15 Products I Would Drive 1000 Miles For

The good news is that i dont have to drive a thousand miles to get these skincare items because they are actually in stores. This is phenomenal. We are talking ulta, we are talking walmart target sephora as siri likes to call it and specifically, some of the absolute best products that are available, that holy ive spent a ton of money on skin care and ive gone through so much trial and error over the Past 10 years, and if i just knew that this existed, i would have saved so much time and money. So lets start our journey of a thousand miles, which is actually only like 14, but that doesnt matter were gon na start by heading to ulta. Guess what is available in ulta or who? What who are you uh? Well, you are a noun, but what kind of a noun good molecules is available in ulta stores and my wallet is so happy good molecules, isnt, just good molecules. They are great molecules and my skin loves them, and some of my favorite products, which yes now come in even more vegan formulas – are there ulta as a retailer is phenomenal. They have so many different items, they have drugstore and prestigious sections and the fact that theyre actually onboarding brands that i know and love and use such as these guys makes me so happy. This right here is the discoloration serum. Yes, it is on shelves – and i just want it in my pores and if you are struggling with hyperpigmentation, if you get dark marks after acne, if you do have a little bit of sun damage, this is it for you.

This has tetraceutic tx vector, which is a form of tranexamic acid that is supposed to penetrate deeper into the skin. We know and love tranexamic acid for helping with menstrual bleeding and bullet wounds and yes for pigmentation pathways within your beautiful fists. Tranexamic acid is really great, but this also has niacinamide, and we know that niacinamide is great for oil control, but yes, it actually stops pigmentation from spreading. The great thing about niacinamide is that it doesnt stop your skin from actually creating pigment. It allows it to be created and then it just says: no, no, you stay right here and dont spread to the keratinocytes over there, just like hang out over here, and so then it stops that pigmentation from actually causing issues and showing up visibly on the face. Again, this is such a great serum, especially if you struggle with hyperpigmentation and acne, and this little glass package of fix, my face place is only 12 and if you are the kind of person who likes to go in the store to swatch things out to try Them on to put them in your basket to touch and feel them before you invite them home. Oh, is that too far have we established what kind of noun this is? Do we say they do? We say them? Do we say it help? The point being, you can get your hands on this in store before you take it home and we are partnering with good molecules.

Only on a portion of this video and the technical partnership is only to announce that its available in ulta and everything else. They were just like blab and run your mouth and im like great, because i am really good at doing that and if you want to look at this with me, they have this nothing to hide ingredients list. You know most cosmetic manufacturers and skincare companies. They have to tell you what is in the product, that is a regulatory standard, that by law companies got ta, do, but good molecules actually shows you the percentage and parts per million of the ingredient, basically exposing more about the formula and really sticking to transparency about Whats in their products and how theyre made because they believe in their good great molecules and actually believe in the science behind how they work and sharing that with others, silicone free, priming moisturizer that is filled with shea butter and propandial. This is such an amazing skin. Moisturizer and i dont hate fragrances or alcohols or silicones in my products, but for some people they choose to avoid them or they feel that they irritate their skin. This is probably the best silkiest creamiest, most absorbent moisturizer. I have ever used that feels like silicone. Without any of the silicones, this is like your favorite fluffy blanket that you got washed and its fresh and its right out of the dryer and its hella fluffy. Oh, my god and you know a little bit moist, but it just makes your skin feel like you are being tucked in at night after a bedtime story.

Now, if you have super dry skin, this might not cut it. You might need an oil on top just to seal things in, but if you are looking for a moisturizer that really does feel like a comforting comforter on your face. This has got to be one of the best out there and again for those who choose not to use alcohol. If you are halal, if you just dont like alcohol in your products, and you choose to avoid that, if you dont want fragrances, it is fragrance free and if you dont want silicones, which again i dont hate. Oh my god, this has your name written on it. As well as some very cute packaging and just like its sibling, it is 12 doll hairs. Now this instant cleansing bomb is so exciting for me because it is finally vegan. It is a vegan cruelty, free version. The entire line is cruelty, free, but not all of their products were vegan, but now this one is comes with a little scooper and this cleansing balm is explosive to dirt oil and makeup. If you are looking for a fragrance free version of like the hamish all clean bomb, this is it. This is such a lovely, melty and milky formula that just makes your face, look and feel amazing. This removes sunscreen. This removes makeup. This removes the dirt the oil and the impurities that yes like to make their way into my pilo sebaceous units on a daily basis and im like.

Can you stop driving a thousand miles deep into my pores and um? Allow me to drive to the stores to actually get products to get the gunk out. Thank you and off technically, this comes in as an easy breezy orange juice, squeezy 15 doll hairs and it is fragrance free now back to the oiliness, the hyperpigmentation, the people who struggle with the blemishes, the niacinamide toner, is something that i feel like so many brands Are missing? We have a ton of exfoliating toners, we have essences but wheres the niacinamide toner thats, not chalky, that absorbs well and it gets to work well here. She is she she he they it again. I dont know like tell me your pronouns. This has basically all of the ingredients that fight against hyperpigmentation and if you are struggling with hyperpigmentation that found this recently – and this would probably be like a first line of defense, its gentle, it soaks onto the skin – well its not overly irritating, and not only does It have that niacinamide, but it also has vitamin c, which is brightening arbutin, which is related to hydroquinone, and we know is a great agent to make sure that pigmentation doesnt stick around the skin. Youve got licorice root, extract and glycerin to hydrate. All in this beautiful beautiful formula, this is like a waterfall for my cheeks, not those cheeks, but i mean you could this is 14 and its only available at ulta beauty.

So you literally cant get it anywhere else, but this is absolutely phenomenal and the glass packaging it feels more luxurious. It looks good on your countertop, but its also better for the planet and for my pores and, if youre looking for something that helps with hyperpigmentation but isnt in serum or moisturizer form, if youre starting to layer. Your actives and youre, like oh, i dont, know where my niacinamide fits. This is really great because it plays so well with everything else, really good during the day and okay at night as well. If you want a video on how we layer my favorite products from good molecules or from ultas picks, we can definitely do that, but lets move on to this that miss alexanelle made me buy holy sh. Do i love this? This is the rose, water daily cleansing gel and we actually reacted to dr mikes skincare routine. I think he uses this too this. You know you definitely are going to need a cleansing balm if you have heavy sunscreen, dirt oil, makeup, etc. But if youre looking for a good non stripping water based cleanser, this daily cleansing gel, does make my face feel like rose petals now this is the rose water. This is not necessarily rose whats great about this is that if you are sensitive to fragrances but youre not allergic to fragrances, this doesnt have rose oil. It doesnt even have like some rose, essential fragrance extract. It has rose water as well as pineapple fruit extract and so its really mild and gentle on the skin.

You still get a sensorial experience. You still get a little bit of an antioxidant boost, but its not overly stripping to the skin, and i have found this to be completely and irritating. I even use this in my eyes, and there are a lot of things that just make my eyeballs sting. There are a lot of things that make me cry, and this is not one of them. It is also 12 and available exclusively at ulta. What is the name? Ulta mean: oh ultimate, wow cassandra that only took me 15 years, but now lets drive a thousand miles. Jk, just three actually down to walmart tough. Is it bubble skincare bubble? Skincare is a brand that is made to support both your skin and mental health, and they are officially available on store shelves at walmart when bubble was doing some of their research as to which retailer they should go into. They were looking at, like you, know, sephora and stuff like that, and they found that, especially for young teens, who struggled with acne. They almost felt intimidated going into sephora and when doing research and asking teens said that they went to walmart like twice a month with their parents to get groceries or even twice a week in some cases and bubble was like. We want this to be accessible. We want this to be affordable, so they put it in walmart where, yes, you can go, get it and its so cute.

They actually have like this little end cap, like little shelf thing, its all made of cardboard. All of the plastic is recycling and they actually have a terracycle program too, if you really want to get sustainable with bubble but holy. These are some of my favorite products. This is 14 and something cents, and these work so well on my skin. For anyone who is struggling with acne and like this is revolutionizing skin care, like even the founder, was talking about how acne products were, like you know, from neutrogena or like from clean and clear and in the last two decades that hasnt changed at all and theyre. Basically, coming in and saying, okay step aside, neutrogena cetaphil clean and clear, we are the acne brand that is built for teen or adults who get breakouts and we actually support mental health and education in a way that works and its cute and its fun and its Affordable this is the bubble level up balancing moisturizer, and this is so good. This is a nice gel like formula and oh, my god, if you have oily skin, this is just a literal summer. Dream like this is friendship on the basketball courts like if lana del rey were to be a teenager, struggling with acne playing basketball. I dont know this reminds me of basketball. You know in the summer, with flowers in her hair, like blowing some bubbles on the sidelines as well, when shes not actively shooting hoops blindfolded backwards from across the court.

This is it it is so good, and especially for summer. I love gel moisturizers because i do have more oily prone skin. This moisturizer just does it for my face. It is 14.98 and yes, it is available just a few aisles down from the vegan chicken nuggets. The bounce back, refreshing toner spray is also under 12, and this is such a favorite first off its freaking adorable. If its on the go in your car buy your bathroom, you name it if you want to use it as a toner. If you want to spray throughout the day, if you have body acne, you can actually reach with this one, and you can spray a ton of it, because its 1.8 fluid ounces for again 12 doll hairs. If youre, looking for a toner for your body or for on the go, this does have willow bark in it. A lot of bubble. Products have niacinamide. This is just absolutely fantastic, and i love this brand so much for what they do for mental health. The way they give back the way they actually listen to their customers, they have created so many amazing products and they actually listen to what people need now. What is very interesting and is brand new to me is this from boots, and yes, this is available at target and holy sh. When i tell you mind, blown im, saying mind blown now, this ones a little bit different, because even though i drove a thousand miles for these just kidding, i didnt actually drive a thousand miles.

It was probably like four and a half, but you know, were gon na call it a thousand. I have not actually had a chance to try these, yet i literally got these like two days ago and i have not yet put them on my face, but these are from boots, which is a drugstore retailer in the uk. Its super popular ive been in one just like once it was probably 10 years ago and they basically came out with this ingredients line which is kind of like you know the ordinary, the inky list kind of this vibe, where they are giving you targeted, actives, just Kind of basic ingredients and allowing you to mix and match what you want this right here is the aha serum. So this would be really good if someone wants a nice form of water soluble exfoliation, but with full transparency. I havent actually tried these yet. So i cannot vouch to how well they do or dont work but again theyre at target. So if i need to go make a return, i literally can just run my ass over to target and make a little target run and get some grapes and some chocolate hummus while im there did. You know that target sells chocolate hummus, they have a squalling cleanser, which reminds me so much of the ordinary, and i am not a fan of the ordinary squalling cleanser. So i cannot wait to test these face to face and then they have this really cool.

Hyaluronic acid, moisturizer and serum, but they also have a hyaluronic acid sleep mask, and this is almost what im most intrigued by. You know that sleep masks are basically just thicker moisturizers, but im not gon na lie, i do fall for them and i do buy them and i do love them. So this one seemed very interesting and i wanted to give it a try. This bad boy is supposed to be super hydrating and again this entire boots line. Everything is under, like 10 bucks. This hyaluronic acid sleep mask is literally 5.99, so youre getting one fluid ounce and it is a very bouncy formula on first impressions and i do want to compare this to the hyaluronic acid moisturizer and see how they compare. But this is extraordinarily exciting and available at the same store that the cat treats are the squalling. Cleanser is also 5.99, the aha serum is 8.99 and even the retinal serum that they have is 8.99. This is also very interesting, its giving me you know kind of inky list vibes as well. I want to try it out and see how potent it is because again, this is all brand new to me, but it is available at tarjay, which is how i say target when i want to feel bougie, but i can now do it on a budget now, If we actually want to get bougie, you know where we could go, we could go to the store that dont get me wrong.

I really love and like where the employees half judge you for whether or not your winged liner is even or whether or not youre even wearing winged liner were talking about the stripy, sephora and dont. Get me wrong. I love sephora, but the more and more. I look at it from a critical lens. Oh yeah sephora is a vibe like sephoras, a vibe and its definitely a more exclusive one, not always the most inviting, but sephora now has one of my favorite skincare brands, paulas choice. This was news a little while ago. We actually posted about it on cassandra approved and i was planning to go in and to shop the shelves, but guess what happened. My mother schedule happened, but i try really hard. Okay anyways. I was planning to go to sephora and shop them on the shelf. Havent had a chance to step into the store yet because that one is actually like a thousand miles away. Well, actually, no theres, one thats pretty close and to access it. The parking or the public transit is just atrocious. So we dont go there as often as we want to anyways. I digress. Paulas choice is available at sephora, which means that you can get sephora points on this. You can shop this in store and you can actually try out a lot of these products before you buy them. The exfoliating toner is absolutely one of my favorites. This is literally a holy grail for me and my acne prone skin.

They also have some really good omega creams. They have this, which is brand new to me. They did send me this. This is the hyaluronic acid and peptide lip booster with squalene. I dont know im trying more lip products, but i am not like a huge lip product person. I found this one from skin store that i love but other than that im like if its not spf. Why am i with it? If its not my bff? Is it just a side hoe like i dont need the drama, but maybe maybe this has a place on my face. We will try it out, but this is a lip booster paulas choice has so many great products. Some of their cleansers are really good. I feel like, if youre looking to be a bit more budget friendly, i wouldnt go for a polish choice. Cleanser i would go for some of their actives. Their azelaic acid booster is helipotent hella good if you have rosacea or if you have acne, especially if youre pregnant azoleic acid is safe for use during pregnancy. They also have an amazing antioxidant serum its in a pink container. Paulas choice is just amazing and paula herself has wrote books about kissing and every single time i get a new paulas choice. Product mwah, i just want to kiss it and then shove it into my face, and the great news is that if you dont have a credit card well then how would you buy it in store? I guess you could pay for cash.

I was going to say if you dont have a credit card, then its perfect, because if you cant shop online, you can shop in store, but usually, if you shop in store, youre going to want a credit card or a debit card, or something like that, because I dont think sephora or ulta or anything takes a check. Would they i dont know someone in retail help me. Do you take checks? I dont believe so, unless i am sorely mistaken, but the point in case is that if you wanted to pay cash, you actually could, because these are available in stores, but also you cant actually touch these. You can feel them. You can try before you buy and you can play around with them on your face and you can get points again, a huge thank you to good molecules for allowing us to announce this with them. They are from san francisco and they just basically said cassandra. Can you let people know were in ulta and im like holy? Yes? Can i please go? Can i please share my favorites as well as the other things that i cannot wait to put into my cart physically. Take them to the checkout aisle go beep beep beep, with a little scanner, then put them in a reusable shopping bag and then take them out to my car. Put them in a little seat, buckle them in next to me and drive them home to put them on my face its just so much more of a process, and sometimes you kind of want that.

If i see you in the stores, please come give me a hug and always remember to stay hydrated reapply your spf and be beautiful both inside and out. I love you beautiful butterflies and i cant wait to see you in this next video or in the stores. I will see you in ulta, yes, sister is having unofficial, meet and greets in aisle.
