Transcript
00:00My beauty collection started at a very young age.
00:02I'm definitely a makeup junkie, so I have a huge, huge collection.
00:06Hey guys, I'm Angel Marino.
00:08You guys might know me as MacDaddy, and I'm here with Refinery29.
00:11Today, I'm going to reveal what's inside of my beauty drawers.
00:15So my beauty drawers definitely reveal that I'm very extra, if you guys can't tell, very
00:21glam AF.
00:21There's tons of sparkle, tons of shine, and I'm super excited to show you guys what's
00:25in here.
00:26So this is my beauty drawer.
00:30In here, we have tons of brushes from so many different brands.
00:34We also have, of course, a drawer full of sponges.
00:37We have beauty blenders.
00:39We have puffs.
00:40We have some eyeliners, as well as some disposable mascara wands and some Q-tips in case I'm working
00:46on anybody or anything like that.
00:48This is probably one of my favorite drawers because we have all of my palettes.
00:52I really love this Pat McGrath palette.
00:55She just always nails it with the packaging.
00:57It's just one of those things where it's so beautiful that you didn't even want to touch
01:01it.
01:01Moving on to the next drawer, we have more palettes.
01:06We also have different types of eyeshadows.
01:08We have liquid shadows, cream shadows.
01:10We have, of course, my one-size palette.
01:14This is from my friend Patrick Star, the Visionary palette.
01:17It is so stunning, so beautiful.
01:19It's a good pop of neutrals with some colors.
01:22And down over here, we have more of loose pigments, different types of single shadows.
01:30We have things that are a little bit more limited edition.
01:33We have brow products.
01:35We have different pomades.
01:37This is from a brand called The Gypsy Shrine, which is also a really nice small company.
01:42This is their rainbow pink dust and is literally so beautiful.
01:45You can apply this like on your body, in your hair.
01:48This is my lash drawer.
01:51I love lashes, dramatic lashes, wispy lashes, flared lashes.
01:55Since COVID and a lot of big social movements like the Black Lives Matter movement, I've made
02:00it a point to specifically shop a lot of smaller brands, a lot of Black-owned businesses.
02:04We have Colored Rain, which is also a small Black-owned business.
02:08I love this lash so much.
02:10This is from their Safari Rain collection.
02:12This is literally one of my favorite pairs, and it's cruelty-free, which is really, really
02:15awesome.
02:16So moving on to another part of my beauty drawers, yes, there is more.
02:21I get so much stuff sent to me.
02:23It's literally Christmas all the time, and I always make sure to hook up my friends and
02:27my family.
02:27If you follow me like on Instagram or YouTube, there's always a hot giveaway going on.
02:32I love to spread love.
02:34One of my biggest prized possessions is this giant Chanel compact that they sent me over.
02:39And I also have some of my favorite MAC collectibles down here.
02:44They did a Selena collection just recently, and they sent this beautiful PR box.
02:47But I actually have like the OG, like back in the day, like the first time that they ever
02:52did a collection with Selena.
02:55Literally have never touched it.
02:57I'm going to pass it down to my daughter one day to make sure that, you know, she's
03:00glam.
03:00We got to pass down the glam.
03:02Down in here, it's all about like the lips, and it's all about the cheeks.
03:05Every shade that you can imagine.
03:08Every finish that you will ever need.
03:10Some of my favorite lipsticks are these Tom Ford lipsticks.
03:12I just think that they are so aesthetically beautiful.
03:15I also really love these Chanel lipsticks.
03:18These really take me back because I want to say that a Chanel lipstick was like the first
03:22like luxury makeup product that I ever bought.
03:25And right over here, we have tons of lip liners.
03:28MAC lip liners are always like iconic.
03:30This is my gloss drawer.
03:33We have sparkle glosses, sheer glosses, super pigmented glosses.
03:38These are from Lunar Beauty from my friend Manny and UA.
03:41These literally smell like cupcakes.
03:44Down in here, we have like more of our glowy, kind of like bronzy products.
03:50We have tons of highlighters from different brands, of course.
03:54Fenty Beauty.
03:55I love this packaging.
03:56It's so unique.
03:57It's so different.
03:58I love the little kind of pearlized finish that she did on the white.
04:01We also have some palettes over here.
04:03These ambient light palettes are so beautiful.
04:06They're just like super, super soft and silky.
04:09And packaging, hello.
04:10So stunning.
04:11And we also have different forms of highlight because I am a highlight freak.
04:15We don't just need them in a pressed powder.
04:17We don't just need them in a highlighting powder, a loose powder.
04:20We need them in liquids and gels, all of that.
04:23This is a super unique.
04:25This is like a highlighter stick.
04:26So isn't that so cool?
04:28It literally kind of gives you like deodorant vibes.
04:31Right down over here, we have more of like blushes and like face palettes.
04:36We also have some like contour sticks.
04:38We also have my girl, Annie Lawless.
04:41These are really awesome because these are completely clean.
04:43And it's so hard to find really beautiful pigmented blushes that give you a really nice payoff that actually have
04:49clean ingredients.
04:50This is from my friend Gabby and her brand Alomar Cosmetics.
04:53I love her brand so much.
04:55She is a Latinx owned brand.
04:57So again, supporting small businesses.
05:00These face palettes are amazing.
05:02I'm going to be a little biased and say that my favorite products in my beauty drawers are from my
05:07brand Artist Couture.
05:08My Supreme Nudes palette is literally like going to be your best friend.
05:13I'm not even just saying this, okay, because I get like a lot of feedback from a lot of like
05:17my friends that are makeup artists that love this palette so much.
05:20Up here, we have a little bit of like skincare and I love that I have them on these wheels.
05:24I had this incredible company named Reorganize come through and do my drawers and they really helped me kind of
05:30figure out the best way to make sure that everything was accessible but still aesthetically really beautiful.
05:36My foundation drawer, this is all about the face, it's all about the skin, liquids, creams, powders, stick foundations.
05:46My Pat McGrath foundation, this is also really awesome for like an everyday moment.
05:51This is all of like my concealers, all of the setting powders, loose powders, translucent powders, my NARS Radiant Creamy
05:59Concealer.
05:59This is also like super OG, like does not let me down ever.
06:04When I get makeup that doesn't necessarily match my complexion, I always make it a point to give it away
06:08to my makeup artist friends.
06:09I know the struggle with growing up and having to, you know, build your kit, makeup is so expensive, just,
06:16you know, make their life a little easier and so that they have really great products.
06:18And I also really love this Smashbox Halo powder, it's also been one of my favorite products since like the
06:24beginning of time when I first started doing makeup.
06:26Moving on to this next drawer, this one's the fun one.
06:30Skincare can kind of get a little all over the place because there's so much of it and I literally
06:33have everything for like dry skin, textured skin, mature skin.
06:37We have like face serums, we have like nighttime serums, we have a little bit more of like the higher
06:43end skincare on this side.
06:44One of my favorite Murad products is this Retinal Youth Renewal Serum.
06:48This is definitely something that I cannot live without.
06:51So if you know me, you know I'm all about the glow and some of my favorite skincare products are
06:54the ones that are going to make my skin look super dewy and radiant.
06:57I've been super into like Korean skincare lately.
06:59So I have a lot of products from a brand called Glow Recipe that are so incredible, made like all
07:04natural.
07:05And I also love any products that contain like vitamin C to really brighten the skin.
07:09Moving on to this next drawer right down here.
07:13I am like the biggest face mist junkie.
07:17This Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Mist.
07:19I swear by this.
07:21I love to use this specifically when I apply my highlight.
07:24I really love the Summer Fridays Jet Lag Mask.
07:26This is super hydrating.
07:28I also love this brand because they're so eco-friendly.
07:30They're all about sustainability.
07:31They have a really amazing recycling program.
07:33And they'll send you a little baby jet lag mask, which I think is the cutest program ever.
07:37So definitely check them out.
07:38Since COVID, my skincare routine has definitely increased that nighttime skincare, that daytime skincare,
07:44especially since recently turning 30.
07:46It's something that I definitely got to focus on.
07:47This little tray down here.
07:49And this is kind of like my miscellaneous trays.
07:52We have a lot of hair products down here.
07:54We have some body products as well.
07:55In order to keep your products nice and fresh, you want to make sure that you're paying attention to the
07:59labels on the box.
08:00That tells you how long you can keep something after you open it.
08:03With palettes and loose powders, you should kind of be okay for like 12 months.
08:08But your lipsticks and your glosses, you definitely want to keep a lookout for those in about like six months.
08:22And that's it, guys.
08:24Three giant cabinets later packed with tons of drawers full of makeup.
08:29That is everything that is in my beauty closet.
