00:00Hey guys, it's Mian and this is Beauty With Me.
00:02I have a different video today.
00:04I'm going to do an empties video where I'm going to show you everything that I've been
00:09collecting for the past six months.
00:12To the average beauty consumer, it might not seem like that much stuff, but trust me when
00:17I say that my job is to test new makeup.
00:20So if I finished it up, it means I really liked it and I'm going to share it with you
00:24guys.
00:24But before I start showing you guys what is in the contents of this bag, please make sure
00:29you are subscribed down below, little red button.
00:31As per usual, Beauty With Me comes out every Monday at 11am.
00:34I actually end up testing a lot more makeup than I do like hair and skin, so I don't have
00:39a ton of makeup empties, but I will show you what I do have.
00:41So the first up is this mascara.
00:44It's the Catrice Glamour Doll Waterproof Mascara.
00:47I really like Catrice mascaras, especially the ones that have the silicone brush tips.
00:51It's really easy to get between your eyelashes, it really volumizes and it also defined pretty
00:56well.
00:57So next up is this one.
00:58This is a mascara from a Korean brand called Etude House and it's called the Curl Fix Mascara.
01:03It doesn't say it's waterproof, I don't think, but it is.
01:06I'm embarrassed to say I've had this for maybe a year.
01:09So I kind of finally decided to retire it.
01:11It's actually one of my favorite mascaras.
01:13The brush has an interesting comb on one side, it's very, very short bristles and the other
01:18side they're very long.
01:19I like to use the short side for my bottom eyelashes and then the long side for my top,
01:24but then for detail shots I'll twist it over and use the shorter bristles and it can give
01:29you the prettiest eye-opening effect.
01:31It holds a curl really well.
01:32This eyeliner from Well People.
01:35This one kind of dried up on me I think because I didn't really close it all the way.
01:41The formula is good, it's not the most water-resistant from Well People which is a very green brand.
01:46It's not every day you find a pretty decent liquid liner in that kind of arena.
01:49I think that the brush is a little bit on the nubby, thick side.
01:53I think it would be a little bit easier to do precise work if it was slightly thinner.
01:58This is the Jouer Lip Cream in Fraise Bonbon.
02:00This is a liquid lipstick that I've had for a really long time, like maybe two, almost three
02:07years and it dried out because I didn't screw the cap on.
02:10But it is a beautiful liquid lipstick, it's really good.
02:13I highly recommend this line from Jouer.
02:14This one actually applies quite thin on the lips so it doesn't feel crusty or cakey on
02:19and it has a really great color selection.
02:21So this is my Beauty Blender Bubble, the light pink one that came out.
02:25I mean I love Beauty Blenders, who doesn't?
02:27But this one actually was really, really soft.
02:30Like the Beauty Blender is soft, but this one's like softer.
02:33And then I dropped it in the bathroom of a hotel.
02:36I was just like...
02:38Gross.
02:39I've been using this Dermablend Makeup Dissolver
02:42which really cuts through waterproof makeup like fast.
02:47I will say it does sting just a little bit, but it works so quickly that I was willing to
02:52overlook that.
02:53This is a lab sample so it's not the final packaging.
02:56This is the IT Cosmetics Buy My Makeup Melting Cleansing Balm and this is really good.
03:01It also cuts through waterproof makeup really fast.
03:04This one doesn't sting, but it is in a balm so it's like less conducive for travel.
03:09So after I cleanse with the oily makeup removers, I always double cleanse with some sort of cleanser and I
03:16finished finally my Glossier Milky Jelly Cleanser.
03:19It was sitting in my shower and it's really nasty now.
03:22I did finish all of it.
03:24I really liked it.
03:25It has like a kind of bouncy gel texture that feels really nice on.
03:29It smells like roses because it has rose water in it.
03:31If you guys have been watching the show for a while, you might know that I went to Renee Rouleau,
03:36who's an esthetician, to get a facial from her in December.
03:40She gave me a bunch of product after the facial and I've been using it pretty much since then and
03:45this is one of my favorites, it's the Pore and Wrinkle Perfecting Serum.
03:48It has a bunch of acids in it so it's really great at like evening out skin tone, it helps
03:53with acne and like whiteheads and stuff like that.
03:55It doesn't make my skin irritated, it's very gentle.
03:58The Anti-Cis Treatment, so this I love.
04:01This is a serum that specifically targets like cis like breakouts and that's like the types of breakouts that are
04:07like under the skin, they hurt.
04:08I don't know how this thing works, but it does.
04:11It just like cuts down the healing time of my cysts basically.
04:14So I have one more acne product and that is the Dr. Pimple Popper Acne Spot Treatment from SLMD.
04:20So that's actually Dr. Pimple Popper's skincare line, it stands for Sandra Lee MD.
04:25This is her acne spot treatment, it's 2% salicylic acid and it comes out in a little roller ball
04:30that makes it really easy to just like kind of slap onto a zit.
04:33I kept this in my bedside table.
04:35Does this happen to you because like I feel like every time I am like about to drift off to
04:39sleep and I touch my face and I'm like, I have a pimple!
04:42And you don't want to like get out of bed to like get your pimple cream, so I just keep
04:46this in my bedside table for those moments when I don't want to get up and I put it on
04:51and then I go to sleep.
04:52This is the Pharmacy Green Screen SPF 30 Sunscreen.
04:56This is probably my favorite facial sunscreen, it feels like moisturizer, it's super lightweight, the active ingredients in this are
05:05titanium dioxide and zinc oxide so it doesn't have any of the harmful coral killing ingredients in it that a
05:12lot of sunscreens do.
05:13Because it's not greasy, it layers well under makeup.
05:16I love it!
05:18This is the Burt's Bees Mango Moisturizing Lip Balm, used it all up, scraped it at the bottom over here.
05:28It smells really good.
05:29I am a Burt's Bees Lip Balm fan for life.
05:33I love the original lip balm specifically because it goes on matte and I like that because you can put
05:38it on before lipstick and it won't compromise the finish.
05:40These like kind of flavored ones of the Burt's Bees line, they're a little bit on the shiny side so
05:46they're not as good for that but if I were to choose I would just always go for the original.
05:50I love the original.
05:51So the next lip product is the Bite Agave Lip Mask.
05:56Now this is a thick lip mask.
06:00It's a lip mask but I pretty much just use it as a lip balm.
06:03It's very hydrating, it's very thick.
06:05So I only use this at night.
06:08It's great for the winter.
06:09I actually use this up I think in February so it did see me through the entire winter season.
06:13It lasts forever too.
06:15Alright, so on to hair.
06:16I've been using this Orbe Mask for Beautiful Colors pretty much since I got my hair colored in January.
06:23It smells really, really, really good, made my hair super soft.
06:26So next up I have this pomade from Fat Boy.
06:29It's called the Sea Salt Pomade and I use like most of it and then it kind of dried out
06:34toward the end.
06:35But it's basically a kind of gritty pomade that you would get onto your hand, that would get on my
06:39hands.
06:39And then I would use it through the mid lengths and ends of my hair to kind of fluff it
06:42out and give it a little bit of piecey texture.
06:44It's really, really nice.
06:46It has a matte finish so it doesn't look too shiny in the hair.
06:49It smells really good.
06:51And last but not least, potentially the most boring part of the video, deodorant!
06:55I've gone through two deodorants.
06:58The first of which is this one from Ursa Major.
07:00It's called the Hop and Fresh deodorant.
07:03It's 100% natural.
07:04It has no aluminum and that sort of thing.
07:06If you guys watched my deodorant testing video, you know that I don't sweat that much.
07:10I don't smell that much.
07:12So I do find that it's a regular deodorant and not an antiperspirant.
07:14It's fine to use every day.
07:16This one's really nice.
07:17It smells kind of eucalyptus-y.
07:19It is a little bit on the drier side.
07:21So when you put it on your armpits, you do kind of have to rub a bit so it like
07:24warms up.
07:24But then it totally applies easily and it's fine.
07:27And the next one is this one from, I think it's spelled AER.
07:31A-E-R.
07:32It's called the Next Level deodorant.
07:34And it's by Vapour, Vapour Organic Beauty.
07:37And it comes up in a little twisty thing like this.
07:42You twist this knob and the little product comes out of here.
07:44This has been my kind of more spring deodorant.
07:47It does control odor pretty well, I would say.
07:50It's also aluminum-free.
07:51It's also pretty natural.
07:52The one thing I don't love about it is the package kind of leaks a bit
07:56because it's kind of more of an oily formula.
07:58And that's it!
08:00Does anyone else feel really accomplished when you finish a product,
08:03when you're like through the last pump of a cleanser or something?
08:06It's like closing a book after you've finished it.
08:09You're ending that chapter of your beauty life.
08:12Am I the only one that feels that way?
08:13If you feel that way, let me know in the comments.
08:15Nah.
08:15But yeah, that's it.
08:16I hope you guys enjoyed this.
