Hello, everyone. Welcome back.
Thank you so, so much for joining me.
So today we are doing, I want
to call it a skincare video.
But listen, let me... just bear with.
I'm not the skincare twin
first of all, that will be my brother James, who
knows a lot, a lot about skincare in general.
But compared to me, I think, I don't know, I
think a slug would know more about skincare.
Listen, I know how to take makeup off.
I know how to prep the skin for makeup.
But what I don't know is what
certain ingredients do and things like that.
So this isn't going to be
like, this contains...
17%
peptides.
I don't know, you know, things like that.
I'm just going to tell you my experience with it,
how I felt using it from a, like, oh, I
noticed a difference kind of point of view.
So it's not going to be super technical, but it's
going to be detailed for you.
Just before we get into that today, if this is your first time here.
My name is Robert.
I'm a professional makeup artist here on YouTube,
also in real life.
Oh, my God. I haven't said that in ages, right?
It's my goal to help you become a pro yourself
or is just someone who's really good at makeup.
When did I... I don't think I said that forever. Okay.
Anyway. So please do consider subscribing and
giving this video a thumbs up.
Let's just get straight into it.
I'm going to start with this face wash.
Now, as I said before, for skincare to make an
impression on me, it must be really good because I don't,
I just wash my face and I'm done with it.
I know that's really bad.
But I do prep my skin for makeup.
Actually, my skin prep before makeup is probably
more in depth and intense than my normal,
everyday skincare routine, which is probably really stupid.
So let's start with this.
This is Night off from Youthforia.
I really, really, really liked this.
It's this really nice gel kind of moisturizer that, of
course, lathers up as you use it and as you
add water to it... because it's going to be great.
It's like a jelly texture.
There's also, like real Green Tea leaves
in it, and it's very gently exfoliating.
Now, I did use this every single day.
It wasn't exfoliating to a point where my skin
was dry or hanging off or anything like that.
This was amazing at removing my makeup.
I kind of like double cleanse with it, used it twice.
Beautiful. Stunning. Absolutely love it.
Love this brand in general.
I actually don't talk about them
enough, but I do own a lot of
the Youthforia, like the blushers and everything like that.
And they're absolutely stunning. I really, really like.
And this is used through, like I
mean, there's air in it now.
And I've been holding onto it so
I could share it with you because
I absolutely adored, adored, adored this cleanser.
So the next two I'm going to pair up together.
And these are from Naturium.
So we have... oh.
Can you see in the light?
Is my lighting so bright that you can't see?
No, surely not.
So we have the Multivitamin Daily Nutrients Body Wash,
and the Bio-Lipid Restoring Body Lotion.
Let's start with this.
Now, I haven't had this that long, but it's
used down to about here, I believe, here.
So obviously I've been using it in the shower.
It's been absolutely great.
The thing I really like about this one is,
in terms of my own products, I quite like fragrance.
I quite like a strong product.
Like, I like my exfoliators, I like my acids.
But on the other hand, however, my partner,
whose skin is a little bit more sensitive,
more prone to eczema, we kind of go
very neutral, I say like neutral, like very gentle and fragrance-free.
Not because we don't like, you know, you can
just never be too careful with eczema.
Anything can kick it off at any time and hurt the skin.
So we go quite,
so we go kind of like easy.
We go easy on everything when we use the
shower products because we share our shower products.
And this has proven to be absolutely perfect for that.
It's really nice,
again, like a gel when it comes out
and it lathers up really, really, really nicely.
No fragrance, that we can smell anyway.
It does say on the back as well,
"This cleanser also features a vitamins, minerals
and amino acid composition that balance and
cleanse for healthier looking skin."
This is a big bottle.
This is going to last forever because
it says on it used generously.
So I have been and I'm only down to here.
Going on from that, the body
lotion, the Bio-Lipid Restoring Body Lotion.
Okay, I'm going to admit something, right.
I hate
body lotion.
I hate putting cream on my body.
I do it. I don't like it.
I hate SPF on my body.
I hate the feeling of sticky...
And then you put your clothes on and you're like, uh.
You know. I absolutely do not like that at all.
This actually has no residue.
There's no greasy feeling, there's no sticky feeling.
It does say on the back, "Formulated with
Omega Fatty Acids, Shea Butter and B Vitamins.
This lotion moisturizes with no greasy residue."
Absolutely.
And let me tell you, the first time I
use this, right, I put it on my elbows because
my elbows are like, they're not like excessively dry,
where you would look at them and be like,
oh, my God, look at that person's gross elbow.
It's kind of like, it's just kind
of like always a little bit dry.
Like, you could get a fingernail and go boop
and then play noughts and crosses on my elbow sometimes.
When I put this on, like straight after, I
left it on for a few minutes, and then sometimes
I'll just be standing and I'll be like, I'll touch
my elbow, I was like, oh, my God.
My elbow feels really soft.
Like smooth and soft. I was like, that's amazing.
It doesn't feel greasy.
It's not a greasy, slippy, silky feeling.
It just felt like I had really nice skin.
It just felt, like, soft.
Up next, this is from a brand called Rosen.
I want to say Rosen.
I literally just got an email
saying that it's out for delivery.
I ordered two more of these
because, a bit of a situation.
Now, listen, I'm not a thief,
but I could be, potentially.
My brother James, who is the skincare YouTuber, lent
me this because I had got a spot.
This is a Breakout from Rosen.
As I keep saying.
This one's kind of dried up a little bit now,
I've had it for a really long time.
James lent me this for a spot
I had come up, like, I'm talking 3D spot.
Like, it was sticking out my skin.
It was really red raw.
I used this during the day and I used it overnight.
No joke.
I'm going to look you dead in the eyes now.
My spot was flat.
It wasn't sore anymore.
The redness had toned down a little bit.
Super easy to cover with makeup.
And I never gave it back.
I did not give it back to James, ever.
And I never mentioned it again.
And I kept it and I ordered us some more
because I was like, oh, God, I still have this.
It does have, like a menthol smell to it, but I
think that might just be some of the ingredients inside it.
Peppermint, it's Peppermint, yeah.
But it is the most stunning...
And you know what? It kind of reminds me of the olden
days when you would use those kind of
treatments you would get on your pimples from,
like, the drugstore, but one that actually works.
I would bet money that this would get rid of
a spot as an emergency treatment for the next day.
You're a bride.
A spot has come up.
This will be incredible to put on it.
It's your birthday or there's a special event
where you've been getting yourself ready for it.
And then you get that spot, that little asshole
spot that just pops up out of nowhere.
It works. It really works.
The brand is available in Target in the US.
And I went into every Target.
I went to one in New York, I went
to one in Florida, and I couldn't find it.
I was so pissed because I wanted to pick up more.
However, right, if you're in the UK... sorry,
there are brands that sell it in the UK, companies.
I don't know whether they're meant to.
But it's more expensive to buy it from them than it
is to go to the Rosen skincare website
and buy it normal price with shipping.
I love it so much.
I've never experienced a product. Absolutely, absolutely incredible.
It's one of those things on you, just
put it on at night, ready to sleep.
You wake up in the morning, you're good to go.
I adore it.
I'm just going to say really quickly, Bioderma, love it.
I did a short about it here on
YouTube, so you can check that out.
This brand, I think I spoke about this before.
This is Augustinus Bader, and it is
one of the most incredible brands ever.
I need to say a huge thank you to
SpaceNK because I have not purchased this
product before, all their products, and I have the majority of them.
They are incredibly, incredibly pricey.
Like, a lot.
However, when I stick... stuck... when I stuck to the routine of using
them, and I'm talking about them today because it's a product
that I saw a difference in.
When I stuck to the routine of using them, I did see a difference.
I had their serum, their eye serum,
something else.
The essence, the oil.
I enjoyed using it.
I could see a clear difference
in the texture of my skin.
And then I stopped using it because I'm stupid.
And I still have them.
And I have top ups ready to go.
So I think I'm going to go back in it.
So if you ever see them, if you have
the budget and you're like, you know what? Should I?
I would absolutely say yes.
However, perhaps ask for a sample because I have seen
some people have a bit of a reaction to it.
So I want to talk about
the moisturizer from Skin Rocks.
This is Caroline Hiron's brand. Now, if you don't know who
Caroline Hiron is, skincare royalty.
She has incredible books.
She makes skincare accessible and easy for
everyone to understand, especially someone like me.
And I believe I've shown something like this
before, maybe on my Instagram stories.
I have a retinol, and I have the skin oil as well.
They literally put the amount that you need on top so
you can bloop a little bit here and use it.
It literally says, use this much.
This is what I mean by she makes it so easy.
I had lash glue on my fingernail. Sorry.
For all skin types. We have directions here,
when to use it, and what order.
This says, after treatment steps.
It's really there for you, so
you know exactly what you're doing.
Now, let me tell you about the texture of this.
I've made quite a dent in it.
I don't know if you can see.
One, it smells incredible.
It doesn't smell fragranced, but at the same time,
it doesn't smell like it hasn't got a nice smell.
Honestly, me describing skincare is terrible.
Smells clean.
It smells really clean, really fresh.
The texture of this.
Now, when it says all skin types, let me tell you.
It has this really beautiful, really lightweight texture.
If you have oily skin, this is stunning.
The way it feels, in my personal opinion, when
it goes on the skin is, you rub it
in like a moisturizer, but then it almost feels
like it turns into this watery kind of feel,
really lightweight, quickly absorbed into the skin.
So you can go ahead and put your makeup right on top.
I just absolutely, absolutely adore this one.
So this I have here on my desk
whenever I'm doing makeup, like I said, I always
take my makeup off three or four times.
So I would start off, I'll use like
a hydrating mist or something like that.
But as my skin knee needs, gets worn down by the
constant removing of makeup and I need a little bit
more help, then I go in with the cream.
I've been using this on days where I'm not wearing
makeup and just been wearing this and an SPF.
It hasn't felt too heavy.
It hasn't felt too thick.
It's been absolutely stunning.
It stays right here on my desk.
I do have a lot more skincare I'm going to use, but the
fact that I don't really know how to talk about it makes
me maybe think I shouldn't go on talking about it.
So, thank you so much for joining me.
