  • God, I just, I don't know what to do from here.

  • I think a toddler with plastic scissors could probably give me a better haircut than I gave myself Hello!

  • In two days, I'll be going to the Australian fashion week.

  • This is me the last time I went to Fashion Week.

  • This is probably eight years ago, This is me now, it's been a long and hard Panini for me.

  • 2022 is the year of transformation.

  • I'm also interested in exploring designer fashion as well because in the past I've talked a lot about fast fashion and I have lightly dappled in the world of paying $800 for a skirt.

  • But up until now I've never really taken the fashion industry that seriously.

  • Well, all of that is about to change with my very first guest attendance at Australian fashion Week.

  • I've been invited by some Australian designers to attend their fashion shows and I want to make sure that I look as fashionable as I possibly can.

  • And there's something about my sideshow bob hair that's not really screaming.

  • Getty images, please take a photo of me.

  • So, over the next few days I will be transforming myself from this to hopefully something like this.

  • I went to a work function for my husband.

  • People were like, well you look like a supermodel, that's very kind of you Now, the two main things about my look that day.

  • One, the freshly bleached platinum blonde hair that was slicked back, that's the main part.

  • It's got to be slicked back slicking the hair back.

  • Takes it from that to editorial or Draco malfoy, depending how you look at it.

  • And The final thing, which is arguably the most important thing was my Skincare routine.

  • At the time when I took that picture, I was in the middle of filming a video about trying out a $800 luxury skincare routine.

  • It's the best my skin has ever looked and ever will look in my entire life.

  • And since I stopped that routine, I've tried two different routines since then and my skin has gone progressively downhill.

  • I still have the products that I used during that routine and I do only have a couple of days left until fashion week, but I'm going to start using them again morning and night and I'm also going to introduce a couple of new products to.

  • All right now, it's at this point that I need to say the biggest thank you too.

  • Honey for sponsoring today's video.

  • Thanks to Honey.

  • I was able to splurge on some new luxury skincare products to help me with my glow up.

  • And with that, let's test out this new skincare.

  • It's pretty risky of me to be adding in new skincare that I've never used before a couple of days out from an event because there is always the chance that my skin is going to not react but take a little while to get used to the product.

  • I could possibly end up with some blemishes but I'm hoping that won't happen because this is the brand quarterly.

  • Now I bought this because tarty recommended this brand and also because when I went on the Sephora website and I sorted skincare by price highest to lowest.

  • This was the most expensive thing that came up.

  • I know I know you do not need the most expensive skincare products to get good looking skin, but it worked for me last time.

  • And because of the great success that I had, look, this was my before and after after the luxury skincare video because of the great success, I was like, look, if I'm gonna get my skin looking supermodel ready in a couple of days, I probably need the $200 moisturizer and the $200 serum.

  • You'd better.

  • I wish I had thought to film this last night.

  • I'm so annoyed that I didn't because yesterday my skin looked completely different to how it looks today when I went to bed last night at two am I was lying in bed thinking about how I was going to start my skincare routine when I woke up and then I was playing on my phone for another hour and then three a.m. Came and I was like I could have just got out of bed and go on and put on some moisturizer or something.

  • Why do I have to start tomorrow?

  • Why not start now?

  • She's gonna play on my phone for another hour.

  • Then it was four am and I was like no, okay, I'm gonna go put some skin care on.

  • So recommenced my old routine, I added in a couple of products from other skincare routines that I've been liking recently.

  • And the first thing I did was used by by blemish by some, by me, this brightened my face three shades, I had forgotten how good this is.

  • My skin was looking very, very dull since I stopped using this.

  • So that was great.

  • That was the first thing that I did.

  • The second thing that I did touch to the rice wash.

  • Absolutely magnificent product.

  • Then I chucked on glow recipe, Plump plump hyaluronic acid good genes by sunday Riley.

  • A touch revitalizing eye cream and the lunar sleeping night oil by sunday Riley and can I just tell you I have woken up but I have been reborn, my skin, my skin is so much tighter right now that in just one single session really really, really helped.

  • So I'm going to add in the quarterly products and I'm also going to add in vitamin C from sunday Riley and a brightening and de puffing eye contour cream.

  • I have no doubt that my skin is definitely gonna get better over the next few days.

  • So take one last look at it.

  • This is what I look like right now.

  • And now I'm gonna commence my morning routine.

  • Alright, so I'm gonna try the Connolly stuff.

  • The products I got are called the eye cream, the cream, the precious oil and the serum.

  • Yes, they really do just call their products the cream.

  • Hello.

  • I would like to purchase the cream please.

  • Which one?

  • The one?

  • So let's go with the vitamin C.

  • Okay, it's white, the one that I've been using up until now.

  • Actually every vitamin C I've used up until now has been a clear liquid.

  • So this is oh, a nice texture.

  • Oh wow, goodness.

  • It's very soothing.

  • Oh it stinks.

  • Oh God, it smells like pine are clean.

  • Alright.

  • I'm going to leave that to soak in because as I learned in my last skin care video, the vitamin C was far more effective when I gave it like half an hour to soak in.

  • I'm not saying you always have to do that, but the days that I put it on, left it for five minutes and then went over the top versus the day that I put it on the left it for 30 minutes.

  • And then came back and carried on with the routine, enormous difference in the reduction of my fine lines.

  • So I'm going to let this do its job.

  • Gonna go have two glasses of water with some lemon because that's what data Monty's taught me in my data Monty's morning routine video.

  • Mhm.

  • Alright, so it's been 20 minutes and I'm shocked.

  • Look at this, look, I wonder if you'll be able to see my forehead.

  • I Do.

  • You need reminding of what I looked like 20 minutes ago.

  • It's literally lifted.

  • Oh my gosh.

  • Alright.

  • First step in the quarterly routine.

  • Now let's go in with the serum.

  • I don't know which one came first, but something about that makes me chuckle.

  • Alright.

  • It's very, very runny.

  • It's a sort of clear ish serum smells.

  • Oh, Smells like Grandma's.

  • It literally, it smells like every 90 year old house that I've ever been to.

  • It's like potpourri, you know, dried flowers, roses, lavender.

  • Alright.

  • It's quite sticky, quite sticky.

  • Indeed.

  • Want to try the oil.

  • Now, I haven't used oil during the day.

  • The go to face Hero oil that I've used always used that at night.

  • So I'm not sure how I'm gonna like using an oil during the day.

  • This is very runny.

  • Now it said it was a dry oil.

  • It is drying down very quickly.

  • Okay.

  • Alright.

  • I'm not as worried as I was.

  • I was like putting on oil during the day.

  • I'm gonna look like a beef patty glistening in the sun.

  • But no, no, this is actually drying down.

  • It's very pleasant.

  • All right on with the cream now it's a good size.

  • I'm glad for the price that I paid.

  • I'm glad that there's 1.7 Fluid ounces, 50 mils.

  • It's like $10 a mil.

  • Oh stronger sent to this one.

  • Much stronger.

  • That's a nice thick cream, lovely dammit.

  • I didn't use my hyaluronic acid.

  • I've actually missed a few steps.

  • I think I should have put the sunday Riley good genes on before I put on the quarterly serum and I probably should have done my hyaluronic serum for that too.

  • I'm gonna just play around over the next few days because the order that you use your skincare in really does make a difference.

  • But the last one that I'm going in with now is the eye cream.

  • Very small 10.5 fluid ounces 15 mils.

  • This touch of one contains the same amount as this big old bottle.

  • Don't be bamboozled by packaging folks.

  • Okay.

  • Okay.

  • Hello.

  • Yeah, Lord.

  • Are you kidding me.

  • This is either expired or the texture is so thick that it really should be in a pot, not in a squeezy pump thing.

  • Once I can no longer fit my finger in the hole.

  • That's it.

  • There is not going to be any more cream for me.

  • I'll just store this upside down so I can easily stupid Alright, and the last step of the morning always wear sunscreen folks, even if you're inside.

  • So I am using my all time favorite sunscreen by Mecca.

  • Cosmetic to.

  • It's Australian.

  • I don't think you can get this overseas.

  • I pity those of you that can't, it's the best sunscreen in the world.

  • Alright, that's it for the skincare routine.

  • My hairdresser is going to be here very, very soon and you're probably wondering why I want to torch my hair more even though I did say I'm going back to Red guys.

  • That's it, that's it.

  • That's the end of the hair coloring adventures.

  • But you know what?

  • Life is short and so is my hair, If the condition is really bad?

  • Once I get it bleached, I'll just give myself a buzz cut and start again.

  • Okay, don't be mad, but I've destroyed my hair, I guess that's everything.

  • Everything.

  • So basically I just want the whole thing bleached and I just hacked at it with scissors so I don't necessarily want to make it shorter.

  • But I think that once you bleach it, I think it's gonna go really like really just gonna take off whatever you need, whatever is unhappy you can take off, I really don't mind.

  • I have this picture of anne Hathaway that I really liked.

  • So I like the idea of being able to do something like Yeah, I like how this is more like a disconnected kind of haircut.

  • So this fits long.

  • Yeah, we lose a little bit more length off here so that it can go back and not look.

  • Yes, that's ideal.

  • Something like that.

  • Cool.

  • I think you can, yeah, I'm just, I'm happy for you to just take off whatever needs to go.

  • Unless you say all of it needs to go at which point please don't.

  • We will see I'm so excited to go back to blonde.

  • I thought that I was, I was like, oh, I really want to go back to my natural color and I can't recreate my natural color.

  • So anything that's not my natural color, I'm not happy with them.

  • Just like once it's blonde, I'll leave it as blonde and then we'll keep trimming until eventually it's only the regrowth and then it's my natural color.

  • Like instead of me trying to, I have mixed that many concoctions of red, I've been like put some red, a little bit of orange, a little bit of brown and like some yellow in there and nothing can get my natural color.

  • So once you've changed it, it never comes back, it's gone for good.

  • I'm going to fashion week next like this coming week I've got some outfits that I have to wear for certain brands that invited me to their shows and I was like, I tried on one of the dresses and it looked ridiculous with the weird pauline Hanson red hair.

  • I was like, no, no, no, that's not as bad.

  • No pauline Hanson.

  • Well, that's nuts.

  • That like the regrowth bleached so easily.

  • That that was fine.

  • But oh my goodness, I can't believe it.

  • Is there any hope?

  • Do you think it will come out?

  • You did such a good job.

  • That's exactly what I wanted.

  • Yeah, I love it.

  • I love how I can run my fingers through it and it's so cute.

  • Thank you.

  • Grace is here.

  • I'm gonna go surprise her.

  • She's got no idea.

  • I've done my hair.

  • That's exactly what you like it, twins.

  • I do just, it just happened just an hour ago processing, I look more high fashion now.

  • Right?

  • That looks so much like polling you look at the sunshine, Good morning.

  • It's the next day now.

  • So I have officially done my skincare routine in the morning and at night once and this is how my skin is looking.

  • It looks so different already.

  • The only problem is a little pimple has come up here.

  • So I put one of these pimple patches on it.

  • These things, they are so good blemish patch, you can get these from all different brands.

  • It's just a little sort of sticky pad like that and you put it on your pimple and it sucks all of the juice out of it.

  • That's done its job very, very well.

  • The pimple is almost gone.

  • It was a big juicy boy last night when I went to bed.

  • So, time to commence the morning routine.

  • Good morning.

  • I'm gonna miss you guys while I'm gone.

  • I think the hardest part for this morning for me is going to be deciding whether I'm putting my hair slicked back or if I'm going to try to wear it like I had it yesterday and kind of have it soft and forward.

  • See I like it soft and forward like that.

  • But the sleeping back, it feels a little bit more high fashion.

  • But then I got to put group in my hair and I don't really want to put group in my hair.

  • Maybe.

  • I think with the outfit you have today, I would go soft.

  • Yeah, they don't slick it back, slick it back when I'm wearing them.

  • Even the bends are fashionable in Sydney on fashion week.

  • Is that the Doctor and Gabbana?

  • Yeah.

  • Mm hmm.

  • Hello?

  • Hello.

  • Welcome to day two.

  • I'm wearing a blue marine top.
