Hello everyone, welcome back. Thank you so much for joining me. So today, I know
I've done one quite recently, actually when I post this it will be
three, three weeks ago, or a month ago so maybe not that
long ago. We are doing another round of keep it, fix it,
dump it. So, this is when I pick a few products that I've been sent or I've
bought myself and haven't had the chance to try yet,
and basically decide what I'm gonna do. Keep it means I'm adding it to my
collection, fix it means I'm gonna keep it but I
wish it was better, and kind of like this. Dump it means I'm not actually throwing
it away, it means it gets donated or I give it to somebody
or I put it aside for another video where, you know, like a second chances
video or products I regret buying. So let's get
into it. England is doing this thing where it
decides to be warm for a few days, and it's too much. Okay, I need,
I need a fan. So let's do it. I already have on
eyebrows, and eye primer but I do have a few interesting things here in front of
me. So, what I'm going to do, I'm going to
start with the eyes. So for the eyes today,
we are using the Revolution X Soph Super Spice
palette. I do have the other Spice palettes and I've liked them so far.
And this is the inside, oh! You know I'm trying so desperately not
to use, look at these purples but they look so good.
So we're going to give that a go, and I do have a few other bits from the
collection which we're going to use throughout this video also.
So let's get into it, let's do...
So straight up I'm looking at the palette, and the good thing about
palettes like this is if I'm feeling, I mean when you look
at it first of all you're like, oh it's quite a colorful palette
but when you actually look a little bit closer you have enough neutrals here
to make like an every day. You have, you know, your warmer tones, you have some
colder tones. So this is a really great all-round
palette in terms of the shades and the colors.
I don't know where to... I feel like I've done purple and blue recently, and green
but then if I was not to do it... and I've done this.
Hmm. Okay, you know what, it's gonna have purple tones
and there's nothing I can do about that. I'm sorry, I'm sorry if you're bored of
purple, I can't help it. So, let's start with the
shade Lockdown, which is this kind of, you can see, you can see the color. Okay,
let's start with that right in here. I wanted to do something a little bit... usually, I
start with my outside corners like this way in but I kind of want to
fade this.
I'm looking at my monitor, and you can't really see the color how it's showing up
in real life, like, it looks like how it looks in the palette in real life,
so I'm hoping that's coming across on camera. There's something about,
Revolution have this hit or miss formula but I do find, I
like a lot of their stuff, don't get me wrong
but I do find that their collaborations are so much
better quality. So, when they collaborate with
influencers the palettes are just so much more...
I just said better quality, I don't know, I'm trying to explain it.
This feels very like a creamy matte, so it's not like
dry dry matte, it feels very creamy even to the touch
in the palette itself, when I put my finger in it feels very creamy. I'm gonna
go in with Dreamy which is the shade right here, and
it, it has this kind of like, it's almost
like a purply,
like a green and purple and brown. So what I'm gonna do, I'm gonna do a
layer with a brush and then I'm gonna go in with my finger.
Okay, so we'll come back to that color again in a minute. I just want to go for
Papa, which is the shade here. And what I'm trying, what I'm aiming for
is I'm building it up gradually because I want to kind of
light and soft going into like a deep dark.
And then, actually I should have probably done this before I did that middle shade,
because I want that middle shade to go over
this because it has almost that like transformative kind of
texture and finish.
The shadows definitely have more of that kind of like pressed pigment
texture, where you know you're gonna get a good, good color payoff.
Cute, I like that. I'm actually gonna take the black shade, it's called Night Owl.
And black, I don't want it to be pure black, I'm using it to kind of
change the depth of the purple.
Oh, you know what, let's take some of that,
the Lockdown shade, here. I'm just gonna use
that to kind of gently fade out
here. Oh yeah, let's do that. So I'm gonna put it right in
here. The great thing as well about a color like, color like
this is you don't always have to think of it as,
you know, that, that particular color. For me, on my skin tone,
it brightens up that whole inside area, so it's almost like
a correcting powder for me but it does subtly change up the eyeshadow a little
bit, so there's an added bonus everywhere, if you think of it like
color theory, you know. We'll sharpen up those outside corners in just a minute.
Actually, let's do that now, let me put some cute...
Do some concealer under my eye, I'm just going to skip it because
I haven't got any new concealer but just out of interest, I'm using the Juvia's
Place concealer. Okay, so I'm going to go back in under the eyes with that nice
bright purple, Papa, and just build that up.
I'm gonna take Dreamy again, and just tap that under here.
Let's take Night Owl a tiny tiny bit, and get as close to the lash line as
possible, and then we'll blend that in as well.
Smudge it out so it's not like a harsh line.
Okay, cute. So the Soph x Revolution Super Spice palette is a definite keep.
I really want to get into this green and this tone up here.
Now, next up I probably should have done this before
I did my concealer but I totally forgot I was using it. And this is a product
that I have, I used to use this ages ago, and I'm talking
years, and years, and years, and years. And that's Nanoblur.
So, oh... why does it look such a weird color? It's like neon orange on here but
on the thing it's like orange, like plain orange. So it's an
"instant skin perfector for all skin types, helps to
instantly improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and enlarged pores."
Now, here's where I find my enlarged pores are, around my nose, around these
little crevices here and on my forehead. So, I am going to use
a little tiny bit. It recommends that you use this after
foundation with a sponge and tap it on top but
here's the deal, I'm using a powder foundation today and it says to use it
under powder, so I'm gonna do that. And I do remember
really, really liking this because it does just blur
like it says, fine lines and wrinkles, and texture, textured skin. This feels,
I feel like maybe they've improved the formula because this doesn't feel as...
when I used it before, it definitely had like a texture to it, like I wouldn't
be comfortable putting makeup on top of it usually.
And it does say to apply it on top of moisturized skin which I've done.
Oh, I don't really feel like it's done anything, it's kind of just mattified my
skin. I remember it being better than that.
“Developed to provide high definition, ready to...”
Hmm, that's so strange. I remember it having
a, a better effect.
Is it slowly doing it? I can't tell. I'm just gonna leave it to the side, we'll come
back to it, we'll come back to that. Okay, so foundation. I am going to go in
with the Fenty Beauty Pro Filt'r Soft Matte Powder, this is the
shade 230. What, first things first, no,
no, no, no. Not for initial application, for touch-ups, yes.
One thing I would say about the compact itself is the sponge like this,
especially when it's so thin, when you touch up with it or apply with it
different kinds of oils and stuff get into this sponge, so by then putting it
in here this completely enclosed with no real air to breathe, it can get
really disgusting. Maybe some holes underneath here would
be nice. But then when you go to pop that back in the powder, you're gonna get that
surface hardness, you know when there's random spots of dry
dark patches that you kind of have to crust off?
That's oil or like dampness getting into the product. So it could be from your
skincare, it could be from a brush you've just
cleaned or a brush with old product on, or, you know, a brush that's just
touched your face with skincare on. So, I absolutely wouldn't recommend using
this or having that in there. I see a lot of
people doing this recently with the, what's it called, the L'Oreal
Infallible Powder, using that sponge. Which looks great on
like TikTok, with like a bit of a filter on.
I'm gonna use the Sigma Flat Kabuki, this is the F80.
And this is how I use powder foundations on anyone, with a flat brush, and I do it
in circle motions going outwards like this.
You can still get the full coverage with a brush because it's still that,
that flat like density, you know, that that sponge has. Would be interesting to see
how this sits on top of that blurring stuff. It's got a strange smell if
I'm honest. I would like some more coverage up here.
I've kind of been picking my forehead recently which I know we shouldn't do
but that's life, isn't it. It's, it has a weird smell, it kind of smells
plas, like plastic. So I always take a smaller brush
afterwards, and just go in the areas that maybe need a little bit more
defined... precision, sorry. So maybe over blemishes
or in these little like crevices here. It's a good, it's a good powder, you know.
It gives like quite a nice full-ish coverage. It's not sitting very
well on top of that... or it that just me? That Nanoblur stuff. I
don't know if you can see, it's kind of like
caught onto it a little bit. Is it? I don't know.
I immediately want to like hydrate this but I'm going to hold out for a little
bit because I'm very oily. I kind of want to see how it sits on my
skin, and usually it sits fine with oil. I'm gonna put that aside
again, just to see how it looks in a minute. Okay, let's go back to
Soph and the Revolution collection, and let's take a look at the highlighters
that came with the collection. So there is Sugar Frosting, which is
quite a light highlighter. There's Cookies &
Cream, which is this one here. That's a nice
gold tone. And then there is Honey Glaze, which is a
lovely gold and kind of like rose gold tone there.
I'm gonna go in with both the Sugar Frosting and Cookies
& Cream. I'm gonna start off with Cookies &
Cream, because it's that mid-tone. I'm gonna start with this more like
intensely gold side first, and just build that up on like a larger
scale.
Oh yes, nice. Nice. Oh, I like that a lot.
Yes. And then I'm gonna take the lighter shade,
and I'm gonna go in with literally the lightest one in here with a very small
brush, like an eyeshadow blending brush, and I'm
just gonna place that on the highest points of that highlight
to get a really intense shine there. Almost like,
you know when you see like thermal, is it thermal?
Readings, I don't know what I'm saying. You know what I mean.
So then, can you see how it just catches more there and then gradually catches
the rest, and I'll use that everywhere else when I
do a bit more of a highlight. I'll just do the smallest amount on my forehead
because, because I've used a lot of powder
products and my forehead has more kind of texture on it, I don't really want to
add too much. These are stunning, they look so smooth
on the skin. So keep all of those. So I got the Dose of Colors and Nyma
Tang nude lip set. These shades look
edible, they look... yes, like you could eat them. So, let me just
show you the whole set here. So we have the lip liner, the liquid to matte
lipstick, we have the stay glossy lip gloss, and
then the classic lipstick. I absolutely love a shade like
this. So what I'm gonna do, I'm gonna take the gloss first. I haven't really used
Dose of Colors that much, I think I used one of their glosses in like a Halloween
look. I'm not sure why, because it wasn't
really like Halloweeny. Oh, oh,
oh, it smells like, it smells like Christmas.
And I like to do the whole like bleeding lip thing. Oh!
I love that. I want to try the lipstick, I don't know why I put gloss on first.
Let's try the lipstick which is a really nice
nude.
They all smell like Christmas. Okay, I'm gonna, I'm gonna like just gently tap this on the
lip because it's quite a cold
nude. I just want to like deepen that a little bit, make it look a
bit more like
blood. So let's go into the gloss. I love a nice bleeding lip. Okay,
perfect. So, I'm gonna keep these two. I don't use liquid lipsticks or lip
pencils so I'm probably gonna maybe put that in a little, keep those
together and donate those. I'm not gonna open them or anything like that to have
a look at them, I'd rather they stay fresh. A lot of places aren't accepting opened
makeup at the moment which is understandable, so we're gonna keep
those shut. Okay, so I also have from
Colourpop the... what are these? Super Shock Blush. Oh,
I love Super Shock Blushes. And we have the shade Chiffon,
Georgette, and Veil? Voile? They always feels so nice and creamy. Okay,
let's take the deepest shade, this one. I want to use a tiny bit just to warm
up the cheek area.
Cute. I, I like Super Shock Blushes anyway, so
I'm gonna keep all of these. The powder is still looking a little bit like
powder to me, so I'm gonna go in with the Milk Hydro
Grip Refresh spray. One thing I used to do
a lot when I was, when I would apply powder foundation
either on myself or on clients, is apply the powder
foundation and then just completely soak it and
then like fan it dry, or wait for it to dry.
Because, if you've ever scraped off a powder foundation onto like a tissue or
into like a dish, and then mix it with a refreshing mist
or setting spray it makes this like
unmovable, unbudgeable like foundation. Like a clay like texture foundation
which sits on the skin incredibly well. So if you want super
long-lasting, if you're like a dancer right, or, or if you work on stage
and you want something that's really long lasting, do that, honestly
it'll last forever. Now watch somebody take that advice and put it in a TikTok,
and pretend they discovered it. I'm joking, I love you TikTok. Okay, I'm
gonna whack on some lashes and then be done. Okay, so this is
the finished look. I'm thinking about the Fenty
powder, I'm gonna keep it because it is nice,
it is good. The Nanoblur, I would really like to fix
this. I think it was really great, again, I don't know if they've changed up the
formula but I remember using it the first time
and thinking, oh my god my face looks so smooth and completely different. And now
I'm looking at... this is blocking my light, and now I'm
looking at my face I'm like... And when I applied it this time around I
was like, well nothing's really changed, it's just mattified my face. but you can
buy mattifying things. The whole point of
this was that it completely blurred your skin, so
I'm a little bit like, that's a bit of a disappointment, so fixing that. But I'm
probably going to keep it and use it on days where I don't really want to do
anything, maybe I just want to wear some SPF, and some of this and get on with my
day, you know. Well, that was everything. Let me know
what you think below. I'd love to know if you've tried any of these products and
what you thought of them. Thank you so much again for joining me.
