So funny story about Nivea cream, my nanna swore by it and used it all her life! She never looked her age!! When she passed we were asked if there was anything we wanted to place in her coffin, so we gave her a pot of Nivea and some Trebor extra strong mints as they were the two things she always had!
Omg !! My grand grandma was the same .. damn.. she only used Nivea .. ( probably as we are German and it’s already around 100 years ago ) but she looked amazing.. I m changing my skin routine now ..
This made me smile. My Grandma also swore by Nivea face cream, she had amazing skin when she passed away at 91 years old...so much so that the funeral director asked what face cream she used!!! Well done Nivea! Expensive isn't always the best!
soph i just wanted to say thank you so much for not using heavy filters and showing your real skin. i’ve had a hard time with body dysmorphia recently and my skin just really gets me down. but seeing people like you show your real skin without blurring filters really does make me feel so much better. i was depressed that my skin didn’t look like famous people/influencers perfect smooth glass skin but i’m starting to finally get it into my head that everybody has textured skin/blemishes and it is completely normal. you’re beautiful soph!! ❤️❤️❤️
I’m so sorry you’re struggling with body dysmorphia ❤️ I’m glad it’s helpful, remember that skin texture, wrinkles, blemishes etc are so NORMAL!!! lot’s of influencers will show themselves at their best and use good lighting (myself included, on instagram especially, good lighting can conceal a lot!!), or use filters, or might even have work done to their face, so try not to compare as most of the time it’s not reality 🙏🏼 but I do try and show the reality as well as more polished posed photos, but I never use blurring filters in my youtube videos so you can see my real skin! thank you for your comment, sending you loads of love xx
Look fantastic often do posts where they show real skin textures of celebrities and its crazyy! Skin texture, scarring, peach fuzz, spots, acne etc is so normal and all imperfections are beautiful and make us unique!xx
I have body dysmorphia too. Watching Soph is kinda therapeutic cus you don't think "oh wow her features are so perfect, no spots, no dark cicrles, why can't I look like that?" And watching Soph you forget about that. I have combination/oily skin so it's hard to find products for my skin. All influencers just talk about makeup products or skincare who are extremely hydrating and thick. That would make my skin oil in like an hour. Soph shows a lot of products that are good for oily skin and she shows how they really work, for how much they last and that's a really good thing. That's what people need to see
@@nikkijones7946 yeah I use Niacinamide too. Ordinary one or the revolution one. Both the same thing and cost about the same. Vitamin C is really good too, I use it during the night too cus it's not really good to use vitamin C on the skin during the day time. I'm using revolution foundation for oily skin. Like the coverage and the matt effect
My Mum is 66 and has worn Nivea as her moisturiser everyday for literally decades and she has the most beautiful skin, literally looks like she’s in her early 50s x
It seems like what makes the two creams similar is that they both have mineral oil and petrolatum as main ingredients. Otherwise, the Nivea has a really short ingredients list while the La Mer has a heftier list of ingredients, although in no way enough to justify the insane price. Petrolatum is just Vaseline (petroleum jelly) that’s why it may be a good primer for some because it creates a smooth surface for the makeup. Another cream with petroleum that I love and it is super affordable is the Cerave Moisturizing CREAM (it has to be the cream and not the lotion version, they look exactly the same). Also, the Cerave cream has no fragrance while Nivea and La Mer do.
Woah, thank you for the tip! 🤍 I already have the CeraVe cream bc I use it at night, but have never used it as a primer. I will try to, I can’t use Nivea bc of the fragrance
I just discovered you randomly and can I just say it's so nice to see someone's actual skin without filters! I am going to try the Revolution foundation after watching this.
The La Mer is formulated with specific fermented algae that ferments differently depending on light and noise. He tried to mimic the natural sounds they would had in nature. Sounds wacky but he was a physicist and applied that work to his development. It’s got science behind it. Beer brewers often recreate certain lighting and sounds for beer fermenting too.
Also a popular dupe for the Pillowtalk lip liner is the nyx peekaboo neutral one. Allie Glines did that in a dupe vid and they're almost indistinguishable. I love the nyx liner too
Bought this Nivea creme after seeing the video... used it once... It's like magic I just woke up today with the most hydrated glowy even skin I've had in years!! It's amazing thanks Soph❤️
I love your consistency on TH-cam! Your makeup skills just seem to keep improving with every video! Thanks for being so honest and truly showing where’s best to spend your money, I will always trust your recommendations ❤️
Yes I love a good dupe video. I like seeing what ppl consider dupes & discover ones that I haven’t seen yet. I’ve been curious about the IRL foundation, I’ve heard mixed reviews but it looks pretty on you so maybe it’ll work for me haha. If Soph likes it then it’s gotta be good. 💗💗
I don't know a single dermatologist that says Lamer is worth the money. I'm sure it's a great product but I could never justify that price tag! The price of some luxury products is absurd!
I love these kinds of videos! It's so nice to see a youtuber who knows it's not a necessity to spend an absolute fortune on beauty products. Also, your skin looks absolutely flawless at the minute ❤️
I love a dupe video! I use a lot of cheaper makeup for day to day at work and more high end for nights out! P.s I'd love a video where you try out proper OG makeup, like the first glow kits from ABH, old school mascaras, foundations etc that everyone went wild for and to see how they compare now💛
I have been living for these videos recently, I just got back into make up after taking a break from it during the pandemic. But I have spent the last month re-watching all of your make up videos, even from years ago 💕xx
I'd love more lipstick and lip liner colour dupes! Its so difficult to find those unique colours when the drugstore have so many! Also would love some SPF dupes!
I just saw the La Mer cream in Sephora like two weeks ago. I was in there today, and no one has even touched the boxes!! It's sooooooo expensive and there are so many others that work just fine! I have Makeup Revolution's concealer wand in Caramel, but I still NEED the Charlotte Tilbury one!! Lol. Great video, Soph!! 💚💗
So glad to see someone else talking about the revlon colorstay lipliners! They rival high end in texture and longevity, I just ordered more colours last night lol
I started binging your videos a few days back after never watching one before, and now here I am after like 10 mins after you’ve uploaded 🤣 Your revolution eyeshadow palette was the first I ever brought so no idea why I’d never watched before 🤷🏻♀️ but loving your videos ❤️
I love Nivea, and to me there’s not much difference in Nivea and higher end moisturizers. I also love Lash Princess mascara (I use the green) BUT it definitely does clump and smudge way more than some others I’ve tried. The Covergirl mascara in the orange tube works really good for me. I didn’t intentionally use it as a dupe, I started using it a while back because of the cheaper price and ended up being completely surprised by how much I like it. I honestly couldn’t tell a difference on the side you used the dupes on versus the other side. Maybe slight differences if I want to nitpick, but I don’t think anyone would know it wasn’t the same makeup all over.
Girl I just got the nars foundation you love and it’s fucking amazing. Like wedding day foundation hands down! Thank you for the recommendation!! Helped me with a shade match too! 🥰🥰
Loved this! I recently bought the Mario topper and I love it, the Lottie one looks like such a good dupe! I recently got the Essence tubing mascara and it's really good - it's called no more panda eyes
I’ve actually been using the Nivea creme for a few months and so far it’s really changed my skin, I’ve found I have a lot less fine lines and it’s so soothing for my excema. I only use it overnight on my whole face, and as eyecream morning and night. I’m sooo glad to hear it’s super similar to la mer as it’s a lot cheaper 🤍
That’s so sweet of you to go to your parents house and cook for them, that’s so caring and kind, I love your character even more for that, your such a beautiful person all the way 🤍
@@kayleighmitchell4657 it would be perfect for someone with dry skin as it's more on the satin / dewy side rather than the matte side. It also has skincare properties including niacinamide x
@@uhoh5184 Yes i have one from Essence but its another additional step. Would be amazing to find one that performs like Rollalash and washes off in one step...the search continues!

It was Marilyn Monroe fav cream
@@sophdoeslife your introduction about the La Mer was so hilarious, I just had to keep watching!

Just starting my day here in Australia. Couldn't ask for a better way ❤️
Thank you Soph x

A lot of beauty TH-camrs do close ups, but yours are really showing the the truth and appreciate it so much.
Yayy thanks for this video Soph! These are so helpful! And you looked absolutely beautiful❤
Yassss my favorite type of video you do! I’ve been impatiently waiting 🧡
I have to say I'm so glad I found you. You have brought me back to make up. I have regained my interest in it. So thank you.

It’s so gorgeous isn’t it! and oooh thanks for the recommendation 😊

Love these videos so so much!!!Thank you
I’m loving these vids … Gorgeous girl.. the makeup just looks so fresh x

Love you, love Cass! 🔥
Always making the best content ❤️
LOVE the colour of your nails💅😍
This Nars foundation was my go-to, but the IRL smashes it out of the park! It lasts longer! Absolute must-buy foundation.
Would the IRL be good for someone with dry skin? I currently bounce between flower beauty and loreal infallible fresh wear
IRL?? Sorry 😫🙏🏼

Hiya Soph another great video,I really enjoyed watching this dupe videos are fantastic more please!!😁😁😁😁
Much love 🥰🥰
Those concealers are 😮 I need them 😍
Wow all those dupes were fantastic!
The blue mascara from essence is the actual best one - volume and it’s waterproof and doesn’t transfer (unlike the green!)
How is the removal? I am looking for a mascara to rival Rollalash and comes off easily? No time to be triple cleansing eye area everyday!
@@jenniferjen5422 It's really hard to remove even with oil imo. Have you ever heard of tubing mascaras? You might like them!
@@uhoh5184 Yes i have one from Essence but its another additional step. Would be amazing to find one that performs like Rollalash and washes off in one step...the search continues!
I love that purple essence mascara!!
much looking forward to watching this when I get off twitch later, and spending some money 🥰
soph your eyes are so pretty what the heck
Love these videos!
My poor Amazon cart! 🤭🙃
Thanks so much! I love love love your opinion and recommendations on products, especially the ones I'm interested in. 😊 💕
Love finding out new dupes ❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍
Perfect timing 🙌🏼 was just looking for a video!
Me too!!!!
Same!!

I love those kind of videos on your channel. Hope you're having wonderful evening ❤️
I was a bridesmaid recently and the mua put Nivea on before my make up. I had never thought to use before x
Love that you got closer to the camera, you can really see the skin ❤️
Oooh love love love this video!!! Definitely going to try the foundation!
Hope you’re doing okay!!! ❤️❤️
Excited to watch the video 💖💖
I love these type of videos. Could you do like a hair product type one like different dupes for styling tools and products 🥰
Loved this!! Thank you 👏🏼
I love nivea. It's so good when you have dry skin🙂👌
You are stuning soph
Love a good dupe! All about saving money 😁 🙌
