So @weareyouthskincare is a new brand to me and I’ve tried a couple of their products! While I enjoyed all 4 of these, my favorites were the Purity Purifying Light Foam and the Anti-Age Skin Priming & Hydrating Lotion. When I was looking into the brand, I was excited to see that there’s over a decade of r&d behind these products! They target so many skin issues that many of us face like inflammation, aging and acne with innovative technology like plant stem-cells!

My life is so much easier when my skincare product My life is so much easier when my skincare products are multi-functional! I've been trying these products out from @strivectin so let me tell you my thoughts! 💖 The Line Blurfector Instant Wrinkle Blurring Primer is great for the morning after sunblock. As the name implies, it visibly blurs the appearance of wrinkles (even deep-set ones) and also helps makeup last longer. It's SUPER lightweight and almost feels like a second skin so I would definitely wear this on its own. The Super-C Retinol Brighten and Correct Vitamin C Serum contains both stabilized vitamin c and retinol. This is great for getting those powerhouse ingredients in, in one step! These products are available at @sephora .com if you're looking to pick them up! #strivectinpartner #TheBeautyBreakdown #skincare #sephora

With @kahi_official I can just swipe and go! 🏃 The Extin C Balm contains a very high concentration of 26% Vitamin C among balm-type products 🍊 I like to use this in the morning right before I apply the UV Aqua Balm! ☀️ The UV Aqua Balm not only provides my face with SPF protection, but its velvet-y finish acts a great primer for makeup or to wear alone. Finally, the original KAHI Multi Balm is great for nourishing the skin right before bed (or whenever else you find your skin parched!). You can pick up their products on Amazon, Olive Young, or on their official website! #KAHI #TheBeautyBreakdown #MultiBalm #KoreanBeauty #UVAquaBalm #KoreanSkincare #ExtinCBalm #KBeauty

First Impressions: Holika Holika Magic Pole Mascara VS. Benefit They’re Real Mascara Review

So this was a fun first impressions for me because I did it in a slightly different format! In this video/post, I’ll be comparing the Holika Holika Magic Pole Mascara and The Benefit They’re Real Mascara! Don’t forget to subscribe to my channel, The Beauty Breakdown, if you haven’t already because it helps me out a ton 🙂

So let’s get to the breakdown….

Packaging
The Holika Holika Magic Pole Mascara comes in this fun box! It unravels and reveals the mascara! I don’t know why but I think this is so fun! haha.

 

Directions

I feel like everyone applies mascara a little differently so use this however you would normally apply mascara. From my experience, this mascara builds well so you don’t need to worry about applying it a certain way.
Comparison
Here it is! The comparison of the two! As you could see in the video, when I was applying the mascaras, there wasn’t a big different between the two. Application-wise, the Holika Holika one was slightly more lengthening while The Benefit one was more thickening. But you really couldn’t see much of a difference between my eyes.

 

Brushes

The applicators in my opinion are fairly similar. Both have a plastic brush with spikes around the wand. On the tip, there are also some spikes so help apply mascara to the corner and lower lashes. This also helps with separating the lashes. Both brushes were good at preventing clumps.

Wear

Both of these mascaras wore really well. They didn’t flake or smear during the day but at the same time, I don’t have oily eyelids. Although, I don’t think either one of these would do that even if you did have oily eyelids. On a side note, they do have waterproof versions in both mascaras. I don’t like waterproof mascaras since they’re too difficult for me to remove.
Comparison
Between the two, I LOVE both of these mascaras. I would only choose the Holika Holika one because it is a little bit cheaper than The Benefit They’re Real mascara. If you’re looking for a good lengthening mascara, try the Holika Holika one. For thickening, definitely try The Benefit one. But I would definitely recommend both 🙂
Overall: ****
Packaging: ***
Application: ****
Brushes: *****
Wear: ****
