Hey guys! We are back with another advent! A couple apologies: The lighting is kind of strange in this video, everything looks a bit washed out, and I FORGOT THE PRODUCT OVERVIEW😩 Im so sorry, I totally forgot to ad in the footage at the end, I will make sure to remember in the future! Let me know what you guys think of this calendar! Should I try to get it before it sells out again this year? Let me know! Love ya💖

Would you consider doing a make-up Russian roulette? Where you do a blind pick from all of the advant calender make-up that you got? Separate all the different things so you get one of everything to make a full face of make-up and do a make-up look! I think that would be a VERY entertaining video.

In the UK the saying “the morning after the night before” tends to mean the morning after you’ve been out and drank too much. Basically you’ve got a hangover. Cosy with an S is UK spelling.
@lethfuil9 ай бұрын
Since I'm not a native english speaker (or writer), I use different spellings. Always "cosy" thought, since "cozy" just looks to me like it would sound like "kotzie". And "Kotze" is vomit. 😅

We just... we think language is really, really fun, tbh. And yeah, he's taught me that basically all the words that I feel confused about whether there should be a z or an s, is American vs UK spelling. Americans like the letter z. Cozy, realize, finalize, etc. UK just writes cosy, realise, finalise, etc.

@@HadridarMatramen Yes, I know about the z/s thing, but I'm super certain that there's a couple of words I somehow always end up writing with the american spelling, even though I usually use the english version (same with o/ou) for most things, since that what I've learnt in school (and I do prefer it too). BUT, I was never really aware, until some cool person, much like you now, explained that to me. So, thank you! ^^

We've been getting thunderstorms in PA since last night and I love it. 😊 FYI, things that damage your skin barrier include over-exfoliating (overuse or a bad reaction to AHAs, BHAs, or physical exfoliation), sun exposure, over-washing, a bad reaction to anything you put on your face, too dry of an environment or exposure to severe weather. If your skin is "jacked up" you want to focus on gentle cleaning, moisturization, avoid ingredients that can be irritating (exfoliating acids, retinol, fragrance). Ingredients like ceramides and hylauranic acid can help with skin repair.

Please please please try the JVN serum for your hair! Ive been meaning to mention this brand to you thinking you'd like it. That serum saved my hair. Brought back moisture to my scalp and hair, and stopped the crazy weird hairloss that was happening. And now my hair is growing back. I now use JVN products exclusively and have zero problems with my hair, which is a big deal. You can use a small amount of the serum or quite a bit, depends on how thirsty your hair is. You'll feel the difference once you start using it. Girl seriously, it works wonders... softening, helping with frizz, and overall health.
