Today we take a look at some of my favorite and least favorite skincare, haircare, and body care from the last month. Some great, some terrible, and some I wish to change.
Please remember that none of these products are shit, it's just a catchy video name, and just because a product didn’t work for me doesn’t mean you aren’t going to love it.

The way James & Robert describe smells is the absolute best - “this smells like a really successful woman” “this smells like your best friend’s other best friend” 😅👏🏼 and somehow I understand exactly
fr 😂👍
EXACTLY! LOLOL
I just saw Robert describing a scent to a strangers car lol
@@MICHELLE-gu2qc omg lmao idk if you listen to their podcast The Double Cleanse but they have an entire episode about fragrance and James described one of his colognes as smelling like a well-decorated home with nice bits inside and maybe the people smoke but only outside 💀
this sold me the body wash
10:25 Just wanted to hop in and say that yes, aluminium bottles are recyclable and I appreciate that they don't use so much plastic. But the majority of aluminium is still produced with virgin material, which takes a lot of energy. If they had a system where you could send the bottles back and they put it to recycling that would be more environmentally friendly. Just a reminder to stay sceptical when it comes to product marketing 😊
You could always get a Terracycle box for skincare and household items
LMAO The way James describes smells is just out of this world . "This smells like your best friend other best friend" or "The scent transport me in a time that probably didn't exist" HAHAHA WHAT !!!?
LOOOOL! I have a fragrance video coming soon so be prepared for more descriptions that don’t make sense 🥲😂
I am bummed about the Versed sunscreen, it had the potential to be so good given that Versed is a great brand and it was co-created with a Black Woman, but it's a disappointing product.
“i don’t want to smell like a 14 year old” was probably the best description to describe the body shop products 🤣🤣 you make me laugh ilyyyyyy
*James, I’m unsure if you’ll even see this* but last week I left a comment on your “these will go viral” video, telling you how much I appreciate you during this very difficult month I’ve endured. You responded & it meant a lot to me, so I wanted to give you an update. After leaving a toxic/ab*sive relationship I had no where to go, nobody to turn to (no family), & as a single mom of 3 young boys I was feeling very hopeless & lost. Well, last night an unexpected deposit hit my account. It was $ I’d been expecting years ago that never came, so I gave up waiting. *It finally came* & I’m now able to get my children & I a home. I fell to the ground in tears when I saw that deposit & I’m so blessed & grateful for it. I just wanted to say, *PLEASE* never stop doing what you love. Because for some of us, it’s the only escape we have from the tragedies going on in our lives. Your videos truly helped me push through this past month & I cannot thank you enough for what you do. Much much love from that one single mommy in Louisiana.🥺💙💙💙
Bless you for leaving. Especially with no certain future. Youre one of the few. I left too. Probably a month before I wouldn't be able to. As for that deposit, awesome!! Putting it out in the universe, it works ! Anyway, all love and positive vibes from Ca
Sending light and love from a mama of 4 in Louisiana. 💓💓💓💓
@@willowhofmann7409 thank you so much for the love & support I appreciate it more than you’ll ever know! 😭💙
@@crissycrossed9692 thank you, love! Where in Louisiana!?
I’m also in Louisiana, north in Springhill. James and Robert definitely pick me up when I’m feeling blue. Congratulations on being able to live your life on your own terms.
AHHHHH we are fan-girling! Thank you so much for the Silkie Rinse love, we are HONORED to be in your routine! 💖💖💖
We’re having my 15 year old pittie baby put down tomorrow and i haven’t stopped crying all day. I swear you are the only human capable of not only putting a smile on my face but actually getting a genuine laugh out of me today. Thank you James not only for the consistent stellar recs but for the sunshine you emanate which effortlessly brightens even the saddest of days. Sending you eternal gratitude & love from the US💛 xoxo
I am so 😢 sorry.
In January I had to put my 20yr old family dog down. It will be so, so painful, but I promise you it gets easier to exist with the sorrow as time passes. Do whatever you need to do to feel okay, and grieve in whichever way makes sense to you ❤️
I'm sorry for your lost. 💕
Six months later I hope you're slowly recovering from such a hard and painful experience.
My 17 year-old cat died 3 years ago and I still can't bring myself to look at his photos 🥺😢.
Sending you love 💙💜
Sad to read this 😢 hope you guys are doing well. I recommend the Welsh twins channel if you’re unaware of them, hilariously funny and always makes me feel good 😊
Fun fact : 'Kopari' is derived from a tamil word 'kopparai' meaning dried out mature coconut , which is used to extract coconut oil.
'First of all, that's f#@king rude! You know I have rosacea!' You go hun! Someone asked me if I was an addict once because I had eczema on the inside of my elbows. How very dare!
Yes yes! I had someone tell me I use too much blush... I use none! Just rosacea blaring through because I didn't have a good enough coverage foundation. -_-
Some people need to learn how to just keep their mouths shut! So absolutely rude!
@@kirstynmcleary4963 I know right! It's like their opinion/curiosity is more important than your feelings. So rude!
Even if you WERE an addict or WERE using too much blush it's no one's place to say that's literally so rude... no manners
@@beckpenny1062 it’s pretty disgusting that people can be so rude, like best case scenario is they hurt your feelings, how is that an ok option.
I have a permanent mark in my arm, it’s over one of my obvious veins. I have to often explain it’s not from being a junkie. It’s actually from when I was pregnant and really sick and needed constant IV fluids, it was often the only vein they could use because I was so dehydrated from being so sick. It happened enough over my pregnancy that it left a scar.
As I said best case hurt someone’s feelings, worst case make light of someone’s trauma. Neither of those are acceptable and people need to do better.
The spritz mist seems like a really good idea for people who hate body creams aka myself - unfortunately, the dermatologist I went to last week said I *have* to use bodycream, and prescribed me 30(!) 500g bottles of canoderm cream, so I guess I’m set for life🤣
It's so nice to hear someone outside of Korea talk about Aestura! Everyone raves about Iilyoon, and I think it pales in comparison to Aestura. My dermatologist here in Korea recommended it years ago, and it's been my holy grail since then. The limited edition you mentioned is because of the size. The typical size is 80ml, and that's all that is currently available in Korea. The large size you showed in the video was a special edition for 2021.
you should add a “mid” section for things like the lip balm that you loved other than the scent of it (so like “hits, shits, and mids”). love the video!
Perfect thing for a Sunday afternoon. My day was going kind of bad but now this video is making it turn around. Thanks for the great content ❤️🥰
Round of applause for description box! I love the legend and how thorough you made your related information 🙌🏼
Laughed so many times during this. Absolutely love listening to you describe scents. Love youuuu
Because of your amazing description I am ready to purchase the forever mood candles as well as that body wash. Thanks for being part of my Sunday ritual. Much love to you.💕🇨🇺
You changed my skin. Thank uuuuu tons ms welsh💕
Oh what a delight that is to see you here! You and your friend bring me lots of laughter :D
My pleasure 🥺💜
The collab we all need 😍😍
Please do these every month, I love the hits and shits videos! Also happy late birthday!!

Your description of Scents are amazing! “It smells like your best friends other friend” ♥️♥️♥️
I love how descriptive you are …. Love it ! I relate to everything you say. When you say ,” ya know ?” I reply ,” yasssss!” 😘
James, I’m with you on the whole body butters. I’ve never been a fan of them until I tried the Josie Maran Whipped Argan Oil Body Butter. It’s whipped so it’s light and it absorbs into the skin beautiful. You should give this one a try.
I’ll give it a go for sure!!
I've heard that one is really good! My sister loves it.
I agree! I just recently received it from my spring fabfitfun & omg it rubs in so quickly & does not leave u feeling sticky at all!!
It's the only body butter/lotion I use!
@@misshell2223 i also received it in my fff box and fell in love. I loved it so much that when it went on sale at Sephora I bought the vanilla bean scent. I think I like that one a little better.
Thank you for the video. I'm having such a bad day at work and a terrible wardrobe day as well. So thank you for letting my brain take a break from the stress!!
Just bought the shower gels! You describe them so enticing and that texture looks amazing. I would love to see you talking about your candles!!! Love, from California
14:34 “first of all, that’s fucking rude, you know I have rosacea” 🤣 Hahaha I just love you James.
I love that you put bodycare in this video too 😍😍
so many great recommendations from you. everyone I have tried has been a winner. love glo recipe my skin looks better today because of you. keep up the great detailed recommendations. you and your brother are amazing.
Hi James! Just finished Robert's new video! Love you both! 💚
I ordered two bottles of Saltair before the video was over! Love these videos!! 😄
James, you are my zen zone whenever I’m in the bath after a long day and helped me find so many products that have changed my skin. So thanks for that ❤️ I swear by the Ouai leave in conditioner! I’ve been using it for a year and it never disappoints and I swear my hair is healthier.

Happy Birthday, James💜💜💜
I love how you always give credit!
Love these product review videos!! And can’t believe people are obnoxious and rude enough to comment on your skin 😒😤 I think your skin looks flawless always 🥰 I aspire to have such healthy looking skin one day 🥺
When he made that comment I laughed lmao
I’m going to the stores today so this video came just in time🤩
I've only been watching a short while but I'm picking up a few things from your videos that make so much sense. Thank you for this. Long term my skin will be better and more protected.
I now look at ingredients before buying anything I put near my face. Before I'd buy and just hope for the best (my skin isn't overly sensitive, my eyes react to some preservatives though which is the bigger issue for skincare products for me).
I'm also using a suncream every day now. Before I'd only use in the summer because, living in Scotland, we don't get to see the sun that often, it's easy to forget it's still there behind the clouds! I've moved to a mineral suncream for my face which doesn't irritate my eyes or nose (I didn't really understand the difference before and avoided suncream for my face sometimes because it made me want to claw my eyes out after putting on). I'm now trying to work out the true effectiveness of it and if it does deliver what it promises before I invest in a bigger tube for the summer since it's a bit more expensive than I'd normally spend on a suncream.
I've also learned things like wash your hair first in the shower which makes sense, but I'm ashamed to say I've got to this point in my life not realising the sense behind doing that (my skin thanks you for this tip!).
Sorry for the long comment, but I want to say thank you for putting the information in a way that is easy to take in and let you know we are learning from your videos. 😊
New subscriber. I learn so much from you and you are such a pleasant person to listen to. May you hit 2 million subs soon💕
Aw thank you so much ☺️🙏🏼💜
Perfect Sunday with our birthday Twins!! 😻😻😻💜💜💜
I was desperate for a good leave in conditioner, great timing!! 👍🏻
I also love that ouai leave-in conditioner, it smells amazing. But one thing you didn’t mention is that it’s a wonderful detangler too, more so than products devised specifically for that! So if anyone has bad knots and tangles like I do, I highly recommend this!
I've recently discovered Glow Recipe and I'm in love! I bought EVERYTHING and now about 3 weeks later my skin has never looked better. Their body cream is fire 🔥.
I didn’t mind the Bellflower sunscreen. It wasn’t the best but I thought it was ok. A little heavy and silicone-y for sure. It also didn’t sting my eyes. I wouldn’t repurchase it though, I have other sunscreens I prefer.
Love this i just adore u so much my Sunday just got better💙💛🙏🏼🙌🏼⭐️
Happy Belated Birthday sweetie. I hope it was incredible!! Love you hon 😘
P.S. I'm not used to seeing you in a pure white shirt-very handsome!
Sean Garrett and Jackie Aina, anything they drop or recommend gets heavily considered. Also you too, James! great video
Jackie Aina for fragrances in particular! Such good taste
@@JamesWelsh exactly!!!!
James you should do a get ready with me with your hair and skincare routine. 🖤
Man these videos just make me what to buy all the hits but I’m on a strict budget 😂
Describing the Saltair and Forvr Mood is so point. I just got my Lush Greens body wash but I got a deodorant in Black Tide. Between this brand and Naturium; I can't go back to products that don't combine actual skincare ingredients. I'm a clean beauty minimalist anyway so it's go time.
Oh I'm so excited for a winning barrier repair product! I've been using Great Barrier Repair and it works wonderfully but I loathe loathe loathe the smell of it.
Upon reading the comments I’m glad I’m not the only one talking back to James as he describes scents and smells and “texture” lol! I love it! Also, now I need to smell that body wash 🧴 like I’m curious what “success” smells like 😂😂😂
I’m obsessed with the ouai leave in conditioner. Smells amazing and works really well. Makes your hair super soft also. I use it on mine and my daughters hair, have been using it for 2 years now.
It’s so good! I recently realised that they sponsor a few influencers so I found some discount codes too! 😅
I use the Flamingo spray body lotion from Target in my hair with the Ouai wave spray and my curls have never looked or felt better
You explaining the scent is SO FUCKIN RELATABLE! 😂
I can’t for the life of me explain to anyone that different smells just spark certain memories for me. Smell plays a huge trigger in terms of memory for me.
Also the way you explain it, I GET IT. I can almost smell the product!
Thanks for reminding me about the OUAI, you spoke about it on the podcast and I was driving and Siri had NO CLUE how to spell it in a note 🤣🤣🤣
yay for easily recycleable non-plastic packaging! (even with dents!) 😆 ty for reviewing!
I love that lip balm 🤣🤣🤣. It doesn't make me cough though! I love your videos ❤
Hi James!! I love your channel and its so sad when its about brands we don’t get in my country!🥺 if you are interested in trying other brands for us Namibian and South African fans, consider la roche posay, loreal, Avene, bioderma, eucerin, Neutrogena, Olay, Uriage and Vichy!
If I order online, it either doesn’t deliver here of the delivery is 4 times the price of the product(no exaggeration).
Love you very much😘
happy happy bdayyy skincare king! never trust a mineral sunscreen 😂
Oaui has my favorite leave in Conditioner. I have gone through several bottles. They have a really nice body/scalp Scrub as well!
Whenever James recommends something my cart gets more expensive 😂😍
That's so funny! The NEOGEN Snail repair ESSENCE is my holy grail. Never tried the cream but the ESSENCE is friggin amazing
I love the Ouai leave in conditioner! The smell is amazing 🤩
Bioderma are my new love for moisturiser, I have combination skin verging towards greasy and it is just so perfect. If it wasn't for this channel I'd still be using only Simple products and would have never learned that there's a whole other world of affordable skincare without heavy fragrance/fragrance free. I know so much more about how to tailor products to me.
Yes, please, to monthly updates like this :)
Hi James, I've been enjoying Byoma and GoodLight products recently. I had covid in March 2022 and my skin did not like it! Red, flaking, horror stuff like one of the monsters in Crimson Peak. The Byoma stuff in the 30ml blue bottle really really helped me - dead gentle and made a noticeable difference in 4 days. Always enjoy your videos and your skin looks wonderful!
I am so the same about body care, I’m so here for the spray hydration!
I feel like you'd like love the forest essentials cleanser by hearing your description of that pink cleanser
I do the exact same thing with my moisturizer - elbows and knees lol. During the winter I’m so cold once I get out of the shower, and want to get dressed asap.
new subscriber here - but have been watching for a while. youre lovely!
I just wanted to say how much i love your content. . Please review the new tatcha silk mineral sunscreen, hearing great things about it (apart from the price) 😬
I love the Ouai leave-in conditioner! It's a new favorite for me :)
This may sound dumb, but I love your accent and listening to you speak and you are very, very funny 😄
For quick and easy body moisturizer, buy a mist sprayer and put Hadalabo Gokujun Hyaluronic Lotion Moist in it and you can spray your body and your face in the shower. It’s amazing! I started doing it to help my eczema during the winter. Now I do it every day. It’s 1/3rd the cost of most body mists
The Ouai products are great. Kaylee’s biological mother is black, her bio father a strawberry blond, so she has several different textures of hair. That leave-in conditioner is one of the best I’ve used on her hair.
I love Kiramoon!! I also bought them because of Instagram, but hadn’t tried the cleanser yet. Guess I’ll have to give it a go!
ok definitely getting that first product!!
James, this video hipped me to Saltair and my body skin is so much better for it! A year and a half later, I am a total devotee to their body wash and lotion.
I LOVE Ouai hair products, and the bottles are so elegant and minimalist. Their volume spray is almost desert island status for me. Now I want to try that leave in, too…
Have used the Ouai leave in conditioner, as well as the shampoo, and conditioner. Truly enjoyed the whole system.😊💖
That leave in conditioner is my HOLY GRAIL, best product from them
"You'll get this because you're not a fucking idiot like me"
James, challenge accepted.
James, you made me want the Kiramoon cleanser, which I'll likely buy, and I love Oaui products! They smell amazing!
We hope you'll try it! 😊 You can get 20% off your first order when you sign up for our email list 💖
@@kiramoonbeauty Ordered the cleanser yesterday!! Thank you, James and Kiramoon!
@@toniapedd YAYYY! Thank you so much for your order! Can't wait to hear what you think 💖💖💖
I love how you say aluminum. I was like what is ala-mun-e-am at first? Then I realized, and I love it! ❤️ comment from Washington D.C. 🙃
Love how you describe the smell.
Great video James. What do you think about growth factors? Are they worth it or a waste of money? Thanks in advance
The Paula's Choice lip booster has made my older lips much nicer. I only use it at night because it's not really a lip balm to me; it's a lip treatment. My upper lip especially looks much fuller.
Oh god I needed some James right now, I was literally fucking crying my eyes out, time for some smiling❤️
I saw the brand Aestura on a TikTok and had to order it, it is an amazing moisturizer, excited to try their most and cleansing water.
Your accent is so amazing❤️
Up for 24 SECONDS when I hit my subscription page. Woah. I bet it's awesome.
Lol@“who’s hair gets that hot”. Heat styling tools!🤣! I need at least 410 degrees F to get my hair straight with a flat iron. Good heat protection is a must!!
Happy birthday so nice to see u post!!!! What are your thoughts on eczema and bumpy skins.. or my son can't handle lotions or soaps..weird how textures irate him...stay well lots of love n happiness ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
What you liked about the Aestura ATO cream is what I love about the Pyungkang Yul ATO cream -- but with no smell. I also have rosacea and flush quite easily. I tried a new product and got one of my worst flares (I missed the EOs in it). I immediately rinsed with tepid water, but it was still feeling like sunburn I put the Pyungkang Yul ATO on and it settled it down really quickly. You should try it!
Loved the video as always 🥰 where did you get your uv camera mirror?
Ouai did a leave in conditioner collab with Byredo’s Mohave ghost scent..Holy hell. I had to buy a back up, love it so much ❤️
I didn't mind the bellflower sunscreen at all, i even got like 6 of them 😅. Especially the smell, i never thought it was very alcoholy 🤔. Sure it's not the best, but i definitely thought that it was among the top. My only problem is that it starts peeling off easily. As my grandma would say, a 100 people, a 100 different preferences (doesn't sound as good in English)
Honestly me as well - I love this sunscreen as it's one of the very few that keeps my face from getting oily or itchy throughout the day.. it doesnt even have a scent to me lmao. It also has a watermelon on it because it has watermelon extract in it.. Not because it's supposed to have artificial watermelon fragrence,, which confused me a bit when James mentioned that, as if it was a given that it should have it 😅
Thank you I wanted to try that pink cleanser !
I laughed out loud when you said "that's really f**king rude"
My favorite lip balm is from Summer Fridays. I like my lip balm to be on the medium texture side bc it last longer thru out the day. I’m not the type that likes to reapply. This lip balm works great for me.
Your review videos are my favorite, I mean of course I’m gonna click on Satans essential oils but it’s the reviews for me. Also where is Glow recipe sunscreen cause I know your using it!
Lmao "I was like OMG WTF?" lol you crack me up love watching your videos
The light behind your head kinda makes you look like your heads on fire 😆 also I just moved to the uk and I needed to know what to buy so thank you !!!!
I started skin care only after watching ur videos my skin has transformed..
