That mascara with ball tip was absolutely the BEST mascara ever!! One night in the Emergency Dept where I work, a belligerent drunk woman asked, "Are you even a doctor? Dr. Mascara, that's who you are! Dr. Mascara!!!" The RN and I fell out laughing and it has been my nickname since!
Thank you for thanking him. Vietnam vets have never gotten enough recognition. My dad lost both legs in Vietnam and he won't wear a hat advertising that he's a vet because of the way they were treated when they got back home. My dad didn't want to go, he was drafted. But he did go and paid a huge price. I thanked a Vietnam vet once and he was so touched that he shared some of his some of his story with me. It was truly awful what they had to endure. So it makes me happy to know that some people are thanking them now.
That’s so sweet that he paid for your flowers 🥺 I think the world gets a little brighter when we pay it forward. I try to do that when I can because I know how much it can mean to someone else. And it makes my heart happy too 🥰
@@emilynoel83 The colors in that Urban Decay palette are beautiful. But I have a long-standing burning question for you: Can/Should 60 and older ladies wear eyeshadows with shimmer in them? Or is it best that we stick with matte-and maybe satin-eyeshadow finishes? I am 64 with very small eyes-and hooded eyelids. I don’t want to draw attention to these issues. Nor do I want to look like I’m trying too hard to appear younger! Thank you in advance for your valuable feedback! You are my favorite beauty blogger! You have a pleasantness about you that is very calming and uplifting. 😍
Emily, thank you for sharing the story of the kind veteran. My husband is a Marine Corp vet and he seeks out Veterans at Lowe’s, Walmart, etc to thank them for their service and talk to them! Some are shocked, some tear up and some talk for an hour! He also pays and gives money to the needy in store check- out lines. I really wish more people would acknowledge the sacrifice and courage of our precious veterans! They are so deserving of special treatment!
@@LoveABun as a makeup artist and hairstylist for almost 20 years I say do what makes you happy. BUT yes shimmer will make your texture on eyes come out more and lines and wrinkles. Honestly I love Wayne Goss eye shadow palettes Because I love his shimmers on my more mature skin clients and mom. Hell I'm almost 40 with hooded eyes and I have to be careful but I'm still like shinning like a diamond because I love shimmers. But they do transfer up on my hooded eyes no matter what tricks I try. It really depends on the shimmer formula. Stick to more smooth shimmers nothing chunky and you will be fine. But if you don't want to call attention to those try the all matte looks also. Sometimes a good liquid shimmer shadow applied to the correct spot and way looks great and won't smuge in hooded eyes also.
My Daddy passed away from pancreatic cancer on 5/1/2022. He was a school bus driver, but he had an amazing impact on his kids! He was a retired coal miner, and had a heart transplant in 2016, and went back to work, and decided to drive a school bus. I cannot tell you the kids who came to his visitation! At the 8th grade graduation one of the girls had his picture and the phrase “this one’s for you” on her graduation cap! The school also had a balloon release in his honor after we buried him! He was an amazing man and so many people loved him. I’ll miss him til the day I die. My heart is shattered and it takes my breath, but I know how loved he was! There are many good people out there!
So many veterans from the Vietnam Era were treated very badly when they first came home from war in the 1960's and 1970's. Attitudes towards the military changed drastically by the time of the First Gulf War in 1990/1991. These veterans were honored and celebrated, both when they deployed and when they returned home. Many Vietnam Vets seemed to feel left out at the time. I often heard vets say, "Nobody threw ME a parade when I got home!" As a veteran who served in the Marines during (mostly) peacetime, from 1980-1988, I can tell you that the fact that you reached out and thanked this man for his service really meant a lot to him. As much as his kindness in paying for your flowers touched your heart, your kindness towards him touched his soul. Thank you for your kindness to one of my brothers.
Thank you for sharing your story, Emily! My husband had a similar situation at the grocery store last week. He struck up a conversation with the woman in front of him.... and she said, "Oh just add your things to my order!" He declined, but that act of kindness stayed with us. There are such wonderful people in this world!!
So glad you shared the vet story. I agree 100% that we need to talk about the good things that happen. There are certainly many wonderful people around. All hope is not lost! Kind, honorable people are still out and about in force and it's good to be reminded of that.
I live in Denmark. Being a minimalistic skandinavian i have never put on falsh lashes. In many ways we live very different lives, but i love LOVE you (not a very ordinary statement from a introverted skandinavian) but i do. You are so genuine, sweet and kind. I love your stories and i have followed you for many years now. I wish you and your family the very best. 🌺
My husband is an active duty Marine, and I was having a HARD day at the grocery store when my daughter was ~6 months old. She had food allergies and reflux, and was just always a colicky baby. Taking her out alone was so overwhelming for me, but my husband was away so, had to be done. I was juggling her being fussy and waiting in a long line at the grocery store, when the man behind me started to make small talk with me-and I won’t lie, at first I was annoyed. Like, can’t he see I’m trying to do my best with this fussy baby and not piss off the whole store with her crying? But he was really sweet and chatted over her cries. He told me he had been in the army and I was a living reminder that he never truly appreciated all the ways his wife had to step up for their family while he was gone. That alone was encouraging, just to be recognized, but he then paid for my $100 worth of groceries. I was a complete mess after that and asked how I could repay him, and he told me to keep loving my family and showing up for them. It was such a blessing ❤️
Oh Emily you had me tearing up before my morning coffee! I agree we need to SHOUT those good people stories from the rooftops! I saw your IG story too and teared up then too! So sweet and kind! And Bubba saying thank you- what a doll you have raised in those kids. Kudos to you! Can’t wait to hear the Benefit blush round up!!!! HUGS!!!!! Xoxoxox
I LOVED 🥰 hearing your heart felt encounter at Lowes with the kids ❤️. My entire family is USMC , and I can tell you a thousand percent with confidence the huge hearts our Marines have in this family in spite of all the trials and tribulations we’ve overcome ! Everyday is appreciated bcuz we’re so blessed 🙏to have the life we have , and take nothing for granted. And there isn’t a day that goes by that we don’t laugh,love ,and embrace each other in that love . Our son-in-law is a Captain in the USMC , and barely made it out of Afghanistan with his fellow Marines last summer, so yes , we always try to be kind & thoughtful to others , NO MATTER WHO THEY ARE 😊👍❤️! It’s just the way we roll in this family 😍🇺🇸❤️❣️
You made me cry with the story about the Veteran paying for your flowers - your family was a blessing to him and he wanted to thank you for that - so beautiful. 🤍🤍🤍 Thanks for sharing that, it helps me too.
Most people are just genuine, normal people. I was at Tom Leonard's the other day getting some meat cut into steaks and the butcher commented on my "Back the Blue" t shirt. Said his brother is a cop, and we exchanged thanks for his service and for my support of the police, along with other random pleasantries.. It made my day.
Your interaction with this older gentleman is exactly what is missing in our current generation. We feel it's heartwarming and remarkable, but that's because the days of being friendly, of sharing smiles and making a generous gesture are so rare now. I'm sure he's thinking of you and the kids too! You never know what his story is...maybe he misses his kids and grandkids, or maybe he doesn't have any. Or maybe he thinks of his daughter when he interacted with you. Whatever his story, God places people in our path at the right time.
Loved the story you shared about the veteran. I have three sons all teen agers now but when they were small I would thank veterans for their service (still do) and they saw me do this. At a young age they started doing it without me even directing them and it warms my heart to see it. One time we were at a Starbucks and there was an active duty guy in line behind us and my son whispered "mom, you should buy his coffee". When I see my sons live out the kindness to others which I diligently taught them in their youth it makes so proud. So, your kids will remember that man and I just bet that at some point they will pay forward what he did for you guys and girl...that's what it's all about. Love you Em...and love your family. Best wishes.
I heard the story in insta and it just warms my heart. Ppl can’t imagine what a simple smile a compliment or a nice gesture can mean to ppl. This past few weeks I have felt so saddened by what is going on in the world and this story just gives hope in humanity. Totally agree we need to share these stories share the goodness we still have in this world.
Such a heart warming story, but I think the most important aspect is when you stated that ‘Bubba said thank you without me even telling him.’ He’s modeling the behavior he sees on a daily basis, so many forget that the 0-5 years are the character building years with children.
Love hearing “feel good” stories from real people about real people. It soothes the soul and naturally make the tears swells, (grabbing tissue as I write). But sincerely, I am grateful to have heard you recount this kind act along with sharing your thoughts on how it’s positively impacted all of you there. I especially admire how your children naturally showed their own appreciation. My professional nanny opinion: Unprompted “thank you’s” from little ones speaks volumes about the positive way they are being raised! (Thank you for passing on your wonderfully loving philosophy of life to those three beautiful children!!❤️)
Emily I have watched you for so long!!! My Father is a Vietnam Vet!!! He passed 2 yrs ago and I feel like I needed this story in So many ways!!! I’m very moved by your story and Thank you for sharing it. I worked at a Va Hospital and I Love my Veterans 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸❤️God Bless you and your family !!!
My husband and myself bought a brand new Corvette C8 last year and the crazy amount of compliments and "I LOVE YOUR CAR!!" shouted from other drivers may seem like an odd "Kind Moments", but they are kind and fun!! We have enjoyed the excitement from other people almost as much as the sports car. Sorry Emily, but the media is a huge part of the "problems" people perceive to be happening in our wonderful country is in part because of the media. Hearing news about all of the amazing things people do for each other just does not make the news. Can you imagine a whole hour news segment devoted just to positive and kind things people do for each other or animals? That just would never happen. What you just did was one small way of showing the everyday kindness that does exist in our world. That's how it should work. If every one who is going to comment in this thread today were to share a similar story that they have experienced recently, that would start such a positive space. It would be so wonderful and I pray that can happen!!!
Em, finally a you tube creator that shows us how to use the soft sculpt properly. Your skin looks amazing. I will never stop watching you. You're content ideas are far above all others!
That story made me cry like a baby 🥹 Just remember, I’m sure he’s thinking the same about you and your family. I’m absolutely sure he’s touched he ran into such a beautiful, sweet, old school, good hearted family that still has beliefs, manners, and morals 💕 just love you Em. The kindness and appreciation you have is unreal. You make an impact on me (especially in this ugly world lately) so I know you have an impact on a lot more. 💖💘 so privileged to listen to and watch you in times like these (and always!)! I always think about what good, amazing people your children will grow up to be because of parents like you and Bub :)
Love love your story. Little did he know, you have a platform you can share his act of kindness on and spread the kindness even more ♥️ thank you for sharing!
This was the way EVERY RUclips video should be. You rocked it, and Sephora should hire you because I went straight to their website and bought 3 of the items you used. I love the story as well. Thank you for your goodness and genuine heart. A makeup video review made me teary. Who knew?
Little did he know he would touch your heart, but those of your subscribers with his gracious gift of human kindness. We can’t always know how our actions, good and sometimes bad, may affect someone for years. A simple thank you to a someone working in retail may lighten the load from a previous negative encounter. Compliments to a stranger may be a minute in your day, but may have a long reaching affect in the recipient. I still remember the dazzling smile and happy tunes the garbage man had when I was only 5 years old ( I am 65 now) all these years later he inspires me to lighten my step a bit, hum a happy tune and count my blessings. Thanks for sharing your story - it is a joyful moment we can all share and appreciate
Ok, that story made me cry in the most beautiful way!! You're right, amidst the chaos in life right now, there are still so many beautiful human moments to be had. Thank you for sharing.
Listen Girl, I am not a crier. Not a cry baby at all and I have tears running down my face! My hubby had quadruple bypass in Feb and I still never cried. (He’s doing great now!) I can picture you w the kiddos being so sweet and adorable. God love you Em. I never miss your vids. You’re just sweetest person and you bring us joy and hope every time we click on your vids. It’s our lil time of peace and comfort and knowing you’re out there in this world and also that gentleman.
Thank you for talking to us and posting so regularly Emily. I just moved across the country for a new job and I’m all alone. My husband joins me later this year but it’s a little lonely til then. I feel like I have a friend with me when I watch your videos. 🥰❤️.
Top Gun was so awesome! You have to go see it. I know you weren't jazzed about the Naked eye shadow palette, but your eyes is what stood out to me as very beautiful! Such a simple palette, but the end result was stunning!
Your story made me tear up. I know you weren’t overly impressed with the eye shadow but that’s one of my favorite eye looks I’ve seen in so long -super pretty! The Mario product looks really interesting.
Beautiful experience! Now, every time you see your flowers and the baskets, it will remind you of that day that touched your heart and the service that man gave our country for that encounter to happen. Whenever I feel rushed or impatient or wanting to be somewhere else I remind myself that God put me where I am at that perfect moment because it’s where I’m meant to be and to just enjoy living in the moment I’m in. It’s His plan, not mine, and sometimes we find out why and sometimes we don’t, but either way, I’m glad I’m there.
Thank you for sharing your sweet interaction with the Vietnam vet. You made me want to cry. There are some truly wonderful people out there. It's a shame we don't run across them more often.
Bawling. I’m so proud to call myself a veteran, not because of anything I’VE done but because of the amazing group of people I got to serve with from all eras. You are right, there’s still so much good in the world. Service before self (one of the AF core values) is a wonderful principle to teach our kids and it’s awesome yours got to see that in action so they understand what it’s really about. What a lovely man, I’m sure you made his day too!
Wow, I Love the story - the Veteran seeing a gift for him, a bundle of bright beautiful Love right there behind him, was just so perfect cuz he's seen some darkness!
Thanks for sharing that sweet story. As someone whose work is fairly isolated (don't see other people much). It is easy to see the news etc and forget that world still does have good kind people in it. ❤ Thanks for reminding me! 🥰
Thanks for sharing your story about the Veteran. It certainly warms yout heart when you hear of these things, especially in these days of such terrible world news. 💕
I know you probably don't read all the comments but I have to say your videos are very uplifting and informative at the same time. Your Lowes story made my day. I love visiting with older people. I recorded my grandma telling me stories that would have otherwise died with her. There is so much history that goes with them and they have a lifetime of stories to share. Your complexion products are wonderful today. That benefit pr package is beautiful. Do you remember the it cosmetics 3 pan compact from QVC that had the color correcting powder, blush. And bronzer? I used the cc powder in 3 compacts lol. I need a dupe for that.
Thank you for telling the story about the man who visited with you and your children then bought your flowers. I wish there was at least ONE story like that every day in the news. That story made my day. Thank you again.
The Elf Tan Line Bronzer I think is such a great product and shade for fair to medium skin tones if you want a great cream product that blends beautifully and lasts all day while looking for natural, not red, not orange like so many bronzers are but the perfect tone to give you that natural shadow and warmth and a little goes a very long way. I would compare it to the Huda beauty cream bronzer everyone loves so much. Have you tried the Physicians Formula stick concealer, it’s been around forever, Emily? It is so creamy (but not too creamy where it melts in a purse, but isn’t dry like so many stick concealers are, like Revlon Colorstay is) has great coverage, perfect formula and staying power, but still seriously lacks color options, but it would work for you and it is bomb, hidden gem for sure. And their Instaready concealer is also a gem people totally forgot about for a very full coverage concealer that stays in all weather or temps, works great for driest of dry under eye to more oily under eyes and doesn’t get crapey, fantastic for more mature skin because it blends in so well while looking like skin.
I’m so glad you shared that story…..what a beautiful example of human kindness that your children got to witness. When things like that happen it sure restores our faith in humanity! 🤗
I love seeing that Mario product all over the skin as most people have been using it just as a bronzer and I did think it would be a more all over product based on the description. What a wonderful story. Being kind to someone and having a conversation with them, please remember this could have been the only conversation he had with someone all day and could have made a huge difference to him. How wonderful he bought your flowers x
Oh Em! I really have to watch your videos before I apply my make-up for the day 😒. That was so heart warming and sweet that he paid for your flowers and a day later it still was making you emotional. You got me going to!
Totally cried when you were telling your story about buying flowers with the girls. Thanks for sharing on here, because RUclips is my main form of social media lol.
That was so sweet he paid for your flowers. A story like that just warms the soul. What he did was so kind & the way we should be. Then maybe we wouldn't be so divided in our Country. Get back to caring. I did grow up on Military bases and that's how everyone always was like.Even when I visited my grandmom in Philly all you saw was kindness & helping a stranger. My husband was amazed when we went took a trip to Philly how kind ppl were. We just need to get back to that in our Country.
Mario used the balm kinda like a contour and hiss powder like a bronzer. It’s all so confusing. lol What a great experience about your flowers. Shows me that there are still really kind people out there in this world we’re living in.
Beautiful look Emily! This world need more people like the gentleman you ran into at Lowes. You beautiful children will never forget that kindness and will no doubt pass along the same to others. What a kind man and you all will think of him every time you look at your flowers.
Hi Emily. What a great story and example for us all. Kindness, from you and the children, and then in turn from this gentlemen. You didn't cry, but I did - after all no make-up on me yet. Just drinking Saturday morning coffee with an Emily Noel video. I have to say I'm not sure that you realize the kindness you share with your videos - it's like having coffee with a friend. It's been a heavy few months for me (non-COVID related) and you have made a difference. Thank you for being you (and a fellow blush addict - lol). Have a good weekend.
That is such a sweet story. Makayla showed these on her social media but used a filter so glad you showed them (one) with out a filter so much truer in how the blush actually looks like
Totally agree that all of us need to be kind and spread positivity, the world would definitely be a better place if more people followed that gentleman’s example xx
Why do we love makeup? Is it because it makes us feel like a kid opening presents? Love the joy in your videos. Also the videos where you express what you're going through. Have a wonderful day!
Hi Emily, thank you for sharing the story, it brought tears to my eyes. There are good people, unfortunately right now so many bad things are happening, we need more kindness in our lives.🌷🌷
So nice that Benefit sent you their new blushes. I can't wait to hear more about them. I like the box packaging for the environment and to tap off my brush, very convenient. The story of the Vet paying for your flowers was so sweet and how the kids responded. You are raising your kids very well, for their caring and thankfullness was on full display. Thanks for the run-down on all of the products. :)
What a sweet story! 💕 I agree, we need a news channel that only highlights how many beautiful people are out there. And the new Benefit blushes and the Mario complexion enhancer excited me more than a makeup release has in years. Oh, and the UD new naked mini palettes are a staple for me already. I bought 3 of the blushes and they are my new HG 😍 the performance, colors & packaging are beautiful! I can’t wait to get the Mario products in the mail. Have a great day, Em! ❤️
I love these types of videos!! Innovative products are the BEST. One thing I noticed last year too, it's not that eyeshadow palettes aren't important right now it's just that the brands are saving their best palettes for the fall/winter while the rest of the year they focus on complexion.
Thank you for your comforting story about the Viet Nam veteran. Lots of those "boys" were not treated well when they came home, because of anti-war sentiments. But, many had been drafted. Even the volunteers were doing what our government asked them to do. You set a wonderful example for your children when you thanked him, as well as your talk with them afterwards.
Hi Emily, your story reminds me of a series that I loved from you a year ago or so. You talked for a few minutes on life, love, and some deeper reflections. I loved that last summer as my life was changing. I am feeling a similar turmoil with the state of the world right now, and would love something similar ❤️ a self care thoughts type of video. Thank you for sharing your experiences.
Emily I love your life stories and really enjoy hearing about the kids and the family. You always inspire me to be better. You are much more than a make up channel to me. Thank you!!!!!
Oh goodness that story was so touching. He was lucky to meet you too, you both enhanced each others day 😍. Top Gun is incredible, don't wait to see it 😀 x
Thank you for sharing your experience with the Viet Nam Veteran... while you go on appreciating HIS gesture... I think of YOUR gesture and the kindness of your three kids! My soon to be ex is a Viet Nam era vet.. he is a great dad, great grandpa, and a great, great grandpa ... but our kids all live out of state, and the grandkids are even further spread out ( one granddaughter being in the Navy, and one grandson being in the Army Reserves). He loves any opportunity to pay it forward .. especially when it comes to talking to and enjoying children.. in today's day and age , families are still spread far and wide .. it can leave a void in one's life.. perhaps you and your kids filled that void for that gentleman just a little bit .. for a little while... a win win for everyone. And yes.. there are still more kind hearted people in our world than the ones we seem to be hearing about lately.. keep your heart wide open so that your kids see that and then keep their own hearts open as well.. you and they, are the future for our country! The make up by Mario product kind of reminds me of a Joah product I have in samples ... I think I'll give that a go today! Thanks for the inspiration! Have a wonderful weekend!
I loved your story and your message….so heartwarming! You get what you put out…and that’s why you had that beautiful interaction! I try to remind myself daily that there are still good, caring people in this world! Love you, Emily! And this look is beautiful!
I am going to enjoy this video so much Emily. You have the best reviews for products. I love our Vets and our troops, they keep us free and I am so thankful too. We owe them so much. I love the Mario product and the concealer is great. Great look and great job Emily and we love you too.🌹
Oh my goodness you have me in tears right now. What a great story. When I have a couple extra dollars I try and do little things like that for people to show that not everyone is heartless or to busy to show kindness. Emily thank you for sharing with us. 🦋
Your videos just always lift the mood Emily 💐 I can’t wait to see these goodies especially the Benefit bronzer. Have a lovely weekend with the fam 😊 Love ya
That’s such a beautiful sweet story!!! It’s beautiful the kids got to interact with with him. On a different note, I wonder if you could use a light cream bronzer in the same way??
I was crying! Veterans are so special. They have earned the utmost respect, but often times are very modest and feel undeserving. My husband is a veteran. No matter how many times someone thanks him for his service, it makes his day and he definitely doesn’t expect anyone to say anything! I challenge everyone that reads this comment to thank everyone veteran you come in contact with! It truly does mean so much to them.
Thank you so much for sharing about your visit with the man at Lowe's. You are 100% right that we should give nuggets of goodness shout outs! Good, kind people are in our midst! I'm really looking forward to more about the benefit blushes! Please don't wait til fall to talk about the berry shades!!! Sending you & yours grateful hugs.
Thank you for the goosebumps... you are absolutely right, we need to shout these stories from the rooftops. Thanks for sharing bc I've been feeling down about mankind these days. Xo love you
Love the Mario product. I bought mine and used it today for the first time. I used it on my forehead, cheeks, across the nose, around the jawline, and down the neck.. loved the warmth it provided. Beautiful product
I still watch your older videos all the time !!! I just so happen watched the one where you were using the Bobbie Brown corrector with the powder on the bottom 😄
Emily; you have such a good heart. Thank you for sharing the wonderful story of meeting the vet. You are right.....we need more stories of human goodness. ❤
That mascara with ball tip was absolutely the BEST mascara ever!! One night in the Emergency Dept where I work, a belligerent drunk woman asked, "Are you even a doctor? Dr. Mascara, that's who you are! Dr. Mascara!!!" The RN and I fell out laughing and it has been my nickname since!
Thank you for thanking him. Vietnam vets have never gotten enough recognition. My dad lost both legs in Vietnam and he won't wear a hat advertising that he's a vet because of the way they were treated when they got back home. My dad didn't want to go, he was drafted. But he did go and paid a huge price. I thanked a Vietnam vet once and he was so touched that he shared some of his some of his story with me. It was truly awful what they had to endure. So it makes me happy to know that some people are thanking them now.
That’s so sweet that he paid for your flowers 🥺 I think the world gets a little brighter when we pay it forward. I try to do that when I can because I know how much it can mean to someone else. And it makes my heart happy too 🥰
absolutely. So kind!!

@@LoveABun as a makeup artist and hairstylist for almost 20 years I say do what makes you happy. BUT yes shimmer will make your texture on eyes come out more and lines and wrinkles.

My Daddy passed away from pancreatic cancer on 5/1/2022. He was a school bus driver, but he had an amazing impact on his kids! He was a retired coal miner, and had a heart transplant in 2016, and went back to work, and decided to drive a school bus. I cannot tell you the kids who came to his visitation!

So many veterans from the Vietnam Era were treated very badly when they first came home from war in the 1960's and 1970's. Attitudes towards the military changed drastically by the time of the First Gulf War in 1990/1991. These veterans were honored and celebrated, both when they deployed and when they returned home. Many Vietnam Vets seemed to feel left out at the time. I often heard vets say, "Nobody threw ME a parade when I got home!"
As a veteran who served in the Marines during (mostly) peacetime, from 1980-1988, I can tell you that the fact that you reached out and thanked this man for his service really meant a lot to him. As much as his kindness in paying for your flowers touched your heart, your kindness towards him touched his soul.
Thank you for your kindness to one of my brothers.
Thank you for sharing your story, Emily! My husband had a similar situation at the grocery store last week. He struck up a conversation with the woman in front of him.... and she said, "Oh just add your things to my order!" He declined, but that act of kindness stayed with us. There are such wonderful people in this world!!
So glad you shared the vet story. I agree 100% that we need to talk about the good things that happen. There are certainly many wonderful people around. All hope is not lost! Kind, honorable people are still out and about in force and it's good to be reminded of that.
I live in Denmark. Being a minimalistic skandinavian i have never put on falsh lashes. In many ways we live very different lives, but i love LOVE you (not a very ordinary statement from a introverted skandinavian) but i do. You are so genuine, sweet and kind. I love your stories and i have followed you for many years now. I wish you and your family the very best. 🌺

Top Gun is SO GOOD! Make sure to see it in IMAX though. I’m not one that is usually an IMAX person but this movie is worth it!
My husband is an active duty Marine, and I was having a HARD day at the grocery store when my daughter was ~6 months old. She had food allergies and reflux, and was just always a colicky baby. Taking her out alone was so overwhelming for me, but my husband was away so, had to be done. I was juggling her being fussy and waiting in a long line at the grocery store, when the man behind me started to make small talk with me-and I won’t lie, at first I was annoyed. Like, can’t he see I’m trying to do my best with this fussy baby and not piss off the whole store with her crying? But he was really sweet and chatted over her cries. He told me he had been in the army and I was a living reminder that he never truly appreciated all the ways his wife had to step up for their family while he was gone. That alone was encouraging, just to be recognized, but he then paid for my $100 worth of groceries. I was a complete mess after that and asked how I could repay him, and he told me to keep loving my family and showing up for them. It was such a blessing ❤️
My husband is Vietnam vet and a truly good guy! You brought me a good cry…thank you😇
Oh Emily you had me tearing up before my morning coffee! I agree we need to SHOUT those good people stories from the rooftops! I saw your IG story too and teared up then too! So sweet and kind! And Bubba saying thank you- what a doll you have raised in those kids. Kudos to you! Can’t wait to hear the Benefit blush round up!!!! HUGS!!!!! Xoxoxox
I LOVED 🥰 hearing your heart felt encounter at Lowes with the kids ❤️. My entire family is USMC , and I can tell you a thousand percent with confidence the huge hearts our Marines have in this family in spite of all the trials and tribulations we’ve overcome ! Everyday is appreciated bcuz we’re so blessed 🙏to have the life we have , and take nothing for granted.
And there isn’t a day that goes by that we don’t laugh,love ,and embrace each other in that love . Our son-in-law is a Captain in the USMC , and barely made it out of Afghanistan with his fellow Marines last summer, so yes , we always try to be kind & thoughtful to others , NO MATTER WHO THEY ARE 😊👍❤️! It’s just the way we roll in this family 😍🇺🇸❤️❣️
You made me cry with the story about the Veteran paying for your flowers - your family was a blessing to him and he wanted to thank you for that - so beautiful. 🤍🤍🤍 Thanks for sharing that, it helps me too.
Me too 🌺
Made me cry too!
Most people are just genuine, normal people. I was at Tom Leonard's the other day getting some meat cut into steaks and the butcher commented on my "Back the Blue" t shirt. Said his brother is a cop, and we exchanged thanks for his service and for my support of the police, along with other random pleasantries.. It made my day.
Your interaction with this older gentleman is exactly what is missing in our current generation. We feel it's heartwarming and remarkable, but that's because the days of being friendly, of sharing smiles and making a generous gesture are so rare now. I'm sure he's thinking of you and the kids too! You never know what his story is...maybe he misses his kids and grandkids, or maybe he doesn't have any. Or maybe he thinks of his daughter when he interacted with you. Whatever his story, God places people in our path at the right time.
Loved the story you shared about the veteran. I have three sons all teen agers now but when they were small I would thank veterans for their service (still do) and they saw me do this. At a young age they started doing it without me even directing them and it warms my heart to see it. One time we were at a Starbucks and there was an active duty guy in line behind us and my son whispered "mom, you should buy his coffee". When I see my sons live out the kindness to others which I diligently taught them in their youth it makes so proud. So, your kids will remember that man and I just bet that at some point they will pay forward what he did for you guys and girl...that's what it's all about. Love you Em...and love your family. Best wishes.
I heard the story in insta and it just warms my heart. Ppl can’t imagine what a simple smile a compliment or a nice gesture can mean to ppl. This past few weeks I have felt so saddened by what is going on in the world and this story just gives hope in humanity. Totally agree we need to share these stories share the goodness we still have in this world.
I love the story of the gentleman who paid for your flowers ❤️ Thanks for encouraging kindness and gratefulness ❤️
(…and I also really want to see the new Top Gun movie! 😍)
totally crying while eating breakfast!!!!! 😭❤
Such a heart warming story, but I think the most important aspect is when you stated that ‘Bubba said thank you without me even telling him.’ He’s modeling the behavior he sees on a daily basis, so many forget that the 0-5 years are the character building years with children.
Love hearing “feel good” stories from real people about real people. It soothes the soul and naturally make the tears swells, (grabbing tissue as I write).
But sincerely, I am grateful to have heard you recount this kind act along with sharing your thoughts on how it’s positively impacted all of you there. I especially admire how your children naturally showed their own appreciation. My professional nanny opinion: Unprompted “thank you’s” from little ones speaks volumes about the positive way they are being raised! (Thank you for passing on your wonderfully loving philosophy of life to those three beautiful children!!❤️)
Emily I have watched you for so long!!! My Father is a Vietnam Vet!!! He passed 2 yrs ago and I feel like I needed this story in So many ways!!! I’m very moved by your story and Thank you for sharing it. I worked at a Va Hospital and I Love my Veterans 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸❤️God Bless you and your family !!!
My husband and myself bought a brand new Corvette C8 last year and the crazy amount of compliments and "I LOVE YOUR CAR!!" shouted from other drivers may seem like an odd "Kind Moments", but they are kind and fun!! We have enjoyed the excitement from other people almost as much as the sports car.
Sorry Emily, but the media is a huge part of the "problems" people perceive to be happening in our wonderful country is in part because of the media. Hearing news about all of the amazing things people do for each other just does not make the news. Can you imagine a whole hour news segment devoted just to positive and kind things people do for each other or animals? That just would never happen.
What you just did was one small way of showing the everyday kindness that does exist in our world. That's how it should work. If every one who is going to comment in this thread today were to share a similar story that they have experienced recently, that would start such a positive space. It would be so wonderful and I pray that can happen!!!
Em, finally a you tube creator that shows us how to use the soft sculpt properly. Your skin looks amazing. I will never stop watching you. You're content ideas are far above all others!
The color “sin” in that little Urban Decay palette is in their original Naked Palette. It was my favorite lid shade in the original Naked palette.
That story made me cry like a baby 🥹 Just remember, I’m sure he’s thinking the same about you and your family. I’m absolutely sure he’s touched he ran into such a beautiful, sweet, old school, good hearted family that still has beliefs, manners, and morals 💕 just love you Em. The kindness and appreciation you have is unreal. You make an impact on me (especially in this ugly world lately) so I know you have an impact on a lot more. 💖💘 so privileged to listen to and watch you in times like these (and always!)! I always think about what good, amazing people your children will grow up to be because of parents like you and Bub :)
Love love your story. Little did he know, you have a platform you can share his act of kindness on and spread the kindness even more ♥️ thank you for sharing!
This was the way EVERY RUclips video should be. You rocked it, and Sephora should hire you because I went straight to their website and bought 3 of the items you used. I love the story as well. Thank you for your goodness and genuine heart. A makeup video review made me teary. Who knew?
Little did he know he would touch your heart, but those of your subscribers with his gracious gift of human kindness. We can’t always know how our actions, good and sometimes bad, may affect someone for years. A simple thank you to a someone working in retail may lighten the load from a previous negative encounter. Compliments to a stranger may be a minute in your day, but may have a long reaching affect in the recipient. I still remember the dazzling smile and happy tunes the garbage man had when I was only 5 years old ( I am 65 now) all these years later he inspires me to lighten my step a bit, hum a happy tune and count my blessings. Thanks for sharing your story - it is a joyful moment we can all share and appreciate
Ok, that story made me cry in the most beautiful way!! You're right, amidst the chaos in life right now, there are still so many beautiful human moments to be had. Thank you for sharing.
That man was so sweet! Yes it's easy to focus on the negative of the world instead of the good. Thank you for sharing!
Listen Girl, I am not a crier. Not a cry baby at all and I have tears running down my face! My hubby had quadruple bypass in Feb and I still never cried. (He’s doing great now!) I can picture you w the kiddos being so sweet and adorable. God love you Em. I never miss your vids. You’re just sweetest person and you bring us joy and hope every time we click on your vids. It’s our lil time of peace and comfort and knowing you’re out there in this world and also that gentleman.
Thank you for talking to us and posting so regularly Emily. I just moved across the country for a new job and I’m all alone. My husband joins me later this year but it’s a little lonely til then. I feel like I have a friend with me when I watch your videos. 🥰❤️.
You are very brave, Emily! Take this alone time to focus on You, make your needs a priority, love and be good to yourself! 💘
Absolutely loved the Lowes story and about spreading the stories of kindness. Thank you for thanking a veteran! 💙
Top Gun was so awesome! You have to go see it. I know you weren't jazzed about the Naked eye shadow palette, but your eyes is what stood out to me as very beautiful! Such a simple palette, but the end result was stunning!
Your story made me tear up. I know you weren’t overly impressed with the eye shadow but that’s one of my favorite eye looks I’ve seen in so long -super pretty! The Mario product looks really interesting.
Beautiful experience! Now, every time you see your flowers and the baskets, it will remind you of that day that touched your heart and the service that man gave our country for that encounter to happen. Whenever I feel rushed or impatient or wanting to be somewhere else I remind myself that God put me where I am at that perfect moment because it’s where I’m meant to be and to just enjoy living in the moment I’m in. It’s His plan, not mine, and sometimes we find out why and sometimes we don’t, but either way, I’m glad I’m there.
Thank you for sharing your sweet interaction with the Vietnam vet. You made me want to cry. There are some truly wonderful people out there. It's a shame we don't run across them more often.
Bawling. I’m so proud to call myself a veteran, not because of anything I’VE done but because of the amazing group of people I got to serve with from all eras. You are right, there’s still so much good in the world. Service before self (one of the AF core values) is a wonderful principle to teach our kids and it’s awesome yours got to see that in action so they understand what it’s really about. What a lovely man, I’m sure you made his day too!
Wow, I Love the story - the Veteran seeing a gift for him, a bundle of bright beautiful Love right there behind him, was just so perfect cuz he's seen some darkness!
I wasn’t alive during the war in Vietnam but I have yet to meet a vet who talks about their experience. I can only imagine what those folks endured!
Thanks for sharing that sweet story. As someone whose work is fairly isolated (don't see other people much). It is easy to see the news etc and forget that world still does have good kind people in it. ❤ Thanks for reminding me! 🥰
This video is why I will always be a subscriber. Reminds the world of what a good person is like.
Thanks for sharing your story about the Veteran. It certainly warms yout heart when you hear of these things, especially in these days of such terrible world news. 💕
I know you probably don't read all the comments but I have to say your videos are very uplifting and informative at the same time. Your Lowes story made my day. I love visiting with older people. I recorded my grandma telling me stories that would have otherwise died with her. There is so much history that goes with them and they have a lifetime of stories to share. Your complexion products are wonderful today. That benefit pr package is beautiful. Do you remember the it cosmetics 3 pan compact from QVC that had the color correcting powder, blush. And bronzer? I used the cc powder in 3 compacts lol. I need a dupe for that.
Thank you for telling the story about the man who visited with you and your children then bought your flowers. I wish there was at least ONE story like that every day in the news. That story made my day. Thank you again.
As a daughter of a Vietnam vet,your story touched me so much and made me cry.Thank you dear for sharing with us.😍
The Elf Tan Line Bronzer I think is such a great product and shade for fair to medium skin tones if you want a great cream product that blends beautifully and lasts all day while looking for natural, not red, not orange like so many bronzers are but the perfect tone to give you that natural shadow and warmth and a little goes a very long way. I would compare it to the Huda beauty cream bronzer everyone loves so much.
Have you tried the Physicians Formula stick concealer, it’s been around forever, Emily? It is so creamy (but not too creamy where it melts in a purse, but isn’t dry like so many stick concealers are, like Revlon Colorstay is) has great coverage, perfect formula and staying power, but still seriously lacks color options, but it would work for you and it is bomb, hidden gem for sure. And their Instaready concealer is also a gem people totally forgot about for a very full coverage concealer that stays in all weather or temps, works great for driest of dry under eye to more oily under eyes and doesn’t get crapey, fantastic for more mature skin because it blends in so well while looking like skin.
I’m so glad you shared that story…..what a beautiful example of human kindness that your children got to witness. When things like that happen it sure restores our faith in humanity! 🤗
I love seeing that Mario product all over the skin as most people have been using it just as a bronzer and I did think it would be a more all over product based on the description. What a wonderful story. Being kind to someone and having a conversation with them, please remember this could have been the only conversation he had with someone all day and could have made a huge difference to him. How wonderful he bought your flowers x
Love that story! And we definitely need to share these kind of blessings. Now you’ll be reminded of him every time you see your flowers 🌸 💐🌺🌷🌹🌻🥀🌼
Bless this veteran… and bless you for articulating how important it is to share the nuggets of good we experience in day-to-day life.
Oh Em! I really have to watch your videos before I apply my make-up for the day 😒. That was so heart warming and sweet that he paid for your flowers and a day later it still was making you emotional. You got me going to!
I love stories like the one you shared. There is so much goodness in the world, and every act of kindness, no matter how small, is so important!
Totally cried when you were telling your story about buying flowers with the girls. Thanks for sharing on here, because RUclips is my main form of social media lol.
Emily I loved your story.🙏🏽💕🙏🏽 I agree we need to shot the nuggets of goodness!!!!! We are watching Maverick today I am excited as well.❤️🇺🇸
That was so sweet he paid for your flowers. A story like that just warms the soul. What he did was so kind & the way we should be. Then maybe we wouldn't be so divided in our Country. Get back to caring. I did grow up on Military bases and that's how everyone always was like.Even when I visited my grandmom in Philly all you saw was kindness & helping a stranger. My husband was amazed when we went took a trip to Philly how kind ppl were. We just need to get back to that in our Country.
Mario used the balm kinda like a contour and hiss powder like a bronzer. It’s all so confusing. lol What a great experience about your flowers. Shows me that there are still really kind people out there in this world we’re living in.
Beautiful look Emily! This world need more people like the gentleman you ran into at Lowes. You beautiful children will never forget that kindness and will no doubt pass along the same to others. What a kind man and you all will think of him every time you look at your flowers.
Hi Emily. What a great story and example for us all. Kindness, from you and the children, and then in turn from this gentlemen. You didn't cry, but I did - after all no make-up on me yet. Just drinking Saturday morning coffee with an Emily Noel video. I have to say I'm not sure that you realize the kindness you share with your videos - it's like having coffee with a friend. It's been a heavy few months for me (non-COVID related) and you have made a difference. Thank you for being you (and a fellow blush addict - lol). Have a good weekend.
Yes! What Meagan said! 💕💕
That is such a sweet story. Makayla showed these on her social media but used a filter so glad you showed them (one) with out a filter so much truer in how the blush actually looks like
Totally agree that all of us need to be kind and spread positivity, the world would definitely be a better place if more people followed that gentleman’s example xx
Sharing kindness is what keeps us humble and grateful. Thank you!
Why do we love makeup? Is it because it makes us feel like a kid opening presents? Love the joy in your videos. Also the videos where you express what you're going through. Have a wonderful day!
Hi Emily, thank you for sharing the story, it brought tears to my eyes. There are good people, unfortunately right now so many bad things are happening, we need more kindness in our lives.🌷🌷
There are definitely more wonderful people out there than we can imagine. ❤️☮️
That eyeshadow palette reminds me a lot of the old Urban Decay Naked: On The Run eye and face palette!
So nice that Benefit sent you their new blushes. I can't wait to hear more about them. I like the box packaging for the environment and to tap off my brush, very convenient. The story of the Vet paying for your flowers was so sweet and how the kids responded. You are raising your kids very well, for their caring and thankfullness was on full display. Thanks for the run-down on all of the products. :)
That Mario stuff looks incredible.
The flower story is so heart warming. Very very sweet.
What a sweet story! 💕 I agree, we need a news channel that only highlights how many beautiful people are out there.
And the new Benefit blushes and the Mario complexion enhancer excited me more than a makeup release has in years. Oh, and the UD new naked mini palettes are a staple for me already. I bought 3 of the blushes and they are my new HG 😍 the performance, colors & packaging are beautiful! I can’t wait to get the Mario products in the mail. Have a great day, Em! ❤️
I love these types of videos!! Innovative products are the BEST. One thing I noticed last year too, it's not that eyeshadow palettes aren't important right now it's just that the brands are saving their best palettes for the fall/winter while the rest of the year they focus on complexion.
good morning em!!! I feel like Saturday has officially started now that we're sitting down and doing makeup together
Yay!! Love that!
That was a beautiful story. Made me tear up and it was great for your children to see that too.
Thank you for your comforting story about the Viet Nam veteran. Lots of those "boys" were not treated well when they came home, because of anti-war sentiments. But, many had been drafted. Even the volunteers were doing what our government asked them to do. You set a wonderful example for your children when you thanked him, as well as your talk with them afterwards.
Hi Emily, your story reminds me of a series that I loved from you a year ago or so. You talked for a few minutes on life, love, and some deeper reflections. I loved that last summer as my life was changing. I am feeling a similar turmoil with the state of the world right now, and would love something similar ❤️ a self care thoughts type of video. Thank you for sharing your experiences.
Emily I love your life stories and really enjoy hearing about the kids and the family. You always inspire me to be better. You are much more than a make up channel to me. Thank you!!!!!
Agree 100%. At 63 Emily makes me want to be better ❤️☮️
Diane yes I am 63 also. She is just like her special veteran because she spreads joy also
Truely love the heart warming story about your interaction with the kind Vietnam vet. Sending love to you and to all our vets and their families
Oh goodness that story was so touching. He was lucky to meet you too, you both enhanced each others day 😍. Top Gun is incredible, don't wait to see it 😀 x
Thank you for sharing your experience with the Viet Nam Veteran... while you go on appreciating HIS gesture... I think of YOUR gesture and the kindness of your three kids! My soon to be ex is a Viet Nam era vet.. he is a great dad, great grandpa, and a great, great grandpa ... but our kids all live out of state, and the grandkids are even further spread out ( one granddaughter being in the Navy, and one grandson being in the Army Reserves). He loves any opportunity to pay it forward .. especially when it comes to talking to and enjoying children.. in today's day and age , families are still spread far and wide .. it can leave a void in one's life.. perhaps you and your kids filled that void for that gentleman just a little bit .. for a little while... a win win for everyone. And yes.. there are still more kind hearted people in our world than the ones we seem to be hearing about lately.. keep your heart wide open so that your kids see that and then keep their own hearts open as well.. you and they, are the future for our country!
The make up by Mario product kind of reminds me of a Joah product I have in samples ... I think I'll give that a go today! Thanks for the inspiration!
Have a wonderful weekend!
I loved your story and your message….so heartwarming! You get what you put out…and that’s why you had that beautiful interaction! I try to remind myself daily that there are still good, caring people in this world!
Love you, Emily! And this look is beautiful!
I am going to enjoy this video so much Emily. You have the best reviews for products. I love our Vets and our troops, they keep us free and I am so thankful too. We owe them so much. I love the Mario product and the concealer is great. Great look and great job Emily and we love you too.🌹
I recently had a similar interaction with someone. I too shared it to let people know there is still good in the world. Stunning look.
Seriously one of my favorite looks you have done! And I’ve been a subscriber for more years than I know! You are beautiful inside and out! 💚
Oh my goodness you have me in tears right now. What a great story. When I have a couple extra dollars I try and do little things like that for people to show that not everyone is heartless or to busy to show kindness. Emily thank you for sharing with us. 🦋
Your videos just always lift the mood Emily 💐 I can’t wait to see these goodies especially the Benefit bronzer. Have a lovely weekend with the fam 😊 Love ya
aww thank you!! Love you too, Virginia!
That’s such a beautiful sweet story!!! It’s beautiful the kids got to interact with with him. On a different note, I wonder if you could use a light cream bronzer in the same way??
I was crying!
Veterans are so special. They have earned the utmost respect, but often times are very modest and feel undeserving.
My husband is a veteran. No matter how many times someone thanks him for his service, it makes his day and he definitely doesn’t expect anyone to say anything!
I challenge everyone that reads this comment to thank everyone veteran you come in contact with! It truly does mean so much to them.
The new Top Gun was SO good! I loved it! I was so excited about the new Benefit blushes, I already have 3 :)
Thank you so much for sharing about your visit with the man at Lowe's. You are 100% right that we should give nuggets of goodness shout outs! Good, kind people are in our midst! I'm really looking forward to more about the benefit blushes! Please don't wait til fall to talk about the berry shades!!! Sending you & yours grateful hugs.
That is so touching that he paid for your flowers. What a kind soul. ❤
LOL. You made me cry with that story. Thank you for telling everyone!!!!!
What a great story. My dad did 5 tours in Vietnam. Green Beret, 82nd Airborne. I love watching your videos & I'm old enough to be your mom
Thank you for the goosebumps... you are absolutely right, we need to shout these stories from the rooftops. Thanks for sharing bc I've been feeling down about mankind these days. Xo love you
Love the Mario product. I bought mine and used it today for the first time. I used it on my forehead, cheeks, across the nose, around the jawline, and down the neck.. loved the warmth it provided. Beautiful product
I still watch your older videos all the time !!! I just so happen watched the one where you were using the Bobbie Brown corrector with the powder on the bottom 😄
Saturday already!? Have a great weekend guys, stay safe 🥰🥰🤗
What a sweet guy! Precious lasting memory for you, him and your children!
Today I used the Wants and the Needs palettes and it will always be my ride or die choice. Thanks so much. Your creativity is appreciated.
aw Ann thank you so much!!
Loved your story 😍. It made me well up. Yes, we do need to share these types of stories from the rooftops. Inspiring, convicting. Let's be the light!
We attract what we are - in your case - it's your authenticity and kindness! xoxoxo
Emily; you have such a good heart. Thank you for sharing the wonderful story of meeting the vet. You are right.....we need more stories of human goodness. ❤
