“5n when we looked at it at by the time it oxidized and we looked at it outside it was my perfect match so I was really happy to see that and I'll show you guys the Swatch right there so this product is fragrance free it's vegan and also crueltyfree this is a medium to full coverage velvet matte foundation with a non-comedogenic formula it's supposed to deliver a blurring Second Skin finish for up to 12 hours this long-wearing water-based formula is meant to blur your fine lines and wrinkles and this New Foundation is powered by the Precision blur technology it's h hydrating velvet matte foundation features hyaluronic acid for a smooth Flawless finish and Second Skin fill it's giving that moisture and Plumping effect with the hyaluronic acid but the other highlighted ingredients are bixa orena I hope I'm pronouncing that right which blurs the pores and Imperfections and the third highlighted ingredient is phytoglycogen and that delivers youthful radiant skin but let's take a look at the full ingredient list as we always do just in case you guys see anything in there that may be uh if you're acne prone you're allergic to or just allergic in general I do not see any coconut derivatives in this but let me know as always I kind of miss sometimes generic names can throw me off a little so we have water as the first ingredient and then that second ingredient is called I'm not even going to pronounce that it's also known as D5 it starts with a cyclos something and that's a silicone based compound just so you guys know there's a lot of dimeth cones and trimeth cones in here there's a lot of that because it is more of a blurring Foundation just so you guys know that so if you're allergic or prone to breaking out with a lot of those silicones then just beware of that and you also see vitamin E Toco feral in there so I just wanted to show you guys that you always know I like to show you the list just in case anybody is allergic to any of those ingredients before we jump into applying that I do want to show you guys the abh impeccable 24-hour blurring matte setting spray most of you already know from my previous get ready luxury video if you want to check that out you can check that video out as well I highlighted this product because I have been loving this setting spray so this is available in two sizes and I mentioned in that video I do want to pick up the full size when there's a good sale but uh Ulta was doing a buy one get one free and I got two for $17 of the travel size although I don't always recommend that because if you look at the price differences $36 for the 3”
“35 o 40 Ms a product and you're paying about 43 cents per M now that is not a big jump if you just want to try this product out and you don't want to spend the full $36 but a lot of products especially hourglass is the worst at their travel sizes they charge an extraordinary amount for their travel sizes so just beware of that when you're picking up because a lot of you can just put in your own little spray bottle for traveling and I have to say the one thing I don't really appreciate about this product is the actual spray component of this I love the product in itself but now it's coming out good but at first it was kind of getting a little too aggressive like I'm just going to spray it for you guys I'm just on normal skin but now it's fine but the first few sprays I thought were a little chunky in some respect so just kind of spray it out but I know a lot of people don't want a waste product hey you know what we have to save every penny we can with with the prices of everything in this world right now now Crystal our beautiful glamfam sister hi Crystal my little soul she is uh had recommended or asked me to review this product and I told her I wasn't going to pick up the full bottle I was just going to pick up the sample and I'm sorry it took me so long but I finally got into my local Sephora and did that so that is what the SLE looks like let's Swatch that onto my finger and just so you guys know before I jump into this I just in case any of you are new to this video I'm sorry for my glamfam sisters that watch me every week but I want to let you guys know my details so I'm going to be 47 tomorrow so I'll just say 47 years old I do have sensitive acne prone skin and I obviously have mature Fine Lines wrinkles all of that good stuff and just anything with fragrance typically bothers me and I like the fact that this Foundation is fragrance free I did start off my skincare with my kisine products you guys know I just did my skincare video so you can check out my full AM and PM routine from morning to night I did it all for you in that video I got so many views on that video you guys thank you so much I just really appreciate you guys all supporting that video and sharing it and all that stuff again sharing my videos too really does help me out so if you just share it with friends and family this helps you know grow my channel more which I do appreciate so kisine products are my Holy Grail skin care products I do have some Dermatology products that I absolutely love like my vitamin C and F but my mean skinc care is all kisine and you can take 20% off or I'm sorry 15% off with my kisim code Christy all and that's unlimited as well so anyway you can check out more of that skincare stuff in that video let's get into the foundation so this is what my skin looks like let's take a look at before before we get into the after so this is my skin I do have some texture going on and uh I had a recent breakout and I don't know if it's from this Foundation cuz I used it twice already and I haven't had any breakouts I know it's not my skin care um I'm new to the Ola so it was before the Olay but uh yeah I don't know what happened there that's okay maybe it's just the time of the month now let's just so this is a little bit thicker than I normally wear these days I like more skin tense as I mentioned earlier this is a definitely more of a thicker but it's super ultra smoothing it is really nice you guys I mean as you can see it's still you can still see my skin but it's just perfecting it which I do appreciate that and it is giving a nice blurring effect and it's not for my dry skin girlies it's not drying I have to say that I do feel like at the end of the day it looked really good uh obviously it's a thicker foundation so it's going to seep into your if you have laugh lines I only have a slight amount of bows on my forehead and right here in my 11s even though I said crows in my skincare video this is crows I don't have have any boat dogs there obviously we have a lot of wrinkles there so I have a little bit right here and I do a very small amount I do it about once a year and I didn't even start until my 40s just so you guys know that if you're new here most of you already know that I went as long as I could without doing it and then I caved I wasn't going to do it at all and then I craved my mom never wanted me to do B dogs she's like don't do it she she didn't care for that she was just L natural and let me tell you the woman looked phenomenal for her age I I get a lot of comments saying I don't look my age and I do appreciate that I feel my age but I don't look it I do take good care of myself I I run a lot and I work out at the gym I do believe strength training helps me a lot I think it is so important to lift weights you guys I cannot tell you for your just overall bone health as we mature and get older most of us are already closer to 50 now it is so important just for your overall health I cannot and you're not going to get big I know that's that was my fear too the heavier I lift the bigger I'm going to look that's not possible it's just not possible we will never be able to do that without the assistance of other supplements stuff like that so you don't have to worry about that if anything you're just speeding up your metabolism and you're just making yourself internally and externally feel and look better and I just can't I can't uh relay that enough and I know I had mentioned in a previous video that my best friend and I who is a personal trainer want to start our own YouTube channel or podcast um we already have a name it's called Glam fit which was actually a name just so you guys know that I started before I even did this channel chrisa lore my mom and I had started we wanted to start a clothing company called glamfit and I gave that up when my mom passed away I don't really want to talk about that because I'm not going to lie to you guys it's I didn't upload last week a because I've been trying to catch up on all this PR that I have been sent from other companies that I'll do an unboxing in a different video and I just needed some time I as you can tell I haven't really been posting a lot on even I have City oh by the way I have I get distracted sorry sorry Heather Heather's so cute she does like that I F I start talking about something and then I I think of something else in my head I mentioned this in the last video and I just get all derailed but anyway I'm trying to get myself not to cry uh City Beauty I have the new lip oils now they had a nighttime one was around the same color of this but now this is their new all day lip City lip oils and I have this is I think this is like their nude pink I'll put the name right there pink Pink Champagne is the name and then we also have sangria which is a subtle pinkish red Hue again very natural you're not going to see a whole lot of pigment in that and I I did apply that before I put any of my makeup on just so you guys know that so I have that on my lips I'm going to take that off a little bit just because I want to put some Foundation there I like to just put foundation all over here but anyway I have I I I struggle this time of the year because uh when am I filming this is a lat on in the week so this is the 19th my niece's birthday is tomorrow the 20th and then uh my dad's birthday is the 22nd and my mom's birthday is April 8th now this was just the time of the year that was just a big celebration for you know my family and it just makes me sad you know they say grief just comes I just really don't want to cry they say grief comes so many different roller coasters so many different waves of your life and sometimes I'm totally happy and I'm fine and then other times I'm just sad I'm just really sad and I'm trying not to cry cuz I don't want to keep crying I cried in the last video but I can't hide it you guys I'm trying to be happy I'm trying to appreciate the fact that I do have loved ones around around me or in my life but it's just hard it's hard every year I get older it's like where are my parents and I just want them here celebrating with me and they're not and I have to accept that and I just sometimes have such a hard time doing that I'm trying I really trying I need a minute sorry you guys yourself together yesterday I just broke down I broke down and the best thing I can do is just go for a run and then I felt better as being outside makes me think of my mom cuz she lo my dad too because they loved being outside my Dad loved hearing the birds outside my dad had a lot of heart problems my dad had a heart attack in his early 20s and then just continuously had her heart attacks all my life and um when he had his really bad one and he quadruple bypass uh he uh my dad was thin my dad was small but he was just born with a bad heart and um he uh I took when he was in the rehab after he got out of his bypass surgery he had Parkinson's disease really bad too so he just had a harder time recovering and um I took him outside I wheeled him outside at this rehab place where they send you after the ICU is done with you and they still need to get you you know Mobility moving and stuff like that make sure you're okay uh he just wanted to hear the birds that's all he wanted here was the purse I just I have a picture I'll show you guys of that day it's just was it was so special so special to share those moments with him okay so that I can stop myself from crying I have a funny story for you guys so I went to visit my dad and I'm leaving that day that was that same day this older gentleman in his wheelchair and I have to be at that time gosh how old was I it was probably in my 30s at that time I think I can't remember I was around my 30s maybe late 30s and this older man said excuse me ma'am excuse me ma'am and I'm like yeah can I help you do you need anything I just wanted to make sure he was okay cuz he was obviously in the rehab center and he's like no I just wanted to tell you how beautiful you are he's like you are so beautiful and he goes and when I get out of here I can give you my phone number if you want a nice sugar daddy I I was like oh my god did this man just say that I was cracking up I was like oh you're so kind I said thank you so much I had a boyfriend at the time I was like I'm sorry I I just wanted to let him down gently not that I would ever entertain that but not because he was in a wheelchair but just because I just wouldn't entertain that do you do what makes you feel good inside but anyway it was really cute I told my dad the story he's like do I need to go beat him up I was like oh my gosh dad you just had a quadral bypass anyway that was a funny story so I'm sorry you guys but this Foundation it's been like 15 minutes that we've been talking is still holding up really well I really wanted this video to be TR to chill get ready with me type video and I know you guys liked my last chitchat one so anyway let's get a I'm just taking little spots and I'm using my hand because I really want to work this product into my skin I feel like that gives you the best natural look and really you don't need a lot of this product and I'm just kind of taking it off the cap because I put on my false name Nails I haven't used my press on in a while because I've been trying to just use my natural nails and using my gel polish and I got pretty good at painting my nails with the gel polish but my niece is getting married next month and I want to wear nice pretty nails and I'm like I got to get better at practicing again I'm going to do where's my BK Beauty I'm going to do the BK beauty 101 on this one and I'm just gonna kind of start I just took a little bit more and I'm just taking those little areas where I need a little bit more coverage all right you guys that's looking pretty good I'm going to take my sponge I'm going to it's still pretty damp make sure it's not damp you guys I mean make sure it's damp and not wet right now it's still pretty wet so I'm just squeezing out the excess water and don't make fun of My Shabby towels this is my mom's towels my mom was a cosmetologist if any of you are new here and I still use her work towels just makes me feel closer to her my mom and I lived together till she passed away and every what you she her last day of working in the beauty salon was Saturdays so every Saturday night we would fold these towels we she'd wash them and we'd fold them and then we would watch Days of Our Lives because my mom was a huge Days of Our Lives F my mom fun fact would never let me watch TV when I was younger my mom and dad uh the only thing I was allowed to watch was the VHS yeah if you're younger than me you obviously don't know what VHS is but if you're my age a little bit younger you know what VHS is she used to record it on the VHS tapes and we would watch that when I got home from gymnastics which was typically at 10:00 at night because I was a competitive gymnast for uh many many many years and I wouldn't get home until like 10:00 at night and I uh my mom would we get in bed cuz I slept between with my mom my parents for a long time we'd get in bed and we would watch J parli that was our thing and that continued till the day she passed away and I was how old was I when my mom passed oh goodness gracious 42 42 oh my gosh I can't think right now anyway I'm 47 I think it was 42 so we watch and I haven't watched I don't even know if the show is still on but I haven't watched a single episode of day of real lives since my mom passed away since June 12th was when she passed away yeah or July sorry haven't watched a single episode of it just that is one show I cannot watch I just watched a Hallmark movie for the first time this year at Christmas that was our other thing Hallmark Christmas movies I mean there's a lot of things we watched together but that was it and my mom and I would fall asleep on the couch even though both of us had our separate bedrooms we fall asleep on the couch head to head on our long couch every night and then she'd send me to bed in the middle of the night but sometimes we would just sleep all the way through she didn't wake up but that was that was it my mom and I spent every second of the day together we just I never went a day without talking talking to my mom not one day not one day even when I didn't live at home and I was working a corporate job outside of the area I lived in she would call me every morning cuz she worked at 400 in the morning at a grocery store and then she did hair on the weekend uh when my parents got a divorce my mom had to take on a second job and uh and then she so she would work at like 4 in the morning at the bakery department in the grocery store and she'd call me CU I wanted to get up early and work out before I went to work and uh she called me every single morning on her way to work and then she'd call me when she got out of work on my lunch break and then she would call me at night or I would call her vice versa one of us would call and then throughout the day for just little stuff we just never not talked never and then she'd save up all her money when I moved to SoCal for a while she'd save up all her money and buy Southwest tickets cuz we lived in Sacramento and I was where I was born and raised and she would save up her money her tip money from the beauty salon and bu uh like the Southwest deals and stuff like that and she' come visit me on the weekends or I would just drive or fly back to Sacramento and we did that for many many years even when I lived in a different area where it was actually drivable not um not far away so anyway that is what the foundation looks like it's so beautiful you guys it's so so pretty I love this Foundation it's really really beautiful I just have to see if it's one like that I'm going to love as much as my Nars I've only worn it a couple times and I got to tell you guys I thought this little sample was not going to go very far and if you want to try it out I recommend doing that and going to Sephora and getting color matched testing it out for a while and then you can order it or go pick it up in store now using my affiliate link for YouTube really really helps me for Sephora so I will show you guys right there you just click on that icon and it'll take you to the Sephora page now even if you're like Christy I don't really want that Foundation but there's other things I need at Sephora no matter what you put in your cart I get credit for so it doesn't matter if you buy this you can buy anything you want uh but this foundation will be right there and you will see the little icon on one of these sides I never know which side it is but anyway this they give you a lot of product in here so if you want to test it out at home and then maybe use my link to order it and yeah either order it and pick it up in store or order it and get it shipped that would be awesome so thank you if you want to do that but Nars Shear glow you guys know is my number one Foundation this is by far even taken over Maybelline skin tent I use this every time I do any type of foundation I only use this sheer glow it is literally the best foundation this survives everything from humidity to tears from a funeral it just literally lasts me like I worn this for for 16 hours and it has never budged and I I just think it's the most fantastic foundation ever made I did pick this up recently on E Cosmetics so I will have the link to that and I have the YouTube EC cosmetic link that I actually personally used myself cuz I ordered two more I like the punon job a lot so I've been using that one just CU I do a lot of self tanning especially during the summer time and I got a really good deal on it like really good deal with the percents off so and they send you a lot of coupons e e Cosmetics but I'd greatly appreciate if you decide to check that out and get that to utilize that link there but anyway this Foundation is really really beautiful I just want to keep wearing it now I have to say I when I wore it all day I asked my significant author I said how does it look cuz he's brutally honest and he said it looked good he said it looked good but it wasn't as good as the way this looks he says this look looks Flawless on my skin even through like a 15-hour 16-hour day he was like wow your makeup looks Flawless and he will he is brutally honest he's like my mom so he didn't say that about this Foundation now he said it looks good but it just he can tell I had a lot of makeup on so that's the only thing where this one just looks like again my skin but better so for me and it just might be my skin type you know for you this may look just as good as this on you so just take my I feel bad even rating products at the end now because I'm like everybody's skin is different and I want you guys to try it out for yourself because you just never know now I would have to say out of all the full cover foundations that I have tried on my channel this is one of the best ones just because I just really love the way it looks the way it applies the fact that you don't even need that much is amazing so definitely something to consider during the Sephora sale I am going to use my hourglass concealer I think she's coming out with a concealer I haven't been on Instagram and I just once in a while will pop open to make sure I don't have any DMS from Brands and I saw just so happen abh had just posted Anastasia Beverly Hills just posted what's coming and it kind of showed something and I was like it said take a guess and I think I even said I think it's a concealer all right Glam fam so editing Christine coming in I was wrong it was a contour stick this is the new smooth blur Contour stick and it retails for $32 and this is going to sculpt and Define for a dewy Second Skin finish it's available in four Shades I did end up picking it up when it was only available on Tik Tok and I wasn't sure between the shade half tone which you see right there or the shade Shadow and I ended up going in with Shadow just because I watched some Tik toks and I was like I think I'm going to be Shadow I think the the lightest one I don't know if that would have showed up on me but so I will have a review out on that soon but just so you guys know I'm sure it'll be available at Sephora soon and the sale is coming up so you can just wait for that but it was a contour stick not a concealer all right back to the video I would imagine if she did the impeccable spray and the foundation a concealer is coming next and she hasn't really delivered anything since the concealer I have a video on that one which is good but I just didn't think it was amazing uh to this date I mean maybe I did when I did that video I can't even remember because it was a while ago so we're just going to put some Hour Glass and this is shade oat you guys know this is This Is My Jam uh let me get my sponge I think I'm going to use this little abh today just because I haven't used this in a long time this is the Italian summer and this is the face Trio I did a full video using both of the shades and this is still around it's still going strong so I thought let's just use it uh today so that is what it's looking like let's check it out with the concealer I think we're going to do a little bronzing up of the skin first let's do some Tom Ford let's do some luxury I never use this one on my channel this is intensity one and this is their kind of bronze Contour type palette where you get a highlighter a cream highlighter and then a cream bronzer or Contour however you want to utilize it this shade is a little little warm for a contour but we are going to kind of just sculpt out the face with it so let's take that on to we're going to use this hourglass brush just because I get the angle to kind of structure out my face but I also it it will blend it out and look kind of bronzed as well so I'm going to start off like that see how it's it's very aggressive so you have to just be mindful of that I did a little too much on that but that's okay we can blend it out Blends out super easy too see how that looked aggressive but it Blends out so nicely all righty now I'm going to take my powder one size you guys know the drill nothing new stands out puff as always I'm just going to take that thank you for letting me know that you guys have been liking my new format this year really really makes me happy that you like doing that I love doing those intros are so much fun for me I love editing editing is like you may ask Christy why don't you edit other people's videos I don't want to edit other people's videos I just like editing my own videos that for me is therapeutic but it's fun to get CU you know yourself you know your your brand who you are and your aesthetic and all that stuff and I just love doing that it's just for me I think being a dance choreographer my whole life a Dancer too it just for it brings out that creative process for me and I just love it I still love like mixing my own songs and stuff like that for my cheer routines I was a cheer captain in high school and I used to love doing that and that back then it was like on the on the cassette players oh my gosh I'm so aging myself goodness gracious let me know in the comments if you guys remember how we used to do mixed tapes for like your boyfriend or something like that and junior high school or high school it was like mixed tapes do or then it turned into mixed CDs and then you put it remember like I I didn't have a car but uh in high school my parents didn't give me a car I don't know they probably couldn't afford it number one and number two they didn't trust me so I wrecked all my parents cars I was just like my brother's car I wrecked it was I was I'm still not the best driver in the world uh yeah anyway that's that's for another video that's a whole another story but anyway um do you remember we used to have those ones that used to pop out you can if you didn't have a good CD player you could put a good sound system in there and used to pop them out is that a northern California thing I don't know I think it's an everywhere thing and then you do the mix CDs and you have it on the visor and that was even through college that was so funny all right I'm going to stop right here get into the Christian Dior bronzer I'll show you guys right there they just launched this I want to say like a few weeks ago and it was highly fragrant so for me it's it's just not my cup of tea and although like with Chanel I can kind of get past it because the formula is so good I didn't feel like this was that amazing so I'll show you guys how it applied before I returned it but this is the Dior forever nude jumbo bronzer I thought it was going to be like the little small guys I'll show you right there which I loved those those were fragrance-free I think Dior makeup has changed a lot they're now putting a lot of coconut oil in their products something's different about that company and I'm not loving it I'm just not I liked the old versions better of everything from Dior that this retails for regularly $64 I used again my $10 reward on it but you get 0”
“6 o and 18 gam of product about $356 per gram so it's not bad for a luxury designer brand it's available in four Shades I did go with that shade 30 which is pretty it was still just too warm for me I like a little bit more neutralness in my bronzer for me personally it just leaned a little orange in my opinion this is described as a heat and humidity resistant formula delivers radiant sun-kissed look it's infused with hyaluronic acid and vitamin C to boost hydration and comfort it's a longwearing pressed powder bronzer that warms the complexion with a sun-kissed matte finish it's more of a radiant finish I would say than a matte finish so it's not going to smooth out your pores or any of that stuff it's not going to look airbrushed on the skin it's just going to look nice and glowy with a semi Demi matte finish you have synthetic floride as the first ingredient and I'll show you guys the rest of the ingredients right there you do see the perfume fragrance middle of the list which means it's potent in there and you can really smell it in that product and I smelled it it lingered for a little while just so you guys know that but it just wasn't my cup of tea but again try it out for yourself you never know all right you guys this is the abh sult Tre I had talked about this and I never did a look with it and I thought you know what let's just utilize it in this video but this little palette I bought last year and it's really pretty it's still available it's a nice neutral everyday color story which I really like I personally love abh formulas but they're not for everybody some people don't like them because they have a lot of Fallout but they're highly pigmented and they blend nicely I I just think alog together they're good palettes so I thought this would be a beautiful color story to utilize I'm wearing pink today because Pink's my favorite color and it's my birthday month so I thought let's just do pink it will make me feel pretty all right uh let's do my because this is more neutral that Tom Ford's a little too I don't know the word I'm trying to look for it's a little too warm for that so I'm going to use my uh Neo nude and you guys know this 21 warm Brown is just my jam let me get my ILO smear just the same W same W we're just going to take that right there so I used the city Beauty lid lifting treatment spoil alert that's going to be part of the giveaway and I have to tell you I hardly have any creasing and I didn't even put any powder on my eyelids can you see that hardly any creasing it's so good I love this stuff so much you guys it is like a holy Grill of mine and even if you don't want to participate in the giveaway I always have uh I'll show you guys how I applied that earlier um and I've talked about it before on my channel I always have a coupon code for you guys and it's just chist deal or if you want to test that out yourself and you don't want to participate in the giveaway but that will be part of the giveaway just so you guys know that I thought I just let you know now because I'm I can't believe how much I have zero creasing on my eyelids what that's pretty freaking insane because I don't usually it'd be all creased up right there I usually use this at night I need to start using this during the daytime because I really like that you're think you're supposed to use it both but to preserve the product I've been doing it that way wow that's really nice you guys really nice okay let's go in with these Shades and then I will get into the bronzer and blush but I'm going to do my eyes first cuz sometimes abh has a lot of Fallout so I just have to be aware of that I think pressing motions are much better with abh I'm going to take this rougher bo3 and we're going to go into that shade right there the third shade in the first row I don't know the names of these I'll put the name right there I'm going to take that because it's better to do more pressing motions which is why I'm going to use this brush so I'm going to take that right there and I'm just going to press that in first I like that this brush you can press and then blend out it's very pigmented it's a very pigmented shade I'm going to do the same thing here sorry you guys I'm trying not to cover up I noticed I did that in the last video so I apologize for that I was asked one time where I get my jewelry from this necklace is from Nordstrom Rack I think it's like $16 love this I got a backup one of it because I love it so much I usually do that with Nordstrom Ro because it will go away forever but I will have the it's my Nordstrom is a affiliate for YouTube so I will have the link right there it's been in my videos just so you guys know that and then this is from Amazon the necklace and that and that's my Mom's necklace so those are the ones I typically wear all the time this ring is from Nordstrom Rack and this is Madewell I love Madewell jewelry as well so this is really really cute it's like a little uh almost like the Tiffany style the teardrop kind of a Twist very very cute I love this ring so anyway I ordered it on nordstroms”
“com so pretty I'm going to use this Sarat one this is their um eyes Shadow brush and we're going to go into grel I like it cuz it's nice and T tapered uh and I'm just using the same powder I used for my Contour you guys know that's just my my holy gril powder but I really have been liking this brush cuz it goes right I like to do this to blend this into the nose Contour you can even use this on the nose but I really love this brush a lot so pretty okay doing a very easy look we're going to take my BK Beauty and this is the a504 brush and I have some dupes to these brushes that I'm going to tackle in a different video from U Alter Ego we're going to take that third shade in the second row the dark brown so as you can tell you see that powder kick up not as bad as the Victoria Beckham one I just did the Victoria Beckham eyeshadow palette just so you guys know if you want to check that video out but was not impressed with the the shades I'm going to press that in first and then we we're going to take that there press bring it in BK beauty or this is the alter ego I should say and let's try this out 205 so this is a lot like the a502 I want to say from BK Beauty I'll show you guys the comparisons right there we're going to take that taupe shade we used in the beginning and I'm going to see how much dust you have there just make sure to do that cuz we just want a light layer and I'm going to go over that now yeah perfect oo this brush is nice it's very soft you have to be careful I've been doing my eyebrows last lately and I've been really liking that lately so I'm sorry about the eyebrows right now but anyway just let you guys know that if you're like Chris you haven't done your eyebrows yet do the order that works for you sometimes I do it first just depends just depends but that is so pretty I forgot how beautiful this palette is super easy too super easy all right we're going to take my rot just going to be a long video I just want to just get through this and I'm recording later in the week so I have to get this out by Sunday so so I'm just using the Sarat perfectionist palette all right we're going to use the alter ego and this is the 202 brush Little Mix of affordability alongside uh let's use this taupe shade right there in the middle again I'll put the name I always put the names right there for you guys I cannot see so we are not even oh that comes out a little bit I don't remember this it comes out a little bit more caramel than I thought okay not as neutral as I had imagined that was going to be but it's still pretty uh remember everybody's undertone is different so it might come out more taupe on your eyes so always uh remember that when I'm doing this or explaining the colors but it's really pretty it's like a rose gold I would say when I'm looking at it in this 10 times mirr on my eye see the fallout Fallout is real with abh but it's beautiful and you get so much pigment even without a finger swipe usually a lot of metallics require the finger first but not with abh you get intensity from the get-go and it just wipes right off so that is really really pretty okay let's use a little bit of this silver down the center actually let's just take the same brush on the opposite side we're going to take that middle shade that one right there on the opposite side of the brush just going to put that one down oh that's so pretty yeah that's the taupin I wanted ooh that is beautiful goodness gracious that shade is pretty all right taking a little bit more of that shade again right down the centa oh my gosh that is so pretty oh I am obsessed what I like about this palette too is you can do a Glam but you can also do a very neutral everyday look cuz you've got those mattes in there you also have warm but you have uh cool tone Shades like the gray right there would have been pretty too but I think we're going to stick to these Shades because we're already here and it's really really pretty okay let's do a little bit of the this number number one shade that shade that beautiful like vanilla e shade oh that's a highl oh that is a sparkle I thought that was a matte sorry that's not a matte that's that's a shimmer we're going to do that in the inner corner and I'm using the Rosen Benn uh I'll put the number brush right there we're going to use my favorite this is very dark dimensional Brown from Makeup Forever the artist pencils you guys know this is my Holy Grail liner now used to be that Sephora on the go let me know in the comments if you remember how much I used to talk about that but they don't have that color anymore so as always I just messed up see this is why I can't talk and do this now let's go in with my refer number 23 and we're going to go into that dark brown trying to look in the monitor to see if I am covering up but that's hard to tell I can't keep this mirror too far away cuz it's a magnifying mirror so if it goes too far away then it distorts the image so trying to keep it far away so that you guys can see what I'm doing all right we're going to go into that transition shade and this is the same brush I always use the what's up Beauty r10 R R1 101 I think just going to pop that there I really love these what's up Beauty brushes are so good let's just use this Wing gos brush and we're going to take my shant Kai powder cuz we forgot to put that on anyway and I'm just going to go right here and just go like that just like that just to clean up those edges and now I'm going to take my cuz I need to anyways take my shantai powder choto brush because that is what's available to me right now although I like my Sarat one a little bit more we're just going to do that you guys know petal is my Holy Grail going to do that before we do the highlighter anyway but very easy all right I am going to pop on my lashes really quick clean things up and then I'll come back and put the bronzer and blush on in just a second so I ended up going in with the Ral Beauty eyelashes and those are in Celeste I got some PR scent from roal beauty if you guys are not familiar with Ral he is a celebrity makeup artist who is best known for Beyonce but also does clients like Kim Kardashian Demi levado and some others but anyway I really like these lashes they're very thin and comfortable to wear this has more of a winged look I did cut them a little bit on the ends cuz they were a bit long on the end and obviously I was shaping them to my eye but really beautiful I'll get more into his makeup line and his Lashes in a different video but I wanted to show you guys because I will be applying that for a short I used the Lily lashes power liner to apply the lashes just so you guys know I didn't use any other lash glue uh because I'm not going to have my lashes on that long I'm pretty much going to wash off this look after I'm done filming I just wanted something that's not going to affect my eyes and this is the only lash glue that doesn't hurt my eyes but it still sticks pretty darn good if I if I do it right and I really like it I do use the Nyx lift and snatch brow pen to and this is in gray black to sometimes also kind of help out with the lip if you want if you're not a liner girl like me and you just want like a little flick or just getting in those little nooks and cray areas that most liners are difficult to get to I Really in affordable way I really like this I use this for my brows I use shade taupe for my brows but I love the gray black for that it really does work so well as an eyeliner as well just so you guys know that and then I did pick up some new Amy June lashes she rebranded her brand and you guys know those are my favorite lashes ever and you can always use my code Christy 15 with those lashes but I'm really excited to put those on in the next video this is a brand new style and I cannot wait to Showcase those but you guys know I love my Eve 3D silk so I picked up some more of those as well she always runs great sales so I just wanted to bring that up really quick I went in with the what'sapp beauty powder just to kind of show you guys briefly but I will talk about more of the shades and go into the swatches I have all of the shades but this is uh their new Wind Dancer powders and this is the shade light these are telk free crueltyfree powders really beautiful but they do have coconut derivatives in them so just so you guys know that I just used it under my eye this is not a powder I can personally use all over my face but it is a very silky beautiful formula so I did want to mention that as well and then I went in with the Anastasia but really pills and again this is the Italian summer face palette and I went in with the bronzer shade only just because I wanted to use a different highlighter and blush but that is such a beautiful bronzer Shade that's probably my perfect bronzer shade what I like about this bronzer versus her regular powdered bronzers although I loved that formula it has coconut it has caic caprylic in it so I could no longer use that bronzer but this particular bronzer in this palette did not have coconut derivatives I thought it was going to be the same formula as her normal which it is it performs like her normal bronzers but this one doesn't have coconut oil and if you like an all-in-one face palette to travel with it's beautiful we'll use the blush and highlighter in a different look I'm thinking about using this for a sunscreen humidity proof type of makeup look that I'm going to do for the summer so I will apply those in a different video but I did want to show you guys what the bronzer look like and I'm using a hakah hoto brush to apply that but so gorgeous and then I went in with my Tom Ford blush you guys know this is like my obsession is this blush formula and this is in the shade shade Sun drunk if I can speak this shade is so beautiful it has more pink undertones than my explicit flush which is more of a peachy pink uh as you guys can see the comparisons right there but I they don't have explicit flush anymore but they do have Sun drunk and I'm obsessed with this shade and formula I'm using the alter ego brush and this is an 102 it's more of an angled brush I like this one to swipe on but I usually like to press my uh blushes in so I like more flat brushes so I'm actually going to use this one instead and this is the what's up Beauty r21 this one is Fluffy but you can also kind of pack it in so I'm using that brush to use the lighter shade and also the darker shape as well but I love this color and I am obsessed with the Tom Ford black blush formula you guys know it's my number one blush formula I know they're expensive but they're good and they don't have any coconut derivatives there's no fragrance in them Tom Ford to me if he keeps it this way puts out the best makeup in luxury brands in my opinion then I went in with uh the highlighter that I picked up I used my points for this always get these on sale this is the Tom Ford solay highlighter and this is the sloway glow highlighter I should say and this is in the shade nude sand this is not a a new product it's just new to me and because I like the blush and the Contour so much I'm like why don't I try I hope he comes out with a bronzer this is my number one highlighter the best highlighter ever made for my skin type it just melts into the skin it gives you that wet glow without accentuating pores or Texture it's a mature skin you can lightly dust that on as you saw from that first Swatch of putting it on or the first brush swipe but it builds into something so beautiful so by the time I put on all my makeup did my setting spray I pop that on again and oh my God I cannot tell you guys how many compliments I get on this freaking highlighter it is so incredibly beautiful save your coins this will I mean this is a pretty penny but my goodness is it gorgeous and it is a silky Ultra radiant gel powder hybrid highlighter but no coconut derivatives and no fragrance which I absolutely absolutely love I am a obsessed with the highlighter and blush it's my by far my number one blush and highlighter all right you guys now I went in with my lips so I started off with this is also going to be in my free giveaway because I have become obsessed with these lip liners these are brand new with City Beauty City lips and these are their new lip liners and these are called their definer liner and they run $22 I have both the Shade Blush and the shade Willow blush is a soft Rose nude that compliments pink tones and lighter lip colors and then you also have willow which is a rich warm tone nude that complement more brown tones and darker lips but I love this even on my light slightly light medium skin tone I am obsessed with Willow and I like that I can kind of Contour the lips with this shade but it also just pulls off so beautifully as you guys can see right there I'll apply blush in a different video but Willow is so pretty and that is going to be part of the giveaway just so you guys know that because what I like about this lip liner is although they're creamy I like that you don't have to sharpen these type of retractable lip liners but a lot of times they're too they slip too much and they tend to feather out and run this one doesn't it sticks almost like a regular pencil would which is why I stick to lip pencils but you still get the creaminess and the Glide which is so amazing for mature skin I really like this lip liner and I really love this shade will so I included that in my fab for OB City beauty that I'm giving away but really like this lip liner I did end up going in with the Anastasia Beverly Hills you guys know these lip velvets are just my ultimate favorite lipstick and they are so smooth and non drying but they stay and they're matte like a a really soft matte feel they blur out the lips which I absolutely love because I have older lips and this is the shade pure Hollywood you guys know I love peachy nude but pure Hollywood is the shade I always use when I wear pink colors or any type of more like Blues like anything with cooler undertones I just love this shade so much and I always use my finger to kind of blur it all out and just smooth it all out blend it all in but really beautiful combination and then I went in with the next free giveaway item and this is the city lips you guys know I love their Plumping lip glosses they retail for $35 and this is in Tokyo kiss my favorite favorite shade out of the whole line and this is a sheer cool toned nude with a gold Hue this has a slight pink undertone to it and it is amazing it gives that Plumping look you're getting a fuller lip without the tingling so you're not going to feel that Ultra tingle like you would with like my polite Society or Too Faced but you are getting a Plumping effect what I love about City lips Plumping lip glosses is it provides that immediate and long-term solution for your lips so if you're a person that wants like that satisfaction of the tingle cuz you just know it's working which I'm guilty of I still love my polite Society so much because it does deliver that but anytime you do those type of severe and doctorly will tell you this those type of um pepper type ingredients or cinnamon anything like that it can dry out your lips over time now I think polite Society is one of the best out of all of them but and Buxom I still love my buxom but this one is not going to give you that tingle so if you want that satisfaction maybe this is not your instant Plumping type of gloss but this is going to deliver more long-term Solutions which I personally also love and what I like about these type of glosses is that you you're getting pigment now there's some sheer ones clear ones but this one delivers so much pigment that you can wear this on its own Tokyo kiss is the most gorgeous gorgeous shade I would say this and honey and bucks and Princess are my three favorite Shades ever made amazing truly amazing you guys can see right there it looks so beautiful on the lips so let's get into this giveaway contest details you guys all right so I will show you guys right there I will be doing a giveaway but this is going to be on my Instagram page so you must be following myself at Christia lore and City Beauty official and then you're going to tag a friend like the post I'm kind of

city beauty product you would like to try and it doesn't have to be the four that I'm including these are just my four favorite products I'm very thankful to City Beauty for giving you guys my birthday present to you which is uh my four favorite products so again it's going to be the city lash serum to grow healthier stronger lashes you guys know I've been using this for quite some time now I've seen a huge difference in my lashes and I am obsessed with this product and then the lid lifting treatment which I have also brought up in other videos and you guys saw like literally had zero creasing and I do like that it's kind of lifting up my eye a little bit and you have to continually use this product and then the Tokyo kiss lip Plumping gloss and then the new liner in Willow so very excited to give you guys it's like a over $200 value that you're getting so that's amazing all right you guys that's it I do want to give a final score to the impeccable Foundation again I will show you guys some outdoor footage on length of wear with this Foundation as you guys can see I took some breaks and had to do some other stuff and this is about 4 hours into wearing this Foundation now and although it looks good here in studio I still don't think it wears as well as my Nars so it's not going to take the place of my Nars Foundation but I again like I said earlier in the video because I already knew the foundation I do think for a full coverage Foundation it's one of my favorites 1”
