I love this series and how real you are about your opinions. It’s hard to find someone who isn’t holding back. But yet you do it with grace and remind people everyone is different, and what doesn’t work for you may work for them. I love you Rachel 🥰🥰
Gave a thumbs up for your sister knowing about roast vs caffeine in coffee. I can't remember where I learned that, I think it may have been an episode of How It's Made, but I love passing that info along. I think it's super interesting. LOL
Hey there Rachel! If you enjoy Holo Taco but prefer their wider brush, they sell the wider brush as replacements! All the cremes have the wider brush, but the rest is the skinny brush. I'm like you, I prefer the wider brush, so I buy the replacements and add them to the skinny brush polishes instead of the default skinny brushes!
@@silverpalm I have! It was a game changer. It was actually the first formula I exchanged it in. Do mind I've only changed in the Glossy Taco, not the Super Glossy Taco since it doesn't ship to where I live.
@@littlejoh713 I'm so glad to hear that!! I'll for sure be adding on an order of wide brushes next release.... *hopefully the nail art kit this or next weekend* 😆
Fun tip for the base coats - you can use them both at the same time to get the benefits of both. First the long lasting and then smoothing. I find that together they give me really long lasting and smooth nails!
SOOO glad to see Holo Taco again! I've recently been obsessed and I 100% recommend all of the unicorn skins she has. They apply like a dream and look incredible matte or glossy. Love your videos and I'm typically pretty silent, but I can't resist when I see a cross over of another loved creator 😆
I definitely understand the obsession over Holo Taco.... I went a little nuts and got like 600 bucks of nail polish..... my mom lost her mind when it was delivered.... but how can you just pick one? 🤔
@@littlesiren92 I have forced myself to a limit of like $80 once per month 😂 and if I don’t wear everything that I bought by the next month I wait a bit longer. Someday I will own it all 😈
Folgers has coffee tea bags as well! I switched over to decaf a few months ago (bc caffeine triggered my anxiety too much lol) and I use a decaf tea bag every day - I love it! Still the taste of coffee without so much effort lol.
I thought everyone had forgotten about Folgers Singles! Glad someone else remembers. I was the only coffee drinker in my house starting at 9. My grandmother- also the troublemaker who got me hooked on coffee in the first place - bought me Folgers Singles coffee bags (decaf, because I was 9) for my house in the mid-90s. They weren’t anything special- I knew regular coffee was MUCH better even at that age - but it was that or nothing for me. I tried them again a few years ago and they’re pretty terrible. Not sure if they’ve gotten worse or I just have real coffee to ruin the curve.
Emma’s coffee is best if you put cold water in mason jar before bedtime, and add coffee bag. Let sit overnight and drink in morning! That’s way she does it! Way better!!
Hi, I just stumbled across your channel a couple of months ago, but I just wanted to say that I love your personality so much!! I've totally been binging your videos and I always look forward to every Thursday when you post a new one! You're just so funny, so real, and so likable :) I appreciate your honesty and realness, especially about motherhood, and I just appreciate your content :) Thanks for bringing some joy to my week!
You can combine the base coats if you want! Just make sure you use the long-lasting one first and put smoothing on top of it. Long-lasting needs to be touching the nail itself in order to do its job but the smoothing one just evens out the texture so it can go on top of other base coats. The creme polishes from HT have the wider brush in them and everything else (so far) has the skinny brushes, but she does sell both sizes of brush separately if you really hate one or the other. I'm personally on team skinny brushes because my nails are very curved and a bit narrow so the wide brushes tend to make a mess on me. But then I also rarely buy cremes, so it isn't too much of a problem. And the Super Glossy Taco has an extra ingredient that can't be shipped internationally, so it's only available in the US since her polishes are made here. I'm kind of bummed you didn't do the "build your own bundle" feature since you were so close to having the bundle already! You pick a base, creme, topper, and top coat (glossy or matte) and save a little bit on the bundle. If you order from them again, I *hiiiiighly* recommend Everything Taco. It looks like the floor after a school dance (as in confetti and sparkles everywhere, not litter lol). Cremes look so much more interesting when you add a topper! Also thought I'd share some anti-chip tips! If you can, wear gloves while doing the dishes and other cleaning chores. Try not to use your nails as tools for things (scratching off stickers, prying stuff open, etc.) since that wears away at the polish. Wrapping each layer of polish along the free edge of the nail does help with wear time, though it is definitely harder to do if your nails are short. And the more you paint your nails, the better your nails get at holding onto polish in general. I used to not paint my toes much and so when I did, sometimes the polish would just completely pop off as if I'd used a peel-off base. As I kept putting polish on them more often, they've gotten a lot better at staying polished! The polish on them right now has been there for a couple of weeks and it looks new aside from where it's grown out a little! Sorry for the massive comment! I'm really passionate about nail stuff. 😅
everyone talks about how to get long lasting nail polish and I appreciate the tips, but I also get SO BORED of my color after like day 4 so it ends up coming off anyways 😂
@@divinelyengineered Hah, I use Peely Base every time because I redo my nails at least once a week. Too many nail art ideas, not enough time! But when I do leave my polish on for over a week, it still doesn't chip. 😎
The brushes brought me back sooo many years! I feel like RT was THE makeup brush brand going back 8-10 years. I have most of the brushes mentioned in the video and also a few others. The deluxe crease one is a dream, and the blush brush makes an excellent powder brush if you wanna be more "careful" or precise with application. I am so curious about the second foundation brush mentioned here!
Oh Rachel, I live in Denver and we have the threat of snow until mid to late May. 😂 Every inch of my California soul wants to start planting but I’ve learned to wait until late May. Any other choice may be costly. 🤷🏻♀️
I love Real Techniques brushes, especially the "Tapered Cheek Makeup Brush", "Ultra Plush Blush Makeup Brush" and the "Makeup Setting Brush", which was my first brush ever.
I worked in a dermatology clinic for a few years. The best product out there for hair growth is minoxidil 5%, or generic Rogaine (you can do Rogaine if you want, it's just way more expensive but the active ingredient is the same). All the labeling says "only for men," but it's perfectly safe for women/people of all genders. It also says to use it twice a day but once is fine. Foam or liquid, whichever you prefer. Liquid is cheaper. It's by far the best and most clinically proven product for teleogen effluvium. Pro tip: change your pillowcase weekly. If the product builds up on your pillow while you sleep and then rubs on your face you can get unwanted hair growth.
thank you so much. I agree with you because I use minoxidil 5%. It's the best thing ever. If you don't mind to answer, I have one question. How much product do i need to use if I use it once a day? Should I make up for the amount or just regular one dosage?
@@duaa378 regular amount is perfecf! Doing it twice a day really is just about using more product so you run out and buy more. It doesn't result in additional hair growth. Hope this helps!
Would a sleep bonnet help keep it away from your face? I wear a satin night bonnet because I’m a curly girl. The bonnet helps keep my curls from getting knotty when I sleep.
I'm PRETTY SURE you are supposed to put cleansing balm on your dry face of makeup... You rub it in and THEN apply water to emulsify and rub some more before rinsing off. Just thought I'd throw that out there 😉
Wowzers I'm not Massively into make up so I normally just watch your rachhloves life channel. This came up and I know you know this but you are AMAZING at makeup. Your eyes. Sooooooo beautiful. 👏👏👏👏
I have tried a few coffee bags, we have one for a French press or plunger. They don't work. End up tearing the coffee out if the bag, in the plunger and good coffee
Hi☺️ Folgers has had a coffee t bag thing for a while. It’s not strong enough for me but it’s a great thing to take camping and stuff. I believe there is another product called Santos coffee cubes that is a cube( of course) it’s better than the bags
Just some tips on getting your nail polish to last, 1) dishwashing gloves for obviously doing dishes but also when doing laundry and other housework 2) Using a shampoo brush when you wash your hair so that you’re not using the tips of your nails to scrub 3) Cleanup helps a ton. After you finish painting your nails (before top coating) , if you use a cleanup brush dipped in remover/acetone ( I use ones from TwinkledT but Holo Taco also sells one) around the edges of your nails and leave a *tiny* gap and then apply your top coat to seal in everything. 4) After you top coat just make sure no polish is touching your skin. The oils from our skin will make polish more likely to peel off so no skin contact = polish lasting longer.
I’m always surprised so many people think the Emma Chamberlain coffee bags are a new thing. Folgers has been doing that for years! It used to be our go to for camping and long road trips. They aren’t amazing but for the price I’d go for Folgers anyday😅😂
Coffee in a tea bag.. in Argentina you can find them, they're somewhat cheap and been here for many years... I'm surprised that those weren't there before...
Mildly interesting fact: in Argentina we have the “cheap” store brands doing a version of their coffee in tea (or coffee) bags, it’s common to see them in the supermarket (great for traveling if you, like me, can’t stand instant coffee and that’s all they have where you’re staying, and it’s overall mostly targeted to travelers, as it’s cheaper to buy the normal pack of coffee if you have a coffee machine or a filter). And it does make sense that the bag acts like a filter. I was inspired by that for my technique for doing cold brew like in bulk. I take a nut milk filter bag, put a whole packet of coffee in there and submerge it in a lot of water, then I have cold brew for like a week.
I love to use the smaller foundation brush for my cream contour. I find for my preferences it’s the perfect shape and blends it so well!!! Also obsessed with the pur foundation because of you!!!!
I'm on the same team as you with the overlining. But I think it looks awful on everyone. It doesn't make people's lips look bigger, but like they messed up their lip liner.
I’m the same way with mirrors. I only use a close up mirror when I’m plucking my brows, but for makeup application, I typically just use my bathroom mirror.
I LOVE this series you do!!! They are so FUN to watch! I’ve been wondering about Emma Chamberlain’s coffee ☕️ I like my coffee strong and a dark roast so I think I can pass on the coffee! I’m so in love 🥰 with my blush palette from Laura Lee’s brand. I want to try Manny’s new blush palette!
I am glad you are sleeping better. Have you tried the Hairmax band for hair regrowth? I use it, 3x's/ week (for last 8 mos) and my hair is regrowing! I have non- scarring alopecia from autoimmune disease.
If you haven’t tried it yet the Ordinary Hair Density Serum is a must for those baby hairs! Also have you ever tried Kathleen Lights nail polish line?! Would love to see you try that out in another one of these videos
That crease brush is great for concealer. When it comes to that blush brush, it's okay, but I prefer it for setting powder. There is a different blush brush I use from Real Techniques that I find much better that has a slant to it, and is more dense. Also, I like that smaller foundation brush. I find it blends foundation way quicker than any other foundation brush I've tried.
Coffee bags have been a thing here in the UK for ages. They’re not very strong but good for travelling. Also, I put 2 in a mug and leave them in. Still not as strong as I’d like, but better than nothing
I use the Real Techniques blurring foundation brush for cream bronzers/contours and it’s great for that. It’s too small for me as a foundation brush but perfect for the cheeks.
I have been checking out the rice water recipe from the Yao women and wow, do they have amazing hair! I don’t know that I want to make it myself, but I may. Also it does amazing things to your skin. The before and afters are 😮
Awesome job, sis, on the coffee knowledge! For a frame of reference, Starbucks always has a darker taste, because they intentionally over-roast (burn) their coffee, so the taste is consistent from location to location. So, the fact that it's not Starbucks "strong" is a good sign 👍 love your videos!
I love Holo Taco, it's a really great brand, and they have changed the brush on their creme polishes from skinny round to wide flat, major improvement. PS: Holo Taco also sells wide flat brushes separately if you need to update your old Holo Taco brushes
Have you ever tried the coffee from a company in Huntsville, ON called Muskoka coffee. My sister lives in Huntsville and on my birthday she sends me a bag. So yummy!
I'm sure Emma has stronger roasts, the fancy mouse is probably the lightest. But Lo was right the lighter the roast the more caffeine you will get. Steeping it longer won't get you more flavor( I don't think, but I could be wrong) it will just "burn"your coffee and make it bitter.
For your hair growth, you should try Divi! It's a hair care serum by an influencer, Dani Austin. I haven't tried it, but she posts tons of testimonials about it all the time.
I love that you gave Holo Taco another shot!! it‘s all I‘ve been using for the last 2,5 years, they are so good!! my nails are super ridgy and uneven and I use Smoothing Base every day (yes I do my nails every day), but I use Peely Base underneath for easy removal - so yes, you can also use the different bases together for all the benefits 🥰 you can also get the wider brushes seperately (they are only in the crème polishes) and exchange them ☺️ also: real techniques brushes are soooo good!! fellow youtuber Allie Glines always uses the buffing brush from them for her foundation, I think it‘s a little bigger than the one you used so maybe you‘d like that one better as well🤓
Would love to see you try a fellow Canadians products, nail career education! Suzie is so sweet it would be a interesting colas if she could walk you through how to use her products
@@IDontWantThisStupidHandle that’s what I was thinking, so isn’t it weird that she said one of the products she wanted didnt ship to her. If I recall correctly she’s also Canadian so how could she not get a Canadian business’s product
@@carolh3664 a skincare product didn't arrive in time, to my understanding? Anyway Cristine is canadian but Holo Taco is based in the US Edit: Sorry, I misunderstood... The skin care product is a thing and the shipping of the super glossy taco another. Sorry!
@@IDontWantThisStupidHandle It’s debatable whether HT is Canadian. Cristine is Canadian, but HT is based in New Jersey. SO super glossy taco only ships in the US because of its ingredients.
Have you ever tried colorstreet nails yet? I used to have trouble with painting my nails, and when I found that I instantly fell in love and only is that anymore
Just wondering, did you squeeze the bag of coffee when you took it out? I do it with my tea bags at the end of steeping and it always gives way more flavor I learned. So maybe that would help.
Holo taco sells the wide brushes like the one in the blue polish separately if you ever want to swap the brush styles, also to combat the chopped nails/hair washing situation, have you thought of using a silicone washing brush?
I also keep my nails pretty short and find wrapping the tip challenging. Don't add more polish (or base/top coat) to the brush cause you'll have way too much and with shorties you probably have enough left on the brush. I focus more on getting on the edge of the nail than wrapping the underside, even sometimes just dabbing the edge (especially with the colour coats). Sometimes I will turn my hand around so my fingertips are pointing up (not resting on a table) and I can see the underside of my nail and gently pull back on the skin with my thumb when I am trying to really wrap the tips as best as I can. I generally try to wrap the tip more with my base and top coats and don't worry as much with the colour cause with short nails that will just make an insane mess.
I was a nail tech years ago, base coats should stay somewhat tacky to make the polish adhere to the base, no need to let it dry very much . 3 swipes down the nail bed is what we aim for , down each side then middle .
Thank you, helpful.
🤯 Thank you so much for the advice!

I finally bought the Holo taco nail polish and this is for sure the best nail polish on the planet!!! Thank u for sharing it 😊
My nail tech told me to make sure to file and dehydrate the nail before you do the base coat and color. It makes it adhere more
Mildly interesting fact: in Argentina we have the “cheap” store brands doing a version of their coffee in tea (or coffee) bags, it’s common to see them in the supermarket (great for traveling if you, like me, can’t stand instant coffee and that’s all they have where you’re staying, and it’s overall mostly targeted to travelers, as it’s cheaper to buy the normal pack of coffee if you have a coffee machine or a filter).
And it does make sense that the bag acts like a filter. I was inspired by that for my technique for doing cold brew like in bulk. I take a nut milk filter bag, put a whole packet of coffee in there and submerge it in a lot of water, then I have cold brew for like a week.
I love to use the smaller foundation brush for my cream contour. I find for my preferences it’s the perfect shape and blends it so well!!! Also obsessed with the pur foundation because of you!!!!
LOVE Real Technique brushes , I love the small dense brush it has a purple handle, I use for primer on my eyes or cream shadows.
I love that crease brush for applying my paint pot.
I’m using Bondi Boost’s hair growth system and really like it!
Can’t wait to hear your hair growth products and hacks! 😁
The RT blush brush I use for loose powder over the face. It's my favourite powder brush even over my Hourglass powder brush. It's the best.
I'm on the same team as you with the overlining. But I think it looks awful on everyone. It doesn't make people's lips look bigger, but like they messed up their lip liner.
I’m the same way with mirrors. I only use a close up mirror when I’m plucking my brows, but for makeup application, I typically just use my bathroom mirror.
The delux crease brush is a good concealer brush too
Folgers makes teabag style coffee for an individual cups. We use it when we go camping.
I really love to use RT’s deluxe crease brush to apply my under eye concealer. It blends it out perfectly!
The expert face brush is my favorite for applying powder foundation!
BEAUTIFUL eye look!!!
I LOVE this series you do!!! They are so FUN to watch! I’ve been wondering about Emma Chamberlain’s coffee ☕️ I like my coffee strong and a dark roast so I think I can pass on the coffee! I’m so in love 🥰 with my blush palette from Laura Lee’s brand. I want to try Manny’s new blush palette!
I am glad you are sleeping better. Have you tried the Hairmax band for hair regrowth? I use it, 3x's/ week (for last 8 mos) and my hair is regrowing! I have non- scarring alopecia from autoimmune disease.
Girl we had 4 inches a few weeks ago in Alabama… A friggin Deep South State, Wtheck is up with this weather
I love to use that first foundation brush for my cream contour blends so nice!
You HAVE GOT to try the brushes from Center of Attention Makeup by Courtney Hollins, the brush set is called Blend Me Over!
If you haven’t tried it yet the Ordinary Hair Density Serum is a must for those baby hairs! Also have you ever tried Kathleen Lights nail polish line?! Would love to see you try that out in another one of these videos
I tested that one in the last video in this series! :)
That crease brush is great for concealer. When it comes to that blush brush, it's okay, but I prefer it for setting powder. There is a different blush brush I use from Real Techniques that I find much better that has a slant to it, and is more dense. Also, I like that smaller foundation brush. I find it blends foundation way quicker than any other foundation brush I've tried.
Coffee bags have been a thing here in the UK for ages. They’re not very strong but good for travelling. Also, I put 2 in a mug and leave them in. Still not as strong as I’d like, but better than nothing
Happy Tuesday! Lynn
RT brushes are amazing! The expert face brush is a staple, I have about 8 of them.
I grew up with coffee bags here in Malaysia! Thought it was a common thing everywhere, super convenient and tastes good too!
Love watching your videos! You always bring a smile to my face and make my day a little bit better!
Really fun upload sweetie
Love Tia xxx
I use the Real Techniques blurring foundation brush for cream bronzers/contours and it’s great for that. It’s too small for me as a foundation brush but perfect for the cheeks.
I have been checking out the rice water recipe from the Yao women and wow, do they have amazing hair! I don’t know that I want to make it myself, but I may. Also it does amazing things to your skin. The before and afters are 😮
Awesome job, sis, on the coffee knowledge! For a frame of reference, Starbucks always has a darker taste, because they intentionally over-roast (burn) their coffee, so the taste is consistent from location to location. So, the fact that it's not Starbucks "strong" is a good sign 👍 love your videos!
Burnt is exactly how I describe the taste of Starbucks🤣 I’ve never been a fan and don’t get the hype😬
I think the mint green in the inner corner would have looked incredible with that look.
Hehe We do coffee bags here in Australia by a company called Robert Timms and is sooooo much cheaper than the one you bought, not a new invention
I love Holo Taco, it's a really great brand, and they have changed the brush on their creme polishes from skinny round to wide flat, major improvement.
PS: Holo Taco also sells wide flat brushes separately if you need to update your old Holo Taco brushes
Have you ever tried the coffee from a company in Huntsville, ON called Muskoka coffee. My sister lives in Huntsville and on my birthday she sends me a bag. So yummy!
Have you tried divi for hair growth? It’s been really great for my post pardum hair loss!
I'm sure Emma has stronger roasts, the fancy mouse is probably the lightest. But Lo was right the lighter the roast the more caffeine you will get.
Steeping it longer won't get you more flavor( I don't think, but I could be wrong) it will just "burn"your coffee and make it bitter.
Would love your opinion on all the magnetic/no glue lashes products all over social media these days!!
For your hair growth, you should try Divi! It's a hair care serum by an influencer, Dani Austin. I haven't tried it, but she posts tons of testimonials about it all the time.
I love that you gave Holo Taco another shot!! it‘s all I‘ve been using for the last 2,5 years, they are so good!! my nails are super ridgy and uneven and I use Smoothing Base every day (yes I do my nails every day), but I use Peely Base underneath for easy removal - so yes, you can also use the different bases together for all the benefits 🥰 you can also get the wider brushes seperately (they are only in the crème polishes) and exchange them ☺️
also: real techniques brushes are soooo good!! fellow youtuber Allie Glines always uses the buffing brush from them for her foundation, I think it‘s a little bigger than the one you used so maybe you‘d like that one better as well🤓
I don't think I've ever been this early 😩 I love your videos. Keep being you! Your so special. ♡♡♡
Would love to see you try a fellow Canadians products, nail career education! Suzie is so sweet it would be a interesting colas if she could walk you through how to use her products
Halo Taco is a Canadian brand -- Cristine (Simply Nailogicial) lives in the same province as Rachel.
@@IDontWantThisStupidHandle that’s what I was thinking, so isn’t it weird that she said one of the products she wanted didnt ship to her. If I recall correctly she’s also Canadian so how could she not get a Canadian business’s product
@@carolh3664 a skincare product didn't arrive in time, to my understanding? Anyway Cristine is canadian but Holo Taco is based in the US
Edit: Sorry, I misunderstood... The skin care product is a thing and the shipping of the super glossy taco another. Sorry!
@@IDontWantThisStupidHandle It’s debatable whether HT is Canadian. Cristine is Canadian, but HT is based in New Jersey. SO super glossy taco only ships in the US because of its ingredients.
Have you ever tried colorstreet nails yet? I used to have trouble with painting my nails, and when I found that I instantly fell in love and only is that anymore
Robert Timms and Vittoria have both had coffee tea bags for years. They're so good to take when you go travelling.
Just wondering, did you squeeze the bag of coffee when you took it out? I do it with my tea bags at the end of steeping and it always gives way more flavor I learned. So maybe that would help.
I use the smaller foundation brush that you were using today as like a concealer brush I think it works much better
I also by the way I use a sponge just to make sure there are no brush marks but that’s because I’m picky and kind of crazy
And to say I really like your haircut and the color is gorgeous
Try Divi for hair loss! I have seen some great testimonials
Holo taco sells the wide brushes like the one in the blue polish separately if you ever want to swap the brush styles, also to combat the chopped nails/hair washing situation, have you thought of using a silicone washing brush?
I also keep my nails pretty short and find wrapping the tip challenging. Don't add more polish (or base/top coat) to the brush cause you'll have way too much and with shorties you probably have enough left on the brush. I focus more on getting on the edge of the nail than wrapping the underside, even sometimes just dabbing the edge (especially with the colour coats). Sometimes I will turn my hand around so my fingertips are pointing up (not resting on a table) and I can see the underside of my nail and gently pull back on the skin with my thumb when I am trying to really wrap the tips as best as I can. I generally try to wrap the tip more with my base and top coats and don't worry as much with the colour cause with short nails that will just make an insane mess.
Love your ombre coffee mugs, where did you find them?
You should try Jamie Genevieve’s brand Vieve. xx
I love to use the real techniques foundation brush (the smaller one) for my cream contour and cream bronzer! :)
please try rose and ben beauty brushes. btw love u loads
