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!

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)

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!

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 🤪

I love how these little toques (aka: beanies) turned out. I also had a couple extras in a different yarn, so I added string and threw them on the tree!

Happy thanksgiving!! 🍂🍁 Even though it hasn Happy thanksgiving!! 🍂🍁

Even though it hasn’t been a “normal” Thanksgiving weekend, there is so much to be thankful for. 

One (very) small thing I’m thankful for is that I took Matt’s advice on forgoing my usual butter-only pie crust recipe for one that includes shortening. I used the pumpkin pie recipe from @sallysbakeblog - including the mix of shortening and butter in the crust. I think it was my best pumpkin pie yet! 
(The Turkey was fantastic too of course 😏)
