I was about to buy a sheet mask the other day, and my boyfriend was with me who knows absolutely nothing about skincare and he asked me what does it do for your skin..I told him it "hydrates" the face...and he simply with a blank face asked me...why don't you just drink water then. And I could not respond to that what so ever 😂
@@dataexpunged6969 it doesn't. When u drink water it reached the internal organs and when those organs work fine it shows up on ur face too. So if you take very less water then it shows up on the face. However if you're taking enough (2-3litres per day) it doesn't necessarily mean your skin will be moisturised too. And even if you increase it to 5 litre then also there wouldn't be anh difference on your face. Dryness on skin depends on stratum corner, the outer layer of the skin which is responsible for locking hydration. So if that layer is screwed then no amount of water intake will help. This is where sheetmasks help, they provide hydration and form an occlusive layer so there's no trans epidermal water loss and your skin is hydrated. However, these sheetmasks are wasteful so your best bet is hyaluronic acid serum on a damp face followed by a thick moisturiser that can form an occlusive layer, basically lock the hydration.
sheet masks are cheap , there will be a lot of serum left on the package it’s enough for me to use it on my face for a whole week everyday as a normal serum
Only you , shweta, shreya jain and stacey make sense. Rest all other beauty bloggers will just praise all the PR packages they receive. Thank youu gurlssss❤
I have never bought a blush. I have managed with lipstick. Not even a contour or highlighter or eye brow powder. All I managed with eye shadow palette. Same with make up remover. Now after watching this video I'm like 👯
@@Megan-tq9xu I could see that being a good idea for some people but I don't buy pink toned eyeshadow. Red and pink tones just make me look like I have an eye infection, lol
Thanks for crediting Whitney Hedrick. That woman has saved my wallet and I've been wanting to see Indian RU-vidrs talk bout it. Thanks to you and Shweta Vijay for talking bout this!! People, you need to watch these three women's content, they are bomb and informative!! That being said, I agree with everything that you've said and would like to add liquid highlighters? Ugh. Don't need that. Can I also add those glitter filled peel off masks? Not going to name the brand but I feel like they're gimmicky and those chunky af glitters only clog our drains and cause harm to marine life! You can also mix an active+ your regular moisturiser to make a custom eye cream! Also, lip products can be used on the cheek but for my oily acne prone skin beauties, be a lil careful as it **might** cause acne. An ingredient check on cosdna will be helpful! Thanks! Much love ❤️
Trishala Hansdah I unfollowed all beauty gurus and influencers after I watched the videos by Whitney. I am so glad JG has followed suit. More Indian youtubers need to do this!
God alone knows how many beauty bloggers I have come across who keep on cribbing about all the stuff that u mentioned in this video..every girl should have it and blah blah blah..We just forget the fact that they all get those stuff for free and that's the way they earn..we don't get anything free.. Jovita and Shweta vijay are doing a fabulous job.
Thank you for calling them out on the freebies. One influencer was talking about how she can't live without Clinique moisture surge, while showing a deluxe sample 😜. Btw, the same influencer promotes a different skin care regimen twice a week
Products I cut out/quit buying: 1. Foundation...a dab of concealer blended out works just fine especially if I'm just applying a bunch of powders and colour products on top 2. Eyecream... same reason as you said 3. Highlight...I use champagne eyeshadow instead 4. Eyeshadow palettes...I replace a colour with a single if I run out which other than the allover lid shade I've never had to do in three years. I own two palettes. We need more critical thinking as a consumer! Thanks for this video
I m so proud of myself!i've never buy any of this products.untill today i was sad about it,but now i m soooo happy after watching this jovi❤ Love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩
I have literally never used any of the products you mentioned in your list! I’m a complete minimalist! I always thought these products were redundant and a waste of money! Thanks for making me feel better about myself!
@@samanthaumoren5764 My powder blush lasts me years, so I only need to buy one every two or three years. I have very sensitive skin and I never have trouble using older powder blush.
On the contrary I use only transparent one...and chucked out the black ones....looks natural for daily use and never clumpy at all....and you also get a bit of fluttery effect if it works for you.
I dont think so. Its actually more versatile as it can be used on lashes as well as brows quite subtly. I also use it for baby hairs and flyaways. Ofc it depends on your actual needs but as my lashes and brows are quite thick, regular mascara looks too dramatic on me.
Same i agree with u on the sheetmask one , personally i have never used them but the thought of wasting rs 100 for just 20 min and throwing it kinda makes me sad, instead investing in a good serum that can be used for months is a better option 😬
Really enjoyed this video! This is such an important message. The beauty industry produces so much waste, both physically and financially. The constant buying of products is so so bad for the environment and for our wallets. Don't buy crap!
I love how you mentioned about packaging and makeup wipes. I thought I was the only crazy one feeling guilty about adding more trash to the earth therefore I never buy any form of wet wipes and only buy what I need.
Lipgloss is something I have never bought. I always keep it in the cart only because I feel like I should have atleast one lip gloss being a makeup vlogger/RU-vidr and show it in my videos sometime, but honestly its something I have never owned and I doubt if I would ever get one cause I hardly see myself using it.🤭🤭 also I always use my lipstick as a blush nowadays for everyday looks.🥰
I have the same thoughts....i'hv only use 2sheet masks in my life till now. Becuz I feel it doesn't give any results and wastage of money and also environment...right now 'm proud of myself. And use bamboo or cotton cloth(malmal ka kapda) n microfiber cloth for makeup removal. I feel this little things matters alot, for environment also...
I literally only use 3 products for my makeup, 1. Foundation 2. Eyeshadow pallet (contour, hilighter,eyebrows included ) 3. Lipstick (I'm not a blush person but sometimes I rub the excess lipstick onto my cheeks ) And one foundation powder which is not even my shade (very light for my skin tone) I use it as a concealer sometimes.
Sometimes I even skip cotton and pads with toners. I just pat it into my skin. And I use washable oil removers or makeup removing balms. Wonderful video More people need to know these
I am crying for spending a huge amount of money over sheet masks... Yes you are right.. will definitely stop using those.. some bitter truth u spoke today.. thank you
I think you should do one more video of products that we don't need.. Hair and body products.. I've been thinking of ditching shampoos cz my hair texture changed of late and I'm not sure if it's cz of shampoos .. I have never used shampoos like I use now when I was in school but my hair was so good.. no oiliness and perfect straight.. also the shampoo bottles are too much in my home right now.. thinking about good diy hair cleansers.. Good one Jo!
You do need a good hair cleanser made by a reputed brand. I’m currently loving wella’s volume boost for the oily scalp days and coco soul’s hair cleanser for a mild moisturising wash. DIYs are not a great idea for a hair cleanser because PH of a product matters and you won’t be able to test and perfect it at home unless you are a pharmacist/ chemistry student. Just use a mild cleansing shampoo. Also everyone’s hair texture changes over the years due to aging hormones etc. this is normal. Don’t worry. You may want to reduce heating products/ hair coloring etc and use a good conditioner with amodemithicone after shampoo. You may also want to read about hair porosity and choose your conditioner accordingly.
I only shampoo once or twice a month. I have to disagree with the other commenter and say that DIY stuff can be incredible. I do most of my hair washing with powdered herbs, and it works beautifully. That won't be the case with everyone's skin or hair, of course, so your milage may very. But there's no harm in experimenting. Also, unless you're using a shampoo with sulfates in it, which is generally really drying, you should not be using a conditioner with amidimethicone... that will build up over time and cause you problems.
Maybe you don’t have any under eye problem but it’s reeaaally good for those who actually has really dry skin or dark circles under the eyes. Everything else I totally agree with you❤️
Dr dray mentioned in one of her videos that eye creams and neck creams even are actually a gimmick and a hyped up marketing product. Your normal moisturiser will do the same job as that product. Also we need to stop buying: 1. Blackhead removing strips and peel off masks because they do more harm than good to the skin and don’t really pull out the back head. What you actually see is sebum which will form within 2- 3 hours again. 2. Regular Hyaluronic acid serums because they don’t really hydrate the skin as much as it’s shown by the brands. Just use a good moisturiser like Etude House Soon Jung or Avene Hydra cleanance. 3. We need to stop buying a lipstick in every color possible. Instead mix your lipsticks and make the shade you desire and SAVE MONEY because cmon, it’s going to expire before you can completely use it. Can’t think of more at the moment. And also it’s called milia. Pretty sure others have already mentioned it in the comments below.
Thank you for crediting Whitney and Shweta Vijay. I’m so happy Shweta had the guts to call out sheet mask/ miscellar water and I’m happy you supporting this.
Subscribed after watching this because i love when people are real about this stuff. Of course i love makeup but sometimes you just dont need to buy another product. Thanks for reinforcing my no-buy!
You can even use an eyeshadow as a powder blush as they are essentially the same thing as you can even use powder blush as eyeshadow and one thing people need to stop stocking up on is highlighter as you only need 1 that matches or close matches your skin tone
I usually feel stressed after seeing these pretty girls using so many different products on their faces because I know I am never going to have all that budget, space, time and skill. Thanks for this stress buster video 😊
Thinking about how much money I've spent on sheet masks makes me cringe 😭 I always had a feeling they did nothing to my skin anyway. Thanks for talking about these products though!!
I personally like the look of colored glosses for the daily wear, but even with that, I don’t see the need of more than 3-4 varied shades. Also, I enjoy a powder blush because I just don’t like the texture of a cream, but I don’t need 50 because they all end up looking the same. When I travel, I take a small face palette which doubles as my eyeshadow palette, 4 brushes, beauty blender, concealer, foundation, powder, mascara, a gloss, lipstick, lip/eyeliner, and can rev it up as much as anyone who packs a full kit. I used to be one of those people and I found my large kit SO overwhelming and unnecessary. Thank you for this video!!
The contour makes shadows on your face so it has to be cool tone..and the bronzer gives warmth on your face so it has to be warm tone..but yeah if you put one on top of the other is pointless and wrong
Please do a tutorial if the hairstyle you have in the video. I have short hair, and I can’t ever get this kinda great curls that you and Priyanka Chopra have!! Please do it!!
1. Definitely with you on the face wipes and Micellar water. I prefer the cleansing oil 100%. I still purchase them BUT only because I get them practically free, less then $1.00. I’m a crazy coupon lady so I refuse to pay full price for a ton of my products lol. 2. Highlighterssssss now I definitely own a bunch of highlighters but that’s only because I have makeup subscriptions... IPSY!! I’m new to makeup so in the beginning I bought some powder highlighters and I realized very quickly that I didn’t like them lol. So I have different color pressed powder highlighters. I think the Huda Beauty highlighter palette is absolutely amazing and I got it in my Ipsy bag. I seriously carry that around because I have different shades in it and it’s pretty compact. 3. I’m guilty of using sheet masks but I aonlh use them, because I have a ton. I agree with you 100% with the waste of product and packaging. I wish Ipsy would stop sending them but that seems to be the thing with all these different subscription services. 4. I’m a new subscriber so forgive me if you already did this but you should make a video on the different subscription services. I have every Ipsy service but I know there are people in the would with boxycharm, Ipsy, fabfitfun, Sephora and all lol. I’m guilty but I’ve woken up and will correct my wrongs lmao.
The blush technique doesnt work for me as i get bumps in my cheeks if i use the lipsticks.. I also have severe dark circles under eye and the best "moisturising" cream i have found so far is missha's MISA GEUM SUL GIYEON korean product. I recommend to anyone who is struggling to find THE ONE for under the eyes!😊
Cecile Marie Sybico well actually lips products are meant for lips not cheeks! I had the same thinking until my clear cheeks got rashes! Now I use liquid blush that’s amazing.
@@oxide5749 I usually use powder blush or a lip & cheek tint. I do have a friend who uses her lipstick instead of blush sometimes and she doesn't break out.
So glad I found you as a scientist in beauty I teach a lot of this on my channel especially about women using I creams and thinking that it’s the next best thing to change wrinkles etc. on the face the moment you stop using it your skin goes right back to what it was. Eye creams are cosmetics they’re not drugs anything that alters an individual physically must be approved by the FDA as a drug which cosmetics are not. Really great video
agreeing with the blush thing✋ also, it frees your from having to use a brush for the application ( how often do we clean our brushes anyway?) going with my fav lipstick with clean fingers does pretty much the same job✔️
See now if you have a microscopic view of everything then yea there is no perfect skin. Otherwise blemish free , even skin tone, free of blackets and whitets, not too oily not too dry skin is still considered perfectly beautiful skin.
I agree with entire list except for the primer... It can be skipped by those who have flawless skin, but usually primer if applied before foundation helps with open pore proB and longer makeup stay.. Concealer can be replaced with two shade lighter foundation but again these products are not required of someone have flawless skin.
The way you're rooting for other influencers... You're a darling jovita ♥️♥️♥️ Edit: are you talking about eye styes that you get because of clogged eye lash follicles due to excessive and dirty makeup
using sheet mask regularly for about a week when my skin breaks out or in really bad condition due to certain reasons (like having to use hard water to cleanse the face when travelling or hormonal imbalance from periods or anything else) once in a while actually really helps me. also i'm a blush junkie as in, i need every shade of blush i can find and since i only wear lipgloss i can't use those as blush. and since i only use lipgloss i need different colored lip gloss and not just one clear one 😂😂 besides these three, the rest make sense to me
Agree on some things. I find that using a toner opposed to micellar water helps stop my skin from breaking out. Also primers tend to stop my skin from getting excessively oily and help my makeup last the whole day. Otherwise oil breaks through every foundation I've tried even with powder. The bumps most people get around their eyes are generally Milia.
Very very true..!! I also in using the makeup products in multiple ways..and trying to keep products minimalist. Keep going girl.. I love the way u do it..!!❤❤
When you told the thing about that unnecessary coloured lipglosses, I felt you 😂 . One clear gloss and we’re good to go !!! Love love love watching your videos!!!! Thank you so much for helping us out really grateful!
Yo!! Seriously... the respect I had for you just got multiplied into 1000 folds! All these products I was considering to buy. I will now think twice or thrice before buying a product. Buy I had the same question about the eye cream.. "Why cant I just use the face moisturizer?". Thank you so much for the video! You are such an unique RU-vidr I have come across. And RU-vid needs more content creators like you! Love you, girl!!
Dude!!! Love how logical, scientific n honest ur, how real n fun u seem without the forced youtuber energy, love how fluent n verbose ur n still say "throwingness" n ur urself n u actually make sense! Been following the beauty community for years never i thought I'd find someone like this in india! Stay awesome
I felt personally attacked by some many of these... 🙈 thank you,though! I’ve been in serious need of a wake up call! And because of that,you’ve got a new subscriber 😘
i love eyeshadow primer tho. sometimes concealer will crease on my lids if my eyelids get very oily that day (always during summer). eyeshadow primer never creases for me. but i only use eyeshadow primer, i've never heard people use concealer AND eye primer 🤔
Even a PawPaw cream works wonders for the lips! I, however, do feel you could help us by putting up videos that do not use these products anymore, right? I am assuming it won't be completely possible. Anddddd the PAC lip creme is in a plastic bottle or a glass one? I also think you could help us by doing a video on plastic-free, environment-friendly makeup+packaging skincare routine + makeup routine. Lastly, been waiting for your review on Good Molecules so that I can decide whether to buy them or not. Eagerly waiting for it, I'm sure you've been seeing sooooooo many messages from me asking about the same.
Brilliant video! Very practical, never bfre have i come across a beauty youtuber who was so honest! Thank u! Also, ladies, please please start using a MENSTRUAL CUP. Hope Jovita takes a note of this and makes a video. XO
Yes, this is so true. Why to purchase different products when we can use only one product as a multipurpose. Like, lipstick as a blush and eyeshadow palette as a highlighter, bronzer and for eyebrows too and ofcourse as eyeshadows.😁
some issues: 1) sheet masks are different than serums, the stuff inside isn’t an actual serum, or else that’d be bad for your skin, serums are supposed to be used in small amounts. serums are highly concentrated and to much is bad. so no one go buy a serum and use it as a mask please lol. 2) some lipsticks can be used as some blush, but they won’t perform or last as well. and metallic and liquid lipstick that dry matte are definitely not good idea at all, they won’t blend or look good in general. some regular bullet lipsticks are also too waxy and don’t blend. 3) eye creams are actually important, not all are the same. regular moisturizers and lotions aren’t ideal for the under eye. that area of skin is VERY sensitive. some are crappy some are great. i genetically have under eye bags and i have dry under eyes. i use the tatcha eye cream, and it was great for me. 4) primers are essentials for some people. for normal skin/ clear skin people typically don’t need it. but for someone like myself, i have dry and acne prone skin, i absolutely need it and the foundation/ concealer/ powder won’t look good will look incredibly dry and it clogs my popes then. 5) you can you concealer as an eye primer. never use both. but eyeprimers are better, they help the shadow blend and perform better, and unlike concealer it prevents your eyelids from being stained. you should at least use something though if you want nice eyeshadow. 6) micellar water isn’t a cleaner. it’s a toner or a way to remove makeup. in a skin care routine there should be: makeup removal cleanser (abt 2 times a week at most) exfoliating toner serum eye cream moisturizer
@@jennnnnnn13 Yeah, I've tried. Any concealer will crease within 2 hours as they're still cream based. The only eye primer which worked for me is Urban Decay original formula, it's sticky texture make the eyeshadow last up to 10 hours.
Use a liquid concealer instead of a cream one. I have oily lids too due to my medications and I use the Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer, been using it for almost ten years it has never failed me
I’m with you on all the products except the sheet mask , for me the sheet masl is important especially when its cold it makes my skin really good and bore less skin
I haven't watched that video, but I think she means you should have a highlighter palette... But once u have a good one, you don't need to keep buying more and more with different colors etc.
@@roluthetalkingindianringne3376 Maybe.. but in this vdo, she says you don't even actually need a highlighter as your skin secretes oil anyways. So you can give it a pass. Not totally too important to apply it. But in the April vdo, she says you MUST HAVE. A highlighter. So even if it's one highlighter, you should have it. But anyways, don't really mean to stress much on this. Just that it so happened, I found out her contradictory statements so thought of just pointing it out once. 😁
