00:01Hey guys, this is MeeAnne and welcome to My Sweet Digs.
00:04Just kidding, it's Beauty With Me.
00:07If you guys have been watching my show for a while, which I sincerely hope you are,
00:11this is a bit of a different episode for Beauty With Me.
00:14I typically tend to show you guys new products or things that I'm trying for the first time
00:18and I don't usually venture into the realm of what I'm currently loving.
00:22But I thought it might be fun to show you guys what I use at night and sort of get
00:27unready with me
00:29with an I fashion.
00:31So without further ado, I'm going to stop rambling and let's get into it.
00:35So the first thing I do when I get home from work is take off my coat and my shoes.
00:40At this point, it's usually around 7 p.m. and I'm starving.
00:43So I'm making a chili that I have never made before.
00:49We'll see how it goes. Bootsy's here too.
00:52Hi! Can you help me cook? I miss you.
00:59She wants to get put down.
01:00Tonight I decided to make a veggie chili, which is adapted from a recipe from this blog, Minimalist Baker.
01:06It's a really simple recipe. It just involves onions, sweet potatoes, black beans, diced tomatoes,
01:11spices, and then some quinoa just to make it a little heartier.
01:14And I also had a bunch of quinoa that I wanted to use up.
01:16So I like chili because you can kind of just throw a bunch of stuff into it.
01:19Once the chili is simmering on the stove, it takes about 50 minutes to cook.
01:22So I usually head into the bathroom and take off my makeup.
01:25I don't know about you guys, but taking off my makeup is one of my favorite parts of the night.
01:31I hate having makeup on all day and it's like oily and I just need a clean slate.
01:35It's kind of like taking off your bra, taking off your makeup, getting into comfy pants.
01:39Those are the three. Or being naked. Whatever floats your boat.
01:43I get into the bathroom and I will use some kind of cleansing oil or cream to remove my makeup.
01:47I wear waterproof mascara every single day, so I need stuff that will cut through waterproof mascara fast.
01:52So I'm currently using this cleansing cream from Germablend.
01:56I typically use cleansing oils. I find that oil cuts through waterproof makeup the best.
02:01I was pretty skeptical that a cream would work as fast as an oil, but this does.
02:07It cuts through makeup really well.
02:10It does sting a little bit if you get in your eyes, so be sure to be aware of that.
02:15Then to wash off all the residue from my makeup remover, I usually double cleanse.
02:20And I'm using this Kat Roodoo Cocoa Honey Papaya Enzyme Cleanser,
02:23which if you guys have seen my favorite products from 2017 video, you know that I love it.
02:29It's so good. It smells like honey, like candied fruits.
02:33It is very gentle, even though it does have these enzymes that give a little bit of exfoliation.
02:39But it doesn't leave my skin feeling tight. It gets off the cleanser really effectively.
02:43I use it morning and night. It is so good.
02:46Once my skin is clean, if I'm feeling it, if I'm not too lazy, I'll throw on a mask.
02:51So today I'm using this one by The Ordinary.
02:53It is the AHA BHA Peeling Solution.
02:57I really like this brand. They're very affordable. They have great stuff.
03:02This is a 10-minute peel. It looks like this kind of looks like blood.
03:07And you just put it on your face and let it chemically exfoliate the dead skin for about 10 minutes.
03:13So during that time, I dedicate to cat stuff.
03:16So if you guys have seen my videos before, you know that I have a cat.
03:19Her name is Bootsy. She's a tuxedo and she's so cute and I'm obsessed with her.
03:23In the 10 minutes that my mask is drying, I will usually feed her and then I will scoop her
03:29poops.
03:29It's time.
03:30She likes to watch me while I scoop her poops, like just to make sure I'm doing it right.
03:34Then after I'm done with that, I wash my hands thoroughly.
03:38Alright, so I am going to hop in the shower now.
03:41But as you can see, my shower curtain is completely clear.
03:44So I'm going to have to ask you to leave while I take a shower and I will see you
03:48guys when I'm all clean.
03:52Bye!
03:54When I'm out, I run to my room, change my pajamas and start my skincare routine.
03:58So my nighttime skincare routine isn't super involved.
04:01It's really just three products, a toner, a serum, and a moisturizer.
04:05Starting off with the toner, this is the Pixi Rose Tonic.
04:10I love Pixi Glow Tonic.
04:13Pixi Glow Tonic is their original toner.
04:15It's an exfoliating toner.
04:16It has glycolic acid in it, but they came out with this version, the rose version, that's more hydrating.
04:21It has rose and elderflower in it.
04:23And I'm really enjoying it, especially in the winter when my skin needs a little bit more moisture.
04:26This toner is really nice as a post-cleansing step.
04:30It also smells like roses and I love roses.
04:33Then I move on to my serum and I love this serum.
04:37It's a Rene Rouleau Pour and Wrinkle Perfecting Serum.
04:40I actually got a facial with Rene back in December.
04:42It was so amazing.
04:44This serum is really great because it targets breakouts and it's kind of an anti-aging serum.
04:49So it has lactic acid, glycolic acid, salicylic acid, niacinamide, and elantuan in it.
04:55Ever since I've been using this serum, my skin has been really clear.
05:00My pores have been smaller.
05:01I just think my skin drinks it up and I'm actually nearing the end of it and it's making me
05:07really sad.
05:07So as the final step in my nighttime skincare routine, I'll use a facial oil.
05:12I really like facial oils, especially for nighttime.
05:15I find that they're very hydrating.
05:17They keep my skin from getting flaky.
05:19Ever since I started switching to using facial oils, I haven't had that winter skin flakiness.
05:25So it's been like two years and I haven't had like a crazy flake patch.
05:29So I guess it's working.
05:32I'm using this one from Pete Rivco.
05:34It's called the Balancing Facial Oil.
05:36It's really nice.
05:37It's very simple.
05:38There's no added fragrance.
05:39It has avocado oil, jojoba oil, prickly pear oil, and vitamin E in it.
05:44It absorbs quickly.
05:45It doesn't get on my sheets.
05:46It doesn't make my face feel overly oily.
05:49Once my facial oil is on my face, I like to use this Jade Guasa tool that I actually got
05:53and learned how to use from Sandra Lanshin, who is the founder of this wellness center called Treatment by Lanshin.
05:59I got facial acupuncture and Guasa from her.
06:02She taught me how to use this Guasa tool basically to massage the product into your skin, improve circulation, drain
06:10a little bit of lymph.
06:11I really like it.
06:12I gotta say, I don't always remember to use it, but when I do, I do find the inflammation is
06:18down on my skin.
06:19It's really great if you've had one too many drinks or if you're like kind of lacking on sleep.
06:24It makes putting on your skincare a little bit more fun.
06:27So once my skincare is done, at that point my chili is probably done and I come out to my
06:33living room to sit in front of the TV while I eat.
06:37I'm currently binge watching Netflix's Jessica Jones.
06:41Very good show.
06:42Highly recommend.
06:43After watching two or three or four episodes, I will retire to Bootsy and give her a little play sesh.
06:53So I like to carve out at least 10 to 15 minutes a day dedicated to playing with her.
06:59I'll play with her little mouse or I'll dangle her little toy for her just to get her excited and
07:04get her a little tired before bed.
07:05And then I get in bed and then I'll scroll on my phone either on Instagram or Pinterest until I
07:11get tired and go to sleep.
07:12So I hope that you enjoyed it.
07:14Let me know if there's anything that you think I should try.
07:18Skincare, mask wise, shows I should watch.
07:21Always looking for new stuff and I will catch you guys next week.
07:24Bye!
