Of course we're still here, Gemma! And the fact you can laugh at yourself makes you all the more endearing. Thanks for all the drugstore recommendations!
I loved your video. As Americans we sometimes find the British accent to be a little too formal. And your silly side diffuses the formality and is refreshing. You are so good at what you do, it's lovely to see you being human. Makes everyone love you all the more. Great work as always!
Hi Gemma..some lovely products..would there be any chance you and your mother could do a morning and evening skin care comparing what you both use for the age difference..it would be much appreciated and help me alot xx
Hi Gemma!!! What an Awesome video today! Absolutely love this format..the longer the better. I truly appreciate all your effort you put in making your recommendations and love your bubbly personality! Hope you get some much needed rest!❤
Pretty much love anything Elf and NYX. The NYX brow pencil and Snatch are sheer perfection for my brows! Yes in Ash Brown and I have grey hair but looks so natural! Thanks for all your wearing and testing. Great choices.
I bought my first brow micropen from nyx because of you and it's my HG, i use ash brown and espresso, lift n snatch and thick it stick it brow gel, can't do my brows without 😅 Foundations from Loreal, tinted serum and infalible fresh wear, also the infalible bronzer... Catrice and wet n wild highlighters are so good and the new one from essence Essence longwear eye liners ❤ and Revlon super lustrous shine lipsticks, a lot of really good makeup from drugstore lately ❤❤❤
Would love more drugstore videos cost of living crisis has us all tightening our belts do videos like this are really useful the comments section is always full of great recommendations too it's a great community on this channel 🥰
So many goodies to check out ! Of course made it to the end, no problem at all ! Thanks for taking the time to put all these gems together for us, and I have several of the NYX Butter Glosses. Love them all ! ☺️💜☺️
I adore the ELF halo glow. I purchased the CT Hollywood FF mini and loved it too but am glad I didn't get the full size, I love the ELF version that much. I wore it today after I applied my concealer and even set it with powder (both versions are a little too glowy for me) and it looked just sooooo pretty on my dry, mature skin.
I'm a retired beauty therapist. Trained for two years and often going on refresher courses. We always used Revlon. The tutors liked it and that, says alot imo
Still here 😂 love a longer video … and am now off shopping to buy lots of the mentioned products because I always appreciate your recommendations! Thank you ❤
Yes I absolute love the glow shots.....if u apply a glitter glue or glitter primer before I apply it then it appears a bit more radiant but they are honestly beautiful as a less intense shimmer shadow
Personally love this kind of video. So helpful for those of us who can't go buying high-end brands but don't want to waste money on low-quality either.
I have never felt inclined to watch videos about makeup and the few I did watched, I didn't enjoy. Yours, however, I love 🥰 I've bought more makeup from your recommendations in the last 6 months than I have in the last 5 years 😂 Your videos are brilliant; funny, self depreciating and full of information I never knew I needed but now can't get enough of. Your hard work is much appreciated and I hope you got a good night's sleep following this shoot 😘
Of course I have the nyx eyebrow products, you got me on their pencil years ago and it's remained a favourite. I used to use Babor top coat, it's pricey but good. However, I no longer use it because I've used the Revlon gel top coat since you first mentioned it. It's just fantastic, my nails can, very easily, last 10 days without a chip!!!! There's so many products you mentioned in this vid that I want to try and at drugstore prices, I actually CAN 😊 I've giggled so much watching this vid ... One day I'd love to see the "BLOOPERS" 🤣🤣🤣 Oh yes, I LOVE your longer vids 🥰 Love you loads and loads 🤍💗🤍💗🤍💗🤍💗🤍
I use the NYX brow pencil in Ash Brown and the Revlon Ultra HD SNAP nail polish on your recommendations. I am now in the second week with that nail polish and it still looks great.
Love your videos, Gemma! Made it all the way through, and I’ve watched the part about the eyeshadows several times to try and figure out if you have all 3 shades on to create that look? Or just one? Thanks!! 💖
You did great! I never would have known you struggled if you hadn't brought it up. I made it to the end. Say, one suggestion is to substitute an over-the-counter product when you recommend beauty pie for those of us that don't belong to that service. That would be very helpful to have that information also. Thank you so much!
I've only just watched this and it's THE BEST!!!!! I love and trust your recommendations, Gemma, and to find 'high end' formulations for affordable prices is a no brainer. I'll definitely be looking out for another of this type of drug store video from you because who doesn't like to save their pennies?!!! 🤷♀ And yes, I made it to the end.... love your openness and honesty. X
I’d love to see the uncut version of your videos. I enjoy them in the edited format but you make me smile throughout all your videos but I would really love to see the uncut ones
Stayed to the end! You are so fun to watch and really appreciate all y,our hard work. I can’t wait to try some of the nail polish. Thanks again for such a fun video❤
Primark do great gel effect nail polish and they have that curved brush like the Maybelline they're £1-£2.50 have base and top coat too I have many colours they dry lovely with beautiful glossy finish they have matte top coat too if you prefer that last a really long time on the nails
Hi Gemma. I've had a good laugh throughout this video, it's amazing how many products I've bought on your recommendation, even joining Beauty Pie which as been a godsend. I'm off to find the L'Oreal shiny stain!! It's just got to be done. Thank you Gemma it's always a pleasure. xx💖💖💖💖
Loved, loved, loved this video. The Nyx Glow Shot and Butter lip, also Halo Glow are all on my list now. More like these, yes please 🥰😍!!! You looked stunning in this ❤️
I live in central FL, USA (hot & humid rear round). I've always kept my nail polishes in the fridge - I have some that I still use that are over 40 years old!!
Love your videos please keep them coming. Very sweet your family is being so quite, and yes we all have those days when our pronunciation is not great but you take it all in stride and we all have a little giggle.
You are precious, we all make mistakes. I want to applaud you. I could never talk on camera. Love your videos and suggestions on products. Thank you so much for your honest opinions.
Thanks Gemma for an awesome video and yes would love more drugstore recommendations. Life has become so expensive so anywhere we can save but sti😮ll look and feel great is very welcomed!! ❤
Still her 😂 loved it , like watching your videos, you're so funny, honest and I learn so much from you. Definitely would like more videos like this one please
Well done Gemma… a superb video with some superb products … I’ve got to hand it to you, you certainly have a great vocabulary & never get flustered… & you can laugh at yourself … I really enjoyed it, thank you !!! You’re a true artist …
WOW! I did make it to end...i would never shut you down, no matter how long!!! And, i must say, you look absolutely GORGEOUS today...you look like yummy, ripe peach😊 Thank you so much for all your legwork 😊😊😊
I’ve had that brow gel for ages and it’s still going, I alway use it for my fly aways in my parting, it’s the only thing that seems to work without making my hair feel rubbish
Waterproof mascara are the only mascaras that work for me. I have straight downward lashes, and it needs that waterproof version to keep it up and curled.
Thanks for the recommendations. I am about 10 years older than you and didn't know that Revlon and Maybelline do nail polish 😮! How did I not know?? I do buy most of my cosmetics and skincare online because I find the choice in Boots, Superdrug etc, just too overwhelming! Will also give E L F a try. I did watch you all the way to the end - my husband came in and wanted to know where your mum was😂😂! Lovely video!!
What a great video. Lots of fab recommendations. I have to say I think elf are the best high street brand at the moment. Both their skincare and makeup is hard to beat and the affordable price is the icing on the cake.
Wouldn’t leave one of your videos, no matter how long it took. Love when you mess up. It makes you more lovable. I am also a clumsy, so appreciate plastic packaging. I love the Sephora Cream Lip Stain. It lasts a long time and doesn’t dry my lips out like other products.
Ok so is this elf halo glow a primer of sorts? Think I’ll try it. I’m liking ELF makeup more & more. Your makeup looks beautiful! In a very healthy / dewey way 👍
I totally agree with you about the ELF Halo glow. I have used the CT Flawless filter too, but I have to agree. I like the ELF product better. Of course the bonus is the price point. I use it everyday under my NARS foundation. ELF has a home run winner here. I really enjoy your videos and look forward to the next one.
BUTTER GLOSS! So happy to see that one! I bought a big pack of them, from Ulta, at Christmas, for the women's stocking stuffers. I came home with several for me. The browns all suck! The scariest one was Rocky Road, and it is my favorite. It looks like a deep browny-red, but it looks amazing on my lips. I'm also a pretty pale chick.
Thanks again for taking the time to explain and show us all the products very helpful. Would you please be able to do a video on eyeshadow placement as I have recently started putting makeup on after a long absence and I'm having a few issues, please please please help I also have hooded eyes 😢
I'm still here....drawing my pension now!😂😜 I am using the NYX snatch eyebrow pen, but I find it can leak. Am I doing something wrong? I like these videos. Can't get enough of ya Gem!❤
Gemma i never miss any of your videos you are so honest and truthful please can you please help me find a pink powder simmering eye shadow for my mature eyes i am a bit afraid of creams because i have never used them hopefully a inexpensive one waiting to hear from you love Maria from Cyprus 🎉❤xxxx
I am not a high end lip girl. I always prefer drugstore ones. My favourite is the Revlon Cushion kiss- sadly now discontinued 😢- though I got the last few off Amazon 😊. Have you tried Mina? Makeup from Superdrug. I bought a lovely bronzer the other day- it was £19 but I think it will last a full year , it's huge.
Of course we're still here, Gemma! And the fact you can laugh at yourself makes you all the more endearing. Thanks for all the drugstore recommendations!
I loved your video. As Americans we sometimes find the British accent to be a little too formal. And your silly side diffuses the formality and is refreshing. You are so good at what you do, it's lovely to see you being human. Makes everyone love you all the more. Great work as always!
Hi Gemma..some lovely products..would there be any chance you and your mother could do a morning and evening skin care comparing what you both use for the age difference..it would be much appreciated and help me alot xx
You could go on forever as far as I am concerned. Could listen all day!
Hi Gemma!!! What an Awesome video today! Absolutely love this format..the longer the better. I truly appreciate all your effort you put in making your recommendations and love your bubbly personality! Hope you get some much needed rest!❤
This is the best video in a while
A) we love honesty
B) you work hard
C) truth always truth .. that’s why we are here 🎉
Pretty much love anything Elf and NYX. The NYX brow pencil and Snatch are sheer perfection for my brows! Yes in Ash Brown and I have grey hair but looks so natural! Thanks for all your wearing and testing. Great choices.
Gem, the Altruist hand cream is fabulous too, especially overnight. Hands look amazing in the morning xx
I bought my first brow micropen from nyx because of you and it's my HG, i use ash brown and espresso, lift n snatch and thick it stick it brow gel, can't do my brows without 😅
Foundations from Loreal, tinted serum and infalible fresh wear, also the infalible bronzer... Catrice and wet n wild highlighters are so good and the new one from essence
Essence longwear eye liners ❤ and Revlon super lustrous shine lipsticks, a lot of really good makeup from drugstore lately ❤❤❤
This was amazing Gemma! Thank you!!
You have quickly become one of my fave RUclipsr beauty gurus. Solid, relatable and so funny!
Thank you!
Definitely a keeper! Loved every moment especially your humor and ability to laugh at yourself! Thank you for brightening my day🦋
Would love more drugstore videos cost of living crisis has us all tightening our belts do videos like this are really useful the comments section is always full of great recommendations too it's a great community on this channel 🥰
Loved the video! Love your sense of humour 😂😊❤
Gemma you could never disappoint. I'm always feel so cheery after watching your videos. Thank you for being human.❤
Also- As someone who also paints her nails every 3-4 days and ruined them for a wedding, the nail advice is MUCH appreciated!! 😘
I bought the elf blush after watching a past video of yours. Finally I have found a blush that blends so nicely on my skin. I love it
So many goodies to check out ! Of course made it to the end, no problem at all ! Thanks for taking the time to put all these gems together for us, and I have several of the NYX Butter Glosses. Love them all ! ☺️💜☺️

Thanks Gemma! Love your videos and you’re always so cheerful!!. Hope you enjoyed your much needed sleep x❤
Love your make up today Gemma! Thanks for the great video!
Love the drugstore videos Gem! I am definitely getting myself some of the L’oreal lip stain!!!!

Love the NYX Lift and Snatch brow pens! I have sparse spots in my brows from overplucking and age, and they sure do the trick. I have 3 shades.
Always such good & helpful information Gemma! U r quickly becoming my “ride or die” influencer!!!!!
Made it to the end! 💖 Thank you for all of the solid recommendations!! And YES, we need more of these kinds of videos!!

I use the NYX brow pencil in Ash Brown and the Revlon Ultra HD SNAP nail polish on your recommendations. I am now in the second week with that nail polish and it still looks great.
I use the Altruist sunscreen and it's the best I've ever used. No need to keep looking and trying any other sunscreen for me.😊
Great video. Got to the end. You are my makeup hero!
Xxx

Great video. Lots of tips and suggestions to try 😂

Best nail polishes are the chemical frees. Zoya is one I love and the other is Spiritual. Good for pregnant women
You are precious, we all make mistakes. I want to applaud you.
