Everyone: working from home isn't so bad Me, a flight attendant on lay off: *opens my house door, picks up the phone* Welcome on board this flight to my home, please place your shoes by the door. Once you have found the cat, please avoid touching it as he dislikes it. Smoking is only permitted in the outside garden. There is a toilet located at the end of the corridor.
Occasionally I call my mum in the other room to ask if she wants tea and have my cat guard the door. Once in, I look outside the window and ask "much longer until we land?" XD
I couldn't be more agree! What a delightful moment when yo hear the sweet words "Hallo there". It's time to have a break & just enjoy the video yourself! 😉😉🤗🤗👌🌷😘
For anyone with sensitive skin and looking to get the Ultra Violette sunscreen, wait till September, they're coming out with spf 50+ physical sunscreen with no fragrance. They currently have a new physical sunscreen called the clean screen but it's only spf30 if you'd like but for a stronger one you have to wait a few months.
Thanks for sharing! Clean Screen was part of their original range but they recently reformulated it 👍☀️ Always exciting to see what they're working on! x
I found myself wanting trying new things with my looks. It's been so fun to level up my makeup, hair and nails skills. I also have more time to do yoga and I'm learning how to play guitar and sew
My every day makeup is mascara, clear brow gel and an hydranting lip gloss, now in quarantine I only use makeup when I'm trying brighter colors and new things
I'm really young so I can't really experiment with makeup much but I've been having fun with skincare! Anyways I know this is weird but can you make a video about your stationery for a change? ( also please give your right hand some love during videos too!😂😂😂)
Thank you Dareen! My left hand definitely gets all the love 😂 I prefer to stick to videos on beauty and travel unfortunately (but I've woven in some self care and working from home topics lately too as they've become more relevant to all of us). Maybe it could be something I cover on my blog in future! x
@@matildaonvideo Thank you for taking the time to reply! Honestly ever since I subscribed I've never missed a video😂 so I'll definitely enjoy any content you create! And once again thank you!💁❤
I am lucky that my office shifted to working from home seven weeks ago. I knew I needed a space for my work setup. I’m very minimalistic at work so I set up something similar in my den. Having that dedicated space has been wonderful. I have just a few things things on my desk aside from my computer and three screens, two of them being a hand lotion (L’Occitane Rose Hand Cream) and a face mist (Mario Badesco Lavender). I also keep a lip balm tucked under my screen just like at my office. Those three keep my skin hydrated. I still get dressed but with more casual clothes than I would at the office, which is very formal. I have an app that gets me up to drink water, move a bit, and stretch. I also have a reminder on my computer to start my closing down process. So far, I’ve been able to balance life well. Doesn’t mean I don’t get down, but the routines propel me forward. I use the pretty colorful pens, the good stationery, anything to keep my mood happy. But I have to say the biggest assist has been in the shape of LoFi music. I can’t listen to anything at work, but at home, it helps me concentrate. I hope this helps someone.
I've taken this quarantine as an opportunity to go back on my medicated acne wash, which makes my skin super dry and sensitive, so I've just been layering on the mosituriser and spf and letting my skin breathe!
I absolutely adore your flat lay style videos! And I love the colour themes throughout the intro😍😍 oh and also would you be able to make a video on your natural deodorant favourites! I’ve been thinking of making the switch and would love some suggestions and see what you have to say ! X
Thank you Olivia! 😄🎨 You can see other Native scents I enjoy in my Favourite Scents video! I also use Malin + Goetz Eucalyptus and Nécessaire Eucalyptus x
I have been wearing 40s-50s inspired outfits and makeup for about 5 years now. It makes me so happy to feel put-together in a way that feels good and unique to me. Save for a couple of bad days, I still wear full vintage at home during quarantine. My two must-wear products are my eyeliner and red lipstick. My skin has really appreciated a break! I'm also looking into more 60s style from the comfort of my home before I take it out in the streets.
I looked at the thumbnail wondering how Sharpies could be a part of your makeup routine but then I read the title. ...Really had me thinking you were gonna pull an "Orange Is The New Black" sharpie-is-eyeliner-like move and say the orange leaves a nice pop of color on your eyes. 😂
The attention to color in this video is so incredibly soothing. When most of our time during quarantine is spent visually looking at computer screens, something that's "fresh" for the eyes really stands out. Wonderful job Matilda!
You're the only beauty UA-camr I follow. Your videos aren't flashy and aren't all about touting a product you've made. I also find them very calming and aesthetically pleasing with your flat lay of your products. It's everything I like in a video: not too noisy, I actually watch the video all the way to the end, and I like hearing about the products you use.
Im still in high school, so i switch between days where i make up for hours of procrastination with minutes of superhuman speed and days (like today) where i actually get stuff done. thanks for taking the time to make content! 💖
Thanks for sharing this! There were days during this quarantine that I decided not having a routine at all: wake up late, no skincare, no makeup, no exercise, and it didn’t feel right! So now I am now constantly finding the best routine, and so far includes: early rise, meditate, stretching / exercise, MORE skincare, minimal makeup to add the mood for work (concealer, brow pen, cream blush, tinted lip balm). And of course, a nice comfy shirts! (Pajamas make me feel lazy lol)
My everyday makeup is now getting an upgrade, since I have time to test things. Usually I’d wear quite a few things, but now it’s just: priming moisturizer, some cream blush lipbalm and eyebrow gel☺️ it makes me feel good and still have the joy of applying makeup❤️
One tip that has really helped me is having one spot or room for work. When I’m in that room or space I’m in work mode, and when I leave it I’m in home mode. This really helped me. I also set time blockers. For example, if I had a report due, I would set a timer for 30 minutes and only focus on that report for that amount of time. I know I’m late but these tips and tricks have really helped me with work/life balance!
No makeup right now! Sometimes I add a bit of lipstick to feel better sometimes! Funnily, I was going out to buy groceries and wore a nice lipstick and then realised there was no point cause I needed to wear a mask 🤣
I recently wrote an article about low maintenance beauty on WeHeartIt and I described something as a "wash of color" and I reminded myself of you! Your suggestions for face masks and tinted balms and the like have really helped me and given me ideas for subtle beauty habits. Thank you for this channel!
I ❤ Colorful sharpies 😍and the way you matched them with the cosmetics was beautiful. I continue to concentrate more on skin care and doing eye makeup looks, wanting the keep my days the most normal to my usual, getting home and soaking my feet in Lavander epson salts and taking my mask off 😷 feels heavenly #NursingLife.
Finally someone else who wears SPF inside! I use a moisturizer with SPF every day while in quarantine because a) my desk is next to a window and b) I'm using an acne medication that makes me a bit more sensitive to sun. My parents think I've gone insane and and are always saying "you don't need sunscreen to sit at your desk!" At least Matilda agrees with me 🤣
It's so important Lydia! Particularly given many people are using this time to apply more intense skincare products, like retinols, chemical exfoliants or medicated products that need to be followed with sunscreen 👍☀️ x
Came back to watch this as I am currently shifting to working from home after having been in office during the entire pandemic 😷. It still holds so much relevance even a year later. 🥰
Wow it’s so comforting to hear you say all these, I have been truly struggling to balance everything that’s on my plate, surprisingly, considering that I have so much time as I am home all the time. I guess it is an unusual time and a lot of people are struggling as well and I really shouldn’t compare how other people are doing to how I am. :))) this video has really put a big smile on me and I love how you’re always so emphatic and honest
Thank you so much Cait! ☺️ Definitely my favourite way to describe those days where you feel out of sorts and just can't get going. I thought 'flattening the emotional curve' was a beautiful description too, I wish I could remember where I saw it on Instagram! x
Skincare has been the focus. Misting throughout the day, face and hair masks. Skin has been loving the break, natural curls are getting their bounce back. I'll definitely be reducing my routine and amount of products I use and buy when things resume.
I love love loved this video and now I want to buy literally everything you shared with us, especially the Trinny London pots! Thank you for keeping your videos so warm, friendly and relaxed right now. It's what we all need 💞
I still get up about the same time as before, except I now actually make and eat a proper breakfast, read some news, instead of commuting into work. I have not put on any makeup since March, or used any heat on my hair. I rotate between three t-shirts and a couple of sweatpants on the daily basis, it's been real, haha.....
In quarantine and now since Ramadan has started I feel like my days have flipped-all productivity that would normally occur during the day occurs at night post opening my fast at Sunset! I need food in me to even look at MCAT books 😂😭
i love ur videos bc they’re so pretty to look at ans i love how they’re short ans to the point. i often get bored in a video but 5-8 minute videos are PERF
One tip for working from home: I have done a few video lunch calls with co-workers. Normally we would get lunch together and having a virtual lunch is awesome. On beauty, I've actually been wearing a good bit of make-up but my favorite item is tinted lip balm. I was just given two new Olio e osso balms as an early Mother's day gift (Persimmon and Tea Rose). Those have been amazing. One question: how long have your Olio balms lasted?
Thank you Matilda for this! I'm one of the people who is not applying any makeup but I am sticking to a skincare routine. It has done wonders and my mother was recently surprised by how better my skin looks. Pixi Beauty Rose Oil Blend and of course some Summer Fridays Jet Lag Mask. I'm trying not to use up any of the more expensive products I have. In terms of productivity I am quite similar to you. I have a great colleague who understands how difficult it is to work from home and we take things slowly with intermittent breaks (mostly reading or a Tv show in my case).
Matilda I just found out! Glossier is releasing a hand cream!!! I came straight to youtube to tell you because i know you will probably enjoy it wayy too much. haha oxox
Love your content! Its like a soothing bath. I have been WFH since March and have 2 kids at home. I have never cooked, cleaned and organized in recent memory. I am taking this time to make new recipes, learning new skills or tech at work (Power BI) and keeping an exercising routine. BUT I am living in sweats and workout clothes (I like being half way dressed to workout every day). I'm relying on more skincare and a more haircare since I finally have the time. Your sharpie inspo is dead on, I sent it to my 10 year old to take a look :)
Thank you for sharing Karina! Sounds like you're keeping very busy at home, hope you're finding some time to relax too. As a big bath lover, that's such a lovely compliment! Thank you ☺️🛁 x
I am a full time virtual office employee so I am lucky. 1) always get dressed 2) ensure you are blocking your lunch time. Even 30 minutes. Put a calendar block at the end of the day specifically if you work with other time zones. These keep me sane. Also leave water at a walking distance that is close enough to not be disruptive but that forces you to move a bit. I have picked up Joyce Carol Oates Masterclass which is great and workout with move your frame (great fun to do aerobics with 80s 90s music). Also do light makeup and focus on healthy put together. Wow sorry super long comment 😱
Since quarantine I’ve felt so under stimulated which led me back to a depressive mindset which I thought I’d left behind in high school, but I’m slowly making my way back. Idk if it’s like this for anyone else but when I’m depressed I don’t take care of my self so lately I’ve been trying hard to remember to do that and skincare seems to be way in the door at the moment
Glad you've been working your way through this Izzy! It's definitely a tough time so taking time to look after yourself is important ☺️ All the best! x
I've been wearing neon green eyeliner this quarantine lol :) . I'm treating quarantine like a time to try all of the out-there looks I can't usually wear to work. This video is giving me monochrome inspiration though.
Thanks for sharing! Your videos are so relaxing and informative. Personally a go to for me is a little concealer, blush maybe bronzer if I really want a pick me up
So excited about your website! I maintain my balance by keeping my daily routines (including skincare and makeup) and adding some summer work clothes to my usual jeans or shorts. Perks up my mood and keeps me focused.
My two things are mascara and lip gloss. Even with my very mottled skin, I feel more put together with those two. I bought the ILIA Illuminator stick because of you. Love it. I can use it everywhere and call it a day. Thank you for that.
Matilda, your cat looks so cute (from that very brief glimpse)! How do you avoid getting distracted by such an adorable furball when working from home? 🐱 Also, I love that you have matching pens/pencils to your beauty products 😍
I just love your videos so much Matilda. You have no idea how much I look forward to them, they're as soothing and as necessary as lighting a candle and putting on a face mask
Doing my skincare routine and having matcha lattes is my big musts! I usually don’t get dressed right away I tend to wait until 9am-10am (don’t know why). The main thing I want to change is getting up early enough to finish my breakfast before I start working. Otherwise my food gets cold and and get so wrapped in my work I basically forget to finish it.
I started this quarantine doing my skincare religiously and makeup every few days. Recently it has been tough, i wake up very late and disoriented, not much motivation to do anything. Thanks for the video, i hope to take some inspiration to keep a normal routine again
I only wear makeup on my Zoom call days for work MWF. I've kept it to curled lashes, light reflective concealer, the Undone gel bronzer you turned me on to, and a tinted brow gel with a little pencil if I need it. Clothes-wise I get fully dressed in jeans and a nice shirt every day!
Hi Matilda. My name is Tessa and I am watching this from my mom's computer. I love all of your videos, and every time I see one, I get really excited. I love you from Ohio!!
Love the glossier concealer but does anyone else get dust and tiny bits of fluff and fibres in it? I wish they would change the packaging its also hard with longer nails..
That can happen with any cream product in a pot! It's my favourite type of packaging. I always make sure I only use them with clean hands, keep the packaging clean and always put the lid back on as soon as I've finished with it 👍 x
Your videos are a absolute perfection! I’m a freelance artist so I have to really listen to when I’m feeling creative and when I need to do more admin work or shipments. I tend to set alarms to remind myself to eat and when to stop working but there are nights I will need to work until 1 am. It’s all about the balance and listening to the creative flow as well as taking care of yourself.
I’m a medical student. This is final exams period for me and it is all online due to the current circumstances. Sometime I just can’t study. So, my approach to that problem is mascara and some lip and cheek color. I sometimes wear my scrubs and white coat for more productive days.
Hi, M 👋🏼! It’s a beautiful day outside (finally), a bit chilly, but the sun is out! 🌞 Am I outside exercising or enjoying this beautiful Spring weather? Noooo! I’m on my couch and had to watch this twice because I couldn’t hear you over the crunch of my potato chips!!! 😫 MUST STOP EATING AND BAKING! Your video has rescued me! Time to shower, drink some water and start on my refinishing our dining room table project...as soon as I’m done watching your next video! XO’s ♥️
I’ve been in the mood for lots of balmy and glossy lip products. I get excited to do a light spring time makeup application when I go to the grocery store but then I realized my balmy/ glossy lip products stick to my 😷 mask. So then I started applying colored eye looks instead of my usually very simple nude/ neutral eye makeup. Either way, playing with my makeup during this time makes me happy.
my usual skincare routine consists of some rose hip oil, and i’ve been trying out Krave Beauty’s Great Barrier Relief serum and The Beet Shield for sunscreen. i’m happy to say that it’s been reacting well with my skin. my face is usually gets pretty dry and sensitive (thanks genetics) so trying new products can be difficult sometimes.. and then usually i’ll just go in with some mascara because it makes me feel a little more awake, but i don’t really put anything else on. awesome video! hope you’re doing well!
Just putting a little blush and lipstick makes days seem bearable. I do day to night looks and I've been doing good progress on my project pan. Agree with the monotone look. I also have been getting use of my liquid lips. I use a tiny bit of gloss before and it changed the way I use liquid lipstick. Gloss is more emoliant than a balm so it helps liquid lipstick be a bit more comfy.
I just finished last week writing my final work for college and now I’m taking my time 😌 and my love for make up grows. Now that I don’t have to put make up for work I can just sit down admire my collection and play with it ☺️
Everyone: working from home isn't so bad

Lots of stars coming up on my list Nadia, you'll have to stay tuned 😉 x
In quarantine and now since Ramadan has started I feel like my days have flipped-all productivity that would normally occur during the day occurs at night post opening my fast at Sunset! I need food in me to even look at MCAT books 😂😭
Absolutely, food is great brain power Fatihah! Good luck with your studies ☺️👏 x
Your video makes me live a mindful life. Thank you 🙏
Ohh thank you Lilliana! Very nice of you ☺️ x
i love ur videos bc they’re so pretty to look at ans i love how they’re short ans to the point. i often get bored in a video but 5-8 minute videos are PERF
Your videos are always so calming yet it makes me wants explore more skincare products.
Thank you! Nice to hear ☺️ x
Hate the fact that my uni cancelled all exams for every course except mine! I legit have to bully myself to do work, I can never focus :(
Oh no, sorry to hear Malika! I'm sure it would be really hard to focus at the moment. Wishing you all the best with your studies! ☺️👍 x
@@matildaonvideo thank you
aah I love these videos! you've helped me stay sane during quarantine...thank you so much!
Thank you so much Makenzie! Glad I could keep you company ☺️ x
Looooooved the by terry blush, omg!
Such a beautiful product! ✨ x
One tip for working from home: I have done a few video lunch calls with co-workers. Normally we would get lunch together and having a virtual lunch is awesome. On beauty, I've actually been wearing a good bit of make-up but my favorite item is tinted lip balm. I was just given two new Olio e osso balms as an early Mother's day gift (Persimmon and Tea Rose). Those have been amazing. One question: how long have your Olio balms lasted?
Ohh that sounds so nice Lily! ☺️ Hope you enjoy your new Olio balms (to be honest, I've never finished one! They just keep going!) x
Lip oils and good skincare is all I'm about these days. Love the dior lip oil and lilah b lip oil!
Ooh I'd love to try the Lilah B lip oil! 👏 x
I really don't know why, but there's something calming and so very satisfying about the swatches you do!💫
Thank you, nice to hear! ☺️ I always find swatches very satisfying to watch x
@@matildaonvideo Aah same!
Thank you Matilda for this! I'm one of the people who is not applying any makeup but I am sticking to a skincare routine. It has done wonders and my mother was recently surprised by how better my skin looks. Pixi Beauty Rose Oil Blend and of course some Summer Fridays Jet Lag Mask. I'm trying not to use up any of the more expensive products I have. In terms of productivity I am quite similar to you. I have a great colleague who understands how difficult it is to work from home and we take things slowly with intermittent breaks (mostly reading or a Tv show in my case).
Glad to hear your skin is doing well during this time Pramodha! ☺️👍 x
Recently discovered your channel and I'm loving your polite sense of honesty and candidness about the products you review. 🙌♥️
Thank you so much, really appreciate that feedback Holly! ☺️ x
I would love to see a favorite face masks video!!
Definitely on my list Grace! 👍 x
The video presentation, the styling...arghh are AMAZING! Love it! 💜
Thank you so much Ingrid! 😄🎨 x
Love the color-based shots in this video! Made it so soothing to watch!
Thank you Evie, glad you enjoyed that! 😄🎨 x
Matilda I just found out! Glossier is releasing a hand cream!!! I came straight to youtube to tell you because i know you will probably enjoy it wayy too much. haha oxox
Love your content! Its like a soothing bath. I have been WFH since March and have 2 kids at home. I have never cooked, cleaned and organized in recent memory. I am taking this time to make new recipes, learning new skills or tech at work (Power BI) and keeping an exercising routine. BUT I am living in sweats and workout clothes (I like being half way dressed to workout every day). I'm relying on more skincare and a more haircare since I finally have the time. Your sharpie inspo is dead on, I sent it to my 10 year old to take a look :)
Thank you for sharing Karina! Sounds like you're keeping very busy at home, hope you're finding some time to relax too. As a big bath lover, that's such a lovely compliment! Thank you ☺️🛁 x
This girl puts in so much work into her videos, she is such a good UA-camr
Thank you Brandi! This video has the most elements of anything I've ever made so I really appreciate that 😄 x
I am a full time virtual office employee so I am lucky. 1) always get dressed 2) ensure you are blocking your lunch time. Even 30 minutes. Put a calendar block at the end of the day specifically if you work with other time zones. These keep me sane. Also leave water at a walking distance that is close enough to not be disruptive but that forces you to move a bit. I have picked up Joyce Carol Oates Masterclass which is great and workout with move your frame (great fun to do aerobics with 80s 90s music). Also do light makeup and focus on healthy put together. Wow sorry super long comment 😱
Thank you for sharing your tips Caro! 😄👏 x
Lol when you put sharpie at first I thought they came out with makeup (like crayola did) 😂
Haha not that I'm aware of! 😄🖍 x
Since quarantine I’ve felt so under stimulated which led me back to a depressive mindset which I thought I’d left behind in high school, but I’m slowly making my way back. Idk if it’s like this for anyone else but when I’m depressed I don’t take care of my self so lately I’ve been trying hard to remember to do that and skincare seems to be way in the door at the moment
Glad you've been working your way through this Izzy! It's definitely a tough time so taking time to look after yourself is important ☺️ All the best! x
I've been wearing neon green eyeliner this quarantine lol :) . I'm treating quarantine like a time to try all of the out-there looks I can't usually wear to work. This video is giving me monochrome inspiration though.
Thanks for sharing, that sounds so fun! 😄👏 x
Thanks for sharing! Your videos are so relaxing and informative. Personally a go to for me is a little concealer, blush maybe bronzer if I really want a pick me up
Thank you so much! Sounds like a perfect touch of makeup to cheer you up ☺️ x
So excited about your website! I maintain my balance by keeping my daily routines (including skincare and makeup) and adding some summer work clothes to my usual jeans or shorts. Perks up my mood and keeps me focused.
Thank you Karen! Glad you've found a new groove ☺️👍 x
Loved this video! This grwm format is definitely my favorite 🤍
Thank you! 😄💚 x
That cucumber and mint deodorant sounds like it would smell amazing.
It's so refreshing! I describe it in a bit more detail in my Favourite Scents video 🌿 x
My two things are mascara and lip gloss. Even with my very mottled skin, I feel more put together with those two. I bought the ILIA Illuminator stick because of you. Love it. I can use it everywhere and call it a day. Thank you for that.
Thank you for sharing! So nice to hear you're enjoying that lovely ILIA illuminator ☺️✨ x
Yay! You just made a really long day much much better. Thanks Matilda!
Thank you, lovely to hear ☺️ x
Matilda, your cat looks so cute (from that very brief glimpse)! How do you avoid getting distracted by such an adorable furball when working from home? 🐱 Also, I love that you have matching pens/pencils to your beauty products 😍
It's impossible Kat, they're always sleeping on or next to my desk so they're a lovely distraction! 😸👋 x
I just love your videos so much Matilda. You have no idea how much I look forward to them, they're as soothing and as necessary as lighting a candle and putting on a face mask
Ohh thank you so much! Such wonderful feedback, I really appreciate it ☺️ x
Doing my skincare routine and having matcha lattes is my big musts! I usually don’t get dressed right away I tend to wait until 9am-10am (don’t know why). The main thing I want to change is getting up early enough to finish my breakfast before I start working. Otherwise my food gets cold and and get so wrapped in my work I basically forget to finish it.
I do the same Amanda! Always leaving my breakfast half-eaten and getting distracted by work 😂 x
You got my 2 fav things your channel and stationary (heaven on Earth )
Thank you Jasmine! 😄✏️ x
I thought that NARS product was a foundation at first and was shocked!! I love seeing what you've been doing during this odd time--thanks, Matilda!
Haha I had lots of 'is that a foundation?!' comments on Instagram too 😂 Thank you Elle! x
Your calm videos are perfect specially right now ♥️
Thank you, really appreciate that ☺️ x
I started this quarantine doing my skincare religiously and makeup every few days. Recently it has been tough, i wake up very late and disoriented, not much motivation to do anything. Thanks for the video, i hope to take some inspiration to keep a normal routine again
Thank you Shay! Definitely having some down days too. Hang in there ☺️ x
@@matildaonvideo thank you!! I hope so too. ❤
I only wear makeup on my Zoom call days for work MWF. I've kept it to curled lashes, light reflective concealer, the Undone gel bronzer you turned me on to, and a tinted brow gel with a little pencil if I need it. Clothes-wise I get fully dressed in jeans and a nice shirt every day!
Good for you Jonathan - I put on jeans for the first time in weeks today and my legs were in shock 😂 Sounds like a perfect minimal makeup look! x
Hi Matilda. My name is Tessa and I am watching this from my mom's computer. I love all of your videos, and every time I see one, I get really excited. I love you from Ohio!!
Thank you Tessa, so nice to hear! Hello to you and your Mum 😄👋 x
Love the glossier concealer but does anyone else get dust and tiny bits of fluff and fibres in it? I wish they would change the packaging its also hard with longer nails..
That can happen with any cream product in a pot! It's my favourite type of packaging. I always make sure I only use them with clean hands, keep the packaging clean and always put the lid back on as soon as I've finished with it 👍 x
Love, love the Caudalie serum. A game changer Matilda.....
It's amazing Kerry! 👏 x
Your videos are a absolute perfection! I’m a freelance artist so I have to really listen to when I’m feeling creative and when I need to do more admin work or shipments. I tend to set alarms to remind myself to eat and when to stop working but there are nights I will need to work until 1 am. It’s all about the balance and listening to the creative flow as well as taking care of yourself.
Thank you so much! Very well said - definitely about going with the flow but trying to find some balance too ☺️ x
Your color-coding was calming. Thanks for sharing this. Glad you're well!
Thank you Natalia! Glad you enjoyed it ☺️🎨 x
I’m a medical student. This is final exams period for me and it is all online due to the current circumstances. Sometime I just can’t study. So, my approach to that problem is mascara and some lip and cheek color. I sometimes wear my scrubs and white coat for more productive days.
Thank you for sharing! All the best with your exams 👏 x
love the aesthetic of your videos and your voice is soothing x😍
Thank you! Nice to hear ☺️ x
EARLY! already looks so good ❤️❤️ will definitely use these tips
Thank you Srjana! 😄 Nice to hear x
Hi, M 👋🏼! It’s a beautiful day outside (finally), a bit chilly, but the sun is out! 🌞 Am I outside exercising or enjoying this beautiful Spring weather? Noooo! I’m on my couch and had to watch this twice because I couldn’t hear you over the crunch of my potato chips!!! 😫 MUST STOP EATING AND BAKING! Your video has rescued me! Time to shower, drink some water and start on my refinishing our dining room table project...as soon as I’m done watching your next video! XO’s ♥️
Thank you G! Sounds like a lovely relaxed afternoon of UA-cam and chips 😄🍟 x
Concealer and mascara are my never miss steps
Good call! 👏 x
I’ve been in the mood for lots of balmy and glossy lip products. I get excited to do a light spring time makeup application when I go to the grocery store but then I realized my balmy/ glossy lip products stick to my 😷 mask. So then I started applying colored eye looks instead of my usually very simple nude/ neutral eye makeup. Either way, playing with my makeup during this time makes me happy.
Glad you're finding some joy by getting creative with makeup! ☺️🎨 x
I love that cc blush💕 I wish you much success on your website and business.
Glad you like it too Vicky! ✨ x
my usual skincare routine consists of some rose hip oil, and i’ve been trying out Krave Beauty’s Great Barrier Relief serum and The Beet Shield for sunscreen.
i’m happy to say that it’s been reacting well with my skin. my face is usually gets pretty dry and sensitive (thanks genetics) so trying new products can be difficult sometimes..
and then usually i’ll just go in with some mascara because it makes me feel a little more awake, but i don’t really put anything else on.
awesome video! hope you’re doing well!
Thank you Kate, same to you! I've heard great things about Krave Beauty 👍 x
YES! Skin care is important this quarantine. The colors on this video though! Stay safe Matilda! :)
Thank you Jodie! 😄🎨 x
Matilda, I love your videos and am inspired to take better care of my appearance, too, because of you and your easy recommendations.
Thank you Jennifer! Look after yourself ☺️ x
Just putting a little blush and lipstick makes days seem bearable. I do day to night looks and I've been doing good progress on my project pan.
Agree with the monotone look. I also have been getting use of my liquid lips. I use a tiny bit of gloss before and it changed the way I use liquid lipstick. Gloss is more emoliant than a balm so it helps liquid lipstick be a bit more comfy.
Thanks for sharing! Blush and lipstick always cheers me up too ☺️ x
Wow this video was a breath of fresh air.
Thank you so much Lisa! Such a lovely thing to say ☺️ x
i love your film style! also i really needed these productivity tips, so thank you so much!
Thank you so much Ana! ☺️ x
I just finished last week writing my final work for college and now I’m taking my time 😌 and my love for make up grows. Now that I don’t have to put make up for work I can just sit down admire my collection and play with it ☺️
Congratulations on finishing! Enjoy having a rest ☺️ x
@@matildaonvideo thank you :)
