Live from Atlanta, Georgia. It's theCUBE, covering AnsibleFest 2019. Brought to you by Red Hat. Okay, welcome back, everyone. It's theCUBE's live coverage of AnsibleFest here in Atlanta, Georgia. I'm John Furrier, host of theCUBE with Stu Miniman, analyst with SiliconANGLE theCUBE. Our next two guests, Tom Anderson, Ansible's product owner at Red Hat is part of the Ansible platform, automation platform they announced, and Richard Henshaw, product manager. Guys, welcome to theCUBE. Thank you. We had all the execs on yesterday and some customers all pretty jazzed up about this year, mainly around just the timing of how automation is really hitting the scene and some of the scale that's going on. You guys had big news with the Ansible automation platform. New addition to the portfolio. What's the feedback? So far, I think the feedback has been super positive. We have customers who've come to us a lot over the last little while and said, hey, we're maturing, we're moving along the automation maturity curve, right? And we have multiple teams coming to us and saying, hey, can you help us connect this other team? We've had a lot of success doing cloud provisioning or doing network automation or doing security automation, what have you? And they're coming to us and saying, help us, give us kind of the story, if you will, to be able to connect these other teams in our organization. And so that we kind of feel the pull for this thing to move from a tool that automates this or that, this task or that task to much more of a platform-centric. It seems to be scaling out in terms of what automation is touching these days. And if you look at the numbers, six million plus activations on GitHub versus other projects. So activities high in the community. But this seems to be a much more broader scope now, to bring more things together. What's the rationale behind it? What's the reasoning? What's the strategy? What's the plan? The main thing is automations got to that point where it's becoming the skill set that we do. So it was always the focus. I'm a database administrator, I'm a CIS admin, I'm a middleware, I'm an app dev. And those people then would do tasks inside their job. But now we're getting to the point of actually, anybody that can see a piece of technology can automate piece of technology. And the clouds have shown this is the way to go forward with the thing. But how do we bring that, not just in places where it's being created from scratch and new, how do you bring that into what's existing? Because a lot of our customers have 20 or 30 years of a heritage in their IT estate. And how do you deal with all of that? You can't just rebuild everything into new as well. So you've got to be able to automate across both of those areas and try and keep, we say it's administrative efficiency versus organizational effectiveness. How do I get to the point where the organization can be effective, as opposed to just doing things that make my job easier? And that's what we're trying to bring with applying automations, the capability that anybody can take advantage of. Yeah, Richard, I actually felt the keynote demo this morning and did a nice job of that. The line that they set it up with is this is a toolset that all the various roles and teams just get it. And it's not the old traditional, okay, I do my piece and set it up and then throw it over the wall. There was that, oh, I've gotten the notification and then some feedback loops and we huddle for something and it gets done rather fast. It's not magic, it's still, when I get a certain piece done, okay, I need to wait for it to actually be up and running. But you're getting everybody into really a enterprise collaboration almost with the tool driving those activities together. And that's why yesterday I said that focus on, collaboration is a great thing. All teams need to be able to do that to be more successful because you get more inclusivity, you get more inputs. But organizations also need to coordinate what activities they're doing because they have rules, regulations, structures and standards they have to apply. And you want to make sure that those people can do things in a way that's guided for them so that they're effective at what they're trying to do. Okay, take a minute to explain what's in the platform first because Ansible Engine and Tower are in there. What else is in there? What's new? What are customers going to see that's new that's different? Okay, so the new components are automation hub. There's collections, which is a technology inside Ansible itself and also automation analytics. All right, and the key thing is that Engine and Tower are still the beating heart of the platform. But then it's about building the body around the outside. So automation hub is about discover abilities like what can we find out? What automation can I do that I'm allowed to do? Analytics is about the post-activity. So I've automated all these things. I've done all this work. Well, how did it go? Who did what? Who did how much of what? How well did it work? How much did it fail to succeed? And then once you build on that, you then start to expand that into other areas. So what KPIs, how much of what I do is automated versus not automated. You can start to instigate other aspects of business change then. A gamification amongst teams. Who's the closest and most adherent to the strategy? You know, an input source to how possible it is. We find out what's working, right? Essentially, and there's a sharing mechanism, too, for other groups in terms of knowing what's happening. And how is my platform performing? Which areas are performing well? Which areas might not be performing well? And then as we move down the road, kind of how am I performing against my peers? How are other organizations that are automating using the Ansible Automation Platform doing? And am I keeping up? Am I doing better? That kind of stuff. So, Tom, there's a robust community as we was talking about there. Platform feels like it builds on, yet does change the dynamic a little bit when you talk about the Automation Hub and collections. You've already got a long list of the ecosystem vendors that are participating here. Bring us through a little bit what led to all these announcements and where you expect, how will this change the dynamics of the community? And maybe we'll split up that question. I'll talk a little bit about partners because it's both partners and customers in community here that's been driving us this way. I'll talk a little bit about partners and let Rich talk about the customer piece here, which is partners have been traditionally distributing their content, their Ansible Automation content through our engine capability. So our engine release cycle, or cadence, has been sort of the limiting factor to how fast they can get content out to their users. And what the collections does as part of the platform is allows us to separate those things. Rich talked about it yesterday in his keynote, having that stable platform, but yet having content be able to rev fast. And our partners love that idea because they can develop content, create content, get into their users' hands faster. So partners like F5 and Microsoft that you've seen on stage here are both huge contributors and they've been part of the pull for us to get to the platform. And then from a customer perspective, and the thing I love most about doing this job with a glass of customers is because I was a customer and I was the Ansible customer and then I came over to this side and I now go out and see customers, I see what they've done and I go, oh, that's what I wanted to do. Or that's what I was trying to do. And as you start to see those, what people are starting to achieve. And like we said yesterday, it's moved away from should I automate, to how would I automate more and what should I automate. And so we're starting to see how customers are building their capabilities. And there's as many different ways people do this as our different customers. You know what's interesting is you guys have such a great success formula. First of all, congratulations. And it's great to see how this is turning into such a wider market because it's not just a niche configuration management anymore. Automations become with Cloud 2.0, a whole new wider category. So congratulations. The formula we see with success is good product, community, customers adopting, and then ecosystem. That seems to be the successful form in these kinds of growth, growth waves that you guys are experiencing. What is the partner angle? You mentioned S5, Microsoft, because that to me is going to be a tipping point and a tell sign for you guys because you got the community, you got the customers, that's check, check ecosystem. What's the partner angle? How do they involve? Take us through that. What's going on there? So you're absolutely right. So you know, kind of platform velocity will be driven by partner adoption and how many things customers can automate on that platform or through that platform. And for us, I mean, the example was in the demo this morning where they went to the automation hub and they pulled down the F5 collection, plugged it into a workflow and they were automating. What our partners experience through their customers is, look, if I'm a customer, I have a multi-cloud environment or hybrid cloud environment, I've got automation from AWS, I've got Azure automation, I've got VMware automation, I've got F5, I've got Cisco, I've got Palo Alto, I've got all these different automation tools to try and string them together. And the customers are coming and telling those vendors, look, we don't want to use your automation tool and this automation tool in that one. We want to use Ansible as the common substrate if you will, automation substrate across this platform. So that's motivating the partners to come to us and say, hey, I was out at the F5 Aspire last week and they're all in on Ansible. I mean, it's really impressive to see just how much they're in on Ansible and how much they're being driven by their customers. When they do Ansible workshops with F5, they say the attendance is amazing. So they're being pulled by their customers and therefore the partners are coming to us and that's driving our platform kind of usability across the scale. Another angle we'll see when we talk to the engineers that they're partners that are actually doing the work to work with Ansible, is that they're seeing it as a change also in how they, it's no longer like an individual customer inside an individual day center because everything's so much more open and so much more visible. There's value in them making it appealing and easy for their customers to gain advantage of what they're doing and also the fact that then scales across those customers as well because they have their internal teams doing the same things. And so bringing them to an automation capable of like Ansible and then we have to push that means that they also gain some, the customer's appreciation for them making it easier to do their task in collaboration with us. And the best collaborations we've got with some of our partners are all initiated by customers saying, hey, I want you to go and get Ansible content. So the customers are driving a lot of the behavior in the ecosystem. Correct. On the, just another point we've been hearing a lot in the security side, separate sector, but cybersecurity, a lot of customers are building teams internally, dev teams, building their own stacks and then telling the suppliers, hey, support my APIs. So now you're starting to see more of an API integration point. Is that something that is going to be something that you guys are going to be doubling down on? What's the approach there? How does a partner connect and scale with the customers? So Ansible security automation, which is automation connecting IPS, EPS, that kind of stuff. It is almost a replay of what we did in the network automation space. So we saw a need in the network automation space. We feel that we became a catalyst in the community with our partners and our customers and our contributors.  We're doing the exact, we see the exact same thing in the security automation space. Set compliance aside over here, we're talking about kind of automating the connections between your firewalls, your threat detection systems and all that kind of stuff. So we're working with a set of partners, whether it's Cisco, whether it's Palo Alto, whether it's resilient, IBM's resilient and being able to connect and automate the connections between the threat and the response and all of that kind of stuff. The same trajectory as the network automation. It's the exact same trajectory. We're just running the same play and it's working out great. Now we're on that kind of early part of that curve, that adoption curve and we have partners jumping in with us. Yeah, as you're talking to customers, we've heard certain stories, how I got a thousand hours of work down to a dozen hours of work there. Is there anything built into the tool today that allows them to kind of generate those hero stats or anything along those lines? Talk about analytics maybe. Yeah, so without any analytics side on, I mean, those things start to become possible and one of the things we've been doing is turning on more metrics and it's actually really about mining the data for the customer because Tower gives this great focal point for all the automation that's going on. It's somewhere that everything comes through. So when we export that and then we can do that work for all the customers rather than how to do it all themselves. Then you start to build up those pictures and we've started with a few different areas but as we advance with those and start to see how people use them and start having that conversation with customers about what data they want to use and how they want to use it, I think that's going to be very possible. You know, and it's- It's so important, I think it was laid out here nicely that automation goes from a tactical solution to more strategic but more and more how customers can leverage that data and be data driven, that's going to drive them forward. Any good customer examples you have of that outcomes? No, you're talking to a lot of them. RBS one from this morning. Yeah, so I mean, RBS up this morning and I think that the numbers they used in the demo that she's like, you know, last year they did 100,000, you know, from launch to the end of the year that 100,000 changes through their platform. And this year so far they've done a million. So, and that, you know, from my recollection that's about the same timeframe on either side of the year. So that's a pretty impressive acceleration side of things. We've had other ones where people have said, you know, how many times, you know, we're talking to some customers yesterday, what used to take eight hours to do a DR test with 20 or 30 people in for the weekend, now takes 12 minutes for two people and they're basically just pushing a few buttons just as they go through and confirm everything's worked. You know, that type of, you can't get away from that type of change. The JPMorgan example yesterday was pretty compelling.  So that's awesome. The thing I want to ask you guys next is we're seeing another pattern in the market where amongst your customer base where it's the same problem being automated across all over the place. So playbooks become kind of key. As that starts to happen, is that where the insights kind of comes in? Can you kind of help us kind of tie that together? Because if I'm a large enterprise, whether it's I'm decentralized or centralized or I'm organized, I'll problem getting more gear. I'm getting more cloud, I'm getting more operations. There's more surface area of stuff and certainly 5G, IOTs coming around the corner, image and security. All this is expanding. There'll be more touch points. Automation seems to be the killer app for this. Automating those mundane tasks, but also identifying new things. Well, can you guys comment on that? Yeah, so maybe I'll start Rich and you can jump in, which is a little bit around, particularly in those large accounts where you have these different disparate teams taking a approach to automate something using Ansible and then being able to repeat or reuse that somewhere else in the organization. So that idea of for them to be able to curate their automation content that they've created. Maybe they've pulled something down from Galaxy, maybe they've got something from our Automation Hub and they've made it their own. And now they want to curate that and spread it across their organization to either obviously become more efficient but also enforce standards. That's where Automation Hub is going to come into play here. Not only will it be a repo for certified content from us and our partners, but it will also be an opportunity for them to curate their own content and share it across their organization. Yeah, and I think when you tie those two things together and you've got that, you know, I call it discoverability, so how do I go and find what I want? And then the next day after you've run the automation, you then got the, unless you say, well, who's using the right corporate approved roles? Who's using the same set of roles from the team that builds the standards to make sure you've got a compliant build? You know, again, showing the demo, that SysAdmin has his way of doing it, puts a security baseline application on top and you go, okay, who's running that security baseline continuously every time? So you can both impose the security standards in the way the build works, but you can also validate that everybody's actually doing the security standards. You know what I find fascinating about what you guys are doing and I think this came out clearly yesterday and you guys are talking about it in some of the community conversations, is there's a social construct here going on, is a cultural shift where the benefits that you guys are throwing off with the automation is creating a network effect within the companies. So it's not just having a Slack channel and seeing if the servers are up or down. It's much more of a tighter bond between the stakeholders inside the companies because you have people from different geographies, you have champions driving change and there's some solidarity happening between the groups of people. Whether they're siloed or decentralized, so there's a whole new social network, almost a cultural shift that's happening with the standardization of this substrate. Can you guys comment on this dynamic? Did you see this coming? Are you planning for it? Are you doubling down on it? I think so and we talk about community and how important that is. But how do you create that community internally? And so Ansible's like the catalyst. So most of the teams don't necessarily need to understand in their current day jobs, Git and all the DevOps focus tools for the next generation. But then you bring Ansible because they want to automate and suddenly they go, okay, now I need to understand source control, I need to understand versioning, I need to understand how to do Git pulls and pull requests and this and so on and so forth. And it changes that provides the sort of the catalyst for them to focus on what change they have to make about how they work. Because what they wanted to do was something that requires them to do good disciplines and good behaviors that previously there was no motivation or need to do. I think Bart from Microsoft hit on that yesterday, I don't know if you saw Bart's session, but their network engineer is having to get familiar with concepts of using automation almost like software development life cycles, right? And starting to manage those things in repos and think of it that way, which is intimidating at first for people who are not used to that. But once they're over that kind of hump and understand that the Ansible language itself is simple and an operations person and admin can use it, no problem. He said it himself, didn't he? My network engineers have become network developers. Yeah, it's funny, I've been watching and talking to a bunch of customers, they all have their automation journey that they're going through. And when I hear the gamification, I'm like, okay, what if I have certain levels I have to reach and it unlocks capabilities in the community along the way? Maybe that could built in the future. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Maybe it's swag based. If you get to certain level, we'll send you some t-shirts. Nice work environment when you're not talking about the servers down on some Slack channel when you're actually focusing on work. So that's the shift, that's what I'm seeing. Going from firefighting to being able to do. Or throwing bombs at each other. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Playing wars and on. When I was going through this myself and I used to talk to a lot of the different teams and the dev teams and the ops teams and I'd say it would be nice if these teams didn't have to talk to you and complain about something that hadn't worked or was misconfigured or it was just like, I just like to talk to you because you're my friend or you're my colleague and I'd like to have a chat because everything's working because it's all automated so it's consistent and it's repeatable. That's a nice way, it can change the way that people get to interact because it's no longer only phoned me up when something's wrong. And I think that adds an interesting dynamic to it. Well, on our survey, our customer base and our community, one of the four things that came up was happier employees because if they're getting stuff done and more efficient, they have more time to actually self-actualize in their job. And that becomes an interesting, it's not just a check box in some HR manual. It's actually real impact. And I think the customers who we've heard talk, the RBS gentleman this morning gave me a lot of the fear initially is, well, I automate myself out of a job and what we've heard from everybody is that's not actually true at all. It just allows them to do higher value things that are more proactive to it. You've heard that in big data. The automation thing is ridiculous. I mean, I've heard that. I didn't use it yesterday. My little joke comment with that is when I try to explain to my father what I do and he just said, well, in the 1970s, they said that computers, I mean, would all do a two-day week. And that hasn't come true either, right? So that's what I'm talking about.  Yeah, it comes through with red hat, by the way. Richard, thanks for coming on and sharing the insight. Thanks for unpacking the Ansible automation platform. It's one of the features. And congratulations. Great to see the progress. Thank you, John. Thank you very much. We'll be following you guys. It's theCUBE coverage here in Atlanta. I'm John Horvitz, Stu Miniman. Debuts are day two of CUBE coverage after this short break.


is TFNN, the tiger financial news network. Good morning, everybody. I'm Tommy O'Brien, company live from TFNN 10 a.m. Eastern time 30 minutes in the trading day. We got higher prices across the board right now. We got higher price. We got lower yield. We got some GDP numbers. How about we kick it off with that headline? The US economy grew 5.2% in the third quarter more than first estimated. We get that number this morning. We also get a little bit of Fed speak out there as well, putting some fuel on the fire. And we got the S&Ps right now, up by 7.10%. That's 32 points in the positive. Trading approaching 4,600 right now. NASDAQ 100. You're up by almost a full percent. You're up by 150 points, 16,198. The Dow up 124 points right now. And how about the Russell, man? Up a solid 2% on the dot with the Russell hitting 1833 right now. Take a look at the longer term of the Russell, man. Boy, we got some work to do, right? To get to that all-time high at 2460. We're trading at 1832. Not so much the case with the NASDAQ, man. NASDAQ, you're only about 550 points off of the all-time highs. Less than 4%. NASDAQ 100, less than 4% away from all-time highs, even the S&P right now, right? Basically the same thing. You're only 200 points away from all-time highs. And it seems like it's getting drawn to at least the high from July of 4634. You jumped accrued, flat on the session right now at 7634. You jump over to the gold contract. Higher prices yet again. Gold up by $7, 2067. We hit 2072 overnight. All-time highs, 2089. We're right there in that gold contract. Excuse me, folks. Battling a little cold. And how about the 10-year? We just keep going, man. The 10-year right now we're sitting up by 18 ticks. And you're talking about 4.25%. Just like that, man. 4.25%. We were just talking about 5%, man. Not the case anymore with the 10-year at 4.25%. That has led to some dollar weakness. A little bit of a pullback in the dollar since we've been on the air. We were at 103. We're at 102.75 right now. But boy, we got higher markets. We got a strong GDP number. And yeah, we got lower yields with the 10-year. 4.25%. So much for 5, man. And how about that, Vicks? We're going to get an 11-handle today. We just made 1266. It's stuck at right now. Not sure we get that 11-handle, especially with some important inflation data coming out tomorrow morning. Folks, stay tuned. Basil did his program live at eight o'clock. It's coming up right now. Very timely for Mr. Chapman. After that, we got our man, Steve Rhodes at 11. Fast market at 12. Larry at 1. My dad live to wrap it up from 3 to 4. Stay tuned, folks. Have a great Wednesday.


So I've never been afraid to veer from the mainstream. I like alternatives I like trying out alternative stuff alternative internet protocols alternative internet platforms social media sites alternative software and Three of the alternative platforms that I've really pushed heavily on the YouTube channel here in recent months are Gemini Mastodon and Odyssey and I get viewer comments and questions all the time about those platforms. Hey DT It's been three months six months a year since you started using this have your thoughts have your opinions changed in any way So today I wanted to take a few minutes to address my thoughts on these three alternative platforms So the first thing I want to talk about is Gemini Gemini is an alternative to the modern web It is an alternative to HTTP HTTPS Think of Gemini as a modern-day gopher for those of you that were around in the early 1990s with the gopher protocol In the early 90s, we had basically two internet protocols that were competing We had gopher and the web the web went out But but a lot of us still have fond memories of the gopher protocol because it was just plain text and it was fast And it was kind of neat and it kind of died But now we have a modern version of gopher essentially with Gemini So if I open my Gemini capsule, which is Gemini colon slash slash distro dot tube I'm going to open it in the terminal Gemini client called M4 And this is Gemini colon slash slash distro dot tube It's my personal Gemini capsule and these days This is my main website if you will you know my Gemini capsule is actually my official site And a lot of people were very critical of me when I said that I was going to start doing a Gemini capsule as my main website I was going to get rid of my HTML site and they're like now you can't do that Sure I can because this is just essentially plain text It's very simple plain text that I mean if I actually open the source code for this It essentially looks almost exactly the same as as what you're seeing displayed on the screen The only difference is there's a little bit of formatting with the links But just a very small little bit of formatting so what I decided to do was I'm doing the Gemini capsule as my main site And then I have a script that converts the Gemini files which are again just simple plain text I have a script that will convert them for me into simple HTML very minimal HTML Which I then pushed to my HTTP site at distro tube comm So I still have a website and I still have a Gemini site But the Gemini site is actually what I actually work on and then I have a script that auto Magically creates the HTML site for me now getting back to my thoughts on Gemini I think a lot of people think my opinion of Gemini is going to kind of soften You know as time goes on that I'm gonna somehow start becoming critical of Gemini because you can't possibly like a internet Protocol that doesn't have inline links or images displayed or video Multimedia doesn't allow JavaScript. You can't possibly like that, but it's so plain. It's just text. Yeah, I love it Like the more I use it the more I like it not even kidding yet I love not having inline links in line links. Don't make any sense The old gopher protocol actually did it this way You couldn't have an inline link like in a paragraph if you wanted a link It needed to be on its own separate line And that's what Gemini is doing to the same that gopher did Gemini is doing it the exact same way and it makes sense Because when you have inline links and paragraphs you have all these links and these paragraphs Then you have all of this markup in in this paragraph to this syntax That doesn't really make sense Especially when you want to do a copy and paste or something of the source code it makes sense Hey, have a paragraph just plain text and then below the paragraph have the links related to that paragraph And each link is on its own separate line Which makes it really easy to manipulate these links if you need to with scripting if you want to do anything with Grip said and all can all of that, you know having everything on its own line Makes a ton of sense the lack of images.  It's going to open that image in their image viewer on their computer Which should be the way to do this is the UNIX philosophy the image viewer should open images The web browser should not be displaying images So overall I really like the the gopher protocol all of your links are numbered Everything's keyboard driven if I hit six on the keyboard right now I could view my videos from 2021 So let's go follow that link and you see how fast that page opens and this is a lengthy page Because I've made a lot of videos so far, you know in 2021 them like key binding So G to go to the top capital G to go to the bottom and all of that And of course if I wanted to follow links 0 through 9 on the keyboard follows links 0 through 9 The single digit numbers if you needed to follow a link higher than 9 For example, if I wanted to follow link 12 what I would do is on mine I have colon set to like a VM command mode now by default and for its space space And then the number I have it set to colon and then the number So I would do colon 12 and hit enter and it would follow that link But that would open up my web browser because these are web links These are links to my videos over on Odyssey listed in reverse chronological order It's another thing that some people seem frustrated about is okay you got web links here Let me go back to the home page web links here are green for my color screen and Gemini links are purple And of course the web links will open up my web browser Which is brave and the Gemini links will and for I can handle those right so you've got two different internet protocols And they're opening in two different clients Why why don't you just have one client that opens all the protocols? Well, again, it's the UNIX philosophy the web browser should handle web links the Gemini client should handle Gemini links You know, I know that's frustrating to some people especially when you're used to the kind of Half-ass way that so many things are done with software and operating systems You're used to the way things were back when you used windows where your software was a jack of all trades Maybe it's master of none rather than focusing on one specific thing and doing that thing perfectly So for me my thoughts on Gemini, it's only improving. I'm really excited about Gemini It's becoming more and more popular and there's so many other sites that you could view on Gemini For example, well, here's tech rights for those of you that view tech rights on the web tech rights has a Gemini page as well. Some of the other ones that I know about I do want to mention One that I came across here and just posted the other day was those of you that host on Sourcehut now I use GitLab, but I know a lot of you guys use sourcehut sourcehut now is offering free Gemini sites The way you can host a free HTML site on GitHub or GitLab sourcehut let you do that as well You can have a free website with sourcehut But you can also do a free Gemini capsule if you prefer to do it that way So those of you that are already on sourcehut maybe take advantage of that The next alternative to the mainstream that people often ask me about is Mastodon. I've been on Mastodon for a couple of years. I started hosting my own instance of Mastodon Just a few months back a four or five months ago. I would say I started Distrotoot.com for those of you that want to sign up over there feel free. I don't hang out there much I mean I read my messages there, but I I'm not that active just for sake of time But it is a nice alternative to something like Twitter for example and the great thing about Mastodon is It's free and open source software. You can have your own instance of Mastodon It's not a central server the way something like a Twitter is because with Twitter There's only one instance of Twitter, right? You get banned from Twitter. You can't be on another Twitter There's not another Twitter right here Everyone can have their own instance of Mastodon their own set of rules or their own topics that they want to cover their own topics That they don't want discussed and it's a really nice Decentralized and and federated platform and a lot of people are Critical of Mastodon. Well, a lot of people have been critical of Mastodon for a long time And I keep seeing this becoming more and more prevalent in the free and open source software communities as people Trashing Mastodon a little bit because of the decentralized nature of it. A lot of people don't like that They don't they don't like the fact that it's not like Twitter where everybody is on one platform Everybody can talk to everybody else We're on Mastodon if I want my Mastodon instance to not be federated with certain other Mastodon instances And I do want that like I don't want to be Federating with a lot of Mastodon instances that are out there that are You know kind of crazy So, you know, I don't talk to those servers those servers May that maybe they don't talk to my server either and that's okay That's that's that's the purpose of Mastodon That's the purpose of being Decentralized is you don't all want to be in the same place on the same server with the same Overlords, right or if one one guy decides to ban you that's it You know your games over you're done It's kind of like the criticisms earlier that people had with Gemini and a lot of people's the negatives They see with Gemini. I see as positives This is the same thing with Mastodon a lot of the negatives people like to say are negatives about Mastodon I actually think are positives. So it's really point of view a lot of it, too Is comfort level a lot of people are used to using what they've been using they they're used to using Centralized services and when you use something Different, you know something that veers from the mainstream a little bit, you know, it's it's a little bit weird Right, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense until you start using it And then once you start using these kinds of decentralized platforms Then you can't go back to the old way of doing things You could never be on Twitter once you get used to using platforms like Mastodon You could never go back to Facebook and probably the alternative platform that I get asked about the most is odyssey odyssey.com which is of course the front-end to library We used to have a different front-end to library called library TV But it was kind of confusing because library is essentially a protocol and library is also a cryptocurrency library credits LBCs and it had you had three different things that all were named library now the actual Website is now named odyssey and that makes a lot more sense It's less confusing because now when people talk about library, you know They're specifically talking about either the desktop client or the protocol behind the desktop client And they're not talking specifically about the website and here recently I think why people are asking me about library slash odyssey is because there's a SEC lawsuit right now that's being filed against library the company behind the library protocol and People are worried about that lawsuit. What will it mean? Will it mean the end of library? No, and that's not what it means It's free and open-source software. Anyway, you know free and open-source software never dies What will it mean the end of odyssey dot-com odyssey dot-com? It's not a part of the lawsuit You know, it's not that's not what the SEC is worried about this website Even if odyssey dot-com went away Remember library is just a protocol free and open-source protocol as well Anybody could create a new front end a new website to the library protocol if they wanted to now overall What are my thoughts on odyssey dot-com as far as an alternative platform to YouTube? Yeah I think it absolutely is an alternative to YouTube. I think it's a viable alternative. I think it is the future So, you know, I'm one of the bigger creators on odyssey. I have a pretty substantial following 32,000 subscribers on odyssey That is a lot of subscribers on an alternative platform. I mean, that's that's about a third of the subscribers I have on YouTube. So, you know, it's Comparable, but it's actually much more impressive probably what I'm doing on odyssey because on YouTube You have potentially billions of people that view YouTube on odyssey, you know, the viewership is quite a bit lower But I get a lot more engagement also revenue the YouTube AdSense revenue compared to LB C donations over on odyssey They're comparable at times depending on the price of crypto over now right now crypto prices have crashed down So it's not a good time to compare numbers right now, but overall, I love odyssey I can't imagine not being on it I will continue to be on odyssey from now Until the end of time until until the end of I decide to no longer make videos or until odyssey itself goes away I can't imagine not being on odyssey these days. That's just become like second nature, you know I'm an odyssey creator, right and YouTube I may not be on in the future right now It makes sense to be on YouTube because still too many people view videos on YouTube You know if you want to have the most Eyeballs on your content and the kind of content I want now. I'm trying to spread messages about GNU slash links and free and open source software and the importance of Free and open source software. I want the most people to hear that message. It makes sense to be on YouTube right now Now I think YouTube will decline in the future. I think it has to I don't think you know, nothing lasts forever You know, nothing stays on top forever YouTube will eventually decline and people will look for an alternative and I think the alternative People are already starting to explore the alternative. The alternative is odyssey and you already see it There's so many creators on odyssey now Creators, you know If you follow, you know a lot of Linux creators just general tech creators and even things not related to tech I mean, there's so many Thousands of content creators now that are putting their content on odyssey and you get views on odyssey There's people that actually go to this site just to watch videos when I post a video a new video on odyssey I typically get you know a thousand 1500 views in the first 24 hours of it being published Now that's not great numbers compared to what I get on YouTube You know, that's probably you know 10 percent 15 percent of what I get on YouTube in the first 24 hours of a video But that's still not an insignificant number of people that are viewing my content on a free and open source Alternative to YouTube and I think that's amazing. So overall my thoughts on Jim and I Mastodon odyssey these alternatives to the mainstream. Yeah, I'm still big on all three of them I'm still going to promote all three of them all the time I I get people have criticisms about all three, but again, it really is From perspective, you know, because a lot of the complaints people have about all three of those platforms I see those as positives. So and you don't have to use them as like just because I like Jim and I doesn't mean You have to like Jim and I just because I'm on Mastodon doesn't mean you have to be on Mastodon, right? And if you don't like viewing my content on odyssey, well, you can still view it on YouTube If you don't like viewing it on either YouTube or odyssey, I bet you can come up with other ways to view my content I won't mention those on camera because the YouTube overlords may not like me mentioning those those kinds of alternatives But you have alternatives out there.

I need a change I'm sorry. I did it wrong I said I want to change All right, then say with me. I need a change All right, so Wanting to have a change in your life It's good But it needs to go deeper than wanting It needs to find you at a place where you say I've got to have a change In my life we were all born in sin And shaping in iniquity And if it had not been for the lord We would have been lost throughout all of eternity And so when I understand that there are two destinations after life I look in the mirror and say to myself. I've got to have a change in first Corinthians chapter 15 I'd like to call your attention there And we'll begin to read at verse number 50 first Corinthians 15 50 through 58 And while you're turning there as I worked with this message it came to me a song That I've known down through the years. It says I'm working on the building It's a true foundation I'm holding up the bloodstained banner for my lord And I never get tired of working on the building Because I'm going up to heaven To get my reward We're called to work on the building Not this physical building but this building And if we don't work on the building We'll find that our building gets old quick And begins to decay and fall apart So We're charged with working on our building Because if we work on the building as we should We'll go to heaven And get our reward anybody want to reward you want to reward in heaven throughout all of eternity Scripture reads like this Now this I say brethren That flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of god Neither death corruption inherit In corruption Behold I show you a mystery We shall not all sleep But we shall all Be changed We shall all Be changed Let me let me pause right here. Paul says to us he said Our goal is to go to be with jesus To live with him throughout all of eternity He said but there's a problem that we find That this fleshly body Can't go to be with jesus He said because it's corruptible and we see Very few people reach the age of 100 Because the body just is not built to do it It decays I'm a witness to that I used to be a lot faster than I am today Elder ross you can be you can remain silent I used to look better than I look today So you say I had to cut him off And as we grow And we live our days We get closer and closer To the end of our existence on this earth And we understand that change is necessary To reach the goal that we've set for ourselves And that's for victory in jesus He said Behold I show you a mystery We shall not all sleep He said there gonna be some fleshly bodies here on earth when the lord comes and splits the sky To catch his people up he's gonna rapture the church And he said everybody's not gonna be dead. We shall not all sleep But we shall all be changed You got to be changed He said in a moment In the twinkling of an eye At the last trump For the trump shall sound and the dead shall be raised incorruptible And we shall Be Changed He said jesus is coming back For his church And I heard somebody say ready or not here he comes He said it's gonna be Such As you've never seen before he said it's gonna happen in Just a moment and a moment means In the twinkling of an eye It's it's in that moment is indivisible You can't divide the moment right if you if you blink your eye Too late in a moment in the twinkling of an eye at the last trump For the trump shall sound And the dead shall be raised incorruptible And we shall be changed Come on somebody. Oh, thank god That he has a A way to get us to where we need to be he said you're gonna Do what's right if you follow my footsteps if you follow my edict You're going to be changed now.  How about that the victory? Was promised by god Long ago from the very beginning mortal shall shall have Put on immortality Then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written Death is swallowed up in victory Death is swallowed up When you walk with god When you do his will When you live like you know you ought to live When you learn how to say no to the devil see If the devil's your boss I've worked on many jobs And guess what?  Oh grave, where is thy victory? I'm going to receive victory. I'm going to receive victory.  Oh death Where is thy sting? Oh grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin And the strength of sin Is the law You got to have strength You got to have strength to to withhold To keep yourself out of what you are not to be in But I thank god here's here's the strength right here said but thanks be to god Yeah Thanks be to god which give us the victory through our lord jesus christ Oh, yes, we had we had A bill that we couldn't pay But but thank god that jesus christ the righteous He looked down upon us and saw us in our sin And he said come on to me all ye that labor and are heavy latent and I will give you rest He said just take my yoke up on you and learn of me. Come on somebody You can't live on this earth and and not learn something He said he said don't just learn something learn of me Because my yoke is easy my burden is light not like the devil but my burden is light Thanks be to god which give us the victory Through our lord jesus christ jesus did it Jesus paid the price I was in jail one time Because I didn't pay a traffic ticket.   I only have $26.   Thank god. He dropped the charges The next verse therefore might be loved brethren be ye steadfast Now the apostle paul is talking to the church He's talking to those who have yielded their spirit And said yes come into my life Yes lord, I'll let you rule over me I'll let you tell me what to do and when you tell me what to do I'll do it And when I don't do it, I come to you in repentance and ask you to please forgive me Thank you, jesus. Thank you. Thank god for the remedy Now I'll tell you the scripture said if we sin we have an advocate with the father Yes, sir And it should say since we sin because I'll ask for for hands Are there any perfect people here today? Nobody's perfect When you're walking with god When you make a misstep the lord says don't worry about it don't worry He said just repent just say i'm not going that way anymore He said let us move on to perfection We're being perfected We're being perfected So back back to my scripture therefore being Therefore my beloved brethren Be ye steadfast Unmovable Always abounding in the work of the lord For as much as you know That your labor is not in vain In the lord Your labor is not in vain in the lord Don't allow anybody to to put a brick in front of your wheel Don't let anybody separate you from what the lord has called you to and you found that you've fallen in love with jesus And you just need to keep on pushing no matter what comes no matter what goes no matter what anybody says walk with jesus Hallelujah hallelujah Thank you jesus i'm almost through i'm almost through I heard somebody say I heard somebody say Well, no, I won't go there. I won't go there Now let let us go to acts chapter two acts chapter two Beginning at verse 37 verse 37 begins by Saying now when they heard this They were pricked in their hearts And they said unto peter and the rest of the apostles men and brethren. What shall we do? What shall we do? Then peter said unto them repent Be baptized every one of you in the name of jesus christ for the remission of sins for the removal of your sins Born in sin and shaping an iniquity You had a sin on you and you got to get that sin off Then peter said unto them repent be baptized every one of you in the name of jesus christ for the remission of sin now people say It's nothing to it is just a ceremony but I don't know who said that I've heard it, but I don't I never saw it written down anywhere, but it says right here baptized In jesus name for remission for the removal And ye shall receive the gift Of the holy ghost The spirit of god to live down on the inside of you to give you strength to say no to the adversary Of your soul who wants to see you in hell with him hallelujah, I don't know why the lord gave this this to me today yes now Now peter said the promise is unto you And to your children You mean the promise goes to my children too the promise to you Goes to your children promises unto you and your children Until all that are far off Even as many As the lord our god Shall call and here's what i'm going to say to you The verse number 40 and with many other words Did he testify? and exhort saying save your


Hi guys, what is up? Welcome to my channel. So for today's video, I have been working on my research for this for a few weeks now. I'm going to be doing an update on all of the products that I bought during the Sephora VIP sale. I posted two hauls of the items that I picked up. I have a video of myself trying on some of the products. Now, almost a month later, I am back to give you my thoughts after I've had a lot more time to play with the items. So if you are interested in hearing all of my thoughts on a lot of new products that I picked up, then just keep watching. Happy Wednesday, you guys. I hope you all are doing well. I'm really excited about this video because these products have been set aside for a month now, and I'm ready to get them into my collection. But I had them set aside so that I would be reminded to constantly be reaching for these products so that I could come back with a very accurate update. There's a lot that you learn from a product every time you use them. So during the sale, I picked up two face primers, both of which were repurchases for me, so I already know I love them.  I'm still working on finishing this one up. Those two are amongst my favorite of primers because they're very moisturizing for the skin. I don't want to spend too much time on them just because I've used them for forever. So I picked up three foundation or base products. The first one that we have is the Estee Lauder Futurist Hydra Rescue Foundation. I know a lot of you are curious about this one. I was for quite some time and that's what led me to pick it up. I have mine in the shade 2W1 Dawn, and I really do like this foundation. I think I'm going to really like it over this summer. It does provide a medium coverage and it gives you a very glowy finish. The one thing that I do have to say about this is it is not long wearing on me. If you're looking for something that has this do but it has a longer wear time, I would suggest mixing it with the regular double wear foundation because that foundation doesn't budge. That's going to give you the do that this has and then it's going to give you the lasting power. Now, obviously it's not going to be as dewy, but that's just the way to get the perfect medium. So I do really like this very lightweight, very pretty on the skin. It just doesn't last the longest. So that's the reason why it's not like a super favorite of mine. I also picked up the Hourglass Vanish Stick. I got mine in the shade Light Beige and this is such an old classic product that so many of you have tried. And I have to admit to you guys, I really don't like this as much as I was hoping I would. I definitely find it to be a lot more thick on my skin. I know a lot of you guys said going with a brush or something more dense to really blend it out. And it does blend out fine, but I feel like it could blend out better. I feel like I can just really see it sitting on my skin. I like more of a skin like finish to me. This isn't skin like for this product in particular less is definitely more. But when I apply less, I get less coverage. So I like this with less product, but then I kind of lose the coverage aspect of this. And overall, it just took some time to get this to work for me. This is a product where I like it enough to keep it in my collection and use it because sometimes stick foundations are just easier. But once I'm done with this, I probably won't repurchase it. The last item that I have that a lot of you guys were actually curious about is the Ilya Super Serum Skin Tint. I got mine in the shade ST8 Sheila. This product when I first tried it out, it is just a tint. You would see in my trying on video that this provided me with little to no coverage. And I do have problematic skin where my skin just, I have acne. And for me, since I don't have perfect skin, I want something that's going to cover a little bit more. What I would say this provided for me was more so of a very pretty glow to the skin. A little bit overly so to where if I actually went out and started sweating, I would look sweaty and oily, but it does provide a natural glow to the skin. It feels really nice on the skin, but I wasn't getting much from it. I felt like it was a product where you could only really love if you have really perfect skin. I have some updates to come back to you with that I didn't mention in that video. I said I was going to try mixing it with other foundations and you guys, this is amazing for mixing up foundations. One thing you need to make sure you're doing is shake it before you use it. It can become a little bit white as it sits. So make sure you mix it good. I didn't mix it good enough today, but I actually found that I love mixing this with the Hourglass vanish stick. These two are incredible. This makes this stick so easy to blend out. You'll see in the demo, it makes my skin look skin-like. It completely gets rid of that thick and cakey look that I feel like the Hourglass gives. And just these two together, they melt together beautifully. I have such a beautiful glow to my skin, not overly so. This one, I felt my skin almost looked too glowy. This takes that away, but the dryness that this almost adds to my skin is cured with the glowiness of this. It's just these two are so great. So if you're struggling with a tricky stick foundation, put a little bit of this on the skin. It's the perfect mixture. Even with this, I still had the coverage that the stick provided. And they are just so beautiful together. So if you have a really thick foundation, especially sticks, but even liquid foundations, this is beautiful to mix in, especially for dry skin as well. So this for me, amazing. I love it. Just be careful. I can't guarantee that this is going to mix well with every single foundation. It just depends if the ingredients mix well with each other. But these two are amazing. Now I love this. This is like a secret weapon for me. So the next item we're talking about is the Charlotte Tilbury Under Eye Corrector. I got mine in the shade Fair. I wish I had gotten the shade up, which is medium, because I feel like this is just a little bit too light for me. Well, I do like the shade because it is brightening. I feel like the next shade up is more peachy. So that would actually be more color correcting. I really enjoy this product.  Or I use it to kind of subdue some redness before I put on a lighter coverage foundation. So this is a very versatile product for me. I wouldn't mind going back and just getting another color. I really like the formula of this. I do find with thinner, more emollient concealers, this can lead to a little bit more creasing on your under eyes. But with thicker, more robust kind of concealers, this doesn't affect it at all. Overall, I just really think this is a really nice product. I like how brightening it is under the eye, and I really do think it makes a difference. I love it all over my face. Very, very good product. Definitely impressed with this. Love the texture of it, very smooth. And now let's talk about the Cosos Concealer. I got mine in the shade 3.5. I wish I had gone one color down, because I think that one is a little bit more neutral. The more time I've had to play with this, I really have a love-hate relationship with this product. I love the texture and the consistency of this product. I love how it blends out. I don't like the color range. I find that the color range runs very yellow. This shade in particular is pure yellow. So I feel like it's not as brightening as it could be. And I'm not super big on brightening concealers, but the yellowness of it is so yellow to the point where it makes my skin kind of look shallow. Yellow is good for a little bit of color correcting, but this is just too yellow. It doesn't look completely right. So less is more with this concealer, especially due to the shade. I also found that it was a bit finicky to get it to work to how I wanted it. So some days I absolutely love this concealer. I thought it was really great. And then other days, my under eyes were just so creasy. These two together crease a lot. With some under eye setting powders, my eyes would crease like crazy. With other under eye powders, my eyes would barely crease. This is just a very finicky product. Some products work with it, some don't. In some cases, this is just better to use alone with nothing else without setting. That's probably when I like this product the most. So this definitely has some pros and cons to it. I would say overall, now that I've had it for a while, it's probably not worth all of the trouble that I have with it, which is unfortunate because I love the way this blends out. But from me, not my favorite. So now let's move into the cream products that I bought for the face. Creams are in. Everybody is loving cream bronzers, cream blushes, and cream highlights. So of course I picked up a few shades from the new Fenty Cream Release. I did do a whole review on all of the products that I got.  I did say in a few videos, I think that this was breaking me out. At this point, I'm not sure because I used it twice and I got very weird acne spots in places that I wouldn't normally get them. And I was like, okay, it's definitely the cream bronzer and I told you guys. And then I used it after that and then all of a sudden I wasn't breaking out anymore. As soon as I say something, it seems like the product stops breaking me out. So I don't know if this breaks me out or not. Lately it hasn't been breaking me out, but that's just my update on that. As always, I don't know what breaks me out. I try, I experiment, I take away products, I add products, and there's no correlation with my skin, I swear. But anyways, I picked up two of the cream bronzers. I got the shade Amber and I did not like the shade. It was so gray and made me look dead. And so many of you guys were fighting with me. They were like, it says it's for fair skin. I was just experimenting, okay? It's not that deep. I bought it for experimentation purposes and I was going to return this because unless you're really fair, this isn't going to work for you. But I actually kind of like mixing it with the other shade that I got, which is Budabest skin. So I really love Budabest skin. I think I would have liked a shade up. This next shade up is Macchiato and I think that one is a little bit too deep. So mixing those two would have been perfect. I'm very happy with Budabest skin. These are very emollient. I do like to set them with some powder though because they don't really dry down to how I would like. But I do find that when I put Amber underneath, just a little bit in the hollows in my cheeks and then I put this on top, there is a little extra element of sculpting happening. So I have been enjoying pairing these two together and since they're the same formula, they blend really well together. So that is why I've kept Amber in my collection and I just think these two colors kind of go very well. They do add a little bit of shading to my face. And then I absolutely loved the cream of blushes that gave such a youthful glow to my skin. I got Roselotte, Petal Poppin and Cool Berry. My favorite shade I think is Roselotte because it gives a really sunburned look to the skin. That's just really natural. These are beautiful products. They blend out beautifully. I like to apply them with a sponge. If you're more fair or have a lighter skin tone like myself, less is more with these products because they can build up impigmentation. But again, if you are interested in seeing the other colors and seeing these in action, definitely check out my review on these. The last cream product that I got was from Kosas. And this is the shade Eighth Muse. And this I was not aware of, so you guys actually taught me this. But I bought this color Eighth Muse in the intensity shade. So in my original review of this or the first time I talked about it, I put it on my skin. I really liked it, but I just thought it would look so much better on medium to deep skin tones. And lo and behold, I realized I bought the intensity version, which is made for darker skin tones. And you know what? I think that's incredible that this brand does this. So there is an Eighth Muse that is not the intensity shade, which would be more fitting up towards my skin tone. And the shade that I have Eighth Muse here is really geared towards deeper skin tones. Now this does work for me. I actually am wearing it today and I really love the formula of this, but I definitely am curious as to what the non-intense version of this is because I do have to use a light hand. But kudos to Kosas for creating two different tones for different skin tones. I think that is incredible and it makes me love the brand so much more and love this product so much more. Once I'm off my low buy, I definitely am looking forward to buying more of these just for the fact that they have an intense version and a not intense version because so many brands are afraid to do that. And to me, it just says so much about the brand itself. And okay, the formula is amazing as well. I really enjoyed this product a lot. Highly recommend. I did also pick up two bronzers that are powder. The first one I talked about plenty, so I don't want to cover it too much. I did also buy the Kosas baked bronzer in the shade Light. I really love this. It's very light. It's very natural on my skin and it gives you a very nice natural glow. Today I put it on top of my cream bronzers from Fenty. I just love this alone. Setting cream bronzers. It's so beautiful. It's great for every day. It's not too intense. It's a beautiful formula. It blends out. On one of my lives, one of you were like, Taty says she doesn't like this bronzer. I said it on the live and I'm going to say it now. We all are entitled to our own opinions, but Taty's wrong because this is really, really good. I really love this bronzer. I disagree with her. I also picked up this NARS Paradise found bronzing powder and I told you I wasn't going to use it because I was going to use it, but I wanted some time to do some product shots with it and I haven't had the time to create some product shots with this so it does remain unused. So I'm sorry, I can't give you an update on this. But seriously, for me and what I do in my channel and my Instagram, makeup is not just for using. It's for looking at, enjoying and taking pictures of as well. I did pick up one powder blush as well and this is the Charlotte Tilbury Cheek-to-Sheek Swish and Pop Blusher in the shade Love Glow. This is a really great blush for fair skin tones. I have multiple of these blushes and these formulas already. I recently filmed The Ultimate Guide to Charlotte Tilbury. These are one of the items that I talked about. These are great blushes, honestly. I just added another color to my collection and it's a really light, everyday, great pink color. So of course I love this. This is awesome. I also picked up the Tom Ford Skin Illuminating Powder Duo in this shade, Mood Light. So you kind of have a deeper color here and then a lighter color here. Surprisingly, I found that this shade had a little bit more reflex to it. So even though you think it would be more natural, everyday kind of color, it actually has more shine to it whereas this gives you a lighter glow but it's not as reflective. I really like this. I think this is really nice. It is a lot of money. I don't necessarily think you need it or you're going to die without it, but definitely as a highlighter. I enjoy this a lot. I've been grabbing for it a lot. It really blends into the skin. It looks very natural. It gives you a glow from within look but you can also build it up to give you some extra pop to it. I feel like this has a lot of versatility. Whatever you use to apply it, however you apply it really dictates to how this is going to look on the skin and what your preferences are. So I love how versatile this is, the quality of it's really good and it's really pretty and I definitely don't regret picking this up. Let's talk eyeshadow palettes.  First we're going to talk about the one that I'm wearing in today's video and this is one of the few that I didn't demo. So this is the Supreme Nudes from Artist Couture. There's been a lot of hype around this palette and let me tell you for a good reason. I did post an IGTV of me using the mattes but I have since tried the shimmers and it is a really great palette. Very approachable colors for me and my color palette and what I prefer. I think this is really beautiful. I definitely have been grabbing for this a lot. I feel very comfortable with this palette and the quality of this is really good. The mattes are buttery smooth. They blend very well and the shimmers are nice and shiny. They are not lackluster. They feel really nice and creamy. So I don't have anything bad to say about this palette. At first I wasn't going to buy it because I didn't need these colors in my collection but I do not regret purchasing this at all because it's just such a good quality palette. For reference today I'm wearing eccentric in the crease, aesthetic in the outer corner, mink in the very very outer corner for some extra depth. I have bronziana all over the lid and then lavish in the center of my lid for a gold pop and I just got a very pretty everyday bronzy kind of look. Great palette. I also picked up two Tom Ford eye quads. The first one that we have is arabesque. Now arabesque I have to say it's not my favorite of the Tom Ford quads in my collection. It's very light. It's very subtle. It gives you a subtle glitter to the lid. I do find I wish that the shades had a little bit more pigmentation to them especially the two shimmer shades right here. Pretty palette, great for everyday. Just not my favorite in the line. Now the one that I do like more is de la creme. So this one it's kind of boring but I like that it's boring because this is such an easy everyday palette. If you have an office job and you just want everyday natural kind of makeup this is a great one to go to. You're going to get a great everyday office look no matter what you do, no matter what color you put on. Buttery smooth, great Tom Ford formula. Underwhelming colors but sometimes that's what you need. So I'm very happy that I picked up de la creme. I do prefer this over arabesque. And then I picked up two more Charlotte Tilbury quads. I love these. I always pick them up while they're on sale. So the first one I got is vintage ramp. And this one I did demo. These ones have more maroon kind of colors. So if you prefer more reddish maroon warm colors you're going to really like this one. Since I'm more of a cooler tone fan this isn't my favorite palette in the entire line but it's very very pretty. It don't get me wrong and a lot of you guys seem to really love the look on me. So it's a very good color story that we have here. Not the most unique but it's still very very pretty. So this one is very nice. I also picked up the bello sofia and I love this one so much you guys. So it looks like nothing special in the pan but on the eyelids you guys I'm in love with this palette. This gold shade in particular something about these glitters in here really stand out on the eyelid. I just absolutely love the looks I've created with this quad of all the Charlotte Tilbury quads I own. This is definitely ranking probably in the top five. I really really love this one and you know you really have to apply them to the eyelid to see what you think but truly enjoy this one. And then you guys just see I got three other colors of the eyeliner duos from the eye color collection from Charlotte Tilbury. I've really been enjoying these. I've really been enjoying seeing how I can incorporate these into looks. I've gotten used to the matte side not being creamy and soft. Even though they're not as creamy as some other formulas they do last a very long time and the colors are so unique that it makes up for it. And the metallic sides as well I find these to be quite more pigmented than the green one. And I've been enjoying either putting these all over the lid, putting them underneath powder shadows or just putting them along my lower lash line. So I've been enjoying these. They're a fun way to experiment with adding different color eyeliners to your look and these have definitely inspired me to play around with eyeliners some more. For lips the only lip items that I purchased were from Artist Couture. And guys I love these lipsticks. I think that he came out with a really fabulous line of nudes. Right now I'm wearing Saucy Girl which is the darker nude of the two that I purchased. And I mean this is just a really nice ideal everyday nude to me. It's not warm, it's not cool. It's the neutralist kind of nude. It's going to look really good on medium skin tones, light skin tones, deep skin tones. This is a really great nude. And then the other one that I purchased was Angel Baby which is the lightest one. And this is a great center of the lip. New to add dimension to the lip. Like do you see how stunning that is? It's a nice creamy formula. It doesn't give you too much of a sheen on the lips. It actually looks a little bit more of a demi-matte kind of finish. And overall a really good formula. Really great colors. Highly recommend looking into this line of nude lipsticks. I think these are just wonderful. I did leave out a couple of items I believe. Like the Vizier Art Palette. I just haven't tried that yet. And the hair product. Those are underneath my sink right now. But the last thing that I did try that I do have some information on is the Sode Gennaro au de parfum that I purchased. Guys I just love the smell on this but I will say one thing that I don't like is I feel like this doesn't wear the longest and it should because I spent a lot of money on this even while it is on sale. So I don't think this is worth the full price at all just because quality wise it's not very long lasting but the smell is so enjoyable to me and I got it on sale. So for that reason for me this is worth it but just know to answer your questions this doesn't have the longest wear time on your skin but it smells beautiful.
