Hello, everyone. Welcome back.
Thank you so much for joining me.
It is Keep It, Fix It, Dump It for March 2023.
I'm gonna say it every month. Oh, my God,
it's come around so quick.
So let's just dive straight into it.
Am I going to keep these products?
Which means I'm going to keep them.
Am I going to fix them?
Which means I'm going to keep them.
But I wish they were like this.
I wish they worked like this. Or am I going to dump them?
Which means donation.
Or given them to a family friend or something like that.
Okay, so first up, we have the Priyanka Palette,
and this is from Max Factor. Masterpiece Nude Palette.
This was gifted to me in PR,
along with the whole collection. There was nails
polishes, lipsticks, everything like that.
In all honesty, I don't think there's
anything truly exciting about this palette.
I am looking at these kind of finishes,
and they do have, like, a nice shimmery
finish, but there's nothing majorly like, oh, wow.
Do you know what I mean?
But we'll give them a go and see how we feel.
So let's just start off with, I want to start off with
this grayer tone right here and just kind of, like, sculpt out,
bit of an eye shape and see how we get on.
This is nice. This will be a nice contour for some people,
maybe for those of you with fairer skin tones.
This is, isn't Nick Jonas her husband or something?
I'm not good with my celebrities, but
I believe that's who it is.
Strange. It's a strange color.
It doesn't look on the eyes...
Like it almost has this brown beigey nude here, whereas
in this palette, I mean, you can see in the
palette it's a lot grayer, a lot more muted.
It's not terrible, though.
Let's go for this, like, reddish brown here.
Hi, my angel baby.
And we'll take that through the socket.
There's quite a lot of dust
in the actual palette itself.
It is going on nice and smoothly.
Max Factor is, you know, I know it's not
very readily available in the US.
So I know you can get it at Walmart.
Some very basic bits.
But considering it's an American brand, it
did surprise me to find out that
it actually wasn't available in the US, mostly.
That's a nice color.
Again, not really how it looks in the palette at all.
It looks more orange.
Despite the color underneath, it's definitely coming out more orangey.
Interesting.
I want to try this pinky shimmer here.
It looks like a really nice color.
This texture is a little bit disappointing.
It looks very dry on my lid, actually.
I thought it was going to have...
let me just use my finger.
I thought it was going to have more of a...
Oh yeah, much better with finger.
It looks like that when you swatch it in the
palette, but actually, when it's on the lid, it doesn't
have the same effect. It looks a little bit crusty.
I hate to use the word crusty, but it does look a bit crusty.
You know what I might do?
There's a shade next to it which
looks more like a brighter peachy tone.
So I might try that on top.
This one here.
I'm going to take a little bit
of that darker one we use a second time
and just tap it into this corner.
I don't think the look I was
planning on is really going to work with this texture.
Oh, I actually, I really don't like it.
The way the shimmer's sitting on the lid
or, like, metallicy, I guess it is.
It just looks, close up,
you can almost see my skin underneath.
It's a really strange formula.
Let's just make it presentable, at the least.
The matte's nice.
The matte shades are really nice.
The texture is really beautiful.
Others, not so much.
This is going to be a dump for me.
I don't see myself using it as much.
And also for a palette that isn't so
exciting in terms of its color range.
Like it's nothing...
It, I mean, it's a nice...
It's a nice color range because it's wearable, but at
the same time, there's nothing in there where I'm like...
Even the shimmers were a little bit underwhelming.
They look kind of cute, but
they're still a bit underwhelming.
I'm not a fan of this one. That's a dump.
Thanks for sending it to me, though. I appreciate it.
Let's give up on those eyes.
One thing I've been using, I did an
ad with Ole Henriksen recently for these.
And these are the Banana Bright Vitamin C Stick.
Really beautiful.
Color correct, they're color correctors.
That come in like this
deeper shade, this is Pumpkin.
This isn't an ad. This isn't part of the ad, by the way.
I just really like them, which is why
I did the ad in the first place.
And then they do a lighter, which I think is Banana,
and then they have Apricot, which is this mid tone.
So I'm just going to use a bit of
Apricot and Banana under my eyes as my concealer.
You probably...
Did I talk about the eye cream ages ago?
The camera just didn't do it justice though.
But it's like a super, super quick
way just to color correct and conceal.
I just appreciate that it's a good product, you know?
Good products. I like their products, Ola...
I say it wrong.
Olay... Ole Henriksen?
And I'll just whack some foundation on and we'll be good.
So I'm not talking about the foundation
that we're going to use today, because
I'm doing that in a separate video.
But I did want to talk about...
Oh, my God. It's got really... I put in a bag by accident,
and it's got, like, the fluff from the bag on.
But this is from... I have it in here.
Coco Cosmetics by Chloe.
I've never tried this.
This is an old product in terms of release,
but everyone raved about this sponge and how soft
it was and how bouncy it was. And beautiful. It was.
So I'm going to try this one, and then I also
have a mini one, which I'm going to use to kind
of help further blend my product under the eye here.
I'm just going to go and wet them.
So I have dampened them both.
This is quite big.
And this is also a little bit bigger than it
was, of course, because they puff up, and I rung
them out with a towel because I don't like my
beauty sponges to actually give off water as we're blending.
So let me just try the one for under the eyes.
Just to help kind of further blend
that into the skin around the areas here.
Cute, cute, cute.
I think the real test will be our foundation.
So, let me just try this shade.
I'll just see how this is, but I might have to mix two.
I got a really horrible spot that's
just come out of absolutely nowhere.
Okay, so I'm going to try this sponge, this side, and then I
just want to try, like, my normal brush on the other
and just see if I can really see much of a difference.
To me, initial opinion is this sponge is too big
for my face, like, to get in all the crevices and such,
but I can always use the smaller one for that.
I don't think a beauty sponge needs to be that big.
The texture is really nice and
the bounce is really nice.
I just wish that it was maybe in between
these two sizes, like a normal Beauty Blender size.
I'm not sure as to why it's so huge.
Okay, see, that's the coverage one, with just one.
And I do want to go over a little bit more.
Like, I'm kind of wanting to go in with a brush
because it's so, it's so big.
I'm just not getting that concentration of product that I want.
That I'll get from a brush.
Let me just try it with a brush on the other side, this foundation.
I just feel a bit more
covered with a brush after one layer.
And I feel like I can get a bit
closer to the brow and a little bit closer
to around the nose here, for example.
See, after one layer, I just feel more covered
on this side then I do this side.
Yes, I look ghostly and sickly.
I do have another shade in this foundation.
I'm actually just going to go over just so I
can get all those little bits, like you see, like,
round the nose here, for example, and right in that
crease, that crevice, up around my hairline, which I can't really
go too close with the sponge and especially around
my brow because I haven't got that precision.
And I don't want to like, especially after putting product in
my brow, I don't want to go over it.
So here's the deal.
I'm going to fix these because I do
really like this texture and this bounce.
I think it's really beautiful.
These are really beautiful sponges.
The small one, being this shape,
really has no kind of precision still.
I need it to have
a really pointy edge,
or I need one of these edges to be,
you know, a little bit, just to get up around here.
And this is so big that areas on me,
like, if I want to go up here, I'm getting my
hair, I'm getting my brow, I'm getting a bit of everything.
I think it's nice to have that precision.
It's a fix for me.
But I do think people would love this product, and they
evidently do because a lot of people talk about it.
I just don't think it's right for
how I like to apply makeup.
So that's going to be a fix for me.
Okay, so next up we have the
Studio London Flaunt Flawless...
Flaunt Flawless Bronzing Cream No.4.
I love a cream. So let's try it out.
I'm going to go in with a stipple brush just
to have a little bit of a lighter application.
I get a feeling I might need
something with a little bit more coverage.
This spot is terrible.
It's painful.
It doesn't smell like anything. Can you see it?
Does it look like anything?
That's nice for a cream bronzer. I would actually use this kind of
just, like, on the regs, like, every day.
It's very subtle.
I didn't use too much, but
still it doesn't seem too buildable. But it's nice.
I like it.
That's going to be a keep just because
it adds, I think, like, enough structure and
enough bronze without being orangey or strange color.
It's a nice color.
Okay, next up, we are going to go in
with the 503, The No Rule Stick from 3ina.
This shade is incredible, let me tell you.
So I used to work for 3ina
years and years and years ago.
503 suits everyone.
It is such a good shade.
And everybody would be buying the lipstick.
Did it come in a gloss? I think it came in a gloss.
And now they have it in, like, everything.
They have it in this blush.
They have it in the mascara
now, which looks absolutely incredible.
I just love the way they play with color.
To have this nude kind of like pinky tone
in a mascara as well, I just love it.
It's just incredible.
This texture is beautiful.
I love the shade already.
Really, really nice, kind of universal pink.
On deeper skin tones, you're going to get this more
kind of like, what do I like to call it?
Like dusky rose.
Fairer skin tones it's going to come out a
little bit, I guess, quite peachy.
And then on like, mid skin tones like mine,
it does kind of come out true to color.
But it just looks great on... I love it.
I love that color.
I love the formula.
This, actually, considering I drew it on my face, it
hasn't really interfered with my makeup in any way.
I got a hair hanging out of my nose. How embarrassing.
And it's sitting really nice on the skin and it just looks natural.
I really like that. That's a keep. That's a keep.
And I want everything in 503. Everything.
So this is a brand I've never tried before, and I saw
them online and I was like, I need to try them.
This brand is called... is it Ellis Faas, I want to say.
And all their products look like this.
So this is an eyeshadow and this is a lip product.
And they all look the same.
So I'm having to keep them up this way so
you can see, like, the individual color on the bottom.
So we're going to be trying,
this is a lip product.
Glazed Lips. Color for lips. Yeah.
And this is the shade,
I want to say 305.
And it's a little brush like this.
And I believe I'm going to have to twist it up.
Let's see how long it takes to twist.
This brand was quite high end in terms of price.
That's quite a lot.
Oh, my God.
I've accidentally done, like, same
eye color, same lip color.
Oh, what a beautiful texture.
That feels really nice on the lips.
Quite intense color, which is quite nice.
It doesn't feel heavy, but it looks super glossy.
That's really, really nice.
That's going to be a keep.
The only thing... actually let's fix, because I just wish
there was an indication of what the product was other
than the label here amongst all the others.
So perhaps if it was like a strip of
color round here, you know like when you get the top
to your electric toothbrush and there's that little bit
you put round so you know which one's yours.
Am I done?
I've only been filming for 24 minutes.
Okay, well, let me get some lashes on
and I'll be right back with you.
Okay, so I decided to add a bit of
the blue from the palette under the eye, just to do something.
My lash glue is still drying, but
I just don't have the time today.
That was kind of disappointing.
A few products there that I really liked
and some that I'm just like,
it's fine.
You know what? I'm even going to blot this lip a little bit
So that actually just took everything off.
Well.
Yeah, I would love to know what you
think of the products down below.
Is there anything you've seen that you're kind
of a little bit interested in or not really?
I wouldn't be surprised if not really.
