In short
The Luxe Gem podcast episode covers pop-culture and celebrity news, plus fashion/beauty and several entertainment predictions. They debate Alex Zorow’s new skincare launch (after her Accutane/acne struggles), arguing it may be better suited to mild acne than severe cases, and compare it to “hit” celebrity brands like Skims, Fenty Beauty, and Rare Beauty. They discuss Ariana Grande’s “hotline” marketing hinting at an eighth album, Taylor Swift’s “Easter egg culture,” and Kris Jenner’s viral Chinese “manifestation” icon status. They also react to Love Island All Stars dating/drama: Sami and Kieran split, Sami allegedly dating Tariq (Morocco trip, flowers), and claims from Olivia Atwood’s podcast.

Automatic transcript. May contain errors.0:00On today's podcast, we're going to be talking about all of our Coachella predictions. I reckon it's going to be, for sure, Scissor, Thames and Wizkid. And like Daniel Caesar as well. Don Toliver. Thames and Wizkid for, what's the song they have? We don't need no other body. Called like a one less lonely girl moment. Bring a girl up on stage. Bring up Karen Jack. Like, oh my god, yeah. And the new iconic cast of Alex Cooper's new Winter Game Show. With the cast, guys, we've got Anna Delvey in her ankle monitor. Sorry, I thought Anna Delvey was still in prison. Huda from Love Island, USA. That woman is crazy.
0:32And Ekansu. Oh, I love you. This is chaos in a cast. It's going to be a fun episode, so stick around. Welcome back to the Luxe Gem podcast. I'm Poppy and I'm joined by Angelina and India. Hello. And we've got a lot to talk about today. We have. But we're going to start with our outfit. So India, take it away. What are you wearing? I'm wearing a really cool jacket from M &S. It's just like really like perfect for spring and obviously the funnel neck. I love it. I've got a like t-shirt underneath. It's a really good basic from a brand called An Action A Day. I've just discovered them. They're really, really cool.
1:02Okay, good. Just basics, really cool trousers and shorts. And then my jeans are Tommy Hilfiger, their barrel leg. And then my shoes are New Balance. What are you wearing, Angelina? Right, I've got this really fun co-ord on from ASOS Design. It's this cool neutrally beige color. Jeans from it are barrel leg. And, of course, love a funnel neck in this office. Yeah, we do. And, again, of course, twin. Let's go. earrings are from Bershka and then the shoes are lovely new balances amazing Poppy what are you wearing? what am I wearing? I'm wearing this new shirt from Massimo Zucy which I really love really nice for this kind of temperature yeah it's so pretty and then my barrel leg jeans are from Zara so comfortable
1:46okay so we need to get onto the hot list there is so much to discuss at the moment first thing first Real Actives have you seen it? oh my gosh yeah Alex Zorow Alex Zorow's new skincare brand and she created this whole what the fuck is Alex doing concept. Oh, the puzzle piece thing. On the billboard. Okay, cool. So no one knew what she was getting up to and there was lots of speculation about what it was going to be and it's a skincare line. Obviously, she's spoken about her struggles with Accutane and acne and really bad skin. So she's brought our skincare line and what do we think about it? I've heard a lot of mixed reviews about this launch.
2:20So obviously on one side, her diehard fans are super pro Alex. like yeah this is an amazing endeavor like oh my god skincare and that's what she's talked about loads in her career or in her influencer career but then I've also heard the other side and they're kind of like skincare is like probably the last route she should go down considering she's had struggles with her skin so much and they were expecting more of like a hangover like supplement or like an electrolyte which I think would have been cooler and a lot more on brand for her not saying that like I'm not discrediting her skincare journey but I think I would have been much more involved or a lot more excited about an electrolyte like post hangover like situation exactly so much more on brand for Alex but I mean I don't really care that much I'm not going to use a skincare product so yeah I think I kind of agree with you that because especially her talking about she's been to so many doctors and like being on Accutane and stuff like that so is her skincare line going to help people who have the same issues if she was herself like years ago yeah would she use her skincare line herself yeah but i think that's the thing with a lot of celebrity brands like are they really using that yeah yeah i also think she's come out and said that she spoke closely with her dermatologist to do it but i'm like ultimately a lot of people said the products that you're going to need if you struggle with that bad of an acne is not a celebrity brand yeah it would be more expensive better ingredients prescription yeah and so it's difficult to understand like how she can really back the product when is she really using it yeah whereas i feel like with road like with the glazing milk and haley b but she's not said this is going to transform your skin it's like this is a really nice moisturizer and a really nice glazing milk but she's not gone in with this will change your skin we'll just have to wait i guess for the reviews because i haven't seen anything i do want to try it i want to try it just to see what it's about but i feel like at the end of the day her product probably isn't aimed at people with like severe acne i don't think so like it's probably for people with less like serious yeah quite care issues which is a shame but also i guess it's like more attainable for like your average person because your average person doesn't have like serious acne yeah so probably that's probably what it's aimed at she missed something they're not going for something that's a bit more her vibe aka hangover girl yeah so i would have loved that what celebrity brands do you think did hit the mark what nailed it for their brand skims yeah kim kardashian with skims like i know kim has tried a lot like she's been busy i don't even know where that is i don't know what it is really i never tried it i think i saw it for like six months and i don't know it just disappeared but skims really hit the mark because actually i was telling my dad this the other day we were talking about lewis hamilton and kim kardashian he has like a really anti-lewis and kim agenda because he loves lewis so much he's like kim is gonna distract him like he needs to win the championship blah blah blah whatever so I was like oh but with everything else that she's doing she's quite focused and quite like she knows what she's doing aka skims this brand that I guess her whole life or her whole influencer career she's been marketed as like a tight fitted yeah like body con girl and skims does exactly that like no matter what size you are the size range is insane it will suck you in and make you look amazing like I think she's really hit the nail on that head as well um who else 818 tequila yeah yes i was saying did you guys know that 818 tequila obviously it's a tequila brand that was um created by kendall jenner um in its like marketing slash launching days which is maybe a couple years ago she entered a competition for tequila basically and she won but she didn't want people to know that 818 was her brand because she knew that it would be people would be a bit biased knowing that it was kendall jenner's brand so she entered the competition anonymously and ended up winning so then at the end she came out and was like oh actually 818 is my brand and everyone was like whoa so that kind of increased the credibility 100 % I think that's good I mean I think for me other celebrity brands are like obviously Fenty Beauty these were amazing oh my god how did I think of Fenty Beauty in the makeup game the celebs makeup game is so good but Rihanna coming out with that I think that fit her 100 % especially some of the early products like the colours and like do you remember the matchsticks but like the unicorn one it was like sparkly purpley blue like what is that no like the stick I just remember the sticks that they had that's cool and there was like a really sparkly one and I remember what they used to always do is like when they were teasing a new product for a bit they would have it like spotted on Rihanna and stuff like that and I think that just really fit her so well and I will still like die hard Fenty Beauty yeah same with me Rare Beauty oh you love Rare Beauty and I'm like yeah obviously I was first intrigued to try it because of Selena Gomez but I actually like the products that I'm repurchasing them constantly I like the message behind it like all the products are called like Hope or like Lovely or something like they're all like really inspirational and I just really like the message behind it like yes she used her name but she also used that she's gone through like an illness and you know Rare Beauty is beautiful as well not just basic not just basic not just basic I'd say yeah that's a pretty good one Rare love that okay guys I don't know if you've heard but Ariana Grande might be releasing a new album really?
7:31I know yeah so before the tour basically it's speculation because she has this like subscription hotline thing where you can message and you get a response back from her from her or like her platform but no way it's like it's like how you subscribe to like free people and you get messages when like things come back and stop with you with you Ariana Grande's version and I think one of the automatic responses were like a call this hotline if you want a happy message or you need some help or something like that and it was a pre-recorded Ariana Grande message when you dial the number Ariana says we're counting down the eights oop I meant their days to her tour oh the eights yeah eighth studio album and it's like the intentional mistake the eights oops I meant the days like I think she's gonna have a new album I think so because also like that's pre-recorded so like they definitely intentionally put yeah that was not a mistake I just love the marketing around it though like People are becoming so smart in how they're releasing music or announcing things, like big things going on in their life.
8:34Who else? I'm not going to lie. I think Taylor Swift kind of kicked off with her Easter egg culture. Oh, she always does that. What is that? Like in her videos, she's always teasing things. So she will tease things, I'm not even joking, years in advance. What? Years in advance. But then Swifties are like a bit crazy. Yeah, but she started doing it like once people started being like, I've noticed this, I've noticed that. she would start dropping things like well and above. Really? And I think a lot of celebs have started the teaser. Yeah. Easter egg culture. Like she'll drop an Easter egg about her next album in like the one that's just dropped.
9:06Yeah, like the Aeros tour. She's ahead. Oh my gosh, the Aeros tour. But how is she so ahead? She's planned it. She's taped all these albums. They're already ready to go. They're just lined up. Like for example, when she was doing all of the like re-releases, people were trying to speculate like which Taylor's version was next. And then during the Aeros tour, she kept like, there was like flashes on screens. people said or like based on what the surprise song was people were thinking i remember one of my friends that's so smart i know it's so clever also have you seen chris jenner has become an icon in chinese social media i really love it so she has become like almost like a not a religious figure but you might as well to me chris jenner is religious people have got her as their background as their desktop background she's being printed out of like her with like a halo around her manifesting and it's manifesting like good luck and wealth and prosperity I mean you know what who else does better than Kris Jenner to manifest wealth and prosperity like she's taken a family do they know like is it like a joke or do people actually believe that she's going to bring like good life and prosperity maybe I make her my background for 2026 should we see what happens yeah maybe it's like manifestation like we'll just become Kris Jenner because she is honestly like it baffles me to this day she's so funny She has all of the brands of like all of the children in her bio.
10:22That's true. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And it's so cool because I honestly go in and I have this girl and I'm like, do you remember like Arthur George, Rob's sock company? Oh my gosh. When did Rob have a sock company? Years ago. India. Oh my gosh. It was iconic. But there's so many that they all have that you even forget about. She's mummager. She's mummager. That's why she brings you good luck. She got all of those kids to like where they are now. That's crazy. Who would be the British version of that? Honestly, I don't even know. Who is your, who are you putting on your back screen for prosperity, wealth and good luck?
10:49You know what? Idris Elba. Yeah, I like that. Valid. British person would be Idris Elba. So true. He's like so unproblematic, successful, sexy, guilty. No, I saw him once and I freaked out. You saw him once? On my birthday. On your birthday? On your 18th birthday. Oh, that's iconic. I went to a restaurant in London, like sketch, for my 18th birthday. And it was his daughter's birthday and they were sat at the table next to us. My mum tells the story like to every person we meet. and she has a photo where she like took a photo of my auntie and he's in the background and she circled it and that just circulated in WhatsApp for months.
11:21I'm trying to think who mine would be. David Tennant. Really? David Tennant is great. I did not expect that from you. I used to really be obsessed with Doctor Who when I was younger. And it just in my mind, I'm like, you know what? Yeah, good luck and prosperity. Oh my God, so you were down bad. I don't know what was up for that. That's crazy. We were in a phase. I feel like my one for this year would be Maura Higgins. Oh, yeah. Like, how has she just gone from zero to 100? She's gone from Love Island to, like, I feel like she's going to be at the Met Gala in five minutes. Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised to be at the Met Gala.
11:52I'd be like, Met Gala this year. Who knows? Traitors USA was where she nailed it, I think. That's really challenging. I didn't watch her, but I've seen all the promo. But, like, the American public then got introduced to her. Yeah. And then her and Rob, of course. So then people, like, love their friendship and stuff like that. And I feel like she's doing well in the fashion space. Like, she's really going out there when she's ever at an event. Yeah. Her outfits are always, like, top top. I'd always say she's like top 10 celebs or influencers at the event. Yeah, 100%. Fashion Awards. Fashion Awards outfit was amazing.
12:21Oh my God. So Maura Higgins, she's for me. I love Maura. But on Love Island, Sami, Tyreek, and Kieran. Okay, this is like killing me because I'm not like a massive Love Island watcher, but I watched season 10. Like that was the first scene that I properly followed. Who was in that? Tyreek. Tyreek. And I just remember being like, this man is a mess. And was he with an Ella Thompson? And she was like, sit down. Yeah, that was my mentality that year. But him, he's a menace. So he's been like, with Love Island All Stars, right? He's been on stream and stuff and like recapping with Islanders and stuff.
12:52So everybody's like, oh, okay, cool. And then Sami and Kieran, they won. Split three weeks later. And where has Sami been spotted? Holiday in Morocco with Tariq. So they're apparently officially dating. And allegedly, Tariq sent flowers to Sami like when she came out of the show or something. so when she was still with Kieran yeah I think apparently that's what happened Menace is actually the only word to describe but I feel like they're so different so it kind of like annoys me because obviously when I was watching it I was really into this scene of all stars I really liked Sammy and Kieran and I'm like well it was just all fake I know it is fake but you do fall into the trap when you're watching it of like they're really cute and now I'm like well now Millian's actually a one because you've just like taken the money and ran oh it's a bit peep three weeks and then already the Instagram's on what were you saying about the podcast Olivia Atwood's podcast.
13:38Oh my gosh, yeah. So Olivia Atwood got Joe Bags on her podcast. I love him. And what she did was, is because Joe Bags' guest was Kieran and Olivia had Sammy on hers. So she got him on to literally discuss. Obviously him as well. But to compare notes about what they said to each other. Oh my gosh. And then she revealed that she had done a line with River Island and took loads of the Love Islands out to New York. And that Sammy dumped Kieran over the phone there because all the other girls were single. Oh my gosh. Including Olivia. and apparently like Olivia makes a joke like she sniffed the like single New York air and just like got rid of it to be honest what I will the only thing I will give Sammy is that I'm glad that she did it sooner than later so I would have hated for her to drag it on and then just be like actually I never really liked you but my question is like when did they book the Morocco tickets?
14:23yes yes after three weeks they booked it do you think the tickets were booked from the moment she broke up she's like right Morocco I'm like the feeling that would have been too quick but also those tickets are expensive exactly so I'm like when did you book the market tickets and like hotels, activities, all that stuff. 100%. I also feel like they've really leaned into like almost like pushing this out as a narrative for the views for the fame because when they knew people started speculating, they were dropping Easter egg hunts. They were properly calling paps. I was just like, oh, I was like, oh, poor little Kieran.
14:52This was like, this was already like in the books from the beginning. From the minute they came out, Tyreek knew what he was doing. Him on his stream. My new, current like viral obsession is the Miss Grand Thailand thing. Oh my gosh. This woman has lived in my head right through. She's iconic. Wait, we all have to do the dog. Nobody, nobody like you. I used to love that part of the kid. Nobody, nobody. And her face is so intense. And she's just so like, her face is so glam as well. She's just so like, but she's like. Also, she was in a bikini. Is she actually Miss Thailand? No. So she was Miss Grand Caliseum, which is like a region in Thailand she was representing.
15:29She was just competing in the wider Miss Grand Thailand pageant. She sadly did not win. but she's made a name for herself I know I think I don't even know who won though but I just keep getting the videos of her rehearsing yeah oh really of her rehearsing before the actual thing so there's these videos of her like in the corner of the stage just like oh practicing that dance I guess it's just hilarious to me I love it I love it but at the moment it does show like to go viral like it could be something so niche and small like it's not just the basic things now you need to really break out of the realm I think also because it was so unexpected yeah like literally everyone else around her was doing like a really sexy like white girl nobody nobody but you and then it pans to just like the most intense breakdowns I've ever seen.
16:11And I loved it. It was so good. What other influences have like blown up from something so random? But like Jake Shane originally brought I was going to say. When he did the like. Those videos were hilarious. Yeah or like when Jesus turns the wine to water. Oh yeah. And like it was just so funny and random and now he's interviewing at the Oscars. Talk to a girl. Oh my God. I can't wait for a guy about her. Do you remember her Bitcoin thing? Like she went into a cryptocurrency And a bunch of people bought it And then it crashed So then people got mad at her No way I remember that being a thing And being like But also why would you buy that Like she's loaded now Just off a walk to her But do you think With the Miss Thailand woman Like now how do you keep up the momentum Like is she going to switch off Or is she just going to keep Keep doing one of these I don't know really Because I saw her presenting something In Thailand like on TikTok Oh really But like presenting like some event Like she showed up in events So I wonder if it's going to like Foray into international Yeah I feel like this is where you've Now got to be smart because you could just be famous for that one thing and then just go quiet literally tomorrow.
17:09Exactly. But then how is she going to make money off of this or just become more famous? Or make it into a career. Yeah, like, is she going to then start a dance class for break dancing? She's a professional dancer or something. She has money, right? She has surely. She has to be in some dance training. Oh, it's so funny. She needs Christiana Marmager to go in. We need to devise a plan for her. On the topic of just chaos, Yes. Alex Cooper's Unwell winter production games. Oh my God. I don't even know. First of all, I didn't even know Unwell Network did stuff like that. Like I knew they had podcasts.
17:41Yeah. But then I was just like, reality show? I thought this was a joke. But the cast, guys, we've got Anna Delvey in her ankle monitor. Sorry, I thought Anna Delvey was still in prison. No, she's got an ankle monitor, so she's fine. But Anna Delvey, Huda from Love Island, USA. That woman is crazy. Yeah, she is. Yeah, like what is he doing there? And then Louis from Too Up to Handle Who is dating Huda Or was dating Huda Or something like that And Ekansu I love that too This is chaos in a cast She should be everywhere though So it's meant to be kind of like a game show The way they've marketed it Is like the coldest cast on the internet Like the coldest people on the internet Like crazy people from shows And stuff like that So it kind of makes sense So why is he out there?
18:24Yeah my thing is I don't remember being crazy He was kind of mellow on Love Island Maybe they needed somebody to balance it out Yeah true true But I think he's also like Because it's like Unwell productions like almost just loads of niche characters and he's niche but yeah they just do a bunch of like winter sports it seems like but then they have to do like challenges and all these other things oh it's winter sports yeah because it's like the Unwell winter games I see so they're all like ski outfits and like all these cute things where do we watch it I think you watch it on YouTube if you subscribe to Unwell I think it's on YouTube okay that's interesting I can't wait to see who wins I feel like it could be Eyal yeah he's got underdogging I kind of want it to be Eyal or Ekansu Ekansu I kind of love her though like on anything I think Ekansu could do Amora Higgins if she plays her cards correct do you think?
19:06maybe not as much in the fashion space but she could get big in America yeah just because she's got a big personality I think they'd love her there so we've got Coachella coming up I think it started as this podcast goes live so predictions who's coming out with who okay what are we thinking what guests are we going to see okay so the headliners are Justin Bieber Carol G Sabrina Carpenter yeah Justin Bieber who's he going to bring out rumored to be SZA yeah I think CZA has to come out Snooze like come on that is one of the biggest songs of last year if she doesn't come out I don't know like what or Thames oh we need a bit of Thames but then if Thames comes out then Wizkid's gonna have to come out as well yeah so how many people we got on this stage but to be fair he's headlining Coachella he could literally be out as many people as he wants every single person featured on his album yeah oh god and like Daniel Caesar as well or Don Toliver I reckon it's gonna be for sure ScZA Thames and Wizkid for sure well ScZA for Snooze and then Thames and Wizkid for what's the song they have?
20:03We don't need no other body. Essence. Essence. But that's just there. Oh, is Justin Bieber on that? Well, he did a remix. Oh, shoot. And I think he has to, like Thames is so big, Wizkid is so big. I love Thames too. He's going to bring them out. So that's my prediction. Oh, well, I would love if he did some of his old songs like to bring out... Jaden Smith. Jaden Smith. Jaden Smith. He pulled like a one less lonely girl moment. Bring a girl up on stage. Bring out Kim and Jack. Oh my God, yeah. I'm so jealous of all the people going to see him. Like, I had tickets for his Justice Tour and he got cancelled because he gave up touring.
20:35I want to be there. Okay, other predictions. Okay, we've also got, this is a big one that I'm actually really excited for. Sabrina Carpenter, who's she going to bring out for the arrest? It could be Hudson and Connor from Heated Rivalry. Because they're quite big at the moment. Or who else do you think she'd bring out? Bad Bunny. I don't know why. I just feel like he's doing really good. I just feel like Coachella. Is he too big, though? No, but at the Grimmies, they had like a little moment. So I know that was them arranging Coachella. Rest you mate. Also, Tyreek Withers is hot right now. Yeah, I do love him.
21:04He's just really popping off. So I think they're just looking for someone that's literally at the peak of their career right now. But is young and sexy. Rob Roush, because it's in America. Oh my god, Rob Roush being pulled out for Cabrina. That would be so good. Cabrina? What, Cabrina? Coachella. Cabrina. Yeah. Or the recent, she recently had the house tour music videos. Maybe it's one of the girls. Oh, Madeline Klein and Margaret Colley. It could be them together actually. That would be hard. Or maybe they'll be on stage with her or something like that. Like, who knows? Imagine they came and did a cameo in a house tour.
21:31Pretty girl at the news. Actually, they might. They probably should. They probably would. It just come out, so it works. No, actually, I think that's definitely going to happen. Also, guys, Cat's Eye. Oh, I wonder. The drama. What is going to happen this Coachella? I don't know. Is she going to be back? We've heard that Manon might be back because obviously Coachella was like contracted. Oh, they were contracted with Coachella a while ago. Coachella, I swear, that was announced like ages before. but then also they had Lollapalooza recently. And she wasn't there? No. And was she not there? And that was just before the, and also they've just released a teaser music, like a teaser for their newest music video.
22:05Okay. And she's not in the teaser. What? And she removed Cat's Eye from her Instagram bio. So people are always like, are like, wait a second. Is she going to show up or not? I really hope it's one of those things where it's like, they all pop up and then she like comes. Or it's like boom, boom, boom. And then. I just don't think she's coming back. If she's removed. do you think that the other girls would want to give her the airtime of like big reveal. Yeah, exactly. I would probably be like, have you left? No, literally, that's just not happening. But I still don't understand like the whole thing of like, what?
22:33Like, I feel like they've been very under wraps about it. But I just hope that like, she comes back in the middle of like a song or something like that. So it's not like a crazy mode, but it's like, you know, like a bit like maybe doing Game Boy or like gnarly or something. I really think that's not going to happen. Yeah. I guess we'll find out. We'll find out. Addison Rae, is she going to bring anyone out? Charlie. Ooh, Charlie. Yeah. It could be like a little switcheroo because last year, Charlie brought out Addison Rae. So this year, Addison Rae might bring out Charlie. I love Addison Rae, guys.
22:57Yeah, she's great. Like, so good. Fame is a gun and then I point it down. Look, at first, when I saw she was about to do music, I was a bit like, ooh. Not gonna lie, I don't think her voice is great, but it's the vibe that can happen. It's just the vibe. It's just the vibe. She's literally like, I don't care. And I don't care with her. I love that song. Love that song. So good.
23:16And before we move on to what we're loving. Remember to subscribe. Yes, please. You can keep hearing the latest pop culture and celeb news from all of us. The LGs. The LGs, right. What have we been loving? Creators. I feel like there's been so many good ones for 2026 and loads of new ones that I've been spotting. So who are the creators we're loving at the minute? Okay, I'm really loving this one creator, Nadia Quetta. She has such good hair inspo for braids. It just makes me feel like I should be doing more with my hair. Yeah, oh my God. I just have my hair down all the time. I do that a lot and that's why I'm like, you know what okay so she does this one style she had this one that was like cornrows and they went into like this kind of map and she does this thing where she gets like it just like goes like in it like it looks so intricate and then she also does this thing that i was like you know what i want to try that she kind of makes bubbles with braids if that makes sense so she has like bubble that has like a braid attached to it in the shape of like a bow like the bow so then she can put that over like with a bow oh that's cool so sick and i really want to try it that's a really cool hair accessory yeah so it's just like keep adding on to it and like these cool like butterfly style loops like it just looks so sick that's fun india who have you been loving um she's not new but she's just i've just discovered her literally the other day she's called yuki injo and she just does all her fit checks with her dogs fashion inspo fit check like really cool sounds just like literally standing in one place or like in her mirror but it's always with her dog and the dog is in like a similar-ish or matching outfit and it's a really cute dalmatian she's stunning her outfits are so inspirational so fun so colorful like I really want to aspire to make my wardrobe a bit more colorful and just a bit more fun because I think I've just fallen into like a rut of just like the same old so she's really good inspiration for me and then also this guy called Tanner Leatherstein he's just a creator that talks about luxury bags and like luxury goods but he really dissects every single product and basically tells you what's worth it and what isn't so like he literally You can actually rip apart like a Bottega clutch bag.
25:16Oh. Like with a knife and just be like, okay, the stitching on this is like amazing. Or the stitching on this is terrible. Like this is what you should invest in. Or like you're paying this amount of money for this bag that's actually the same price as like a 250 pound coach bag. So if you're going to pay, like spend money anywhere, go for this over that. Like, and it's just really, really insightful. And I just love watching the videos. He literally rip it apart. And he's like, the quality on this leather is so good. not that I'm on the market for a£4 ,000 bag but it's just so interesting to watch and he's so so knowledgeable so I love him things like that it's amazing because then you know where to spend your money again not that we're necessarily going to jump into that but otherwise you never know what's actually good quality or what you're paying and they're all the same price so you actually just want to know where your money should be going and where it shouldn't so I love him on the same kind of vein a fashion creator that also gives a bit of knowledge is Mia Harani on TikTok and she'll do videos and it's all about it's completely and utterly my style which is why I think I gravitated towards it.
26:11That's good. But it will be like three creators to follow, three small brands to follow, three things I'm loving here. But like it doesn't feel really basic and things I've always seen before. Yeah. And she's like, RH, her videos are really chill. It doesn't feel too overly glossy. Yeah. And all of her recommendations are good. Like, you know when like, it's not like three things and it's like three basic things. It's like things that everyone's heard about. and it's like Zara, H &M and Mango. Like, it's actually really unique pieces. I love that. And some of it's a bit more affordable and some of it's a bit more, you know luxury but every single recommendation she gives is good and i really like her and then for just normal fashion everyday inspo janna capi and then lola rosalie are two girls that again just really effortlessly cool but their outfits some some of it's high street some of it's vintage but the way they pair it like one really like out there item with loads of basics and just make it look really really cool and it feels like accessible and cool not like i would never actually wear that and their just vibe is amazing.
27:08I love them so much. Those are the creatures that I'm doing. And any beauty products? I've started using these MediHeal like blemish pads. So there's like a pack of 100 and it kind of like a little like clippy like tweezer thing and you just use them day and night and they have genuinely cleared a lot of my like acne scars because I used to have really bad like hyperpigmentation. But using that every day for the past like maybe three weeks has like genuinely, I've seen a difference. And I've also started using the Naturium Milky Toner, which is my first Milky Toner ever. Really? I've never used one.
27:44I want to know what are they like, so I've been thinking about it. My skin is, I have quite dry skin, or combination, but recently it's been really dry. But having started using that toner before I use my serum and then I go in with my cream or my moisturizer, that toner honestly just adds that extra bit of hydration that I've needed. It's just so good. It feels lovely. and I just love like the glug glug glug putting it in my hand it's just so nice I love that that's such a good idea what beauty have you been loving Angelina? I've been really loving the Glossier Plush Blushes I discovered them today it's like a cloud I don't know it's like a clay texture is that the one that comes with the sponge applicator thing?
28:20yeah is it the square one? yeah I didn't get it with it but I got like a deep berry shade yes it's so pigmented I have it on today I only put like literally a teeny bit because the first time I used it I've been too much on I accidentally Do you have the same one? I accidentally used a really dense brush. And I just went boom. Because normally I wear cream blushes. But I just use like a normal fluffy blush. And it diffused so beautifully. I love all their products. Their perfumes, their concealer. I've got it. It's got like the Balm.com or something. Yeah, I love Balm.com. And that's really, really natural.
28:50And all of their products smell really good. I have the hot chocolate, Balm.com. Oh my gosh. Why does it smell exactly like an options hot chocolate? The birthday cake one is my favorite. Oh, gorgeous. Oh, so good, so good. Anything you're loving? the thing is I've been loving really random things so one is the new K18 dry shampoo and what it is is you know how normally when you put dry shampoo in you get like that white powdery crust you spray it on and it's wet but it dries into a powder and honestly at first I was a bit sceptical because I was like if my hair's already a bit greasy do I really want to spray something wet in it but it's so natural it doesn't have a colour so it won't come out white and make your hair look really gross and it doesn't provide that flakiness that you sometimes get as well so that is amazing and I've had it now for a while and it's lasted me ages.
29:34Okay, good. So that is such a plus for me. And then another one, this is so random, but Australian gold sun cream. We just went away. Oh, yeah. The wrong sun cream? Honestly, this sun cream, so it's got, it's a bit brownie, so when you put it on, you don't get really like pasty. Yeah. And it smells amazing. Guys, the smell. The smell of the sun cream is amazing. And you can, like it's really blendable. It's really smooth and it's one of the only sun creams, I mean, granted, I didn't use it the day that I burnt. I don't know. But I'm quite pale gal, actually, and I don't burn. It helps me genuinely tan.
30:05But I know there's so many products out there. It's like, put this on and you'll get a nice tan in the sun. No, but this actually does. It protects you as well. This genuinely works. Yeah. So that, for me, is an absolute favourite. I just can't go over the smell. It's literally. It's genuinely awful. It smells like you can taste it. I got my dad onto it. He borrowed it once on holiday, and now he goes to Sephora to buy it himself. He goes to Sephora himself? I love that. I mean, he obviously picks me one up, too. But he used it on holiday, but like, have you got the Australian gold? What? I do Honestly It's unreal That's really good Well I think that is everything guys Thank you so much For joining me today Thank you So as a final reminder Everybody subscribe Please do To our channel So we can keep yapping for you In the future Yay Bye Bye
