Hi Manny! please "Natasha Denona Retro Glam Palette" or "Sydney Grace In Mel's Memory Bundle"? I am waiting for your review to decide🙏 Thanks! Greetings from Buenos Aires, Argentina
I love this foundation on my dry 47 yr old skin as it just feels good. I like how it looks after a long day too! I have it in shade 180 and worried it would be too dark but it was perfect! I did buy 150 though for winter. ☺️
Eye shadow looks really nice on you. I didn't buy it ...yet. I have wondered on the foundation, I bought concealers but not thrilled with coverage so good to know you were happy. Good reviews thank u
I think this shade looks good. Especially once your neck and chest don’t have tanner on them. Seems like a good winter shade. This is the next foundation I want to pick up
I always have on my vanity the inglot pure pigment in a silvery shade and a very light goldish shade for those palettes that don't have a inner corner highlight shade. That's a must for me too!
Hey Mandy! Love the video! But you know, I have the same purply-grey shade of eyeshadow that you swatched from the Huda palette, but in a powder, by Flower Beauty: the Black Iris four-pan kit. Unfortunately, after using it five or six times with different primers underneath and with different companion colors and liners, etc., I had to rename that color "Bruise." There's no other word that could be more accurate. And that's the one color that drew me to the palette. The other colors are fine, and I love the formula, but if I blend any two of them together, or layer them in my creases, it becomes the same bruised shade. I wonder if this would happen also with the Huda creamy shadow? Don't need it, and I just might love the rest of the palette if I could spend the money. But that one shade would have me running away! But thank you anyway- you are truly the queen of eyeshadows!
I think from just what I see in the video the brush side looked smooth and the shade seems like a good shade for you with the bronzer it looks natural. The eyeshadow looks really nice I'm going to try to duplicate with shadows I have.
I love the effect of the rare mascara but the formula bothers my eyes until it's dry. My new favorite thing for my lashes is using the tower 28 mascara layered with either the rare or the Patrick Ta mascara. I always layer different mascaras though. I have shit lashes lol.
Hi Mandy, I was wondering if you’ll be reviewing Sydney Graces In Mel’s memory palette. I ordered it yesterday but it’s on back order. I love watching your Sydney Grace reviews 😊
I love the Rare Beauty mascara it comes off so easily with my regular makeup remover balm, but it does dry out quickly. I never tried a Huda pallet, I want to I just can’t decide on which one. I totally agree on price point comfort levels. I’m about to make a major Lisa Eldridge order and I’m cringing at the price but I know the products will be amazing.
I returned the Huda palette because I felt like the transition shades were all too similar. I also need that bright inner corner. I decided to get the ND My Dream instead. Kosas foundation went back too as it broke apart throughout my day. 😒
Oh love to know if this blush is same as nudestix sun-kissed. Love the look of it but here in Ireland it cost a small fortune to ship. But I can get nudestixs here. 🥰🥰
Love the overall look! It's beautiful and soft looking, can you do a dupe for Huda empowered eyeshadow on the drug store price? Have a wonderful weekend!🤗👍🏼
With rising prices, the ceiling for a given item keeps going up. I DO have a PRINCIPLE I go by to keep myself from going nuts: SLEEP on it. I look in my current collection to see if I can pull a comparable look(or looks) together from various sources. If I don’t often wear a given selection of colors(like WARM colors) I don’t want to have more than two palettes in that category. If it’s a color story I’ll use often, like the ND Glam palette, it’s easier to sort of the price in my head. Face palettes are not my thing and the hourglass face palette well beautiful seem to be repetitive and they’re very expensive. Of the two categories of make up that I feel are best in the higher end category eyeshadow and foundation/concealer. I can usually find good blushes and lipsticks in the drugstore but not for eye products and complexion. I have drugstore palettes but I still have to LIKE them and feel I’m getting a good product.
Seems like a good idea to me! No more impulse buys that way. At least if you’ve going to splurge, you’ve thought it out and budgeted for it in my opinion! 👍🏻
The Milk cheek/lip things go bad so fast though, I had Werk as a Sephora birthday gift and it just started smelling like crayons and getting melty even though it’s in a temp controlled room. It’s a pretty color but I got I think 1.5 year out of it? That’s not enough I’d want to spend my own money on it. I also got Lash Stash but my order is delayed so don’t have it yet but def such a good deal.
I myself prefer brushes and I have found when it does not look well on pores I need to bath and I find when I bust it’s better than using a sponge afterwards depressive and because then I lose so much foundation and I have to go back in. And I’m not a full coverage kind of girl I am a light to medium coverage
I tried the Kosas an could not find a good shade match and then it sat on my skin weird . I didn’t like the foundation from kosas. I’m 50 with pretty oily t-zone. Also can you zoom in more when your applying , I can’t hardly see lol , old eyes even with my glasses
OK Manny I wanna go have coffee with you and sit outside and watch people walk by or have a glass of wine with you and watch people walk by cause you freaking crack me up “ as if it doesn’t depend on the user”😂😂😂
Hearing, I just had to place another order…so I could try this liquid blush, totally takes me back to my pre divorce days. Thanks for sharing your orders! I really do learn by watching.
OK I had to comment after your zip up your turtleneck and put some gloves on and no one’s the wiser I’m still cracking up girl you make me laugh and I love it this is why you’re one of my faves
My hair has magically turned curly in the back. Underneath is wavy sides are wavy top is stick straight. Wtf am I suppose to do with that? My hair is really long too. I'm trying to like curl the spots that aren't curly but obviously it's difficult to make a curling iron create natural looking curls. I have to use an extremely tiny wand but then I can only do the ends because my hair is so long. I love your hair. Couldn't mine just be curly everywhere?
Very pretty blush! And your skin looks so smooth. The pallet looks pretty but also didn't appear to apply as nicely as others you've demonstrated like ND.
I've never worn a foundation that matches me lmao. I'm to fair and pink. Like you can see my veins and stuff. My neck is red. No matter what it's either too dark or too light and it covers the veins and redness. I'd have to use foundation everywhere. I don't use light coverage because I want my veins and redness covered but that makes my chest not match automatically.
Have you tried mineral powder foundation yet? I have all your issues, plus moody rosacea patches with weird texture and high mileage lines. BareMinerals OG Original loose mineral powders, in 2 adjoining shades, have been my go-to for 20+ years.
I will not be buying the empowered pallet I don’t usually go for those colors and I’m like you I like a light metallic or sparkly shadow and I have a thing about my matte to shimmer ratio in a pallet and I don’t normally buy eyeshadow that’s that expensive I did buy a bunch of urban decay single pallets that hurt my wallet they haven’t come yet but I’m hoping they are as good as they looked online thanks for the video much appreciated
I’ve got really good at my makeup and I am really happy with my makeup collection I’m getting my money’s worth even though I have thrown away a lot of makeup it was worth it cuz I found stuff I like he he
I had to choose between the Huda palette and the Natasha Denona palette and ND won especially because it was added to the Sephora sale on the last day. I went in store to swatch the Huda palette and just didn’t like it. Mandy, are you sleeping well these days? I’m seeing blue smudges under your eyes that concealer isn’t covering. Perhaps try a under eye corrector with a peach undertone?
I really enjoy your videos. I do wish you would go outside your comfort zone though. Your looks are so similar. Perhaps a darker more colourful eyeshadow and a brighter or darker lip. Your personality always brings me back to your channel.
I remember how I work ot to buy the Tati Beauty palette because it was too expensive and now I own 2 Hudas and 3 ND, the SG love palette and those are the expensive one. How we get desensitized about what we pay for the things we love, and eyeshadow palettes is what I love, but not enough for my most coveted palette since my Tati palette:ND’s Triochrome. No eyeshadow palette is worth that much unless it is your job to review or you going to wear it everyday. I love some of these but your foundation is too light. Morticia Adam’s light. Lol
@Luna S so you’re saying she had no control over the formula or textures or shades she just slapped her name on it. I don’t believe that for one second.
I’ll never understand why y’all RUclips influencer’s insist on “smoothing out any rough edges” all the time when you applied the product with a brush using a stippling motion/technique. So there aren’t any “rough edges” anywhere to be seen in miles. Crack’s me up every time.
Yes, and to me, it seems that sponging over the blush just exposed more of the bronzer, and the whole effect on Mandy's soft porcelain complexion was just muddy. Weird!
Hi Manny! please "Natasha Denona Retro Glam Palette" or "Sydney Grace In Mel's Memory Bundle"? I am waiting for your review to decide🙏 Thanks! Greetings from Buenos Aires, Argentina
@MandyLeaBeauty, is this you?
I've been using my milk lip & cheeks every day since I got them 😍 on their own, or over powder blush to add a nice glow
I love this foundation on my dry 47 yr old skin as it just feels good. I like how it looks after a long day too! I have it in shade 180 and worried it would be too dark but it was perfect! I did buy 150 though for winter. ☺️
This eye look is so elegant!💕

I remember that you lived the ND mini retro a lot.
Are you going to buy the ND midi retro glam? And do multiple looks with it? 🙏🙏🙏
I love your off-handed comments! They’re so funny. I always enjoy when I see you uploaded a new video. They’re my favorites.
Love this look .. I almost bought the empowered palette but wasn’t sure on how much I’d wear it. Love your videos!!! I love !!!!!! Too
I always have on my vanity the inglot pure pigment in a silvery shade and a very light goldish shade for those palettes that don't have a inner corner highlight shade. That's a must for me too!
Same with the !!! ! 😆 🤣

Your lighting and swatches are so beautiful!

The shade 170 is great for me and we are pretty close in skin tones
I knew you would love the Westman Etilier! That cheek color is gorgeous on you!
Beautiful!
Very pretty look! What are your nails today? Really pretty!
Gorgeous!!! I love the Rare Beauty mascara. 💛🌻💛🌻💛🌻

You should do a video of new makeup trends. I want to see you blush draped with like the w shape lol. It would be fun.
I returned the Huda palette because I felt like the transition shades were all too similar. I also need that bright inner corner. I decided to get the ND My Dream instead. Kosas foundation went back too as it broke apart throughout my day. 😒
I wasn't impressed with the Kosas foundation on me either, plus the shade was way too light.
“Quirk” is such a pretty shade!!
So pretty!
Beautiful look. You will have to keep trying your new products and get a feel for everything. Love the Huda Empowered palette New makeup🎁 🎨.👍💯❗
boy your hair is beautiful
Have you tried the Haus labs foundation? It’s beautiful.
What nail polish is that. Love it
Oh love to know if this blush is same as nudestix sun-kissed. Love the look of it but here in Ireland it cost a small fortune to ship. But I can get nudestixs here. 🥰🥰
Very pretty, yes you are! 🙋🏻♀️💕
Curious, what brush did you use to apply bronzer?
Love the overall look! It's beautiful and soft looking, can you do a dupe for Huda empowered eyeshadow on the drug store price? Have a wonderful weekend!🤗👍🏼
I’m the same way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😜
You look so much better with the lighter foundation. It blurs all lines you may have and it looks fresh.
I got those Milk blushes and if you put them in the freezer for about 20 minutes the top dome doesn’t stick to the lid. I found out the hard way too.

Nyx darkening drops work to adjust foundation
Beautiful look!!! 28:04

W T F
I was staring at your nail color! What is it?
I bought kosss last year and didnt like it seems to much nicer on me this year though. Maybe my skin changed
Your foundation and eyes look stunning! But I don't like any of those Milk colours, myself
What's on your nails? Gorgeous!
I tried the Kosas an could not find a good shade match and then it sat on my skin weird . I didn’t like the foundation from kosas. I’m 50 with pretty oily t-zone. Also can you zoom in more when your applying , I can’t hardly see lol , old eyes even with my glasses

If I want a bright inner corner and my palette doesn't have one, I just use my highlight.
My hair has magically turned curly in the back. Underneath is wavy sides are wavy top is stick straight. Wtf am I suppose to do with that? My hair is really long too. I'm trying to like curl the spots that aren't curly but obviously it's difficult to make a curling iron create natural looking curls.

Hats work! Especially in Winter. Fall, Spring, Summer... Yay, hats!
Very pretty blush! And your skin looks so smooth. The pallet looks pretty but also didn't appear to apply as nicely as others you've demonstrated like ND.
I've never worn a foundation that matches me lmao. I'm to fair and pink. Like you can see my veins and stuff. My neck is red.

I have quite pigmented lips naturally so light colors look strange even though I'm fair
That looks like a great color! I’m saying this as you have half your face on.
I will not be buying the empowered pallet I don’t usually go for those colors and I’m like you I like a light metallic or sparkly shadow and I have a thing about my matte to shimmer ratio in a pallet and I don’t normally buy eyeshadow that’s that expensive I did buy a bunch of urban decay single pallets that hurt my wallet they haven’t come yet but I’m hoping they are as good as they looked online thanks for the video much appreciated
♥️
I’ve got really good at my makeup and I am really happy with my makeup collection I’m getting my money’s worth even though I have thrown away a lot of makeup it was worth it cuz I found stuff I like he he

How rude of you say that but I’m sure she’s used to people who like to try and find some fault with her beauty and point it out. 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
I think the eye pallette has some gel liners in it
Yes, The 2 dark ones on the left are gel liner shadow hybrids.
I really enjoy your videos. I do wish you would go outside your comfort zone though. Your looks are so similar. Perhaps a darker more colourful eyeshadow and a brighter or darker lip. Your personality always brings me back to your channel.
Too funny, a guy l went on a date with years ago accused me of over using the ole ! 😅🤷
I am just not a fan of the inner corner bright eyeshadow, I think it just think it looks like I made a mess with my eyeshadow .
I feel the same way!!
I remember how I work ot to buy the Tati Beauty palette because it was too expensive and now I own 2 Hudas and 3 ND, the SG love palette and those are the expensive one. How we get desensitized about what we pay for the things we love, and eyeshadow palettes is what I love, but not enough for my most coveted palette since my Tati palette:ND’s Triochrome.

@Luna S so you’re saying she had no control over the formula or textures or shades she just slapped her name on it. I don’t believe that for one second.
K, does anyone else get a Julia Roberts vibe from Mandy? A much younger version of course.
Your audio ...
I’ll never understand why y’all RUclips influencer’s insist on “smoothing out any rough edges” all the time when you applied the product with a brush using a stippling motion/technique. So there aren’t any “rough edges” anywhere to be seen in miles. Crack’s me up every time.
Yes, and to me, it seems that sponging over the blush just exposed more of the bronzer, and the whole effect on Mandy's soft porcelain complexion was just muddy. Weird!
So how would you have her apply it then ?
