From a cosmetologist’s point of view, I have to say Olaplex and K18 are THE gold standard for bond building products; they are expensive, but they work 😊 I have two tips for using the “No.0” - 1) I put mine in a mister bottle that has a very fine sprayer (I bought my bottle on Amazon - I think the brand is Segbeauty). The finer spray bottle helps get more of the product in the hair and reduces it from running/dripping. EDIT: If you use a spray bottle with a finer mist you still need to hold the sprayer close to/directly on the hair. 2) Close the drain on the sink, cover the whole sink with a plastic garbage bag and lean over the sink while applying the product to the hair; the plastic bag will catch any product runoff which you can then dip your head into 😊 EDIT: You can also use a large bowl instead of a garbage bag over the sink….I just find the bowl method is a little more cumbersome. BONUS TIP: Cover the head with a plastic cap while the products are in the hair; this will allow your natural body heat to help the products penetrate better 😊 If your stylist uses Olaplex in the salon, there is a No.1 and No.2 that can be used during the color process to help protect the hair; there might be an extra charge for it, but it has really helped the condition of my hair when I get it highlighted. Hope this helps 🥰
Jen! L’Oréal age perfect in the white tube is absolutely the BEST tubing mascara ever! I work in healthcare and am underneath a mask every day. It’s amazing! No flaking, smudging, nothing!
BUILT Bars are SOOO good! They aren't icecream, however. But stuff 'em in the freezer overnight, & Holy Deliciousness, Batman! They're dark choco covered protein bars that rival ANY candy bar out there! Cookie dough, mint chip, coconut chunk, salted caramel... 😋👍🏼
For bleached hair I use the loreal wonder water and it has made a HUGE difference! It's like 10 bucks but there are some weeks that I don't even need to use it so it lasts a long while
As someone who finds both gambling and subscription boxes a waste of time and money, I would find nothing fun about that product, but I appreciate you explaining the appeal. I get it now 😁
Ok Jen I got ya on the vibrant hair color care routine! I have been dying or having my hair dyed vibrant funky colors for over 10 years now. I am visually impaired & my dark brown hair was just boring so started out getting an “oil slick” look dye job to balayage, to pastel tips with bold roots etc. So yeah the Olaplex #0 then adding #3 is really good but expensive so I rotate that with Glaze Super Prime spray & layer the Clear Conditioning Gloss over top leave on for 10 to 30 minutes. Check instructions &/or stylist, of course. Glaze is an online, Indy I believe, company u can subscribe to or just order when needed. It is a bit cheaper…$16 & $19 vs $30 each. They don’t have wilder colors but the clear works great! Also & hear me out washing hair in cool or cold water makes the color last way longer & less breakage, hot water opens the hair cuticle & causes the dye to wash out faster. Also washing less often is healthier for dyed hair, use dry shampoo before bed to help keep it from getting funky. Also wetting hair is cool water before going into a pool can be helpful. Sorry for the rant but maybe some of this will help. I get asked a lot about my hair & have done a lot of research on what works for my hair & keeps it healthy. Hair vain here!
I love Olaplex! I know the ingredient that actually repairs your hair is patented. Another product I LOVE and is only around $10 is L'Oreal 10 second Wonder water. Omg that stuff is AMAZING. It makes my hair feel like silk.
LOVE the nyx serum concealer! I can dab a bit under my eyes and on red spots with my finger and it doesn’t even look like I have anything on. It even works fine as an eye base for me, I don’t tend to have oily eyelids tho
I love ❤️ the way you explained the MSCHF X Fenty collaboration!!! When I first saw the pictures I was like hmmm 🤔 okay I don’t understand this but after you had talked about it and how you explain it I totally understand now. You said it so perfectly!! I purchased 3 of the NYX Liquid Shadows and yes they are amazing!!! Best liquid eyeshadows I’ve tried in a very long time!
Okay. I’m definitely gonna try those yasso bars. My ben and Jerry’s consumption is outta control and I’ve got to switch it up. Also gonna give the ULTA foundation a try. I’ve been looking for something not so heavy for casual days.
Oh my! You kicked off with one of my favourite products i started using in August. I really like the Tarte Tubing mascara. I have short, stubby lashes. The Tartlette mascara, lengthens , curls, separates and volumises really well for me.
I am so enticed with this gloss! I hate when glosses are goopy and pill up lip color. I’ve never tried a Kylie product, but you’re selling me on it! Also what’s the green on your eyes? I love how it makes your eyes pop ❤️
Also I'm so glad you reviewed the volumizing eyebrow pencil. I was planning on buying it today and after your review I realized I just want to stick to my brow powder. So thank you for saving me some money! :)
I actually don’t have that issue with the brow pencil. I use 4.5 shade. The powder/fiber cames out fine and it is a lighter application vs the other benefit brow pencils and I quite like it. It’s more natural and fill your brows with a feathery look!
Revolution has dupes for the Olaplex. I know for sure you can find it on Beauty Bay, but I am sure it is available other places, too. I've used both, and I feel like they are pretty similar. I personally use the Olaplex myself, but I'm not a younger teenaged boy. I'm a silly old lady.😜
My favorite low carb/no(to low) sugar is rebel ice cream. My favorite is cherry chip (tastes like cherry Garcia by Ben and Jerry’s), triple chocolate is great and salted Carmel. I also love the butter pecan one. Lots of flavors to choose from.
I love the icecream that you showed. I'm in Weight Watchers ans it's low in points. Those tinted sunscreens are great and I agree are better in the cooler climate for oily skinned people. I just got the Iris and Romeo one and I love it but will use it in cooler weather. I love the Nyx liquid eyeshadow. I wore it with another liquid eyeshadow from a different brand and it was great! Thanks for the video!
I don't know if you have "Carbsmart" in your area but it is soo good! They have regular ice cream, fudge bars and a chocolate coated ice cream bar. (Kinda like a brown mule? Not sure you know what that is...showing my age now! Lol)
I displayed MSCHF X Fenty box too. I enjoy MSCHF products, I have their puzzle I’m working on and I’ve purchased past drops and it’s always been fun and humorous.
I'm a dietitian and diabetes educator and have been recommending Yasso bars to my patients for years! When you mentioned them, I said "Yes!" out loud! Such a good dessert option that actually tastes good.
Isn’t 13g of sugar still a bit high? My husband has diabetes and I had gestational diabetes with my last child so I’m in the habit of looking at that. I usually go for under 10g, closer to 5g. I’m just curious for your opinion since you are a professional and I’m definitely not! 😆
NOT a hairstylist, but you could look into a strong moisturizing leave in conditioner and shampoo. Those that are curly girl approved have no bad ingredients that can dry hair out over time. Depending on his hairtype it is with or without added protein
Yes! 100%! Definitely not a hairstylist either but have curly hair and dyed a third of my hair blue a few years back and maintained it for about a year and a half. My hair was never straw-like, even right after the initial bleaching. I'm sure it was all the conditioners and masks I use for my curly hair.
OMG I totally agree about the benefit brow pencil I got it the first few times I used it I loved it and now I feel like I have to push hard like you said like it’s drying out and I thought it was just me but I’m glad you’re talking about it because now I know it’s the product
Hi Jen, instead of olaplex, try Philip Kingsley elasticizer. It is one product. I put it on damp hair for 20 mins before I wash my hair. It is brilliant. Pauline xxx
I absolutely love the Tarte tubing mascara. I have never had it flake, which is so interesting. I typically love a few tubing mascara’s..hourglass always being my favourite. But this one seems to have replaced it. So interesting to hear different points of view on makeup products..love your video.
I love my blinc tubing mascara. Every once in awhile it will flake. But that’s my fault. That’s super lazy days when I don’t remove my eye makeup. Just a quick wipe down of the rest my face with a cloth makeup wipe. When I’m just too exhausted to stand at the sink longer than brushing my teeth. Once a mth I have to drive my dad for his treatment and it’s an all day venture involving a couple hundred miles. Come home, get the kids in bed and crash myself. And of course the next day is rough on me (I’ve had four back surgeries so those trips kill my body) I digress.. it only seems to do that once it’s toward the end of its life and drying out more.
GM! I am SHOCKED the Kylie gloss is on the list at all, let alone spot #2??? Oh boy. As a gloss junkie I may have to get some! 🤔🤭🤔 Thank you and enjoy the weekend! 💜
Sorry to comment so much - been commenting as I watch the video. So the nyx liquid eyeshadows I have tried are the green and blue - super patchy. But I will say the one you reference is fantastic.
Yaaaassss to the YASSO! Lol I'm currently losing weight but I can't completely skip out on everything- I'll go nuts. These bars have been amazing! I get my delicious sweet treat but its not a complete diet buster.
The L'oreal Everpure Strengthening Shampoo and Conditioner and In-Shower Acidic Glaze work very well to repair damaged hair. I've used the Olaplex kit and Redken Acidic Bonding treatments as well. I learned from Aka Aislinn that Redken is owned by L-Oreal so the cheaper alternatives have very similar formulas and ingredients, and for me and my husband they work quite well. We both have bleached and vibrant colored hair.
Hi Jen, I love Arctic Zero vegan frozen desert. It has very low sugar, is plant based, tastes wonderful and is only 160-180 calories for an entire pint
I’m a hairstylist and there is nothing like Olaplex, it’s patented technology there’s lots of deep conditioners out there but nothing like the Olaplex system, there is a Schwarzkopf Tribond system for repairing bonds in the hair but it is also expensive. With the No 0 you don’t need to get the hair soaked with it just make sure to evenly apply it and Comb through
Jen, I’m still watching but I’m at 15:19 minutes and your talking about Olaplex! I use all of the Olaplex products. When someone that I know wants to purchase them they’ve always been able to go through me since I’ve kept my hair stylist license active even though I’m no longer a hair stylist! It is so so much CHEAPER to purchase Olaplex from a beauty supply house that only sells to licensed hairstylist and aestheticians. I always encourage people to ask their own friends and hair stylists to ask them “Hey when you go to the beauty supply store(s) would you mind picking up these Olaplex products or any other brand. It’s so so much cheaper.
Yes Olaplex alternative L’Oréal EverPure Sulfate-Free Color Care Bond Strengthening Shampoo & Conditioner. I never use drugstore hair products but tried this n am really impressed and I’ve bed. Using Olaplex for years.
I always wear tubing mascara, so I was really pleased to see Tarte had brought one out. I live in the UK, and this came out on QVC as part of a TSV. I would have kept the set if this had lived up to expectations even though the rest of the items were just ‘meh’, but this mascara was terrible. It flaked during the day which none of my other tubing mascaras do, and it didn’t come off with warm water either. After years of wearing tubing mascaras, I can honestly say this is one of the worst I have tried !
The JVN Johnathan van Ness products are supposed to be really good. My daughter uses it for scalp issues (her hair is currently in its natural form.) We live in New Zealand and the JVN products are cheaper than Olaplex. Don't know about in the US. Both are at Sephora here.
Having gone from a natural midtoned brunette to baby pink i totally recognise what your son has faced! Alternatives to olaplex Knight and Wilson pureplex you can get a kit which includes a large sample of a clarifying shampoo and a conditioner but you can use the 2 treatment steps with any shampoo and conditioner you regularly use. If you do use the clarifying shampoo be warned the hair will feel worse before it gets better once you apply step 3! Revolution have a plex line but I've not tried it yet. Another couple of products that work differently but make an instant noticeable texture difference are loreal wonder water and glaze conditioning gloss (these are primarily designed with a colour tint to prolong yourhair colour but theres a clear one that your son could use with blue hair) and you can use them in conjunction with olaplex or your regular hair care system xx
Omg that Kylie plumping gloss is strangely good! Got it in Rose & Chill which is a great cool toned pink. And the NYX glow shot is so shiny & fun, got in Come Thru Coconut shifts wife, cream, yellow. Jfyi Juvia’s Place has some liquid shadows with their last garden collection & omg soooo pretty & the duochrome shifts, recommend Ankara. r.e.m Beauty also has great ones too and their are 11 shades to chose from, I grabbed Lab Coat which has a pretty pink/lavender shift.
I watched you unbox it and As for The mischf x Fenty I thought the packets looked like they had such a small amount in them. Like enough ketchup for 1 fry and lipgloss for one application/packet. 😝😆
Tarte Tubing Mascara seems to be really polarizing. It has been my every-day mascara this summer for work and have not had any flaking, but I do wish it came off like other tubing mascaras. Thrive is still my favorite in the category, any maybe overall mascara. I tried the Tula Skin Tint but am shelving it until winter when I need the boost.
We love Yasso! My fiancé is a diabetic so has to be very conscious of his sugar, but occasionally enjoys a sweet treat with frozen yogurt. Yasso is our go-to - just the right about of sweet without that “diet” flavor.
Try using just olaplex 3 after washing,let it sit for 30 minutes to get the full repair and then shampoo and condition, I have only used the 3, 4 and 5 at home and my understanding is that the 0 doesn't do that much. I used only the 3 and it worked for me. I also love the bonacure mask for color treated hair ( the pink one). Other brands with similar products to olaplex that I know of are k18 ( more expensive though) redken and joico but I have only tried the k18 and I had to use it 6x to notice a small change in my hair but I do think it's more permanent, the olaplex needs to be repeated, I stopped using it and I felt little pieces of broken hair on my back after washing.
Hi Jen, as an older lady who has bleached coloured my hair for years, I’ve found products that work, recommended by ask aislin?? Redken acidic bonding concentrate shampoo (7%)and conditioner (11%) I also use the leave in conditioner(5%). Olaplex 1,3,6,7 these have been a lifesaver for coloured hair
I really like Bumble and Bumble invisible Oil for my hair. The primer leaves my hair so soft and I like that is a spray that I can use after washing the hair and then I just let it air dry. It’s not much cheaper than the Olaplex though.
Thank you for mentioning the Yasso bars! I love the mint chocolate chip flavor. I have one child who is tiny on the weight percentiles, and we encourage them to eat extra for their growth. Those bars are a yummy source of decent calories.
I am absolutely loving Olaplex. Been using all the products for 10 months. Two years ago, after having covid. I lost so much hair. I have fine thin hair to begin with. Tried the Nioxin. No improvement. Since I have been using Olaplex, my hair has grown so long, is in fantastic condition (and I color treat every month). I never really cared what I used in my hair ever. But I LOVE Olaplex, even the hair mask and oil. Yup, me using oil..never thought that would happen.
Glad to know I’m not alone in that venture. I was losing hair soo bad. My mom was too. So much so she cut her hair all off. Her grandkids didn’t hardly recognize her. She chopped it than dyed it purple! I wish I would have known olaplex would have helped. Guess I can pass the info along if I know anyone else that has that problem.
@@Bubbles_Hill oh wow. Your Mom sounds awesome! Love the purple hair idea. I hope Olaplex works for you. I know first hand how distressing the hair loss feels. Hope things get better soon.
Cheaper alternative for olaplex: inkey list bond repair hair treatment. Not exactly the same but olaplex works because it repairs the bonds in your hair. You could try the inkey list one to see if it has similar results. It might be less potent, so you might want to try it out for a bit. Maybe even using olaplex for the summer when he’s in the pool and using inkey list in the off-seasons to maintain the health of his hair.
The Caliray tubing mascara did the same to me - just broke off in chunks as soon as it dried. Massive chunks all over my cheeks. I'd rather that a mascara just smudge, at least I get a smokey eye effect when that happens.
I use olaplex 0,3,4,5,6 & 8 to fight my eczema and protect my hair length. So, I feel the price. 🥴 Lately, I've been trying Revolution plex. It's way cheaper and is working similarly.
Ok, so I know I will be perceived as one of those freaking know-it-alls....but here goes: sugar is a carb. So anything with high sugar is gonna be high carb. Veggies are carbs too.... but ones with high nutritional value and density. By all means avoid those nutritionally void carbs (such as sugar) and go for the better ones. Your body needs them. And Yasso bars are totally YUMMMMM! PS: love all your content Jen. Thank you 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
In regards to Olaplex dupes, I'm not entirely sure if any exist. I've heard of makeup revolution making dupes, but my hair so picky I'm afraid to pick it up. I usually wait for the sephora sale to grab olaplex for a discount.
I have pink hair and I use olaplex no.3 every so often for a deep treatment and no.9 for regular maintenance. As far as alternatives, I haven’t really heard of anything cheaper to be honest. I know some brands are coming out with their own “bond repair” lines like Bumble and Bumble, Redken, etc. but I don’t think they’re much cheaper.
I just purchased Olaplex products for the first time (protector, shampoo, conditioner) and I really like them. I only wash my hair twice a week and use the protector every other week, so I can justify the price.
I may have missed something but do you not do the Ulta 21 Days of Beauty videos anymore? I come here every sale for your input on them but I can’t find any this sale…
I just love watching your videos! I always feel inspired and that your recommendations are genuine. 😍😁 alternatives to Olaplex is quite hard since some parts if the formula/ingredients are patented (not sure I spelled that correctly 🤔). I've heard people talking about the k18 mask as being as good or better than Olaplex. Where I live k18 is 1/4 to about 1/3 if the price of Olaplex. Might be worth checking out 🙂👍
So many awesome products, especially the eye ones. They're stunning. I totally thought the ketchup and Fenty collection was going to be number 10, but I appreciate your explanation. That makes total sense. The Tula skin tint, totally sounds like a Wish description. Lol. The name is so long, made me laugh. Lol. The only dupe for the Olaplex that I've seen is by Revolution and I have no idea if it's good or not. You might want to check out reviews or UA-cam videos about it and see if anybody's had any success with it. See you on Sunday.
Halo Top is awesome if you like high protein. I can't eat most of those low cal treats because of the stevia or other sugar alternatives give me migraines.
Olaplex rescued my hair, too, after too much at-home bleaching/dyeing (went from dark brown to blue). I hadn't tried anything from them so I got a couple of starter kit sorts of things and actually found it to be a good value.
From a cosmetologist’s point of view, I have to say Olaplex and K18 are THE gold standard for bond building products; they are expensive, but they work 😊
I have two tips for using the “No.0” - 1) I put mine in a mister bottle that has a very fine sprayer (I bought my bottle on Amazon - I think the brand is Segbeauty).

So, I get the "display as art" idea. That's kind of what sucked me into the mac x keith haring lipstick. Sometimes a little fun is necessary.
OLAPLEX NO 9!!! I could never justify the prices of the others but one pump if that stuff everyday and I’m good and it lasts cause of the consistency.
I love Olaplex! I know the ingredient that actually repairs your hair is patented. Another product I LOVE and is only around $10 is L'Oreal 10 second Wonder water. Omg that stuff is AMAZING. It makes my hair feel like silk.
This is the wildest thing ever....I'm watching your video and eating this ice cream at this very moment!!! They are delicious. What a coincidence.

I’m a hairstylist and there is nothing like Olaplex, it’s patented technology there’s lots of deep conditioners out there but nothing like the Olaplex system, there is a Schwarzkopf Tribond system for repairing bonds in the hair but it is also expensive. With the No 0 you don’t need to get the hair soaked with it just make sure to evenly apply it and Comb through
Jen, I’m still watching but I’m at 15:19 minutes and your talking about Olaplex! I use all of the Olaplex products. When someone that I know wants to purchase them they’ve always been able to go through me since I’ve kept my hair stylist license active even though I’m no longer a hair stylist! It is so so much CHEAPER to purchase Olaplex from a beauty supply house that only sells to licensed hairstylist and aestheticians.
I always encourage people to ask their own friends and hair stylists to ask them “Hey when you go to the beauty supply store(s) would you mind picking up these Olaplex products or any other brand. It’s so so much cheaper.
QVC usually has a set of a jumbo number 3 and two of the 0’s if that is helpful. I think I paid quite a bit less than regular retail too
Olaplex is always at TJ Maxx and Marshalls for WAY less-like half the price or less!
Yes Olaplex alternative L’Oréal EverPure Sulfate-Free Color Care Bond Strengthening Shampoo & Conditioner. I never use drugstore hair products but tried this n am really impressed and I’ve bed. Using Olaplex for years.
I always wear tubing mascara, so I was really pleased to see Tarte had brought one out. I live in the UK, and this came out on QVC as part of a TSV. I would have kept the set if this had lived up to expectations even though the rest of the items were just ‘meh’, but this mascara was terrible. It flaked during the day which none of my other tubing mascaras do, and it didn’t come off with warm water either. After years of wearing tubing mascaras, I can honestly say this is one of the worst I have tried !
Thank you so much for the reviews, that NYX glitter Eyeshadow may be for me😍
The JVN Johnathan van Ness products are supposed to be really good. My daughter uses it for scalp issues (her hair is currently in its natural form.) We live in New Zealand and the JVN products are cheaper than Olaplex. Don't know about in the US. Both are at Sephora here.
Omg yes love Yasso, try the coffee or mint ones!!
I LOVE Yasso!! I have one almost daily 😅
Natural Mongolian hair to level 8 blond for years, nothing beats Olaplex. The number one is in ma cart as we speak! LoVe that!!
Hey Jen, make-up revolution do their own version of the olaplex. Could be worth a try xx
yasso! yes!! the kids love them, too lol
Having gone from a natural midtoned brunette to baby pink i totally recognise what your son has faced! Alternatives to olaplex Knight and Wilson pureplex you can get a kit which includes a large sample of a clarifying shampoo and a conditioner but you can use the 2 treatment steps with any shampoo and conditioner you regularly use. If you do use the clarifying shampoo be warned the hair will feel worse before it gets better once you apply step 3! Revolution have a plex line but I've not tried it yet. Another couple of products that work differently but make an instant noticeable texture difference are loreal wonder water and glaze conditioning gloss (these are primarily designed with a colour tint to prolong yourhair colour but theres a clear one that your son could use with blue hair) and you can use them in conjunction with olaplex or your regular hair care system xx
Omg that Kylie plumping gloss is strangely good! Got it in Rose & Chill which is a great cool toned pink. And the NYX glow shot is so shiny & fun, got in Come Thru Coconut shifts wife, cream, yellow. Jfyi Juvia’s Place has some liquid shadows with their last garden collection & omg soooo pretty & the duochrome shifts, recommend Ankara. r.e.m Beauty also has great ones too and their are 11 shades to chose from, I grabbed Lab Coat which has a pretty pink/lavender shift.
I absolutely love your eye look today Jen!
I watched you unbox it and As for The mischf x Fenty I thought the packets looked like they had such a small amount in them. Like enough ketchup for 1 fry and lipgloss for one application/packet. 😝😆
Tarte Tubing Mascara seems to be really polarizing. It has been my every-day mascara this summer for work and have not had any flaking, but I do wish it came off like other tubing mascaras. Thrive is still my favorite in the category, any maybe overall mascara. I tried the Tula Skin Tint but am shelving it until winter when I need the boost.
Thx jen so helpful as always ☺️
With my 68 year old dry skin that NYX concealer works for me.🥰
Shea Moisture leave in conditioner from Target is nice.
We love Yasso! My fiancé is a diabetic so has to be very conscious of his sugar, but occasionally enjoys a sweet treat with frozen yogurt. Yasso is our go-to - just the right about of sweet without that “diet” flavor.
Try using just olaplex 3 after washing,let it sit for 30 minutes to get the full repair and then shampoo and condition, I have only used the 3, 4 and 5 at home and my understanding is that the 0 doesn't do that much. I used only the 3 and it worked for me. I also love the bonacure mask for color treated hair ( the pink one). Other brands with similar products to olaplex that I know of are k18 ( more expensive though) redken and joico but I have only tried the k18 and I had to use it 6x to notice a small change in my hair but I do think it's more permanent, the olaplex needs to be repeated, I stopped using it and I felt little pieces of broken hair on my back after washing.
Hi Jen, as an older lady who has bleached coloured my hair for years, I’ve found products that work, recommended by ask aislin??
Redken acidic bonding concentrate shampoo (7%)and conditioner (11%) I also use the leave in conditioner(5%). Olaplex 1,3,6,7 these have been a lifesaver for coloured hair
I really like Bumble and Bumble invisible Oil for my hair. The primer leaves my hair so soft and I like that is a spray that I can use after washing the hair and then I just let it air dry. It’s not much cheaper than the Olaplex though.
Thank you for mentioning the Yasso bars! I love the mint chocolate chip flavor. I have one child who is tiny on the weight percentiles, and we encourage them to eat extra for their growth. Those bars are a yummy source of decent calories.
I bought the Tarte Mascara two weeks ago and it flaked from the get go, wish I had seen this earlier!
Just got some Yasso at the store, lol. When I have one tonight I'll let you know
I like the Yasso mint chocolate chip ones.
I am absolutely loving Olaplex. Been using all the products for 10 months. Two years ago, after having covid. I lost so much hair. I have fine thin hair to begin with. Tried the Nioxin. No improvement. Since I have been using Olaplex, my hair has grown so long, is in fantastic condition (and I color treat every month). I never really cared what I used in my hair ever. But I LOVE Olaplex, even the hair mask and oil. Yup, me using oil..never thought that would happen.
Glad to know I’m not alone in that venture. I was losing hair soo bad. My mom was too. So much so she cut her hair all off. Her grandkids didn’t hardly recognize her. She chopped it than dyed it purple! I wish I would have known olaplex would have helped. Guess I can pass the info along if I know anyone else that has that problem.
@@Bubbles_Hill oh wow. Your Mom sounds awesome! Love the purple hair idea. I hope Olaplex works for you. I know first hand how distressing the hair loss feels. Hope things get better soon.
I almost grabbed the nyx glow shot the other day, but I put it back because I have been let down by nyx in thr past. Glad to know it is actually good!
Cheaper alternative for olaplex: inkey list bond repair hair treatment. Not exactly the same but olaplex works because it repairs the bonds in your hair. You could try the inkey list one to see if it has similar results. It might be less potent, so you might want to try it out for a bit. Maybe even using olaplex for the summer when he’s in the pool and using inkey list in the off-seasons to maintain the health of his hair.
The Caliray tubing mascara did the same to me - just broke off in chunks as soon as it dried. Massive chunks all over my cheeks. I'd rather that a mascara just smudge, at least I get a smokey eye effect when that happens.
I enjoy Yasso bars too. I love the chocolate mint!
My benefit pencil is very pigmented and I actually have to be careful and apply very soft pressure so it doesn’t apply too dark
I use olaplex 0,3,4,5,6 & 8 to fight my eczema and protect my hair length. So, I feel the price. 🥴 Lately, I've been trying Revolution plex. It's way cheaper and is working similarly.
Ok, so I know I will be perceived as one of those freaking know-it-alls....but here goes: sugar is a carb. So anything with high sugar is gonna be high carb. Veggies are carbs too.... but ones with high nutritional value and density. By all means avoid those nutritionally void carbs (such as sugar) and go for the better ones. Your body needs them. And Yasso bars are totally YUMMMMM! PS: love all your content Jen. Thank you 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
In regards to Olaplex dupes, I'm not entirely sure if any exist. I've heard of makeup revolution making dupes, but my hair so picky I'm afraid to pick it up. I usually wait for the sephora sale to grab olaplex for a discount.
Hallo, the Ulta foundation is 50% through Sat. too.
Oh I love that nyx concealer
The same thing happened to me with the Tarte tubing mascara. It flaked under my eyes.
I used the new Benefit brow pencil once and liked it so far. I usually use powder and this was a bit quicker for me.
I have pink hair and I use olaplex no.3 every so often for a deep treatment and no.9 for regular maintenance. As far as alternatives, I haven’t really heard of anything cheaper to be honest. I know some brands are coming out with their own “bond repair” lines like Bumble and Bumble, Redken, etc. but I don’t think they’re much cheaper.
I just purchased Olaplex products for the first time (protector, shampoo, conditioner) and I really like them. I only wash my hair twice a week and use the protector every other week, so I can justify the price.
My son has blue hair too! 😍
Halo top is decent ice cream.
If you like chocolate the Breyers carb smart fudge bars are so good and only 60 calories.
I may have missed something but do you not do the Ulta 21 Days of Beauty videos anymore? I come here every sale for your input on them but I can’t find any this sale…
I swear by the Good Pop chocolate bars. They are a “healthy” fudgesicle. So rich and creamy, I prefer them over the real thing.
I just love watching your videos! I always feel inspired and that your recommendations are genuine. 😍😁 alternatives to Olaplex is quite hard since some parts if the formula/ingredients are patented (not sure I spelled that correctly 🤔). I've heard people talking about the k18 mask as being as good or better than Olaplex. Where I live k18 is 1/4 to about 1/3 if the price of Olaplex. Might be worth checking out 🙂👍
Looked it up and the K18 mask is $75 for 50 mL while Olaplex is $30 for 100 mL.
@@krie6336 unfortunately the price seems to differ between countries 😕
So many awesome products, especially the eye ones. They're stunning.
I totally thought the ketchup and Fenty collection was going to be number 10, but I appreciate your explanation. That makes total sense. The Tula skin tint, totally sounds like a Wish description. Lol. The name is so long, made me laugh. Lol.
The only dupe for the Olaplex that I've seen is by Revolution and I have no idea if it's good or not. You might want to check out reviews or UA-cam videos about it and see if anybody's had any success with it.
See you on Sunday.
Yes! Yasso is the BEST! Yummmmmmmmmo
Halo Top is awesome if you like high protein. I can't eat most of those low cal treats because of the stevia or other sugar alternatives give me migraines.
Olaplex rescued my hair, too, after too much at-home bleaching/dyeing (went from dark brown to blue). I hadn't tried anything from them so I got a couple of starter kit sorts of things and actually found it to be a good value.
