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