Hi, hello everyone.

I am Billie and I am going to show you guys my post -show nighttime bedtime beauty routine.

Just got off stage.

Let's do it.

First step, this bad boy that I got off Amazon. on.

And I like to get that big old forehead fully in frame

because we don't want to miss any inch of my forehead.

And then all I do is tuck these little bad boys in to remove this face

that I did earlier for the show.

I use these face wipes for my makeup.

They are like totally vegan cruelty free they're very soft and gentle

i have had a skincare routine since i was like 12 -ish before

that i never thought about it and it was actually my brother

that told me to care about it

because he went through some really really bad skin years

and he was like four years older than me and

so he was like dude you better take care of your fucking skin man

that i listened to and i did he basically showed me all of the stuff

that i started using then which was like just random drugstore stuff

that we didn't really know anything about

and then it was my makeup guy recommended this woman named biba

and biba is this facialist who also makes all her own products

and my skin had a complete like transformation

when i started using people products like it's so insane i am

so grateful for her

so now we are clean faced i don't have glam on

tour um on the road with me i do my own hair

and makeup so that's part of my day

and this is the rest of my day i have this mask

and this is like a sulfur and zinc mask and i'll just

right now my skin is feeling really good

because i am kind of allergic to gluten and

when i eat gluten my skin gets really bad

so i haven't been and it's been helping a lot

and dairy also is bad for your skin and when i stopped eating dairy my skin had a complete shift

i have to do a skincare routine every single night there's no i saw this post

that was like here's a scenario like your your loved one goes missing

and they say that you're not gonna be able to find them all night

and they're gonna search

but they have to like stop for the night you have

to go to sleep we'll start again tomorrow do you do your skincare routine

girl sometimes i'll do like my entire every inch of my

face sometimes i'll just do like a couple dots here and there.

I find my skincare routine to be incredibly rejuvenating.

So for me, I find a lot of like peace in it

and it kind of like brings me back down to myself.

I feel like a person when I do it,

especially after like a night of performing and having really high highs and a lot of adrenaline.

It's kind of a lot for a person.

I really look forward to my skincare routine to be honest with you i really do after

that is off i normally would go in with uh these bad boys

and i would do severe damage to myself i usually find

myself standing here like digging into my face for hours

and hours but um i feel pretty good right now i don't feel like i need to do

that at this exact moment i'm gonna use some cleanser

and i use mandelic cleansing gel I will use about this much ish I used to wash my face

so violently and a friend commented one time

and she's like why are you

so rough with your face I used to be like like

a dude have you seen men wash their fucking faces they go like don't have to do

that be gentle gentle and then you I gotta get under here. And we rinse.

Cold water.

Don't use warm water, don't use hot water.

Use cold water.

I use these little face wipe pads.

I don't use the disposable ones.

These were made by a friend of ours.

Getting rid of a shirt, don't throw it away.

Just like cut little circles out of it.

I have so many of these, so many.

And then you just throw them all in a bag when you've used them after like a week,

throw them in the washer grab them and you're good to go i take this toner but like about

that much you don't need much

and then i take this daily moisturizer

which is amazing you can use this throughout the day whenever you would like

and i take like two pumps ish We'll see you next time.

The thing that has, again, changed my life from Viva, this is her cream barrier.

I love this stuff.

It's really like a nighttime moisturizer, but I use it all the time.

I actually use this before I put my makeup on.

I like to look really shiny.

I'll take like that much.

Like, I love this shit.

and then after my daily moisturizer

and my cream barrier i will use this hydrating toner

which i don't know if you're supposed to do after this

but i just love being moisturized like i want to look

like somebody just dipped me in honey taking care of your skin is is

so so important as just a person

and it's it's kind of looked at as this like oh girls do

that but it's not true skincare is so much more than

that and it is there is no gender to it

and there are so many people

that don't know much about taking care of your skin

and it's so important it's so important

and like it helps you I feel like it helps me mentally I feel

so much better when I feel good about my skin i always brush it anyway

but right now it's like very sweaty and covered in texture spray

and it's rough to do it is very naughty my hair it has randomly in my life been a thing

100

that i change a lot

101

and i've had many many many different hair colors since i was like 10 i didn't even know that

102

that was a part of me like i just did it

103

i like i never thought oh i want hair to to be the thing that I do.

104

Also, my parents were like totally down for me to be nine and like grab a Manic Panic Blue from CVS

105

and like throw it on my hair.

106

They didn't care at the time.

107

So I felt really comfortable in that and I just like loved it so much.

108

I've dyed my hair so many times.

109

I dyed it blue first when I was nine, I think.

110

And then when I was 13, I got it bleached for the first time.

111

I got it white and I had white hair for years.

112

black is kind of what feels the most like me weirdly

113

um even though like i think i'm i'm naturally blonde i haven't had natural hair color in a long time

114

but i think i'm naturally blonde it's much easier to go out in the world

115

and be a normal person with a normal hair color for me um it's kind of a life changer right

116

when i had green hair i couldn't do shit i couldn't

117

go anywhere i haven't washed my hair tonight i have another

118

show tomorrow i'm just gonna get it all gross again tomorrow

119

so i'm not gonna wash it

120

but what i like to do at night is use this

121

olaplex number six it's like the bond smoother i use a lot of olaplex products for my hair they're amazing

122

and i use this after every single time i wash my hair

123

and you can use it on your dry hair before you go to bed

124

and it'll just kind of like give some volume i'll just do like that much

125

as soon as my face routine is done i take the love of my life

126

which is a aquaphor healing ointment

127

which i have with me at all times 24 7 it

128

doesn't matter where i am it doesn't matter who i'm with

129

doesn't matter what i'm doing i have this in my pocket

130

and i have six more in my bag always this is my like gloss i don't use anything else

131

if i do it's on top of this and it's just for like a shine.

132

I'm really not a big fan of lip glosses

133

because they are sticky and then they taste weird

134

and then they get in my throat and I can't sing very well when there's a weird taste in my throat.

135

So I never use lip gloss if I have to sing.

136

I'm really, really big on healthy nails and taking care of my nails.

137

This stuff called Thymalize, Tammy showed me this.

138

So Tammy Taylor gave me my first set of nails a couple of years ago

139

and she did my nails for so long.

140

She makes me nails sometimes when I, when I want to wear nails for something.

141

And she's so incredible.

142

And she is just like a genius in this world.

143

And she makes all of her own products.

144

This really saved me one time.

145

I, one of my acrylics like got bonked and you know

146

when your nail gets bonked and it rips a little and it, oh my God, nothing worse than that feeling if you take this stuff

147

and you literally just like drop a tiny bit in there it heals you up

148

and i will use this stuff if my nails are feeling weak like

149

if i had just had gels taken off or something

150

and it'll just soak in on its own

151

if you just like air it out don't touch it i also use beautiful oil

152

because it's adorable look how cute it is oh my god usually i'll do this like after I file

153

and buff my nails but I just sometimes use this randomly because it just it's so nice

154

I would give my ex -boyfriend like a full manicure all the time

155

because I love to do it I mean

156

if anybody's having problems with their nails I'm like come here this is the lotion

157

that I use it is a body cream it's

158

so amazing Laura Mercier it is so nice it's so thick

159

and like oh my god it just like smothers you

160

but I use this on my entire body and you should too motherfuckers you motherfuckers I have dry skin.

161

Stop.

162

This is the stuff.

163

Oh, it's so nice.

164

And it smells so good.

165

I feel like everybody that knows me when they smell this, it just smells like me.

166

I like to give massages to people that I am intimate with, and I will use this stuff on the full body.

167

Here's my fragrance Eilish.

168

And I do like to put a little spritz of fragrance

169

on before I go to sleep just to have like really really a small amount

170

but just to have kind of an aura

171

if i know that i'm gonna sleep somewhere else i will literally pack an entire bag

172

and it's filled with all of what i just showed you

173

i really enjoy it it makes me feel really good and

174

and happy and like very cozy and good you know

175

if i if i'm missing any of this stuff i really feel bad.

176

I just don't feel good.

177

This was my post -show bedtime routine.

178

I'm gonna go relax and then go to sleep and I will get ready for the next one.

179

I love you guys so much.

180

Thank you for watching.

181

What is the Shadowing Technique?

Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
