15 Oddly Satisfying Beauty Videos To Help Your Chill This Holiday Season
Maybe you meditate. Maybe you pamper yourself with a skincare routine. Maybe you cook up your fave comfort meal. However you decide to kick back and relax, one thing’s for sure: Videos like these def don’t hurt. Especially as you head into the holidays (prob one of the most stressful times of the year), it’s more important than ever to find moments to just breathe.
So that’s why we rounded up 15 of our favorite oddly satisfying videos to help transport you straight to chill-ville. All that’s left for you to do is click, watch, and get lost in this mesmerizing goodness. Consider this our pre-holiday gift to you. You deserve it!
1. Dig In
So we’re not saying that we always break into our bronzer like this—but we’re not saying that we don’t enjoy it when we do. Remember that time you accidentally nicked your new product with your nail, and your heart broke just a little? It’s kinda like that, except it’s way more entertaining (and zero percent sad!).
2. How’s This for a Bedtime Story?
Four “S” words for you: Smash. Sparkle. Smooth. Spread. That’s what this one is all about, and we can’t get enough. What’s your fave part of this video? It's the crushed product that spreads like butter for us.
3. This Brush Was Made for Swirling
We’re a fan of swirling our makeup brushes in our product as a form of self-care. But if you’re trying to conserve your faves, we totally get it—and that’s why we did the swirling for you. TBH, this was as much for us as it was for you.
4. That’s One Way to Use Your Crayons
File this one under "the video you didn't know you needed." What is it about totally destroying a creamy product that’s so enchanting? Beats us, but let us know when you figure it out.
5. Scrub. Squeeze. Slide.
We’re ready for our close-up! OK, maybe just our lips are—but that’s better than nothing, right? If you’re looking for something new to post to your feed, we dare you to recreate this video with your fave lip scrub and lip gloss. The result is guaranteed to be totally hypnotic.
6. Cherry Drip
Does this video make you want to get glam? Reach for a red lip? Bust out a new gloss? Maybe all of the above, really. This gloss looks so juicy and delicious, it almost makes us want to give our matte lipsticks a break (key word: almost).
7. CTRL+Z on 2020
’Cause sometimes you just need to hit rewind. We’re still shook at how satisfying it is to watch products be “un-destroyed”—but hey, we’re not mad at it. In the words of one Ipster, “I didn’t know I needed this so badly.”
8. You Haven’t Painted Like This Before
What would you do if the next time you wanted to get creative, someone handed you a lip oil instead of paint? Maybe the result would be something like this video. If you were armed with the right lip product, we’re pretty sure you’d go full Picasso mode.
9. ASMR for Your Eyes
This video makes us want to find a pool of shimmery pink gloss to go jump in. We can see your IG-worthy pics now—dipping into a magical pool of glitter, umbrella drink in your hand, huge palm trees overhead, and not a care in the world. Currently manifesting this.
10. Are You Hypnotized Yet?
Here are your two steps to relaxation: Step one, take a deep breath. Step two, put this video on repeat. Yup, it can be that easy. So next time you’re overwhelmed with work, scrambling to host guests, or just need a break from life, all you need to do is carve out a few moments to transport your mind to a place of zen.
11. Save Every Drop
Even if you just moisturized your lips, this video has a way of making you want to reach for your fave lip oil and douse yourself in it. And if you have the ITEM BEAUTY Lip Quip in your collection, you already know that this baby smells like fresh peaches. Yummmm.
12. Stir Therapy
Look at all that pearly, glimmery goodness—and would you believe that this little jar of liquid gold is actually a face mask? Consider this your cue to bump up your wind-down routine with an extra-luxurious treatment just like this one.
13. Blue Magic
This blue SUNDAY RILEY shade is totally iconic (Luna Sleeping Night Oil, anyone?), but we bet you haven’t seen it look like this before. This oil is known to be a super-effective solution for rejuvenating your skin, but this video shows us that this product can be super relaxing, too.
14. No Sense Crying Over Spilled Serum
Well, maybe a little—but only ’cause this serum is filled with good-for-you ingredients like vitamin B3 and niacinamide. Still, we can’t stop watching. Is it just us, or does this texture look like one of the bounciest, silkiest formulas you’ve ever seen?
15. You Know You Wanna Touch
If you accidentally spent 30 minutes watching this, you’re in good company. And did it make you feel kinda hungry at the same time? No? Just us? Cool.
