00:05Today we're gonna be trying baby powder as an alternative beauty hack. We can use it as a dry
00:09shampoo, an eyelash volumizer, something to like prime your skin, I don't know what that means,
00:16and to keep your lipstick on your lips longer. I don't have a whole lot of experience with baby
00:21powder. I don't have a lot of babies in my life, but I have a feeling it could it could
00:25be pretty
00:25good as a dry shampoo. So I love using dry shampoo usually about once or twice a week,
00:31so I'm really excited to see how this is gonna work for me. Just nervous about not knowing how
00:37it's gonna react to my skin and to my hair and to my eyelashes. I did not know baby powder
00:42could do
00:43any of these things. I kind of thought it was exclusively for within diapers and I don't even
00:47know what it does there. Alright guys, so I'm super excited to take this baby powder home and try the
00:52four different ways that it can be used. Follow me for the next three days to see what happens.
00:57Good morning. So today is day one of the baby powder challenge. Knowing that my skin's a little
01:03bit drier, I'm gonna use it in my own way and see how it works. Here we go. I'm gonna
01:09start putting
01:10it into my hair. I'm not really sure how you're supposed to do this without a spray bottle, so
01:16hopefully I don't have gray hair. I think I just blot it. I don't know. We'll see how it works.
01:31So I'm gonna check back in with you guys in a few hours and let you know how everything's holding
01:35up.
01:37So I just ran out to get a coffee from work. It's about 1 30. The baby powder is doing
01:42a great job.
01:43I honestly don't even think I would ever go back to dry shampoo at this point. It's really light.
01:49Overall, pretty happy for the day. This is working because usually my coffee cups got big red stains
01:56everywhere. Today it's like, oh my god, can you even still on my lips? It's like 2 o'clock. I
02:01haven't
02:01had to refresh, so this is a hack I might keep in my life. Hey guys, so I am finally
02:07home from day one
02:08of the baby powder challenge. For the most part, throughout the entire day, I mainly got compliments.
02:14People said that my skin looked really smooth, it looked really poreless, and that it looked like porcelain.
02:21Good morning. So today is day two of the baby powder challenge. I think it'd be kind of cool to
02:27do half my
02:27face with baby powder and half my face without and then really get a good sense of what sides
02:34getting more oily, what sides look more matte. So let's just let's just try that today. Why not?
02:41I'm camping, so it's quite perfect day to try the don't wash your hair dry shampoo thing. So I'm just
02:47going to shake it around a bit and hope that the wasps and bees and everything else in nature doesn't
02:54attack me. I'm just going to put a little on my brush. Oh, this is weird.
03:02Oh, it actually feels really nice. It's nice and smooth. So I think it's looking pretty good.
03:07It's different than what I normally do. So this is the side that I used the baby powder and this
03:12is
03:13the side that I didn't and I don't see that big of a difference.
03:20The baby powder has absorbed a lot of the oil. Usually my skin gets really oily during the day and
03:26I'm not finding that at all. So I would say that's a pro. But Zena, is my hair greasy?
03:32No, not at all. It's perfectly fine. So I'm just going to put a little bit of baby powder
03:37on the q-tip and then kind of get it on my lashes. Overall that worked pretty nicely.
03:45Now I'm going to be using baby powder as a base for my lipstick. Last night I went to a
03:51rollerblading
03:52birthday party and definitely it worked up a little bit of a sweat. So I can see a little
03:57bit more grease in my roots than normal. Since I have really dark hair, I don't want to just directly
04:03put this on because I think it's just going to make my hair look white or gray. So I think
04:07I'm just
04:08going to like put a little bit on my hands, rub it together and then just kind of work it
04:16in
04:17until I feel like as much oil as I can get is dried up. So it's day three of the
04:25try this challenge and
04:26today I did the baby powder on the eyelashes to make them look more voluminous. And although we're
04:30not quite midday, I do have to say that my eyes are itching a lot. I keep having to rub
04:35them. And
04:36when I do, I feel the gunk on my fingers of like the baby powder having mixed with like natural
04:41eye liquid
04:42and things like that. So it's quite uncomfortable. So it's lunchtime and as you can see my lips are
04:48already pretty bare actually. The baby powder didn't really make my lipstick long lasting. I wouldn't say
04:56that it would stay on if you were eating or drinking or anything like that. Okay, so I've had the
05:02baby
05:02powder in for a little bit and I think I'm pulling off some clean-ish looking hair. Definitely doesn't
05:11look as fresh as it should. Maybe this hack would work better right when you're beginning to see a
05:16little bit of grease build up. You should use a little bit instead of waiting for a lot to build
05:21up and then using a lot because I feel like it's drying my scalp out a little bit too much.
05:26Alright guys, so that is the end of the baby powder challenge for me, but that's not going to be
05:31the
05:31last time I ever try baby powder again. Honestly, I really really learned a lot and there's a couple of
05:38the hacks that I'm definitely going to try again. So I've officially completed the try this challenge
05:43using baby powder and I would say that I'm so happy that I did because now I use it basically
05:50as
05:51my only dry shampoo. I wouldn't really go back. I think it worked so well. I will most definitely be
05:58incorporating powder onto my lips after applying lipstick to ensure that it lasts longer throughout
06:03the day. So I really hope that you guys learned something along the way and will feel inspired
06:10to go grab a bottle of baby powder yourself. Thanks so much for following along and I will see you
06:14guys
06:15next time. Bye!
