Another tip for Mascara streaking would be to add on a layer of waterproof mascara as the very last step. It will wash off easily, since you have the normal mascara underneath, but it will help your normal mascara to stay put even if you have teary eyes or allergies like me :)
Hi I'm Loretta De Los Rios using Frank's account to make this comment with his permission. 🤲🙏🎶⚘🎻🎵 I dont see that happening meaning "it will wash out easy!" I'm sure you have to use a waterproof eye remover. Unless you use a cleanser! But even if you do! you still have to wipe it down with a eye makeup remover. I personally do not use a cleanser to wash out mascara from my eyes. I never did that as a younger women and upto my mature age & my eye area is in good condition! I recently did try to wash out my mascara with a cleanser made for makeup removing but I did not like how my eye area felt! It irritated it. It's better to take your time to remove your eye makeup. I like one that has cucumber extract.
@@frankvelez4997 Hi Loretta! Well, of course, that depends. If you wash your mascara off with just water then it is technically "not easy to wash off". However, if you wash your face with a normal face wash or even micellar water (I personally use a mild gel cleanser to wash my face) then you do not have to go in with an oil makeup remover or anything else. Warm water and gel cleanser does the trick for me :) Sorry that you had a bad experience, I would say it's just a matter of finding the right one for your face which can take a while.
The witch hazel toner also is great too refresh under the breasts in the summer months or not in the summer months or if you’re just sweating or if you’ve just showered and you get somewhere and you’re sweating. I keep it in my car… it’s a game changer!
My best hack is using a clear eyebrow gel, the best one is benefit's brow setter, to put the final coat onto lashes after mascara to prevent it from smudging or flaking. It also works to set the curl and separate the clumps!
Abbey, would you please do a video on body sunscreens that don’t ruin your clothes? (And your body sunscreen routine for wearing cute dresses and tanks and such!!) It can feel impossible to wear my cute summer clothes without getting them covered in sunscreen stains that need to be dry cleaned
Evy sunscreen from Sweden is a good splurge.($30 for 6oz foam canister+ extra for shipping) It has to be imported from the U.K or another EU country. Otherwise, for a (U.S) lotion sunscreen Banana Boat SPF 50+ Light as Air. (~$13, 6oz, or less if you have a BOGO free/half off coupon available) It has fragrance though it's less noticeable if you have a genuine allergy or sensitivity it might not work. It's the best cheap drugstore sunscreen that isn't tacky or staining, in my experience, your mileage may vary. I recently tried the Avene Sport Fluid spf 50+ ($19+ shipping, 7 oz) , also a winner but pricey. It's my "I need to go hiking and get to a restaurant during a day trip/vacation and don't want to pack anything else.) Mineral sunscreens have always stained clothes and certain vitamin/antioxidant additives tend to change colors dyes in fabric when they oxidize. Try a very boring one without so many additives, listed below. A sport sunscreen, while WAY less comfortable to wear, generally doesn't rub off on clothes. Coppertone SPF 70 kids water play sunscreen ~$8 average retailer Fragrance ~$8 Hawaii Tropics SPF 50 Make it Matte (available on Amazon, haven't seen it in stores) Has Aluminum Starch and Cornstarch to wick up sweat region Beach Republic Clear UV Gel spf 100 (no fragrance in facial version, 3oz) regular version fragranced ~$14 body 5oz, $14 face 3 oz SPF 50 Body sunscreen Eucerin - ~$14.50 Has antioxidants for skincare but doesn't transfer, feels thicker than the facial sunscreen because it has anti-rub and water resistance. It's more moisturizing than most of the sunscreens on this list but doesn't seem to cause any color changes on either swimwear or regular clothes. La Roche-Posay spf 60 kids lotion, cheaper than the spf 50 for adults. Still tacky, and has worse skin feel than the Eucerin spf 50 sunscreen. Doesn't pill on reapplication but doesn't feel worth the price. (`$23-$29, total for 1 bottle, 5 oz. Eucerin is $15-20) Sum Bum SPF 70, very emollient, skip if you're oily or in a humid state. Has some anti-oxidants for UV stabilization (Vitamin E) but has not potential for oxidization. Alba Botanical spf 60 spray lotion Fragrance free and available at Costco or Sam's Club ~$19 for a 6oz, 2 pack last time I bought one. $24 on Amazon Banana Boat spf 100+ spray or the lotion - least enjoyable to apply, but best sun protection out of ALL the other sunscreens listed, relative to it's price. $8 on Amazon for 4oz lotion and $6-12 for the spray version. For some reason the spf 100 doesn't have fragrance but the other one, the spf 50 lotion, does. Finally, if your budget is tight, Nature's Apothecary spf 30 powder available on Amazon. ~$14 and you have to buy the cheapest sunscreen available. (UP and Up $4-5, 10 oz, or Walmart, No Fragrance in either) -Can be used to pat down the sticky feeling/transfer risk as it mattifies whatever sunscreen you are using. Key note: It is an untinted zinc powder. If you have to apply more than once, I would dust it on after rubbing in either your lotion or spray sunscreen. Without titanium dioxide, the zinc doesn't leave as much cast and won't give flash back when you are taking pictures, but it is going to leave SOME trace on the skin.
I use Hawaiian Tropic Antioxidant Plus every day all over my chest, arms and legs and my clothes look fine. It is a chemical sunscreen so its clear. Walgreens brand Hydrating sunscreen is also excellent and does not stain. These are not goos for the face since my eyes burn horribly but they are great for the body.
I have tried to identify which exact sunscreen ingredients cause the orange staining, so that I can look at labels and know…if anyone finds out, please share!!🤲🏻
Besides being an astringent, witch hazel is mildly antibacterial -- so it probably helps to kill some of the odor-causing bacteria. That's why salycilic acid and other BHA/AHA products can help with underarm smell, too! Whenever I put on an SA serum I always put a little on my pits too.
Yes, or any acne cleanser with benzoyl peroxide. I learned this from Dr. Dray. I wash my underarms in the shower with it and go at least 24 hours with no armpit odor.
Would just straight AHA or AHA/PHA toners work? I don't hsve a BHA currently, I'm actually waiting on my COSRX to come in from Amazon on the 27th and it is only the 10th. Ugh. I do have the Thayers She has but I assumed the BHA would work better. Yes, learned it from DR Dray recently (glycolic acid?) But haven't gotten to try it yet. Or would steidex pads with SA work better? Coukd probably steal my husband's stridex. Lol. I got the Thayer for my 3 yr old to tske off her sunscreen "like mommy" when I'm doing my skincare, I mix it with water just to make sure it doesn't hurt her skin and it seems to get the sunscreen off for her.
@@funsizedi88 Yes, AHA will work too! PHA might be too gentle, but you could try it. I think AHA or BHA will work better than Witch Hazel since they are generally stronger.
For taming flyaways, it actually can definitely can get even more "hacky" and easier than that: just use a clear eyebrow gel (or even a tinted one if it matches your hair color), and brush onto the flyaway hairs. Muti-tasking. Fewer products to buy, less expensive.
I use hair gel to keep brows in place. To be more specific got2be glued gel. I love it works better then any brow gel I’ve ever used brows stay in place all day.
Yeah, love the witchazel hack. I keep a pack of the Thayers witchazel wipes in my bag to freshen up. Works great. I also use them on my feet if I'm wearing sandals that cause my feet to sweat. If your hair is oily and you don't have dry shampoo or it's just around the hairline use a tiny bit of setting powder right at the roots with a makeup brush and it instantly freshens and volumnizes hair.
Great hack for quick armpits refreshment when you’re outside and most likely don’t have a giant bottle of toner with you 🤣 is to use hand sanitizer. It kills the bacteria which is what causes your armpits to smell in the first place. Sweat itself doesn’t have a smell. 😉 Also the robe hair trick would be the explained the easiest is to just say you’re braiding the hair the French style
Stick sunscreen is great along my grey hairline. it prevents my tinted products from discoloring my hair. Also good in the part of your hair and back of the neck if your hair is up.
You pronounced my name perfectly! Thanks for sharing my tutorial within your description bar Abbey! I discovered your channel earlier this year and have enjoyed all your tips and tricks! ☺️🙌🏼
Stridex pads under the arms is the best refresh. Lasting deodorizing too. For bronzing, using too dark tinted sunscreens (if you're lighter skinned) is a great hack too.
If you’re really fair, that’s almost every tinted sunscreen. 😆 I use the Australian Gold in fair as an all over bronzer, then a lighter tone up cream in the middle of my face. ☺️
Yes! I learned this from Dr. Dray. I use the Amazon version of Panoxyl. I like it way better. I use whatever is left on my fingers from when I use it on my face in the shower, and rub in under my arms and rinse before I turn the water off. Works SOOO well!
I use the caramelized vanilla and macadamia scent mist from SDJ and it is amazing. My boyfriend can’t get enough of that scent when I wear it. I actually find it to last long on me but the creams last longer. I have loved everything from that brand!
For people with acne and oily skin that want a matte sunscreen, i use PanOxyl Oil Control Daily Mattifying Lightweight Facial Moisturizer, SPF 30, Shine Control. its awesome!!
You’re the first person to recommend stick sunscreen on the eyes. I searched for a sunscreen for the eyes that didn’t sting or make your eyes blurry. I finally tried CerVe stick spf 50. What a difference, feels so soothing and doesn’t run. Good idea. By the way, The hair mist is out of stock, so bummed ☹️ love your videos thanks.
Bun twists are useful for high buns too! They're better for tighter buns and there's a learning curve, I think, but the benefit is that the twist(s) disappear into the hair.
The robe hack, it's easier to just use the belt as the 3rd hair piece in a normal braid, you just add the extra sections when you want. it's literally the same thing as taking a piece and then bringing it back
I have questions that I don't think were addressed! Maybe you can help me :) #1--Do you do it to wet or dry hair? #2--Do you sleep in it?/How long do you leave it in? #3--How do you secure the ends?
Hello Abbey. Im 34 years old and have been usingTretinoin for 17 years. I am in a child free marriage so never had a reason to stop. When I first started Tretinoin I went about it just like you did. I had this slow progression of sensitivity from foundation with fragrance to later sunscreen. It was only after a while I found out that the strength is not for me, some people never build a tolerance to Tretinoin to its highest potency and it will cause adverse effect as dermatitis continues to progress. I lowered the strength and I was no longer sensitive to anything yet still had top results. I am also not the only one who went through that, a youtube Jennifer Myers also in her 30's with over a decade experience with tretinoin has similar insight. Anyway, thought I'd share its worth a thought. Love youre channel, thank you.
Oh man, Abbey coming with hacks everybody! Using a foundation or concealer for a bronzer is so smart. You're also not going to run into the problem of your bronzer picking up your coverage product underneath because you'll be adding coverage! I'm going to try that bun trick too! I actually have a pressed mineral powder from Physicians Formula that is SPF 3o. I replaced the little brush with a powder puff. It's great for touching up oily areas while reapplying some SPF coverage and so easy to toss in my bag. Adding that Vaseline jelly stick to my shopping list right now...
Thanks! My best hack is the #touchbeauty face roller. I would say it is my favorite 'face gym' in 2022. The microcurrent face roller helped me a lot in boosting collagen. I do notice that my jawline is much better. Hoping that this continues!!
For the high bun, have you given “spin pins” a try? They achieve the same benefit, but you can’t see the them. They supposedly replace about 20 Bobby pins. Since you have long hair, you’ll want a longer spin pin
For oily skin, after applying sunscreen, use a small piece of parchment paper and pat your face with it, cheap and effective way to get rid of the extra oil.
If you wear eyeshadow and mascara still transfers, put a tiny tiny bit of translucent powder on the tips of your lashes after mascara , that will set the mascara for the rest of the day.
I'm super passionate about that Neutrogena mineral stick. Game changer for me. I use it on my eyes every day to prevent burn, but also because I have thicc eyelids and also wear glasses. If I have to wait for my lotion sunscreen to dry down naturally without goobering the insides of my glasses, I have to go without seeing for 20 minutes, which isn't convenient before work (or ever). The stick improves that by 80%. Also, i live in Denver and frequently go to the mountains. The change in altitude means that bottles of sunscreen lotion can explode and make a mess, so they need to be carried in an extra ziplock. Now, I apply my fav sunscreen at home, and take the stick to the mountains for re-ups with no fear of mess. This is also my fav to throw in my purse for reapplication on the go for every day. Not my first choice sunscreen ever, but very useful nonetheless. Love it.
The. Sol de Janeiro Fragrance Mist: has gone up in price to 35.00 a bottle. Prices are so crazy at this point that I think waiting for them to come down might be better. Hopefully, all prices will come down again one day soon.
I have been using the robe curl wrong!! I thought the pieces needed to be smaller when I was wrapping it, but watching you do larger pieces makes me realize I am making it unnecessarily complicated. Thank you for sharing!
For smelly hair and in between washes, I use AG Remedy Spray. Its expensive but it stops the itch and is a fresh scent. I stopped using dry shampoo and my scalp balanced out. Also the mane choice makes a scalp spray that has prickly pear in it that smells divine!
I dropped my iPad and ran to try the hair hack immediately. It is LIFE CHANGING. I feel zero pulling or discomfort anywhere unlike when I use a ponytail holder, no matter how careful I am. This is the best beauty hack for me, hands down---thank you SO MUCH for sharing!!!!!👍👍❤️👍❤️👍❤️
I’ve been using your high bun clip trick for months since I saw your video a while ago on IG I think when you talked about that. I’ve been doing it almost every day
Thank you Abbey. The bun. Yay. You touched on the bonzer thing. Yay! I was looking into this. How about a bronzer video?!? And the last hack, would love to see the results! Great video 👍🏼 thank you
I am Brazilian, and I find it cute when I hear you talking about Sol de Janeiro and its ingredients, like leite de coco (which means coconut oil, by the way). 😘
@@lauragoreni3020 yeah, actually you're right! I'm so into coconut oil, that my brains and keyboard corrector automatically complete this way when I start writing "coconut". So, leite=milk, and oil=óleo. Either way, it's cute to hear.
Lol, I know you are young and I am old, but I dang near spit my pizza out when I heard your mascara "hack"...😄 That is the way I have been applying my eye shadow since I started wearing makeup, YEARS ago. 🙂 Actually, back in the day, most eye shadow pallets, the skintone shade was almost twice as big as the other colors, because you used more of it. Also, using a eye shadow primer, also helps with mascara issues. Just thought I'd share that info. 😘
Rope-Tie method is similar to braiding. I will try this with my robe sash. Thanks for all the great hacks. I use that same Witch Hazel and I will try the underarm hack 👍
Underarm hack recommendations.... Advanced Clinicals hemp oil and vitamin e toner spray.... It's not oily it's a watery face refresher spray... I use it after being in the sun or tanning bed (I know the risk) its not only soothing it actually acts like deodorant
Using witch hazel on freshly shaved underarms will probably sting. Otherwise, I like your hack idea and will definitely try it. I vouch for the use of sunscreen sticks around eyes and on target areas for extra coverage. I was desperate to find an SPF product that doesn’t sting my eyes, and this idea worked well for me. For sunscreen reapplication with makeup on, I use a powder SPF. I just have to make sure I don’t try to apply it on a sweaty face. That can look awful. I hadn’t thought about using the stick SPF on my ears. Great idea! Love the bun hack. Hair in a high bun (a la the ballerina bun) always gives me a headache.
She never mentioned putting witch hazel on freshly shaved underarms. She was talking about situations where your deodorant is starting to wear off and you need to remove the old layer of deodorant to apply a new layer.
So fun! Question: what actually is the point of the robe tie thing? Is that an actual hairstyle? Is it for sleeping? I’m confused. Never seen it before!
I can’t wear shadow because of autoimmune dry eyes. However, I use a tiny bit of my setting powder just above the lash line. Does the same thing for mascara as using shadow and no irritation throughout the day. 🤗
Awesome 👏 and I am now a follower. Thank you for this opportunity to get the help that’s available to all ladies and men.❤ you’re a beautiful sweetheart!
Oh my goodness we needed this sunscreen stick tip that doesn’t burn eyes! There were a few of us that commented about our burning eyes on the last sunscreen video you did. I hope they see this also! ❤️❤️❤️
Sadly, Tan Lines Mist was limited edition, so it is not available anymore …but…I do own their permanent collection mists and you are correct, they are amazing 🤩
Instead of using an eyeshadow on your lids (to stop streaking mascara), I've been using a powder foundation with SPF (currently it cosmetics w/SPF 50). Not only does it cover up red eyelids & tiny blood vessels (you're still too young to understand) but I get the benefit of the SPF as well. For my bronzer, I bought a few shades of face powder from Shop Miss A so I can experiment without paying for expensive products. I found my perfect shade and it only cost me $3. I've gifted the other two (one was too light to make a difference and the other too warm)! Great tips - keep 'em coming!!!
The shadow to prevent mascara smudging hack has never worked for me, if anything it almost makes it worse sometime? I don't even know how that's possible, but if I set down a light shadow in that area I am almost guaranteed more smudging. I have very deepset, hooded eyes though, so I basically have to use the most budge-proof mascaras or it's a mess
im going to try the 2nd hack for my under eyes(lower lashes) I love my ILIA Fullest Volume Mascara but it smudges under my lower lashes so fast compared to others
