Hello, everyone. Welcome back.
Thank you so, so much for joining me.
So today we are going to
be reviewing the new Haus Labs.
Now, let me start off with a few things about this.
I actually wasn't going to review this brand, but for
some reason, some random night because I have this habit of
going to bed and then my brain switches on and I'm
like, I need to buy things, I need to do stuff,
I need to decide my future in bed.
I just randomly ordered the Haus Labs like box
that came with like a load of different products
because I couldn't be bothered to choose myself.
So the whole rebrand looks really, really good.
I really like the boxes.
I like the way it's been done.
I like the look of the products as well.
The first Haus Labs I was slightly unimpressed by because
when it came out, it was very... am I in focus?
Now I'm in focus.
It was very underwhelming because in my mind, I thought
it's Lady Gaga, not like, it should be crazy.
I thought she's super creative.
It would be nice to see something
like what she has done now, basically.
So this is a really good rebrand.
And I feel like with celebrity brands, you can
tell when they're a bit more in it.
And I feel like this time around, Lady Gaga herself
may have been a bit more into it in terms
of deciding what's in there, the colors, everything like that.
So this is a really, really cool rebrand.
The one thing I don't like about
this is the clean artistry thing.
I personally don't like the term clean in anything.
If anybody comes to me with a brand, or
for example, on mine and James's podcast The Double Cleanse,
if you've never listened to it, where we talk about
like beauty, skincare, being influencers, all that kind of
stuff, we get some people approaching us to be like,
oh, we have this person on our agency.
They want to be, you know,
would you be interested in having them
as a guest on your podcast?
They want to talk about clean something.
I immediately switch off, no. Clean, no.
It's an unregulated term and people have said, yeah,
but this is what they mean by clean.
The fact that someone can have their own explanation
of what clean means is even more so unregulated.
However, I do have to say that it seems like they
have done their best to keep their products safe to use
on everyone's skin and all that kind of stuff.
So, past that, just before we get into that today.
If this is your first time here. Hi, my name is Robert.
I'm a professional makeup artist
with 16 years experience.
Coming up to 17 years experience, that's a long
time and it makes me feel old every year.
But, it's my goal here to help you become a
pro yourself or just someone who's really good at makeup.
So if that sounds like something you are
interested in, then do please consider subscribing.
Okay, let's take a look at what I got.
So I went onto their website and I saw
this, and I was like, you know what?
You decide for me. Again, here's a
clean makeup thing, which I don't like.
I don't think they needed the word clean to sell this.
I know it's like a craze at the moment, but
they could have just been like, you know what?
We've made it really, we've made some great choices about
the ingredients we use in here to make sure it's
safe for everyone, to make sure everyone can use it.
The term clean didn't really needs to be there
because I think the whole brand itself sells itself.
And I'll show you, I'll show you why.
So this opens up.
I'm going to have to take out everything bit by bit.
But this is a really cool box.
So it opens up, and then inside you
have cheek, lip, all over, and eyes.
So for the cheek, I don't... I've actually rearranged these.
So I don't think it was this order.
I think it was eyes first.
We have some bronzers and highlighters here,
which we'll take a deeper look at.
We have some lip pencils and the lip oil.
I've opened these because I've swatched some.
We have the eye paint, pigment paint.
And then we have some eye pencils here as well.
And I thought that was a really good mixture.
I was like, you know, let them decide.
So we're going to go through those.
I did also buy a...
I also did buy a separate bronzer just so I can get a good shade.
And I did also buy an eyebrow pencil, which
I have got rid of the box for because
I was trying to get rid of card.
And I opened that by accident.
And I did also try one of their lip products,
which I will put a TikTok of later on when
we get to the lips because it was going like
a bit viral, like it actually was.
And it was pretty good.
So we'll get into that a little bit later.
Let's just start with the eyebrows first.
I've already used a wax in my brow because
that's how I like to do my eyebrows.
And this is the Edge Precision Brow Pencil.
Is that what it's called?
I just made that ended bit up. Yes, it is.
So we have our comb one side, which is great.
I love a dense, small comb.
And then we have the pencil here.
Do you ever get a hair, like, on the back
of your neck and it feels like a spider is
going up you because it keeps touching your neck? Okay.
So, you see my brow, I need to
fill in this little area here.
Oh, and this is the shade Noir, so it's the darkest shade.
Nice. Very nice.
I love how precise the pencil is.
Precision Pencil.
I guess it's in the name.
And it's not pitch black, and it's not too gray.
I always say this about brow pencils.
Some brands do it like, pitch black to the point
where it looks fake, or they do it gray and it
kind of stands out against the black brows.
I think that's great.
I think it's not too much.
It's just oh...
I feel like I'm backwards today.
I feel like usually the image is flipped.
I don't know, I don't know if I did something too...
Look, I curled my lashes and they're hanging down.
Anyway. What was I doing?
Oh yeah, I was going to use that pencil, the brush
even, just to lift that up a little bit.
Cute.
Really, really nice.
Really smooth.
Glides on. Like it.
I'm keeping that right there.
Okay, so let's go on with these, the paints.
I can kind of, like, predict how
these are going to be already.
I'm assuming they're going to dry down really
quickly and last a very long time.
I don't want to go in with the
black or anything too harsh just yet.
Let's start with...
Do I put a base down? You know what?
Let's use the flesh tone as a base, see how that goes.
And then we can use whatever on top.
Just because I don't want the redness
in my eyes to show through. This is cool.
This is very neutral. Packaging is cute, I like that.
I'm just going to, yeah, put it on my eyelid.
This is the shade,
what shade is this?
Beige matte.
Very nice.
It just goes on.
Oh. Oh!
Yes!
Oh, I think this might be a new...
you know what? I could use that as concealer just on my lid.
Yeah, oh, that's really nice.
I feel like you do have to pat.
I feel like if you drag too much,
might move the product a little bit too much.
And I think work quite quickly with it because
it is drying down quite quick, which is good.
And no creases in the socket, which is nice.
Having a bit of trouble here.
I think I've got some kind of weird
skin texture on my lid going on there. I like that.
I like that a lot.
It feels comfortable.
It doesn't feel dry or sticky.
Sometimes if you do this, or you know sometimes if you have maybe a
hooded eye, it can feel a little bit sticky up there.
Feels very fresh.
Okay, I don't know why I keep touching it.
Okay, let's go in with Rose Gold Shimmer.
I'm assuming it's a shimmer.
So there's matte and shimmer, I believe, in the range.
Oh. Oh, yeah.
That's nice.
Like a metallic rose gold.
That is cute.
That is wedding day-esque, don't you think?
So with a product like this, I'm actually letting it
dry on the lid, and then I'm taking a tiny
bit through the socket because I don't want to interrupt
it as it's drying, because sometimes you can get a
bit of patchiness, like the one from r.e.m Beauty.
You know that like liquid eyeshadow they
had, which I couldn't stand.
Oh, I like this.
Oh, look. Aww.
Love that. I love that.
I kind of do want to...
I was going to add a bit of black but I'm
kind of scared about how it's going to dry down
and how much time I'm going to get to blend.
And because this is shimmer, sometimes when
you blend over a shimmer, it cracks.
What do I do?
Let's use a tiny...
This could be a mistake.
Tiny bit of black in the outside corners.
Just to add a bit of definition.
This is the shade Black Onyx Matte.
Okay, that is pitch, pitch black.
I'm taking the tiniest bit and yeah. Okay.
Oh, I'm scared.
Okay.
Okay, that took a little while.
I'm going to just go back in with some of that Rose
Gold because I think it's kind of, I kind of brushed a lot away.
Okay, so to be 100% honest with you,
that blending out this black, took concentration.
I can see why...
So far I've only seen this black as a solid color.
Actually, a lot of these eye products, I've only seen
people do like a solid color or not too much blending,
because it is quite a tricky one to blend.
The concentration, I'm sweating, but it looks good once
it's kind of, like, settled and blended in.
What eye is this? This one.
Okay.
I'm going to leave it at that.
I don't want to go back in and
blend anymore. I'm too scared to like, move anything.
So there's no complexion product so far,
foundation, concealer.
So I'm quickly going to whack on my own,
finish up under her eyes, and then we'll move
on to... oh, no, I have eye pencils.
Okay, so concealer and foundation on.
So let's look at the pencils here.
These are the Optic Intensity Eco Eyeliner.
I think we're going to go for the black, of course, or
the brown. Or, how would this...
F*ck it, let's do it. I want to try this one.
This is the shade, Chartreuse Matte.
So one end we have the actual pencil, and
the other end we have a little brush. That's cute.
Let's give this a go.
This could potentially look terrible, but
let's just do it anyway.
Cute. It goes on really smooth. Oh, that's the wrong thing.
Smoothly and nicely.
Yeah.
So obviously we're going to add some lashes to this
and some mascara to break it up a little bit.
Okay, let's move on to bronzer and highlighter.
Now, these look really, really good.
Physically, they look really good, like they,,, yeah.
online, however.
So I have two bronzers here.
I have the shade Medium Level
8, and Medium Level 5.
I saw Medium Level 8, which is this one
and thought maybe it might be
slightly too dark, where as Level 5
seems a bit more my tone.
Then we have two highlighters as well.
The Radiant Gel Powder Highlight. That sounds good,
gel powder. Peach Quartz.
And we have Fire Opal.
This one I don't think is too suitable.
So I'll try the Peach Quartz.
Let's go in with Medium Level 5.
Oh, this is cute packaging.
I like it. It's kind of like this...
Like a very thin layer of plastic.
And then this is inside. Cute. I like that. Nice.
Let's see how it goes.
Yeah, I like this color.
This is really nice.
Subtle bronzer.
You can definitely build it up.
I'm finding myself having to be lighthanded
because you can definitely build up.
And I only want the smallest amount, so
I'm just being very light handed.
But that's really nice.
That's really nice, actually. Very impressed.
That's really beautiful.
Okay.
Should we try a little bit of the darker one?
And maybe we'll tuck it into the deeper areas of my
face just to add a little bit more definition.
Okay, so it's not too much deeper than the other one.
Let's just tuck it into these...
Perhaps we want a tiny bit more...
We'll actually keep this one
aside also, for tan reasons, you know.
Okay, I'm actually really excited to try this,
the highlighter, the gel powder
highlighter. Gel powder sounds like
a really nice texture.
And this is Peach Quartz, which
I think I've said already.
Oh, can you see?
It's kind of iridescent. That's nice.
Iridescent?
Oh!
That looks...
I could eat that. Oh.
Okay.
You know what, let's do a little...
Can't see it. This is why I don't do swatches because my hairy hands and arms.
Okay.
Very nice. Very smooth.
And it also kind of feels like it smooths
out as you blend it in, which is nice.
You know what?
Let's take that other one, the Fire Opal, and
see if we can't use it as a bit
of a suggestion of blush, you know?
Yeah, oh!
Look. Oh, my God. Delicious.
Okay, let's take our bronzer brush that we used,
and I'm just going to do it here.
So we're still keeping it on
the highest points of the face.
So if it's too highlighty, it looks like
highlight but also adds a bit of color.
I love that.
Oh, my God.
Tempted, tempted to just do a little bit right here.
Yes, thank you. Okay, cool. Nice.
I'm kind of going through a stage of
not doing highlighter on my forehead because it's
kind of shiny and tight enough.
Let's move on to lips.
So we have the Lip Oil here and a Lip Pencils.
People were going crazy for this product on TikTok,
and it was one of those things where people
were like, oh, my God, it lasts all day.
It's a shiny gloss.
No, it's like a full coverage gloss that stays shiny.
Like, it stays on and it stays
shiny, and it's transfer-proof and everything.
And people were, like, testing it, but they had it
on their lips, and they were doing, like, the least
to make, to show that it stayed on. They had it on,
they were going, oh, my God, and then they were doing, like...
Oh, my God, it's on.
So I wanted to test it and really rub
it and do all this kind of stuff.
And let me just tell you, I'll add it in here.
Everyone seems to be so incredibly impressed with this
Haus Labs Atomic Shake Lip Lacquer. Now, for those of
you who know me, I am not the person to
pretend I am overly impressed by a product or pretend
a product does something when it doesn't.
So when I saw people saying that this was glossy
but long lasting and didn't transfer, I was like, BS.
BS. Let me try it.
I'm giving it a good shake.
This is a shade Rose Shine.
Not a color I would wear
normally, but testing purposes I will.
So you can't touch your lips together
I've seen, for like, 15 seconds.
I f*cked up here, and I'm too scared to fix it.
Okay, so it's been a bit longer than 15 seconds.
I've seen people do it, and they're
like, oh, my God, it really lasts.
I'm going to go full in.
Well, sh*t.
Nothing.
Absolutely nothing. Wow. Okay.
I was like, no way, no way, no way.
We need some nude colors in this. This is good.
This is really good.
So unless someone is coming up to your
lip and aggressively wiping it, I don't think
this is going to come off.
Maybe oil when you're eating might break
it down a little bit, but wow. Nice.
So I was pleasantly surprised.
I do want to do a wear test with it.
It does come off with
oil, like most waterproof products.
So I'm assuming some oils and foods and stuff like that
may break it down, but it was pretty good.
So these are the Le Monster Lip Crayons, and none of them
are really... you know I don't wear color on my lips.
So we're going to go for Peach Matte and just use it
to kind of lay down a base for the PHD, PHD Hybrid.
I don't know what that means.
We can all Google, right?
Lip oil. And this is a shade Tint, which looks cute.
Oh, I like this shape.
This is cool.
Okay, so this is, like, big enough that you can
literally use it as a lipstick, I like that. And what is it, twist? It twists, okay.
That's incred... it glides, like
glides. It's really, really smooth look.
It's not even dragging my lip.
Yeah, I like that color.
I'm going to do my usual, go around the edges with
a bit of concealer or foundation just to nude it up.
I like the color just to be, like, in the middle here.
I really... that's nice.
That's another one.
Another win.
And I'm guessing those will be the same.
Okay, so let's look at the Lip Oil.
Now, I have to be honest with you.
I'm kind of over lip oils at the moment because everyone
seems to be doing them, and lip oils don't do much.
The Sigma, Sigma's Lip Oil and Lunar Beauty
Lip Oil are my absolute favorites. So we'll try this one.
I like the applicator. That's cool.
Okay, so I would say about this one, I do like how
it acts more like a gloss than a lip oil because
some lip oils are pretty much just oil, and you put
them on, they feel super wet, and then they kind of
fade away, whereas this one is hanging around which I likel.
Okay, let me get on some lashes and then let's summarize.
Is that everything?
Okay, well this is a full face of
the new Haus Labs.
I'm actually very impressed.
I really, really liked it.
There isn't really a negative, to be honest with you.
If I'm being very, very picky,
the only negative is, I would love some more
playtime with these because they dry down super quick.
Not just like, quickly.
Like, very, very quickly.
So you do have to concentrate and kind of take
your time, but also you can't take your time, but
just do little bits at a time and build it
up, and you can be mistake free.
It's a really nice brand.
I really liked the highlighters, and
I really like that more
orangy one, just to add a little bit of
something different, a little bit of a shine. Yeah.
Very impressed. I think go for it
if you want to try some bits from it.
If somebody was like, should I buy this?
I'd be like, sure.
Yeah, they were nice.
Okay, so I would love to know your opinions below if
you've tried Haus Labs yet, the new one and the old
one, let me know what you think of that too.
Thank you so much for joining me.
Please give this video a thumbs up, consider
subscribing, and I will see you very, very soon. Bye.
