Hello everyone, welcome back. Thank you so much for joining me. So, today we are
doing keep it, fix it, dump it for December. December 2021.
As if it's the end of the year, I cannot even... but, well like I know how time works
but it's gone so quick, unbelievably quick. They do say the older
you get the quicker your life goes. I can't remember what the saying is.
But here we are. I'm a bit crusty. Oh, where's my eye primer? I hope you don't
mind, let me just do my eye primer just as I talk to you. So, welcome back. For
those who haven't seen one of my keep it, fix it, dump it videos, it's basically
where I take products that I have purchased or been gifted throughout the
month. Ones that I perhaps haven't had a chance to use in the video or and take a
look at. And I basically use them and I decide am I going to keep them,
which means I will add it to my collection, maybe I'll even add it to my
kit. Am I gonna fix it? Now fix doesn't mean I'm actually gonna, you know, whip
out... I don't know, what do you fix things with? Hammers?
And like start fixing it. It means I'm gonna keep it but I kind of wish it was
like this and it could be better, in my opinion, if it was like this for example.
And then dump it which means it's going to be donated or given to a friend or
family member. Or sometimes I keep the dump it ones to do like a second chances
video for example. Because there's some things I try and I'm like, oh no, I don't
want that I'll dump that one. And then actually I, I think, find myself thinking
about it, it's like, you know what, let me give that one more chance. I could have
used it this way, I could use it that way. And sometimes you get those days where
your skin isn't like behaving or things aren't going exactly how you want them
to. So I, I'll add that to like a second chance kind of option. I'm
kind of cheating today, I've done my foundation already because I was just
filming something quickly before, I may go on top with another layer after everything
and some concealer. But should we just get straight into it? Please consider
subscribing, and give this video a thumbs up. Let's just start shall we? So let's
take a look at our first product today, this is from Colourpop. This is the
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer collection but it was gifted to me. The collection
is so, so cute. Correct me if I'm wrong, this kind of
show is kind of around at Christmas time in the US. I don't think we have it as
much in the UK. I think we do now but it's on like super early in the morning.
It's like kind of creepy but also really cute at the same time. I have opened this
palette, I've broken the packaging, and I do have to say for a Christmas palette
that is, this is extremely disappointing for a
Christmas palette. Like I get it, there's green.
But you know, maybe some like, as much as I hate glitter, maybe some glitter in
there, you know? I'm thinking about other people here. I, I quite like it as a
neutral palette, and I suppose it is something you can carry throughout the
year and into the New Year. Okay, let's... what should we do? Should we do like, I
want to do a Christmas look with a different palette so maybe I'll stay
away from the red and green. Let's do a neutral and maybe add a Christmas... oh, I
have another eyeshadow I'm going to add on top actually, so we'll make it a bit
more Christmassy. So let's head into the shade, Mush Mush, which is this one which
I think is like, let's go to the reindeers but in some parts of the UK
you can call someone a mush, you know? It's like, you know that, that mush from... I
don't know, somewhere, I don't know. I don't know what I'm saying. Alright, I
do have a link below, this collection will be linked below. I do, I have an
affiliate code with them and a discount code
for you all as well but it's always linked down below for you, so you can go
ahead and check that out. Wow, that is a boring grey but I like it.
I have to be honest, I do, I love Colourpop, I love there collections, I think
they're really cute. Not like, I mean they're licensed
collections I really like, some of the ones that are in between are
questionable. Like the flower ones and thing like this, it can get a little bit
boring and repetitive. And some of the textures I've been disappointed with
recently. I don't know if they change it up or maybe it's just me having an off
day, or maybe the brush I'm using but some days I'm like, you know what, I don't...
I'm not feeling this texture today. This seems to be a lot smoother and blending
really easily. Okay, let's go into gad...
Gadzooks? What on earth? That one.
Can someone tell me what that name... I'll google it, don't worry. I don't know why I
do that. I just cleaned loads of brushes because they've been like just hanging
around for a couple of, I want to say weeks but it might be
months. [Laughter]
No, it's not, it's not months. It can't be. Yeah, that's wet. That's, why is that not
drying? Okay, let's just use the same brush, it's fine.
I'm going to take Misfit Toys, which is this kind of, it looks like it's a pinky
purply duo tone. No, it doesn't, I guess it does. Let's try with finger.
I'm trying to keep it very Christmas party-esque.
Get that nice and strong. I actually have another eyeshadow I want to use on top
of this, so we'll give that a go. Wow, that is super boring.
Okay, this is the Ciate London, this is the Serendipity... what?
Marbled Metals Eyeshadow. So, it looks just like this. It does look marbled. You
know what, I'm going to try the brush first because it comes off intense, so
let's just grab a brush and go straight in.
No finger, finger it is.
Yeah, that's got a definitely a bit more of a kick to it. I kind of want to warm
up the socket a little bit, so let's go in to Full Power, which is, it's kind of
like a redy burgundy. And I want to build that just... I don't really want like
the full color.
Well, we have to go with it now because I use too much.
We'll cut that off with a bit of concealer too. I do actually really,
really like this. What... did a Super Shock come with it? Let me just check. Okay, so
no there wasn't any Super Shock but it would look great with one of those Super
Shocks on top. Okay, so this palette is, I'm actually,
I kind of get nervous sometimes when I try Colourpop stuff because I'm like, oh
sh*t, is it going to work for me today? Keep, we're going to keep this one. This
is a really nice palette. It does have that Christmas vibe, like how could it
not, there's, you know, a reindeer, Rudolph is literally right there. And it's like
covered in trees, and the palette generally has a
Christmas vibe. But to be fair, if you bought this out any other time of the
year and shuffle those greens around, it'll just be a normal palette. But
yeah, cute. That is really cute. I think that's a nice gift idea as well. Yeah,
it's really cute. The Ciate Marbled Metals, this is a really nice eyeshadow.
I'll be interested to see if they have other colors as well because it does
make quite a nice impact. Actually you know what, let's take it right on that
inside corner. It has this, it's one of those like it's almost creamy but
powdery at the same time, it's one of those shadows. I do like it, I really like
it. I wonder if, if we like subtly took it under the brow bone...
it's a bit risky. I'll only use the tiny... oh actually, you know what, there's a
highlight I want to try under there. So I'm gonna do a little bit more concealer
and then finish up under eyes. We don't have
a new concealer to try today, so I'm just using my Pat Mcgrath...
I was about to say mas-cealer. Concealer.
And I'll just do it under the eyes as well. I think I'm just gonna take that redy
shade and then just go all the way underneath, and then take the darker
shade and just give myself a little...
I was gifted these brushes ages ago from... is it Reef? Reefer?
And I didn't realize they were quite expensive, and to be honest with you, I'm
not sure why. Like I totally get expensive brushes
when they're really good but not these ones. Okay, so let's try out
the Ciate London Dewy Stix. And this is the shade... I think it's Glow. And it's a
bit of a weird one, it looks kind of like glossy but at the same time it looks
like it would have a shine to it. I don't know, I'm not sure.
So I'm gonna try and just use my fingertips for it, I
don't really want to rub it all over my face because I feel like it might be a
little bit too much if I do that. I just want to see how it acts with my
foundation as well. It doesn't smell like anything,
it doesn't have a fragrance. That's cute. Oh okay, so it's, it's literally more
of that like face gloss. It doesn't feel sticky though, it doesn't
feel sticky in any way. I'm just gonna use like a clean finger just to go
around those edges, and almost like, like I'm
gonna use like the whole of my finger to kind of like
blend in those edges there, okay. Okay, I'm not gonna dare put this on my nose or on
my forehead because I think it has potential to look like, like grease, you
know? But I think that looks cute. Let me powder the face and see how it looks
afterwards. So for our blush we are using the Pink Honey The Blush Bible.
I have a few different shades here, this is Berry Blessed, and this one has like this
kind of... I quite like this almost like nudie pink, like dusky rosy pink with
this look. And then on the other side we have the powder. I'm not going to
use this powder I think I'm just going to stick to the cream. But I do also have
this orangey tone that I will try as well. I think I'll go for the other one. So when
I'm first trying out this cream blush I'm going to use a stippling brush first,
I'm just going to wipe the foundation off this one. This is one of my favorites,
this is the Spectrum X Katie Jane Hughes brush number 4. It's angled, it's like
an angled stippling brush. The reason I'm doing this is because stippling
brushes tend to give off less coverage first. So with a cream blush I'm not
really used to, I just want to test the waters first and see how much color
actually comes off. And it's quite pigmented so I'm going to use it shyly.
I'm going to be shy about the application. I'm just going
upwards and in circles,
just to really buff that cream into the skin. Make sure it becomes like part of
the skin rather than just sitting on top, and looking like color, you know? I like
that, I really like that actually. Let me grab my mirror. I feel like you could
build this up to get more coverage, of course you can like with any blush, but I
feel like this one really looks like it's part of my skin because you see
when I move my head, it almost like reveals itself and then,
you know, kind of like shies away again. And I really like that, it looks like
it's just part of my skin. I do think you can build it up to be a lot stronger
than it is though. So that's gonna be a keep. Right, let's try the powder then I'll
make a final decision on this Ciate one. This is the VDL Extra Blur Fixing Powder,
Expert Blur Fixing Powder. Well, yeah. Okay, so it's translucent. VDL, I really
like VDL for their primers and things like that. So because it's like blurring
and fixing what I might try is with a firmer brush. I'm gonna try around the
eye area, and around the nose here. And with a lighter brush I'll just do like my
forehead and the rest of the face, trying to avoid this highlight. This is the My
Perfect Powder brush from My Kitco, and I love this for powder because it, it's
quite dense so it's gonna grip powder but it's not gonna look cakey on the
skin. So I'm gonna try and go, avoid that, that highlighter, and just put that here.
Tiny little bit. I'm not baking, no baking here.
It looks good, looks good, right?
And let's just go a little bit over, again, I'm going around my highlight. I'm
just going to go over that blush just to kind of make it all cohesive and kind of
like fade in nicely. Forehead.
Oh, I really like that. I'm going to leave that little bit of shine
on my nose. Okay, if you want a blurring powder that
actually looks like it does something in real life.
This will be a great one to go for, this looks
amazing. This looks really good in real life not just on my screen here but
actually I can, in my mirror. Oh, I really, really
like that. I'm gonna use like the smallest, smallest amount on my forehead because I
still want it to have a bit of depth. Oh, my God that is, this might be my new
favorite. No, I can't say that. I love my favorite one so much. This, this looks
really, really good and not just like good on screen, like it looks great in
real life too. Did I forget to do one side of my nose?
Feel like this, again, this is one where you can build it up to be super matte and
super blurred, or just have it like this. I, I really like it. That is a keep, that
as a keep and put right here. Yes, really, really like that. That's a
good one. What was I doing next? Lips. What? Yeah. Right, let's keep to that
dusty like rosy tone. This is from Etude House.
Cute, okay. Perfect, just a tiny bit of color.
Really cute. Nice.
Still maybe a bit too much color for me. Yeah, nice. Okay, so that's a keep, that's a
keep. Okay, let's get some lashes on. I haven't tried, I basically have these
Ardell Lashes, these are the Wispies... oh, and there's Duo glue in it, okay. Line
It Lash It Eyeliner Lash Adhesive. No, I'm gonna use my normal glue. I haven't tried
like just a lash like this. I've been using...
for so long like the faux mink kind of texture but I kind of just want to try
some, I call these wedding lashes, because they're great to take to
weddings. So we have Wispies, which are nice
and then we have Wispies 113. What's the diff... I think 113 are a
little bit lo... I think 113 almost look like
they have like a slight extension on them. See what I mean? Okay, let's do it.
Oh, there's brush hairs all over my face, I'll get those in a minute, sorry about
that.
Yeah, cute.
They're barely there. It's kind of uncomfortable, actually.
Not uncomfortable physically but I'm like, oh I maybe need something bigger.
Yeah I do like them, I do like them. What's happening... what is that? What's
happening there then? There's like a tiny bit that's almost like clumped together
there, that's making it look like a block, can you see? But other than that these
are cute. I, you know what, I'm gonna have to put on something bigger. These are
great. These to me are, again, and this is personal preference. These are really nice
lashes but personal preference these are a bit everyday,
every day? They're not every day, come on get a grip. They're like weddings, special
occasion, in real life lashes, you know? But I think I'm gonna have to put on something
a little bit wispier. For me really, it's gonna be a fix because I would like them...
I will maybe double stack these lashes. Oh, I was gonna try this under the brow
just to see how it would do, like the tiniest, tiniest amount.
I re... I really, really like this. So this is... okay, this highlighter from Ciate is a
keep. I think that's really, really, really nice. Very subtle. No, it's not subtle
it's, it's not like an intense shimmery glow like, oh my God. It's more of a
natural like, my face is like naturally glowing. So I absolutely love
that. Okay, well thank you so much for joining me. That was keep it, fix it, dump
