Summer Glow-up Beauty Haul

[@jingorokitty]

Always great to hear from you, Gerry! I'm a long time follower too. I hope the challenges you've been dealing with are finally starting yo ease up, and that you have a great summer break. Looking forward to hearing your reviews on these new products!

I started watching during your beauty blog days 💗 I love that you're still here. It's lovely checking in on you.

Ahh, I remember those beauty blogger days so well! The first video of yours I watched was about the differences between Korean and Western BB creams, and I ended up buying the Skin79 and Mizon ones because of your reviews! 😂 I never liked Cetaphil either-I thought it was way too slimy, and I felt the same about the moisturizers. After COVID and all the price hikes, I started looking for drugstore makeup options or just going makeup-free. Lately, I’ve been loving the Maybelline Fit Me Matte + Poreless Foundation. It often goes on sale at SDM for $8.99, which is a great deal! I also really like the Milani Conceal + Perfect Foundation, which sometimes goes on sale at Superstore for $10.99, so that’s not bad either. I haven’t tried press-on nails, but I’m a huge fan of nail stickers! They last pretty well when I use a top coat, though I do find myself picking at them sometimes. If I can resist the urge, they stay on really nicely! Glad to hear you're enjoying summer break! :)

CeraVe PM is my holy grail! Been using it for 10 years and it has never failed me.

At least I'm FINALLY getting on this! It's surprising lightweight but in a good way.

Gerry, I remember very well your beauty blog and beauty content here, on KZbin 🤩 This is how I found you - I was looking for Tony Moly's Luminous Pure Aura CC Cream review (bought it and loved it!), your review was very helpful, detailed and informative and you came across as a lovely and very friendly girl so I subscribed to your channel and have been here since 🥰 Have just checked - that was 11 years ago! You have changed, obviously 🤭but stayed true to yourself and your content is very cohesive. I love coming here! 😘

[@WeekendsWithG]

Oh thank you! THAT is a very long time! Life takes us in all kinds of different directions and I'm grateful you've stuck around through all the detours.

Yes that PM moisturiser is gem! I have been using it over 5 years, jusr pair with a thicker cream in winter ❤😊

[@WeekendsWithG]

Good to know! I just tried it yesterday and it seems just enough for summer weather. What do like to layer with it when it gets drier?

[@alicexkelvin6662]

@@WeekendsWithG i do either cerave or cetaphil cream in the big jar, cetaphil is definitely a lot more heavy duty 😘

15:59 is this normal sound level? Just wondering if you get used to it over time? Moved in new place has so much trqffic car noise not used to it

[@WeekendsWithG]

I didn't even notice it until you pointed it out and I specifically listened to the video again so I guess the answer is... yes. It can get pretty noisy if you live closer to the city and/or near conveniences (shops/businesses/restaurants etc). What actually annoys me more is the construction noise. They are putting up lots of new high rises everywhere nowadays and THAT is way more annoying.

[@booknerdcatlady]

I actually thought it was the sound of my own neighborhood until I saw your comment 😅. I live in a busy city too, you get used to it and don't even notice after a while.

Lash lift how much is reasonable price? Can you not wear mascara with it?

[@WeekendsWithG]

I think it depends on who you are going to and exactly what type of lash lift you are getting. I tried the Yumi lash lift which was about 130-145 but you can get a keratin lift for much cheaper (70-90). If you find somewhere that's doing a promo or a place that's starting out, it's likely even lower...but of course knowing they may have less experience etc. Yes you can wear mascara with it, it just means my lashes STAY curled and I don't have to use waterproof mascara and deal with that whole bit.

[@xoxjelloxox]

@@WeekendsWithG can I ask what difference between Yumi lash and other lash lift?
