“I’m Joanna Spicer (@joanna_spicer) and I reside in Los Angeles. I assume the most effective phrase to explain what I do is ‘YouTuber,’ however that phrase makes me cringe exhausting. I believe individuals typically assume you simply lay round your house all day and discuss right into a digital camera…come to consider it, I try this lots, so by no means thoughts. I get to create my very own schedule, which is nice as a result of I hate being informed what to do, however is unhealthy as a result of I should be informed what to do. But I’ve gotten fairly good at creating a pleasant stability between work and play.
I used to be into make-up since I got here out of the womb, it will appear. I bear in mind sneaking into my mother’s bed room earlier than college and placing on her fragrance—Perry Ellis 360, child. One time certainly one of my brothers made me cry whereas ready for the bus and I had black streaks down my cheeks for the remainder of the day. Not a straightforward factor to clarify to a bunch of first graders. My mother has all the time been actually into make-up too, which might be what impressed me. When she utilized her lipstick within the automotive, I needed to have it too. I’m fortunate to have a mother that was chill about her six-year-old strolling across the grocery retailer in purple lipstick.
Makeup and wonder are such private issues. Everyone ought to have the ability to have enjoyable and experiment with it, or forgo a magnificence routine altogether if it’s not your factor. I’ve extra enjoyable with skincare than the rest, which can be an issue as a result of I’ve simply aggravated pores and skin. Everything breaks me out, so the best routine is all the time the most effective for me—however dammit I’ll die attempting to realize that 10 step routine! I like to change up my look lots and with that comes new make-up appears to be like or colours that I gravitate in the direction of for awhile. Right now, I’m tremendous into dewy, shiny, impartial make-up. Nothing too heavy or dramatic, however subsequent week I could possibly be again on my Kim Ok bullshit.
I’m so lazy relating to eradicating make-up that I’ve even skipped the make-up JUST as a result of I knew I wouldn’t need to take it off later, however since Glossier Milky Jelly got here into my life that modified. I swear by these items. I therapeutic massage it onto my pores and skin dry and it simply melts the make-up away so that you simply look insane. Then I wish to take away it with a humid heat washcloth. A tip I like to share with individuals is I preserve a bunch of unpolluted white washcloths from Target rolled up all fancy-like in my toilet. It appears like a spa, it’s extra nice to make use of than a make-up wipe, and far more thorough. After Milky Jelly, I comply with up with a gel cleanser—presently it is Fresh’s Soy Cleanser. After cleaning I’ll apply whichever serum I’m attempting out in the intervening time. I haven’t discovered my holy grail but. I’m nonetheless courting round. Currently it’s Pestle & Mortar’s Hyaluronic Acid Serum. It’s tremendous light-weight and hydrating and I’ve been having fun with it lots. Who is aware of, this could possibly be ‘the one.’ If my pores and skin is feeling pissed off at me I’ll normally throw some Epicuren Aloe Calming Gel on it to get it to close the hell up. I all the time was once oily, however LA has taken me for all the pieces I’ve bought. It’s so dry right here that my pores and skin consistently feels stretched tightly towards my cranium—should you wanted a visible. One of the one moisturizers I’ve discovered that hydrates my pores and skin comfortably and doesn’t break me out is my Embryolisse Lait Creme Concentre. I’ve just a few others I really like and use, however that’s my experience or die. I’ve most likely gone by way of about 40 of them. I really like an excellent face masks and I like to do a number of masks in a single sitting. Currently my masks routine is Drunk Elephant’s Babyfacial as a result of it does all the pieces wanting burn your face off, and I really like that. Because it’s a cream-based product it doesn’t strip my pores and skin of moisture both. I comply with it up with Antipodes Aura Manuka Honey mask that I picked up at a boutique in London. It cleans your pores and helps heal blemishes sooner, however it’s not your common clearing masks—it’s cream primarily based too. I hate washing these clay masks off, I don’t care how effectively they work. The closing masks I take advantage of is the Skin Laundry Hydrating Sheet Mask. I bought these at Liberty’s in London. After the lengthy flight from LA my pores and skin was so dry and these items whipped me again into form. They don’t have any perfume in them which is uncommon for a sheet masks. My pores and skin doesn’t all the time do effectively with perfume. I’d say I do that entire routine about as soon as every week. It’s so enjoyable and stress-free to simply disappear for awhile and let everybody assume you’re useless.
I haven’t been into basis in a very long time. In reality, I’ve gotten rid of all of my foundations. Maybe I’ll be into them once more sometime, however proper now I can’t think about placing something thicker than a BB cream on my face. I all the time put on the Chantecaille Just Skin Tinted Moisturizer. It’s method overpriced, however I’m an fool so I purchase it anyway. Then I really like Glossier Stretch Concealer. I take advantage of it beneath eyes and on blemishes. Sometimes I even put on this as a basis. On my brows I take advantage of Boy Brow in Brown. I don’t fill them in since I began seeing Helena Tamargo. She threads and tints my brows they usually’ve by no means regarded higher. I really like utilizing Glossier Cloud Paints. My favourite shade for the cheek proper now’s Puff, it’s such a reasonably pastel pink it makes you appear like a bit doll—however like, in a sizzling method. Dusk is just too darkish for my face, however I adore it on my eyes. It actually brings out the blue and it’s really easy to swipe on should you’re in a rush. For mascara typically I experiment with drugstore, however I all the time return to my Chanel Le Volume. Another ridiculously priced merchandise, however nothing makes my lashes look nearly as good at this and admittedly you may’t put a value on that. Glossier’s Balm Dotcom is my favourite product ever. Particularly the Rose taste. I apply a thick layer at night time and once I get up my lips are plump and clean. YSL Tatouage matte stain in #23 is my excellent nude.
I’m actually lazy relating to my hair. I hate the routine of doing hair, however I really like my hair to look good so I really like merchandise that require me to do subsequent to nothing. I’ve this shampoo by IGK that provides your hair wonderful texture as a result of it has clay in it or one thing. Once my hair is dry I really like Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray. I prevented shopping for this for thus lengthy due to the worth—I figured there’s no method it’s that good—however it’s.”
