Spring GRWM Makeup Application

in Beauty on 05/17/18

Toronto lifestyle and beauty blogger, Jackie Goldhar, @jackmise, Something About That blog

It’s been over a year since I last shared a video on Instagram or YouTube, so… I thought it was time to give it another go!

If you saw my recent post on Instagram stories, you’d already know this, but last week, I lost my job. As a result, I’ve found myself with some extra time (and creativity) on my hands. I don’t intend to go back to blogging full-time, but I’m fortunate that I have this platform. Without it, I honestly think I would have lost my mind already. Applying for jobs is not fun – and everyone needs a mental break from that during the day!

The other morning when I was about to get ready, inspiration hit to try and shoot a GRWM makeup application video, so I ran with it. It definitely ain’t fancy, but hopefully it’s entertaining in some way. Every time I attempt to create video content, I’m reminded that it is NOT easy! It’s certainly a lot easier to edit a series of still photographs than it is to edit a video. I also don’t have the fancy equipment or a proper working set up, since I haven’t focused much on video. It wasn’t ideal, but I shot this video on my phone, which I placed on a tripod on the ledge of my window. That’s why the lighting is out of whack…and why you can see floating dust particles, LOL.

Some of the products being used in a spring makeup GRWM video

Products Used:

Skin –

  • Guerlain Abeille Royale Youth Watery Oil – This beautiful oil combines the power of a serum, the richness of an oil and the freshness of a lotion. It makes my skin instantly feel bright and fresh, especially when I’m tired.
  • Benefit Cosmetics POREfessional Pearl Primer – A soft, brightening primer, which minimizes the look of pores/fine lines and helps lock in makeup. I really like the hint of pink, but the original formula is great too.
  • Maybelline Super Stay Full Coverage Foundation – This is a great foundation, especially for the price. It truly is full coverage and has a nice staying power.
  • Benefit Cosmetics Boi-ing Hydrating Concealer – While this isn’t my favourite concealer of theirs, I love the easily application (it’s in stick form!) and hydrating formula.
  • Elizabeth Arden High Performance Blurring Loose Powder – I use this powder to help set my makeup, as well as for it’s blurring properties. It helps me create a simple flawless look!
  • Tarte Amazonian Clay Bronzer – …Because I love bronzer and always use more than any real makeup artist would recommend. This one has a gorgeous, natural-looking finish.

Eyes –

  • Lise Watier 5-Colour Eyeshadow Palette – This eyeshadow is highly pigmented and has a rich, creamy powder texture. I received these as a PR-sample, and while these aren’t my “typical” go-to colours, I really like the formula. I’m not a fan of the applicators it comes with, so I recommend using a separate shadow brush.
  • Pixi Beauty Endless Silky Eye Pen – I don’t usually use pencil liner on my top lid, but I do love using it on the bottom. It glides on beautifully and because it’s waterproof, is also long-lasting.
  • Pixi Beauty Black Lacquer Lash Primer – This black lash primer preps, plumps and protects lashes. It also has a curved applicator to help curl lashes before applying mascara.
  • Lise Watier V Element Volcanic Minerals Mascara – This volumizing mascara is formulated with volcanic water, rich in minerals – calcium, magnesium, zinc, copper and silica. Its formula helps to revitalize and protect lashes from external aggressors. Believe it or not, I’ve never used Lise Watier mascaras until recently, but I like this one! It gives my lashes a lot of volume and doesn’t get clumpy or flakey.

Finishing Touches –

  • Benefit Cosmetics GALifornia Blush – One of my favourites for it’s beautiful golden pink colour and subtle grapefruit-y, vanilla scent.
  • NARS Man Ray Highlighter (Similar) – This was a limited edition highlighter for holiday 2017, but I’ve used other NARS highlighters and they’re always beautiful. They last all day too!
  • Benefit Cosmetics Goof Proof Brow Pencil – My favourite brow pencil because it’s easy to use, and quickly lets me fill in and shape my brows. Read more about it here.
  • Benefit Cosmetics Gimme Brow – This is one of the first brow products I’ve ever used! It’s a brow-volumizing tinted gel, with tiny micro-fibers that works to create natural-looking fullness and definition. Read more about it here.
  • Maybelline Super Stay Matte Liquid Lipstick – Y’all know from this post that I’m obsessed with the long-lasting formula. I got couple of new shades recently and love them too!

So….after typing out this list of products, I guess that’s kind of a lot of products?? The entire look only took me about 12 minutes from start to finish, while filming, so it was quite simple!

Yesterday was moving day!!! After so many months o Yesterday was moving day!!!
After so many months of waiting, we finally said goodbye to our little Toronto rental and moved to our new home in Newmarket! 

The next week or so will be a state of chaos, as the house isn’t exaaaaaaactly ready yet, but that’s okay - we’re here! 🥰

2020 has without a doubt been a year we will all r 2020 has without a doubt been a year we will all remember. It’s been a big rollercoaster, but there’s no one else I’d rather ride it with than @woodley.matt 🥰

We’ve endured so.many.challenges this year...but we’ve also had some of the best and most exciting moments of our lives this year.

I still can’t believe we bought a house, got engaged AND got a puppy this year (all within a month)! 🤯

Nobody knows what 2021 will bring, but what we do know is, it will start the same way 2020 ended: at home.

I also know we will finally be finishing and moving into our new home in early 2021, and I CANNOT WAIT!! As for wedding plans...ehh, it’s a little tricky to plan these days, so we’ll cross that bridge a little later 😜 

Wishing you all a safe and happy new year at home! 🥳 (which I’m totally okay with - I’m a 👵🏻 anyways)

Now that these have been gifted, I can share these Now that these have been gifted, I can share these! 

I picked up knitting needles for the first time in 10+ years (maybe more?!) at the start of the pandemic. I bought a DIY unicorn kit and it took me months before I got around to finishing it. Still, I enjoyed it. 

So, this year, I thought it would be fun to knit up a few gifts for Christmas presents. 

My next project? I’m going to attempt to knit myself a cardigan. 🤭😲🤗

Christmas 2020 - like many things this year, not “normal,” but we made plenty of memories. 

We had a low-key Christmas morning, filled with Bailey’s coffee, Miller snuggles (and weird facial expressions) and cinnamon buns. We finished off the day with a Jewish Christmas dinner: Chinese take out!

2020 is the year of the handwritten, handmade card 2020 is the year of the handwritten, handmade card - at least, at my house! Actually, it’s more than cards being handmade these days 😌

I’m finishing up the last of the gifting projects and then it’s onto baking cookies! 💁🏼‍♀️

I *think* I know what I’ll be baking...but I’m having a tough time committing 🤪
