Okay, we need to talk about the products that I have been obsessed with lately that are not
makeup or handbags. These are the skincare, hair care, fragrance, fashion, and lifestyle pieces
that somehow made their way into my routine and stayed. Not because they are new, not because they
are trending, but because I keep reaching for them versus all of the other products that I could be
using. And honestly, some of these really surprised me. So let's get into my non-makeup and handbag
favorites, the ones that really stuck. Okay, and let's kick things off with my skincare favorites
for this video. I do share some skincare favorites in my monthly favorites videos, but the truth is,
friends, I don't often have that many new skincare favorites to share with you because I'm very picky
about the skincare that I use. I get products sent to me literally all the time. I'm only able to
test out so much and there's only so many products that actually make their way into my routine. I
like to test products out for minimum a couple of weeks or preferably a couple of months before I
talk about them on my channel. And when I'm using something, I like to use it up all the way before
I bring something else into my routine. So I'll just start off by saying that. So these are really
the products that have really, really impressed me. The first couple are from, I would say, a brand
that I've really gotten into this year. It's called You Beauty. I know a lot of you guys like this
brand. I know I'm kind of like late to this brand. They are now sold at Sephora, which is
really good. You can shop at Sephora for them. There are three products that I have really enjoyed
from this brand and they're all focused around hydration because one of my main skin concerns
is dry skin. And there's something about their hydration products that are so potent and effective.
The Super Hydrator Moisturizer is an absolute favorite of mine. It has kind of like a runny
consistency. It looks like it's going to be more of like a serum. But once you spread it on your
face, you realize how hydrating this actually is. It has a very unique texture. It's not a gel. It's
not a serum. It's not a thick cream. It's kind of all of those things in one where it feels intensely
hydrating, but still relatively lightweight under the skin. I talked about this product, I believe,
in my complexion masterclass video because I love to use this under makeup to help my skin stay
hydrated all day and also just to provide kind of a nice, again, like hydrated but lightweight base
for makeup. I love this stuff. I also really love their Barrier Mist. This has got to be one of the
most like hydrating mists I have ever used. In fact, I just sprayed my face with it right before
filming this video. It gives you the most gorgeous dewy finish that isn't greasy, has a lot of great
ingredients to not only hydrate the skin, but also protect your skin barrier. That's why it's
called the Barrier Mist. I like to use this sometimes right before I go in with makeup to
refresh my skin just as like a finisher to my skincare routine to add a little bit of extra glow.
I really like this to refresh my makeup throughout the day. It is hands down my favorite facial mist.
I love this stuff and it also comes in a mini size that I like to take with me when I go on the
airplane. So don't sleep on the mini size. That one is really good for your purse or travel bag.
The other product that I like from them is the Lip Plasma and Plasma is a really good name for
this because it has this unique occlusive gooey but not sticky texture that is just so nourishing
to the lips but also makes the lips look super hydrated and perfected. I love to use this
sometimes when I go to bed at night or just throughout the day. I'll pop it on my lips when
I'm you know kind of prepping them for maybe a lipstick at the end of my makeup routine or this
is just something you can carry around with you in your handbag. Definitely one of the best lip
treatments that I have ever tried and I really love just how glossy and juicy and perfected
it makes the skin. I do prefer the clear version to the tinted ones. I tried a tinted one maybe
like a year or two ago and I liked the formula but there was something about the tinted version
that I just didn't care for. I think I very much prefer this product as just a clear treatment and
then I can layer other lipsticks on top. I do have a code to the YouBeauty website. I'm just going to
put it up here on the screen and I actually have a lot of codes for many of the products in this
video so instead of saying it over and over again I'm just going to be popping them on the screen.
I also am going to have all these products and the codes or any like shades or variations or
whatever that I mentioned throughout the video. I'm going to have all of that listed and linked
in the description box down below. Those are affiliate links so thank you guys for supporting
my channel by shopping through my links and also you can scan this QR code for the shopping guide
and all the codes if you are watching me from your living room. The Sweet Under Eye Gel Patches.
These came recommended to me by many members of my community so thank you guys so much for telling
me these were good. Am I surprised? No. Everything that I have tried from Sweet Beauty is really
really good. I'm wearing a lot of the makeup on my face today in fact. These are the best under eye
patches that I have ever tried and I've tried some really expensive ones out there. These are
definitely the best and also the most economical. These are so cooling. They de-puff my eyes.
They relax my eyes. They flood that under eye area with hydration and not to mention they actually
stay on the face. I feel like so many of these under eye patches they like don't stay on my face.
I'm trying to multitask here okay. I'm trying to multitask and do things maybe even just relax a
little bit with my under eye patches and I love that these stay put. They're definitely the best
that I've ever tried. I know I've talked about them like once or twice here on my channel but
these have been a recent find for me I believe since the beginning of this year. Thanks to those
of you in my community who told me they are good. So if you're looking for some under eye patches
these are definitely top shelf. Kind of a similar product category but more so for the face. I have
really been enjoying these toner pads from Glow Recipe. Have you guys tried these before?
They're relatively new. I've been testing these out for maybe like two months or so since they
released. They have three different kinds. They have one that is vitamin c focused one that is
focused on like exfoliating and brightening the face and then the ones that I have been using
are the PDRN Repair and Soothe Korean Toner Pads. I like these because again I'm all about hydration
soothing calming because those are most of my skin concerns. I am loving the concept of these.
They're basically a tub full of PDRN serum that's meant to you know soothe and repair the skin and
then you have these little like delicate gauzy toner pads inside that are just soaking up all
of that delicious serum and you do get quite a bit in that tub by the way. You also get these
cute little like tweezer things that you can use to pull out the toner pads and so you can
use the little toner pad to swipe the serum all over your face. That's what I often do or if I
have a little bit more time what you can also do with the little pads is you can place them on your
face almost like a little mini mask. So for me I have a lot of my redness and irritation here on
the tops of my cheeks so I will place the little pads right on the tops of my cheeks and then I
kind of just let them sit there while I I don't know brush my teeth like do some other chore. I
basically just let them hang out on my face and they do such a great job of like soothing,
moisturizing, reducing redness. I love this product. I haven't tried the other two because
again like I'm really methodical and careful about what I bring into my routine but these I have
really been loving and I know that this category of product it's becoming more popular now in like
you know for western brands. I'm sure there's so many other K-beauty brands that do this so please
comment down below if there's any good ones that I should try next. I'm seeing them pop up at Sephora
now and some of them have started to send me their product but so far I've tried these Glow Recipe
ones and I I just love the concept and I think that they work really well. Okay so I know that
I already talked about the Lip Plasma from YouBeauty but I do have one more like lip balm
product that I want to talk about in this video. It is the Lip Mask from One Skin. I've mentioned
this in a monthly favorites before. This is one of the best lip masks that I have ever used. I've
really been enjoying it over the past couple of months. It is so thick and occlusive. The Lip
Plasma from YouBeauty that is something that looks very glossy on the lips. It's something that I
think you could just wear on its own and it kind of looks like a nice lip gloss but is also a lip
treatment. The YouBeauty Lip Mask is more of like an overnight mask or something that you could use
to prep your lips before going in with maybe like a matte lipstick or if your lips are like super
cracked and you need something that's really gonna heal your lips this is what I would go in with.
It's really just kind of like your personal preference and what you're looking for. You will
feel the lip mask on your lips when you wake up in the morning. It is so fantastic. It comes in a
little pot and it also comes with a cute little metal spatula. A little like mini spatula and you
can just kind of like boop boop boop boop and like spread it across your lips. Does a good job of not
diluting the product on you know the tip of your finger or kind of like wasting the product. Plus
it's just super bougie and luxurious to put your lip mask on like that before you go to bed.
You knew this was going to be in here. The Iota Body Products. Chef's kiss. I have fallen head
over heels for these body products starting with their Mochi Body Exfoliator. This is the best
body exfoliator body scrub I should say that I have ever tried and don't get me wrong I still
love my soft services buffing bars. I feel like those are really good for keratosis pilaris.
They're really good for any particularly rough areas like knees and elbows feet ingrown hairs
but the Mochi Body Exfoliator from Iota this is the perfect lazy girl's all over body softener.
When I first got this I was a little bit like man not so sure about this because it's not super
gritty. It's like jiggly. It's like a gel. There are some granules in there but it's not a very
gritty product so I was like what is this even doing but I went with it okay. I went with it.
I was like working it into the body and all that good stuff. I get out of the shower and my skin
it is baby soft. You don't even have to really like do much work you just spread it all over
the body leave it on for a couple minutes you know try and like lather it on decently and you
will come out as smooth as a baby. You're gonna have baby soft skin. I love this stuff. I love it
so much that I then tested out some of their other body products. So the other one that I've been
using is the Super Cloud Body Serum. This is a very lightweight moisturizer that you can apply
after you get out of the shower but what's really nice about this is that it does have ingredients
to brighten and kind of gently exfoliate the skin over time. So I will use the in shower product
maybe like once a week to do that exfoliation but then I use this on a daily basis just to kind of
you know for upkeep for maintenance and it just does a really nice job of keeping my skin smooth
especially because like I don't know my legs especially they are not even. I've gotten so many
bug bites or little scratches and all this kind of stuff. I like these types of products to really
smooth out and even the tone of my legs. Not to mention this is a kind of serumy gel formula so
it's super duper lightweight for the spring and summer. If you're in a hotter or more humid
environment this would be a really great product to use instead of like a really heavy body cream
for example. The other product that I then will apply on top if I really want to glow is the
Diamond Truffle Contour Body Oil. This is so lovely and decadent. This is going to give you
that kind of I have it on right now so I'm touching my arm. This is going to give you that
real like moisture and glow if you're wearing like a tank top or something like that and you
just want a little bit of extra glow to the skin moisturization. I basically will layer this on top
and it has like truffle oil from Italy. It's very luxurious. It doesn't smell like truffles or
anything like that. It just kind of has like a very very light scent which is very pleasant. But
yeah all of these like all three of these together let's get my skin ready for the summertime.
Hey I really really like this brand so I'll probably try their body wash or something next.
If you have any recommendations for me please let me know in the comments. Also in the skincare
category I have sunscreens. I love to test new sunscreens. That's a category where it's like
I just can't get enough of them. Love to test them and find the best ones instead of it being
more like smoothing and giving kind of like a mattified look. This one is full on ethereal
glow. This is the Heimish Artless Glow Base. This is an Asian sunscreen formula which typically tend
to be my favorite because they're just so smooth and cosmetically elegant and typically look really
nice under makeup. This is all of those things. It is all of those things my friend. It is lightly
moisturizing, incredibly lightweight. It goes on so smoothly. It just feels it feels like silk going
onto your skin. And not only that this particular sunscreen has the most angelic glow to it. It is
not I don't know like some of these glowy sunscreens they don't look very natural. For example I don't
like the um what's it called the glow screen. I don't really care for that. I feel like it's greasy
and I don't like the tone or the finish of the shimmer. This is so gorgeous. This gives the most
beautiful glow where people are going to be like whoa did you just get a facial? Are you just like
naturally gorgeous and glowy like that? It doesn't look like you are trying too hard. It doesn't look
like you have I don't know some weird product on your face. It looks very natural and ethereal to
me. I am obsessed with this sunscreen. I've shared it on my Instagram like a couple of times so if
you don't follow me on Instagram please head over to Instagram it's just sophiasbeauty. I'm always
sharing new products and things that I'm testing, sneak peeks, new products that drop, restocks, all
that kind of stuff. I'm always sharing that to my Instagram and sometimes I forget that I haven't
mentioned certain things on YouTube so I would love to see you over there on my stories but I did
share it on my Instagram a couple of times and need to bring it over here to a YouTube video
because I love this sunscreen. The last time I did one of these videos which I believe was back
in December, I did talk about some new skincare devices that I had been liking. Again I don't
really bring in a lot of new things. I continue to use the things that I like but I do want to
give a shout out to the new Zip Halo 2. For over a year I was using the Zip Halo 1.0 but they did
come out with a new one I think at the end of January of this year and I just want to keep you
guys updated. I'm still really really liking it. I use it a couple times a week. If you don't know
what this is, it is a microcurrent device. It connects to an application on your phone where
you can do any number of facials for lifting the skin. You can treat redness, hyperpigmentation, acne.
There's all these different facials that you can use and for each facial you're using different
waveforms of those microcurrents to treat whatever the facial is for. I love to use this for de-puffing
my face. I love it for lifting my face. You can kind of get like a snatched look with the treatment
that is called instant facelift. That's one of my favorites. I use this several times a week and I've
really been liking the 2.0. I can definitely feel that the wavelengths are a little bit stronger
than the last one. I see the effects. I think it's a really good product so I just wanted to update
you guys because I had talked about that maybe like I don't know a month or two ago. I really
like the 2.0. It's the same concept but the waveforms in the new version are just a little
bit more targeted and stronger. Okay let's move on to my hair favorites. I get a lot of questions
about my hair or to do like hair tutorials. I gotta be honest guys I don't use that many things
to style my hair. I curl it with a curling wand and then I blast it with hairspray. So I'll just
link those two products down below but I do love testing products for the health and the conditioning
of my hair. So that's what I'm going to be sharing in this video. I want to give a shout out to the
Jisoo hair mask and also the Jisoo hair oil. I have really been enjoying these. The hair mask in
particular is so nice and conditioning and for the record guys I have very fine and also rather
thin hair. I know you some of you guys are like no you don't no you don't. Yes I do. Okay there's a
lot of hairspray in this hair right now and I curl it to make it look thicker and so when I'm using
conditioning products I'm usually looking for things that don't weigh down my hair or make it
look like weird and greasy and I was actually really surprised with both of these products
because they seemed like they were going to be just so so nourishing. They didn't weigh down my hair
at all. I've been using the Jisoo hair mask just you know like in the shower you leave it in for
like five minutes ten minutes however long you have. You towel dry your hair and then I've been
using the oil on pretty much towel dried hair. I know you can use it on dry hair but I just use a
little bit and it is not heavy at all as long as you don't use too much. It smells like honey. It's
got a beautiful scent and my hair just drinks this stuff up. I end up with beautiful soft you know
locks the next morning when I wake up. I've really been liking these and I know I'm a little bit like
late to this hair oil. I think it's a best seller at Sephora but whatever. I just started using it
and I think it's really great. The other brand that I've really been enjoying is Ceremonia. They
are also sold at Sephora and similarly they have an amazing hair mask. It's called the Guava hair
mask. I believe the name is Mascarilla de Guava and that one also smells so good. Very nourishing
not too heavy for fine hair and then they have the leave-in spray that you can use when you get
out. So I would say like those two brands I've really been liking. The Ceremonia products they
definitely have more of like a fruity tropical scent so if you like that kind of vibe go with
that. If you like more of that honey like indulgent honey aroma try the Jisoo but I would say both of
those brands like really really good for nourishing the hair and not too heavy for fine hair. Moving
along to fragrance favorites and my first one is an entire line of fragrances from one brand because
I love every single one of the Orabella perfumes. I am so enjoying these over the past couple of
months. I have every single perfume in the line and every single one I like and I don't think I
can say that about a lot of my favorite fragrance brands including Tom Ford which you guys know. I
love Tom Ford fragrances. This is Bella Hadid's fragrance line. It is a celebrity brand. I don't
really care about the celebrities and celebrity brands like I'm not like a Bella Hadid super fan
or anything like that. I just like the product. I just think these perfumes are so beautiful. They
are incredibly long lasting because it's kind of like a bi-phase formula. It's a little bit oily
kind of hydrating on the skin so you actually have to shake these up to like you know activate them
but basically to just mix up all of the ingredients. You spray it on the skin. It does feel nice and
moisturizing but what I really love about these is just how long lasting they are. It's almost like
if you were to use a fragrance oil and usually those do tend to be a little bit stronger and
longer lasting. My favorite one is called Salted Muse. This is described as a woody marine with
notes of sea salt, olive tree, and cedar wood. I feel like I am standing in an olive grove
by the coast in Greece and I can smell the sea salt and the woodiness of the olive trees. If
you like the scent profiles that I usually like I think you will really like Salted Muse. I also
think the nightcap perfume is beautiful. If you like vanilla it's a warm and spicy gourmand.
Blooming Fire is very sexy kind of sensual. If you like white flowers kind of like a sensual
white flower scent I think you will enjoy that. Window to Soul that one smells like a beautiful
garden. I feel like I'm just lying in a bed of flowers. It is so gorgeous. Eternal Roots is
going to be a woody fruity scent with notes of lychee, vetiver, and papyrus. And then finally
the newest one is called Jasmine Blues and this is the one that I've been wearing a lot recently
because it is the newest one. And if you love jasmine you're going to like this. It is so
delicate, angelic, fresh, calming. It really smells so pure like so purely of jasmine. I love it. I've
been really enjoying wearing this throughout the day when I'm filming, when I'm working. It's just
a very feminine, delicate, angelic floral scent if you are a big fan of jasmine. I can't be kindly
enough about these fragrances. They are sold at Ulta so I'll link them down below as well as their
own website. Try out a travel size. Half of them that I have are travel sizes and I really like to
bring these with me when I travel and I'll kind of pick you know a scent whatever scent profile for
that particular destination. And even for the ones that I don't have in the travel size I'm kind of
thinking of picking up the travel size because I just love having those mini versions. So yeah guys
it's a really great brand. Don't sleep on these fragrances. My next fragrance favorite is one that
really surprised me because I don't normally wear these types of fragrances. I'm not really like a
gourmand girly but I have really been enjoying Milk Orchid by Commodity. I've heard so many good
things about this fragrance. I received this in PR and I was like oh thank you so much I will give
this a try. If I hadn't received it I don't know if I would have picked it up because once again
these aren't really the types of fragrances that I purchase. I mean I do like fig fragrances but fig
milk, vanilla orchid, and magnolia which melt into warm cotton, coconut cream, and macadamia milk. So
it's supposed to be kind of like milky a little bit floral. You have a little bit of like a fruity
note in there from the fig and I thought this was going to be like super gross and overly sweet.
No my friend this is soft. It is feminine. It is a little sultry. It's a little bit sexy. It's the
kind of thing that I don't know you give somebody a hug and you're like you smell good but in like
the softest most enveloping comforting way possible. I've really been enjoying this maybe
it's because it has a little bit of like a coconutty scent to it and also the fig which
I'm usually a really big fan of. I can totally see why everybody likes this. Like this sold out
because this was a this was a collab that launched last year and it kept selling out and now they
brought it back and I do believe it is permanent so we don't have to rush to get it. We can like
budget to get it. If you like these kinds of milk fragrances, if you're looking for something very
soft and welcoming kind of comforting but like sultry at the same time I would definitely
try this out next time hopefully they have it at Sephora in store give it a try. My last fragrance
favorite that I want to share with you is from Guerlain and I do believe this is their newest
fragrance if not it's one of the newer ones and I purchased this one in January when I went to
Epcot with my friend who works at Disney World and we went to the little Guerlain boutique in
Epcot and she helped me pick this out. This is Vetiver Fauve and this is exactly the type of
fragrance that you would think I would wear if you know my preferences. It says fresh and fruity
here on the website. I wouldn't say it's overly fruity and overly tropical but it does have a
very distinctive fig note. Again you see the trend here and fig fragrances are very trendy right now
so kind of good for me as somebody who likes those types of fragrances. The top notes are
lime and green tropical accord. There's a lot of green freshness to this scent which I love in the
spring and summer. It's a great daytime fragrance. The middle notes are fig accord vetiver and
pineapple accord and the base notes are cypriol tonka bean and cedar. So it's not the kind of
fragrance that's just like I don't know like a great like a simple grapefruit fragrance where
you spray it on and like it's nice and it's fresh but like that's kind of it very one note. This has
some more complexity to it. It's not full-on tropical. It's not full-on fruity. You have some
really nice green notes in there and a little bit of spiciness as well. It is so beautiful. I really
enjoy wearing this again throughout the day when I want to feel I don't know just like fresh and
uplifted. It's a very happy energizing scent to me so if you're like me and you like those kinds of
fresher like fig forward scents definitely definitely check this out. It is so good and it
does last a good time too. Okay let's move on to some fashion and style favorites and I want to
start off with some shoes that I've really been liking. I have a couple of shoes to share with
you in this section. Don't know why but I've really been finding some very comfortable and stylish
shoes for spring and summer. The first ones are these M. Gemi Una flats and one of the reasons
why I wanted to share these is not only because M. Gemi is one of my favorite shoe brands that I've
been shopping from for years now. All the shoes are made in Italy of Italian leather from kind
of like small more artisanal factories so they're really good quality good price for what you get
but also I'm not really the biggest fan of ballet flats. Maybe I'm just scarred for having worn
ballet flats all throughout like middle school and high school and you know with the skinny jeans and
all the things that I probably shouldn't have been pairing together. I'm not a big ballet flats kind
of person but when I tried these I changed my mind. These are so buttery soft it feels like you
are wearing a little slipper. I have these in the kind of off-white tone which go really well with
all of my summer dresses and just spring and summer prints that I like to wear. I usually like
to wear these kinds of shoes with a skirt or a dress that's just my style and personal preference.
I like how these they actually kind of look like a ballet flat. They have the little
crisscross like stretchy straps across the top which really hold you in but I just really want
to emphasize the quality of these and the comfort of these. I get blisters so easily. I don't know
I just like really soft feet or whatever and this is why I shop from M Gemi. Their loafers are amazing
as well. These are so comfortable so buttery soft it feels like I'm wearing slippers when I walk. I
highly recommend checking these out if you want something good quality. Pretty much everything
from M Gemi is really really good but I had to give a shout out to these because I think they're
the only ballet flats that I wear. Now the last time that I did this video you guys heard me talk
about the Inez shoes. If you're not familiar with this brand they mostly focus on heels like heels
and sort of heeled sandals of all different heights both kitten heels and stilettos as
well. They mostly focus on that category but specifically for making them comfortable for
us real women okay not the supermodels out there the real women who need to go to somebody's
wedding and we need to keep our shoes on and we need to keep looking cute throughout the night
okay because we love to dance. These shoes are so so comfortable. I talked about a couple of styles
in my last video. They all come with the most cushioned support the softest straps like
everything's so thoughtfully designed obviously by a woman for somebody who wants their shoes to
look cute but actually be comfortable and I want to show you guys the latest style that I got.
These are the Sessile sandals hopefully I'm pronouncing that correctly. Oh my goodness
these are so comfy just like the M Jemmy flats. This leather is so buttery soft. These have kind
of like a retro look to them. I love the chunky heel because it makes it super easy to walk in.
They're just a dream. They're just a dream to walk in. I feel like this thick um leather strap as
well is very good for me because thinner straps sometimes can like rub and be a little bit
problematic. If you're looking for something that's really easy to walk in that is comfortable
also cushioned and supportive definitely check out these sandals. I really want to try out some
more styles but these are the newest ones that I got so I wanted to report back. I know quite a few
of you guys picked up their boots but now that we're going into the spring and summer I kind of
want to show you more of like the you know warm weather styles so definitely do not sleep on this
brand if you're more into like the kitten heels or like a lower sandal they have those styles as
well. Similarly again I'm gonna sound like a broken record here guys but I get so excited
when I find sandals that don't rip up my feet. I have to report back. Comment down below are you
like do you feel this pain point that I'm talking about? I don't like getting blisters and these
slides from beak beak sandals is their name. These are the most comfortable slides that I have
ever worn. I was looking for something to take with me on my trip to Mexico like two months ago
and I was on the Nordstrom website and I spotted these and I was like bingo those look like they're
going to be so comfy and I was so right. Not only do these have a nice soft buttery enveloping
strap or upper whatever you want to call it the part that holds your foot in not only is that
super soft and comfortable and just molds to your foot but this brand also has arch support
in all of their sandals. They have a bunch of styles but these are the ones that I like the
best. They have arch support. What sandals have that? Okay that are actually cute and I do kind
of want to get these in the black. I think they were out of my size. I have to double check. I
think I have a coupon code. Yeah I have a coupon code to their site. As it gets warmer I'm probably
gonna get another pair or two but I wanted to put these on your radar because so many times with
slides I find that they cut my feet up right where the strap ends and these are super soft and
comfortable and I wore them all throughout my vacation when I was in Mexico. They are Sophia
approved. I recently talked about this next brand in one of my monthly favorites videos but we're
gonna talk about it again because I can't get enough of the Cakes body products. I have most
of the products that are in their line and I love every single one of them. This brand they basically
make adhesive and grippy pasties, bras, cups, things to help you out when you can't wear a normal bra
or you're trying to figure out what the right undergarment is for a lot of your like strapless
or spaghetti strap situations. If you're wearing a beautiful dress going to somebody's wedding what
is the bra that you're going to wear? I love their products. Their kind of claim to fame are these
non-adhesive nippy covers little pasties. I don't know what they do it's like patent pending
technology but they have these little pasties that adhere to your skin just using your body heat and
so then you don't need to purchase a million more sticky pasties when they inevitably stop sticking
after like two or three uses. It just starts to get a little bit wasteful so they have some that
are non-adhesive and then if you really need a lot of grip if you're kind of wearing something
a little bit looser they also have an adhesive version that I've been testing for many months
now and I haven't needed to replace any of the ones that I purchased. They stick on so so well
they last really long they are way better quality than all of the cheapy Amazon ones that I've tried
in the past. They also have some that add like volume to the tata area which I very much need
with certain garments because I have a small chest. This is my go-to brand now whenever I need
some sort of bra solution when I am wearing you know something that where a bra wouldn't really
make a lot of sense if I need something that is going to look very smooth very covert underneath
my spring and summer tops. I cannot speak more highly about them. I think they also have some
shapewear as well so definitely check them out they are a great brand. In a similar vein I have
spoken in the past of my love of the classy tank tops. Classy with a K that is the name of this
brand. They have a bunch of different clothes that you can buy on their website but they specialize
in these tops that have built-in bras and not the crummy built-in bras that you get from most
brands where the cups are super low quality you can't wash them they don't have any support or
they're just like annoying and cumbersome and you feel like you want to cut them out.
That is not what you're getting here from classy. This brand makes the most comfortable breathable
like I just feel like I'm wearing a pajama right now but I'm not. I'm wearing my classy tank top.
This is the boat neck version there are specific ones that I prefer and I will link those styles
down below because some of the fabrics I like more than others but I'm wearing the brown one
right now and you get such nice shape from the cups it looks incredibly seamless you get that
kind of bodysuit look without having to wear a bodysuit because I don't want my shirt connected
to my thong. That's just me. I don't need that kind of connection. I rather just have a nice
fitted shirt from classy. These wash well. I even put them in the dryer. I'm sure it would be better
if I hang dried them but I wash I'll wash them together on the delicate cycle. I'll tumble them
on like a low heat even when I haven't they come out just fine. The cups are always in place and
they just feel so incredibly comfortable like I love these. I was originally I heard about this
company because they originally sent me one or two of their shirts then I went to their store
in Florida and I bought some and then I went on their website and I bought some more. That's how
much I love these. So yeah you'll see me wearing these in a lot of my videos. The name classy I
feel like it's like such a cheesy name but hey what can I say I love these tops. Let's talk about
some lounge wear some pjs to be specific. I've already sung my praises about the print fresh pjs.
I have so many pairs at this point it's almost embarrassing. If you like fun cutesy prints
definitely check them out. I'll link them down below but I have a new favorite to share in this
video that literally makes me feel so fancy and luxurious around my apartment. It is the
LUNIA. I don't know if it's LUNIA or LUNIA so I apologize but the LUNIA washable silk pjs.
I know they're pretty pricey for pjs but they're very good quality. You're getting like a full
on silk set. These are so comfy. They feel so luxe. I have washed them. They wash perfectly.
They don't get ruined. I even took them out of the dryer and they weren't even really wrinkly like
I don't know what else to say guys. These are really good quality. I got the pair that has the
pants and then the camisole top. That's definitely my favorite and I can wear the camisole as an
actual shirt with like you know jeans or a skirt or whatever because at the end of the day it's
just a silk shirt. But then I also recently ordered I believe it's called the high-waisted
short sleeve set. You get the high-waisted pants and then kind of like a cropped short sleeve shirt.
The quality is so nice. There's some other ones that I want to pick up but they are sold out in
my size so I'm keeping an eye out. I really need them to come out with more colors because some of
the colors don't look good on my skin tone. The butter yellow. I love butter yellow but it looks
so bad on me so I'm waiting for them to release more colors because these are so so nice. Again
I know they're kind of expensive but I want to introduce you guys to some things that I think
are really going to make you feel luxurious even when you're just sitting around at home with like
a messy bun and no makeup and these definitely hit the mark for me. And finally in the fashion
category we have the Ayer secret sauce jeans. They're definitely called the secret sauce for
a reason because there's something that is just so cool girl and flattering about these jeans. By
the way I don't know if it's Ayer or A-Y-R. It stands for all year round. I believe they're
out of Los Angeles and the quality of this brand is so so good. The secret sauce jeans they are
relatively high-waisted and they have a I would say straight leg cut. To me it feels a little bit
90s. It feels very like model off-duty. It's very elongating. It's like fitted enough to the bum
where like you can see your figure but not so much to the thigh where I feel like I look like a
sausage in these. You can wear them with like sneakers and all that kind of stuff but I like
wearing these with a pointy toed boot or a pointy toed heel. I just feel like they make my legs look
so long. You get that little pointy toe action. I first got these in the date night color which
is sort of like a dark black. Really great if you want something that you can kind of dress up or
down. And then I ordered them in the shade underground hustle and that's sort of like a dark
blue wash. They come in a bunch of washes. Apparently I think that these are made in Los
Angeles if I'm not mistaken. They're not made in like huge mass-produced batches so they do come
in and out of stock. If you don't see something in stock in your size just like join the waitlist or
something because sometimes you got to jump on it. That's what I had to do when I got the
underground hustle. I do find that they are true to size. I just took my usual size with these and
they're really comfortable. They're stretchy enough where they feel comfy. I've worn these
on flights before and I don't feel restricted but they're thick and substantial enough where I feel
like they really hold you in and they feel like they're gonna stand up to a lot of washes. So I
have really just been liking this company in general. I also purchased their beautiful chambray
shirt, a t-shirt. They have really great thick silk shirts. Everything is very like LA cool girl.
Very good quality basics which I think a lot of us here in this community can appreciate. I would
say like definitely worth the investment. The next category that I have for you I am calling
wellness. These are some of my favorite products that I use in my everyday routine that are kind
of related to health, well-being, or support my fitness routine. I got a lot of requests in a
recent video to go through like what I do for my workouts and what supplements and things I take.
I'm probably not going to do a whole video about that guys to be real because this is not a like
fitness and lifestyle channel. I do mostly resistance training, weight lifting. I love orange
theory. I love my peloton. So I basically cycle through those like five to six times a week and
these are the products and the things that I like to take and consume on a regular basis to support
that lifestyle. And the first product that I've really been loving, I started using it a couple
of months ago I want to say is the Armra Colostrum. This is a product that you can mix into your water.
I like to mix it in with my athletic greens every single morning which is another product that I've
been taking for five or six years now that I really like. I can link them down below. It's kind of
a daily multivitamin drink. I'll mix the colostrum in with that, drink it up before or after a workout
and it is so delicious and hydrating. Armra is I think one of the biggest names in the
colostrum market. If you've never heard of colostrum before, it's basically a substance
that comes from the mother cow that is just like jam-packed with nutrients. So it supports your
immune system, your gut health. It's supposed to have a lot of like skin benefits as well. It's
supposed to help with your athletic performance and recovery and I've definitely noticed a big
difference specifically with gut health and also just how I feel before and after my workouts
since using this. I can't say that I've seen any difference in my skin like I don't think there's
as much research behind that but so far I've really been enjoying this product and it's so
easy to just mix into my beverages throughout the day. It tastes amazing. My favorite flavor
is the Sun Gold Apricot. That one is definitely my favorite. I think it's limited edition so I
gotta buy some more and stock up but the Armra colostrum definitely great to support your immune
system, prevent yourself from getting sick and also I think for gut health it is amazing. The
other product that has really helped me with gut health that I've been taking for many months now
is from Ritual. They have a lot of really good supplements. I actually take a couple of things
from them but I specifically want to draw attention to their Symbiotic Plus. This is going to be a
mixture of prebiotics, probiotics and postbiotic to support a balanced gut microbiome because I
have a lot of issues with bloating. I don't know I feel like I'm always getting bloated. I try to
eat really healthy but then those healthy foods often make me feel bloated and ever since I've
been consistent with this product and then I would say also in combination with the colostrum I
really don't get as bloated anymore. I feel like this has really helped with my gut health and I've
taken other probiotic things in the past and I do you know try and eat like my yogurt. I try to eat
very healthy and whatnot. Not a lot of processed foods but it really wasn't until I was consistent
with this product and the colostrum where I really saw that difference of not being as bloated all
the time. So this is another one that I want to recommend. Again they have a lot of different
products. They have multivitamins. They have another product that I take that's good for your
skin hydration, the Hydra-Cera. Oh and the protein powder. The protein powder is the best protein
powder ever and I get sent a lot of protein powders so I have tried a lot actually. The
protein powder and then this product would be the two that I would check out. If you are like me and
you are looking to build lean muscle tone I would highly recommend taking a look at a creatine
supplement. I started taking creatine at some point last year and my favorite have been these creatine
gummies from the brand Array. Again they have a lot of different products to try but these are
definitely my favorite. They are berry flavored. They have a green apple and also a berry flavor
but I think the berry flavor is definitely the best. They're super yummy. I usually take three
or four per day and creatine helps you build lean muscle mass. There's a lot of research behind it.
I don't find that when I take these I get like tons of water retention. I know that's a concern
for some people. These are so good. I feel like I'm able to really push myself in the gym a lot more.
I feel like it really helps me build more muscle since that is my goal. It doesn't make you bulky
or anything like that. Definitely take a look into creatine supplements in general if you're
you know looking to hit those types of fitness goals and the Array gummies in particular have
been my favorite. A newer brand to me in the kind of wellness category is Chroma Wellness. They have
a bunch of different products in their line but I specifically want to call out their Beauty Matcha
Latte. I love matcha but I know for a lot of people the flavor can be a little bit earthy, maybe a
bitter, maybe not like sweet enough if it doesn't have the right amount of sugar. I totally get it.
I'm a big fan of matcha. This is the best matcha latte I've ever tried. It is so delicious and
it's also supposed to have like all these different health benefits or whatever. It says
the world's best matcha latte on the website and I think that might be correct because it doesn't
just taste like matcha. It has all of these other like harmonious flavors. There's like a little bit
of ginger in there to give a tiny bit of spice. I will mix this up with regular milk. I've done almond
milk, pistachio milk, oat milk, and they all taste bomb. It says that it is high protein with 12 grams
of collagen protein. The highest quality organic ceremonial grade matcha. You can just add water
by the way but I use like the milk or the plant milks. Proprietary beauty blend of seven adaptogenic
mushrooms plus ginger, turmeric, maca, and goji berry. It boosts mood, balances stress and hormones,
increases focus and energy without the jitters. I can't say that I've become magically more beautiful
since I've started taking this matcha latte. All I can tell you is that it is a delicious, yummy,
fantastic matcha latte that I love to drink in the afternoon because usually I'll reach for either a
coffee, a tea, or some sort of caffeinated beverage for my little like afternoon pick-me-up and treat
and this one has been so so good. It's very easy to make. I like to use my Nespresso Arachino Milk
Frother. I'll link it down below. It's not super expensive. I recently purchased a brand new one and
you just pop the matcha powder in there. I pour the milk in so it's like all in there together. I
press a button, it froths it up, you pour it out, and you have your matcha latte. So that's what I do.
It's super duper simple. Treat yourself. Treat yourself. I love this stuff. They also have a
powdered bone broth so if you don't feel like getting those big cartons of bone broth at the
store, they also have it in a little tub so you can kind of mix up your own bone broth. I've really
enjoyed that as well but the Beauty Matcha Latte, it is just so so good. I'm definitely going to be
repurchasing this after I finish my tub. And the last category that I have for you I am calling
lifestyle. These are like the extra things that I can't get enough of and I don't know what category
to really put them in. It's just lifestyle goodies, okay? The first one is it's so random. It's a type
of food. I didn't put this in the wellness category, okay guys? Because it is chips. These are the
masa chips. I've talked about these many times on my Instagram. These were sent to me in PR. I don't
think I would have purchased them otherwise because I don't really purchase chips and like
processed foods and those types of things. But I have to say, I mean I wouldn't be talking about
them in this video if they weren't the tastiest, most satisfying tortilla chips that I have ever
tried. But you know they're like a corn chip, a tortilla chip, but they are cooked in organic beef
tallow. They don't have a million different ingredients. They're not dusted with some sort of
mystery ingredient that's probably not very good for you. These are like the purest chips that you
can eat. I'm not saying they're like health food, right? But they're probably the cleanest chips out
there that you can eat and they're so delicious. I am addicted to these. They're so crunchy and
satisfying because they're cooked in that beef tallow. My favorite flavors, because I've tried
all of them, my favorite flavors are the original for sure which are like the saltiest ones. I like
really salty foods and definitely the churro which are they're basically dusted in cinnamon sugar
which sounds a little bit weird for a tortilla chip but somehow it works and I love to eat a
couple of these in the afternoon with like my beauty matcha latte or a cup of coffee. There's
something about these chips where I don't feel like I need to eat the whole bag. I eat a couple of them
and I'm satisfied. They're insanely satisfying. I like to eat them with like a bowl of soup in the
evening on like a chilly rainy day. They're so delicious. They're so good. I have a code for this
brand as well. I'll just keep putting the codes up here if I have any for you guys. I think my mom
ordered them as well. I was like mom you need to get these chips they're so yummy. Super random guys
but hey that's why I have this video to tell you about all these random things that I've been
enjoying that I think you might like as well. Next up we've got more caffeine because I am a coffee
addict and normally in the morning I like to warm up with a hot cup of black coffee but in the
afternoon especially here in Dallas you know it gets kind of hot. I am in the mood to cool down
with a delicious iced coffee maybe a little cold brew maybe a little like iced espresso of sorts
and I recently had the pleasure of trying out the Cumulus iced coffee machine. Comment down below if
you have this. It is such an easy way to get the best quality cold brew style coffee in like
two seconds. Way better than what I buy from the grocery store in those like pre-made jugs. It is a
rather big machine but it fits pretty comfortably under my cabinet on my counter. In two seconds you
just like pop in the little capsule you press a button and you get the most frothy cloudy delicious
I have one right here I'm literally drinking this while I film right now. You get the best iced coffee
and you can select if you want sort of regular nitro or espresso. It's kind of like an espresso
or a Keurig machine where you have to buy the little capsules but what I really like about these
is that when you take the capsule out you'll kind of see it's like a little mini can a little mini
aluminum can it's completely clean inside so you don't have to put these in some special bag like
I have to do with my Nespresso capsules. Love my Nespresso machine but I really it's like really
annoying to do that. You can just throw these into the recycling bin and they get recycled. It's such
a nice machine it's so convenient I love using it. I don't want to have to like spend a million
dollars at Starbucks for different cold brew coffees like it's so expensive right now so I've
really been enjoying this. I'll link down below my favorite flavors the favorite grounds that I
like and I believe they also have a bunch of syrups and things that you can buy on their
website. I'm not a sweet coffee girl really I don't really like the syrups I didn't get those
but highly recommend checking out this machine if you are an iced coffee lover. And my last lifestyle
favorite is one that is actually not new to me. I believe this might be the product that I have
used for the longest out of all the ones that are in this video because I have focused a little bit
more on like newer favorites that I haven't talked about. This is the Sleep and Glow Omnia pillow.
I've been sleeping on this pillow for maybe I think five or six years I can't remember when I
purchased my first one. I cannot live without this pillow it is so comfortable but the main reason
why I switched to this is because it is designed it is specifically shaped to prevent those like
wrinkles and lines that you get on your face from your pillow. I mean every single evening we are
like smashing our faces into the pillow unless you sleep on your back like this which is definitely
the best way to go. The Omnia pillow has these little grooves these little like cutouts almost
on the side where your face can rest and it almost like hovers onto the pillow so when you wake up
you are less puffy you don't have those lines on your face you're not developing those wrinkles
over time that you would from a regular pillow. And I just like cannot sleep on anything else I
mean don't get me wrong if I'm sleeping at a hotel and it's a comfy bed I will fall asleep and I can
have a good night's sleep. I am left there thinking man I wish I had my Sleep and Glow pillow and I
suppose I could bring it with me but I'm such an overpacker guys y'all know that isn't happening.
This is also very comfortable for sleeping on your back it's just a great pillow for beauty lovers
for anybody who wants to decrease puffiness and kind of like maintain their skin as a lot of us
do. It's just one more thing that we can do to kind of prevent those wrinkles whether it be like
on the neck or on the face that we develop when we sleep. I've been using it for so many years
I felt like I should pop it into this video I don't think I think I've only mentioned it maybe
once or twice on all of the four years that I've been on YouTube so highly recommend checking it
out great investment in your face and your sleep. Comment down below and let me know what are some
of your favorite skincare fragrance lifestyle favorites what should I be trying out next I
would love to know and if you enjoyed this video please don't forget to give me a big thumbs up and
