Shadowing Practice: my rhode skincare routine | HAILEY RHODE BIEBER - Learn English Speaking with Video

Creating lesson...
1
Good morning!
2
Hi everyone, it's Hailey, and I'm really excited for today's video because I'm gonna be taking you through my road routine.
3
All right, so, first day, new set.
4
We're gonna walk you through the road routine.
5
Let's go.
6
I'm gonna start with the peptide glazing fluid.
7
We love her.
8
So the peptide glazing fluid is this really beautiful, moisturizing gel serum hybrid.
9
I do two to three pumps.
10
It's really great for hydration.
11
It has a lot of high level actives.
12
It has niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, peptides, and marula oil.
13
And just put it all over the skin.
14
The whole point behind the glaze is that it leaves you looking like a delicious, yummy, glazed donut.
15
Obviously, that's the goal.
16
I just want you to all be able to see from every single angle and perspective,
17
I just applied it straight to my skin right there.
18
The next step in the routine is the Barrier Restore Cream.
19
The reason that it's called the Barrier Restore Cream is
20
because we really wanted to focus on making a face cream that was really easy for every single day use.
21
It's a super beautiful hydrating cream that is great for keeping your skin super hydrated.
22
Its ingredients include niacinamide, lots of peptides, we call this our peptide powerhouse, squalane, hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and acai.
23
It's so good for restoring the barrier, soothing the skin.
24
And I'm just gonna jump back to here for a second.
25
I really want to show everybody super close up, super raw, so you can see the way everything looks when it's freshly applied to the skin.
26
Another thing I want to mention, it's something that I'm really proud of, is that all the products are clean, vegan, cruelty -free, gluten -free.
27
They are also dermatologist -developed and tested.
28
I just hope you guys love them as much as I do.
29
The final step in the road routine, for now, is the peptide lip treatment.
30
This is where I broke my rule on scents, just because for me, I feel like there's something really nostalgic and fun about scent in a lip product.
31
But we also did do an unscented version for anybody who is not into scent.
32
But for me, I really like the scented ones.
33
So this one is the salted caramel flavor.
34
It smells so good.
35
The formula includes peptides, shea butter, Koopasoo and Babasoo, which those two I know sound kind of like a mouthful.
36
We've done a lot of research on our ingredients.
37
We spent a lot of time on these formulas and Koopasoo and Babasoo are two ingredients that are really great for hydration.
38
As much as little as you want, it feels super nice on the lips, really hydrating.
39
I sometimes I sometimes use it over, like if I put on lipstick
40
and then I apply it over to kind of give that little bit of like sheen and hydration.
41
The very best part is that at the end of everything, you are just glazed from top to bottom, lips included.
42
So that is the final step in the road routine.
43
I have peptide glazing fluid, the barrier restore cream, and the peptide lip treatment.
44
I really want to see the way that you guys use them in your routine, in your everyday life, So make sure to tag me tag at road and hashtag road routine.
45
This was another really fun tutorial I'm really excited about it.
46

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.
