- My makeup bag's just getting more expensive
the longer I work here.
- I had to buy a makeup cabinet, just for makeup.
Hey I'm Chloe.
- I'm Becky.
- And we are producers and editors for As/Is.
- Whee! The year is almost over,
I don't know where it went.
- I know, it's terrifying.
- But it's nearly 2019, so I think it's the perfect time
to have a little look back on our favorite
moments, and also our favorite beauty finds.
- So I wanted to share my favorite makeup product
that I found this year. It's not very unique,
you can get it at Ulta, you can get it at Sephora,
it's by Benefit Cosmetics, which I love cause
their stuff is so cute. Wait for it.
- She's got an example.
- It is this. And I've never tried Benefit mascara
before that. Cause I have my go to which is L'Oreal.
But yeah, this is really good.
Got a nice little brush. Look at that.
You just put it on your eyelashes.
- No.
- It doesn't clump, it goes on,
makes your lashes look longer.
- I never actually explored pricier mascaras,
than drugstore brands, I didn't know there'd
be much difference, but I actually really like a couple.
Like there's a Tarte one I really like too.
My makeup bag's just getting more expensive
the longer I work here.
- I had to buy a makeup cabinet, just for makeup,
because I have so much stuff that I love so much
and I wanted to display it in a
beautiful way in my bathroom.
Tell us about yours! I can't speak today.
Tell us about yours!
- Well, mine is actually also Benefit, ironically.
- This is not sponsored by Benefit, honestly.
- No, they just happen to be good.
I recently was introduced to Ka-brow,
which is a kinda dip pot for your brows.
Ooh, very used, cause I love it.
It's cute, comes with your little brush,
and it's one of the only products I've found
that actually can create brows.
Cause a lot of things I've tried kind of
enhance what you have, and I have 90s brow to the max,
so I have to build an actual eyebrow.
- I also have it, and I love it.
That's what I use everyday on my eyebrows too.
So I wanted to ask you, young sister of mine.
- Me?
- Yes, cause you're the only other human on this video.
What's been some of your favorite
As/Is videos you've done this year?
- Definitely when we tried to sew clothes.
- [Chloe] Yes! Me too!
- Oh my god, it was just so...
Actually, weirdly, at the time, it was horrendous.
- [Chloe] Literally it was the worst
producing of a video that I've ever done.
Horrific.
- Yeah. Literally I just sat there,
I was like, I cannot make this happen.
- So okay. When you do a shoot, you have a time limit.
Especially if you have a PA,
and we had someone helping us that we hired,
but you can only have them for a certain amount of time.
And like, we're supposed to finish our day at six.
And it had gotten to five o'clock,
and we hadn't even really started the sewing part yet.
We'd just cut all the bits out.
Usually when we try stuff for videos,
it's not like a lot harder than you think it's gonna be,
but this was legitimately 50,000 times harder
than I ever imagined it would be.
- And we looked so stupid because
there's so many people that can make clothes.
- I gave up, Becky managed to finish hers.
- Yeah, because I didn't follow the rules in any way.
- Yeah.
- The edit is very funny to us,
because we are genuinely angry,
which very rarely happens in videos.
- We were so incredibly overwhelmed,
that it just came out in hysterics.
- Yeah.
- So, next thing we wanted to talk about was
our favorite hair products of 2018.
I have my products that I've been using
for a couple years, which is Pravana products,
they're really good. But, I did this video,
a fire haircut. And these people
trim your split ends with fire.
But they have their own hair line,
and they had this serum that they gave to me.
And it's really good! Let me get it.
- Really? Oh I don't know about this.
- Yeah, so it's Moehair Serum, silk,
oh it's not from gold serum.
100% pure silk hair shine. Do you want some?
- Yes. Oh my gosh! - A little goes a long way.
- Oh no! I'm gonna have a grease ball.
- I'll have some.
- Okay.
- See I really like the smell.
I don't know what the smell is, but it's really good.
- So I don't really use any hairspray or serum particularly,
but I did start doing a little pink tinge to my hair
now and again when I've fancied it lately.
I've figured out if you put a tiny dot
of Manic Panic Hot Pink, if you put a tiny,
tiny, tiny dot of this - A little goes a long way!
- A little massively goes a long way.
I've had a couple of mishaps.
Put a little dot in with a lot of conditioner,
and then leave it on for a bit,
you get a deep conditioning mask
mixed with sort of baby pink, rose gold hair.
And then it just washes out.
Because I had a shampoo version of a different brand,
and it just dried your hair out.
Whereas if you're adding it to conditioner,
it's better for your hair. And it will last forever,
because I'm using a dot every time.
- So, we're sisters, if you hadn't figured that out.
Luckily we're also best friends,
so we do a lot of stuff together.
And we actually went to Costa Rica this summer
for the first time together, and it was amazing.
- It was.
- Our favorite moments from 2018,
we both have a moment from Costa Rica in that list.
We went to three different spots across Costa Rica,
so we saw three very different places.
- First night we went to a beach town called Tamarindo.
So we walked out onto the beach,
and it was one of those places that has
a beachfront with the trees on the sand,
which is, I've never seen in real life.
- Like a jungle on the beach. - Yeah.
And then like little restaurants nestled along.
And the sunset was so beautiful,
and the light just went from daylight
to kind of pink, so it was just amazing
to experience somewhere that wasn't America for a minute.
- I love that moment too, but then I also remember
the third spot that we went to in Costa Rica
was where this huge volcano is,
and there are hot springs everywhere
because the volcano heats up all the water.
We got dropped off in the shuttle
at our hotel that we booked,
and we didn't realize when we booked it
how cool the hotel was.
So we get there and we start walking around,
and it has it's own little zoo,
everything is beautifully manicured,
plants everywhere, flowers everywhere.
There's like a giant fish tank,
there's, how many, 11 pools?
- [Becky] Something crazy.
- [Chloe] Something really crazy like that,
like a slide in half the pools.
- [Becky] A swim up bar.
- [Chloe] A swim up bar, that's the main thing.
It was the most luxurious place
I've ever stayed in, honestly.
- Yeah, and it was so cheap.
- Yeah, it was really good value.
I don't know, it made us feel bougie.
- Yeah, it's nice to bouge once in a while.
- Exactly. Oh, and then the other
favorite moment from 2018.
Becky never used to work for Buzzfeed.
She used to come in and be in videos with me,
and be talent.
- I got offered an editing gig here,
and so I'm finally in the building.
I've been let in, the door has been opened.
And I shuffle my way in.
- We have our own channel together,
so we've been working together for a long time.
But it's really nice cause she's on my team,
she's on As/Is, so we all work together,
so we get to make more videos together,
and it's just very nice!
- It's very nice, that's exactly what it is.
- Okay, we have one more thing
we wanted to talk to you about
our favorite clothing item of the year.
One pieces were very in this summer,
and I hadn't worn a one piece since I was like 14 years old,
because in my eyes they just weren't cool.
But then they started to bring out
all these really nice designs over the last few years,
and especially this year. So I was like you know what,
I'm gonna take the plunge, gonna buy my first one piece.
I was just in Forever 21, and it was
a huge Forever 21, I tried on like five different ones,
and I found my perfect swimsuit.
- What is it?
- Let me show you. It's this.
- [Chloe] It's really cool on, because it's
high leg, and it has little cutouts,
so it's super cute. It was great value,
it was like 20 something bucks.
What's your favorite?
- Mine is very recent. I do love the winter season
when it becomes the holiday time
when you're allowed to wear a butt ton of sequins
and long sweaters. - Oh, and long sweaters.
- I saw this top at the mall the other day,
and it was more expensive than I'd usually pay.
But it was just so interesting and unique,
it made me feel a bit extra, which I don't usually.
And it's this.
- Ooh, shine.
- It's so shiny, it's Ivy Park, which is Beyoncé's brand.
And it's got this really cool slightly cowled neck.
It's just really good quality,
because it's not super cheap. And it's got this cool
elastic bit, so it's kind of athleisure-y,
but on a night out, so I wore it once
with an Adidas skirt.
It's worth the money to treat yourself,
it just makes you feel better - Yeah.
- Once in a while, so that, and you'll wear it
multiple times, plus it's kind of unique.
Festive, and sportive.
- Alright, well here's to a successful 2019,
and happy holidays from us.
- Yes! I'd cheers if I could.
