00:00Hey guys, it's Mianne and this is Beauty With Me.
00:02There is one place that I go every single week without fail, and that is Trader Joe's.
00:08I would always walk by the beauty aisle at Trader Joe's, but I would never really stop
00:13take a good hard look.
00:14Last month, I did an entire routine using only products from Whole Foods, and when that
00:18video went up, a bunch of you guys were like, do Trader Joe's, so I was like, okay.
00:23So I went to Trader Joe's earlier today.
00:25I got a big ol' bag of stuff.
00:28Sadly, unlike Whole Foods, Trader Joe's does not have a makeup section.
00:32Before we get into it though, please make sure you are subscribed down below, click the little
00:36red button, hang out with me every single Monday.
00:38Beauty With Me comes out at 11 AM.
00:41I got a bunch of stuff from my hair care to my body lotion to my toner to my sunscreen,
00:46and the entire thing came out to $89.10.
00:491, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17.
00:5517 items, and the most expensive thing was $8.99.
01:00Can't complain.
01:01The price is right at Trader Joe's.
01:03I'm going to try all this stuff for the remainder of the week, and I will let you know at
01:06the
01:06end of the week what I thought about everything.
01:09So I will see you guys then.
01:11Bye.
01:11Hi, guys.
01:12I am back, and it has been seven days since I last saw you.
01:15I have been using the Trader Joe's products for the entire week, and I have really enjoyed
01:20it.
01:21Please excuse the hair.
01:22I am filming a video later this afternoon that is related to this hair, and it's going
01:27up in two weeks.
01:28So let me know in the comments what you think I'm doing because it's a little bit different
01:33for me.
01:34But enough rambling.
01:35Let's get into it.
01:36The haircare aisle was a little bit daunting for me just because my hair is color-treated
01:40now.
01:41I was a little bit nervous about finding color-safe options at Trader Joe's, but I did.
01:46This is the shampoo that I chose.
01:47It's the Tea Tree Tingle shampoo.
01:49It has this beautiful, refreshing tea tree eucalyptus-y kind of scent.
01:53It has no sulfate in it, and it is safe for all hair types.
01:57It makes your hair feel very clean.
01:59This is the Tea Tree Tingle conditioner.
02:01I actually expected this to be a lot lighter than it was.
02:05It actually is super hydrating.
02:07It made my hair feel super smooth.
02:09Again, no sulfates.
02:11All around good conditioner, good little companion to the Tea Tree Tingle shampoo.
02:16In the shower, I used this oatmeal soap.
02:19I put this thingy back on it because it was kind of gross.
02:22But I really like this soap.
02:23It's a really no-frills, like oatmeal-infused soap.
02:26It smells good, and it doesn't make your skin feel dry.
02:30The hair mask that I used was this one.
02:33It's called the Trader Joe's Shea Butter.
02:34I always say shea butter.
02:37Shea butter.
02:38And coconut oil hair mask.
02:40Wasn't as hydrating as I would have liked.
02:42It does have a really nice texture, though it comes out like as a nice smooth cream.
02:45I like that it comes in a squeezy tube rather than a pot.
02:48I really don't like that so many hair masks come in pots and you have to stick your hands
02:52in it, your hair gets in it, water gets in it, it's disgusting.
02:56This is nice.
02:57It didn't give me that smoothness that I like out of some of my other hair masks.
03:01It did make my hair feel very soft.
03:03I would even just use it as a very deep conditioning treatment, just as my conditioner.
03:07Let's talk about this body butter because I loved this body butter.
03:12It smells so good.
03:14This is the coconut body butter, it has coconut shea butter and vitamin E in it.
03:19Instead of being like a twist off cap, it just, wait, it just opens up like that.
03:26You know when you have like body butter all over your hands and your hands are all like
03:29greasy, you don't want to have to screw a cap back on something, you don't have to.
03:33It absorbs really fast, it's great just to slap on all over and doesn't make my skin
03:39feel really gross and oily.
03:41So, in the morning and night, I would use this Trader Joe's Spa Face Wash with Tea Tree
03:45Oil.
03:46I liked it.
03:47I think it was a nice gentle cleanser, however, it's a little bit soapier than other face washes.
03:54It just hangs around longer on the skin, so you have to use a bit more water to wash it
03:58off.
03:59But I do like that Trader Joe's has a face wash that is targeted more at acne because
04:04tea tree oil is amazing for acne because it's antibacterial.
04:06So, at night, before I would go in with the Tea Tree Oil Cleanser, I would use the Trader
04:12Joe's Facial Cleansing Oil.
04:13I really like this.
04:15It cuts through waterproof mascara really easily.
04:17It's a good basic cleansing oil, it removes makeup really well, doesn't leave my skin feeling
04:23too oily, although I always double cleanse after I use a cleansing oil.
04:26So, once my skin is clean, I'd move on to toner, and this is the Rosewater Facial Toner.
04:34It just smells so nice.
04:37Rosewater, ro-
