Video summary

The video features an enthusiastic review of a curated selection of beauty and hair care products available on Amazon, ranging from makeup essentials to advanced skincare solutions. The presenter begins by showcasing her current lip routine, which includes the NYX Duck Plump lip liner for definition, Revlon Slick Shine lipsticks in various mauve and pink shades for hydration and color, and Kiko Milano 3D Hydra Extreme lip glosses that provide a plumping effect with a spicy sensation. She notes that while Kiko Milano is often compared to Charlotte Tilbury as a budget alternative, it occupies a mid-range price point rather than being strictly drugstore cheap, offering luxury-quality ingredients at a more accessible cost. Moving into hair care, the creator highlights several L'Oreal products that have become staples in her routine, particularly for managing humidity and adding volume. She praises the Elnet hairspray for providing hold without crunchiness and shares tips on using the Boosted Volume Inject Mousse at the roots while drying hair upside down to maximize lift. For color maintenance, she recommends the Faria toner kit from L'Oreal to neutralize brassiness in blonde hair, alongside clarifying shampoos from the Everpure line that clean without stripping natural oils. Additionally, she endorses the Dream Lengths leave-in treatment for repairing damaged hair and a large bottle of conditioner designed to keep hair silky smooth after washing. The discussion then shifts to skincare, where the presenter emphasizes products that deliver significant results without breaking the bank. She is particularly fond of the Nimusen peptide serum, which contains NAD PDRN and fifty peptides to boost collagen production and improve skin texture, as well as their retinol-infused eye cream that addresses crow's feet and fine lines. Other highlighted items include the Haruru Wonder black rice sunscreen for a non-greasy finish, Lumino whitening toothpaste originally developed for astronauts, and an affordable conductive gel alternative for microcurrent devices like the NuFace. Finally, she recommends a specific ointment-style eye cream for overnight hydration, noting its unique ability to lock in moisture without leaving a greasy residue, making it ideal for those with dry skin who struggle with traditional sleeping masks.

Hey there friends. Today is another Amazon haul or an Amazon favorites of mine. I love doing Amazon videos. It is so much fun for me to shop there. Hopefully, it's fun for you to shop there, too. Don't forget, we have a number system. The numbers go through when however many we get through today. The number will come up on the screen and correspond to the product that I'm talking about at that particular moment. and then you can go down into the description box or into the first pin comment and find all of the products that way. Hopefully, they will be very easy for you to find. And I almost forgot about my earrings and my necklace. So, this is a good segue into that. So, the earrings are a pretty gold link that I got. And what's cool about them is they actually have this hinge right here in the middle of them. And they do like it look like a giant link. And we know that link necklaces have been favorites for a long time for everybody. And so today I'm wearing a link heart necklace, which can notoriously be hard for me to get on, but I did that without too much hassle because of my long fingernails. So cute necklace on there. And then the earrings. Also, the fingernails, they will be listed if they're still available. All the makeup that I have on will be listed and linked down below as well, including this lippy. But I'm going to talk to you about the lippy first. So, I've been kind of wearing this lippy on repeat. This is the NYX Duck Plump lip liner. It doesn't plump. It's just a very nice lip liner. And then this one is called Fill Them In. It's a really pretty mauvey pink color. And then I also have been loving these Revlon Slick Shine lipsticks or shine lipsticks, whatever they're called. This color is the color shine. It's a pretty pretty pink that I have on actually with that liner. And then the other color that I have right now is called You know what? That's not called shine. That's I'm such a noob. Okay. Glossed lip rose. This one's called Rose and this one is called Glazed Mauve. So, this is a really pretty mauve as well. Love both of these. I would say that the pink probably has more color in it. It would help if I pulled that up. Okay, there we go. So, I would say that the pink is a little bit brighter. That's kind of a muted mauvey color. Beautiful lipsticks. The saturation of them is really good along with giving you a great balm feeling that doesn't dry out as the day goes on cuz sometimes those can dry out. And then on top of that, I topped it off with the Kiko Milano. This is the 01 color. I don't know exactly what it is, but these are the 3D hydra extreme lip glosses. What I love about these is they're plumping. And when you first get them on, you're going to feel a little spicy. Not too bad, but a little bit spicy. And then you just get that beautiful shine. Gorgeous, gorgeous shine on that one. I love Kiko Milano products. Anyway, I've been talking about them for years. If any of you have been watching Tik Tok lately, you probably saw Nina P and all of her stuff about Charlotte Tilbury v. Kiko Milano as far as an alternative. Yes, we love that that we can get something that's cheaper. However, I would say that Kiko Milano is like mid-range. It's not really very drugstore cheap makeup at all. It's actually really really nice luxury makeup, but it doesn't have that huge huge price tag. This is the Flawless Fusion Bronzer Powder in 08. This is a great bronzer color for me. It's not too warm, but it has enough warmth that it makes me feel like my face is alive. And very nice silky powder. This one um I just got a few days ago and I have been absolutely loving it. So definitely pick that up. And then I also showed this last month. This was a huge hit with you guys. This is a Real Techniques brush set. Why I showed it was because it's a dupe for the Patrick Ta brush. That is his contour brush. So you have a fluffy end and then a fan angled end on this side. You have the same thing on this. I have been loving this. I like this so much more than the Patrick Ta blush simply because it is a little bit more fluffy. It's not quite so dense and on both sides that's the case. I really like it. But you also get besides that for such a fraction of the cost, you're getting an angled cream blush right brush right here that I have been loving. This is so nice for patting on your cream products. Then you also get this dualended foundation and concealer right there. So nice. And then I used these two this morning and I was like, you know what? I bet that little brush right there. And it is. It's just exactly what I thought. Oh, by the way, before we get off on a little tangent here. This one right here is an alternative for the beauty blender sponge, which is awesome. I already have three, so I'm probably going to put this in a giveaway at some point. But what a nice set, right? these two brushes right here. So easy to go along the bottom lash line and line with a fairly precision line. But this one is the hit for me for the day. And the reason is, can you see that little angle on there? Comes to a point. All I did was load this brush up on both of those sides for the liner. By the way, it's super thin. And then I just tapped right there and then flicked that up. And I am telling you, it gave a beautiful little wing. Now, I can't do a liquid wing. You know, my hands shake and I have this weird eye shape anyway, but this is perfect if you have that quitted eye situation where it's kind of turning down over where you used to use your wing. I'm really enjoying this whole entire brush set. If you're wondering why I'm going so quickly, it's because I have to do rapid fire, gals. I just I can't sit here for very long. So, I have to do rapid fire videos, which, you know, a lot of people are really enjoying lately. So, hopefully you're enjoying it, too. I also have been enjoying all kinds of L'Oreal hair products. The Elnet that I brought to you last month, I am in love with in this humidity that I have in Texas. Now, my hair loves this stuff. You get a nice hold on your hair without getting it to be crunchy. I love that. And I like the smell, too. It reminds me of the 80s musk smells that we used to use like Alicia Ash ashley Alyssa Ashley and just beautiful fragrance on that one. I don't mind a fragrance in mine. Although, you know what? This is labeled as unscented. So, unscented, so it is a little bit misleading on that. Also, I've really been enjoying the Boosted L'Oreal Volume Inject Mousse. Um, it says 24-hour body and volume. I don't know if it's 24 hours. Everybody sleeps. Hello. What are we doing? Just put a little bit into my hand. I'll show you how much I use. And I use that right there on the roots, all around the crown of my hair. Do I use it all over? No. But you could use it on your roots all over if you're somebody that likes a lot of volume. And it's going to give you a lot of nice volume. And then I flip my hair upside down and I dry it that way. And it just does the trick. It holds it up. It gives a ton of volume, especially when you do dry that upside down. And then the other tip that you can have is when you're rolling maybe your bangs with round brush or whatever you do, if you have shorter hair, then just hit it with a cold shot and and you're going to have it stay quite a bit longer. I also brought you last month this. If you are a blonde gal and you have brassies in your hair, I need to use it right now because I'm a little bit on the brassy side. But these are great. These last Let me tell you what they are before I tell you how they last. Wow, I'm excited today. Okay, so this is the Faria toner kit from L'Oreal. So, it's a semi-permanent toner and it lasts anywhere from 3 to 5 weeks on your hair and it tones down all the brassies. Now, I have just barely did done my color on my hair, which by the way, if you're wondering, it's the 9 and 1/2A. I believe it's the lightest ash blonde that you can get in the regular preference or the color ree. And so then I'll go back after a week or two and I'll go in with this and it just tones down all the brassies. Now, yes, I still use my purple mask and absolutely love it. Yes, I still use my purple shampoo and love that which I'll make sure that I link below this particular product. But this is actually a color product that you put on your hair kind of like you do when you color it if you color it at home. And if you get it done at the salon, you come home, you're like, "Well, that didn't work out. It was too brassy." You know, a few weeks down the road, you can put this on. Also from L'Oreal, two other products are the clarifying shampoo from Lviv. This has no sulfates, no parabens. This will not strip your hair. You will feel like your hair is squeaky clean and it's got a new life, especially if you have hard water. This is so good. I love the LV line. I'm sorry. I love the Everpure line. See how I am. The other products LV. See how I am. Ever pure line clarifying shampoo. Love this stuff. And then the next one is the L'Oreal LV Dream Lengths No Haircut Leave-In Treatment for severely damaged hair. My hair is longer. I do have a hard time when I've used too many heating products. So, this is just the ticket for helping my hair get longer and stronger. This has a wonderful fragrance as well that will stay in your hair. Just so you know that it is it is not fragrance-free. So that you know that. I always try to tell people that because I know that there are a lot of people that can't tolerate fragrances. But I love that one. All right. Now on to the new sunscreen that I've been using. And I used this years ago. If you've been with me for years, you probably remember me talking about this. Somebody reminded me of this as a try or honor or somebody that does this for a living. I try so many different products. But I am so glad that I found this again. It's the Haruru Haruru Wonder. It's the black rice daily sunscreen. It has SPF of 50 PA++ 4 pluses. Very high protection, non-greasy velvet finish. And it is, but it's hydrating. Your skin's still going to feel plump all day without drying out whatever skin care you had underneath it. I'm back in love with this big time. Looks beautiful under my makeup. and it doesn't have my other skin care that I use pilling. I love that stuff. It's so good. Also, I want to tell you that yes, I am still absolutely absolutely in love with the Nimusen line. I talk about this almost every single Amazon video I do because I am convinced that this is making a huge change in my skin and it's not that much money. This is the Nimusen number nine peptide serum. This has NAD PDRN and it's called a boosting toner and it has 50 peptides in it. 50 peptides in it. All of the peptides that you might need for to help build that collagen. And because it's such a thin product and because of the way that it's produced, it penetrates my skin. This is a fabulous moisturizing essence with just sinking into your skin, not sitting on the top of your skin. and holding all the other ingredients in. But NAD is what goes in and signals our cells to turn over and grow. Also, PDRN, it mimics what our skin's barrier is. This is just an all-around fantastic product along with the Nimusen number three. Yes, I still like the Benton fermentation essence. I love that stuff. But this is a big bottle of the super glowing essence toner with Bifida ferment filtrate and nyinomide. Biffida and Nyinomite they are super brighteners. Bifida also works on wrinkles and dark spots and all the things texture all the things. So these two they are not that much money to begin with but then you get these huge bottles of them and boy these have been a beautiful addition to my skincare routine. Talk so much also about my eye cream that I love but I know that it's a little bit more expensive than a lot of you can afford. So, Nimusen also has their eye cream that is the 50 peptides. It has retinol in it. It has the PDRN in it and the NAD. This is um wonderful eye cream, the number nine NAD retinol volumetox eye cream. I cannot tell you how beautiful this is. I actually use this on top of my dermatology eye cream. I use a very small amount and this is super hydrating for that delicate area around the eyes. So good. And because it has the retinol in it and all of those peptides, it's going to make a change in the crow's feet, the crepiness, all of the things. It's a great product. I wanted to tell you this because I wanted to report back after I did a whole tube. And here it is. That's an empty tube of the Lumino 10% nano hydroxy peptate performance whitening tooth toothpaste. This was actually given to the astronauts to help protect their enamel and build it back. And this does the trick. My teeth are white and they are loving this product. Plus, you get super fresh breath from it. It is so good. I love all of Lumino's products, but their whitening strips and this toothpaste have been a savior for me. And getting ready to order another tube cuz this one's down to the nub. And I am so happy to report that this is a lovely toothpaste. Absolutely no sensitivity. And I am loving what I'm seeing it do for my teeth. Oh, let's talk one more L'Oreal product. I was so happy when L'Oreal brought this product out. And I don't have the little one. You know, when you get the box dye, you get that little thing of conditioner. Well, this is a big one of it. This is the Faria one, but they also have the color ree one and the other one. I can't remember what it's called. I was so happy they sent me this and I wasn't even expecting it. They sent me it with the other two. This is so great. I love this. If you want your hair to feel silky smooth after you wash and condition and get out of the shower, this is the ticket for helping to achieve that silky, beautiful hair. It makes your hair feel so soft, you are not even going to believe it. And it does help hold that moisture and that's why we use conditioner is to hold in the moisture into our hair and detangle. And this checks off all those boxes. So love that one. Also always want to remind you that the two retinoid products, retinaldahhide products that I use are from Ntorium Ntorium and I use the 0.15 and I also use the prequel.20. These are pretty much the strongest on the market unless you want to go through medicate which does have one that's stronger but it's really really expensive. So I stick with these. I continue to see beautiful turnover with my skin. These both have a little bit of a tinge to them. This one has a yellow one and the prequel one, the Ntorium has a yellow one. The prequel one has a little bit more of a orangey yellow. So that is that vitamin A that you're looking at right there. And that is the product that helps our skin stay youthful. So, if you're somebody like me that can't use the actual prescription of the trenin, then this is the product that you want to go ahead and find and use. And I will make sure that I link both of these for you. Also, about skin care is this indulge me. I've talked about this forever. This is for your new face. This is for your zip product. Whatever you use as a microcurrent device. This is the gel product that actually conducts that microcurrent into your skin. But this has all kinds of really good ingredients in it. Something like 40, I'm sorry, something like 20 ingredients in it. Hydrates, firms, moisturizes. This is such a good one. I don't ever have to wipe this off after I've done my treatments with my Zipper, my new face. And then I can just go right in with my other skin care because this is just a great addition to it. And it is completely water-based. Wonderful, wonderful primer. So, if you've been using the Zip or the New Face, either one of their conductive gels, this is a fraction of the cost. you get a ton more and it's also way loaded with all kinds of skinloving ingredients in it. And lastly, I just want to share one more time my suko yaka suada for all of my gals that go to sleep with their skin care. Their face feels dewy and it feels hydrated and you wake up and you feel like you're a you're just a dry Sahara desert. This is what I put on my eyes every night before I go to bed to hold in all of the moisture that I have put on there because there is nothing that I've ever tried that can do this. This does have ura in it which also has a little bit of a property of exfoliation which is lovely around our eyes because how many products can you say you can get up around your eyes and they actually can exfoliate? There aren't many. This is a great moisturizing hold it in. It's kind of along the lines of an ointment without giving the greasy feel. So, if you're somebody that thinks Aquafor is the answer, but you hate that you hate that feeling of grease on your skin, this one is a sticky feeling. I'm not going to say that it, you know, dries down. It looks great under makeup. Don't use this under makeup. You won't like it unless you have super uber dry skin. Lovely, lovely last step in my skincare routine. And you will love it if you're a dry skin person, especially using it on your eyes at night. It's perfect. That's it for today's roundup for the Amazon video. I hope that you did enjoy seeing that. So many beautiful products here for beauty reminders and new stuff as well. I'm going to stick up another video for you all about Amazon on the screen. Probably one that I did during Prime Days because I did a lot of home in at Prime Days and I love all of those products, but this was all about beauty. So, we're going to do that. So, thank you for sitting with me for a few minutes. I hope that you do come back around and see me in my next video and I love you very much. Bye-bye, friends.
