Editor-at-Large, Sarah Eckenberger.
Hi there, we always love seeing you.
I love being here. I just love to hear your voices
and be by the side of the crew,
you're so kind thank you well we're excited
to see what you think is worth our money and time
well just like we were talking about during
commercial break it's like what are people
talking about what do they love
and so we really like honed in on like what people are looking for
and what they appreciate so starting first
with Biodance you may have seen this before
because this is the mask that goes on your skin
and then actually turns like more of a translucent
color as you were because all the nutrients go into your skin
which i love because i need to
it's actually like penetrating into your skin.
And so you put this on, it's a hydrogel mask and
it works really well with the PDRN,
which is known as a Korean ingredient. And then also
with caviar for your nutrients. So is it one time only?
One time only, it is a one use only. So I love this.
I know. I know we need him to try this because
like just feel how wonderful this is. It looks like silicone almost.
Yeah, it has a great feel to it.
I love it because I'll put this on at night and lay on it,
your skin feels great.
I actually leave it on for
a couple hours.
Really?
I fall asleep with it on and
it kind of falls off my pillow
somewhere.
Does it dry off?
Yeah, it kind of goes into
a clear, almost very lightweight
because this is kind of heavy.
You'll feel this.
All that goes into your skin,
which feels so amazing.
Okay, sounds like a good
Friday night.
It's also cooling and
inflammatory.
Great Friday night plans.
You're open now,
the Dodgers already lost.
So we're ready to take our Friday
night to the next level.
But it's also slimy, so
obviously you have to lay down for
this.
You can't just put it on and
Yeah, so here's what I think,
I like to put it on kind of like lay flat so it really absorbs.
Once it starts like adhere to your skin, you're good to go.
You can actually create movement,
you can move around and you'll be fine.
Oh, I see.
And how often do you do it?
So I do it quite a bit because I just love the way it feels so much.
It's only $5 a mask and so it's not that bad.
Like think of how much you break down your serums to be.
So I'll do like once or twice a week,
kind of depending on what I have going on.
And then sometimes I'll even do it like midday,
like if you just need to like take a little
rest.
Very good.
Okay.
on a clean face. That is key. You have to do a clean face.
Yes. So when it comes to breakouts,
this won the Reader's Choice Award for spot treatment,
because sometimes you don't need
to treat your entire face if you have a breakout.
You just need to treat certain areas.
It contains 6% sulfur. If you don't mind, I'm going to put it on you,
because what's unique about this,
sorry I gave you a lot, is that it's actually like a gel
consistency. A lot of times with sulfur kind
of leaves like a dry cakey mess when it dries down.
This is actually suspended, so it actually absorbs
into your skin. And so you don't have to worry
about it like peeling off on you.
You can actually get the sulfur benefits with this
easy to use mask. You can wear it underneath
makeup. So in the morning you can apply it,
not just at night. But spot treatment.
Spot treatment, yeah. So if you have an angry,
red, inflamed blemish, this is fantastic for that.
Got it. Okay.
Okay, all right. You can put it,
if you do have larger pores, you can also use it
in that area if you do wanna spread it around too.
I'm interested in this. What is this?
Once you use this, you can't go back. This
is my go-to. This is Dove's Serum Oil Cleanser for the body.
It smells so good.
Wait, this is Dove?
This is Dove.
I can't get enough of this because it's a body wash that you can use.
It has your serum ingredients like you use on your face in this.
And so your skin is so hydrated, so soft after using this.
And I have to tell you, I have tried
so many oil cleansers and I'm like,
you're gonna risk your life when you use it
because it makes the shower floor so slippery.
This does not because it actually turns
into like emulsifier and suds up.
Hold on.
So basically like for inside body wash use
this or is this in addition to body wash?
You can use this instead of using a body wash
and your body will thank you. You will love it
because your skin feels so much more like soft
and smooth. It doesn't feel too dry.
You made a mess here. Can kids use this or no?
Absolutely. Yes, absolutely.
Because they get a lot of dry skin, a lot of kids have eczema.
And so this is fantastic, especially
as the humidity levels start to drip down.
We need to use something a little bit more hydrating.
Okay, all right, what's next?
Okay, so we all know if we've reached
a certain age where we need to use
brows enhancers, things to help us
to fill in our brows because we have-
I don't have that problem.
I'm so jealous, so jealous.
You're lucky.
All right, so this is Grande Brow.
This is not only going to enhance your brow growth,
so you can use it as a brow serum,
but you're also get a little bit of fullness, that color from it.
So I use this at least every night, guaranteed.
At night?
At night, I love to use it.
You're just gonna put this on your brows.
And I'm telling you, within six weeks,
you're gonna see a difference with your brows.
They do lashes too, I love the lashes.
It's a different formula for lashes?
So if you have an area in your brow, let's say,
that is a little not as dense, right?
So do that to get that density.
Exactly.
It's like the root vein for brows.
It is, it's like even the tail ends if you want to.
Or say if you're not totally even
and you want a little bit more in the growth in that
area, you can use it for that.
Well, maybe I do need it.
It is fantastic.
How about, is this for brows too?
So this is, once you tube, you're never gonna go back.
Have you tried a tubing mascara?
What's a tubing mascara?
So a tubing mascara, it actually coats
the lashes instead of actually just coloring
the lashes.
And so it's gonna go around the lashes.
That way it's not drying out your lashes
and then it comes off as a tube.
It's so cool.
That's cool.
So you apply it like a mascara.
Excuse my reach.
You apply it like a mascara, but the way it
actually applies, it goes around your lashes.
So do you do one coat or- You can do multiple coats.
So you can do one coat to start, that's fine.
But if you want to build, you can actually do multiple.
And does it make them thicker?
Yeah.
But when you do multiple coats,
you're saying like, do this before the mascara.
This is a mascara.
This is your mascara.
This is your mascara.
It almost looks like you have extensions
on when you wear this because it just like lengthens
too because you're getting that tubing.
And once you also, this is the other key
because we all have TV makeup on right now.
When you take it off, you just need
a little bit of cleanser because it comes like.
Okay.
Gotta try that one.
You gotta try it.
Because once you use it, you can't go back.
You sold me on that.
Yeah.
If you use dry shampoo, if you use styling products,
or if you have an oilier scalp,
you need to use this because this is going
to help to just purify your scalp.
It's going to go in there.
It's like a scrub, a scalp scrub,
plus it's going to also contain your shampoo in there.
It's like a two in one.
So a scrub for your hair and your scalp?
Yes, I know it sounds crazy.
I've never heard of that.
And how often do you do that one?
So you don't need to use this every time you wash your hair.
I would say once, twice a month, depending on what you actually need.
But how long do you leave it in?
It's good too.
That's all, you just really need to kind
of work it in, you'll kind of feel it actually
because it's the sea salt that's in there.
You'll feel it work into your scalp.
It smells like a spa.
I know, doesn't it?
Yeah.
And I love this because
also sometimes you know how your hair can just feel really heavy
and you don't get the volume?
Yeah.
It's typically because you have a lot of oil at the roots.
And so if you use this, it helps to give it
that volume because it lifts all that oil
out of your hair.
So you use this and then you shampoo?
Don't even need to shampoo.
It's your 21.
I'm saving you so many steps today.
Wow, these two are like, and this is for all hair types?
All hair types.
Okay.
Just a couple of times a week,
just to really purify your hair, to give your hair a little
sparkle.
Okay, no shampoo, but could you use conditioner?
Yes.
Okay.
We definitely need conditioner.
So bring that back into your routine.
Not to even all your steps.
Okay.
All right.
Wow, this was really great.
I love it all.
Truly.
Fantastic.
Thank you so much.
