Transcripts

well hey guys happy March 1st today I'm

going to be sharing with you some skin

care some beauty product reviews of

things I've tried out over the month of

February which went by at a rapid Pace

now I used to do monthly favorites and

fails videos but if you missed last

month's video I've changed it up this

year to basically just have an

opportunity to share with you all

reviews of various products that I test

out and maybe never have an opportunity

to chat with you about and a dedicated

video first of all a new moisturizer

that I have seen in the drugstore It Is

by luer so luer is a brand that I

frequently get asked about what do you

think of luer I know them to be good

moisturizers but personally I've never

really used one and so I decided to try

their new advanced therapy lotion and I

really like it as a basic body

moisturizer it's pretty affordable it

has Oak kernel oil in it and I love any

moisturizing product any skin care

product for that matter with any type of

ingredient from oats whether it be

colloidal oatmeal oat kernel oil I just

find that my skin really appreciates

oats they have a variety of beneficial

compounds in them for barrier recovery

for soothing dry itchy skin they're

hydrating I mean really an underrated

family of ingredients from oat so I like

that aspect of it it has mineral oil

which is a amazing ingredient in a body

moisturizer it also has glycerin which

is very hydrating free of fragrance it

does have a bit of an aroma to it it

does what it's supposed to do it

moisturizes the skin it is a heavier

consistency and it builds itself as

being fast absorbing but I have found in

my experience using it um as a body

moisturizer that it does take a bit of

time to absorb it stays white on the

skin for a while which I don't mind

importantly the following morning cuz I

moisturize at night after getting out of

the shower the following morning I don't

have a filmy residue of moisturizer all

over the place so it truly does absorb

into the skin and provide a nice

hydrating protective film to reduce

water loss but it doesn't leave like a

waxy residue on the skin surface because

it is a heavier consistency a thicker

richer formula it's one where I don't

know that everyone is going to enjoy

trying it on the face some people might

but I always point out you know it's

worth trying a moisturizer for the body

on the face because if it ends up

working out for you great because this

one is heavier I suspect it may be

uncomfortable for some of you especially

if you have Oiler skin or you have

rosacea May precipitate flush heavier

moisturizers can be aggravating for some

people but by and large I really like it

I like the price point and I like the

pump I complained about this to you all

before but some pump packaging or

honestly some packaging in general is

just not it just doesn't meet my needs

and it may not meet your needs some some

pumps are too slow to release and it

takes all day to get the moisturizer

amount that you need as I said I

moisturize from head to toe one thing I

need for my body moisturizer is the

ability to efficiently dispense product

so that I can get the moisturizer on my

body in a in a timely manner I don't

want have to sit there and wait for the

pump to release in a slow fashion it'll

take forever and I want a good amount of

product

I always complain on the flip side that

some products put out too much product

but when it's a body moisturizer we have

a lot more surface area that we're

targeting I need it to give me give me a

good good amount out so all in all I've

really liked it a lot moving on a

sunscreen from userin I've shared this

with you all in my Vlogs off and on I've

been trying it out they have a new line

yes the immersive hydration Line This is

their daily lotion SPF 30 it's a facial

moisturizer with hyaluronic acid

hyaluronic acid is is great for

improving the moisture content and

Skin's outermost layer ultimately

helping to support barrier function and

with consistent use and improved water

retention and Skin's outermost layer the

better water content allows for the

enzymes there to function better so that

you have better cell turnover plus this

is a sunscreen so it's protecting the

skin from the damaging effects of

ultraviolet radiation it is nice and

moisturizing it is an organic AK

chemical sunscreen so there's no white

cast to this I did not experience any

burning or stinging around my it is not

water resistant so it's a great option

as an everyday facial moisturizer if

you're going to be participating in

sport working up a sweat outside I

suggest choosing a water resistant

formula and this is good nothing wrong

with it but a product that has really

been wowing me is the lar Ro POS cop

plast gel now I have been a longtime fan

of their cop plast balm as a skin

protection it's great if you have wind

bur if you have a lot of peeling flaking

irritation from a new topical or from

getting a cosmetic peel it's great Great

Barrier cream great skin protectant

excellent for reducing chafing but they

came out with a gel and so I decided to

try the gel form and at first putting it

just on my skin I was like I don't I

need to go back to the I need to go back

to the bomb I'm not really getting

Barrier cream vibes from this it doesn't

really I'm not buying that this is going

to reduce chafing as well as as well as

the the seea plast balm because you have

to understand caast balm is almost like

a diaper rash cream for adults to use on

their face um yes you can use diaper

rash cream on your face if you want to

but it's it tends to be kind of heavy

this is the the coplas balm has

dimethicone in it so it's more fast

absorbing but the gel isn't really

giving that here's where the gel has

been blowing my mind all right I've been

using this Lor B copl gel around my eyes

for a couple couple of weeks now and I

have really seen a visible Improvement

and just the overall look of Fine Lines

around my eyes as well as I feel like my

under eyes are a little bit tighter and

brighter and smoother more radiant it's

a glycerin based skin protectant which

is you know glycerin is really hydrating

but I just put a little tiny bit there

and you know rub it in what I like about

it is it's nice and lightweight but it

also creates this lightweight film on

the skin surface that really helps

protect eyelids from any kind of

irritant getting on there and further

like drying out your eyes I've been so

impressed with this not sponsored this

is fragrance free it's really good as a

skin protectant like for dry irritated

hands or chapped lips chapped skin it's

not as good as their seea plast balm but

as an eye cream it's amazing I have used

it on my lips a few times it is nice and

hydrating but I'm telling telling you as

an eye cream and I don't use eye creams

I just use my regular moisturizer around

my face but this as an eye cream I've

been impressed it has made a huge

difference in the appearance of the skin

around my eyes well by huge I mean like

I see a difference there's a noticeable

difference in that the my under eye area

looks smoother

brighter and the little Fine Lines

around my eyes are a lot less obvious

this formula has glycerin it has p anol

it has dimethicone in it a skin

protectant it also has hyaluronic acid

and what I like about it around the eyes

is that it's not heavy it's it doesn't

feel heavy it just feels like a nice

hydrating protective film and it doesn't

run around my eyes and feel oily I've

also tried putting this on the lips

that's fine you do get a little bit of a

sweet taste from the glycerin whatever I

mean don't need a whole tube of it but

it is safe to use on your lips if you

want to I prefer to use petroleum jelly

cavey healing oil on my lips to this but

yes you certainly could use it that way

product number four is another one that

has kind of blown my mind quite a bit it

is a hair care product it is the L'Oreal

ever pure Simply Clean I think it's

called elastic fiber hair mask I mean I

just can't get over how good this hair

mask is the Simply Clean elastic fiber

mask uh look how Rich the formula is it

really does a number on your hair

strands if you've got long hair and

you're looking for a good mask you will

not regret this

decision wow wow my hair has gotten long

again using this hair mask it looks my

hair when I use the mask it's shiny it's

silky it's manageable and it almost in

the mirror especially you know out of

the side eye and pour lighting I'm like

did I get some kind of keratin hair

treatment you know Biolage has a great

hair mask this from L'Oreal move over

Biolage you know if you go back some of

my older videos hair care products I'm

loving always would talk about Biolage

this new one from L'Oreal it outperforms

the biage it's it's the Aesthetics of it

and I love the consistency of this

product elastic fiber it's almost like

kind of like snail M that you get this

stringy stuff but it's thick and it

really envelops all of the string my one

gripe but I mean it's inevitable it's in

a jar which I find to be a little

challenging to use in the shower you

know I turn the water off of course when

I'm applying a mask to my hair but then

it's like getting the jar back on

tightly the jar lid tightly enough so

that the water from the shower doesn't

make its way in there but all in all

highly recommend trying this out if you

have long hair I think if you have short

hair it would be kind of useless I don't

feel as though people who have really

short hair unless you have curly hair

you know condition

conditioner may not be necessary for you

I use conditioner to cut down on Tangles

frizz and to improve manageability but

when I've had shorter hair conditioner

is Superfluous for my routine it may be

for you it is a really thick really rich

and it does not have a scent to it it

does have rosemary leaf oil so if you're

allergic to fragrance you might have a

problem with that but otherwise um

there's no scent to it um so that has

really been amazing the last product I

want to share with you guys is in the

realm of makeup it's actually three

products I have this now elaborate

mascara routine that I shared with you

all in the Vlogs couple of Vlogs ago so

I got these mascaras from winky loocks I

wanted to try winky Lux I I have to

admit the packaging rope me in have

beautiful packaging um you know the

flowers on the boxes pretty shiny so I

decided to try their mascaras

not disappointed the mascara primer goes

on pink dries down clear and colorless

it does a good job of creating a base

that the mascara will adhere to better

but it also lengthens your lashes so it

it creates a base to build off of for

lash lengthening then on the top I come

in with their mascara and that mascara

gives full and long okay but not clumpy

so I like that then they have this

little tiny mascara called detail

oriented if you want to elongate each

individual bottom lash this is the this

is the tool this is the product that you

need to try because I have tried

mascaras that have this fine that offer

this fine applicator for bottom lashes

and I've even reviewed them favorably on

here in past videos this one really

beats though you can actively see your

lash L getting long you can see you can

you can see lashes that you didn't see

before you know there little teeny tiny

baby lashes here that are practically

invisible pull this down over it and all

of a sudden There's A Lash there that's

like long it really it really does a

good job wear it throughout the day I

don't get flakiness doesn't smudge it

doesn't get up on my upper upper eyelid

so taking it off I you I've been using I

was using the um Ela m D Oil and gel

cleanser as a cleansing balm I reviewed

that in the last monthly video by the

way I finished that I've been using the

albolene myeller cleansing milk as a

first step that product I've reviewed in

other videos before but that has been

dissolving all of this all all of all of

these three different mascaras all right

y'all those are things I tried out

throughout February my opinions on them

hope this video was helpful to you all

make sure you come back on April 1st

April Fool's Day for the next

installment because I'm currently trying

out products as well that I entertained

including in this video but I want to

just keep it to five products or five
