00:05Today we're gonna be trying baby powder as an alternative beauty hack. We can use it as a dry
00:09shampoo, an eyelash volumizer, something to like prime your skin, I don't know what that means,
00:16and to keep your lipstick on your lips longer. I don't have a whole lot of experience with baby
00:21powder. I don't have a lot of babies in my life, but I have a feeling it could it could
00:25be pretty
00:25good as a dry shampoo. So I love using dry shampoo usually about once or twice a week so I'm
00:32really
00:32excited to see how this is gonna work for me. Just nervous about not knowing how it's gonna react to
00:38my skin and to my hair and to my eyelashes. I did not know baby powder could do any of
00:43these things,
00:44I kind of thought it was exclusively for within diapers and I don't even know what it does there.
00:48Alright guys, so I'm super excited to take this baby powder home and try the four different ways
00:53that it can be used. Follow me for the next three days to see what happens. Good morning. So today
00:59is day one of the baby powder challenge. Knowing that my skin's a little bit drier, I'm gonna use
01:05it in my own way and see how it works. Here we go. I'm gonna start putting it into my
01:10hair. I'm not
01:11really sure how you're supposed to do this without a spray bottle so hopefully I don't have gray hair.
01:19I think I just blot it. I don't know. We'll see how it works. So I'm gonna check back in
01:32with you guys
01:33in a few hours and let you know how everything's holding up. So I just ran out to get a
01:38coffee from
01:39work. It's about 1 30. The baby powder is doing a great job. I honestly don't even think I would
01:45ever go back to dry shampoo at this point. It's really light. Overall, pretty happy for the day.
01:51This is working because usually my coffee cups got big red stains everywhere. Today it's like,
01:57oh my god, can you even still on my lips? It's like 2 o'clock. I haven't had to refresh
02:02so this
02:03is a hack I might keep in my life. Hey guys, so I am finally home from day one of
02:08the baby powder
02:09challenge. For the most part throughout the entire day, I mainly got compliments. People said that my
02:15skin looked really smooth, it looked really poreless, and that it looked like porcelain.
02:21Good morning. So today is day two of the baby powder challenge. I think it'd be kind of cool to
02:27do half my
02:27face with baby powder and half my face without and then really get a good sense of what side's getting
02:34more oily, what sides look more matte. So let's just let's just try that today. Why not? I'm camping,
02:42so it's quite perfect day to try the don't wash your hair dry shampoo thing. So I'm just gonna shake
02:48it around a bit and hope that the wasps and bees and everything else in nature doesn't attack me.
02:55Just gonna put a little on my brush.
02:59Oh, this is weird.
03:02Oh, it actually feels really nice. It's nice and smooth. So I think it's looking pretty good.
03:07It's different than what I normally do. So this is the side that I used the baby powder and this
03:12is
03:13the side that I didn't and I don't see that big of a difference.
03:20The baby powder has absorbed a lot of the oil. Usually my skin gets really oily during the day
03:25and I'm not finding that at all. So I would say that's a pro. But Zena, is my hair greasy?
03:32No, not at all. It's perfectly fine. So I'm just gonna put a little bit of baby powder on the
03:37q-tip
03:39and then kind of get it on my lashes. Overall that worked pretty nicely.
03:45Now I'm gonna be using baby powder as a base for my lipstick. Last night I went to a rollerblading
03:52birthday party and definitely it worked up a little bit of a sweat so I can see a little bit
03:57more grease
03:57in my roots than normal. Since I have really dark hair, I don't want to just directly put this on
04:04because I think it's just gonna make my hair look white or gray. So I think I'm just gonna like
04:08put a little bit on my hands, rub it together and then just kind of work it in until I
04:17feel like
04:18as much oil as I can get is dried up. So it's day three of the Try This Challenge and
04:26today I did the
04:26baby powder on the eyelashes to make them look more voluminous. And although we're not quite midday,
04:31I do have to say that my eyes are itching a lot. I keep having to rub them and when
04:36I do I feel the
04:37gunk on my fingers of like the baby powder having mixed with like natural eye liquid and things like
04:42that. So it's quite uncomfortable. So it's lunchtime and as you can see my lips are already pretty bare
04:49actually. The baby powder didn't really make my lipstick long lasting. I wouldn't say that it
04:57would stay on if you were eating or drinking or anything like that. Okay, so I've had the baby
05:02powder in for a little bit and I think I'm pulling off some clean-ish looking hair. Definitely doesn't
05:11look as fresh as it should. Maybe this hack would work better right when you're beginning to see a little
05:16bit of grease build up. You should use a little bit instead of waiting for a lot to build up
05:21and
05:21then using a lot because I feel like it's drying my scalp out a little bit too much. All right
05:27guys,
05:27so that is the end of the baby powder challenge for me, but that's not going to be the last
05:31time
05:31I ever try baby powder again. Honestly, I really really learned a lot and there's a couple of the
05:38hacks that I'm definitely going to try again. So I've officially completed the Try This Challenge
05:43using baby powder and I would say that I'm so happy that I did because now I use it basically
05:50as my only dry shampoo. I wouldn't really go back. I think it worked so well. I will most definitely
05:57be incorporating baby powder onto my lips after applying lipstick to ensure that it lasts longer
06:03throughout the day. So I really hope that you guys learned something along the way and will feel
06:09inspired to go grab a bottle of baby powder yourself. Thanks so much for following along
06:13and I will see you guys next time. Bye!
