Hello, everyone. Welcome back.
Thank you so, so much for joining me.
So today we are doing Keep It, Fix It, Dump It.
I know we're in December, but we're doing November
because I think I missed October as well.
But...
I've heard so much crap go down over
the past few months that I've missed certain things.
But Keep It, Fix It, Dump It, for those of
you who don't know already, is where I take a
few products I've been sent this month or last month from...
In PR or I bought myself and haven't yet tried.
And I'm going to try them out and I'm
going to see if I want to keep them.
Which means of course I'm going to keep them.
Fix them, which means I'm not physically going to
fix it because I don't have time.
But it means that I like this product.
I'm going to keep it.
But if I could change it and make it slightly
more better to my standards, how would I do so?
And dump means I'm going to give it away,
donate it, whatever, or keep it for a future
video of like Second Chances or something like that.
I have a gammy thumb for those of
you who didn't see over on my social media.
I had a big bandage on my thumb.
You can just see the scar poking out there.
It goes all the way up here.
And I need to keep it clean and dry.
And also for those of you who are squeamish,
it's not the best thing to look at.
I think it looks really cool, but
some of you might hate it.
Okay, so let's get into it.
Please do consider subscribing.
Give this video a thumbs up and let's just do it.
Let's start with the eyes because I'm kind
of excited about some of the eye products.
This is from a brand.
So this is from Superdrug here in the UK.
This is called Studio London.
And this is the Colour Icon...
Where can you see it? Here?
Here? Too much light?
Colour Icon Eyeshadow Base.
I can't actually see a shade on this,
but it just says prap. Prap? Prep.
Prep and add vibrancy.
So let's do so. Squeeze a little tube.
First impression, straight up, it's a bit concealery texture
compared to how I usually like my products.
My eye primers even.
I kind of like them to be a little bit more, I guess
not like concealer basically.
It's very, very sheer, which is okay.
And it's really evening out
the tone on my eyelids, which I like in a eyeshadow primer.
Let me just get my fingertips in there because I can
see in some places, you can see on the inside here.
It isn't really gripping very well to my skin.
It is very watery almost.
And I haven't really applied an eye cream today either.
So it's not exactly like I
have excess moisture sitting there.
But then I'm not overly dry in my lids
today or dehydrated that that should be an issue.
Can you see, it just won't sit
on this inside corner here at all.
I'm going to try tapping it on and
just letting it sit for a little bit.
Okay, I'm going to give that a second to settle, and let's
just see if it does... can you just see it's just
not sitting on some areas of my eyelid, which I kind
will need it to work because we're going to go in
with the Pat McGrath Labs Mothership Mega Celestial Nirvana.
That's a long name.
I did... what was the bigger palette from Pat McGrath?
They released before?
I really didn't like it.
It almost gave me the impression, right, like the...
the...
You know, like the normal range palettes were always really nice, and I
don't know if it's a different formula or if it's
the same, but these kind of bigger palettes just didn't,
they don't work quite as well as the normal one.
Normal range, normal line.
So the shade range is nice in here.
The different shades, this
purple looks absolutely stunning.
Blue looks beautiful.
And then this shade up here, you
can't quite see it, but it's almost
like this really lavender purple, like, shine.
Let's just check our eye primer
before we get into this.
It hasn't really creased at all.
It feels really smooth on the lid.
It actually doesn't feel like there's anything
on my eyelids, which is quite nice.
I do think we're going to have some
issue with some eyeshadow on the inside corner
here because the primer there is virtually non-existent.
But let's just do it anyway.
Okay, so let's go in...
Argh.
Should we do something...
I don't know what to do.
Okay, let's do something a little bit different.
Let's start with this, like, light purple.
And I'm going to put that on the inside corner just to kind of give
the primer a bit of the benefit of the doubt.
It's not the... what's the word?
Strongest primer.
So I'm going to use quite a sheer color to hopefully,
so if it doesn't grip, it doesn't look too crazy.
And this shade is called Luna lavender.
It's nice.
It's a bit like dusty in the palette
itself, but the color is coming out nice.
The texture is really nice, even sitting
on top of the crappy eye primer.
Okay, we're going to go for Aquarium
Dream, which is this really nice blue.
I hope it comes out as intense looking
as it looks in the palette itself.
And it does. Nice. Okay, cool.
This primer is sh*t.
It's going to be a dump, basically, because, I
mean, if I had my normal Sigma eyeshadow primer
on, I think it would be a lot more,
like I can see unevenness to the eyeshadow.
And it's not the eyeshadow itself.
It's definitely the texture of the primer.
I don't know if you can see on this lid here.
You see there's like a big, like, patch of
strong shadow, and right underneath it's almost non-existent.
That's where the primer wasn't sitting very
well on my lids before we started.
Look. Look at... you see those areas where the primer wasn't sitting?
It really does matter what your primer is doing.
Why am I looking up there?
That's really nice. The matte,
the matte is blending really beautifully.
It was the matte shades I had
trouble with in the previous palette.
So this is a nice update, almost, and
considering we're using a pretty shitty eye primer,
this is good going so far.
I'm just going to blend it out a little
bit more and then build up the color.
I mean look, look where, especially here, you can see the non-existent
smoothness, I should say.
It's really dragging
where that primer has almost been absorbed by the
eyelid in some places and not in some others.
So I'm just going to try and smooth that out.
Okay, let me get on with the skin,
and then we'll finish up with the eyes.
So for our foundation, we have, again, from
Studio, the same place the primer was from.
Studio London by Superdrug Flu... Flaunt... Flawless.
Perfecting Foundation.
This is definitely a shade too dark, maybe for me.
We will have a look.
Doesn't smell like anything, so that's nice.
Oh, actually, that's fine. Okay, cool.
Well, it's a bit light, but also
we can bronze it up, can't we?
It's very sheer, which is nice.
It feels very lightweight on the skin.
It's kind of like undetectable, almost.
Very easy to blend.
It blends quite well, quite seamlessly with the skin.
Let's see how it covers this spot up here.
And it's okay.
It's good coverage.
If you want something natural that
has a bit of coverage it's, yes.
It's kind of strange.
So it's going on quite liquidy.
And then as I blend, it
feels like it's getting thicker.
Okay.
That's a nice foundation.
That's really good.
Studio London Flawless. That's cute.
If we had my shade...
This is fine, actually.
I don't mind it.
Bit of bronzer,
like I said, we will be absolutely fine.
Let's finish up under the eyes.
Let's take this darker blue. What's that called?
Nocturnal Navy.
Now, blues are always a good test.
Let's have a look.
They can come up quite dry sometimes.
So if this is nice and easy to blend,
then we're good.
We're good.
Smooth. It's nice. It's nice and smooth. Okay.
Okay, yeah, I'm happy with this.
This is going to be a keep.
The matte textures were a lot
better than I remember from the...
What was the previous palette?
I can't remember, but it was like a baby pink,
and I was not impressed with it at all.
The shimmers were kind of like crumbly and dry,
but these ones are a lot more creamier.
If I had a nicer eyeshadow base on, I
think I'll be so much happier with this look.
But the eyeshadow primer ruined it.
Absolutely ruined it.
And we're going to do a keep for the foundation, too.
This is a good one.
Let's take a look at this highlighter.
I forgot I had this.
I don't know where it's come from.
It doesn't even have a box.
Maybe I got this in, like a beauty advent
calendar, but this is glazed by the brand Roglow.
Never heard, never heard of it.
And it is the Skin Stick.
Roglow Skin Stick.
So I'm going to take a little bit...
It's quite white almost, but when I do swatch it, it
kind of is more of a gold kind of glow.
Let's just do it.
Let's just tap it onto the foundation.
Oh, you don't need that much.
I'm going to take it, I like to take mine down
here, like a number seven, down.
Tuck a little bit under the eyes, add a little brightness.
I haven't used concealer today.
I don't really mind that I haven't.
Oh, that is nice.
I feel like maybe I used a bit too much.
Had I used a little bit less, it
maybe wouldn't look so sudden on the skin.
It looks a little bit like, oh, there it is.
Let's take our foundation brush and let's just buff
around the edges of where we've applied that product.
It's very gold.
I'll be interested to see if they do a... it's very yellowy gold.
If they do different shades, I would
like maybe more of a rose gold.
It just tends to look a little bit more
natural on the skin, on my skin tone anyway.
I do have to say with
blending this cream product today.
I don't know what's going on.
My filming room is freezing cold
which is the way I prefer it.
But my skin is also really, really cold.
Usually my fingers are nice and warm, so
I can warm up the product a little
bit more, but it's not happening today.
Maybe I should put concealer on.
I look a little bit tired.
Okay, you know what I'm going to do with this one?
I'm going to fix because something
about the way it blends. I would like it to be a little
bit smoother, but it is really nice.
I would use this again, like, right now, tomorrow.
It is nice.
So, fix.
Okay, let's get a little bit of color to my face.
This is, again, we're going into Studio.
And this is their You Do You Bronzing Drops.
Golden hour glow.
I'm not the biggest fan of bronzing drops.
I have to be honest.
I think the nicest ones I've
used have been from Chantecaille.
They were really, really nice.
I can't really squeeze properly yet with this
thumb.
Nice. It looks more like a gel, which is really cute.
I'm going to use the same brush we used
for our foundation, so it kind of just eases
the color on without being too crazy.
That does look quite orangey to me in terms of bronzer.
Like almost red orange.
I just realized I was silent
the whole time while applying that.
I don't really have an opinion.
I'm going to fix because, it's fine.
I wish the finish was slightly more...
It kind of looks like it's dried down a little bit.
And the shade it is, it kind of... I mean, I
wouldn't look at my skin right now and I think, oh, my God.
Bronze.
It looks like I've used quite a dry powder on my
skin, and it's gone a little bit patchy, so it isn't...
I'm not overly impressed with that, to be honest with you.
Let's go on to lips from Sephora's own collection.
We have #Lip Stories. This is cool.
This is the shade 3, and it's this
nice nudey pinky, like a dusky rose. Oh, that's cute.
It says on the thing, #Cream.
That's a really, really nice texture.
Really smooth, really creamy. #Cream.
Really comfortable on the lip as well.
You can't even feel it there. Really, really nice.
I love these kind of shades where it's just
like a little bit of a rosy, natural nude.
It looks really, really good.
I am going to go on top with gloss.
And this is also from Sephora.
Also, keep. Keep this lipstick. Keep, keep, keep.
And this is Outrageous Intense.
It doesn't really have anything, but it looks like
this, it doesn't really have a name, or anything like that.
Oh, I hope it's not plumping,. But it has, like, this
peachy shine to it, which I thought was really pretty.
Oh, no, I think it might be plumping. Whoopsie.
Nice. It is plumping.
I don't like plumping lip glosses.
But the color is really nice, and the shine it has on
the lip is really beautiful as well.
It's really nice that it's kind of kept
that color of my lipstick underneath, but it's
added, like, a slight glow to it.
Let me get on some lashes.
We are going to be using these Baby Doll lashes.
These are in Primark, I believe, in the UK.
They sent me these.
I've used these before, so I know I like them.
So I'm just going to stick them on.
Okay, so lashes are on, keep. They're fine.
I'm actually going to take off this gloss
because it is... no, I can hold on.
I can hold on a few minutes.
It is burning my lips. It's tingling.
I wouldn't say burning.
It's not the most painful, but it's not
very comfortable, I have to be honest.
So maybe we'll change that to a fix.
I like the color, but the finish,
the feeling isn't very nice at all.
Well, thank you so much for joining me.
I'd love to know your opinions
on these products down below.
