Speaker 1: Hey, beauties, it's Jamie Joe and Jessimasuit and welcome to Influence,
Speaker 1: a podcast dedicated to beauty, fashion and self love.
Speaker 2: Turning your weakness into your uniqueness.
Speaker 1: Before we get started, we'd like to acknowledge the custodians
Speaker 1: of the land on which we record the gallical people
Speaker 1: of the urination. All Right, this episode I've been really
Speaker 1: excited for because this is actually my favorite genre of
Speaker 1: beauty ever.
Speaker 2: And it's about how to smell good.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's about personal hygiene and self care that isn't
Speaker 1: just like your regular.
Speaker 2: Typical makeup and skin care. This is about body care, yeah,
Speaker 2: which is so important.
Speaker 1: And it's also important to realize that you can't just
Speaker 1: spray some perfume on and just like leave the house.
Speaker 1: Like that's not going to make you, like leave smelling
Speaker 1: fresh and your best.
Speaker 2: You're also going to feel a bit gross.
Speaker 1: So this is how to have good hygiene and smell
Speaker 1: good just like from within as well exactly. And I
Speaker 1: think also this kind of creates a bigger scent bubble
Speaker 1: if you're a bit of a perfume freak like me,
Speaker 1: If you want to smell good, it does start with
Speaker 1: your entire body. Care routine, not just your finishing touch
Speaker 1: of your fragrance. So we're gonna kind of talk through
Speaker 1: our favorite body care products, what we like to do
Speaker 1: to leave the house feeling clean, smelling clean, and just
Speaker 1: you know, projecting. So you get really good compliments about
Speaker 1: how you smell. That's the best compliment to receive. It's
Speaker 1: my favorite compliment in general. I feel like I love
Speaker 1: talking about this topic with you because she gets so fixated.
Speaker 2: And like so passionate about smelling good.
Speaker 1: Like we go into the I don't know, David Jones
Speaker 1: and Myers and Jamie will spend like hours going through
Speaker 1: the perfume section explaining to me every single perfume. Oh,
Speaker 1: this one's supposed to be like THEE and like I
Speaker 1: like read it and like, ooh, this is not as
Speaker 1: good as I thought.
Speaker 2: Or I love just notes and chords.
Speaker 1: And I think that I've said this before, but I
Speaker 1: think that smell creates a whole different vibe and kind
Speaker 1: of your like it enhances your aura when you meet someone,
Speaker 1: When you meet someone and you smell them, what do
Speaker 1: you think I mean this is a nat smell?
Speaker 2: Well no, I mean I just feel like it.
Speaker 1: Creates such a big first impressions like how you smell?
Speaker 2: Why? What?
Speaker 1: Okay, I walk in the room and I smell like amazing,
Speaker 1: what's your first thought? Well, firstly, scent and memory are
Speaker 1: so locked together. They're so linked together. So if you
Speaker 1: smell like a sugar cookie and I have positive memories
Speaker 1: where it's like baking or something, it kind of like
Speaker 1: links those neurons together and fires off in your brain.
Speaker 1: It's actually funny because we have the lush spray we
Speaker 1: talk about all the time. Every time we get into
Speaker 1: your car, it smells like that lush spray. Really, and
Speaker 1: when me and Luke drive your car every time we
Speaker 1: go in, he's like, this car reminds me of summer
Speaker 1: because I always wear that perfume in summer.
Speaker 2: That's really cute. It reminds me of the beach. And
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, that's it's sweet. So it does. It's
Speaker 2: nice how they link that. That's so lovely.
Speaker 1: And I think also when you meet someone and they
Speaker 1: don't smell good, you probably think, ooh, like this person
Speaker 1: doesn't take care of themselves the best. So we're gonna
Speaker 1: fix that for you. Don't worry, we got you. You're
Speaker 1: gonna smell great.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 1: Well, first obviously starts in the shower, and whenever you're
Speaker 1: using to scrub your body, that it's going to be
Speaker 1: the most important thing.
Speaker 2: And what's your favor ja.
Speaker 1: Okay, I've loved this particular body wash since I was
Speaker 1: a child. Again, it's one of the child Yeah, it
Speaker 1: reminds me of my childhood, and it has such a
Speaker 1: soothing smell. Not only that it really just does clean
Speaker 1: your body well, but it also starts with what you're
Speaker 1: using to clean your body. So you cannot just be
Speaker 1: using a really old like rag. You need to have,
Speaker 1: you know, an exfoliating mitt a. I even like using
Speaker 1: a handtowel.
Speaker 2: And then like a.
Speaker 1: Loafer, a loafer, don't bring your left the shower, don't
Speaker 1: clean your body with.
Speaker 2: The shoe, a stinky shoe.
Speaker 1: Like one of those leather loafers, yug, Oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: loofer I kind.
Speaker 2: Of hate loafers as well. How do you spell loof?
Speaker 2: A loofer?
Speaker 1: I meant a loofer.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a loofer, right, that's what it's called. Good gracious?
Speaker 1: Yeah, or a sponge h great, you call them a sponge.
Speaker 1: The technical name is a loofer.
Speaker 2: Great.
Speaker 1: Okay, so you're gonna have some sort of meat. You're
Speaker 1: gonna have a you know, a good towel, you're gonna.
Speaker 2: Have your loofer.
Speaker 1: And our favorite body wash is the Palm Olive Natural's
Speaker 1: body Wash, the milk and honeycent. Oh, it is just
Speaker 1: such a beautiful neutral smell, Like it is a little
Speaker 1: bit sweet, but it's not the type of sweet that's
Speaker 1: gonna give you a headache. Just you feel really clean
Speaker 1: afterwards as well, and it glides on it like.
Speaker 2: Soaps up really nice. So the experience is good. Yeah,
Speaker 2: the product's cheap.
Speaker 1: It's a you can get like the full liter bottle, yeah,
Speaker 1: for thirteen dollars eighty or like even ten dollars at
Speaker 1: chemist Warehouse when it's on sale.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we literally just run out of this. But the
Speaker 2: one leader bottle is amazing.
Speaker 1: It's you know, it's sturdy, she's there, she's in a
Speaker 1: shower a long time. Yeah, lasts a long time. And
Speaker 1: I think it's great bang for your buck because a lot. Look,
Speaker 1: the thing is, you can get a luxury soap, you
Speaker 1: can get a luxury body wash, but it does wash
Speaker 1: off your body.
Speaker 2: It's not worth it. It's not really that worth it.
Speaker 1: And I find that a lot of the times, they
Speaker 1: don't give me the same kind of feeling of being
Speaker 1: clean as this particular body wash does. I just think
Speaker 1: it's a really really great option. And you want to
Speaker 1: spend your money on more expensive things, they're going to
Speaker 1: be you know, you're finishing touch perfume, not really your
Speaker 1: body wash. Yeah, you know those soaps that leave you
Speaker 1: feeling dry and rubbery, I hate those types of This
Speaker 1: one's like soothing and you feel smooth a little bit
Speaker 1: moisturized afterwards as well, like in the best way. And
Speaker 1: even you can obviously use this on an exfoliating mit
Speaker 1: if you don't want to double up and buy a
Speaker 1: body exfoliant. Yeah, I find that for us body exfoliants
Speaker 1: can be a little bit harsh on our skin. Stuff
Speaker 1: that they can be a little bit harsh in our skin,
Speaker 1: and we're not people who fake ten or anything, so
Speaker 1: we have a little bit less use for exfoliating.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like the.
Speaker 1: Ones with the beads and stuff, I'll probably not use like,
Speaker 1: I'll go the other way because it can be irritating
Speaker 1: and cause little like red bombs. So I my skin
Speaker 1: gets really easily agitated and rashy. So yeah, this product's
Speaker 1: really cooling and calming, so I don't have any effects
Speaker 1: from that. Altogether, just a great product for the shower
Speaker 1: for body wash. It's so standard's so easy and simple.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 1: And now the second product is also for the shower,
Speaker 1: and this one is great for shaving.
Speaker 2: Oh sod.
Speaker 1: The double purpose is that you will smell like no other.
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, I remember when you got sent this product.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we both, I think, just use it in the shower,
Speaker 1: not knowing what it was going to be, like yeah,
Speaker 1: and we're like wow, and it's the Locotan Almond shower oil.
Speaker 1: It is more like a bit boogie. It's forty two
Speaker 1: dollars from Adore Beauty. But wow, can you explain? Let
Speaker 1: me explain a little bit. Okay, by the way, I
Speaker 1: don't know if we're saying it right. If it's a
Speaker 1: locurtain or lo Cetain. It's a little bit of you know,
Speaker 1: one of those fancy names.
Speaker 2: But everyone's seen.
Speaker 1: The store and I feel like it seems like it's
Speaker 1: a bit more of a bougie store for middle aged women.
Speaker 1: But girls, you have to hop on this product, or
Speaker 1: even guys you like to shave. This is my favorite
Speaker 1: thing to use in the shower. Yeah, so basically what
Speaker 1: it is. It starts off as an oil that you
Speaker 1: pump onto your hands or onto your legs. Once you
Speaker 1: start to spread it out, you don't want your skin
Speaker 1: to be soaking wet, you want it to be damp.
Speaker 1: So once you start to kind of massage the oil
Speaker 1: onto your legs, it creates like a thick foamy it's
Speaker 1: not phoamy.
Speaker 2: But more of a cream.
Speaker 1: It turns white exactly, becomes like a creamy lag, a
Speaker 1: thick white cream that kind of coats your leg in
Speaker 1: the most glorious way. And then when you start shaving,
Speaker 1: it just glides so easily. It is the best thing
Speaker 1: to use while you're shaving your legs and you won't
Speaker 1: get any cuts this product because it glides so easily.
Speaker 1: It's really protecting the layer whilst allowing it.
Speaker 2: To remove the hair.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just such an amazing product. And so they've
Speaker 1: got a few different sens but our favorite one is
Speaker 1: the almond one.
Speaker 2: It smells so good.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say it's again overly sweet and sugary, but
Speaker 1: it's got this kind of freshness and a little bit
Speaker 1: of a nuttiness to it that you know, it's going
Speaker 1: to be moisturizing your body at the same time as
Speaker 1: being an amazing product to help you shave for the smoothest,
Speaker 1: cleanest finish. Your legs just feel like I've never had
Speaker 1: the smoothest legs, but when I use this product, it's like,
Speaker 1: you know what you get in bed after you've shaved
Speaker 1: your legs. You got fresh sheets, you got freshly shaved legs,
Speaker 1: and you just feel like our little like dolphins.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're like squeaking. That's one of my favorite feelings ever.
Speaker 1: So this product is so great for that, and it
Speaker 1: just smells phenomena. So as you can see, we're layering
Speaker 1: those things up. We've got the milk and honey body wash,
Speaker 1: and then we're using the arm and shower oil. These
Speaker 1: things together start to create that scent bubble and not
Speaker 1: only that, you feel clean and you're snatched with a
Speaker 1: good shave. Then outside of the shower, the next step
Speaker 1: in the layering.
Speaker 2: The first thing I like to do after the showers,
Speaker 2: but some deodor and not always like immediately immediately.
Speaker 1: Yeah, right, me and Jamie, we're not like pretty princesses
Speaker 1: who don't sweat.
Speaker 2: We got our dad's Jean.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Lemonese massou gene we call it where we're
Speaker 1: just like we're really hot and warm all the time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we run warm.
Speaker 1: And also not only that, if I get a little
Speaker 1: bit stressed, if the heart rate goes up a little bit,
Speaker 1: I start to sweat.
Speaker 2: Even if it's.
Speaker 1: Freeze, it's cold exactly, so you know, we body response. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we like to combat that.
Speaker 2: And this is actually new for us.
Speaker 1: But I have immediately fallen fallen in love with this product.
Speaker 1: And it's actually by Gem. And Gem started off as
Speaker 1: more of a yeah, more of like toothcare, and now
Speaker 1: they're kind of branching more into body care. But it's
Speaker 1: their Gem deodorant antipersperant. It's only ten dollars and they've
Speaker 1: got the best cents ever. It comes in four or
Speaker 1: five different I've written them down because they are all
Speaker 1: really really nice. And I know not everyone wants to
Speaker 1: smell like vanilla caramel cookie, but some people like to
Speaker 1: smell like beautiful butterflies. Yeah, but I don't know, like flowers, yeah,
Speaker 1: fresh flowers.
Speaker 2: They love fresh flowers. I don't eve butterflies have a smell.
Speaker 1: But they give us flowers like in condunction in my mind,
Speaker 1: what is wrong with us loafers and butterflies today?
Speaker 2: But the one we love is coconut and vanilla.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Then they've also got one called santo which is more fresh. Well,
Speaker 2: I would say Santala.
Speaker 1: It's like it's got kind of like a slightly boody
Speaker 1: undertone with a freshness on top.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: And then they've got cool fresh just like classic deodorant,
Speaker 1: and then the vanilla and macadamia one, which is also
Speaker 1: a little bit nutty. I love the coconut and vanilla one.
Speaker 1: I sprayed this deodorant yesterday and Jesse said, oh, my gosh,
Speaker 1: what is that amazing smell? Like, is that your new perfume? Like,
Speaker 1: it's my deodorant.
Speaker 2: It smells so so good.
Speaker 1: And not only that, I've actually noticed I've been using
Speaker 1: it constantly for the last five days. I actually have
Speaker 1: not smelt bad under the arms at all. I even
Speaker 1: get into the shower and I feel like I still
Speaker 1: smell great, Like I still smell really really good. So
Speaker 1: it's just a really great all round product. And the
Speaker 1: packaging so cute. Well, I was like really wanting to
Speaker 1: recommend to the high school girl. Yeah, yeah, it's like
Speaker 1: this in your bag.
Speaker 2: Is cute exactly.
Speaker 1: It's kind of like, what's that old brand that we
Speaker 1: used to love, Impulse? Impulse. Actually, I think you're too
Speaker 1: young for this. Back in the day in high school, Impulse.
Speaker 2: Was the one.
Speaker 1: It was like these little body spray. Yeah, these little
Speaker 1: body sprays are like all the girls used to have,
Speaker 1: and we all used to have, like the cutest little
Speaker 1: packaging and smells for it, but it did nothing to
Speaker 1: actually keep you clean at all. This is kind of
Speaker 1: like a good, kind of grown up version of that.
Speaker 1: But you youngies can use it too.
Speaker 2: It's so good. I just love the smell.
Speaker 1: It does its purpose. It keeps you clean, it keeps
Speaker 1: you not sweating at all. So great little option for
Speaker 1: you guys. Okay, last little touch. We've talked about a
Speaker 1: body miss that we're obsessed with in the previous episode,
Speaker 1: so we are going to talk about something that people
Speaker 1: always forget. This is a hair and body missed. Sometimes,
Speaker 1: like if you're not washing your hair daily, which a
Speaker 1: lot of us don't because it's not good, your hair
Speaker 1: can start to smell a little oily or just like
Speaker 1: smell like hair, yeah, you know, yeah, less like your
Speaker 1: condition and shampoo that you have previously used exactly. So
Speaker 1: I have been really loving hair perfumes lately and they're
Speaker 1: not really talked about enough because they are such a
Speaker 1: great way to refreshen your hair and just give you
Speaker 1: that elevated scent bubble as well. And we received one
Speaker 1: in pr recently that I've been loving.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I love this produc so much as well.
Speaker 1: It's the way Saint Bart's hair and body miss. It's
Speaker 1: also forty three dollars from Saphora. But this one really
Speaker 1: reminds me, like, as we're talking about how it links
Speaker 1: with nostalgia, a very specific lolly from when I was
Speaker 1: a kid. Oh yeah, no, but it's it's not It's
Speaker 1: not like a super sweet lolly.
Speaker 2: It was one of like those more calm lollies. Fruity
Speaker 2: it was so yummy yeah or fruity. Yeah.
Speaker 1: It's a great scent. It kind of reminds me of
Speaker 1: just summer good vibes, like fresh hair, fresh skin. It's
Speaker 1: it's beautiful. It's an easy scent and all you got
Speaker 1: to do is just literally just sprayed around.
Speaker 2: Jaste it over.
Speaker 1: You're super simple, and then that's gonna like finish off
Speaker 1: your kind of vibe in terms of finishing off your
Speaker 1: scent profile and.
Speaker 2: Then you've got all your bases covered.
Speaker 1: Yeah, armpits, yeah, yeah, body exactly, it's already. And then
Speaker 1: before you leave the house, spirits of perfume, and you
Speaker 1: don't need to use too much perfume because you're ready
Speaker 1: smelling great.
Speaker 2: Perfume lasts longer. Yeah, you're saving your money. It's great. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I love body care.
Speaker 1: I'm so passionate about this topic because all of these
Speaker 1: these things are actually my favorite things to do in
Speaker 1: terms of beautiful myself. I just think it's like the
Speaker 1: height of self care in terms of beauty because you
Speaker 1: feel great, well.
Speaker 2: I can't wait for you to come out with your
Speaker 2: own sense one day. Oh, it's one of my.
Speaker 1: Got Like, that's one of my dreams is having my
Speaker 1: own perfume range. Yeah, you know maybe maybe one day. Guys.
Speaker 2: Okay, let's hop.
Speaker 1: Into some makeup removing.
Speaker 2: We kind of have two products.
Speaker 1: That we're obsessed with, but particularly cleansing can be such
Speaker 1: a scary thing to like delve into because there's so
Speaker 1: many cleanses on the market, so we only really use
Speaker 1: two and Jesse only really uses one.
Speaker 2: But these are great, great, great products to help you get.
Speaker 1: Rid of any makeup that's left on your face and
Speaker 1: just in general have nice clean skin. The one cleanser
Speaker 1: that I use is actually just the Gannia and Mycella
Speaker 1: cleansing water.
Speaker 2: If we've spoken about this before.
Speaker 1: We can get it for around eight dollars fifty at Woolies,
Speaker 1: but they do sell it at a bunch of different stores. Yeah, Chemist,
Speaker 1: Square House, price Line, even Big w You'll find it anywhere.
Speaker 1: And the reason I only use this one product is
Speaker 1: because one it gets sort of all your makeup so easily,
Speaker 1: Like this is the number one product we recommend for
Speaker 1: taking off makeup, even harsh I makeup, Yeah, and then
Speaker 1: I feel like my skin's left feeling super clean afterwards
Speaker 1: as well. I'll just wash it down with water, and
Speaker 1: it's the only thing that doesn't make me break out
Speaker 1: with acne. It's super great for sensitive skin. So then
Speaker 1: after i use the Gunny and my Cellar cleansing water,
Speaker 1: I'll wash my face down with some water and then
Speaker 1: I'll just put on my usual nighttime face cream and
Speaker 1: I use the Larche Poise.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's it.
Speaker 1: I go to bed. It's perfect, feel so clean. It's
Speaker 1: such a great product and it's just a staple. It
Speaker 1: gets rid of harsh makeup. If you wear full face,
Speaker 1: you get right in the crevices and it's simple. It's
Speaker 1: not going to be dramatic and make your skin flare
Speaker 1: up or have any active ingredients, which is great if
Speaker 1: you have a young red skin.
Speaker 2: I can also young skin.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I use that product every day as well, but
Speaker 1: I like a cleanser as well. I feel like when
Speaker 1: I use this particular cleanser, my face is so clean
Speaker 1: and is so just free of any blemishes, acne, black heads,
Speaker 1: anything like that. So it's the Fresh Soy Face Cleanser
Speaker 1: fifty nine dollars from Sephora. So it is a little
Speaker 1: bit more expensive, but if you've got the money and
Speaker 1: you're looking for something that's great for sensitive skin and
Speaker 1: just like an all rounder good product, this is really
Speaker 1: really highly recommended. What I like to do is I'll
Speaker 1: actually use this in the shower. I know a lot
Speaker 1: of people don't like using shower water to wash their face,
Speaker 1: but you don't have to. You can also use it
Speaker 1: in the sink. But I'll take all my makeup off
Speaker 1: with this, and I really just gently well I try
Speaker 1: and be gentle, but I can.
Speaker 2: Be a little bit harsh.
Speaker 1: Sometimes I try to gently just cleanse this off with
Speaker 1: my fingers in the shower and it just washes right off.
Speaker 1: I also try and focus a little bit more around
Speaker 1: the nose to kind of break up any of that,
Speaker 1: like seeb them build up, and that's what, over time
Speaker 1: is going to get rid of, you know, black heads
Speaker 1: or any blemishes around the nose. Some people think a
Speaker 1: nose strip is like, you know, a quick fix. If
Speaker 1: you actually want to get rid of it over time,
Speaker 1: you have to cleanse your nose area. You consistent, Yeah,
Speaker 1: and you actually need to cleanse it for a few
Speaker 1: more minutes and you think, oh okay, Yeah, so the
Speaker 1: more you rub it into your nose, the more that
Speaker 1: those you know, bleomishes are gonna lead. So I love
Speaker 1: Fresh as a skincare brand in general because the ingredients
Speaker 1: they use are amazing. They're non stripping, they're really calming
Speaker 1: and cooling. Yeah, you're such a beautiful brand. Oh it's
Speaker 1: such a gorgeous brand and everything looks really really pretty.
Speaker 1: But this is a great product. So I'll use this
Speaker 1: before in the shower to get rid of the bulk
Speaker 1: of my makeup, and then I'll use the Mycella cleansing
Speaker 1: water after just to get rid of anything that's kind
Speaker 1: of left in the crevices. And double cleansing is actually
Speaker 1: kind of the best thing for your skin if you've got,
Speaker 1: you know, good skin that's not as sensitive as.
Speaker 2: Sages, especially if you have a lot of makeup.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so that kind of double cleansing technique is going
Speaker 1: to give you their best result. And these two products
Speaker 1: together are really simple. They work for a whole bunch
Speaker 1: of skin types as well, and they're really just going
Speaker 1: to help you feel good and ready for the day
Speaker 1: all the time. When you feel clean, you feel good. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you could like do all these things and not wear
Speaker 1: one bit of makeup and still feel really really good.
Speaker 1: So you feel done, You've done your whole routine, and
Speaker 1: you feel like more confident to just step out without
Speaker 1: makeup on. And I love that feeling me too. Okay, great,
Speaker 1: that's such a fun episode. You can tell I'm very
