So wow, this is quite an event isn't it? Yes. I've been saying very un-Hitachi like you know this is great marketing here It's you don't really expect that from a touchy, but we we sort of seen a transformation here, haven't we? I think a bunch of companies are having to go through transformation in the storage industry I mean if part of the whole message is that it's not just a sort of standalone device a peripheral But it's part of your data center solution You know you really got to send the message that you're a full partner in the data center And that includes being a lot more visible about customers and use cases and all the other pieces that go with it You're seeing a real transformation in the industry minutes You know we always talk about transformation, but this really feels like it truly is one with whether it's cloud and VMware and Virtualization, you know, what are you seeing Laura? Well, I mean I think the thing that HDS has gotten right Maybe more so than their peers is as the data center is transforming It's also the IT domain that's going through a transformation as well So certainly, you know as data centers move to become more virtualized more scale out architectures as service automation becomes more of a critical role Increasingly the IT department is being asked to manage more than just the infrastructure and the thing that I think HDS has gotten Exactly right is it's now about managing the information and you know They have a lot of capabilities that help them in that front We still have a long way to go as an industry But I think that's a differentiator for HDS relative to this whole data center It is different than what you hear from a lot of other other suppliers We were at Oracle open world last week and the message is we want to own everything yet We have to own the data own the database own the infrastructure and HDS taking a little different approach Laura You said it just manage it. No more facile approach So what's your take on this announcement Laura from a software standpoint your software expert and you see all the different players out there What's what are the highlights from a software perspective here? Yeah? I mean, I think certainly their Their page or record level automated tiering is a differentiation for them is a compelling capability, but their whole unified management strategy I mean in storage software is really going through a transformation from a use We see consolidation of the storage management layer and the device management layer and really what that means is things like Automation or increasingly more important things like unified management across different platforms or across different data types is more important And and so their whole unified approach unified management approach I think is really you know a key component for their software strategy and you know They've added enhancements around things like you know installation and improved workflows and wizards But but really the unified approach I think is right on the mark in particular as it relates to the data center transformation They need to take that Unified management integrate it up into higher levels of that infrastructure staff. Yeah, I was impressed with the unified story You know, you don't expect big Hitachi or LTP to be talking about that unified approach I think that's a differentiator. Don't you Rick? I do think that is is one of the areas where they've needed to work to actually increase their vision So you think they were a little bit behind there needed to catch up I'm not sure they were behind technically the challenge of course is being part of the unified message and being in the game Yeah, and clearly, you know the message is we've seen on the unified side Well server virtualization full props for getting people to start thinking about it is it was much more of a you know Unifying their I think you know Hitachi has now put together It's not just that we're talking to game, but here's our design points You know, we recognize that efficiency just doesn't just mean the software and a thin provision It means you actually start designing systems that are more efficient to deploy and manage and run and operate at the hardware level too So so I think they're listening to the full message and being part of the unified story from that standpoint Are you guys hear a lot of talk about silos and information silos and infrastructure silos and application silos?  Around virtualized infrastructure. What are your thoughts on that? I think it's changing, but I think it's evolutionary. I don't think it's like stair-stop functions I think it's low change over time, but I do think it's starting to change You know one of the customers that we just talked to In the one of the keynotes there had talked about you know His goal is to try and eliminate asylos and not to just do things like tearing within the box But across the box and ultimately tear across the data center. So those are some of the high-level objectives But there's a lot of tearing in the box. Yeah So but you know You know so there's certainly a lot of legacy infrastructure out there and so it's going to be you know an evolutionary process That's my take on it Rick Rick We used to when we when I was at IDC you were a networking expert and now you've come come to the storage side Which is timely right because you're seeing all this talk about convergence, you know What's so what's your take on on the silos and convergence and the whole networking and storage thing? I do think one of them and it has been building over the last five six years And I did join the storage team at IDC partly to deal with how is networking going to change the world of storage? And in a lot of ways what what it's done is is saying Some storage is now in a more independent activity It's it's and it is that transition from storage to information management that what we're really trying to say here and this is almost the new silo is I have a group of people whose their job is to make sure that the information is you know captured is Protected is made available and is you know archived over the long term and that's really their job. It's not to Provision a disk drive or provision alone behind some application So I think that's the sort of new vision What convergence is about is to get them out of that other job out of the sort of point and click and? Rebuild and reset everything storage has it network has it servers have it even the applications have it I think we want to tear the silos down at that level But I think you are seeing I don't want to call it a silo But but two new use cases one is information is clearly that information centric workload There's class obviously the classic transaction centric workload and and definitely Oracle and Oracle world what they were talking about is That's not going away, and that's a specialty area, and and you want to at least think about how you're doing that effectively I think the interesting third one is is is compute is analytics And and that that side is a big data, but big data processing I want to crunch it often and frequently to do something with it and and part of the challenge for the storage industry is Is to basically say we're the ones who are tasked with ultimately protecting the information across those three different silos archive compute transaction and Managing the movement of data between those pools of compute resource or or or storage resource That's going to be the interesting development And I think some of the things to touch is working on here are part of making that their job So you think the storage guys are going to work for the networking guys eventually? You know this is that whole cloud debate in a sense of who works for who I'll be honest and saying I think a lot of the Networking guys are going to be a lot busier figuring out how we You know support all these you know iPads and smartphones and everything else out there and controlling it Keep the hell away from our data. I think the network inside the data centers Evolving into an IO management system So we may not call networking companies the way we do today, but it's the people who run and own the IO So Laura, let's talk a little bit more about this announcement And even a company that's 97 billion dollars in revenue can't do it all so I want to talk a little bit about What's missing big Rick just mentioned, you know big data. How about data reduction? That's something that I I didn't hear you know strongly in this announcement Although they do a lot obviously with things like thin provisioning or what they call HDP Hitachi dynamic provisioning. Do you think that's there's an opportunity there? There's upside there for these guys Yeah, absolutely, and I'm sure they have that in their strategy or in their plans But storage optimization technologies at large are really kind of a critical component to storage architecture and purchasing decisions for customers Because when customers are trying to do more with less right and trying to scale their storage while keeping their their administration in check Their budgets aren't scaling with the same level of capacity growth So optimization has to play a key role deduplication is an area where we see you know, we just saw it, you know Really proliferate in the backup space backup data archive data And now we're starting to see it move more into the the primary data, you know on the file side in particular So there's certainly an area of opportunity, but it's not it's not did you it isn't the silver bullet It's in conjunction or in concert with other optimization technologies than provisioning space-efficient snapshots compression technologies and So yeah, I think that's certainly an area of opportunity or future expansion. So let's talk about that a little bit more It really isn't part of this announcement today, but it's an interesting topic. I know you have a perspective on it I'm interested in your point of view. I'm sure listeners would like that So what does it's how'd you do there? Did they partner with like a Falcon store? I saw it in here. That's they're really showing a VTL, but that's a possibility Do they develop their own did they we had Jack domain on it? didn't I didn't get the sense that they were going to go out and make a bunch of acquisitions necessarily but You know or do they just roll roll their own in-house is it already? Is it are they are they late? Are they too late? I don't think they're too late. They're certainly later than others, but You know if you look at statistics our show our research shows that an average of between, you know 30 and 34 percent of all the total disk storage capacity on the floor is allocated for some kind of backup and recovery function So that's a lot of data that continues, right that continues to grow and backup is highly redundant So it's certainly an area of target for dedu They have a partner they have a partnership with Falcon store around deduplication with the Falcon store VTL They've also had other relationships. I think data protection and disaster recovery is an area of Further consideration for HDS as it you know evaluates where it wants to be in that in that opportunity But clearly there's a lot of opportunity as it relates to selling solutions for those particular workloads whether that be Data protection disaster recovery business continuity archive and dedupe is you know a critical component there But to your point, I think you know they have historically relied on a lot of partnerships and You know probably behooved them to to have a more organic approach, but it's not done yet that whole space We saw a sync sort and that app just do a deal acquisitions There was an article on silicon angle this morning about store-wise supposedly IBM is dumping the store-wise brand and they're going with real real-time data compression a real-time compression Is is what they're saying? It's very very IBM like marketing I guess take the sexy name and call it what it is, right, you know But but you're saying that that whole space perma bit albedo HP. What do they call their product sure stores? Yeah, so so you actually are seeing some more innovations there sure so these guys Hitachi has some time maybe to I think so I think it's still really does in particular as it relates to the primary storage to do for primary stores super early days on that front so There's a lot of opportunity for for innovation there and you know Some companies have multiple dedupe technologies, right? So you look at IBM they bought diligent and then they bought store-wise EMC has avamar and data domain, right? So there's a lot of different ways in which to go about Reducing data footprint right so Rick what um, what do you guys telling customers? You know, what's your big advice when you think about this whole cloud convergence storage changes? What's the advice to customers? Well, there's there's a couple different layers of it I mean obviously at this sort of tactical layer One thing that we clearly do still have to tell customers and surprisingly is virtualizer storage You know, it's not just enough to network it You really do have to put in the facilities to you know do the thin provisioning to to make that those moves ads and changes Basically transparent Not just serve a virtualization think about don't forget the story Absolutely I can't tell you the number of people who we talked to three years ago and even today who you know If they're under if they're less than a year into virtualization, there's a next storage isn't a problem It's there we don't worry about and then after that, you know after they hit that thousandth virtual machine Or you know all of a sudden it's like storage is the bottleneck storage You know either we're rebalancing the systems all the time or the backups are blowing up or you know We just don't know how to scale So you know doing the full virtualization and recognizing that that virtualizing the storage is a key part of it It is a big part of the message The other thing we do say at a higher level and we have to go back is this convergence discussion a little bit is is You know, you really have to rethink a little bit of the it structure You know, there clearly is going to be what we'd call the information facilities management team And today that's the classic IT folks that we think of admins. They have to evolve though You know their job isn't to configure Luns or configure servers It's it's to really make sure that you know, you're getting maximum IT load in the smallest footprint and lowest power But the new group that's out there is once you move to this virtualized model You know the people who are building the information services the ones who actually interact with the business units and say, you know We're gonna deliver you, you know, whether it's whether it's a collaboration service or whether it's a you know Decision-support application or whether it's a new service to your partners You know, that's the team that's gonna have more and more power more and more influence about IT choices And I think that's that's sort of the new development, you know the wild card in this a bit again is back to those You know the people who are suddenly gonna have to figure out then how do we deliver these all to smartphones and iPads?  We get virtualization IT efficiency. We got to do all those things We have a roadmap, you know, we've got pieces to work out What worries me is that five years from now, you know, my primary user interface for all my apps has to be these mobile systems I don't have a clue how to do the mobile enterprise little data. Absolutely More big data but delivered in, you know, applets in the app store. So right that's that's right Or even gestural user data that's coming from a device. You guys must have been at VM world, right? I missed it this year. Yeah. Okay. Well one of the big themes, of course, you've heard this is VDI the virtual desktop infrastructure And that's whole thing shifting to the device. It's not even VDI anymore. That's that's sort of laptop and that's yeah Right. It's really it's that's legacy. It's it's, you know, it's it's your access manager Whatever that device may be whatever interface it's it's a lot more. It's bigger than virtual desktops, right? Right and you really heard that in VMWare's messaging, right? They really didn't use the whole VDI That was not as commonly mentioned. The whole ecosystem did because like VMware is always you know ahead of the marketing, right? And so I think you're starting to see that that shift and it needs to right because let's face it I'm the only guy who carries around a laptop We should do a tally of how many iPads in the HDS senior executives and yeah, that's going how about flash Is that is that change everything like everybody says it does or is that just the latest latest fad? From both the hardware and software standpoint Well, there's multiple layers here. So I mean clearly Bringing solid-state drives in into the drive frame in the storage systems is something You know it was started a couple years ago, but that was mostly to fix point problems I mean it's really just now with the transition to SAS architectures and other pieces and the advent of automated Data tiering that you can actually take advantage of that I do think that some ways though the more interesting part of flash right now is not in the classic storage system But it's showing up again closer to the servers or even closer to the VDI devices like a fusion IO approach Well fusion IO, but also you know things like what is it? Fast-cash I always get the multiple systems out there or even what what Oracle is so what's fast-cash? I think that's the net app But if you really think about the system level yes, well They're they're caching for specific types of data and one of the classic things that we ran into in VDI and also in big data centers with Virtual servers is the boot problem is DR If you know that that one time the whole system goes down You know how much time is going to take me to reload 10,000 virtual machine images? And so or now let's do it every day at 9 o'clock when everybody logs on so they're starting to say let's take You know, it's a highly deduplicate highly, you know replicated data set Bottle only 98% the same data for every single one, you know that shouldn't just be let's not put that in the standard Story system let's put out a cache that's really good at managing those at those image assets And there where you get a lot faster response time and performance on those kind of loads I think you're seeing that show up in analytics apps Seeing that show up in other places so this use of it's not tier zero and it's not main memory It's sort of this scratch capacity in the middle of your converged pool is the next interesting development You just have to make sure that that data does get staged to the storage at the end of the day Is that a big enabler or driver Laura on the storage software side? Is that what's driving a lot of the tiering or is it just really neat the need for generalized efficiency initiatives? Well, I think we're seeing it, you know being driven by Isolated areas of performance improvement And we have started to see Some some slow material impacts on the storage software front in particular, you know and as an example You know emcee has done very well with some of their fast V2 Capabilities and very well it's awful a small base, right? So it's still got a ways to go That's the sublun stuff right sublun migration. Yeah, and and you know, I think that's Important and the ability to do this migration between tiers is important But it really has to be in the context of some content some information And so bringing it back to I think Katachi's sort of vision an objective is really to manage Manage infrastructure given information policies, and I think that's ultimately where this needs to go is is not just management And migration of data at a physical level, you know LUN sublun page record level but but based upon a business role and a business policy And you know we're obviously a ways away from that, but but I think that's ultimately where it gets really interesting from a software So data classification policy engines Jack talked a little bit about that at least conceptually But it sounds like it's got a long long way to go in terms of upside potential I think so well you because you have the chance there is otherwise You got to go back and tell everybody to redevelop their apps a whole new architecture, and that's just not gonna happen that much For some cases yes, but for most part. Yeah, there's got to be a big value prop for them to do that And some use cases that there may be there if you want to develop in Ruby own rails and Hadoop go ahead But you know that's not exactly the traditional application base out there I think the value prop is in the data mining and data analytics space being able to do something with this Information that's just growing stale or over time and the value proposition in addition to the data mining and data analytics side Where you can actually mine the data and reuse it for some business value is also risk mitigation So managing information according to compliance rules, and that's always been a big theme with CIOs, right? I mean CIOs think about risk first and then then it's okay. Where's the business value and how do I pay for it? Yeah, I mean 10 years from now everything that's done at the infrastructure level is going to be time-stamped documented monitored And there's going to be a chain of custody around and everything that happens in the infrastructure Yes, you guys produce that study of really John Gantz does that digital universe study I don't know who's going to do it next year John as I understand semi retired is that right and that's quite a quite an undertaking and Do we have data do you guys have data on how fast storage is growing? Is that something like a fun fact that you have at your fingertips? I'm always hearing people quote you on that and that and it's all over the place Yeah, it's got to be a hard thing to track But you guys have the there's more visibility of the factory and the demand you do a lot of surveys Well, I mean we do keep track of the disk drives going out the door Yeah, right something we have a lot of presence on and we do track even you know the disk drives going into Enterprise systems versus going into your PC. So how should we be looking at data growth? Well, that's a that's a different question because you know we just talked about de-duplication and we've talked about thin provisioning in some ways You know data is growing faster than the storage by far Even inside enterprises. It's it's more about again if it's the same data 20 times Let's use something so I don't need so much storage. I think that's what people have woken up to is is You know, you have to be smarter about the storage load in it now having said that, you know You know, there's still a lot of inefficiency in it So, I mean, we're seeing that on average companies capacity growth is goes up is around 50% It was down obviously last year, but it was still over 33% on a per terabyte basis And you know this year is coming back strong and looks like it'll be well easily in that base Over 50 maybe even over 60 the problem we run into and this is for us is the issue is that that's a great measure If you're tracking x-rays or or you know MP3 downloads But if what you're really trying to track is you know those transactions or those data analytic things It's people actually don't need the capacity. Yeah, what they need are the IOs and in the past The way you got IOs was you bought a lot more disc and you short-stroked them and you were wasting 90% of the load So with solid-state disc, you know you're looking at IO and and I think this is one of the challenges for a lot of You know I see IOs and storage admins is we actually have to figure out a way to stop just tracking Dollar per gig for evaluating products. We have to find a better way to do dollar per IO So it's for a lot of the use cases It's really about the IO that you know that the amount of data the new data Those systems generate may is only is only grown at 10 15% a year But I'm growing the capacity 50% because that's the only way I can get the IO that can't continue And that changes the dialogue between the storage administrators and the app admin, right? It's not about capacity. It's about what are your IO requirements and it begins to become much more of an SLA driven discussion Excellent. We're here at the Cube live at the Hitachi information forum with Laura Dubois and Rick Villars of IDC Talking about data growth and the the Hitachi announcement and your guys perspective on the industry anything anything hot that you Want to want to tell the audience about you got any new studies you're working on or Any stuff you want to sell and now's your chance, you know, let's pump you guys up, right? You're doing a great job out there IDC number one market data and what do you guys how many analysts you up to now? Do you have a fun fact there? I know what within the company worldwide? Yeah worldwide thousand A lot of brainpower so well guys. Thanks for coming on the Cube and and sharing your insights with our audience It was great to have you great. Thanks so much. All right. Thanks


Hi everyone Joe for jazby's case breaks comm happy Friday coming at you with 2019 2020 Panini Obsidian soccer one box random number block break number 29 Works just like our number block breaks right here right there. I know there are some questions about it I put it in the description if you're new to this and there you go Big thanks to these folks for getting into it. There are the numbers right there. Let's roll it. Let's randomize it four and a one five times one two three four and a one fifth and final time after five we've got Nicholas down to jack four and a one five times for the numbers Two and five After five we've got three down to zero remember zero gets any and all redemptions including one-of-one redemptions one still gets live one of ones very rare occurrence, but Gotta gotta let people know the disclaimer it is in the description though Nicholas with three Pascal with six and four Tyce with two David Ivers with eight drew with seven and five Chris Boggs with nine Pascal with one and Jack with zero any and all Redemptions in this box will go to you No one's trading right. We'll give it like ten seconds for trip. I don't know one trades in these numbers right here. I Saw some more in the back. I'll add another one before Before I hand it over to Sean All right TWC trade window closed. Let's print. Let's rip. Let's rock. Let's roll See what we got in there Anyone been following that MLS tournament? Are they in are they in quarterfinals now? I don't think there's any MLS in here The quarterfinals are here I'll pay attention in semi-finals. I've been kind of half-watching When was this timbers one? Yes. Yes yesterday No, Philadelphia Union beat the Beat Sporting Kansas City 3-1 and then in pens Wow Orlando beat LAFC 5-4 on pens We will be some more matches tomorrow San Jose at Minnesota. They're in a bubble but NYFC and Portland timbers. All right There's the final print out right there Yeah, I did watch Tiger King I think maybe a maybe a few weeks after everyone else did but I did end up watching that Steven punk What a what a wild What a wild and crazy story All those people have no redeeming qualities. They're all bad people every single one of them All right But it was entertaining Who is that? What are these secret numbers here? I was so mysterious Who's writing is that? mystery Did that come out? Did that come out of a that must have come out of a Anyway, there's Nicholas Pepe out of a box. That wasn't any of our writing back in the day. There was a There was a series of car of blank cards that we saw in a set That we opened from a fresh box that were number three four five six seven There was like some sort of like lost from that TV show loss or like some sort of lost sequence there We actually tweeted out to Panini That's goes to seven that goes to Drew Kerr and And there are like we have to look into that. It was like a it was a fun mystery for a little bit Billy sharp 117 out of 165 for Sheffield. Yeah Sheffield Sheffield had a nice season this year Sheffield's Defense their keeper in particular is quite good Now Sheffield and they and they were they stayed up to if if Sheffield can Sheffield can get a little scoring that could be a really interesting club next summer Maybe battle for Europe a European spot. It's in Cavani for Paris Saint-Germain 24 out of 25. That'll be for Pascal. We've got Eric Lamella his Argentina shirt I need the 130s. I'm just out of top load There's Eric Lamella four out of 149 that'll be for Pascal Few more to go here. There's Marco Verratti One out of 25. That's nice Patrick. They're very Saint-Germain for Pascal as well Pascal was number one. I'm not sure if I like all the Nike influence in in European soccer It's such a distinctly American brand But I think part of watching international soccer was like, oh, well we see Puma jerseys and and Adidas jerseys and You know umbro jerseys and stuff like that. That's just me Maybe that's just me People don't care. There's will in Carvallo. We saw his autograph in the previous box But there's another one there Lightning strike autograph is Portugal Here there's seven out of 25 drew and the last one here is I see the Real Madrid badge And it's a Marco Asensio Nice lightning strike autograph and that's 11 out of 25 So that will go to Pascal and number one and there you have it nice autograph there and there you go boys and girls I'll add another one in the store. So check it out on jaspyscasebreaks.com. I'm Joe. I'll see you next time. Bye. Bye


Look, it's a pick-me-boy. I've never seen one so close before. You can just feel the air of superiority emanating from him. It's a bit gross, actually. SJW Cuck. Some number of months ago, a friend of mine posted on Facebook about the confusion she was feeling regarding her own sexuality. She's identified as bisexual for a long time, but given how her hetero relationships kept falling apart in spectacular fashion, she wondered if the problem was that she actually wasn't bisexual at all, but actually is just super gay. Certainly she likes women a lot more than she likes men, and she wasn't entirely sure that she likes men at all. Now, considering we met on Tinder, it'd be nice to have such a clean explanation for our romantic incompatibility, but it would also definitely be letting me off the hook for my own very clear failings. And so from that and other experiences as well as a general desire to be supportive, I commented, men are terrible.   And men wonder why people think they're fragile. Hello, by the way, and welcome to the weekly review. You can call me, hey, queen, I saw your tweet about how men are trash, and I just wanted to let you know that I agree. Although I myself am a man, I know, ugh, I am on your side. One of the good ones, as some may say. BTW, I never even noticed how fat your boobies are till now, but they're awesome. And today, I am talking about Alex Garland's latest feature, men. It's an interesting move for Garland whose directorial work has thus far been exclusively a series of excellent sci-fi stories. Ex Machina's take on AI and love is exceptionally well crafted, annihilation's use of an alien-born force that warps the world around it in beautiful and grotesque ways to explore grief and the human propensity towards self-destruction made for my favorite movie of 2018 that I saw in 2018. My actual favorite movie of 2018 is my favorite asterisk movie, Assassination Nation, definitely unrelated. My review of everything everywhere all at once will be coming sometime after I have performed. My review of the Anthropocene reviewed in London next month. And Debs is both a fascinating look at free will and a fun reminder that I planned to let my beard grow out for the duration of lockdown back when I was convinced the US response to Covid would be immediately nothing, instead of just eventually nothing. Man is different. For the first time as a director and arguably the first time as a writer, there is no science in this fiction. But that doesn't mean it's realistic. And I'd argue that this may be the least realistic project to date because there is no real attempt to ground its depictions. This is Garland's most overtly horror script since his cinematic debut 20 hecking years ago with 28 Days Later and like Annihilation before it, it's all about the metaphor. This is an A24 release and for better or worse, it feels like one. The gimmick here is that there are a dozen characters and most of them are played by one actor, Rory Kinnear, who I recognized as M's not-money penny assistant from the Daniel Craig Bond films, but more importantly as the prime minister who fucks a pig in the very first episode of Black Mirror. It's an intriguing choice. While we have plenty of instances of one actor playing twins or doppelgangers or whatever in serious roles, the whole one person playing a bunch of characters thing peaked in the early odds, right? Although this film comes out shortly after the new Mike Myers multi-character vehicle, the pentaverate, plopped onto Netflix.   Like why is it so hard to see Bahubali in Telugu? The ones that aren't the Hindi dub are intameel which was shot simultaneously with the Telugu one and so is definitely the better of the available versions and arguably equivalent to the Telugu but it's so weird that it can't just like watch the movie in its original language.  A scene in a town pub where every actor has the same face would typically be reserved for that kind of comedy or the occasional drama like an orphan black but men leans into the horror of such a moment. It's like being John Malkovich's restaurant of Malkovich's if one person wasn't actually of Malkovich and everyone was keenly aware of that fact. It's hard to imagine a more overt way of depicting an other. The other is Harper, played by I'm Thinking of Ending Things star Jesse Buckley. After a truly traumatic final encounter with her let's say ex-husband she goes upcountry to the village of Kotzen to get away from it all for a few weeks. Her landlord Rory Kinnear is certainly odd and apparently bothered by the fact that Mrs. Malo has come without her husband but he seems harmless. Less harmless is the man at the end of the creepy dark tunnel who is eventually awoken by her sing song echoing towards him. He screams and runs at her and though she gets away she finds herself in a dilapidated area where in a photo that she takes for a friend she notices a fully naked man staring at her. It's not entirely clear if the naked man is the same one from the tunnel because the one from the tunnel is wearing clothing but also it doesn't really matter. Who then follows her back to her home and we get one of those classic oh my god just look behind you scenes and and I don't say that as an insult they are classic for a reason and I really appreciate that Garland staged this one during the day. All of these men are played by Kinnear. Every man other than the former Mr. Marlowe is. Even the little boy wearing the Marilyn Monroe mask turns out to be digitally wearing Kinnear's face beneath it but and this is important the casting stunt is a metaphor. While they may all look the same that is only to the audience Harper never mentions this when her landlord shows up after she has been harassed and frightened by a whole lot of people who look to us just like him she's not trying to get him away from her because she doesn't see that they're all the same only we do. It's not subtle Garland's work rarely is. Some people take issue with that but I think it's fine especially in the context of A24 horror. I love most of the films that A24 puts out and the style of horror that has become so associated with them justifiably or not over the years is something I totally vibe with but I say that word intentionally. It's the vibes for me. I don't always understand what they're trying to say but I certainly understand men. Take that sentence however you want. That said men does have A24 vibes especially as it nears its buck wild finale turning towards these sort of long montage of disconnected images that you would expect from an A24 back project before hitting you with something that's like at least on the level of annihilation's climax if not arguably weirder by virtue of being less expected. Instead of jump scares men builds up a constant feeling of dread where you get every bit as paranoid as Harper but even if the danger comes from the dark it comes straight at her. She can see it but can she stop it? Going back to the bluntness of the whole project I think it's worth asking who men is actually for and I think the answer is right there in the name. It's kind of like promising young women in that way except it's also made by a man and so much happier to indict us collectively but sometimes that's what's needed. Obviously people who have felt like Harper can enjoy the craft and all that but they are not going to learn anything here. Oh scary man running at me and screaming while I'm walking alone through the woods yeah that sounds about right oh super cool the only other woman in this town is a cop who thinks that the scary naked man covered in cuts is harmless and I shouldn't worry about it.


of this city, of this house today. Prime Minister Ananya and Secretary Schulz, another man. Throughout, I have been struck with the strength, the intelligence, and the determination of the Prime Minister, not only in explaining her views, but in seeking a clear understanding of ours. The dialogue and discovery that we began at Cancun, matured in our discussions today. And will I trust very important fruit in the days and years ahead? During our recent visit to Europe, I had the honor of addressing a joint session of the British Parliament. It seemed fitting to build my speech around the concept of democracy, which that mother of parliament represents. We sought to articulate the deep and dividing faith that the American people place in our democratic institutions and the idea that an immutable bomb draws democratic countries together. One of the nations I singled out was India. I chose India in that speech for two reasons. India's experience as independence exemplifies the gathering strength of the democratic revolution. And India stands in eloquent refutation of all those who argue that democratic institutions are not equal to the task of dealing with today's problems, or are irrelevant to the needs of today's developing nations. For these reasons, India serves as a beacon not only to developing nations which seek to emulate its experience, but to all of us who seek renewal of our faith in democracy. You can understand, Madam Prime Minister, why we are honored to have you here. It's not only because you're the leader of a great nation, one whose history, civilization, size, and influence on the world will command our attention and respect, but also because you're the representative of a family which has been in so many ways the architect of that nation. The contributions which your family has made to India most closely parallel in our history, the Adams family. They came from Massachusetts, not Kashmir. They came by coincidence. They were often referred to as Boston Browns. Good. Good. And theirs too was a tradition of scholarship, sacrifice, and public service. Successive generations of Adams' contributed to our national development. First by struggling for independence and articulating our national ideals, then through years of selfless effort toward their attainment. So you, Madam Prime Minister, your father and each son have served India. Lord Bollybrook's description of the Adams family is equally appropriate for your family's contribution to India. They are the guardian angels of the country they inhabit, studious to avert the most distant evil, and to procure peace, plenty, and the greatest of human blessings, liberty. The recent summit at Versailles proved once again, as told the British Parliament, that even in times of severe economic strain, free peoples can work together freely and voluntarily to address problems as serious as inflation, unemployment, trade, and economic development in a spirit of cooperation and solidarity. In our bilateral relationship as well, democratic principles are the foundation on which we can build the framework of a lasting and compassionate relationship. The day-to-day reality of our close ties, whether in the fields of education, the arts, science, or commerce, all flow from the same basic understanding that although our countries may travel separate paths from time to time, our destination remains the same. For my part, Madam Prime Minister, our talks today were particularly useful in reaffirming the importance of our relationship. Our frank discussions have contributed greatly to the stripping away of stereotypes which have sometimes surrounded our relations. We look forward now to a renewal of cooperation based on the shared understanding of our common values and our common aspirations. In this spirit, Madam Prime Minister, I raise my glass to you as the distinguished leader of the racist democracy and of the friendship between our two proud free leaders. Distinguished guests, entering the White House, one cannot but think of the men of vision and energy and the women of character and grace who have lived here, who have influenced people's minds and the course of world events. Also, indeed, are the responsibilities of the United States and its President. In far off India, at a time when communications were not as satisfactory, our own freedom struggle drew inspiration from the makers of your nation, how far-seeing and wise they were and how well they built. The first President who chose this site had a simple wish, and I quote, I hope ever to see America amongst the foremost nations in examples of justice and liberality. Since those words were uttered, the United States has become the world's foremost country in wealth and technology and in bigger intellect. The combination of these qualities is indeed something of which you can be justifiably proud. America has grown through challenge, not conformism. To quote a historian, America was born of revolt, flourishing in dissent and became great through experimentation. Our challenges in India have not been less. We have charted our own course, fortunate in leaders who took sustenance from our timeless philosophy as well as modern concepts, putting them to work as instruments of action. Our national movement reinforced the age-old unity which had held our country together through the ups and downs of history across the shifting borders of hundreds of kingdoms and building and bridging succeeding dynasties. After independence, it was our task to usher in a more egalitarian society which would ensure social and economic justice to all, regardless of religion, caste, language or sex. For us, economic progress means not only material well-being, but moving nearly 500 million from one age to another, with a minimum dislocation or alienation from their roots. Few things are good or bad in themselves. Their effect and importance lies in what one makes of them. Tradition, especially ours, which has been a factor for unity, for tolerance and harmony and for our people's cultural literacy, can be used as a tool paradoxical though it may sound for change and modernity. Life for a person or a country is a series of choices, not between the correct and the incorrect which a computer can make, but in terms of opting for a course which will be consistent with our ethos and individuality, our past history and future aspirations. Our struggle for independence was nonviolent. We chose democracy based on the British system but with some modifications. And the American constitution influenced the shaping of our own constitution. Outlining is not for regimentation but to help us to take rational decisions and meet the competing demands of different sections of society and regions. In India, as in the U.S.A., we have a private sector as well as a public sector. I see no conflict between the two. We have persevered in the face of criticism of aggression of different types of interferences. We are not satisfied with our success. We couldn't have done better. Yet notwithstanding the tremendous thoughts we have moved forward. There's been significant progress in agriculture and industry, in science and technology and in the social services. The very fact that life expectancy has gone up by 20 years indicates improvement in living and working conditions. We aim at self-reliance. So it is befitting that 90% of the resources needed for this gigantic endeavour of modernising countries have come from our own people. Empowered though they are thought to be. But the remaining 10% or so is important. But that represents the inflow of modern technology. In this we have been helped by the United States, by countries of Western and Eastern Europe and several international institutions. We particularly appreciate American technical assistance. In consonance with our independent stand, we take cooperation in science, trade or defence requirements from wherever it suits our national interests. If India were considered in economic or military terms, it would not count. Yet our voice is heard because in spite of our poverty and economic backwardness and often looking beyond our immediate interests we have fearlessly spoken up for the rights of the underprivileged and the threatened and have championed the cause of peace and freedom. We have always viewed our problems in a much larger perspective of global problems. Our foreign policy is one of friendship for all, hence our non-alignment. We are against the involvement of foreign troops or any other interference in internal affairs of other countries. We believe in negotiations rather than the use of arms in settling disputes. India is a large area of stability in South Asia. Undoubtedly its strengthening will help to stabilize and strengthen the entire region. It is good that meetings between heads of state and government, individually and at conferences are taking place more often. They do take us away from urgent tasks at home, but national and international problems are increasingly interlinked. Kan Kun dealt with various global issues both side with economic and other problems of the North touching also on North-South questions. At the New Delhi meeting of developing countries the focus was on cooperation between themselves. On earlier equations I have pointed out that the future of advanced and developing countries is so closely intertwined that cooperation would benefit both. This is not merely a question of social justice and equity. My own view is that developing countries can contribute significantly to the emerging world economic order. There are the potentially large markets which would help developed countries like the United States to maintain higher profitability on their investment, higher rates of growth and to generate more employment. To our minds there are three main causes of the present disturbing situation. The growth of armaments the increasing disparity between the rich and the poor, both between and within nations and the thoughtless wounding of our earth. The world is one yet we treated as many, giving different gains to the segments. As they are politically used the worlds east and west north and south are not even geographically active. More than 3,000 years ago when the world was greener, the sages of my country wrote and owed to the earth. It is so pertinent today that I should like to share some lines with you. And I quote Do not push me from the west or from the east or from the north or the south. Be gracious to us or earth. Let not those find us who really people of the world take deadly weapons far away from us. Mr. President may I say how much I appreciate your invitation to me. In a world where crises so swiftly follow one another it is important to keep in touch and exchange views even if one cannot agree on all points. We have had, as you just told us, discussions which have been important and useful to us and I think which have created better understanding. I thank you once again and Mrs. Raven for your gracious hospitality for the delightful evening in such elegant and impressive surroundings. May I now ask you all, ladies and gentlemen to join me in a toast to the health of the President and the gracious First Lady to the well-being of the American people and to friendship between our two countries. It's one of the world's greatest orchestras. It's particularly the director who will scale. He was born in Bombay, Parsi parents, trained in Europe, in the Middle East, in America, and Zubin Mehta is one of the musical world's leading practitioners of shuttle diplomacy. We're proud and grateful for so much that so much of his artistic life has been spent here on our shores. I'd also like to say a special word of thanks about the City Bank of New York which made this visit of the Philharmonic possible here in Washington tonight. Like India, America is a big and diverse land. It's drawing from many cultural roots and the City Bank's support of the Philharmonic is a fine example of how the private sector can voluntarily


Hey guys, what is up, welcome to my channel. For today's video, we are doing a rather large makeup haul, beauty haul, I suppose. Some of these items I've purchased, they're newer to the market. Some of these were given to me in PR. These are the products that I'm going to be testing and updating you guys on in the next couple of months. If you wanna see what these items are, then just keep watching. Today's video is very kindly sponsored by Hum Nutrition. Now, I was really excited about this partnership because I have been using and taking some of their gummy vitamins for the last couple of months and I've been loving them. Honestly, Jose and I have been fighting over them because they taste so good, but we'll get into that. Now, if you guys don't know, I'm actually a physical education teacher, so health and wellness are a very important part of my life outside of makeup. So the reason that I originally gravitated towards Hum Nutrition was because of their own natural clinically proven ingredients, non-GMO formulas, free of common allergens, sustainability source, and all vegan ingredients, which I think is incredible. They are actually Sephora's number one wellness brand. The reason why I take vitamins and supplements is because sometimes food just doesn't have all of the vitamins that you need. I look to vitamins and supplements for those vital nutrients that I feel like my body needs. I was really surprised by this. When you look on the Sephora website, Hum has numerous different formulations for different goals that you might have, like clear skin, improved sleep, hair growth, balanced mood, healthier body. Even I was like, whoa, I need to take a lot of these. My mission is to make everyone feel and look their best. So I'm gonna share with you some of the ones that I'm currently taking. The main one that I'm gonna talk about today is the Digly Cleanse. Now, this one's goal is to help clear your skin and body from toxins. I don't know if you guys have been watching my videos the last few weeks, but my skin just went through all of a sudden, so I started taking this. This is fairly new, so stay tuned. I've only been taking it for about a week. I'm going to update you guys a month from now, so stay tuned for a favorites video and I'll let you know how these are working. But so far so good, my skin is clearing up. So yeah, the key ingredient here is chlorella. This is a blue-grade algae, which binds to heavy metals that can damage the skin and helps to remove them from the body. It also aids in digestion and supports detoxification. And the reason why I was drawing to this is because it is ideal for breakout-prone skin. I'm the poster child for that. The vitamins and minerals help soothe and balance skin for the healthy, clear complexion that I hopefully am on my way to getting. I also did want to talk to you about one that I know that works, I love it. This is the Glow Sweet Glow, Jose. And I fight over these. He likes to eat these at snacks in the middle of the night and it makes me so mad. So I guess he has glowing skin, too, from these. So I really love these. They taste delicious and they're just a great way to start my morning. I just recently started testing the Hair Sweet Hair. This one is supposed to be for hair growth. So this is another one that I'm going to have to keep you updated on. And I picked this one out for Jose. So this is the Beauty, this is a, which helps promote a restful sleep. It has melatonin in it, it's really fantastic. If this is something that you might be interested in, maybe take a peek over at their website. Like I said, they have so many different options that are personalized to whatever your goals are, which are proven by clinical research and results. And so far, so good. I've really been enjoying taking their supplements and vitamins for the last couple of months. So I'm excited to have some new ones to try. All right, so let's get into the haul. I just threw on a Fenty lip gloss because the other one was bleeding a little bit on me. I wasn't a fan of how it was looking. So we're gonna start off with the first half of the haul, being items that I personally purchased and then we'll get into the PR, the second half. Some of this you might have seen, some of it you might not have. I originally wasn't going to include products that I've already done full dedicated videos on, but I decided to, just in case you missed that, hopefully I could redirect you and you can just see what new makeup I'm planning on testing. So we'll start off with the newest products that came in. I did end up purchasing from the new Mark Jacobs collection and it's like a coffee themed caffeine collection. So cute. So I have the Mark Jacobs Extra Shot Concealer and Foundation. So you're supposed to be able to use this as concealer and foundation. I'm wearing it today as concealer and foundation. It is beautiful. By the way, after this video, I will have my full makeup tutorial on the look that I created because I used a lot of these products in today's video. But what do you guys think? I think it's a little bit thick for foundation but I do like it as concealer so far. I'm still in the first couple hours of wearing these products so I'm gonna have to keep you updated. But so far, so good. I also picked up, of course, their Face Palette. I had to. This is just, it's good. This is good. So this is the Fantastic Glow and I am wearing this today. All of these three. I wasn't as in love with the highlighter. I feel like it was a bit lackluster but the bronzer and the blush are beautiful. The blush is still the main focus as is the bronzer. So it's really, really nice. I still wanna play with it a little bit more because I was a bit disappointed in the highlighter but everything else feels great. So we'll continue to use this. Make sure you stay tuned for that makeup application video because I feature both of these pretty heavily. You guys did see I ordered all from Auric. I have a full review on this. I'm loving, loving, loving the Glow Loss. I got the shade Selenite. And then, okay, I know, I made an uh-oh in the video and I accidentally literally used Temper twice instead of using Defiance and Temper. I said that the colors were very, very similar, obviously because I used both Temper. But I still stand by what I said. The reason why I said that is because Temper and Defiance, they are pretty close but they are not as close as you saw in that video. So I'm gonna quickly swatch Defiance for you so you can see that color because that is the one that I missed showing you guys. Literally true uh-oh. And I don't know how I missed it. I don't.  Really pretty, a little bit more bronzy and brown. Then let me show you Temper right next to it because I don't know how I didn't notice in my swatches. They looked the same because they were the same but they are pretty close in the eye.  Just not as close as I presented to you. Now these are hard-panned. The top part, I don't like that. But still, like on the eye, they're not that different. You know, still stand by it. But yes, I did want to show you that because I didn't get to. I also picked up, as you know, the new Pat McGrath Divine Rose II collection. I didn't purchase everything but I purchased Eternal Eden Quad. So let me show you. Cute little quad. And then look at this gorgeous pinky color. Not the most original color story but it still is a nice product. Nonetheless, if you are interested in it, just check out my review. The highlighter was definitely the standout for me in this collection. It is most definitely gonna be in my February favorites. Probably the best highlighter she's ever, ever come out with seriously. And then we have two of the liquid lipsticks which I'm happy I actually did film my reviews before doing this haul because I can tell you what I think really quickly. And I do not like these. I just think they're so drying. They emphasize lines on the lips and I'm pretty young. My lines on my lips aren't the worst, you know? So I don't, I don't really like that formula. It's very lightweight but I don't really like that formula. And then as you know, I've been starting to get into Chanel. Oh, bougie. I'm getting into Chanel Beauty because I cannot afford a purse. And I would love to be able to afford a purse but until then I will have this Pearls de Lumiere. It's supposed to be a blush. It's more so of a highlighter on my skin tone and I mean, the look of it is enough of a reason to purchase it. So the first thing in the collection is, oh, okay. Is this Beauty. I don't even have to like this. I just like the way that it looks and I'm happy to have it. It's really beautiful. And now I didn't think it was my favorite highlighter in the world, but it's very natural, very pretty, subtle, elegant. My favorite product actually in the collection that I tried is the Style Ombre and Contour. It's a liner cold. And I got it in the shade number 40. It's just an easy one and done eye shadow pencil. Really easy to just swipe on and blend out. It stays put. Definitely, definitely check out that review to really get my true and depth thoughts and demo on it because this was my favorite. Something that wasn't my favorite. This was definitely my least favorite part of the collection was a bomb essential in the shade, print and yay. This looks like it's gonna be a gorgeous, dewy, glowy, pinky color. For those of you who don't wanna spend money on Chanel, this is gonna make you feel really good. But you don't, because this honestly just, it's not something that I'm going to grab for very often and especially the fact that it's sheer. I paid a lot of money for a sheer gloss for my face. Not my favorites, but the last product that I did pick up in that collection is a Rouge Cocoa Lipstick in the shade Tendris. I love a good classic Chanel lipstick. It's just one of those things where you feel good putting it on. It's a really good formula. I do love the Chanel formula, but of course with Chanel Beauty products, they are upcharged. Very nice products, very refined, but very pricey because we got the CC logo at the top and nothing makes me feel more bougie than pulling out a Chanel lipstick, so I'm all for it. I am. So one product that I haven't showed you, I've worn it a couple of times. I randomly picked this up at the drugstore. This is a new product from Maybelline. It's the ultimate. Maybelline's one of my favorite drugstore brands and these are okay. I think I have Maybelline sending me a few colors but I did wanna pick this one up on my own. This is the shade More Buff and it's nice but if you have dry patches on your lips, it will show them. So make sure you exfoliate your lips before you use that but it's still a really nice lamp product for the price but I don't highly recommend it. You know, it's just a little bit matte. I picked this up from Beauty Lush. I just wanted to show you that these were available in case anybody was on the hunt for really, really tiny Q-tips. Great for eyeliner. I bought these for my makeup kit so they're by the brand My Kit Co and if you're a makeup artist, you need to check out this brand and these were just a few bucks. I should share that with you, I don't know. Onto the final products of the purchase portion of this haul. Hold on, it's gonna take a little bit of an explanation. So as you know, or you, oh, okay, this is heavy. As you know, or you might not know, indie brands, they take a while to come in the mail. They do. I'm gonna do a swatch and sip so I'm not swatching these for you but two brands came in. I got the, I think it's the Aurora Flair Bando from Davina Cosmetics. So that's what this row is, right there. They're like multi-promey, pretty. And then you can see the square ones, my order from Cleonad finally came in and I've heard so much buzz about Cleonad and from swatching so far, I'm really impressed but I'm gonna save this for a separate video but all of my indie makeup lovers get ready because I'm so excited for this. Okay, give me a second, I need to switch things and we're gonna pull in some PR. If you follow me on Instagram and you watch my stories, I've shown you most of this stuff in my stories but in case you don't, first of all, you should. Morgan Turner Makeup. I did wanna showcase some of the PR that I got. I'm so thankful to you guys, obviously, because I wouldn't get this if it weren't for you guys and I'm, honestly, I'm in shock at just having the problem of having too many products in my room and it creating a mess. I never thought that that would truly a dream come true. I love this problem. But let's get started. So this is the newest package that actually recently came in and it's a hot mess because I don't get to hear already but I got a PR package from freaking Giorgio Armani. What? Literally, what? Okay, so they sent over their Crema Nera Terra Pencil Lieria. I'm just kidding. Okay, they might kick me off just for that but this is a Supreme Renewing Mask. So, boujee, oh my goodness. And then they also sent over a bunch of their lip maestros. This is one of the items that I've been wanting to try from them and we got all types of colors to play with. So I cannot wait. These feel like a very comfortable formula so far and we have a very nice range here. Really excited about that. And then the last kind of different thing that they sent was a Eyes to Kill mascara and I love this packaging. It's so boujee. So thank you so much to you guys. Thank you so much to the team over at Armani Butte. I am not worthy, y'all. Not not worthy. Okay, we also got a package from Base Blue Cosmetics. They're always so kind and some of the cute little stuff that they come out with. So we have these makeup remover wipes and I love a good makeup remover and wipes. So one is for the daytime. This is a Day Beauty Cleansing Wipe for water active cleansing wipe, gentle to use on the skin to remove excess oil and to refresh the skin. Then we have the Wet Night makeup removing wipe. So this one is to remove makeup. So I'm happy and excited to use these. I'm gonna set these on my desk and I'm sure I'll use these quite frequently. I did get a few packages from Odin's Eye. I did do a hold of you on their new Norns collection. I'm not gonna show you that, this is just so much but they did also send me their lipsticks. These kind of got lost in the shuffle of all the releases that they were having. So I wanted to share with you, the line as a whole seems to be a little bit darker and a little bit more deeper colors. They have like a matte formula and a cream formula. You'll see I haven't even touched this. So this is red cherry. How beautiful is that? And you guys know, I love Odin's Eye. I think they have the most beautiful, well thought out unique launches without being an arm and a leg. So these are the velvet formula. Look at this. My goodness, Fig Jam. This is a stunning color. I wanna use this. The problem is I can never use deep lip colors because I always go so crazy with my eye shadow but this lipstick line is making me want to use it. So this is like peach. This is the lightest shade that you're gonna get and it still runs pretty deep on my skin tone and then let me show you the cream lipsticks here. So here are the cream lipsticks. You have Love, Jasmine, Tulip Kiss and then what is this? Brown Rose, really gorgeous. So far the velvet formula is a little bit too drying for me. I've yet to try this formula. So I'll have to keep you guys updated. I mean, just the detail on this all together, Odin's Eye is a brand that I have so much respect and love for and I feel like they've really grown in the last few months and I'm really excited about that because they really do bring some unique and fresh ideas to the industry. So I highly recommend you looking into their products if you have not yet. So thank you Odin's Eye for this lovely lipstick package. Being on Kopari's Yarlis is the best thing that's ever happened because I love their deodorants. So I haven't had to repurchase their deodorant but they sense this cute little lip bag and in it we have a Kopari mirror. We've got some merch here. I used this today, the Kopari lip gloss. It's a little bit too liquidy for my preferences but it's very nice just to throw on for a day-to-day wear and then we have the new Paradise Pout Lip Kit and they do have a very nice formula that's very moisturizing and you have some fun Paradise themed kind of flavors. So really excited about that. Thank you so much Kopari. This bag is my favorite thing. It's so cute. Aether Beauty. Okay, I've been wanting to try this brand. This brand was on my must try list. So the fact that they sent these, I am so pumped for. I used this today. This is the Supernova Crush Diamond Highlighter. They're a very sustainably conscious brand. Even the box that they had, you would send it back to be recycled. It was so cool. I wish I had taken a video but this highlighter is so pretty. It's what I'm wearing now. It's what's giving me that glow. So, so far this is good. I have yet to try the Crystal Charge Cheek Palette but again, this looks really beautiful and this is how sustainably conscious they are. They don't even put a mirror or magnets. They just, old school, like I don't know that reminds me when I was a kid but this Cheek product also looks really stunning. I cannot wait to dig into this. So again, keep an eye out because I definitely plan on using this very, very soon. I got a package from Revlon, so fierce. Now Revlon has been, they've been really impressing me lately and let me show you why. So they have these new iPods and I talked about this on my story. Now these are a little bit more sheer so I'm not in love with the formula. I still have yet to put them on the eyes so maybe that could change but how pretty are these color stories? This one in particular caught my eye as has this one right here. These are made in Italy. That's so awesome. Normally these brands, they don't source from Italy so I'm really excited to try these out even though I'm not so impressed with this swatch. I'm interested to see how they apply to the eyes and something else that I was really surprised by I played with these today a little bit. These are their chrome inks so you have the three colors and it's weird, it's like a powder. It's not liquidy and let me show you that's what has stained my hand. And then it dries down really fast and I don't see myself using these too often because I don't use these kind of colors but really neat and then the last thing in the package that we have is these so fierce big bad lashes, not gonna open this. I'll probably give this away just because I'm overloaded and overwhelmed by mascaras right now but really cool and lucky. That was so fast. The next item that I got in PR, I mean, hello. I used it for my look today, it's stunning so this is the Kaleidos Club Nebula collaboration with Angelica Nikis so it came in this cool box. Kaleidos always has the coolest packaging and I got a nice card set and the presentation always never ceases to impress me and if you haven't seen this palette and you've been living under a rock if you don't know Angie, get to know her. I mean, you already know her by looking at this palette. This is her and a palette. It's really beautiful, the quality is really great and congratulations to Angie. It took me so long to be able to try this because I've just been so drowned by work and I used it today and I finally feel complete. I have been dying to try this palette and it's stunning. The next PR package that I received. Okay, can we just talk about what a dream come true? It is honestly to be able to be on Colour Pups PR list so they sent me their Off Melrose collection. I did do some swatches on my Instagram story. This has released in the collection. What they sent me was an oat face milk. I love these face milks from fourth grade. They're very lightweight, very moisturizing. Also, we have some scrunchies. I love scrunchies. We have this blush. I used it yesterday. This is in the shade Juice Bar. It's a gorgeous mobby colored, so pretty. This is the star of the show. This is the Melrose palette. Really great, cooler tones, neutrals. This glittery shade is everything and I haven't used it on my eyes yet. I'm gonna do that very soon, whether it be on an Instagram post or on here. But this is a very pretty palette. It's not anything that you need, but if you're into the Colour Story, I can see as something very wearable, very easy to grab for. And then I also got two lip glosses. So we have Eclectic and then Cross Street is the bottom one. These are very, very sheer, so you're not gonna get a ton of pigment with these. But they're very nice, easy to throw on, kind of lip gloss. Last couple of packages that I received. Alter Ego sent me their newest collection and you guys know I'm very, I'm reserved about the brand as a whole, but I did wanna share it with you guys because I know I do have some followers who really appreciate that brand. So they came out with the Blooms palette and if you aren't familiar with the Blooms palette, obviously it's going to be a dupe for the Natasha Denona Love palette and then the Canyon palette is right here. This is a dupe of the Bronze palette. You guys can go check out my Alter Ego video that I did, I gave my very unfiltered opinions. I tried to be as unbiased as possible. I don't wanna talk about it too much because people get heated in the comments. Neutral opinion is that the quality is very nice for the price. I'm personally able to purchase Natasha Denona, so if Alter Ego didn't send these to me, like I wouldn't have purchased it. If you are unable to purchase Natasha Denona and you really want the color story, I think they are a very good option. But what did impress me the most were the brushes. Honestly, you guys, these feel not super high quality. They are not my refer Sonia G brushes, but as far as an affordable brush line, they just feel really, really nice. So if you're on the market for affordable brushes, these feel really sturdy and I have so many brushes, you guys, but I'm gonna keep these as backups for my makeup kit because I had this, oh my goodness, horror story time. One time I went to a wedding and I had forgotten all my brushes and these are the kind of sets that I kind of like to keep zipped up in the side of my makeup bag always.  So I'm scarred from that experience, so these are the kind of brushes that I use for that purpose. Maybelline, they sent me a bunch of also eyebrow pencils, but I've been using those in talking about those so I didn't bring them in, but they also sent the Lasting Finish Banana translucent setting powder. I'm going to actually put this in a giveaway because I won't use this. I don't really like banana powders, but thank you, Maybelline, anyways. Still very kind of you. And this is one of the PR packages that I was most excited about. I love introducing my audience, you guys, obviously, to new brands. And the brand Haley's Beauty reached out to me and they sent me a bunch of complexion products. So we had this Haley's Beauty bag and the reason that I heard of Haley's Beauty is because one of my favorite YouTubers, Juicy Jazz, she loves their complexion products. So I was excited to try these and I've tried some and there's some that I'm still working on. But in the package we got the complexion sponge. So I'm picking it with my sponges. So we'll see what I think about that. I haven't tried these yet. These look like they'll be a bit too deep for me, but I'll give them a try just to try the formula because I know Juicy Jazz loves these. So these are the Matte Foundation and they're in really sleek, tiny packaging that you can just slip into your purse. This is what I used yesterday. I tried this out. This is the Luminous Foundation. It's a liquid foundation, obviously. It's in shade 3.25. Maybe it had hair too deep for me, oxidized a little bit, but so far I thought my complexion looked really fantastic with this, honestly. So I'm excited to play with this some more. I will only use it once, but so far so good. If my experience stays consistent to what I had yesterday, I see why... Why are we scraping the front yard while I'm doing this? I can see why Juicy Jazz love these. I also got two foundation sticks sent to me. I used them for today's video as cream contour because it got very dark shade sent to me. And I really like them for cream contour. They blend out very well. You just need to find the correct color, but make sure you watch my demo video just to see how these work. But I really like these. I'm happy they sent these to me. We also have the Revive Cream Concealer. So far this seemed very good. It didn't wow me, but it worked yesterday. This is definitely something that I'm gonna have to pay more attention to. I kind of just put it on yesterday and forgot that this was also a new product that I tried because I was so stuck on paying attention to the foundation. And then the last thing that they sent me was a face oil. Oh, I didn't realize. I thought it was a mascara. How does it work? This is the BB Drops Tinted Face Oil. Hold on. Oh, hmm.  Now this is in the shade Light Neutral. It doesn't really scream light neutral to me. It's a little bit orange. Regardless though, really excited about this brand. If you don't know, they're a woman-owned brand and their products are made in USA of US and imported ingredients. So, so far so good. Again, super excited to try this brand. So thank you. Hey, these are beauty. And the last, finally, oh my goodness. The last package that I have to share with you is from Black Label. They sent me a couple of their mink false lashes. I picked out the most natural because this brand has very unnatural lashes and these are still quite glam, but they look beautiful. So the first shade, I really just said shade. That they sent to me is Gray's Inn and look how beautiful they are now. They're very, very black. But this one, it gets thicker in the outer corners. It looks so pretty. And this one is the one I'm most excited about. This is a style finesse. Now she is still super-duper glam for what I'm used to, but these styles look absolutely stunning. So I'm really excited to give these a try. Oh, one last package. I totally lied. You guys, I don't know what I'm about to do with this because it's so cute. Like, I want to keep this box, okay? I just want to keep it because it's so cute. So this is from Milani. This is their new super-charged collection. I used a couple of these products for my review today, but it's a giant orange with such cute products. So we have a mist right here. We have a brightening prep mask. We have a primer, which is really nice. I actually really like this. We have some brightening under eye tints. Really great as well. I use the shade Peach. I love it as a corrector. And then we have some lip and cheek tints. I haven't tried these yet, but I think these are all really great products for the summer. I know we're in February and it is snowing every single day up here in Maryland. But, oh my, I am so excited about this package. I mean, the products are great, but like I'm so excited about this giant orange. This does not go with the aesthetic of my room and I want to display it so bad. Anyways, thank you Milani. I love it. I love it. I love it. That is all we have for today's video. I hope you guys enjoyed it. Again, a huge thank you to Hum Nutrition for sponsoring our today's video, today's haul. That's all we have. If you aren't subscribed to my channel already, I would love it if you would consider taking the time to do so. And I will see you all in the next one. Bye guys, have a good one.


More than 50 U.S. and Djiboutian sailors and coast guardsmen participated in Cutlass Express 2015 off the coast of Djibouti this month. The objectives pertain to maritime domain awareness, regional information sharing and deployment of maritime assets to counter illicit activity. After three days of classrooms and practicing in the simulator, participants took their training to the next level in the Gulf of Tijura. Scenarios covered in Cutlass Express included anti-piracy efforts, illicit trafficking and illegal fishing detection and proliferation security initiative procedures, which seek to stop shipments of weapons of mass destruction.
