Testing New Skincare YOU and TikTok Made Me Buy - Fenty Skin, Pat McGrath Labs, Keys Soulcare

[@kaithdvd]

I love how James and Robert are just gradually adapting their personality from their joint channel into their main channel. It's kinda like they're thinking "they already know what we're weird so we might as well let loose on our own channels"

[@mind-of-neo]

I would definitely agree that the cookies n clean face mask seems a bit gimmicky for Fenty Skin, but it looks like a cool product! All the little gimmicks in skincare products also help motivate those with clinical depression, adhd, and other motivation-affecting disorders to use products, so sometimes they have a use beyond sales-boosting. :)

Excellent point. As someone who lives with PTSD, I am a sucker for cute or fun products, applicators, etc. I will also add my own stickers or transfer a product to a cute bottle or something. My nighttime skin care routine is absolutely for my mental health as well as aesthetic or physical. Maybe even most importantly for my mental state.

[@Mamado88]

You just hit the nail on the head as to why I couldn’t figure out why I’m always able to force myself to do my skincare twice a day with my high end products that the packing feels luxurious but anytime I try with budget items I loose motivation quickly and i end up wasting it all, and I’m 33 I’ve done that cycle many times as I have ADHD.

The Pat McGrath essence was sent to my daughter in PR and she couldn't use it! It irritated her cystic acne and made her miserable. 😔 But...she gave it to me and I absolutely love it! My skin is soft and glowy and feels so fancy!❤

[@quinlantaylor04]

A good way to keep clay masks from drying out you skin is mixing in some hydrating serum or essence in with it before you apply it to your face. This is also a great way to use products you didn’t particularly care for or are on the verge of expiring. Also the isntree hyaluronic acid essence has that same type of milky texture and gives you a nice glow just like the Pat McGrath.

I’m so happy that you mentioned the sunscreen for the under eyes. I’m so curious about this since I have very sensitive eyes. I’ll have to try it out!

[@monicamcdonald5474]

It's funny seeing you do a video on products that we influenced YOU to buy. You have no idea how many products you have convinced me to buy! A whole suite of Glow Recipe, The Ordinary, and so much more including the wonderful Dr Ceuracle kombucha tea essence, tatcha and so many others. Love you so much!

[@noaamouyal1395]

PSA: Pat McGrath often has sales - sometimes even 30% off. Since this is a new product, the essence probably won't be in the next sale but it could very well be in the sale after that. So if anybody is curious about the essence, I would wait for the sale (that's my plan anyway).

[@ryuredwings447]

As someone who has been wondering how to protect my eye area since I've started using a retinol eye cream, I'm so glad you showed off the Hello Sunday cream! I immediately ran to grab it, along with the primer. These two products are exactly what I've been looking for!

Ohhh that under eye sunscreen sounds perfect for minimal makeup days....and not too bad at $18, it would definitely last all summer💛

[@LL-zb3dl]

I like first impressions of skin care, because this was fun to watch and it's good to hear about first applications and learning curves, as well as things like fragrance and texture that you can know immediately. I'd love to hear how the eye spf works out for you!

[@monicamcdonald5474]

James, you should follow your own advice for your dry skin. I'm 62 and if it wasn't for you I would have dry skin but it is very very dewey, soft and plump. My latest purchase on your advice was the Papa Recipe Blemish serum although I have no blemishes I think there are properties that my skin will appreciate. Once again thank you thank you thank you for a perfect complexion 🥰😝

[@misshell2223]

I want that eye cream spf something fierce now!! Every single one I've used stings!!! Thank you so much for this! Greatly appreciate all of the work & dedication you put into these as well as all that your face/skin goes through on a regular!

That Hello Sunday under eye sunscreen looked really exciting! You definitely looked absolutely incredible after it visibly brightened your eye area, i could really use that for my raccoon eyes!

[@akaneakane1969]

I use the Fenty Cookies n Clean as a treat myself time skincare, I love how it doesn't dry me out & satisfies my popping urges for the charcoal granules. Gimmicky maybe but a lot of fun! 😊

I must say I love the line 'progression over perfection because perfection doesn't exist' is just how I am going to live my life from now on. "Welp, that isn't perfect, but is progression because perfection doesn't exist". Yup, that is just a life motto at this point and thank you for bringing that into my life. Did you see Glow Recipe is having a Pride limited edition of the watermelon toner and all proceeds go to LGBTQIA+ (up to $30k). I was about to buy my first full size and this came at the perfect time.

[@jojomarch]

I was wondering if you'd try the Pat McGrath essence, just out of curiosity as it's too pricey. I went from oh god, why do we need an eye sunscreen to *finds it online* in 10 seconds flat lol. Yes please update us on the eye sunscreen!

The Pat McGrath Essence sits so beautifully under my makeup as well, I have found. I have dehydrated skin so I don't mind a bit of slick in my skincare though. My face usually absorbs it pretty well. I used to use Dr. Jart+'s Radiant serum as a makeup base before but this has replaced it.

OH LET ME PLEASE TELL YOU. I adore these products. They are not only just beautiful to collect (if you’re like me, and love a nice cohesive routine) but they smell incredible. I use the Golden Cleanser in the mornings as sort of a basic wake up, the Harmony Mask once a week (it’s more of a luxury but makes my skin so soft and not dried out), the Luminous Exfoliator, which is a powder lactic acid exfoliant which is so nice for a big refresh, and the body creams are amazing too.

I don't know if I have a sensitivity or something, but I find that 2/3 hours after all over sunscreen application, I feel grainy and oily with stinging crying eyes. I have tried sssoooo many face sun screens that claim to be gentle enough to use anywhere and stripped back my morning routine to make sure it's not other products. And it just doesn't work!
