00:00Hey guys, it's Mi-Anne and this is Beauty With Me.
00:02The other day I was at Whole Foods just doing some light grocery shopping
00:05and I noticed that there are a ton of beauty products,
00:09like an entire hair care aisle, conditioners, a lot of makeup, skin care.
00:15So I thought it would be really interesting to try to challenge myself to only use products from Whole Foods
00:20for seven days.
00:22So that's everything from makeup to my skin care to my shampoo.
00:26So I am going to go to Whole Foods. I'm going to shop for everything that I need this week.
00:32But before we go, please make sure you're subscribed down below.
00:36Click that little red button so we can hang out every single Monday.
00:39Alright, so without further ado, let's go to Whole Foods.
00:58So I am back and I have two big old bags of Whole Foods stuff with me.
01:02I'm not going to lie, it was much more expensive than I anticipated.
01:09$376.25. The lip balm was the cheapest item.
01:12And this one's only $2.
01:14The most expensive item was for $34.99 and that was the Dr. Hauschka Foundation.
01:20So everything else kind of fell in between.
01:22I definitely went ham and got a ton of stuff.
01:25But what was so cool about being in the Whole Foods was that there were so many brands I had
01:30never heard of before.
01:32So I'm going to be using these items and these items alone for the next seven days.
01:36And I will check in with you at the end of the week and let you know how it all
01:41went.
01:41See you then. Bye!
01:42So it has been seven days since I ditched all my usual makeup, hair, and skincare in favor of all
01:49Whole Foods buys.
01:50And I've got to say, I'm thoroughly impressed.
01:53So starting off with my morning skincare routine, I would cleanse and then use a toner.
01:59So this Thayer's Witch Hazel Toner in the coconut water formulation is new.
02:05I liked it. I thought it was a nice hydrating toner, but it's very scented.
02:09It actually has coconut added fragrance to this.
02:13I don't tend to love things that are very, very fragranced.
02:16But if you can get over the smell, it's a good toner.
02:20So after toning, I'll move on to my sunscreen step.
02:22And I chose this Babo Clear Zinc sunscreen because it has a bunch of really common moisturizing ingredients in it.
02:28So shea butter, sunflower seed oil, glycerin.
02:31I was thinking that I could use it as a daily moisturizer and in my SPF step.
02:36And I've got to say, it did work. It was hydrating.
02:38It gave my skin a nice matte finish, which was great for applying makeup on top.
02:44Because this is a mineral sunscreen, it is loaded with zinc oxide.
02:47So it does have that pasty, almost white cast-y look to it when you rub it in.
02:53But it does go away if you rub it in enough.
02:55After sunscreen, I'll just follow up with a little bit of lip balm.
02:58This is the Whole Foods Organic Peppermint Lip Balm.
03:00Super cheap. Smells really good.
03:02So after my skincare is done, I'll move on to makeup.
03:05And I've been using this foundation by Dr. Hauschka.
03:08Pros, it basically, it feels like a tinted moisturizer.
03:11It's so lightweight, creamy. It blends really beautifully.
03:15It doesn't have a ton of coverage. I would say it's like sheer buildable.
03:18It smells. It's just, it's so fragrant. It has a floral scent.
03:22If they made us a fragrance-free version of this.
03:25After foundation, I move on to concealer.
03:27And I have the Well People Bio Correct Concealer.
03:29I love this concealer. It is so beautiful. It's so lightweight.
03:34It does cover well. I would say it has medium coverage.
03:36You do have to shake it a bit before you use it.
03:38But it has the beautiful brightening effect.
03:41I will say though, with this concealer and the foundation, the shade range is like abysmal.
03:46Please come out with more shade. This concealer is so good.
03:49And everyone should be able to experience it.
03:51Once my face has been evened out, I'll use some powder.
03:56And this is, again, another product from Well People.
03:59It's called the Bio Brightener Invisible Powder.
04:01So this is a very finely milled powder that has kind of a luminous quality on the skin.
04:06It is supposed to help make your face a little bit more long-wearing.
04:10I don't think that this powder has as much oil control as I would like.
04:15I have pretty oily skin.
04:17But if you have drier skin, I think you would love this.
04:20So for my blush and my bronzer and my highlighter and then my eyeshadow step, I actually used all the
04:24stuff from this palette.
04:26So this is the Pacifica Solar palette.
04:28And it has pretty much everything you need.
04:30The bronzer is really nice.
04:31It has a very nice, cool tone to it.
04:34So it doesn't look too muddy on the skin.
04:35It doesn't look too orange.
04:36It blends really nicely.
04:37The blush is nice.
04:38I think it's a little bit deep for my complexion, but I was able to make it work.
04:42Highlighters I wasn't a huge fan of.
04:44They are very natural looking.
04:47So they'll give you a nice sheen to the face.
04:49But I like a highlighter that's a little bit more substantial.
04:51Eyeshadows are really nice.
04:52They're really nicely pigmented.
04:54They're really easy to blend.
04:56My favorite shade was this blue one.
04:58So for the week, it was totally fine.
05:00I think that it would be amazing for travel.
05:02Although it doesn't have a mirror.
05:03Next up is eyeliner.
05:05And I had this liquid eyeliner by Zuzu Luxe in the shade Azure.
05:09And this was hands down my favorite makeup product that I used all week.
05:14It is such a beautiful eyeliner.
05:17Vegan, cruelty free, has the most beautiful like opaque formula.
05:22Gorgeous bright blue color.
05:25And really, really long wearing.
05:27Would highly recommend.
05:28After eyeliner, I'll move on to mascara.
05:32Now I have two of these actually.
05:33Because I mistakenly picked up the non-waterproof version of the mineral fusion mascara.
05:39But I have the waterproof version here.
05:40And this mascara is really great if you're looking for a more natural look.
05:45You can definitely build up the volume.
05:47It's pretty waterproof.
05:48I got a little bit of smudging throughout the day.
05:50But it's great for sensitive eyes.
05:52And last but not least for the makeup was this lipstick.
05:55Now this is the Hemp Originals lipstick.
05:57Had never heard of that brand before.
05:59It was in the shade Red Shine.
06:02I don't know why it was called Red Shine.
06:03Because it is pink.
06:05It feels like a tinted lip balm.
06:06So it's very hydrating.
06:08It feels really nice.
06:08But it doesn't have a lot of color payoff.
06:10Being limited to one lipstick and also having it not be very pigmented was a little bit of a downer.
06:15Although the lipstick did feel really good.
06:17So that is all the makeup.
06:19I think the general consensus for the whole makeup experience was that I actually really liked a lot of the
06:24products.
06:24I would just want more of them.
06:27So then it comes to taking it off.
06:29Taking it off at night, I was using the Mineral Fusion Makeup Removing Oil Cleanser.
06:34This stuff gets waterproof makeup off really well.
06:36It does melt away lipstick, foundation.
06:39It does sting a little bit.
06:40So keep your eyes closed.
06:42I always double cleanse after I cleanse with an oil just because I don't like to have that oily residue
06:47on my skin.
06:47Although you do not have to.
06:48But I use this Evan Healy Tea Tree Gel Cleanser.
06:51Probably my favorite skincare product that I used this week.
06:54It's a really good gel cleanser.
06:56It has tea tree oil in it so it's antibacterial.
06:58It doesn't strip the skin.
07:00It doesn't foam too much.
07:01It's very gentle.
07:02It smells good.
07:03It feels good.
07:04I love it.
07:05So once my makeup is thoroughly off my face, I will hop in the shower.
07:10So I've been using two products from the Jon Masters Organics line.
07:13The Evening Primrose Shampoo and the Lavender Avocado Conditioner.
07:16I really liked both products.
07:18The shampoo itself, I think, could be a little bit more hydrating.
07:21But I love the conditioner.
07:23It made my hair feel really silky and smooth after.
07:26So when it comes to my nighttime skincare after the cleansing step,
07:29I'll go back to Tone with the same toner.
07:32And then I'll go in with a serum.
07:33Now I love exfoliating serums.
07:36And I just started using the Mad Hippie Exfoliating Serum.
07:40It has alpha hydroxy acids in it.
07:42And it's really nice.
07:43It feels very light on the skin.
07:45It doesn't burn or sting.
07:46It doesn't smell weird.
07:47It does, I think, make my skin look brighter.
07:50And finally is the moisturizing step.
07:52I really love facial oils.
07:54I use them pretty much every single night.
07:56And this brand, Trilogy, is one of my favorites.
07:59It is a beautiful, lightweight oil.
08:02It absorbs really fast.
08:03It doesn't feel like it's sitting on top of your skin.
08:05It doesn't feel like it's suffocating you.
08:07That was the whole routine for the week.
08:09If there's one thing I really took away from this experience,
08:11is that there are a ton of really cool indie brands at Whole Foods that are really accessible
08:18just because of the sheer ubiquity of the store.
08:21So that is the entire seven days of Whole Foods beauty challenge done.
08:25Let me know if there are any other stores that you think that I should check out in the comments
