    Good morning Melissa it’s such a joy to wake up and get to hang out with you! I want to share a tip I learned from a perfume rep decades ago, I get a lot of migraines and the rep told me that for any perfumes that you love but don’t always play nice with you if you put the perfume behind your knee, as it is a pulse point like your wrists, giving it that bit of distance from your own nose but everyone else will still be able to smell your perfume and have no clue that you have it behind your knees.
    Another plus to that is that it will get less sun and therefore you won’t develop those melasma type marks on your neck that can happen from perfume and sun exposure.
    I hope this tip helps anyone else with migraines or allergies to be able to wear those stronger perfumes that we love 😊

When I was on the original Jenny Craig plan years ago, that’s what they recommended, 6 small meals a day vs 3 traditional servings. The idea was frequent digestion increases your metabolism. Of course, eating healthy too and never denying yourself a treat now and then so you don’t get bored. It did work. Maybe I should do that again!

    Hi Melissa I feel blessed to offer found your channel..
    Your beauty inside and out shines through in this video as only full length I have got to see besides some of your shorts. As just found your channel a few minutes ago.
    I apologize for my long comment as I will always give you a thumbs up yet don’t comment on videos yet wanted to thank you for such perfection. And it looks like you have subscribers that are kind, down to earth and beautiful posting nothing but kind comments.
    As your a great role model for all ages.
    It was my mother first bday after she passed away.
    And she never left the house without her clothes, makeup, hair all so perfect. She was very old Hollywood yet got Multiple Sclerosis and became my child from lesions on brain while I was taking care of her before I inherited family genes.
    Finding your channel I feel watching very late the day her bday has ended yet she passed away Sun a year ago is truly honoring my mother. She would love to off loved to go shopping with me and as I did about 9 years ago when I decided I needed to wear all natural makeup among skincare having a rare neurological disease among many more not able to leave the house.
    Yet wearing makeup since age 4 dancing and performing till I got sick in my 20’s before I was about to start clothing line after taking care of my mother who became bedridden I then inherited family genes and never got to have companies done.
    Thank you for bringing me as I can see all your kind and thoughtful subscribers like yourself quality products to buy.
    This is the first video I have watched ahd I am very impressed with the dupes you have done seeing some of the short videos.
    Excited to see the skincare you use on your dry skin as I use to use the corsx snail mucin as husband did too using same skincare routine as myself. He loved it yet I decided to change it up getting laneife milky toner because it makes our skin so hydrated and soft.
    The corsx peptides I am very excited to try as a very popular estician on here raves about how great the product is especially for the price she uses with a night dermatology night cream with other peptides. Being a trained estician and makeup artist it’s hard not being able to leave house to see what products look like.
    I am so excited to watch all your videos as I agree with one of your subscribers in that your a lot like Jen Phelps. I think all shoukd know that it doesn’t matter your age. That you are someone that is such a wonderful role model and your makeup is gorgeous as saw your eyeshadow look using huda palette.
    I only heard about the finery dupes as some have put up what all of them are dupes for yet hadn’t heard any of the others most excited about seeing kosas duped.
    I am very excited to see all your videos and am sure I will want to try all your dupes as nice to know even that product is great if you want other colors in them.
    As I loved your jewelry in the short video among nails I found on Amazon as it’s great you put so much hard work into all your videos.
    I will be letting everyone know to check out your channel especially for those like myself with dry skin and anyone that wants to get great products as your dupes were amazing on two products that everyone wants to buy right now you have given people the ability to get the brightening powder and kosas selling out at Sephora people the ability to get the exact look yet afford it as not everyone can go buy the higher priced ones yet want the look as you described the look perfect. To have healthy bright looking skin.
    I pray your channel continues to grow and get very large as u have many products I know all are wanting to purchase right now.
    Thank you as I hope you and your subscribers have a wonderful weekend.
    I am honored to become a new loyal subscriber of yours.
    Sorry for my novel as I don’t comment on videos so I just wanted to make sure you know how wonderful you are.
    And I feel blessed to of gotten a wonderful person I will enjoy watching and finding so many products I will want to purchase since I have to throw out so much of my makeup and buy new stuff once I get out of hospital. Going into to have spine and possibly colon surgery among ankles fixed to walk again among more.
    Thank you as I am very excited to already made a list of items to get as look forward to I am sure ordering a lot of stuff as loved your earrings that were very gorgeous like yourself. 🙏🌷💖

    I like the NYX concealer, i always use two shades, and thats doable thanks to the affordable price. The medium coverage is too weak to just use one color for me, and the tower 28 I can use alone, so i dont think its a good alternative, but if i lost all my concealers and only had the Nyx for the under eye i would be fine with that. Edit: i havent tried letting it dry before blending, def teying that out :D

    I remember when you recommended the Revlon Prime Plus as a dupe/alternative to the Hourglass Vanish, which I LOVE, so I ried the Revlon. I did not like the Revlon so I returned it. You recently tried the Covergirl Trublend Skin Enhancer Velvet Blur primer so I went out and bought it. My first time trying it, I thought to myself this is a total dupe for the Hourglass Vanish primer! I really like the Covergirl primer and am surprised you aren’t comparing those two as dupes/alternatives! I personally feel like the Covergirl is closer to the Hourglass than the Revlon primer!

I was in a hurry to get out the door but caught sight of myself in a mirror and needed to hide the darkness and was so impressed!! It looked good upon application, it looked good an hour later and even later. Also I have come upon some really good things I am enjoying. Laura Geller Baked Original Highlighter in French Vanilla, I am very fair. It just gives a glow with no glitter and definitely not high beam. So far I am liking it very much!
