- What's up, YouTube?
It's your girl, Jenn,
and today's video is gonna be about
Korean beauty and skincare.
I'm gonna do a haul and a demo on all these products here.
It's been awhile since I've done a video like this,
so I thought it was about time that I do one.
Also, if you are a lover of K Beauty,
make sure you're subscribed to my channel.
It takes a second, or less than a second,
to become a gem.
So with that said, let's get started.
So I'm gonna run through some skincare items first.
Here I have the Egg Mouse Soap by Too Cool for School,
and I've actually used another product from this line.
It was called the Egg Mouse Pack,
which is like a mask for your face,
and this product is pretty similar, especially the texture.
So what you do is you shake the bottle very well
and you squirt maybe like a golf ball size onto your palm.
And it's really thick and bouncy and moussy.
It's almost like a meringue.
What I'll do is I'll just apply it
all around my face, kind of massage it,
and then rinse it off with warm water.
I would highly recommend
that you use an oil based makeup remover
or like a makeup wipe first before using this
because this on its own
doesn't do a good job removing makeup.
So as long as you double cleanse, this product is great.
Next up, I've got this exfoliator by Neogen,
and I've also used this product in the past,
but their red wine version.
They came out with a lemon one, so I had to try it.
It's super refreshing and I love using it in the morning.
Sorry, I just love the way this smells,
but I'll use this after I wash my face,
and then I'll grab one of these pads,
and then using the rough, coarse side
I'll use that to just gently massage
and exfoliate everything away,
and I'll do that for maybe 20 to 30 seconds.
Then I'll flip it to the back,
and this is like a nice, quilted side,
and then I'll use that to pick up all the debris
and just kind of, I don't know,
it's just a nice sensation to do.
It's also part of the directions.
After, I will rinse once more,
and then my face is exfoliated and just baby soft.
I'll use this maybe two or three times a week,
nothing more than that,
because you don't wanna over exfoliate.
But, it is important to do so,
because when you don't exfoliate,
like when you layer different products,
like serums and creams,
it's not fully sinking into your skin,
so when you exfoliate
it's kind of like raking the leaves away,
and that way the product just really sinks in.
Next up, I've got this mask by Dr. Jart.
This is their Clear Skin Lover,
and I love their masks
because they're so easy to pop on
and I feel like they're very effective.
This one I like to use during that time of the month
when all flows in town.
That's the only time where I start breaking out,
but I feel like with this mask
it really keeps all the pimples under control.
There's a little packet with the product inside.
So, I'll just slather it all over my face,
and once that's on there I'll open up the actual mask.
This is like a very delicate mask,
so if you've got long nails
you're probably gonna puncture it,
but don't worry, if you get holes in it it's fine.
Then you just let everything marinate for 15 to 20 minutes,
and then I'll peel it off.
And I know some people
they just like to leave all the product on their face.
I like to rinse it off,
because it's just a lot of product.
So I'll rinse it off and then I'll essence,
and my serums, and my night creams,
but I'll save that for my skincare routine.
So now I'm gonna move onto some makeup products.
The first brand I'll be speaking about is Pony Effect,
and I love Pony so much.
I had the pleasure of meeting her in LA,
and if you don't know who Pony is
she's like my favorite Korean makeup artist.
She's amazing.
She's just as beautiful and sweet in real life,
and I just wanted to try out some more of her products.
You guys know I love her contour pallette,
so I grabbed a couple more items to try out.
The first is my newest obsession,
which is the Blurring Powder.
So what I'll do is after I apply
my foundation and concealer,
I'll grab my beauty blender
and I'll pop it into this mesh bit,
and then I'll just put it on my under eyes,
my smile lines, my nose, and my forehead.
I don't bake because I'm not an oily person,
so I'll just leave it on for maybe five seconds.
Then I'll grab a big fluffy brush
and just brush all the excess off.
It does a really great job keeping me matte.
I find that this powder kind of like blurs over pores
because it's such a fine powder.
Yeah, definitely expect to see it
in a future makeup tutorial.
The next Pony Effect item that I have
is the Intense Eye Tint.
This is in the shade Lucky Charm,
and it's in this gorgeous bronzy metallic shade.
This is a liquid eye shadow,
so the first time I used it was a little challenging,
because it was my first time ever using a product like this,
but I think I've got the hang of it.
So what you'll do is grab the doe foot applicator,
and you only have one coat to do this.
What I found is that you can't really layer with this item.
Even if you let the first layer dry,
when you go in with the second coat,
it just gets wet again,
and it can become a little patchy.
So you just get it right the first coat.
It leaves a really pigmented, metallic color,
and then I'll go in with the brush
to make it seamless at the ends.
Now I'm gonna talk about a highlighter.
This is her Strobing Luminizer,
and I'm obsessed with the packaging.
I love the rose gold.
It comes in a beautiful pump like this,
and all you need is half.
A full one is a little too much.
But, I'll warm it up in the back of my hand,
and then with a damp beauty blender
I'll pop it onto the cheekbones, nose bridge,
Cupid's bow, chin, all the normal areas,
and it does a beautiful job just luminizing the face.
This is definitely more of a natural finish.
It's not gonna make you look like
you're frigging glowing to the gods,
but this is something that's more everyday,
casual, and it does a great job.
My next item is this brow product by Clio,
and this has two functions.
The first end is the tattoo pen,
and I find this part really difficult to use,
especially for me,
because I'm so used to using a brow pencil
that I don't really know what to do with this marker.
I've tried drawing it on my brows,
but I feel like I don't have much brows,
so when I draw it in it just looks odd.
So I'll just use my normal brow pencil,
and then I'll use the brow mascara,
which is on the other end.
Now, this is what I love.
This is a very pigmented brow gel,
and it just leaves my brows looking nice and soft and brown,
and I feel like it really complements my hair color,
because, as you know, my eyebrows are black,
so this gives it more of like a nice, brown, natural look.
So now I want to talk about some items from Etude House.
First is the Play 101 Stick.
The first bit is the contour side,
and I just like to use this to contour my nose.
I've tried doing it on the cheekbones,
but I don't know, I just prefer the way powder looks.
I still haven't mastered this,
but for the nose it's amazing.
I'll use this to make my nose
look a little bit more defined
and just use my fingers to blend everything in.
And the other side is the highlighter,
and if I'm gonna be honest
I don't use this side too much
because I'll just use any of my other highlighters,
but in the clip I'll kind of show you what it looks like,
and it does a really great job.
My last item is a mascara.
This is Etude House's Curl Fix Mascara,
and this is one of the most water resistant mascaras
that I've ever come across.
Literally, tears, everything, it just doesn't come off.
And, if you have really short tiny lashes like me,
this is also great, because the formula is very, very dry.
So, once you curl your lashes and then you apply this on,
they're just up and perky, which is very, very nice.
The downside is it's a bitch to remove.
It takes like a good douse to pad
with heavy eye makeup remover,
and you just have to leave it on your eyes
for like a good minute,
but other than that, this product is great.
Alright everyone, those were all the products
