nicholas in his youtube era

ᥫ᭡

nicholas couldn't help but shake his head, a light smile growing on his face as his girlfriend pretended to kiss her camera lens.

"hi my loves," she started, sitting back down on her couch, "today im filming with my boyfriend nicholas."

nicholas shyly waved at the camera, his face graced with a grin. "i'm nick."

the girl sitting next to him smiled herself, bringing her hand up to softly rub the bottom of his chin. "and i'm letting him do my makeup."

he pretended to make a nervous face as he looked down at his girlfriend's coffee table. she had laid out every brush and every product that she owned (which was a lot) and it was kind of intimidating. the girl let out a small giggle, her brows furrowing slightly. "what?"

"you just got a lot of stuff goin' on here beba," he chuckled, picking up one of her beauty blenders and tossing it up in the air.

she caught it in her own hands before placing it back down on the table. "had to give you options," she turned to look at him with a dimply smile, "couldn't make it too easy for you."

nicholas rolled his eyes before reaching over to grab one of her black cloth headbands.

"you be wearing these in the morning," he chuckled, shifting his body to sit facing her. the girl nodded her head, allowing him to push her hair back with the headband, the tiniest baby hairs poking out onto her forehead. he'd watched her get ready one too many times, almost knowing her little routine by heart. he covered her face in her facial moisturizer and serum, then coated her lips with the medicated lip balm she used every morning and night.

he pulled his face back to look at her. her skin was so glassy and her plush lips were glossy. leaning forward he muttered, "pretty girl," before planting a soft baby kiss on her lips, not wanting to mess up any product.

rubbing her lips together as he pulled away, the girl looked up at him. "so what're you gonna do next?" she asked softly.

nicholas blew a puff of air out from his lips, looking at the products laid out on the table as he thought for a second.

"normally you use this one," he said, picking up a half empty bottle of estée lauder foundation. "right?" his girlfriend stood silent, knowing she wasn't supposed to give him any inclinations. instead, she just shrugged her shoulders slightly, making nicholas roll his eyes once again.

he leaned down to pick up a brush, one that was not for foundation at all. his girl cringed as he dumped the product onto her fluffiest powder brush, and he stopped abruptly. "whaattt?"

she scrunched her face up, "i can't say anythinggg."

nick chuckled boyishly, sighing while swiping the brush down her soft cheeks and across her nose, "you're killing me."

he continued onto a messy attempt at contouring before moving on to pick up her bronzer.

"you always say this is your favorite part so i gotta do it justice," he half smirked, scooting up to get closer to his girlfriend. almost comically, he brushed on the bronzer onto her forehead and cheeks with a slow, feather-like pressure.

"you don't gotta be careful baby," the girl said, "it's not gonna show if you barely press down."

"just don't wanna hurt you," he muttered jokingly, finishing up his application.

he poked her nose with a blush brush, leaving the tip of it a light shade of baby pink, and proceeded to spread blush across the apples of her cheeks. he thought she looked cute like that.

"pick one," he told her in a gentle tone, a small smile creeping onto his face. he motioned his head toward her collection of lip glosses, lip sticks, lip liners, and lip oils. reaching down, she grabbed hold of a soft pink lip gloss that was coconut scented.

"you like this one," she handed the gloss over to him.

nicholas gently grabbed hold of her chin, holding her steady as he applied it onto her. his gaze lingered low as his eyes focused on her lips. how plump her bottom lip pouted out. how soft they looked. how pretty they looked now that they were all shiny.

noticing this, she puckered her lips out a little, silently asking him for a kiss.

he obliged of course, planting a baby kiss onto her lips to not mess up her makeup.

"i did good?" he asked her in a quiet tone, again gripping her face softly. he guided her face with his hand, moving it around to look at it from all different types of angles to mess with her.

she nodded, a small laugh leaving her mouth. "yeah, i love it."

reviewing my lip products 🪽

since the year is coming to an end, i wanted to review all of my lippies that i’ve used this year, and evaluate if i’ll repurchase some of them next year, or if i’ll leave some of these behind in 2024 ৻ꪆ

nyx fat oil lip drip

definitely one of my favourite products of the year! it has a very nice formula and moisturises my lips very nicely! i recommended this to many people already/gifted this lip oil, and everyone only has good things to say about it. i also really like the applicator, because it just feels very satisfying to me. 🌝 you do have to reapply this every few hours, but it’s still a very good lip oil imo, and it also gets bonus points for the affordable price. 9.5/10

essence extreme shine volume lipgloss

it’s a pretty good lipgloss. for me personally, this is what got me into makeup, so i would definitely recommend this if you’re just starting out! it’s also very affordable and the shades are pretty too. but, it’s really sticky. 😭 one blow of the wind and that lipgloss will be holding your hair strands hostage. 7/10

nyx slick click

imo it's a pretty solid glossy lip balm. the packaging is very compact, but since the packaging has a click-pen design, it gets really difficult to get some of the lip balm out, when the tube is almost empty. other than that, it's pretty good. it moisturises your lips well, and since this product is a lip balm, it's not too sticky either. it lasts for a few hours, but if you eat/drink anything, you'd definitely have to reapply it. but since the package only contains 2g, and costs 10 euros i probably wouldn't repurchase this. 5.8/10.

maybelline color sensational lipstick

i think this is a good everyday lipstick! it has a pretty lightweight and creamy formula, which i really liked, and it stays on for about four hours. the lipstick has a good amount of pigment, and all around, it's pretty solid. if this ran out, i'd probably repurchase it, since it's a nice staple to have in my makeup bag. 💖 6.8/10.

kiko velvet passion matte lipstick

this lipstick is a little similar to the previous one, since they both have lightweight formulas. but, while the maybelline one has a little bit of a glossy effect, this one is completely matte. as for the formula/texture, i really liked the texture of this lipstick! it feels very soft and velvety, and it's really satisfying to apply it imo. my only issue with this lipstick is that it really emphasized the texture of my lips by the four hour mark, and sometimes it also dried my lips out a little. other than that, it's nice, and i think i'd repurchase it! 7/10

essence what a tint!

it's a pretty good tint. i saw a couple of people saying about how it was better than benetint, but i can't really give you my opinion on that, since i'm too broke for benetint! 💖 as for the color, it was wayyy to pink for me. 😭 like it was HOT pink. neon marker pink. idk, i think that color def suits some people, but it most definitely is NOT my color!! but on a positive note, it is strong. it will not move once you put it on. i put a little bit of it on my hand to test it out again, and it didn't move AT ALL for around three to four days. in conclusion, it's a good product, just not for me! 5/10.

nyx butter gloss

I LITERALLY LVOE THIS PRODUCT SO MCUH!!!!!!!!!!! it is truly one of my favorite lip glosses of all time and i do NOT care that i bought it not too long ago. the shades are really pretty, and there's a large variety of shades too (32 to be exact). also, the texture is very good, imo. the lip gloss just feels so smooth, and it isn't really sticky either, unlike some other glosses. i also really liked the fragrance, which is surprising, since i usually don't like how lip glosses smell. the only cons i can think of is that it needs to be reapplied often, especially after eating. other than that, the nyx butter gloss is literally so amazing, especially for the affordable price. i would literally buy a bazillion of these if i could. 10/10.

What Lip Stick They Buy You 💄💋

Bucci Gang x Reader Headcanons

Narancia Ghirga

He picks out cutesy ones for you because he thinks the gloss will look nice.

He saw it online, The Crème Shop x Hello Kitty Kawaii Kiss Moisturizing Lip Oil - Vanilla Mint Flavored. He didn't care about the flavor. He cared more about the appearance and color

He would choose various cutsey lip glosses and the kind that are flavored hence why he got you dippin dots lip balms or Jolly Ranchers but expect different flavors he thought would taste best

His favorite would be fruit flavored glosses on you. Various would be given to you but he'd get a better brand

"Oh tesoro/tesorina! You're wearing the lip gloss I bought you!"

"Please can I have a kiss? You look so sexy/beautiful and kissable!"

"Only one kiss? You're wearing the tangerine lipgloss!"

"No fair! I wanted to try it from your lips."

Fugo Pannacotta

He loves the pink strawberry lip products on you! They make you look ever so kissable and he can't resist your lips

He buys you “Strawberry Kisses lip scrub” from Fourth Ray Beauty

Glosses are a must too he wants to pick the cutest ones for you

Yes all of them would be strawberry flavored or themed

He'd pick out pink strawberry themed lip sticks as well

He's so happy seeing you put them to use. He'll smile so much

Politely asking for kisses like the shy gentlemen he is

He would also get you a balm too if requested or if he see's a good one

He'll bite his lip hoping he could kiss you. The sweetie wants all your kisses when he see's you put it to use. He can't help it

He's shy about PDA so he'll ask you privately

"Mio prezioso/preziosa, I need to kiss you.."

"You're so cute. I smell strawberry. You used the lipstick I got you. It looks great on you, as expected."

"Bella/Bello please kiss me.."

"You're simply irresistibile."

Guido Mista

He's getting you lip products he think would make you more kissable. He can't wait to use a pick up line on you to earn a kiss

Mista buys you watermelon sugar lip gloss. It’s called, “this is juice gloss” by NYX

Much like Narancia he's getting you flavored lip products but I feel like he'd get the soda flavors. He'd totally get them to make some sort of cheesy pick up line. The fruity and coke flavors would be his go to but if you prefer other soda flavors he’d pick them out too.

Mista loves lipstick on his partner too. He thinks it looks so pretty attractive. He might buy you some in red since he thinks its sexy. He'd make sure its a good brand

If you don't like red lip he's fine with other colors but of course he'll like them natural too. He's still wanting your kisses constantly

Too bad he doesn't realize lipstick don't taste good but it's a sacrifice he's willing to make

He would like different colored lipglosses too. I can see him picking purples and pinks

He's going to be begging for kisses when you wear lip glosses since they draw so much attention

"Looking good handsome/gorgeous. Where's my kiss?"

"Is that red lipstick I see? Gimme kisses!"

"You look so sexy. I'm going to need some kisses. I hope I earned them."

Giorno Giovanna

Giorno likes pink lipsticks and he'd love seeing various shades on you too!

He buys you lipstick from Sephora for you. He likes their products because they carry good quality expensive brands.

The Rose lip scrub is his favorite on you

Hot pinks are also a favorite choice of his

He’d be sure to pick out a shade that would compliment your complexion

Dior would be another brand he would love to buy for you

Lip glosses would be the other type of lip wear he’d pick out for you. Pinks and purples. The glosses would look so cute on you

"Bello/Bella I'm happy to see you wear the lip gloss I've given you."

"Scusi but you're looking so divine today. I must kiss you, cara/caro."

"You're wearing the pink lipstick I bought you, aren't you stella (star)?"

"Carino/Carino are you only giving me one kiss?"

Bruno Bucciarati

He likes the red lipsticks for you! Any shade is fine with him.

He’d pick out a good brand like Dior or maybe Sephora

Other shades I can see him choosing would be browns or orange colors

Bright colors would compliment your eyes but he thinks brown shades look sexy too

He’d be delighted to see you wear the colors he bought you. Anything to make you happy

He isn’t opposed to other types of lip wear I feel like Bruno doesn’t know them too well

“I see you’re wearing the red lipstick I got you. You look very breathtaking~”

“I never get tired of your lip prints. They make my day, amore mio.”

“So beautiful.. I know I’ve already kissed your hand. Would you be opposed to a kiss?”

Leone Abbacchio

He’s the perfect one to pick out lipsticks for you. He knows makeup very well and enjoys picking them out for you too. Maybe he could do your makeup too if you like?

Of course he’d want to twin with you by getting you purple lipsticks. He’d get various shades so you can experiment with a color you’d enjoy most

He’d also like blacks and dark greens on you. Red is also a pleasing sight to see as well. Getting brands off of shelves while he’s shopping for himself but it’s most likely he’s shopping for you

He’d love to pick out lipsticks with coffin packaging

He’d get some Nightmare Before Christmas lipsticks as well. He enjoys their shades of lipsticks and would also enjoy the look of the design

He isn’t opposed to other colors. These would be his favorites he’d like to see on you.

He always has a smug look on his face at night when he sees your lip prints on him before washing it off his face or other body parts

If he had to pick his favorite it would be black. He secretly thinks it’s sexy

“The black lipstick really suits you.. better seat you on my lap before you run off.”

“Where’s my kiss, my dark empress/emperor?”

“Need to kiss you, my sexy vampire.”

"Getting lip prints on me whore?"

Gwen with a girlfriend who loves putting on makeup

Gwen Stacy x Fem!Reader

Tw: Nothing really, just pure cuteness.

(English is not my first language)

Gwen with a girlfriend who loves putting on makeup —------- This girl would be extremely impressed with the size of your dressing table and the amount of stuff you keep in it, from body products to facial products and perfumes of different types and aromas, but what catches her most attention is her impressive and very clean and organized makeup collection; they went from cheap and simple makeup, up to expensive and limited collections.

Gwen with a girlfriend who loves putting on makeup —------- She's scared if she dares to bump into your dressing table, she knows how much you care and care about your makeup and products, Gwen would hate to end up knocking it over and breaking/damaging it something.

Gwen with a girlfriend who loves putting on makeup —------- She loves watching you put on makeup and admires all the time and effort you put into it, she could spend hours watching you try a new makeup look.

Gwen with a girlfriend who loves putting on makeup —------- If you like artistic makeup she would simply be obsessed with it; likes to watch the makeup process and would probably laugh and take funny pictures of you with your face full painted.

Gwen with a girlfriend who loves putting on makeup —------- Overall she would love any type of makeup you like to do, it doesn't matter if it's her own style, one that's trending at the moment, something like Corpse Paint or even gyaru....she will simply continue to be your number one supporter.

Gwen with a girlfriend who loves to put on makeup —------- She's a total sucker when you have your lips coated in gloss, lipstick, lip oil or balm;

She would be obsessed with scented and flavored glosses, lip oils and balms, I think her favorite would be cherry and vanilla. She's the type who asks to try it and then when you hand her the product, she simply pulls you in and gives you a kiss on the lips.

"What it was? It's not my fault he seems to have a much better taste in his mouth" She would say with the most feigned innocent tone existing.

She loves kissing her lips painted with lipstick, especially if it's a dark color like red, wine, pink or brown. She doesn't care if she makes a mess on both of your faces, she will simply pull you in for a kiss, holding the back of your neck gently to keep it in place and tilting your head to deepen things; a kiss will go away turning into two, three, four and many others until she finally slowly walks away just to admire the work of art that is her completely silly and distraught, her cheeks flushed and her lipstick smudged, this sight bringing butterflies (pyterodactlos) to her stomach.

She would do anything to convince you to do all the possible Tik Tok trends with her that involve kisses and lipstick together, not that she really needs much effort to convince you, you'd probably be up for anything this girl suggested. That being said, you would do all the trends, all of them, I think her favorite would be the one where you mark your entire face from your kissing partner…but the two of you would probably get carried away with it, which would result in Gwen COMPLETELY marked with lipstick, from head to toe 😭😭 it takes you so long to wipe off all the lipstick afterwards and she probably still her skin was a bit reddish (George had so many questions for this girl)

Gwen with a girlfriend who loves doing makeup —---------- If you like filming and photographing your makeup, she would love to help you with that.

Gwen with a girlfriend who loves putting on makeup —------- I would be the proudest girlfriend in the world if you actively work with makeup on your social networks, I would celebrate every achievement with you, be it partnership proposals, advertising or reaching a new follower target (Gwendolyn is your number one fan and nothing will change my mind)

Gwen with a girlfriend who loves putting on makeup —------- I don't see Gwen as being the type who would really put on makeup, the most this girl can do is put on a little concealer and blush, maybe some mascara to complement it but nothing more than that. However, she wouldn't object if you asked to do her makeup, it doesn't matter if it's just for fun, to test a new technique or new product, Gwen would be happy to be your model. He would spend minutes looking at himself in the mirror after that and when you ask if everything is ok, or if she didn't like the makeup, Gwen would just say it's because she's feeling so pretty (😭😭😭I love her so much)

Gwen with a girlfriend who loves to do makeup —------- Gwen would freak out if you offered to do makeup for her and the other girls in the band for a performance, she's so happy.

Gwen with a girlfriend who loves to do makeup —------- Who would be happy to help you clean and organize your dressing table if you asked

Gwen with a girlfriend who loves to do makeup —------- She especially likes her makeup with cute packaging, like lipsticks with teddy bear packaging or palettes with kitten designs.

Gwen with a girlfriend who loves to do makeup —------- I truly believe that this girl is a total lol profile on her social networks, appearing every now and then to post a photo of landscape or music, but she always, ALWAYS, makes a point of repost all your makeup in stories.

Gwen with a girlfriend who loves to do makeup —------- She gives you makeup from time to time, it may not be the best or most expensive brand, but she always asks the store saleswoman and makes sure it is a good product, Above anything, it's a gift from the heart and she makes sure to pack it and everything 😩❤️‍🩹

SPACE CAMP REVIEW!!

(honest, in-depth)

Shipping took about a week and a half but it arrived in perfect condition and undamaged

-packaging is super cute! not super complicated/over the top, but also not overly simple. my order came with a valentines day postcard and a silver "space camp" logo sticker.

-right off the bat, i can tell these are definitely bigger than any other lip balm i have ever used. they also have a higher quality feel to them.

-i think the "pocket safe" turn wheel is super unique, not something i've ever heard of before! it definitely does help protect the lip balm from damage when not in use.

-the jumbo size tubes allow for more surface area coverage when applying to the lips, making application quicker and easier

-all lip balms apply super smoothly, and feel soft and moisturizing on the lips. there is no "waxy" feeling left behind on the lips as with other brands.

Wild Cherry

-smells exactly like a cherry lollipop i would have eaten when i was younger. its not sickly sweet or overpowering, but you can definitely tell what it is.

-the cherry taste is very mild. i can almost taste the beeswax/sunflower oil a bit more than the cherry, but by no means is the taste bad!

-other cherry flavored lip balms (chapstick, burts bees) tend to make me feel a little nauseous for some reason? but this flavoring did not give me that effect.

-overall really good, but i would've liked to be able to taste a little more of the cherry flavoring!

Frosted Mint

-smells exactly like mint ice cream, just as advertised. im not always a big mint person, especially if it is a stronger scent. this scent, however, is just enough without becoming overwhelming.

-the taste is also exactly like what mint ice cream tastes like. i really enjoyed this flavor, its not one that i see super often as a lip balm flavor so it was very interesting to try!

-it leaves a slight cooling feeling as well as a mild tingle on the lips, which is not my favorite. its nothing like if you were to use a lip plumping gloss or anything like that, but i know a lot of people could dislike this, especially if you tend to be sensitive to certain sensations.

-i think this is a really great flavor! i was happy to discover that it does really taste and smell exactly as it was promoted. once again, i would not recommend this flavor if you are sensitive to cool or tingly feelings on your lips.

Juicy Watermelon

-i am not exaggerating when i say that this smells HEAVENLY. i had a feeling going into this that it was going to be my favorite flavor, and it did not disappoint. if i could hold it under my nose and smell it all day, i would. its the perfect amount of sweetness, almost like candy. i wish i had better words to describe it, i feel like my explanation wouldn't give it justice.

-if you can imagine biting into the most perfect, red, juicy, sweet slice of watermelon, that's how this flavor tastes. i have tried other watermelon flavored lip balms in the past, and this one is by far my favorite.

-i honestly have no complaints about this flavor. literal perfection

Do I recommend?

currently, they are only available to purchase all three as the Launch Pack, set at $36 + shipping (USD). my shipping was only $6, which is significantly lower than some of the other shipping costs i have seen. so in total, i paid $42 for the three lip balms (about $12 per tube).

taking into account that they are USDA organic and significantly larger than most retail lip balms, i do still feel like the price is a little steep. if there was an option to purchase individually, i feel like this would help that issue. to be fair, Nick did say this option will be available in the future.

if you are willing to pay for it, i would say its worth it. the quality of the lip balms definitely reflects the price, so its not like you are paying for low quality product. however, if you are somebody who does not want to pay at least $36, or if you already know you wouldn't enjoy one or more of the flavors, you are better off passing on this, or waiting for a future launch with different flavors and the ability to purchase individually.

i am personally very happy with my purchase, and i don't regret it at all. there are obviously things that can be improved on, but you have to take into account that this is a new brand that is still working out the kinks.

im super proud of Nick, and im excited to see what the future holds for Space Camp Wellness!

21, 18, 10 for the ask game :)

I'm a libra!

As for lips, mine were cracked and really dry and for quite a while I had to use doctor dan or whatever intensive lip balm just so I could open my mouth without my lips hurting, but it worked like a dream and now I only get occasional dryness and dead skin. For that I use St. Ive's juicy watermelon scrub and gently rub it until it's smooth. Again. Only when needed. Smith's strawberry lip balm for everyday use and usually I don't have any makeup when I go out, but I apply it throughout the day.

When wearing makeup, then usually I use a clear gloss or oil on them, my favorite is nk makeup pure lip oil which I got at burlington. When I want to use color I prefer a gloss over a regular lipstick because those dry me out and usually are too matte for my face. Urban Decay is my favorite brand, so I have a ton of their vice lip bond, and raw footage is my favorite because of how dramatic it is.

Almost done, really!

For eyeshadow I use a white base to make it show brighter, haus labs hy-power tint in white which is made for eyes, lips and cheeks, though I've yet to use it on either of those but will try and tell you guys what it's like. There's several palettes that I use, mostly cheaper ones, including a cheap one from target that has a hundred colors for blending and regular use. Bebe Celestial brights for special occasions, it has a lot of pretty colors and sometimes I sneak it in for regular stuff

[mariacallous]

So I really like trixies nighttime realness. But I think I also might pick up a lip product. Do you have any favorites of the trixie lip products?

Junebug is a real rockstar, as is Red Scare.

I'm starting to like Stacy more (I'm not usually one for the bright pink lips but it's growing on me and it would pair well with the Nighttime Realness blue shades).

With the lip glosses (which can sometimes be almost as full coverage as one of the lipsticks) I love the metallic green Creature (not sure how well it'd work with Nighttime Realness though) and any of the pinker shades (so Baby Woman, Pink Slip, Floral Fixation, Mellow Drama, Cream Puff, Snow Cone, I'm Baby, Marcia Marcia Marcia, Vegan Agenda, or Truth or Dare, and maybe Angel Cat and Prism) would probably pair well. I don't know if it's still available, it might be sold out, but How Rude is also a good one.

I've never tried them but I've heard good things about the lip oils and lip balms.

Finally, “Vitamin E is an antioxidant that protects skin from the damage of free oxygen radicals.”What’s the best way to apply a tinted lip balm?“Lip tint is so easy to apply,” Pollara reiterates. After applying one to four coats, depending on the intensity of the color you’re after, you can dip back into your makeup bag to give the look more oomph by way of a final layer of gloss. “Once the tinted lip balm dries down, you can top it off with your favorite lipgloss or chapsticks for a hydrated look!” Pollara says.Is tinted lip balm good for dry lips?“Non-tinted lip balms are likely superior options for those with dry lips due to less potential irritating ingredients, such as artificial dyes,” says Dr. Teresa Song, a board-certified dermatologist at Marmur Medical. “However, tinted lip balms can be a good option for dry lips as well, depending on their specific ingredients and lip preparation prior to application.” Source link

Finally, “Vitamin E is an antioxidant that protects skin from the damage of free oxygen radicals.”What’s the best way to apply a tinted lip balm?“Lip tint is so easy to apply,” Pollara reiterates. After applying one to four coats, depending on the intensity of the color you’re after, you can dip back into your makeup bag to give the look more oomph by way of a final layer of gloss. “Once the tinted lip balm dries down, you can top it off with your favorite lipgloss or chapsticks for a hydrated look!” Pollara says.Is tinted lip balm good for dry lips?“Non-tinted lip balms are likely superior options for those with dry lips due to less potential irritating ingredients, such as artificial dyes,” says Dr. Teresa Song, a board-certified dermatologist at Marmur Medical. “However, tinted lip balms can be a good option for dry lips as well, depending on their specific ingredients and lip preparation prior to application.” Source link
