Hello, everyone. Welcome back.
Thank you so, so much for joining me.
So today I will be creating a look using
some of my favorite items from Sephora and some
items that I think are a must from some
brands, if you haven't tried them already.
And, of course, thank you so much
to Sephora for sponsoring this video.
Now, the reason I'm so excited, because Sephora are
opening their first physical store in the UK in
Westfield in White City, here in London.
I will be going to the launch event.
I'll be having the best time.
I'll insert some footage throughout the video for you
as well, and I'll point out some of my
favorite products there as well for you.
But the thought that I can actually physically go
into a Sephora store now without having to travel
to the US, which is usually, like, one of
the most exciting things to do in the US, Is incredible.
I can just go to London and shop
and physically see products in real life.
We can get them online already, but there's
nothing better, especially with Sephora's own brand, which
I can't wait to get more of, than
physically seeing the products in real life.
Okay, so let's do it.
Do give this video a thumbs up, consider
subscribing, and let's get into some makeup.
So I thought I would show you everything now.
This is the Sephora taxi we were picked up in.
So cute.
Here's a QR code.
Scan it, see what happens.
And this is the store.
It is huge.
It is ginormous. It looks stunning.
Look how far back this store goes.
It's just so incredible to see Sephora in the UK.
I thought I'd do a little bit of shopping.
I went to Milk and I saw this eye primer.
So I was like, I need to grab this.
The Hydro Grip Eye Primer. Never used it before.
I also got, I believe it was a lash serum.
They also engrave products for you,
which I found super interesting.
So if you get, like, perfume or
something, I don't know, nice and expensive.
There's also some exclusive brands at Sephora.
One Size, r.e.m Beauty, and I can never pronounce
this, is it GXVE?
Give?
There was a space in the middle as
well for services like getting your makeup done,
getting your hair done, and facials.
And then to top the night
off, the Sugarbabes performed.
The original line up of the Sugarbabes.
If you don't know who they are,
you are missing out, YouTube them.
They were just so incredible.
Thank you so much, Sephora, for an incredible evening.
You have to go and check out this store.
So I always carve out my brows.
You'll notice that I haven't tidied them up recently.
So I always carve them out with a bit of concealer.
It doesn't have to be anything heavy.
So I'm going to be using the
Sephora Best Skin Ever Glow Concealer.
Exactly what it sounds like.
Really beautiful natural concealer with this really nice...
I don't know if you can see it here, this really
nice, natural, kind of, well, glow to it.
So I'm literally just going to take that on
a brush and just carve out my brow.
So as I mentioned before, we
don't have Sephora in the UK.
Well, we do now by the time you're seeing this.
So part of, like going to, on vacation or to the US.
Or out to other parts of Europe too,
was saving money aside, especially for Sephora.
So you can buy all those brands
that we didn't get in the UK.
I could go and see them in actual life
and not just online and not just on YouTube
and actually physically see the shades and the textures.
There's still brands in the UK that we don't
get in most stores and some that are exclusive
to, like, Sephora UK. Mario... Makeup by Mario, for
example, which I do have some of the products.
But again, there's other things that are launched
that I can't see in real life, and
sometimes you just want to touch them. Hygienically.
Okay.
The iconic London Desk To Dance Eyeshadow Palette.
This is really cute.
Iconic London are such a beautiful
brand in terms of formula texture.
I actually have another piece I'm
going to use in this video.
But their eyeshadows are just...
I mean, look at this up here.
They're just like these beautiful metallicy shines.
Stunningly creamy and smooth. Should we do purple?
Of course we're going to do purple.
Okay, so I want to take Corner Office,
which is this really beautiful purple shade.
Don't worry, I am going to mix it, I know it's
purple, but I'm going to mix it up a bit.
We're just going to cover the whole lid.
So as I said earlier, Sephora are having this launch
event, which I'm really, really excited to go to.
I know it sounds really stupid, but it's
going to feel like kind of surreal.
This is how exciting it is to get a Sephora in the UK.
It's going to feel like... like walking up to a Sephora
is such a rare thing to do, for me anyway.
So walking up to a Sephora, is it going to
have those famous black and white stripes, the displays.
I love the fragrance section in a Sephora, the
skincare, there's always something new to kind of discover.
And it's going to be surreal being in one.
I know that sounds really stupid, but
as somebody who loves makeup and loves
discovering new makeup, it's really exciting.
We're taking Power Player, which is a deeper black almost.
Just to elongate that eye a tiny bit.
Not into the eye.
I'm not really taking it on the lash line.
I'm just keeping it underneath.
Okay, now I'm going to do something I
haven't done in a really, really long time.
I'm taking this darker purple, Going Places,
and I'm going to buff that out.
And we're going to add the black like we did before.
Now I'm going to take this piece of card.
Forever since I've done this, I actually need maybe just
one side, if I rip it here.
And I'm literally just going to go at it.
I saw someone do this on TikTok the other day
with tape and I was like, when was the last
time I've seen anyone do that with tape?
And it was such a great technique.
It was just so easy and quick.
And then I'm actually going to
take was it called Corner Office?
No, that was it, Power Player. That's the one.
And then whatever's underneath
we can also tidy up with concealer.
How easy?
How easy and quick.
Then I want to take Manifest and
just tap that all over the lid.
We can go back in with that beautiful
Best Skin Ever Concealer.
And I'm doing, this is quite like a
liquid formula, like, like fluid-like almost, a
lot thinner in terms of texture.
Doesn't mean it's less coverage.
It just feels a lot more water-like almost.
So I'm literally going to tap it into place like this.
Get some glow going.
I am quite excited to discover Sephora's
own range a little bit more.
There was...
Last time I went to Sephora, it was
in Florida, and because I was with friends, I kind
of felt like I couldn't look for too long because
you're kind of like, oh, you know, I'm sorry.
I don't want to shop for makeup.
Not everyone is interested in makeup.
So I did kind of hurry through.
But I really would like to discover their lip
products a little bit more, their complexion products.
And I did see some really nice blush that I
kind of want to take a closer look at.
This is definitely going to be
like a shopping experience for me.
I would actually love to know what you always
get from Sephora, like, what's your go to?
Like, just need to top up on my... you know?
I would love to know what your go to is.
Let's just finish up under the eyes.
We'll go for Booked & Busy.
And we'll blend that Power Player into the corner too.
Just to blend it all in together.
Honestly, this formula is like, just buttery.
Like the way it's just
blending with itself so smoothly. Beautiful.
I'm going to go in with the...
do I have it? The Sephora 12-HR pencil?
Where did I put it?
Please say I have it.
These are incredible.
If you don't like something that tugs or drags
on your waterline, I mean, who would like that?
Who loves that?
Who looks for that?
Then this is the most incredible product.
You can see these just glide on
really smoothly, really effortlessly as well.
So you're not like hanging
around your eyeballs for ages.
And they're super long wearing,
especially on the waterline.
A lot of people have trouble with keeping any kind
of eye color on the waterline, but something with this
kind of, like, creamy texture is perfect because it's just
the most water resistant kind of formula.
Foundation. We are going for Sephora
Best Skin Ever Foundation.
Oh, it smells good.
And this is a long wearing foundation as well.
But what's great about this is it doesn't have that...
I find with some long wearing foundations is that once
they've been on the skin for a while, they're long
wearing, but then a lot of them also look like
they're gripping onto your skin for dear life.
Like they've gone a bit crusty, a bit
crispy, whereas this one, almost hydrating properties to
it where it doesn't look like that.
It doesn't get cakey, it doesn't get,
I guess, like crusty on the skin.
They just look kind of like textured throughout the
day, whereas this one just stays nice and smooth.
You know what? I'm just going to put a tiny bit more...
I really love that concealer.
Where's it gone?
Why am I coughing?
Where's it going?
Why am I losing everything?
Oh, my God. It's right here. It's right in front of me.
That's so annoying. That's so stupid.
Okay. I just want to give my skin a little
bit more brightness because I am kind of looking tired.
As much as I hate to admit it, I'm tired.
Who isn't tired, though?
You know?
I'm going to bring this up into my nose a little bit.
And this whole area here can do with a bit of a suszh.
You know what this concealer, I think I really like
it because it's almost like concealer mixed with highlighter.
But sometimes mixing your own products together, you're ruining
the composition of the product and you don't get
the product that works how it should.
So to have it, like premixed just
how it should be is perfect.
I'm not a fan of mixing separate products together.
So I have two things for my cheeks, for my bronzer.
So for my bronzer, I have a Sephora's own collection.
Shimmering Bronzing Powder.
This is the shade, A Trip To Haiti.
Now, you can actually mix all of this
together and it makes a really beautiful bronzer.
So that's exactly what I'm going to do.
There is this little bit of pink in the bottom
corner here, so I'm just going to, not stay away
from it, but not use it too much because I
do want to use a separate blusher today.
And I'm just going to warm up this outside corner here.
I love how this has quite a neutral tone to it.
Like, it doesn't look orange at all, which
why would you want an orange bronzer?
It's like truly bronze.
Oh, and by the way, Sephora did send these products
to me, but I chose them all myself, so I
knew exactly what I wanted, exactly what I liked.
Just before you're like, why does he like every product?
It's because I chose them.
Okay, so I want to go into this.
This is, again, Iconic London.
This is the Silk Glow Duo.
And this is Rose Glow.
So you can see we have
the blush and a highlighter together.
And even the blush has a very slight...
it's not a shine.
It is like a glow, but it's not glittery.
It's very much doing its own separate thing away
from the highlighter, if you know what I mean.
So I'm just going to run that on top of the bronzer.
Like on the cusp.
It's very pigmented.
I don't know why I used that much.
You know what, as much as I hate the Summer,
I do like to have, like, summery sunkissed skin.
And then with the highlighter, I'm just going
to take the small eyeshadow brush and just
search for those points of light.
Now, this is very strong, so I'm going
to just search for those points of light and
just gently buff into those areas.
You'll see.
It has the most amazing glow to it.
Tip of the nose, bridge of the nose for me.
And a little bit just here.
I know it's tempting to just keep going
with a highlighter, but I will stop. I will stop.
Okay, for our lashes, I'm sorry,
I've used them quite a bit.
These are Ardell Wispies Double 113.
These are really, really nice.
I think of when we think of Ardell Wispies, we
think natural looking, but still obviously lashes, whereas these do
definitely have more of a lift to them and more
of a dramatic finish without being over the top.
While I'm waiting for the glue to dry, I'm going
to go on with the Sephora Size Up Mascara.
This is their waterproof one, which I do like
waterproof mascaras.
I don't really care either way, to be honest with you,
but I am actually leaking in the corners of my eyes
right now, so I am going to use the waterproof one.
And this has such a cool brush.
You can see that all the different
hairs are kind of all... hairs?
The combs are going in all different directions and almost
slightly corkscrewed, but not. But we get that nice dip
that we can cup our lashes in and roll and pull up.
I might cry seeing a Sephora in the UK.
Honestly, I feel like we've waited so long.
I feel like we've waited so long. But now's a good time.
Now's a good time.
Let's get these lashes on.
Just going to wait for the glue to dry a little bit more then that.
And we're going to go in with the Sephora Glossed Gloss.
These are so beautiful. This is the shade, Not Today.
And it's just nice and natural.
You know how I like having barely any lip color.
This is perfect.
Oh, my God, I love that shade.
Even just a tiny bit of this
every day is like just little...
Perfect.
Okay, let's get these lashes on.
You know what I really like about these lashes as
well, is once they're set, once they're on, they're really
good at manipulating them and pushing them up a little
bit just to get that full spikiness and fullness.
Okay, well that is a full face using
some of my favorite products from Sephora.
I hope you enjoyed coming to the event with me.
Going to an actual Sephora in the UK.
Some of you are probably just at home
who have Sephora like next door are like,
we have so many here.
We don't have any here.
This is why I'm so excited.
I hope you enjoyed it.
I hope you enjoyed seeing some of my
favorite products and some of my favorite brands.
You can find all the products linked down below for
you and I will see you very, very soon. Bye.
