I think the dissolving makeup wipes are a fantastic thing but.....do they all come individually wrapped? That kind of seems to defeat the purpose of eliminating waste. 🤔
I was just coming here to say that!
Also, dissolving doesn't necessarily mean "disappearing". You're still washing this down the drain and who knows what tiny compounds or particles these wipes turn into. It's worth investigating.
My first thought exactly. It's a step in the right direction if they can work out how to sell it without the requirement to have it individually wrapped.
I see what you mean! In most cases it’s still less waste than standard plastic packaging and most likely they can’t avoid individually wrapping it bc the formulation may not hold well if exposed to too much air or moisture. I do wonder which is less wasteful though: individual plastic wraps or one bag of plastic like makeup wipes usually come in.
@@henobread it’s sure BETTER than the other wipes tho omg 🙄
Oh my god the way she was COATED in sunscreen with her hair all stuck to her face and neck gave me anxiety 😂
Right! I was feeling claustrophobic for her and ESPECIALLY bcuz her long hair was down lol🫠🤣
@@reannandonofrio8816 she's gonna have to shampoo twice 😫😫
@@honey_seafoam3536 that's a smart reference, daym
I couldn't watch, WAY too much product
I'm sure I threw up in my mouth a little 🤣🤢
i hate those oil sheet experiments almost as much as i hate when ppl “test” sunscreen coverage on those new purple stickers that are meant to tell you when to reapply. like ppl will say “see i put sunscreen on the sticker and it’s still purple! it doesn’t work!” like no…all it’s telling you is you need to put more on to get the the full coverage 😑😑😑 it’s so misleading & all the comments are like omg i’m not gonna use that sunscreen anymore
fr as someone who's majoring in a natural science this shit is so annoying 😭 skin is so complex and "testing" products on surfaces that can't replicate dermal characteristics won't actually prove anything. i wish people would stop believing everything they see on tiktok lol it's like giving a megaphone to the worst informed people
@@freddie6307 lol so true 📢 That’s why I refuse to use that app
They don't even react to sunscreen
They react to any moisturizer
I don't know who but one influencer put nightcream on it and it changed color.
So when you don't put enough on the sticker, it says nothing about the sunscreen
I'd love to see LabMuffin get the real dirt on that dissolving makeup wipes. This may be closer to her since the brand is Australian and she has zero tolerance for greenwashing. >:)
I've used those purple things and they also take a while to absorb the sunscreen. I left one for 30 minutes and it turned clear.
Lord yes. In my business class we had to do a short write up of a company tackling large problems and the amount of them that were praising basically greenwashed pr moves was a huge gripe.
Awesome idea!!! Can someone tag her
I understand everyone’s gripe with the individually wrapped dissolvable wipes, but I know when I was creating a biodegradable plastic (long story) I ran into the problem of having to individually wrap that biodegradable packaging in cardboard or plastic bc when a material is biodegradable that means any sort of moisture it may be exposed to after creation can compromise its integrity. And then when I dug deeper into my research on what other people were doing (to see if they ran into this problem), they did! So until we can fix this problem, chances are things will have to be individually wrapped in some way bc otherwise it wouldn’t be safe to put on shelves. It’s still less waste so it’s a step in the right direction and even better would be to go with some kind of cardboard instead of regular plastic.
Would having them wrapped in cellulose work?...
It’s the same waste because I can put 100 non biodegradable wipes on the environment or 100 plastic packages. It’s the same. The non biodegradable option don’t come individually wrapped so there’s less packaging waste
Yep, and I know cardboard (small bits) would be more easily recyclable, too.
Couldn’t you put them in a refillable container with a good seal?
So that means that contamination from lets say have it has a bunch (30 of them) in a plastic tub that you open an pick will be enough to kick start decomposition?
I used to work at an adult store and we sold a tightening cream and people sometimes would use that as a primer because it’d reduce the size of pores; but a condom?!!💀💀
Wtf? I don't think it works considering the effects of tightening cream on the vagina.... it seems to either swell or dry
I'm not gonna lie...it took me half of the clip before I realized that the last clip was about a condom. I was like "banana...does someone sell indiviudally-packaged slices of banana, that's oddly specific" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂
OMG🤣
I thought it was a lemon in a packet and came to outrage about waste - the heat is melting my brain!
I thought it was lemon candy at first.😑
@@julienicol9202 This thread just keeps getting better.🤣
I get the individual packaging on the wipes: Any additional moisture would likely cause the wipe to dissolve. That said, I can only imagine using these for travel. It's nice to see some product innovation though.
Ughh if sunscreen barely touches my eyes they sting for hours! She stressed me out!😅
My eyes hurrrrrt so much looking at the sunscreen lady. A tiny drop pains me all day. That actually looks horrifyingly sore.
Me too lol and i did have a little panic attack watching her do that.
I think it was a mineral sunscreen and they don't generally burn your eyes like chemical sunscreens.
The dissolving makeup wipes are cool, it's the that the packaging is still wasteful but honestly I think it's not so bad if you consider that most people use makeup wipes for wrong purposes - they shouldn't be your *every day* makeup removal solution but one for when you're on the go, if it's not something you use super often it's not much worse than tea bags that come in a similar packaging.
Word on the street for natural (kinky, curly) hair is that bentonite clay is negatively charged so it wants to bind with positively charged stuff. The idea is that if you have hard water, it can bind to and remove mineral deposits, trace metals and build up of products from the hair because it can absorb so much more than it's weight when mixed with water. For folks using thick creams and oils, it is supposed to remove buildup that prevents fresh products from getting to the hair shaft, making sure your moisturizing products or the deep conditioner actually work. Lots of folks do add in their favorite oils, glycerin and I think I've even seen a DIY recipe with honey in it to help with the drying nature. This is what the blogs and advice columns say and I think it works for me that way. One of the home remedies I'm torn on bc if they do more official studies I feel like the price is gonna go up and I love some affordable volcanic ash! Lol
🔥🔥🔥
My fav site about 10 yrs ago was Black Hair Care Media and that was the first time I heard about this product for hair. Worked well but stopped using it when I went back to relaxers. It was a wonderful site for "at home" hair remedies 😊
Actually helpful lifehack for the bentonite clay/aztec clay mask! I dont use it all over the face but moreso as a spot treatment, sometimes for pimples. BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, for mosquito bites!! I apply some on the spot where I was bit asap and the bite is usually less itchy and shrinks way down by the next day. That typically takes several days without the clay mask and its itchy the whole time
I hadn't heard of using it for mosquito bites! As someone who frequently gets called "walking mosquito bait" by friends and family, I'm gonna have to try that!
Facts 🙂☝️👏👏
My mom has a serious mosquitp allergy and her bites get super big, she will love this ^^.
Now that's something that I can use! Thank you.
Thank you for the tip 🙏🏻
That oil blotting hack makes zero sense because sunscreens are still moisturizers. They’re just moisturizers with sunscreen filters in them. Of course they’re going to produce some kind of moisture on a blotting paper after time.
As for the clay mask in the hair hack. It’s supposed to be a way to clarify your hair and scalp by absorbing any buildup. That said there’s plenty of products designated specifically for your hair to do that. Even ones with clay and charcoal already in them. I wouldn’t use the clay mask on the hair because you have to use so much and it can clog up your pipes when you wash it out.
I’ve used that exact clay mask on my hair and I don’t recommend it at all. So many clumps that get stuck on your hair (and pipes!!) and it’s super drying! There’s more convenient products out there.
OMG I had my headphones on high trying to hear your voice and 4:45 scared the living hell out of me. It was so much louder. 😭
I used to have chronically-chapped lips (even in high humidity) that cracked and bled in the winter. Over the last couple of years I've managed to elevate my lip care to demi-god tier with no chapping. However, I think WARMING the cloth might be the step that elevates me to pillowy-soft, god tier lips!!!
Tips please lol
Drop the lip care routine!!!!
Another thing is some ppl could have cheilitis or angular cheilitis (AKA angular stomatitis/ perlèche).
Saliva can cause cracked lips - that's why they say don't lick your lips! - and chronic angular cheilitis (when you get the painful cracks on the side of your mouth) and that makes them prone bacterial or fungal infections.
It's usually caused by saliva due to medications, thrush etc. I have Lupus and my weak immune system coupled w vitamin deficiency and meds causes cheilitis. which is treatable with xylitol gum or mouthwash than a barrier on the lips like petroleum or coconut oil to keep the skin hydrated + ur fav moisturizer. Good skin care is very important.
If you keep getting cheilitis you'll need to see a dermatologist to get medical creme and testing.
@@jadebass2 I Gotchu.
1) I put Vaseline on my lips before brushing my teeth and AGAIN before washing my face. Protecting them from surfactants and toothpase was a game changer (thanks to DermAngelo for those tips!)
2) I switched my toothpaste to one that's less minty. My lips HATE mint. In fact, my current toothpaste is actually marketed to kids (but still has the full amount of fluoride)
3) Every hydrating serum that goes on my face also goes on my lips. Moisturizer too. Then, on TOP of all of that I layer CeraVe Healing Ointment at night.
4) No actives like vitamin c, AHA/BHA, or retinol near my lips. Again, I protect my lips with Vaseline before putting on my actives.
4) GENTLE scrubbing. I do this every other day in the winter, 1-2x/week in the summer. Sugar-based lip scrub products are fun and effective, but a washcloth also works.
5) Lip SPF was a big problem for me for ages. Finally found the Rohto Mentholatum Melty Lip Cream SPF 25 PA+++. It's the only one I've found that's ACTUALLY hydrating, doesn't sting, doesn't leave a cast/tint, doesn't taste awful, and doesn't have any mint/menthol/eucalyptus! A godsend! Bonus: it has fragrance free, vanilla, and...wait for it...matcha versions available! I'm obnoxiously obsessed with the matcha, especially considering the antioxidant boost it gives!
So... basically the core of the "secret" is a crapload of petrolatum. I cannot wait for the day there is an equally effective alternative that doesn't come from petroleum. For now, I just remind myself it's a BYPRODUCT of oil refining, not the actual reason corporations ate destroying habitats.
@@Evearko Replying so you get notified. See my lip routine above!❤️
Those wipes would be great for haunt monsters. I was a monster in a haunted house for two Halloweens. All employees had to remove at least half of their makeup before leaving your shift. Closing was always a rush to the bathrooms and lockers to change out of costume and wipe our makeup off. Most people used makeup wipes but I used micellar water or cleansing balm and a knock-off makeup eraser. Worked well and then when I got home I washed my face so the micellar water or cleansing balm wouldn't just shit on my face all night.
I still have nothing better for getting grease paint or ben nye creme paint and stage quality sealer (usually layering powder, hairspray, consumer grade spray, then extra barrier spray and final seal. My paint never smeared or transferred once!) off than the big jars of ponds cold cream then just a degreaser after.
Even loosens up spirit gum (why is the SG remover always dried up?!)
I've had a tub of the Aztec clay for like 2 years now and *rarely* used it, BUT I've used it in thin layers for a couple weeks and it's actually made a difference! I mix it with water and a little bit of glycolic acid toner, making a thinner paste, and my skin looks so smooth and brighter! Definitely a bit dry and tight, but a good toner and moisturizer fixes that!
Another comment mentioned honey to combat the overly drying effects especially on hair.
What's the measurements for creating a thin face mask? I always try and make it and it gets really really clumpy 😅 I don't like the idea of adding apple cider vinegar, I just use water.
I adore your debunking videos!
Also, the dissolving makeup wipes do create waste 🤦🏼♀️ the individual packets they come in don’t dissolve.
Tis true but it’s recycled so must be better than a landfill.
@@YoungDymisty that’s a good point!
John Maclean taught me to roll a Vaseline coated Qtip on dry lips to remove the dead skin. It works so fast and even better than a lip scrub. Your way sounds gentler if you have more time, but for an instant fix the Qtip is my go to.
Seamless! I just use my toothbrush every morning for very gentle exfolaition and I'm never far from petroleum jelly 😀
@@jeryth057 yes, I do the same when I brush my teeth. I rarely get to where I need to do more.
Regarding bentonite clay for hair, I use it for increased curl definition. It helps a lot with product build up and itchy scalp. A lot of people with natural hair/curly hair use it. I’m not sure if the person in the video was using it for that purpose.
Wow, dissolving makeup wipes is such a great thing. Ofc if it for real does not contain plastic or other environment bad ingredients 🤩 But they are in individual packages, it would be better if they were packed as a normal wet wipes - in one big package.
Yeahhh that’s a good point!
Yea cos 100 wipes or 100 individual wrappers seems like much of muchness to me too. Also you get toilet wipes that dissolve when they’re flushed that come in one package so the tech can’t be that much to figure out
@Vicki Mac Cullum most of those “dissolving” toilet wipes don’t really dissolve unfortunately. They still clog up septic systems/leach fields/etc and most plumbers really discourage their use. They also wouldn’t contain all the oils/ingredients that breakdown the makeup/sunscreen that these makeup wipes contain which is why the makeup wipes are packaged individually. I do believe the packaging the makeup wipes come in is recyclable though
@@Just_Reading_Comments yea I get you. Recycling still takes a lot out of the environment as well so it should be their top priority to solve that if they are going to put the main focus on the environmental impact
That lip tip?? From the lady and you! Omg. I'm trying those ASAP. I pick at my lips. I used to do it a lot more when my anxiety disorder was at an all time high and it left me with a circular scar on my upper lip. If that works, you two will have literally saved my lips!
The condom thing is presumably so that later, when someone kisses you, they’ll be aroused by the fact that your face is slippery and smells like a rubbery banana. Fastest route to getting your partner in the mood.
😂🤣 my first thought when I realized what it was--damn her skin's gonna smell terrible.
Haha omg. Well yes absolutely everyone has a banana kink
It's nature's aphrodisiac! 🤣
@@nailslacquer omg banana kink how did I never thought about this before??
"Hey, handsome. How about a cheek smooch?" **banana flavored squelching noises intensify**
That makeup wipe dissolving reminds me of these collagen sheets I just saw another you tuber use. You literally spray your face with water, place a collagen sheet over a part of your face, and then spray the sheet. The collagen sheet INSTANTLY dissolves into your skin! So cool
I like the idea of dissolvable makeup wipes but I already have a good thing going with coconut oil and microfiber towels that I've been doing for years and I've never had an issue with them to think I need to get makeup wipes
The only thing I've ever seen blur something in real life, is the Dior Powder no powder. I use a dot of concealer under each eye, the Rare Beauty bronzing stick, an LYS cream blush, then I put the Dior Powder all over, and it really does just blur things and makes everything look amazing🤣🙌
1. Vaseline is my holy grail lip product!
2. The lube as primer just comes from that you can use astroglide (pure liquid silicone) as primer. Plenty of primers rely on it but are waaaay more expensive than astroglide. Just using 1-2 drops keeps my make up looking waaaay better than no primer and than most other primers (except high grade pricy stuff).
As far as the clay mask goes, PLEASE BE CAREFUL. I saw this product and got my hands on some and completely forgot I had sensitive skin. This mask is as it says (MEANING EXTREMELY STRONG) My face was red for hours afterwards. Please be careful if you have sensitive skin. Also NEVER mix with metal. Always use plastic or glass.
3:04 - As someone allergic to sunblock and sunscreen, all I could think is I would be in SO MUCH PAIN!
hey James, MECCA is an australian makeup store that sells the biodegradable makeup wipes. They don't ship internationally however, they have a service that could help you with that.
Okay, my dry, avobenzone-hating skin is screaming, "Gimme a zinc sunscreen as greasy as that SunBum!!!"😆
😂😂😂
Girl you want greasy sunscreen try the Pipette mineral sunscreen. Pretty sure it's for babies. Squalane is the 2nd or 3rd ingredient. My dry, aging, American chemical sunscreen hating skin broke out like crazy. Might work great for you though!
@@WendeCrow You are right on the money, because I JUST restocked on the Pipette sunscreen last week!😆 My skin loves it, just wish it was water resistant!
Since I was little maybe 10 or 11, I would put Vaseline on my lips after a shower and then use a soft toothbrush that I was going to throw away anyways and kind of buff my lips. Definitely helped not get the urge to start peeling which always made it worst. I’ve lived in Boston my whole life so we gets lots of freezing winters and way too hot inside at school.
I love your TikTok series James so much fun.. Hope your managing to keep cool in this heatwave xxxxxx
Thank you!!! I aaaam! I hate summer so much I got air conditioning 🥲
The concern I have with the dissolving paper is the cost and process of making it and the waste that comes from that process alone not to mention how they're individually wrapped. Similar to the paper vs plastic vs reusable bag debate, the cost and waste from production combined with its use afterwards make plastic bags actually "more environmentally friendly" in its whole life cycle. My fear is the same for these items.
Great video, James! I like when you do these types of videos. I learn a lot!
I like the idea of the cleansing wipe….the oil properties are what I like. I don’t care so much about the individually packaged thing. I’m normally going to use non-reusable cotton pads with micellar water as a first cleanse, so the oil removing wipe could be even more gentle.
Lip thing, pretty much a hack since I was a teen in a little kid magazine - soft tooth brush on the lips, easy exfoliation.
Lol the towel and Vaseline trick is what I've been using for years! I used to have a problem with chewing on my lip in my teens and figured if there was no dead skin to mess with I'd do it less. At night, put a thick layer of Vaseline on your lips (Chapstick is really good if you want to stay inexpensive but hate sticking your fingers into pots like I do) and go to bed. In the morning, wipe it off with a warm damp washcloth and apply your normal lip balm. Don't forget to reapply throughout the day!
I still mess with my lips sometimes, but definitely way less than I used to.
James gives me life! He’s so fun and interesting to watch. I feel like I’m actually learning stuff but also being entertained lol idk if I’m making any sense
Lip care products are going to form a layer over your skin, to maintain the moisture there already. BUT if your lips are notoriously dry (like mine, thank you adhd meds 🤡), you will need to ADD moisture in first to “speed” up that healing! Add bit of water/lick your lips, THEN APPLY YOUR LIPBALM/MASK!!!! You’ll be AMAZED 😩🤣 we do it to our faces when we moisturize (knowingly, or not), BUT we forget all the “rules” and science when we move on to other parts 😂
Water, yes. Licking, probably not. Saliva can be pretty irritating because of the germs, enzymes, etc.
Some people also have dry lips because of being dehydrated.
as soon as I saw the sun bum i knew that oil sheet would be destroyed. it may be a bad experiment but sun bum is truly the greasiest sunscreen I've ever used lmao
Sunbum should have a new tagline: we'll make a grease monkey out of you.🐵
Every time James says linalool- all I can think about is “LOREL”
OMG James… I love you! Your reaction at the last hack was priceless… “Was that banana flavored? 🤔” Hahahaha 🤣
You and your brother are my new favorite RUclipsrs to watch and listen to (podcast). I especially love when you have Marcus on as well. You all make a wonderful team. Your mom and dad must be incredible to have produced such wonderful kids.
Kudos to Ashton as well. She is the glue. Lol 👸
I was laughing so hard at your insta story about idris Elba and his toner
Omg bless him 🥲😂
@@JamesWelsh thank you for replying. It was like watching a baby animal struggling and wanting to help 😆
That ‘Odd Front’ instrumental, instantly my favorite skincare youtuber 🥰
Great video! I lost it laughing at the last clip and your reaction! Banana flavored? 😂
When the sunscreen girl was slapping,tugging her face, I was shuddering. Doing that everyday would ruin your face,no amount of sunscreen can fix that.
LOL James that last one is hysterical
Never been so early ❤️🔥✨ love James, love the Welsh twins 🔥
💜💜💜💜
Those dissolvable oil cleanser sheets are fabulous! 👌🏼💜💜💜💜
Lots of love James ❤️
Not gonna lie I'm kinda curious about what exactly do those wipes end up dissolving into(?. Like, obviously the wipe is still chemically there so I'm curious to know if the dissolved chemicals are safe for the ocean or if they just contribute to pollution anyway and it's just takes away that extra step of an item dissolving in the ocean.
I love your look of consternation at that last one.
I love the outro music, James!!!!
I live in Australia and have just ordered the wipes. Had to preorder and hope they do not take too long. They look amazing.
I just found out about a brand called Numbuzin and I’m SO curious about the products I’ve seen!
Supposedly The deep sleeping mask and super glowing essence is a game changer!
I’ve also heard about the skin softening serum along with the black/white head products as well!
Bentonite clay that isn’t mixed with vinegar to lower the pH is only incredibly compromising to the hair and skin. It is more basic than baking soda, and the hair and skin needs to be slightly acidic. It’s very damaging on its own. Yes it may look good visually, but chemically it’s destroying your hair. You can completely lose texture. Any “oh my hair got curlier” is temporary and related to sucking moisture out of it. Don’t do it without changing it’s pH first.
I can't imagine trying to get all that clay out of my hair. 😖
Bentonite clay works fantastically on the oily patch on my scalp. I use up any masks I don't like that way.
However, I only massage it into my scalp for around 30 seconds and do it once every week or two weeks.
Love that subtle LOONA plug at the beginning, mate.
SAME!
Like I get that the wipes dissolve but they still come in seperate packages
I just have a favor to ask. Please adjust your volume when switching from you talking to the video playing. The tiktok video is wayyy too loud especially in contrast to your very calming voice (which is quite soothing :)) but yeah. Sanks! Xo
Regarding clay; apparently you can wash your hair with it as it has cleansing abilities, it binds to the oils and other type of dirt I think. I even once heard it's chelating but I don't know if that's true. I've also only used (German) Healing clay so that's probably different to bentonite clay.
Omg the girl with the ton of sun screen had me yelling at my phone. 😂😂
Just do the lip thing in the shower. As soon as you get in, get your lips wet. The heat and moisture from the shower will do the rest. Use your loofah or scrubby glove to gently remove the dead skin. Moisturizing with chapstick the night before helps it go even easier. Don't know why people make it so complicated lol.
Lmao James… the last one.. I love that you had the same thought. Is that banana?
Can i just say as unrelated comment that James looks so great on this video, just so healthy and radiant, hair is beautiful, just living and looking his best 💯
From Wyoming where bentonite clay is collected. And it is very drying. I always add an oil rather than water. It is great for detox on skin and scalp (just sprinkle dry powder on scalp and massage before washing).
I always have peeling lips thank you for the tip!
"... And is that banana flavored?" I'm dead!! HAHAHAHAHAAH
"And is that banana flavored?" LOL 😆
Make up wipes that dissolve in water and the individual packets are 100% recyclable ♻️ yasss
10:18 the way we've always done it is mixing it with olive oil and acv. I personally don't like adding vinegar always cuz like the older it is, the stronger
Question about the dissolving makeup wipes. She said that brand claims no waste left well what about the packet the wipe comes in ? The box contains a bunch of individual packets do the packets also dissolve ? Probably not so that product does have waste leftover. The dissolving wipes are awesome now they need to figure out how to make the packets dissolve as well . Love your videos Peace and love to you and your family 💜🧡💜🧡💜🧡
No but they are recyclable.
The dissolving wipes are inviting 😍
I use the clay on my hair/scalp every so often. I find that it helps get rid of build up from other products. When I take it off it can sometimes leave my hair a little dry so I’ll put on a hair mask over night. I’ve noticed once hair feels cleaner and gets oily slower.
This is a long shot, but could you review Trinny London skincare?
A friend asked me about it and I’ve never heard about the brand. Their products are pretty expensive in my opinion and i want to know if they’re really worth it. 30 something euros for a cleanser, 80 something for serums😅
Anyway, love your content, you’re such a delight to watch and listen to.
The crazy amount of sunscreen "recommended" by some is one of my pet peeves. I use sunscreen since my childhood bc I'm a fair skinned freckled copperhead. I still only use it in reasonable amounts, like this shi is expensive. And I dont use it at all during winter months when the UV index is probably super low where I live. Sue me lol
I trust my skin. Whenever I'm under the sun and I feel like my skin is slightly feeling the sun rays, I reapply sunscreen. I didn't suffer from sunburn in my adulthood unless I'm really stuck in the heat during a hike or whatever. Basic
James try wetting the makeup wipes even dollar tree wipes work non dissolve kind of course. then go in with micellar water then cleanser
Omg that make up wipe is ground breaking 😯 all those sheet masks can be replaced with the same “insta melt” technology mask
Hi James and the community! Thoughts on the Sun Bum sunscreen?
I would definitely follow-up with a lip mask following the hot wet towel trick.... As hot water can actually exacerbate the dry/cracked skin issue.
Mahn you have thought me alot. Thank you
I have a caolin clay shampoo powder. You add water and make a mud and rub it in your scalp. It’s supposedly a mechanical shampoo. It sort of works but it’s messy to use.
It has proven quite useful when my cats have a mystery stain that I don’t know it is and don’t want them to lick it clean . The clay is good at absorbing and mechanically removing those stains , which is good, since trying to bathe my cats would end up with me being clawed to death. And the residue clay is not harmful to them.
Several years ago a friend of mine told me to use the Aztec clay mask for my armpit stink, which is super bizarre but it did help. I can’t imagine putting it on my face though
nO MoM I’m noT haVing seKs I’m dOinG sKincaRe * shows video *
I can say Aztec masks are great for curly hair. I use it once a month to revive my curls. Ill also use it as a face mask but only on big break outs because it is drying.
The last one, I couldn't believe my eyes 😭😂😂😂
Those wipes are back in stock again at Mecca if you want to try them… The reviews are pretty mixed though, and I’m not a big fan of oil cleansers so I’ve decided it’s not worth wasting $40 on.
Omg I am shocked with those dissolvable wet wipes 😲😲😲 We need these in our eco friendly lives 😍❤ Thank you James for sharing it 🥰
I think they’ll be the same as biodegradable (dissolving) toilet wipes which still can cause an issue in pipes and is still recommended not to flush them
Oh no! I really hope they work and more importantly they dissolve correctly 🙏 Thank you for that info though Harriet
I might try that lip trick.
Sir James, Did you increase the size if your gauges? I don’t recall seeing silver gauges on you before. Maybe Michelle from Lab Beauty can test the dissolvable makeup wipes for us…you have her deets!!
Omg the wipes would be so helpful with wastewater treatment!
Oh idk miracleblur without spf was rocking as my only foundation for years..I mean it didnt get rid of creases but my skin looked nearly poreless buuuut I have fairly blemish and spot free skin and dont have a load of large visible pores. Idk if the same owuld happen in a mirror as happens with light on a phone camera
omg those oil sheet experiments get on my nerves. and when you try and tell people that it doesn't mean anything they don't listen 😭
I love using the clay mask on my body and face every few months- BUT not my hair. It works great after camping for a few days or going on back to back hikes or anything really where my body is more oily than normal.
*puts half the bottle of sunscreen on their face*
Them: I think this is a scam 😳
Huh-
Edit: at 10:07, did your dog come in? Lol you looked so happy and I heard their little claws on the floor 😅 I loved that for some reason
