's kind of hard for me to just sit still.
So for lashes, I'm gonna go in with Kiss's Look So Natural,
in the style, Flirty.
I feel like when I was younger,
I was bored all the time,
in middle school and high school.
But I think once I moved out of my parent's house,
I always kind of found something to do.
Whether it was like this channel,
or if it was painting,
or organizing my room.
I fee like I've just never really let myself feel bored.
But I was telling this to my therapist
and she actually says that boredom is good
because it can actually stimulate a lot of creativity.
Even my channel was created through boredom.
Like I had nothing to do so I was like
hey, maybe I'll make these YouTube videos.
Okay wow, these are my favorite lash style.
They're just so natural.
I feel like it just completely changed the look already.
For bronzer, I'm gonna go in with
Paparazzi by IL Makiage
The thing I'm most excited to do after
this quarantine is over is absolutely go visit my family.
I miss my Mom and my Dad and my brother so much.
They're so close, but it's weird that I can't see them.
I'm used to seeing them at least once a week
or like three times a month.
I see them quite frequently.
So now for highlighter, I'm gonna go in with Laura Mercier's
Magic Hour face Illuminator Palette.
And I'm gonna go in with this gold one over here.
But I gotta admit that this week
has been the fastest for me.
Like I've been getting more of my flow.
It's kinda crazy how people
can get used to things and adapt.
And now for my lip color,
I'm gonna go in with Bobby Brown's
Crushed Oil Infused Gloss
in the shade Free Spirit.
All right, now I'll take off these clips.
All right guys, this is the finished look
I am very excited for my Zoom party,
we are gonna play scattergories
which I think will be so fun.
I have planned everything,
I'm gonna send everyone
the photos of the list and then we're gonna do it together.
So I'm really excited for that.
If you guys are interested
in any of the products that I used,

And thank you so much for watching.
Bye, mwah.
