Video summary
The video features a beauty influencer sharing her honest first impressions of various new PR products sent by brands that often overlook mature creators like herself at age 58. She begins with skincare highlights, expressing particular excitement for Masama's CXO exosome serum, which she praises for its stable Vitamin C delivery system and gentle technology compared to traditional unstable formulations. She also discusses the brand's innovative face mask that adheres well even around the chin area and their red light therapy glove, emphasizing how essential such treatments are for her aging skin routine. Additionally, she reviews Yota pads containing AHA, BHA, and PHA acids alongside vegan PDRN kimchi exosomes essence, noting how these products have deepened into her skincare regimen by addressing multiple layers of the skin rather than just sitting on top.
Moving to chemical exfoliation, the influencer shares her experience with Dermatology's facial RX daily peel pads powered by a four-times smart acid system. She describes them as highly effective at cleaning pores and refining texture without causing irritation or scratching sensations like some other products might. Unlike Yota pads which leave no tingling sensation, these peels provide a noticeable tingle that signals active exfoliation of the roughly twenty-plus layers of dead skin cells on her face. While she currently uses them two to three times a week rather than daily due to this intensity, she finds the results transformative for maintaining smooth and radiant mature skin.
The discussion then shifts to makeup collections from Essence, Morphe, Rare Beauty, Ellis Brooklyn, Ravi Beauty, Equal, Freckle Beauty, Ilia, and L'Oreal Paris. She showcases several new palettes including matte options from Morphe that she has been eagerly requesting, as well as colorful three-pan sets with unique shades like purple chrome and deep copper browns. From Rare Beauty, she is thrilled to receive a full kit containing foundation, blush, mascara, and more, noting the long-wearing quality of their products despite her initial hesitation about certain colors. She also highlights Ellis Brooklyn's guava granita fragrance for its beachy scent perfect for summer hair care, Ravi Beauty's baked blushes that double as brightening powders under eyes, and Ilia's super serum skin tint which offers surprising coverage with SPF 40 protection—a rare combination in tints.
Finally, she touches on Freckle Beauty's setting spray primer combo, noting its gripping texture while suggesting a reformulation to reduce the excessive mist output of their sprays. She concludes with L'Oreal Paris's Elnet hairspray, a nostalgic throwback that provides strong hold without leaving hair feeling crunchy in humid conditions. Throughout the video, she maintains an enthusiastic tone about testing these diverse products and promises future updates on how they perform specifically for mature skin over time. Her gratitude extends to all brands involved, especially those who recognize her demographic and continue investing in high-quality formulations suitable for aging complexions.

Hello. Hello, darling friends. I'm so
glad that you're here with me today. As
the title said, I cannot believe that
these companies sent me PR. It actually
really does shock me when I get PR
because I don't get a lot. I get some,
but I don't get a lot. And I just
appreciate these companies so very much.
They're so generous and they're so kind.
And I want to give them a special shout
out. No, this video is not sponsored by
any of them, but how nice it is to
acknowledge a more mature YouTuber or a
more mature social media beauty
influencer because we just get
overlooked a lot. And so, I want to make
sure that I do that and let you guys
know. And this is some of the hottest
new makeup on the market, which is also
really fun. So, I'm not going to take a
lot of time with each individual
product, mostly because I haven't had a
ton of time to test this, although some
of them I have, but I want to make sure
that I talk about it. I'll have a number
system one through many we get through.
Go down into the description box. The
number that comes up on the screen is by
the product in any color I may talk
about with the link if you want to shop
that way. Also in the first pinned
comment for you so that you can find
those. Let's talk about a couple of
really, really exciting skin care
products that I got sent. Now, this one
is not inexpensive. This is Masama's CXO
serum, exosome serum, and this is
amazing. So, I want you to not take my
word for this one because I just got
this, but the technology behind it is
fantastic. Vitamin C is normally very
unstable. So, we get it. we need to use
it up quickly. It will lose its
efficacy. It will change. It will spoil
really quickly. This doesn't because of
the technology in it. And not only that,
the delivery system is so gentle on your
skin. I am so blown away by how
beautiful this is. Really excited about
it. And I love Mama. Anyway, if you
haven't heard, they have a new face mask
that completely hugs your face and holds
on to your face, including this chin
part right here, which I am absolutely
in love with. And they also sent me
their glove for hands, which I guys, as
far as I'm concerned, Red Light Therapy
is one of those ones that for me at 58
years old is a must. So, I'll make sure
I list that below this so that you can
see. I'm in like the going on the second
month of testing that Mac mask and it's
beautiful. It's absolutely beautiful.
Gamechanging as far as I'm concerned.
And when they come out with a product
like this vitamin C, same thing. I feel
like it's game changers. Yo, remember I
talk about the Yota pads that make your
face feel so soft and supple and they
exfoliate well. They make that your face
feel amazing. AHA, BHA, PHA, all the
A's. And it's just so good for your
skin. It really literally changed how I
did my skin care because I felt like
this is so soft and so supple that there
were things that I didn't need anymore,
i.e. some hyaluronic acids cuz they were
drying me out and I didn't know. But
anyway, I digress. From Yapota, the skin
effect boosting spicules and vegan PDRN
kimchi exosomes essence. So, what this
is supposed to do is it's supposed to be
your first step and then you go in and
your other skin care is supposed to
reach deeper. Now, I am still in the
process of trying this. You can tell I'm
not very far down. So, I'm not going to
say yes or no, but I do want you to go
look at the technology behind this and
what they're trying to achieve, which is
pretty fantastic. You know, we have so
many layers of skin and lots of times
things just sit on the top. Well, this
actually is going down deeper. So, I'm
excited about this. I think it's great.
I It's one that I definitely would say
go for it. Also, Dermatology came out
with their facial peel pads. This is
facial RX daily peel pads. Smooth
radiant skin powered by four times smart
acid system. Multi-Aid pads that
resurface, refine, and restore radiance
while supporting a healthy skin barrier.
Swipe to dissolve buildup, smooth
texture, and reveal clarity and glow.
Guess what? These will clean your pores
like no other. They are also an
exfoliant. They don't have a, you know,
a scratchy part on them at all. These
are beautiful. And I can tell that these
work on a different level than what I
was just talking about about the Yapota
and had all of the acids in it. This
makes my skin tingle and the Yapota pads
don't. So, this is a little bit deeper
of that exfoliation. We have something
like 20 plus layers of skin on dead skin
on our face and we need to slough. We
need to slough all the time. So, got a
hair. So, we definitely need something
like this. These are juicy. They're big
enough that you could cut them in half
if you wanted to. But yeah, I'm loving
this. I can feel the tingle. And in the
next few days after I don't use these
every day, by the way. I use these maybe
two to three times a week right now. But
I can tell that my skin is sloughing off
and I can feel that tingle and that's a
good thing as far as I'm concerned. So
excited about that one as well. [snorts]
And then we'll get into a little bit of
makeup. I'm so excited about this. This
is from Essence. Look at how cute this
is. Okay, let me open it. Okay, so this
is their summertime fun that they have.
Where did my glasses go? There they are.
So, I was so excited when I got this.
And I have already gotten this one right
here, which is the radiant light
palette, and it's the lighter one. Then
you have this one. It's a deeper one.
You have one that's upside down in here.
I I did that cuz it wasn't in here when
it came. It was floating around when it
came. So, this one is the Sunub Matte
Bronzing Palette. So pretty. These are
so pretty. This one is a kabuki buffer
brush. This one is the glow like
[clears throat] hydrating serum spray.
Glow like honey. And then this one is
the glow like honey dewy primer balm of
sunshine face and body glow balm. And
same on this one just a little bit
darker. So let's just dive into these a
little bit. This one you have to shake.
So obviously that does have a little bit
of some sort of an oil in there. But I
am somebody that loves these. Now that
just spit so it's not gonna be great.
You put it on put it on your sponge
first and then dab it across your face
if you want that glow, but I was
thinking this would be pretty for the
body. Now, does have a strong fragrance
and it's supposed to be smelling like
honey. Um, doesn't smell too much like
honey, but anyway, you get the point.
And then this one is the color 20 on
that glow product. Let's see what that's
going to do. Oh, this is just a very
balmy product. It's not got any color in
it really. It's just going to give you
kind of a balm as far as Yeah, I don't
know about that product for real, but
we'll kind of see what we can get here.
Yeah, it's just it's just a balmy
product. Um, and then the other one is a
one and that one I would say would be
Nope, that's just a balm, too. See,
there's no color in them. So, let me
show you. Look right here on the tips of
my fingers right here. I can't even do
that. So, here's the darker one. Here's
the lighter one. They are just balms.
They are not any color hardly at all. I
guess if you got it on pretty thick, but
still, I don't know about the texture of
that. I was really curious about these
palettes right here and whether or not
they're like the Hourglass ones. I'll
make sure I report back to you on that.
So, that was all kinds of fun. And then
I was over the moon. I am so excited
about this friends. This is from Morphe.
They came out with their new collection
of their palettes. So, they have three
new six pan palettes. But what is really
cool about the six pan palettes? They're
all matte. And haven't people been
screaming, give us more all matte
palettes? Yeah, people have been
screaming for it. And then they came out
with their little three pan palettes.
So, I'm going to show you all of those
and tell you what they are. and cool
packaging. It did have a brush right
here. Dualsided eye eye shadow brush,
but I'm not exactly sure where it went.
I know it's probably in my makeup
somewhere. So, love these. They're so
pretty. So, here's the little three pen
ones. This first one is called Tulle
Order. And just beautiful. Look at that
pinky. Oh, that pink is pretty. Oh my
goodness, that pink is pretty. So
pretty. That is the topper. And it's got
a little shift of pink in there.
beautiful cool tone brown. Wow, that's
pretty. That's pretty. It's kind of a
midtone brown. So, I'm dipping my finger
in here and it's they're so buttery. And
then this one is the pink that's in
there. I'm definitely This is probably
Okay, I'll probably say that about a ton
of them. This is a beautiful one. One
and done shadow. Then this one is Jewel
Intentions.
And that one, oh my goodness. So, you
have like a purpley brown in there. And
then you have this beautiful purple
chrome right there. Oh man. And then you
have this light colored white. The I bet
that white or it's actually kind of a
light pink. I bet if you put that down
and then you put the purple on top of
it, it would be so pretty. Yep. So
beautiful. You could even put that
purple on top of that brown and get a
different look to it. Yep. They are so
gorgeous. Oh my gosh. Next one is Dream
Sequins. Oh, this one. Okay, so
personally, I probably wouldn't wear
this copper, but it's got a pink shift
in it. It's quite pretty, actually. Very
pretty. But for me, I probably wouldn't
wear that one. And this is more of an
orangey peach color. Now, that one,
believe it or not, when I mess up on my
eyeshadow, I'm going to reach for a
peach like this every time because it's
going to correct everything that I just
messed up on. And then I do like that
color. That is the just the shimmer on
there. Very pretty on that one. And then
this one is called Jean Spirited. And we
will find out. Woo. And then that has a
copper in it. A deep copper brown. Oh my
gosh, that's beautiful. Oh man, how many
people wish that they Oh, that is so
gorgeous. You know, sometimes I just
want to just play and pretend like I
don't have an undertone. So, this is
pretty. That's a beautiful grayish blue.
That's beautiful. And then just a plain
white color
on there to play with. Both of those.
You can mix them and make them lighter.
Very pretty. Last one of the three pans
is cut to the lace. And that one, all
these little things are going
everywhere. So, it's got a pretty mauve
in there. It's got like a shifting uh
that doesn't have green in
[clears throat] it, but it does have a
shifting like red in it. And then just a
plain beige in it. So, those are all Oh,
that's more of a pinkish beige. Okay,
that's pretty. Those are all really
pretty. And then I'm not going to swatch
all these because they're all mattes.
So, that you know, this six pen one is
tailored nudes. Beautiful. This is a
little bit warmer than I would use, but
it does have this color right here,
which is a beautiful brown in there.
Deepened brown. And that's a medium um
kind of almost a neutral brown. A little
bit warmer than I would wear. This is
mauve mode on it right here. Beautiful.
Now, this is to me this is cool tone
except for this one might lean a little
bit Nope, it doesn't. I was going to say
it might lean a little bit warm, but it
doesn't. It's very neutral on that one.
So, these are all mattes. They're so
pretty. And then the last one is under
slated. So, these are going to be your
slated color. Slate colors. Slated slate
colors on there. Um, I would say that
the only one you have in here is like
this one right here that would maybe
lean more on the lines of being warm,
but so pretty on that. Okay, those are
all gorgeous. Thank you, Morphe. Oh my
gosh. Here's one that I was shocked.
absolutely shocked that I got I couldn't
believe it. I still can't believe it.
Rare Beauty. I I'm so blown away that I
actually got. I love Rare Beauty because
even though they're sold in Sephora and
it's a higherend brand, they really
truly do try to keep their prices lower.
This comes with a foundation, a beauty
blender, a red blush, the brow laminate,
which is kind of a softer brow laminate.
It's not sticky and crusty. The mascara,
which I absolutely love, and then a
liquid lip. Now, I don't wear liquid
lip, but I probably will try this one,
just so you know. I was so excited about
this, and I don't know if I'd ever use
this like reddish color right here.
Maybe I will, maybe I won't. I don't
know. But I'm excited to continue to try
this one. I did try this foundation one
day. Was having a really bad day. It was
on that last video when I was sharing
all of my troubles as far as my back. I
think that I messed up in the way that I
did my skin care that day. Anyway, long
story short, I'm going to keep trying
this because it feels like a really
longwearing one, but we'll see how it
does on mature skin. So, thank you Rare
Beauty for that. I was so thankful.
Also, I absolutely love Ellis Brooklyn.
It's one of my favorite companies for
perfumes anyway. And this guava granita
right here, I already purchased my own,
the biggest one I could. I love this
fragrance. It is the quintessential
smell like margaritas pani coladas on
the beach. This is absolutely beautiful.
I spray it in my hair every single time
I wash my hair. This is going to be
sprayed in my hair. I love it. Now we
have the dry shampoo from AMA or AMA,
whichever you want to say. It's just so
much fun. I could not believe they sent
me this. I am so grateful to them. And
if you want the perfect summer
fragrance, you have to try this. It is
so good. It is one of the best
fragrances ever. Ravi Beauty is a
company that continues to send me things
and obviously I was in their campaign
for when they released her dream cream
which is phenomenal. So good, full of
nano peptides and just all kinds of good
ingredients and especially lays so
pretty underneath makeup. But she also
sent me her blush collection which I
love. But they just released a couple of
new ones which I got one of them and
this is called Heaven. This is the most
beautiful baked blush. Um, it is it's
just a gorgeous blush on anybody, but
and they have so many colors. They have
I have four of their colors. But what I
love about this pink one is it's hard to
get a light enough blush on a very light
person. And this could also be used as a
brightening powder. I thought it would
be really pretty actually as a
brightening powder. So, if you just took
it and you kind of went up underneath
your eyes a little bit, not too much,
just a tiny bit, but I think it would be
a beautiful brightening accent to
anybody's complexion. So, yeah, these
are phenomenal. Very high quality. Love
Robbie Beauty, not only because they are
my fellow Utons, but also because
they're just a great company and they
are just full of love and kindness as a
couple. If you knew if you knew these
two, you would support everything they
did because they're just that great. So,
thank you, Ravi Beauty. You are
phenomenal. Equal came out with their
new lip balms. They were generous enough
to send me this and it's a plumping lip
balm with a sunscreen in it, which I
think is huge. I think we don't think
about our lips that much, but you know
when my mother used to go out in the sun
and she used to sunbathe and my mean my
mother baked. She did 1 hour on each
side of her. That's how much my mother
baked. But this she would get but she
would get terrible cold sores. Um and
yeah, that's part of the reason. But
this protects our lips and not just our
face. You know, we do put some
sunscreen. I do anyway put sunscreen all
over my lips when I do it. But this is
going to help you to keep applying
sunscreen for your lips throughout the
day. And it is a nice plumper, kind of
like a cooling effect, not really
irritating or anything like that. So,
this is a good one. Freck Beauty, I
don't know if you know that company or
not, but they're the ones that came out
with to put freckles on your face. I
don't want freckles. I'm 58. I had
freckles so bad when I was a kid. So,
they do have other products though that
I'm learning about. The face hack, that
one is their setting spray. And then
they have rich glitch with a B. Um, it
is their primer. I have tried their
primer. I do like it. It's kind of a
sticky, not sticky, grippy primer. And
it is not super filling of pores. And
that's kind of what I look for when I'm
looking for a primer. But I did like the
way that it gripped my makeup, my
foundation. Now, the spray itself, I'm
this the jury is still out. That kind of
spits. It's got too much of a spritz.
So, I like the product. It sets well,
but it's just got too much coming out at
once. So, spray onto a sponge, spray
onto a brush, and then, you know, pat
your face with it a little bit. So,
thank you to Fresh Beauty and like the
product. Just wish that this was a
little reformulated. And then, Ilia, I
was really surprised at this. This is a
really great skin tint. Let me just tell
you, it's super serum skin tint with an
SPF of 40. And what I am surprised about
this is that how pigmented it is for a
tint. Normally when we get tints that
they don't give you any coverage or
anything. This one will give you some
coverage. I'm actually covering up some
dark spots right there on my hand. I do
like this very much. I think it's going
to give you some evening out of tone.
Not a lot of coverage, but you
definitely are able to get that SPF,
which is very, very important. And then
you get the skin loving ingredients. So,
I'm going to report back to you on all
of these and let you know. Lastly is
something I have to crack up about. This
is from L'Oreal. Elnet. Do you remember
this? This is what they used as
professionals for everybody's hair when
you were at the salon. Elnet was the
thing. And it's still a great hairspray.
It's actually unscented and it's extra
strong hold. But I do have it right now.
It's holding up pretty good because it's
really humid here and my curls fall out
really easy. But as I spray it on my
hair, I don't get a super crunchy
feeling like Aquinet or anything. So, I
had to kind of laugh when I saw it. I
was like, what a throwback. It has that
same scent that it always did. But, it's
really quite a good product. So, I'm
excited to continue to use this one as
well. That's it. That's the last one
that I have to share with you of the PR
that I got. I hope that you did enjoy
seeing these today. I'm excited about
all of them and can't wait to continue
to try them and let you guys know down
the road. Enjoy your week or weekend
wherever this video hits you. I'm going
to put up another video right here. It
will be a drugstore video so you can go
see some fun drugstore makeup. Hopefully
one that I just did recently for you.
Thanks so much for all your support, all
your love, all your kindness. I'm giving
it right back to you. I appreciate you
and I hope I see you in my very next
video. Love you much. Bye-bye, friends.
