Hi, sisters!
James Charles here, and today I'm getting
under the covers with Cosmo
I think the last text that I sent last night
was to my video editor
sending him notes of things to edit for the
video that's supposed
to go up in a few days
I'm literally always working
Usually when I wake up, I will either Facetime
my best friend Drew,
or my family group chat literally talks way
to often
so I'll have at least a hundred missed messages
from them from the night before
When I wake up, the first app that I check
is usually based on what my day is going to look like
So usually I'll check my calendar first, if
I know it's gonna be a busy day
and figure out what time I'm actually supposed
to be out of bed
If it's not until later, I'll probably hit
snooze and roll back over
If not, I will usually check Twitter first
Sometimes I'll check YouTube if I uploaded
the day before, to see how my new video is doing
Or sometimes I'll check Snapchat if I was
having
uh, an interesting conversation the night
before
If you know what I mean
My usual alarm sound is the default one on
the iPhone
which is so triggering, oh my god,
It literally sends me into a mental rage like
nothing else on the planet
But, it is the one thing that will always
get me up in the morning, no matter what
Cause I will literally wake up out of anger
and want to throw my phone across the room
Which is good for me, because it actually
gets me out of bed
But I usually hit snooze at least four time,
if not five or six
On my night stand I usually have my phone
charger and my glasses
Because I wear glasses at night
Oh, I also have a candle, sometimes, I'll
light for a real ones that smell good
and fresh, in my room
Since I wear make up on an almost every day
basis for my job
I will always take off my make up like super,
super well
starting with make up wipes, I love the Neutrogena
ones
I will always scrubba-dub-dub for a real one
and then use at least eight of them to make
sure it's off my skin
Then I really love the Tatcha skin care products
I get facials with them all the time and they
are truly some of the only things that work
for my skin
I definitely have complicated skin, and I
am very serious about taking very, very good
care of it
So I'm really, really hydrated, it literally
looks like I'm wet before going to bed
But that is my secret to getting really, really
hydrated skin
Especially living in LA, the air is super
dry there
I always just sleep in my underwear
I get really, really hot when I sleep, so
if I sleep in anything else I'll start sweating
which is absolutely disgusting, like...
gross
I usually keep the room really, really, really
cold so I can, once again, cuddle up
That's literally it
I'm definitely a side sleeper so I usually
will take out my earrings if I'm going to bed
so I avoid, like, um, ripping my ears
open, cause that's not fun
My best video concepts or ideas for make up
looks will literally come to me in a dream
Like, me doing it in the future
Which sounds crazy, but I swear to god that's
how a lot of my best videos have happened
A lot of times, I'll have like, nightmares,
but like...
I'll low key enjoy them in a really strange
way
because I love horror movies, so I feel I'm
like, in one
Which, that's like such a crazy, psychopathic
things to say, but I love it
Like, I've had dreams where I'm in my house,
like getting broken into
which is so scary, at the time, but then I'll
wake up and be like, that was kind of fun
Don't, oh, I should definitely not say that
on camera
Don't break into my house, there's a good
security system
I try not to eat many midnight snacks because
if I do eat, I will not be able to fall asleep again
But sometimes I'll definitely sneak downstairs
for some Oreos
But I also have a bad addiction to chips and
guacamole
So I'll usually like, keep some of that in
there
When I was younger I used to have two baby
blankets
one was blue and one was white
Well by the time I was done with them they
were both grey and disgusting
I literally could never fall asleep without
them,
but once I moved to Los Angeles, I forgot
them at my house,
which was so sad,
but that was like, my final pathway with them
So now I can fall asleep literally anywhere
at anytime
That's literally the most useful skill that
I have
Forget make up, forget beauty, forget drawing,
forget marketing
Like, being able to fall asleep anywhere is
the best talent in the entire world
My bed is really cute, actually
So I have all white sheets and then my comforter,
my best friend Drew actually made for me because
we both do YouTube all the time and he has
a DIY channel
I have two pillows because I can only sleep
with two pillows
I literally do not understand how people can
sleep flat on the ground
There's nothing more uncomfortable in the
entire world
And then, like I said, a lot of blankets so
I can really snuggle up
Literally there will be sometimes where I'll
wake up in the middle of the night
ands I'll instantly grab my phone and start
writing everything down in my notes app
because some of my best ideas will come to
me in my sleep
I find make up looks come to me where I can
literally envision putting it on
which is so crazy
I've had video ideas come to me
And I've literally had this baby come to me
also, right here
This is my pallette actually, that I just
released with Morphe
It is the James Charles Palette
And funny enough, when I actually got the
opportunity from Morphe to create this pallette
I literally had the concept fully designed,
already on photoshop to send to the brand
owners
because of the fact that it had come to me
in a dream
like, this sounds so cheesy, but this is literally
not a lie
like, it was done months in advance because
I was putting it to the universe
and it happened
My brain's so powerful when I sleep, I think
I need to sleep more often
Kinda fun!
