I love that you talked about your health and taking care of yourself. It’s nice to know you’re a real person and is a good reminder to make the appointments we need and to do them even when they make us anxious.
I work at a derm clinic, and we do so many full skin exams!! The reality is that we don't remove a "lot" of moles. The most likely scenario is that your dermatologist will use a lumio light (large bright magnifying glass) or dermatoscope (google them- they are seriously cool tools!) to look really closely at the pigmentation pattern and vascularity (blood supply) of spots on your skin. You'd be surprised- often some spots we (personally) think are "bad" are totally fine, and the spots you don't even think about may be problematic. If you have SEVERAL slightly weird-looking nevi, they will probably mark them on a chart and take pictures of them. They then will advise you to return in about 3 months to recheck those sites you are watching. If they don't change within the three months, they will probably just be sites they look at each year when you come in for your full skin exam. Something we tell our patients to look for is the "ugly duckling." Even if you make really dark moles or freckle easily (these can be "moles," which are nevi, or lentigines, which are sun-related changes), if you have several that all kind of look the same (same depth, same pigmented pattern), they are probably okay to keep. Remember that your health care is entirely yours. Your dermatologist will usually give three options for any moles they find look atypical: 1) watch the site (take pictures and recheck to look for change), 2) take a SHAVE BIOPSY (this is like a deep scrape and have minimal risk of scarring, or 3) take a PUNCH BIOPSY, which they may call "punch excision." The punches WILL leave scarring- you might have seen videos of this done, but they take a little cookie cutter of your skin to hopefully get a small margin on that site so if it DOES come back as atypical when they send it to pathology, the margins are clear and you do not need additional surgery. If your derm is NOT comfortable with any of those options, they will let you know. Atypical moles have the POTENTIAL to progress into melanoma (the big scary skin cancer), which is why we remove them. However, if you have many of them, removal of all of them is not only a huge medical burden, it's a huge financial burden on YOU and it takes time away from other patients who may have more pressing needs (just being honest here). You can always opt to remove any mole, regardless of if it's atypical or totally fine, but what I'm getting at here is usually the best thing to do there is just to watch them. At your age, I would be SURPRISED if your derm pulls out the liquid nitrogen. We use liquid nitrogen to destroy the damaged cells in actinic keratoses- these are "precancers" because about 10% of those spots turn into a cancer called Squamous Cell Carcinoma. You will probably have some level of actinic damage and sun damage (who doesn't??), but if you already have spots they want to freeze, take that pretty seriously. There is NO CURE for actinic keratoses, but freezing (cryotherapy) can manage them. They can look pretty rough after freezing.... but it's way better than the topical treatment. We have seen patients in their mid 20s have skin cancers, including squamous cell and basal cell, so this is so important and I love that you are getting preventative exams!!! PS- don't wear any nail polish. Your derm will look at your nails and nail beds. If you have polish on, we work around it, but if you want a complete and total check, get your pedicure AFTER your appointment. And please don't wear any fragrance!! Derms see a LOT of contact allergies, and many of our patients are allergic to fragrance. This goes for heavily scented body lotion as well. Even if you smell "good," (the fragrance isn't overpowering or whatever else), it can still be enough to trigger somebody's allergies.
This was so helpful, thank you! I'm on medication that raises my risk for skin cancer so I'm going to visit the derm for the first time to get checked out and you completely calmed my nerves about it. Have a great day!
Yeah everything you said has been my experience. I got diagnosed with melanoma when I was 30 and my Dr made a chart of moles she was slightly concerned about to reference when I come in each year. Often I don't have to have anything removed. But I have had 2 others since the melanoma that I was concerned about and had them remove because they worried ME. and they totally respect that because they know I check myself regularly to look for any changes. 1 of them did come back severely dysplastic and they treated it like it was melanoma so I had to go see a general surgeon again to have a larger area around it removed. The margins were clear of abnormal cells so that was good. But I don't mind going at all. I feel like there's hardly any pain when they remove a mole. Not a big deal.
I do microblading!! My biggest advise is really ask questions of your technician. Ask about their process, their products, ask to see their work, and about colour theory and how colour heals on different undertones of skin. The more you discuss during consultation the better! Any technician who can't/isn't interested in discussing these questions is not worth seeing in my opinion. Definitely shop around and see who's style and approach suits you best. Also definitely ask about accreditation/education and insurance because those are things that are often left out of the discussion out of trust but it is so important to be sure you're going to someone reputable. ✨❤️
reproductive health discussions are never TMI! it shouldn't be a taboo subject for anyone. it should be able to be spoken about as casually as your derm discussion.
Love that this is stuff that you actually WANTED to try, for you! I love how you're kind of reformulating your channel. Do what makes you happy and we'll just follow along ☺️
Ok girl your explanation of that bronzer is on point! That’s summertime makeup goals for me! I was dying at the specificity of it. Love you girl keep it up! You’ve always been true to you and I love that 💛
I have always had lots of moles/ freckles and never really thought about skin cancer. I've never sun tanned much and took care of my skin. At 35, I had a mole that turned black and had it removed, it turned out to be malignant melanoma. It was so scary and changed my life forever. But honestly, it was all ok. My point to this message.... is that good for you😊for being proactive in your skin care and getting checked out. Your message is a positive one, that its ok to checked before something is wrong. I am grateful for my dermatologist and he has taught me so much knowledge of what to watch for. I went from being terrified that I will get melanoma again, to being in control of my health. If i catch it early again, all will be ok. Sorry for long message but I am moved that you've shared this and wanted to share. All the best in your dermatologist visit. 💖
I've had a few moles removed - you don't need to be nervous about the procedure. My incisions also healed flat, a little discoloured (lighter than my skin tone) but they weren't indented or pockmarked. It's 100% worth doing particularly if you are skin cancer prone or have a history of skin cancer in your family. Good luck, you will be fine!
I recently got my brows microbladed and I LOVE them. I did a ton of research on local places that did it, so I was confident in my decision on where to go. Call and ask questions so you are more comfortable and know more about the process before you go in and commit! This made me feel less nervous than I probably would have not doing it, but of course I was still a little nervous going in. Make sure you communicate to the artist what you want and make sure you are 100% good with the drawn on shape. The process was pretty painless, but my eyebrows did feel a little bit sore the first day. They will look a little crazy at first, but give them time to heal and follow the aftercare instructions VERY carefully. After the touchup that happens a few weeks after the first session heals (which is usually included in price for most places), you will wake up with beautiful done brows everyday! They look super natural and I rarely wear makeup anymore and feel so much better going out without any on. Only "negative" for me personally is that if I wear a full face of makeup, I still have to fill in my brows the slightest amount or use a gel.
Trust your gut on the second baby thing girl. I waited 4 years, long enough to honor my first sons “babyhood,” and for me to feel ready, and it STILL rocked my world to have a second. Every mom is different, and nobody knows what you’re ready for better than you!
You and I have very similar makeup styles and I have been loving the glossier concealer using it the same way you’ve been using that one from RMS! It’s perfect and so easy to reapply throughout the day if needed 😍
Just what I needed post anxiety attack. I love your videos so much, Jessica, I don’t know what it is about just the way you talk and explain things that just calms me down 💕
I absolutely love your channel! I watch all of your videos because you are so much fun to watch, but I just HAD to mention that seeing three of the four products on the thumbnail be cruelty free made my day!!!
michelle hamby Awww! Congratulations! Enjoy all the little moments! And take lots of videos!! (I did because I wanted to have all his little expressions and noises, pics won't keep that.)
I love that you are taking the UA-cam beauty community back to where it came from. I cannot thank you enough. PR hauls are out of control and between you and Emily Noel, I am enjoying UA-cam way more again ❤️
Jessie, I’m really glad that you’re going to the dermatologist. It’s so important to take care of yourself and keep an eye on things so that if there are any issues, they can be caught early. Thanks for talking about it and being so open and honest. I love a good chatty video to start my day!
You cant please everyone. Some people complain that all gurus use is PR and now some are complaining about you not using PR. As for myself, I love that you’re bringing back a small piece of OG UA-cam 🥰
I'm really loving your makeup lately. You always look great but lately you've just been so much more natural and it looks fabulous on you! Thank you for being so candid about different aspects of your health. It's not TMI to the viewer going through something similar. Always remember that!
My grandma and mother both had melanoma. I’ve been checked every year since birth and have had multiple moles removed. It’s not fun but not bad at all. It’s totally worth it and good way to prevent cancer. Congratulations!!
I have had my brows microbladed for 2 years (color touch up at the one year mark) and I have 0 regrets! I wasn’t nervous at all, because my brows are so thin and light that anything would have been better than that. However, they turned out BEAUTIFULLY! Don’t be afraid, just jump in! You’ll love them ❤️
ive had microblading done 3 times (for 3 yrs now) & i love it/cant live without it. just make sure you are checking out your artist beforehand. you want someone who is going to take at least 2-3 hours for the first visit. that way they are really taking their time to map out the brow shape and help you select the color you want.
I've been so curious about the RMS buriti bronzer as I am fair and I like more of the reddish tone as it would look more natural on my naturally rosy skin. I didnt like the uncoverup especially not as a foundation.
I was terrified to get my eyebrows done but it was hands down the best thing I have ever done!!! I watched my artist for 2 years. She is AMAZING and people travel from all over to see her. I was a product of 90s skinny brows. It’s a process and while healing they look crazy but I wish I would have done it sooner!
I’ve had my brows micro-bladed. I have a hormonal disorder that makes my eyebrows not grow. I was worried, but the lady that did mine was amazing. She was super careful to check with me at every step to make sure I liked them and explained everything. I love not having to fill in my brows (granted I am awful at it, one reason I decided to micro-blade). I recommend researching as much as you can before choosing an artist.
I love the rain here in Indiana, but when they say severe thunderstorm and chance of Tornadoes.. yeah def has me on edge. I agree the weather has been depressing with all these really bad storms 😪
I just got my eyebrows microbladed in April and the touch up in June. I absolutely love it. I feel confident and still put together even without makeup. My brows were like nonexistent before. I just did a lot of research on who in my area did them, and picked them based off that. Instagram was great to see the artists’ work. The girl who did mine mapped out the shape, showed me, and also went over color options with me. I have zero regrets about it!
It’s rainy per usual lately here in Michigan and this video was perfect for my morning!! Also I’m 22 and my mom has me start getting my moles checked so I feel you on that, scary but necessary!
I just went in for my yearly skin check. I’m fair like you, and I have lots of moles, so I’ve been going yearly since turning 40. (four years now) I thought I was good, since last years check was fine, but my dermatologist found a small spot on my nose. She said it could be basal cell carcinoma, so she biopsied it. Thankfully, it came back benign. I’ve been wearing a dedicated spf 50 daily for over 8 years, but apparently it wasn’t enough. I’ve refocused on sun care, and am making an effort to keep my family covered in sunscreen too. My girls are 9, and 11-years-olds, and I slather them daily. My husband is the worst, he forgets to apply it before leaving the house in the morning, so I apply things when he comes home for lunch. It’s an important part of our healthcare, and I’m trying to get better about reapplying throughout the day. Over makeup is the hardest, but I’m finding some options that work. Glad you’re going to see the dermatologist. I’m sure you’ll be fine. Lots of love!
I HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend talking to your hair stylist about tinting your brows. I feel the exact same way as you regarding microblading, and I'm just too scared to do it. After getting my brows tinted I will never go back. Not only does it darken your hairs (obviously) but it makes all these tiny hairs stand out that I never knew I had - it's truly amazing!!!! The first day looks crazy, but then it's beautiful and it only lasts about a month, just in case you don't like it.
I have been using my hands for foundation and one needs a TINY bit and it spreads so easily it is the best way to apply foundation. I'm pulling out that nars foundation rn and get ready with you!
I genuinely love you and your channel! You’re so so relatable (I get the specific scenario with dinner in Hawaii 🤣) I’ve been watching for years and you remain true to yourself and that’s really hard to come by these days. ❤️
I love the rms uncoverup. I pile a good amount concentrating on areas I usually conceal, and I buff it out with a dense brush and then tap with my fingers. I use it in conjunction with powder and it looks like a super natural, medium coverage and lasts really nicely!
Have you ever had your brows tinted? I do my own at home and it makes SUCH a difference. I have blonde brows but a decent amount of hairs. I barely have to use any brow product when they are freshly done. And they fade if you hate them. Try it!
Without a doubt my favourite beauty blogger! I value your opinion so much and always do a quick search of your videos before buying new products! Can't wait to hear your thoughts on the Charlotte Tilbury beauty light wand! Has been my favourite highlighter for ages, and since you said you liked the contour stick so much I've started using that too and LOVE it! Thanks Jessica!
So agree with the brow shade discussion! I have auburn hair and it’s such a pain trying to find a shade for me... so when I find a match, I’ll basically do anything to keep it around.
That bronzer is like instant tan! The new Hourglass blush is really pretty on you too. I agree with you about the weather. I wish summer would kick in gear! I’m tired of all the cool gray days!
Thank you for choosing to receive less PR! Even if it was JUST to reduce waste, it's a noble choice. Also, thank you for sharing your reproductive issues and that you're going to the dermatologist! This sort of vulnerability and honest discussion will help other people have courage to do it themselves. Thank you Jess
"ok we're in hawaii we're going out at night for a drink, everyones kinda sweaty but we're all showered" hahahaha this is why I love watching you so much :p
if you activate the blue light filter on ur ph does that help? Like my ph automatically turns off blue light from dusk 'til dawn right now it's morning so my ph switched from normal to blue light so i manually stitched it bck to off, does this stop the bad light or just minimise it?
@@Mollys-lips As far as I know, that does help. I couldn't tell you how much though, I think it depends on the settings, on the phone etc. I doubt there's a general answer to this. I also have my phone on "eye comfort" at all times, which reduces the amount of blue light, but it's pretty difficult to block all of it.
@@EmanuelaAgent thank you very much fr the reply. In any case I'll continue to keep the blue light filter on, even if just to minimise it. Thanks a mill 👍
I am someone who is covered in freckles and moles! We also have a huge history of skin cancer / dangerous moles in our family so I always try to push people to go to the dermatologist. My Dr told me that raised moles, though ugly, cannot become cancerous so make sure to have them check out all of your flat moles/freckles. Also make sure they CHECK you girl, it can be super uncomfortable but my (female) Dr checks in between my toes, all over my scalp, around my breasts, etc. Shes found some bad looking ones that way and I'm so grateful. I go all the time and still get nervous so I totally understand. Also depending on how your insurance works you can usually get 2 zapped per visit paid for by insurance for "health reasons." Good luck! (:
I CLICKED SO FAST I ALMOST FELL OUT OF MY CHAIR YAY ALSO, there's an ecotools blending and bronzing brush that looks *really* similar to that Sephora brush you love for cream bronzer.. It's soft, doesn't shed, holds its shape after being washed, and works creams in very nicely, maybe it could be a dupe?.. 🤔
I did microblading and I loved it! My brows have been fair and thin my entire life and it was a really good decision. The good thing about it is that because they don’t go in deep to your skin, they do it in two sessions to get the ink to stick. This means if you go the first time and don’t like the shape or color they do, if you don’t go back for your second session, it’ll fade very quickly. My brows didn’t look complete until I went back for my second session!
Not to mention that at least at the place I went to, they double and triple checked my shape and color before they got the needle anywhere near my face. They asked me to come in with my brows filled in like I like them and went off of that. And even then at my second appointment they adjusted the color a bit because I said I would prefer them a little warmer (I’m a red head) and darker. It was a really good experience for me.
Hi Jesica, yes i was so scared to get my eyebrows microbladed but I did and I love them 😍 i got feather stroke and the lady was so good, she asked how thick I wanted them and the colour shade was so good. Just make sure you go to a good one
Paula Stumbo me too! That's totally true, there are sooooo many random places out there that are not good at it, and it's not supposed to hurt that much, even though it's a little bothersome... If it hurts girl, leave that place asap
Don’t be nervous about having your skin checked. I’ve had 2 moles removed, it doesn’t hurt and the scars are smaller than the mole. It’s really important to do!
For your face, dermatologists say to use half a teaspoon of the spf you’re using. Use another half for your neck. I know it sounds like a lot but layering the spf you’re using really helps! Putting one layer and gently rubbing it in until you feel it’s mostly absorbed then adding another makes it super easy to do :D don’t forget protecting your body as well!
Cold pressed Castor oil is great for growing hair in brows or lashes.. works amazingly well and is cost effective. Just brush on a light layer with a clean mascara wand before bed. It is the only thing I use and swear by. Works really well as a deep conditioning treatment for your hair as well when mixed with either almond or coconut oil for your hair! Love your videos Jessica.. been subscribed since your first video. Love how genuine and real you are. Lots of love from India!😘❤️❤️
Thank you so much for this- I was sitting here realizing how 'samey' reviews have become when so many people are using PR or, esp the smaller creators I mostly watch, buying products to review because there is a 'demand' to review whatever is the latest newness. This kind of format is a great way to actually discover a wide assortment of new and older products curated by the individual.
Girl i just tinted my brows at home last night! SUPER EASY and cheap! You might like that for your brows because it fills them in but is less permanent!
These are my favorite videos of yours. I love feeling like I'm just chatting with a friend about makeup. Also, good for you for seeing the dermatologist. I had a suspicious mole removed from my left shoulder when I was around 13. Luckily it was benign. The importance of sunscreen was really never taught to me as a kid, because it just wasn't a big deal when my parents were growing up. I'm 27 now and I'm trying to take better care of my skin. Also, talking about your reproductive health is never TMI. We have some very specific health issues that should be discussed openly. Talking about it casually may inspire some of your viewers to make an appointment for themselves and make sure everything is on the up-and-up. I have endometriosis, PCOS, and my uterus is bicornuate (double), and shaped like a Y. I'm willing to bet a percentage of your viewers have the same issues. It's okay to talk about it. Love you, Jess!
Hi Jess Your videos are getting better everytime .. I love your reviews and your GRWM videos .. very true and authentic I know you have loved the Maybelline Tattoo cream eyeshadow.. can you review the new shades they have? Are they a dupe for the MAC paintpots??
Yay for The Dunes! I live up here:) Buuut, MICROBLADING changed my life!♥️ They numb you. Then numb you again! Then measure it all out, allowing for the differences in each brow, drawing a stencil. I went w them filled in to show her how I like them. I left looking the same, but better. Then a touch up a month later. Healing was really super easy for me &, having multiple autoimmune diseases I do NOT heal well or quickly, but this was nothing! The color was perfection. It's been just over 2 yrs now w/o a touch up. The color Has turned a little warm if ur really looking & I'll get them retouched soon, but a lot of days I don't even bother to fill them in, even to make the colors match. I just don't feel I need to. And, oh man, my brows were AWFUL before. Ppl don't understand... I went to hs & Purdue from '93-'01 so yeah, the tweezing was real af back then. Half of my left eyebrow just refused to grow back! I've wasted soooo much time on eyebrows. Worrying about them. Filing them in. Retouching. Ughhhhh.. Even way before they were a thing to do, I did them. I had no choice lol But yeah, it was honestly the best $$ I've EVER spent, not counting adoption fees for cats 😉 (and I have a 14yo daughter, so that's saying A LOT for microblading 😂😂) I WILL say that apparently my skin holds the pigment really well so that's prob why I've been able to go this long & why I've had such great results, but again, that surprises me bc after my diagnosis, my body stopped retaining tattoo ink. My fewest one actually looks worse than my oldest. It's odd. But microblading uses a pigment & doesn't penetrate as many layers of skin as a tattoo does, which uses permanent ink. So I guess you can't really compare them. Totally dif procedures. THE POINT OF ALL THIS lol is that I'm someone who could have so easily rejected the pigment & had an awful time healing, but it was a breeze! At wonderful! I'd go for it if I were you! 😊😊 You'll prob regret not having done it sooner! -Amy Catherine
I has microblading done last year. Loved it!! I'm just bummed that it's semi-permanent so it's mostly gone already (it fades even faster if you use any kind of actives for skin turnover). I also have a massive fear of red tones (I had hot roots once when I got my hair colored and I will never recover from that horror!) so I did freak out A LOT the next day when it looked like the color was very red. But the artist assured me we chose the right color tone and shade, and all I was seeing was the post procedure inflamed skin. She was right, of course. Within 2 more days the redness had gone and all I was left with were full, rich, perfectly medium brown brows. I miss them!!! So, as long as you get a well vetted artist, you should be fine. And they should show you the final color mix on your skin (mine was swatched on my forehead) so I could see what the end result would be. (Yes, I should have trusted that color swatch, LOL!).
if you go with your brows done to a microblading place, they'll see how you draw and fill in your preferred shape/color yourself, and they can really see what you're asking for and after remove your makeup. Plus, they'll redraw the shape as many times as you want as a stencil until it's perfect before starting the microblading!
You are gorgeous! I just love your honesty! I feel like listening to you is like chatting with one of my friends if that makes sense :) Please keep sharing your thoughts and experiences!
I’ve considered microblading but I’m also unsure. I’ve use so many brow serums and nothing. I’m a teen from the 90’s and went to beauty school so I’m a victim of over plucking and waxing. But!! I started using the neulash serum and holy cow! I’m growing new eyebrows and they are finally getting thicker. I’m blown away. If this didn’t work I was going to give up. It’s expensive. $85. But if you buy on dermstore and save as a favorite you can get 10% off and use ebates and dermstore is usually 4% cash back. Now it’s 15% off when Macy’s has friends and fam and that just ended. I think it also goes on sale in Nordstrom’s up coming huge annual sale. I’m so bloody excited about how much growth I’ve had. I’ve tried grande brow, babe lash and another random brand. Never anything. I’ve been using 4-6 weeks now. Hoping it keeps giving me thicker brows but so far I’m thrilled with what I’ve got. I keep looking at them throughout the day. They look so good. FINALLY! (Oh and dermstore is always free shipping)
Patiently awaiting your hair video! I have the same hair and I can’t get mine as cute as your without looking frizzy! Can’t wait for your recommendations because I snatched up and bought those hair ties ever since you posted that and have been obsessed! No hair tie has worked for my thick curly hair till those! Thank you!
Really like your get ready with me Jessica, I agree with you on the RMS concelear I have it and I find you have to build it up quite a bit and I find when I wear my makeup doesn't last as well or have as nice a finish. The bronzer as eyeshadow looks really nice as well :) :) My holy grail RMS product is the RMS lip to cheek in diabolique as I found it to be the perfect burgandy red colour as its not to bright which is nice and it has the darker hue. When you do new product GRM's it would be great to see check in's every now and then so we can see how it works. Lovely video :) :)
I love when you're just chatty. 💛 I'm definitely interested in what the dermatologist says as well as whatever you're willing to share when you get checked out by the OBGYN. I've been watching several videos lately about menstrual cups and such. I find personal topics like that so refreshing to discuss openly. But I love the new direction your channel is heading. It just feels like we're all maturing together. 👍
I adore you my lord you are one of my faves ❤️❤️ PR can be such an overload and that’s awesome that you have stopped most of the PR and are now acting as more of a consumer in the makeup world. Love this love you keep shinning
Girl I have a lot of moles too! Dont be nervous, just go with it. When I got mine checked they said to really just watch them yourself and see if they change or anything like that.
I was scared as well. It's all about finding the best person around and seeing their work. My neighbor had it done and it was so well done. I went with her lady and mine turned out amazing too! So much so that it inspired my first tattoo at 44. LOL
You cracked me up but I understand fully about your "glowy Hawaii night out" look reference! Your overall look was incredible. I'll have to try the RMS bronzer. I've always used powder bronzer but being a "mature" woman I've been getting into facial oils, BB and CC creams versus full coverage foundations, and highlighting stick from ELF. I use L'oreal micro brow pencil in Dark Blonde. I've tried your recommendations for brow pencils and L'oreal works the best for me. Lash Paradise clumps too much for me so I bought the Wet n' Wild skinny mascara which looks great on my upper and lower lashes. It smells really good too. Thank you for another excellent video. I like your honesty; in a world of so many Beauty & Skin Care UA-camrs I really find you're the most genuine. ☆☆☆☆
As simple as this look is, it's one of my most fav of yours! You look great. Your skin looks amazing, too. I am def going to try the RMS Bronzer, I'm similarly complected as you and I love redder undertones of Bronzer.
I’m so glad you’re going to the dermatologist! Last year I went for a skin check-hadn’t been in years. He removed a few moles that looked sketchy to him and one ended up being melanoma. Luckily it was stage one but I still had to have a chunk of tissue removed. So now I’m a big advocate of getting regular skin checks, and I use sunscreen more religiously. Preventative care is important because you can find things early.
My microblading experience was amazing. I actually was in the same boat as you and was so scared they would screw it up. I researched for 10 months and who i wanted to do mine. I kept looking at work they done and then finally made my choice. Im glad i did it. The girl who did mine chose a few different colours for my brows and asked me what colour i liked best. It was the best decision i ever made.
"it is what it is, I'm doing it anyways" is MOOD all year!!! Yes Girl, so happy for you!!!!
Mazi West I was just going to say something similar! I love this 💕
I love that you talked about your health and taking care of yourself. It’s nice to know you’re a real person and is a good reminder to make the appointments we need and to do them even when they make us anxious.
I love that people are starting to cancel PR. I want to know what people think is worth the money, not just ok to have bc it was sent for free!
Ginger L who else has done this besides Sam r
I work at a derm clinic, and we do so many full skin exams!! The reality is that we don't remove a "lot" of moles. The most likely scenario is that your dermatologist will use a lumio light (large bright magnifying glass) or dermatoscope (google them- they are seriously cool tools!) to look really closely at the pigmentation pattern and vascularity (blood supply) of spots on your skin. You'd be surprised- often some spots we (personally) think are "bad" are totally fine, and the spots you don't even think about may be problematic. If you have SEVERAL slightly weird-looking nevi, they will probably mark them on a chart and take pictures of them. They then will advise you to return in about 3 months to recheck those sites you are watching. If they don't change within the three months, they will probably just be sites they look at each year when you come in for your full skin exam.
Something we tell our patients to look for is the "ugly duckling." Even if you make really dark moles or freckle easily (these can be "moles," which are nevi, or lentigines, which are sun-related changes), if you have several that all kind of look the same (same depth, same pigmented pattern), they are probably okay to keep.
Remember that your health care is entirely yours. Your dermatologist will usually give three options for any moles they find look atypical: 1) watch the site (take pictures and recheck to look for change), 2) take a SHAVE BIOPSY (this is like a deep scrape and have minimal risk of scarring, or 3) take a PUNCH BIOPSY, which they may call "punch excision." The punches WILL leave scarring- you might have seen videos of this done, but they take a little cookie cutter of your skin to hopefully get a small margin on that site so if it DOES come back as atypical when they send it to pathology, the margins are clear and you do not need additional surgery. If your derm is NOT comfortable with any of those options, they will let you know.
Atypical moles have the POTENTIAL to progress into melanoma (the big scary skin cancer), which is why we remove them. However, if you have many of them, removal of all of them is not only a huge medical burden, it's a huge financial burden on YOU and it takes time away from other patients who may have more pressing needs (just being honest here). You can always opt to remove any mole, regardless of if it's atypical or totally fine, but what I'm getting at here is usually the best thing to do there is just to watch them.
At your age, I would be SURPRISED if your derm pulls out the liquid nitrogen. We use liquid nitrogen to destroy the damaged cells in actinic keratoses- these are "precancers" because about 10% of those spots turn into a cancer called Squamous Cell Carcinoma. You will probably have some level of actinic damage and sun damage (who doesn't??), but if you already have spots they want to freeze, take that pretty seriously. There is NO CURE for actinic keratoses, but freezing (cryotherapy) can manage them. They can look pretty rough after freezing.... but it's way better than the topical treatment. We have seen patients in their mid 20s have skin cancers, including squamous cell and basal cell, so this is so important and I love that you are getting preventative exams!!!
PS- don't wear any nail polish. Your derm will look at your nails and nail beds. If you have polish on, we work around it, but if you want a complete and total check, get your pedicure AFTER your appointment. And please don't wear any fragrance!! Derms see a LOT of contact allergies, and many of our patients are allergic to fragrance. This goes for heavily scented body lotion as well. Even if you smell "good," (the fragrance isn't overpowering or whatever else), it can still be enough to trigger somebody's allergies.
This was so helpful, thank you! I'm on medication that raises my risk for skin cancer so I'm going to visit the derm for the first time to get checked out and you completely calmed my nerves about it. Have a great day!
Yeah everything you said has been my experience. I got diagnosed with melanoma when I was 30 and my Dr made a chart of moles she was slightly concerned about to reference when I come in each year. Often I don't have to have anything removed. But I have had 2 others since the melanoma that I was concerned about and had them remove because they worried ME. and they totally respect that because they know I check myself regularly to look for any changes. 1 of them did come back severely dysplastic and they treated it like it was melanoma so I had to go see a general surgeon again to have a larger area around it removed. The margins were clear of abnormal cells so that was good. But I don't mind going at all. I feel like there's hardly any pain when they remove a mole. Not a big deal.
I do microblading!! My biggest advise is really ask questions of your technician. Ask about their process, their products, ask to see their work, and about colour theory and how colour heals on different undertones of skin. The more you discuss during consultation the better! Any technician who can't/isn't interested in discussing these questions is not worth seeing in my opinion. Definitely shop around and see who's style and approach suits you best. Also definitely ask about accreditation/education and insurance because those are things that are often left out of the discussion out of trust but it is so important to be sure you're going to someone reputable. ✨❤️
reproductive health discussions are never TMI! it shouldn't be a taboo subject for anyone. it should be able to be spoken about as casually as your derm discussion.
Seanne Warfield many women are detoxing right now and will soon be able to create any level of a family that they choose 🙏🏽#NEWEARTHISHERE
Thank you! I completely agree. Thanks for bringing it up, Jessica!
Love that this is stuff that you actually WANTED to try, for you! I love how you're kind of reformulating your channel. Do what makes you happy and we'll just follow along ☺️
I just want to sit down and have a heart to heart about life with you over coffee! I just appreciate how genuinely real you are!
Your videos literally make my day! You are such a ray of sunshine through my screen! Thank you for all the work you put into your videos xxx
Ok girl your explanation of that bronzer is on point! That’s summertime makeup goals for me! I was dying at the specificity of it. Love you girl keep it up! You’ve always been true to you and I love that 💛
Jess: You can’t really screw it up
Me: Challenge accepted
trisha escalera 😂😂😂
I have always had lots of moles/ freckles and never really thought about skin cancer. I've never sun tanned much and took care of my skin. At 35, I had a mole that turned black and had it removed, it turned out to be malignant melanoma. It was so scary and changed my life forever. But honestly, it was all ok. My point to this message.... is that good for you😊for being proactive in your skin care and getting checked out. Your message is a positive one, that its ok to checked before something is wrong. I am grateful for my dermatologist and he has taught me so much knowledge of what to watch for. I went from being terrified that I will get melanoma again, to being in control of my health. If i catch it early again, all will be ok. Sorry for long message but I am moved that you've shared this and wanted to share. All the best in your dermatologist visit. 💖
Jess you are just a breath of fresh air th this community. I totally support your decision to stop PR. We love you
I've had a few moles removed - you don't need to be nervous about the procedure. My incisions also healed flat, a little discoloured (lighter than my skin tone) but they weren't indented or pockmarked. It's 100% worth doing particularly if you are skin cancer prone or have a history of skin cancer in your family. Good luck, you will be fine!
Loving this new lighting and setup! As always, you’re glowing!
I love that you are trying products that peaked your interest instead of letting PR dictate that. I’m so excited to watch this 😊
I recently got my brows microbladed and I LOVE them. I did a ton of research on local places that did it, so I was confident in my decision on where to go. Call and ask questions so you are more comfortable and know more about the process before you go in and commit! This made me feel less nervous than I probably would have not doing it, but of course I was still a little nervous going in. Make sure you communicate to the artist what you want and make sure you are 100% good with the drawn on shape. The process was pretty painless, but my eyebrows did feel a little bit sore the first day. They will look a little crazy at first, but give them time to heal and follow the aftercare instructions VERY carefully. After the touchup that happens a few weeks after the first session heals (which is usually included in price for most places), you will wake up with beautiful done brows everyday! They look super natural and I rarely wear makeup anymore and feel so much better going out without any on. Only "negative" for me personally is that if I wear a full face of makeup, I still have to fill in my brows the slightest amount or use a gel.
Trust your gut on the second baby thing girl. I waited 4 years, long enough to honor my first sons “babyhood,” and for me to feel ready, and it STILL rocked my world to have a second. Every mom is different, and nobody knows what you’re ready for better than you!
👋 hey Justine! Thank you - it’s always good to hear others experiences with second babies. ❤️❤️
That looks like the perfect summer bronzer for pale skin! I'm typically not into bronzer but that genuinely looks like you got a little sun!
You and I have very similar makeup styles and I have been loving the glossier concealer using it the same way you’ve been using that one from RMS! It’s perfect and so easy to reapply throughout the day if needed 😍
Just what I needed post anxiety attack. I love your videos so much, Jessica, I don’t know what it is about just the way you talk and explain things that just calms me down 💕
I really love the open chat about preventative health care 💕
I absolutely love your channel! I watch all of your videos because you are so much fun to watch, but I just HAD to mention that seeing three of the four products on the thumbnail be cruelty free made my day!!!
megan walter I have a cruelty free playlist on my channel if you are interested.
I just found out that im pregnant with our first!💙
Congratulations! There's nothing like a new life coming into the world to get excited over. Heart 💓🎉
Congratulations!♥️Sending you lots of love and happiness!♥️
Congrats! 👶
Congrats! So exciting! ☺ 👌
michelle hamby Awww! Congratulations! Enjoy all the little moments! And take lots of videos!! (I did because I wanted to have all his little expressions and noises, pics won't keep that.)
I love that you are taking the UA-cam beauty community back to where it came from. I cannot thank you enough. PR hauls are out of control and between you and Emily Noel, I am enjoying UA-cam way more again ❤️
It’s so gray, rainy and HUMID in Indy. I’m with you, Jess. Totally over it.
My mom had microblading done and she had very minimal brows before and they were such a lifesaver for her brows!!
Jessie, I’m really glad that you’re going to the dermatologist. It’s so important to take care of yourself and keep an eye on things so that if there are any issues, they can be caught early. Thanks for talking about it and being so open and honest. I love a good chatty video to start my day!
You cant please everyone. Some people complain that all gurus use is PR and now some are complaining about you not using PR.
As for myself, I love that you’re bringing back a small piece of OG UA-cam 🥰
Thursday + new Jess video = a great day ❤️
I'm really loving your makeup lately. You always look great but lately you've just been so much more natural and it looks fabulous on you! Thank you for being so candid about different aspects of your health. It's not TMI to the viewer going through something similar. Always remember that!
Anyone else thumbs up Jessica’s video before watching because you know your going to love it?!
I love that this is makeup that you have bought as a lot of the GRWMs I’ve seen lately have all been with the same products that are from PR.
My grandma and mother both had melanoma. I’ve been checked every year since birth and have had multiple moles removed. It’s not fun but not bad at all. It’s totally worth it and good way to prevent cancer. Congratulations!!
I have had my brows microbladed for 2 years (color touch up at the one year mark) and I have 0 regrets! I wasn’t nervous at all, because my brows are so thin and light that anything would have been better than that. However, they turned out BEAUTIFULLY! Don’t be afraid, just jump in! You’ll love them ❤️
I love how real you are and I love your bright personality 💗
ive had microblading done 3 times (for 3 yrs now) & i love it/cant live without it. just make sure you are checking out your artist beforehand. you want someone who is going to take at least 2-3 hours for the first visit. that way they are really taking their time to map out the brow shape and help you select the color you want.
I love your sense of humor Jessica. I’m really having a mood with creams!
I've been so curious about the RMS buriti bronzer as I am fair and I like more of the reddish tone as it would look more natural on my naturally rosy skin. I didnt like the uncoverup especially not as a foundation.
Your personality and character is just glowing from inside out! 😇
I love this! It’s so much more interesting to see what makeup actually catches your eye!
I was terrified to get my eyebrows done but it was hands down the best thing I have ever done!!! I watched my artist for 2 years. She is AMAZING and people travel from all over to see her. I was a product of 90s skinny brows. It’s a process and while healing they look crazy but I wish I would have done it sooner!
I’ve had my brows micro-bladed. I have a hormonal disorder that makes my eyebrows not grow. I was worried, but the lady that did mine was amazing. She was super careful to check with me at every step to make sure I liked them and explained everything. I love not having to fill in my brows (granted I am awful at it, one reason I decided to micro-blade). I recommend researching as much as you can before choosing an artist.
I love the rain here in Indiana, but when they say severe thunderstorm and chance of Tornadoes.. yeah def has me on edge. I agree the weather has been depressing with all these really bad storms 😪
I just got my eyebrows microbladed in April and the touch up in June. I absolutely love it. I feel confident and still put together even without makeup. My brows were like nonexistent before. I just did a lot of research on who in my area did them, and picked them based off that. Instagram was great to see the artists’ work. The girl who did mine mapped out the shape, showed me, and also went over color options with me. I have zero regrets about it!
It’s rainy per usual lately here in Michigan and this video was perfect for my morning!! Also I’m 22 and my mom has me start getting my moles checked so I feel you on that, scary but necessary!
In Michigan here too! GR area. ;) where are you?
I love these more simplistic looks. It really enhances your natural beauty ❤️
If you had to choose just one - would you go with the Chanel Soleil Tan de Chanel bronzer or that RMS one?
I just went in for my yearly skin check. I’m fair like you, and I have lots of moles, so I’ve been going yearly since turning 40. (four years now) I thought I was good, since last years check was fine, but my dermatologist found a small spot on my nose. She said it could be basal cell carcinoma, so she biopsied it. Thankfully, it came back benign. I’ve been wearing a dedicated spf 50 daily for over 8 years, but apparently it wasn’t enough. I’ve refocused on sun care, and am making an effort to keep my family covered in sunscreen too. My girls are 9, and 11-years-olds, and I slather them daily. My husband is the worst, he forgets to apply it before leaving the house in the morning, so I apply things when he comes home for lunch. It’s an important part of our healthcare, and I’m trying to get better about reapplying throughout the day. Over makeup is the hardest, but I’m finding some options that work. Glad you’re going to see the dermatologist. I’m sure you’ll be fine. Lots of love!
I HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend talking to your hair stylist about tinting your brows. I feel the exact same way as you regarding microblading, and I'm just too scared to do it. After getting my brows tinted I will never go back. Not only does it darken your hairs (obviously) but it makes all these tiny hairs stand out that I never knew I had - it's truly amazing!!!! The first day looks crazy, but then it's beautiful and it only lasts about a month, just in case you don't like it.
I have been using my hands for foundation and one needs a TINY bit and it spreads so easily it is the best way to apply foundation. I'm pulling out that nars foundation rn and get ready with you!
I genuinely love you and your channel! You’re so so relatable (I get the specific scenario with dinner in Hawaii 🤣) I’ve been watching for years and you remain true to yourself and that’s really hard to come by these days. ❤️
I love the rms uncoverup. I pile a good amount concentrating on areas I usually conceal, and I buff it out with a dense brush and then tap with my fingers. I use it in conjunction with powder and it looks like a super natural, medium coverage and lasts really nicely!
It's always a good idea to visit the doctor regularly, especially for preventative care. I love the way you're doing your makeup. Thanks for sharing!💖
Have you ever had your brows tinted? I do my own at home and it makes SUCH a difference. I have blonde brows but a decent amount of hairs. I barely have to use any brow product when they are freshly done. And they fade if you hate them. Try it!
Without a doubt my favourite beauty blogger! I value your opinion so much and always do a quick search of your videos before buying new products!
Can't wait to hear your thoughts on the Charlotte Tilbury beauty light wand! Has been my favourite highlighter for ages, and since you said you liked the contour stick so much I've started using that too and LOVE it!
Thanks Jessica!
She is absolutely mine too. 😍😍😍
So agree with the brow shade discussion! I have auburn hair and it’s such a pain trying to find a shade for me... so when I find a match, I’ll basically do anything to keep it around.
That bronzer is like instant tan! The new Hourglass blush is really pretty on you too.
I agree with you about the weather. I wish summer would kick in gear! I’m tired of all the cool gray days!
The basic rule of thumb is a teaspoon of sunscreen for the face! A teaspoon is enough so you won’t have holes for the rays to pop into!
Thank you for choosing to receive less PR! Even if it was JUST to reduce waste, it's a noble choice. Also, thank you for sharing your reproductive issues and that you're going to the dermatologist! This sort of vulnerability and honest discussion will help other people have courage to do it themselves. Thank you Jess
Go for the microblading. I am just like you- dark hair with light brows. I just got mine done and am so happy I did. Wish I hadn't waited so long
"ok we're in hawaii we're going out at night for a drink, everyones kinda sweaty but we're all showered" hahahaha this is why I love watching you so much :p
HEV light is high energy visible light, aka mostly blue light that we get from electronics.
if you activate the blue light filter on ur ph does that help? Like my ph automatically turns off blue light from dusk 'til dawn right now it's morning so my ph switched from normal to blue light so i manually stitched it bck to off, does this stop the bad light or just minimise it?
@@Mollys-lips As far as I know, that does help. I couldn't tell you how much though, I think it depends on the settings, on the phone etc. I doubt there's a general answer to this. I also have my phone on "eye comfort" at all times, which reduces the amount of blue light, but it's pretty difficult to block all of it.
@@EmanuelaAgent thank you very much fr the reply. In any case I'll continue to keep the blue light filter on, even if just to minimise it. Thanks a mill 👍
Jessica I just love how honest and real you are thank you for this video :)
I am someone who is covered in freckles and moles! We also have a huge history of skin cancer / dangerous moles in our family so I always try to push people to go to the dermatologist. My Dr told me that raised moles, though ugly, cannot become cancerous so make sure to have them check out all of your flat moles/freckles. Also make sure they CHECK you girl, it can be super uncomfortable but my (female) Dr checks in between my toes, all over my scalp, around my breasts, etc. Shes found some bad looking ones that way and I'm so grateful. I go all the time and still get nervous so I totally understand. Also depending on how your insurance works you can usually get 2 zapped per visit paid for by insurance for "health reasons." Good luck! (:
I CLICKED SO FAST I ALMOST FELL OUT OF MY CHAIR YAY
ALSO, there's an ecotools blending and bronzing brush that looks *really* similar to that Sephora brush you love for cream bronzer.. It's soft, doesn't shed, holds its shape after being washed, and works creams in very nicely, maybe it could be a dupe?.. 🤔
Yes! I have this brush and it's perfect for cream products :)
I did microblading and I loved it! My brows have been fair and thin my entire life and it was a really good decision. The good thing about it is that because they don’t go in deep to your skin, they do it in two sessions to get the ink to stick. This means if you go the first time and don’t like the shape or color they do, if you don’t go back for your second session, it’ll fade very quickly. My brows didn’t look complete until I went back for my second session!
Not to mention that at least at the place I went to, they double and triple checked my shape and color before they got the needle anywhere near my face. They asked me to come in with my brows filled in like I like them and went off of that. And even then at my second appointment they adjusted the color a bit because I said I would prefer them a little warmer (I’m a red head) and darker. It was a really good experience for me.
Hi Jesica, yes i was so scared to get my eyebrows microbladed but I did and I love them 😍 i got feather stroke and the lady was so good, she asked how thick I wanted them and the colour shade was so good. Just make sure you go to a good one
The energy in this video is everything 🥰
Samantha March had the same experience with the Lawless concealer.
I have my brows microbladed and love it!! I just recommend researching and going to someone you know does quality work.
Paula Stumbo me too! That's totally true, there are sooooo many random places out there that are not good at it, and it's not supposed to hurt that much, even though it's a little bothersome... If it hurts girl, leave that place asap
Don’t be nervous about having your skin checked. I’ve had 2 moles removed, it doesn’t hurt and the scars are smaller than the mole. It’s really important to do!
I live in Michigan and Kalamazoo flooded pretty terribly today. So depressing with the nonstop rain. I’m ready for it to feel like summer!
For your face, dermatologists say to use half a teaspoon of the spf you’re using. Use another half for your neck. I know it sounds like a lot but layering the spf you’re using really helps! Putting one layer and gently rubbing it in until you feel it’s mostly absorbed then adding another makes it super easy to do :D don’t forget protecting your body as well!
Cold pressed Castor oil is great for growing hair in brows or lashes.. works amazingly well and is cost effective. Just brush on a light layer with a clean mascara wand before bed. It is the only thing I use and swear by. Works really well as a deep conditioning treatment for your hair as well when mixed with either almond or coconut oil for your hair! Love your videos Jessica.. been subscribed since your first video. Love how genuine and real you are. Lots of love from India!😘❤️❤️
Thank you so much for this- I was sitting here realizing how 'samey' reviews have become when so many people are using PR or, esp the smaller creators I mostly watch, buying products to review because there is a 'demand' to review whatever is the latest newness. This kind of format is a great way to actually discover a wide assortment of new and older products curated by the individual.
Girl i just tinted my brows at home last night! SUPER EASY and cheap! You might like that for your brows because it fills them in but is less permanent!
Good luck visiting the dermatologist! Our skin is a very important organ! And don't worry about TMI. We're all human here. 😊💖
These are my favorite videos of yours. I love feeling like I'm just chatting with a friend about makeup. Also, good for you for seeing the dermatologist. I had a suspicious mole removed from my left shoulder when I was around 13. Luckily it was benign. The importance of sunscreen was really never taught to me as a kid, because it just wasn't a big deal when my parents were growing up. I'm 27 now and I'm trying to take better care of my skin. Also, talking about your reproductive health is never TMI. We have some very specific health issues that should be discussed openly. Talking about it casually may inspire some of your viewers to make an appointment for themselves and make sure everything is on the up-and-up. I have endometriosis, PCOS, and my uterus is bicornuate (double), and shaped like a Y. I'm willing to bet a percentage of your viewers have the same issues. It's okay to talk about it. Love you, Jess!
Hi Jess
Your videos are getting better everytime .. I love your reviews and your GRWM videos .. very true and authentic
I know you have loved the Maybelline Tattoo cream eyeshadow.. can you review the new shades they have? Are they a dupe for the MAC paintpots??
Yay for The Dunes! I live up here:) Buuut, MICROBLADING changed my life!♥️ They numb you. Then numb you again! Then measure it all out, allowing for the differences in each brow, drawing a stencil.
I went w them filled in to show her how I like them. I left looking the same, but better. Then a touch up a month later.
Healing was really super easy for me &, having multiple autoimmune diseases I do NOT heal well or quickly, but this was nothing!
The color was perfection.
It's been just over 2 yrs now w/o a touch up. The color Has turned a little warm if ur really looking & I'll get them retouched soon, but a lot of days I don't even bother to fill them in, even to make the colors match. I just don't feel I need to.
And, oh man, my brows were AWFUL before. Ppl don't understand... I went to hs & Purdue from '93-'01 so yeah, the tweezing was real af back then. Half of my left eyebrow just refused to grow back!
I've wasted soooo much time on eyebrows. Worrying about them. Filing them in. Retouching. Ughhhhh.. Even way before they were a thing to do, I did them. I had no choice lol
But yeah, it was honestly the best $$ I've EVER spent, not counting adoption fees for cats 😉 (and I have a 14yo daughter, so that's saying A LOT for microblading 😂😂)
I WILL say that apparently my skin holds the pigment really well so that's prob why I've been able to go this long & why I've had such great results, but again, that surprises me bc after my diagnosis, my body stopped retaining tattoo ink. My fewest one actually looks worse than my oldest. It's odd.
But microblading uses a pigment & doesn't penetrate as many layers of skin as a tattoo does, which uses permanent ink. So I guess you can't really compare them. Totally dif procedures.
THE POINT OF ALL THIS lol is that I'm someone who could have so easily rejected the pigment & had an awful time healing, but it was a breeze! At wonderful!
I'd go for it if I were you! 😊😊 You'll prob regret not having done it sooner!
-Amy Catherine
Love low key grwm! Good luck with your obgyn stuffs. Enjoy the only one baby moments! Two kids is more than twice the work! ♥️
I has microblading done last year. Loved it!! I'm just bummed that it's semi-permanent so it's mostly gone already (it fades even faster if you use any kind of actives for skin turnover). I also have a massive fear of red tones (I had hot roots once when I got my hair colored and I will never recover from that horror!) so I did freak out A LOT the next day when it looked like the color was very red. But the artist assured me we chose the right color tone and shade, and all I was seeing was the post procedure inflamed skin. She was right, of course. Within 2 more days the redness had gone and all I was left with were full, rich, perfectly medium brown brows. I miss them!!! So, as long as you get a well vetted artist, you should be fine. And they should show you the final color mix on your skin (mine was swatched on my forehead) so I could see what the end result would be. (Yes, I should have trusted that color swatch, LOL!).
if you go with your brows done to a microblading place, they'll see how you draw and fill in your preferred shape/color yourself, and they can really see what you're asking for and after remove your makeup. Plus, they'll redraw the shape as many times as you want as a stencil until it's perfect before starting the microblading!
You are gorgeous! I just love your honesty!
I feel like listening to you is like chatting with one of my friends if that makes sense :)
Please keep sharing your thoughts and experiences!
Love your videos, so honest and truthful and just easy to watch.
I’ve considered microblading but I’m also unsure. I’ve use so many brow serums and nothing. I’m a teen from the 90’s and went to beauty school so I’m a victim of over plucking and waxing. But!! I started using the neulash serum and holy cow! I’m growing new eyebrows and they are finally getting thicker. I’m blown away. If this didn’t work I was going to give up. It’s expensive. $85. But if you buy on dermstore and save as a favorite you can get 10% off and use ebates and dermstore is usually 4% cash back. Now it’s 15% off when Macy’s has friends and fam and that just ended. I think it also goes on sale in Nordstrom’s up coming huge annual sale. I’m so bloody excited about how much growth I’ve had. I’ve tried grande brow, babe lash and another random brand. Never anything. I’ve been using 4-6 weeks now. Hoping it keeps giving me thicker brows but so far I’m thrilled with what I’ve got. I keep looking at them throughout the day. They look so good. FINALLY! (Oh and dermstore is always free shipping)
I love how excited you are about all the products you mentioned!!
Patiently awaiting your hair video! I have the same hair and I can’t get mine as cute as your without looking frizzy! Can’t wait for your recommendations because I snatched up and bought those hair ties ever since you posted that and have been obsessed! No hair tie has worked for my thick curly hair till those! Thank you!
Really like your get ready with me Jessica, I agree with you on the RMS concelear I have it and I find you have to build it up quite a bit and I find when I wear my makeup doesn't last as well or have as nice a finish. The bronzer as eyeshadow looks really nice as well :) :) My holy grail RMS product is the RMS lip to cheek in diabolique as I found it to be the perfect burgandy red colour as its not to bright which is nice and it has the darker hue. When you do new product GRM's it would be great to see check in's every now and then so we can see how it works. Lovely video :) :)
I love when you're just chatty. 💛 I'm definitely interested in what the dermatologist says as well as whatever you're willing to share when you get checked out by the OBGYN. I've been watching several videos lately about menstrual cups and such. I find personal topics like that so refreshing to discuss openly. But I love the new direction your channel is heading. It just feels like we're all maturing together. 👍
I adore you my lord you are one of my faves ❤️❤️ PR can be such an overload and that’s awesome that you have stopped most of the PR and are now acting as more of a consumer in the makeup world. Love this love you keep shinning
Bless your heart, my cousin has a heart shaped uterus too, two healthy babies, two cesareans, but excellent to get a check up!
I’d love to see you do a video on -if all your makeup disappeared, what’s the first product in each category you’d repurchase?
Girl I have a lot of moles too! Dont be nervous, just go with it. When I got mine checked they said to really just watch them yourself and see if they change or anything like that.
I was scared as well. It's all about finding the best person around and seeing their work. My neighbor had it done and it was so well done. I went with her lady and mine turned out amazing too! So much so that it inspired my first tattoo at 44. LOL
You cracked me up but I understand fully about your "glowy Hawaii night out" look reference! Your overall look was incredible. I'll have to try the RMS bronzer. I've always used powder bronzer but being a "mature" woman I've been getting into facial oils, BB and CC creams versus full coverage foundations, and highlighting stick from ELF. I use L'oreal micro brow pencil in Dark Blonde. I've tried your recommendations for brow pencils and L'oreal works the best for me. Lash Paradise clumps too much for me so I bought the Wet n' Wild skinny mascara which looks great on my upper and lower lashes. It smells really good too. Thank you for another excellent video. I like your honesty; in a world of so many Beauty & Skin Care UA-camrs I really find you're the most genuine. ☆☆☆☆
As simple as this look is, it's one of my most fav of yours! You look great. Your skin looks amazing, too. I am def going to try the RMS Bronzer, I'm similarly complected as you and I love redder undertones of Bronzer.
I’m so glad you’re going to the dermatologist! Last year I went for a skin check-hadn’t been in years. He removed a few moles that looked sketchy to him and one ended up being melanoma. Luckily it was stage one but I still had to have a chunk of tissue removed. So now I’m a big advocate of getting regular skin checks, and I use sunscreen more religiously. Preventative care is important because you can find things early.
My microblading experience was amazing. I actually was in the same boat as you and was so scared they would screw it up. I researched for 10 months and who i wanted to do mine. I kept looking at work they done and then finally made my choice. Im glad i did it. The girl who did mine chose a few different colours for my brows and asked me what colour i liked best. It was the best decision i ever made.
