00:00And a little bit goes a long way with this stuff.
00:02Is it picking up like any of the like ASMR?
00:07Hey, I'm Karina and I'm a beauty and wellness writer at Refinery29
00:11and today I'm going to reveal what's in my beauty drawers.
00:18I got my start in the beauty industry by interning when I was in college.
00:22I was writing for a website at the time in the beauty editor there.
00:28I ended up becoming my mentor and taught me everything I know about working in this industry.
00:33I keep my beauty drawers almost too organized.
00:36I'm a Virgo so I love to have everything neat and tidy in its place.
00:40I think my beauty drawers are going to reveal.
00:43I just generally love playing with beauty products and testing things out.
00:48Alright, let's take a look at my beauty drawers.
00:50I'm going to start out with a new product that I have.
00:54It's the Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Pore Tight Toner.
00:57I really love this stuff because it's super gentle and hydrating and help keep my skin clear.
01:04Smells like watermelons.
01:06It's really good.
01:08Next up, I love Aesop Skincare.
01:12I think they're great.
01:13One product I really love is the Into Minds Facial Cleanser.
01:17It smells like herbs.
01:20It's got witch hazel in it, which is great.
01:22I have acne-prone skin.
01:23It keeps things feeling really clean and fresh.
01:26Love it in the morning.
01:28Let's see what else.
01:29My beauty drawers are organized between skincare and a little bit of hair, plus makeup.
01:34My sister likes to call it a dentist car because it reminds her of what they have in dental offices.
01:39Plus, on top, the products that I use pretty much every day.
01:42Moving on to a makeup product I will probably repurchase forever.
01:47It's this Maybelline Master Precise Gel Eyeliner Pencil.
01:53As you can see, it's super thin.
01:56It's like $7 or $8, I think, so it's super affordable.
01:59It gives you, like, the thinnest line ever, which I love using on my waterline.
02:06Who doesn't love a drugstore buy, right?
02:08This is a new product.
02:10I haven't opened it yet, but it is the Elta MD UV Clear Tinted Sunscreen.
02:16One item that I always recommend people have in their beauty drawers at home is definitely sunscreen.
02:22I love this one because it has a tint, so I plan on using it and place a foundation.
02:28It looks like this.
02:28It kind of doesn't even look like sunscreen, which I think is so cool.
02:32I think that's blended.
02:35Another summer beauty product that I'm really into is the new Tower 28 Bronzino Cream Bronzer.
02:43I've only been using this for a little bit since it came out, but it's got the coolest, like, shimmery
02:49bronze texture.
02:50And it literally just looks like you came back from the beach.
02:53It's just all-around super cool product.
02:55This next drawer has more moisturizers, plus some face oils, which I love.
03:00Another product that I cannot get enough of is the Then I Met You Calming Tide Gel Cream.
03:06Look at this packaging.
03:08It's so cute.
03:09It looks like a little, like, egg.
03:11It kind of matches my nails, actually.
03:13Awesome for oily skin, like mine, and it contains peptides, ceramides, really hydrating, and, yeah, calming.
03:22Just true to the name.
03:24This one literally feels like water.
03:27Here's a classic.
03:28Super Goof Unseen.
03:29I love this sunscreen again.
03:32This one is totally invisible, so it doesn't leave, like, a white cast or anything.
03:37I'm tan, so that's super important to me.
03:40And it is great under makeup as well.
03:42My least used item in my beauty drawers probably has to be any sort of bright lipstick.
03:50I've just always been more of a skin, eye makeup, brow person, so anything bright isn't super my style, but
04:00I do love it on other people.
04:01This is where things get a little crazy.
04:04This drawer is a mix of minis, which I loved for traveling back when I was, like, going on trips
04:10and stuff.
04:11I also have some things like makeup wipes and sheet masks.
04:14I love these.
04:15Joanna Vargas.
04:16This one's the Dawn face mask.
04:18It's super hydrating.
04:20Literally feels like a spa day in my apartment.
04:23Another product I love is the Lula Hendrickson Cold Plunge Pore Mask, which has this awesome blue color, which is
04:30so fun for a selfie moment.
04:33But it's also really cooling on the skin, which makes it so nice if it's getting warm out.
04:38It's just a really, like, great product for this time of year.
04:42I don't know about you guys, but I've been masking so much now that I've been staying home more often.
04:46And another one that I love is the Summer Fridays R&R Mask.
04:50It has rose petals in it, which smell amazing on your skin, and it leaves me looking so bright and
04:56dewy, and the packaging is so nice as well.
05:00This Vetiver 46 by Lilavo is one of the nicest things that I own.
05:07They even print your name on it.
05:09I love this fragrance in particular because it's super, like, fresh, almost like an herb kind of scent.
05:16If I'm spending all my time at home and I'm not seeing anyone, I still love to wear a bit
05:21of perfume just to give me that little extra, like, pep in my stuff.
05:26Super nice.
05:27Wow, my room smells so nice now.
05:30Oh, this is something I use pretty much every single day.
05:34It's my Tweezerman eyelash curler.
05:37They make different shapes for different eyes, so if you have more almond-shaped eyes, they make ones for that
05:43as well.
05:43But it really helps open my eyes up even if I'm not wearing any mascara.
05:47Another product that I love is this Kosas Tinted Base Oil.
05:54It is super lightweight but really hydrating if I just want a little bit of coverage.
05:59My biggest beauty flex item.
06:01A wall of nail polish that I was gifted.
06:05Let's do a hair product.
06:06This I feel like everybody talks about, but it is a classic for a reason.
06:11It's the Orbe Dry Texturizing Spray.
06:14Whenever I curl my hair, just to add a little bit of volume, just, like, a little bit of messiness.
06:20Another product that I use all the time is the Zit Sticka Little Acne Patches.
06:26So, I'm almost out, so I'm going to have to get a new box.
06:29You open it up and it's a, like, little mini towelette so that you can clean your breakout.
06:34And then this little guy sticks on and overnight will basically draw out all the gross stuff.
06:43Bye-bye, Zits.
06:44Here's another one, actually, that I've been using a lot.
06:47It's the Tower 28 Lip Gloss.
06:49Actually, I don't know what shape this is.
06:50It's Magic, which is such a cute name.
06:52I've been really into glosses lately.
06:54This one has this, like, gorgeous, like, gold shimmer.
06:59I don't know.
06:59It's, like, literally magic.
07:01This is another iconic product, Tarte Shape Tape Concealer.
07:06I love that it's got this, like, big doe foot applicator, which is so fun to use.
07:12It literally will cover up anything that I've got going on.
07:15If I have a breakout that I want to conceal, this does the trick every time.
07:19One more product that I love.
07:24Benefit Roller Liner.
07:25I am a huge fan of the Roller Lash Mascara, and they came out with a liquid eyeliner that is,
07:31like, so sharp, so precise.
07:35It's so perfect for getting that really sharp cat eye.
07:39All right, time to put everything back in its place.
07:42It's kind of like I'm putting them to bed.
07:44Before, I was organizing all my products with bins, which kind of got messy and crazy after a while.
07:51I also live in Brooklyn, so I like that it didn't take up a ton of space.
07:55I'm able to easily find everything, sort through stuff, and when I get new products, just easily file them away.
08:03This is how I keep track of all my things.
