The brush alternatives are amazing and well timed for me. You look like you are feeling much better, Melissa. It is very nice to see that sparkle in your eyes. I mean no disrespect by this comment, only love and admiration. I've been praying for you, and I hope my prayers are being answered. Have a great weekend, and thank you for all the research that was done for this video 💖
Sweet Melissa... So good seeing you and your flippy hair 🤗 Have you been feeling good...I really hope🙏 This video talking about the brushes is so helpful as usual😍 Take good care my friend💞💕
My most expensive brushes are Real Techniques. When I worked I’d sometimes splurge on a few high end items; now in retirement I need dupes only. Thank you for sharing these! I’ve also got that stone cold fox palette on my radar. Have a blessed weekend my friend!🌻
Thank you for doing this video Melissa. With the price of everything rising, we need quality alternatives and I totally trust your judgment to give us the best! ❤
I purchased the impossible primer on a whim at Target. I thought for the price, I’d give it a try. I love this product. It’s wayyyyy better than any other primer I’ve used in the past.
I absolutely love the UD naked but then have fallen head over heels for the Stone Cold Fox Pallet. SO perfect for my fair cool skin. Loved the video as always.
Hi Melissa, I could not tell the difference in the powder, blush or the lipsticks. You really hit the nail on the head with those matches. I love Colourpop palettes better than others too. Patrick Ta palettes are the only highend palettes I have except for Too Faced. Hope you are haviing a wonderful day and I have enjoyed the video and the comparisons. Great job and we love you too Melissa.🥰❤💜💜🙏💐
I love this video of dupes, makeup, and brushes. It is helpful, especially with the brushes. Im always looking for a comparable brush for the pricier ones. Thank you MrsMelissa! You are so special and one of my fave Creators. You are so very creative with your content.❤
I adore the BK Beauty brushes. I own a few of their brushes, and they are worth it. I also own 4 Elf brushes. They are also top notch. I never thought about Stone Cold Fox being an alternative for the Naked pallet. I love both pallets.
Love your dupes. I can no longer afford high end. I no longer feel like most of them are worth the high price anyway. So I really appreciate your videos.
Melissa lots of great choices. Brushes are so important to have something that does the job. Love all the alternatives. Your hair looks beautiful. Thanks for bringing us great videos. ❤
I love your hair a bit curly! Its so pretty! ❤ Thank you for keeping me from housework and watching you instead on this Saturday! I've had 2 crazy days. Thursday I was at my daughter's and when I parked it was daylight but it was very dark when I left and I ran into a tree stump and crushed the front end of my 2 year old car. I'm short and cannot see over the dash. Then yesterday my phone wouldn't charge and it said there was water detected in the charging port. I ordered new chargers from Amazon and this morning everything is perfect! Now I get to see you and you're looking great! Have a great weekend! Love ya! ❤ ~lori
Hi Melissa. I really enjoyed your high-end, low-end "buy this, not that", especially comparing the brushes. What I'm really waiting for... a comparison of a "buy this, not that" for Angie's Kitten Paw concealer brush. I'd love the soft feel, the perfect shape, without the BK Beauty price.
I love the Essence pure baked blush. But my favorite blushes are the Milani baked blushes. I have all the shades and stopped buying blushes. Love colourpop eyeshadows too.
Finding a great dupe is always so exciting for me. I have the same handbag in your background. Mine is black and I LOVE it. Thanks for these great options!❤️❤️❤️
Thanks Melissa some great dupes Love the stone cold palette & the urban decay have them both The L’Oréal it’s so like the Charlotte one but stays on a tad longer See you soon ❤
I bought into the hype about BK brushes that all influencers push so much one way or another….so ended up buying the foundation brush….well, it’s only good enough for my bronzer…nothing beats my Vella yue angled powder foundation brush from amazon…it costs $7 and it’s simply the best. I have many high end foundation brushes but I only use my cheapest one from Amazon! Please try it …I think it will go viral 😂.
@@kathleenp3135 yes, the blush brush and the powder brushes are lovely too, then at one point they had a white one in the shape of a rose and it’s my go to for my powders. They are so soft, beautifully made, they truly outperform all my high end ones….and I have many….
@@kathleenp3135yes, the blush and the powder brush…the correct spelling is Vela Yue, I responded to your comment earlier but for some reason it didn’t appear..
Thanks for your comments/reviews on all these products and giving us dupes for the high endones. I wish Çànada had the same prices as the US - for example the IT Cosmetics brush is $50 Çànadian. PLEASE excuse the French accènts - for some reason my PC has decided to use them. I have tried everything and nothing helps.
I caught that sale too and glad I did. I had a few BK Beauty brushes and the ones I liked best were not the ones I expected to. I think their face brushes (of the ones I’ve tried) are superb. I have been waiting for a number of years to get a deal on the red handled original travel set and the 50% off sale convinced me to pull the trigger. I’ve only tested each brush out once so far but I’m liking the set overall. I still think I prefer the face brushes to the eye brushes but that’s a me thing I’m sure. I feel the opposite way about Sigma where I’ve had more luck with eye brushes although nothing is awful just a preference for what works on my face. That said, I’m all for inexpensive dupes or drug store brushes like Real Techniques, especially when starting out in makeup to learn what you like or to have spares. I think value is key. Brushes you use and wash a lot, go for high end quality that lasts; brushes you use less or don’t need as much scrubbing, cheaper version work just fine. Learned all this the hard way.
Hi Melissa! As always I absolutely loved this video! You help me out so much and it is greatly appreciated! I'm on a budget, especially in this economy and living in NY. Your comparisons are on the money! I like how you incorporated the brushes too, bc they're equally important! I also like when you tell us which one you prefer and performs the best. You're beautiful inside and out, thank you so much for sharing what you know, stunning! 😘🤗
I’m so in love with the Dior Powder no Powder! I hate that it was discontinued😢!!! So I am definitely thinking about getting the Laura Mercier if they have a good shade match for me! Also, thanks so much for comparing the different brushes to one another❣️I literally have some Rephr brushes and BK Beauty brushes that I haven’t even used yet because I have so many great drugstore options. The Elf angled brush is still my go to for powder blushes and I use a bunch of eco tool brushes for cream applications, etc. The one BK Beauty brush I use is the big fluffy one for finishing powder(My Dior Powder no Powder) until it’s done. I can’t explain why I don’t use my high end brushes😢I feel like I don’t deserve to for some reason 😂Great video, Melissa 🥰
These are some of my very favorite 'videos'! I learn so much. You take the work of looking and then give us the pros and/or cons AND prices! Love this so much! Thanks for the great info! You rock girl❤
Hi Melissa, l love Urban Decay lip liners, l have them all in the different colors, l haven't got the lifter lip liners yet, but l will do that soon, hugsssss ❤❤❤
Oh Ms Melissa!!’ This was amazing. Thank you so much for all the alternatives ….brushes and make up. I really want several of the BK beauty brushes… so if you come across any more similar ones, please let us know!!!❤
Please do some eyeshadow looks, like this one today, using blue shadows. Your eyes are always beautiful, but especially when you use blue. Thank you for this video and all the ones using drug store products. You are beautiful. I want everything you use. Thank you.
Hi Melissa !! I purchased the hourglass dual brush last year because of you 😊I love it so versatile. Also the It cosmetics stippling cream brush with your recommendation. I would love the It mega powder brush but they don’t have an Ulta in the UK . I’m going to pick up the alternative Real Techniques it looks similar ❤🤗to
Love love this type of videos. Love to save money. Colourpop is my jam most of my palettes are Colourpop or Alter ego. Hope you are doing great. You look beautiful. Love from Michigan❤
Hey Melissa , Thank you for doing brushes so often on your channel, always helps me out. And as a dry aging skin myself I totally get the need of lightly dusting finishing powder just to set the face and not want a concentrated powder look. But if i may ask, what would be your first preference or pick if now you have to buy one - RT stipple brush or the Ulta IT Cosmetics powder brush? Let me know please.
@@MrsMelissaMoh I love your hair blonde but it must be a fall thing I look at the RUclipsrs if their hair was brown and I just think oh they should go back Brown I get what you're saying because my hair is naturally brown I'm Italian and I do it blonde all the time for the last 15-20 years 3 days tops and I'm back blonde but I thought it looks so good on you but I get what you're saying I love your videos and I learned so much from them though and love watching you no matter what your color is😊
Ty Melissa , for sharing some alternative cheaper products as we all need to save🤑 as much as possible since the ole mighty dollar is not as valuable as it used to be. 💸 keeping us bougie on a budget to still be fabulous . 👸🏼🫅🏻
Great video 😊I have the It cosmetics heavenly luxe brush for about 4 years but it’s beginning to shed and it’s no longer usable. I bought a cheaper one from Jessup which is fine. I don’t think it’s necessary to buy expensive brushes.
So much great information as per usual, lovely Melissa! I have had my eye on that Colorpop Stone Cold Fox palette for quite a while; I'm just unsure if the colors are too cool for me. I have several Colorpop eye palettes and the quality is truly excellent. Love your hair 💖
Hi Trish. I think there's a good mix of cool, neutral & warm. Like I said, wait for a sale. With the 20% off it would be $28 & that might not be too bad.
Love these videos! Thank you so much for going the extra mile to find lower cost alternatives. I would caution ordering lipstick from Amazon, I did, it was just loose in a larger box and it was a Melted mess, I tried to repair and put in fridge for a few days, but that did not work, I can use with a lipstick brush only.
This is fantastic! I’m saving this video so I can go back and review again(and again)! I love your Amazon store. I go there when I’m looking for something and I am not sure what to get.
Love you Lady!!! Great video......loved it. BTW Vegas was around 95-99 degrees every single day. Laid by the pool all 5 days and got 2 -100 minute massages!!! That was my worthy splurge instead of more makeup and un=needed handbags. Also today is our 22nd wedding anniversary. So, we used Vegas as our anniversary trip. You look amazing and so healthy and that makes me so happy!! XOXO Melissa
Thank you Melissa...so fun shopping with you! I'm ordering the body brush to put on self tanner. I use a mitt, never thought to try a brush, I'm excited to try it!

I love that you are doing brushes as well. I love my makeup brushes and like having extras as I don’t want to wash my brushes weekly.
Me either!

Glad you liked it Lynn!!
@@MrsMelissaM I LOVED it 👍💖!!!
I love you Mrs. Melissa. You're so precious. God bless you, sweet beautiful lady!
I’d love to see dupes for eye shadow brushes….like three affordable essential brushes.
I'll definitely keep that in mind Marcia.
Hi Melissa …ohhhhh dupes…you had me at dupes!! I got my BK beauty dupe brushes from Temu❤
What were they called on Temu? Thanks!
Did you like the quality Trisha?
@@kathleenp3135 Maange and the color is red wine color
@@MrsMelissaM yessss I do Melissa.
@@MrsMelissaM they have Lat Von D’ brushes now on Temu and also Maange is duping Kay Von D’
Shop Miss A has some great eye brushes. The sets in their own holder are amazing and definitely rival high end. Thanks for the great video!❤

Thank you so much Patty 💓
I’ve been eyeing that Stone Cold Fox palette since it came out and you just convinced me to finally pick it up. 😊
I love the Smoke and Roses palette. I was thinking about the Rock Candy one next. Like Melissa's review of Stone Cold fox too.
I hope you love it Amy. It'd so pretty.
Smoke & Roses is gorgeous as well!
I adore the BK Beauty brushes. I own a few of their brushes, and they are worth it. I also own 4 Elf brushes. They are also top notch. I never thought about Stone Cold Fox being an alternative for the Naked pallet. I love both pallets.
So happy you enjoy both types of brushes.
Thank you again for a great tutorial 😍😘

Hi Debra. It's crazy the prices they charge in Canada.
Good video. I have some elf brushes, but when BK has a 30% off and just caught a special 50% off a select couple of brushes i treated myself.
I caught that sale too and glad I did. I had a few BK Beauty brushes and the ones I liked best were not the ones I expected to. I think their face brushes (of the ones I’ve tried) are superb.

Great tips!
Thank you so much, Melissa. It requires a lot of time and work to find these value buys for us❤❤❤ Hugs and prayers😊
It means a lot that you appreciate it Jeannie.
Great finds! I still love those pencils like the Moira one you showed. You find great alternatives and that is what I go for.
I'm so glad you like them.

It's such a cute jacket. I hope you like it when it comes.
Thanks for sharing these.
I'm so grateful you're here !
Glad you like them!

I would love the It mega powder brush but they don’t have an Ulta in the UK . I’m going to pick up the alternative Real Techniques it looks similar ❤🤗to
Love love this type of videos. Love to save money. Colourpop is my jam most of my palettes are Colourpop or Alter ego. Hope you are doing great. You look beautiful. Love from Michigan❤
Love u too Angie!
Hi thanks for sharing!!
Hey Melissa , Thank you for doing brushes so often on your channel, always helps me out. And as a dry aging skin myself I totally get the need of lightly dusting finishing powder just to set the face and not want a concentrated powder look. But if i may ask, what would be your first preference or pick if now you have to buy one - RT stipple brush or the Ulta IT Cosmetics powder brush? Let me know please.
Hi Melissa, l love the original Naked eyeshadow palette, l have it, love all the colors in it, hugsssss ❤❤❤
It's a great one for sure.
You should do your hair back Brown for the fall it looks so pretty I went back to your old videos it just compliments your skin tone
Oh thank you Anna! I feel weird with it dark since I've been Blond my whole life since I was a little girl.
@@MrsMelissaMoh I love your hair blonde but it must be a fall thing I look at the RUclipsrs if their hair was brown and I just think oh they should go back Brown I get what you're saying because my hair is naturally brown I'm Italian and I do it blonde all the time for the last 15-20 years 3 days tops and I'm back blonde but I thought it looks so good on you but I get what you're saying I love your videos and I learned so much from them though and love watching you no matter what your color is😊
I absolutely love your eyeshadow! Could you do a tutorial on it?
I need to bring a tutorial soon Chrissy!
Ty Melissa , for sharing some alternative cheaper products as we all need to save🤑 as much as possible since the ole mighty dollar is not as valuable as it used to be. 💸 keeping us bougie on a budget to still be fabulous . 👸🏼🫅🏻
You are so welcome!
Ulta's brushes are really nice.
Hi! Love ur videos. you were so diligent in listing everything but do tell what's on ur nails, i need that in my life!

Great video 😊I have the It cosmetics heavenly luxe brush for about 4 years but it’s beginning to shed and it’s no longer usable. I bought a cheaper one from Jessup which is fine. I don’t think it’s necessary to buy expensive brushes.
Loved the video!!!
Thanks for the great brush alternatives.. I do own a few BK brushes but getting the whole line is not doable. Great video, as usual.
Glad it was helpful!
So much great information as per usual, lovely Melissa! I have had my eye on that Colorpop Stone Cold Fox palette for quite a while; I'm just unsure if the colors are too cool for me. I have several Colorpop eye palettes and the quality is truly excellent. Love your hair 💖
Hi Trish. I think there's a good mix of cool, neutral & warm. Like I said, wait for a sale. With the 20% off it would be $28 & that might not be too bad.
Love these videos! Thank you so much for going the extra mile to find lower cost alternatives. I would caution ordering lipstick from Amazon, I did, it was just loose in a larger box and it was a Melted mess, I tried to repair and put in fridge for a few days, but that did not work, I can use with a lipstick brush only.
Good to know. Although I haven't had an issue, I'm sure they're definitely out there.
This is fantastic! I’m saving this video so I can go back and review again(and again)! I love your Amazon store. I go there when I’m looking for something and I am not sure what to get.
Thats awesome Nicki! Thank you 😊
great video. im gonna try the loreal lipstick.
I hope you love it.
Another excellent video. Thanks Melissa. I'll be checking some of your alternative recommendations.
Im.so glad you liked it.

You are so welcome!
Hi, thanks for the great video! Can you please tell me what eyeshadows you’re wearing? Thanks again❣️
Love you Lady!!! Great video......loved it. BTW Vegas was around 95-99 degrees every single day. Laid by the pool all 5 days and got 2 -100 minute massages!!! That was my worthy splurge instead of more makeup and un=needed handbags.
Also today is our 22nd wedding anniversary. So, we used Vegas as our anniversary trip. You look amazing and so healthy and that makes me so happy!! XOXO Melissa
Sounds like a great trip Melissa! Happy belated anniversary!
