× Yes, definitely. You know that everyday I always look at myself in the mirror to take out my outfit, my appearance and make sure it's look good.
✓ Yes, definitely. You know that every day I always look at myself in the mirror to check my outfit and appearance and make sure they look good.
Uses incorrect verb forms and nouns: 'everyday' should be 'every day' (adverbial phrase). 'take out my outfit' is incorrect collocation; 'check my outfit' is natural. 'make sure it's look good' mixes singular contraction 'it's' with plural verb 'look'; use 'they look good' referring to outfit and appearance. Also 'always' and 'every day' is redundant but acceptable; suggestion: use one of them for conciseness.
× Umm and I also looking myself and my in the mirror to make it confident.
✓ Umm, and I also look at myself in the mirror to feel confident.
Incorrect verb form 'looking' used without auxiliary; should be base form 'look' after 'I'. 'looking myself and my' is ungrammatical; correct phrase is 'look at myself'. 'to make it confident' wrongly uses 'make' and 'it'; the intended meaning is 'to feel confident'.
× Well, MMM, definitely I will say yes, because I have uh bought my murals is, I mean the mineral mirrors to take take uh, with me to go everywhere that if I have to check out my appearance, I will bring it it with me.
✓ Well, definitely I would say yes, because I have bought small hand mirrors to take with me everywhere in case I need to check my appearance.
Sentence contains many issues: 'I will say' is better as 'I would say' in this conversational context. 'bought my murals is, I mean the mineral mirrors' appears to be mispronunciations; corrected to 'bought small hand mirrors'. Article and noun forms fixed: 'to take with me everywhere' is natural. Removed repeated words 'take take' and 'it it'. Use 'in case I need to' instead of awkward clause.
× Yes, definitely. I always take out my outfit and my appearance especially is my makeup when I'm uh, hanging out, hanging out with my friends.
✓ Yes, definitely. I always check my outfit and appearance, especially my makeup, when I'm hanging out with my friends.
'take out my outfit and my appearance' is incorrect; use 'check my outfit and appearance'. Extra word 'is' is unnecessary. Redundant 'hanging out, hanging out' should be single occurrence. Overall present continuous 'I'm hanging out' is fine.
× Well, you know that my room actually don't have any mirrors, so and I feel that I'm not, umm, relaxed when I have the mirror in my room, especially if they have a big mirrors, I feel it's uh, quite a scary.
✓ Well, you know that my room actually doesn't have any mirrors, and I feel that I'm not relaxed having a mirror in my room; especially if there is a big mirror, I feel it's quite scary.
Subject-verb agreement: 'my room ... don't have' should be 'doesn't have' (room singular). Remove unnecessary 'so and'. 'relaxed when I have the mirror' better as 'relaxed having a mirror'. 'if they have a big mirrors' mixes plural and singular; use 'if there is a big mirror'. 'quite a scary' needs noun/adjective fix: 'quite scary'.
× So I never bring a mirror in my room.
✓ So I never put a mirror in my room.
'bring a mirror in my room' implies carrying into room now; more natural to say 'put a mirror in my room' meaning to place one there. Present simple 'never' with 'put' is correct. If meaning 'I never keep a mirror in my room', 'keep' could be used.
