Just gotta say…. As a silver haired, salt and peppery 68 year old gone gray at 58, I love your dark eyebrows with your gray. As a natural brunette, eyebrow color was a real conundrum for me when I went gray. I felt lighter shades washed me out. I needed the dark color. So I stuck with dark brown and very happy I did. I have a good arch. I just wish mine were as thick as yours. They’re GORGEOUS with your hair color. 👍
As a fellow artist.. just gotta day.. Love your candidness and raw beauty! We artists need to be REAL AND REALISTIC.. in this world as we age .. AGING… takes such a toll on our self esteem… you are lovely.. and you have taken some of the guess work out of all the options! SIMPLIFY IS MY MOTO❤️
I really like that Dior foundation idea. I like the fact that stippling it with the pad that comes with it doesn't disturb the color corrector where a brush might ..in fact, it blended quite nicely, lightweight and still looked 'matte and luminous' at the same time. Great look. I use rosewater as a setting spray.
Firstly, congratulations and kudos to you for performing your civic duty as a juror. You are well-entitled to your rest. Unfortunate that it was so upsetting, but bringing someone to justice is healing for all involved. Secondly, thank you for continuing with these very informative videos; learning so much from you as a mature woman who has been wearing make-up since becoming a teen! Happy International Women's Day to you! You are certainly lifting up all of your followers with many options to take care of themselves - far more than skin deep. Bravo!
I love that you do your eyes first before foundation. I've always done that and other people have always thought I was weird for it lol I'm so happy I'm not the only one . I really love this look. I have short, fine hair and am always looking for a way to add body to it. I'm going to give the Velcro rollers a try :)
Thrilled to have found you, a professional, who truly cares about all women and different costs, such a delightful, fresh approach! You are so lovely, even without makeup and your thick, gorgeous hair, you’re very fortunate in your genes😍. Your detailed explanations are wonderful, too. Thank you.💓 I’m out of the country right now with many nationalities of women, love being around women from other countries! I will be ordering your products as soon as I get home!
I went through a very difficult 6-8 weeks while my newborn was in the hospital & developed a similar sort of hive outbreak on the side of my chin & found a hat an essential oils blend product from ABEDA applied lightly AM & PM helped it calm down & finally go away within a week … it had been so sensative that just a breeze on my face was very painful … you might try it !!! I LOVE your tutorials for my now septuagenarian skin … thank you sooo MUCH ‼️
Hi Nikol. I love your channel!!! I have so many pages of notes. My dilemma is….. I’m 75, fixed income, so I can’t keep trying everything I want to. Could you please tell me, if I can only buy one moisturizer and foundation, what would be the best. I’ve been blessed with pretty good skin. But, now my age is beginning to show. I would really appreciate any suggestions. You are the best. Watching you lifts me up!!!!!
If you are in a limited budget as I am (mum of two toddlers) why don't you go for a tinted moisturiser which is both good for skin and will give coverage? Try Pur cosmetics
I am almost 60 and the best foundation I have ever used is the wet n wild tinted moisturizer. It’s about 6 dollars, looks very natural and long lasting.
@@Chris-tg3qy That's funny. I was using Tom Ford's Shade & Illuminate daily. Someone told me about Wet N Wild's, "Tinted Hydrater," for $6.96 at Walmart. I am in my 60s, and need good coverage. This product is EXCELLENT. Plus, the way it dries down, I do not need to use powder.
I love the color and shape of your nails. I too turned to caring more for my nails during the pandemic. Anna Renata is a technician on here at Salon Life. She has these videos that show how-tos and "watch me work" moments. She takes a gentle approach, too. I like how "skin-like" your makeup appears. It's perfect for mature skin.
I have been using Dior 020 for years. It is worth the price. I am 63 and people tell me I look like I am in my 40's. When you have older skin less is more and quality does matter.
You are a mythological animal, hun🦄✨: A youtuber who EXPLAINS and DEMONSTRATES what, why and how to do make up in real life. Simply *THANK YOU!* 🙌🏻 🧛🏻♀️🖤
I love your channel ❤ I am over watching makeup channels with 20-30yr olds wearing 10 tons of makeup🤦♀️I'm almost 47yrs old and I like the way u show us how to just enhance our beauty with makeup so I enjoy watching your ENTIRE videos 🥰❤
I’ve been using (and raving about) this product for years. It’s not actually a foundation though, it’s more of a tint. Roughly 80% of it is their serum from that line and it’s classed as a treatment. They also have a clear version with the same SPF. At the beginning of the pandemic I panicked cause I couldn’t find it and Dior said they were discontinuing it. I was so happy when they back tracked. I’ll never find anything as good as this again!
Great hair!! I am seeing many ladies letting their hair turn gray. Beautiful. Makes me realize how young people are when their hair starts turning. My mom had Cole black hair. She started to gray at 18. I'm 60, was a blond, now like a wet sand color with a bit of gray on right side. Do you think people that were blond gray slower?
I enjoy your videos and tutorials. Not dyed my hair since December 2019….my hair grows very slow…so I am almost transitioned….I wear a bob style and I did grow my bangs out…never been much interested in skin care and cosmetics….but you have inspired me to be a bit more caring about it…at age 67 …a new way of doing things.
Your skin if so incredibly beautiful and flawless!!!What is your routine, supplements/diet, injections?, favorite anti-wrinkle products, etc. ! I can’t get over how smooth, glowy and youthful and gorgeous!❤ Secrets please! You look like you’re in your mid 40’s! Absolutely stunning, beautiful and classic!🤩
I love this foundation I’m glad you reviewed it, because I thought there was something wrong with it that nobody had told me about… I suffer a LOT of pore congestion & thought my use might have been contaminated by my oily skin
@@francescalegrand4520 It is one of Nikol’s eye shadow palettes. A total surprise how much I love it. It is apparently one of her best sellers. If you get it, I hope you love it like I do.
Nikol you did exactly the right thing, you said to yourself wait ! I need to decompress! You are so funny you really crack me up, you are so natural . God bless
I love your channel. I have never been a big makeup person, but now that I am in my 50s started to experiment a little. I am also letting my hair grow. I have had a pixie with undercut for a long time and have decided to grow it out. It is definitely a long process. I started watching your videos a month ago and have learned so much. Oh and I just love your hair.
I'm 53, and just started wearing makeup, too. I'm having a ball experimenting and playing with it. It's all part of self care and loving myself. Loved your comment, and had to chime in. I'm loving videos like these for direction and connection ❤️
Still loving your intentional messages regarding age and make up. Just get in there and get messy and learn the make up looks that we like for ourselves. I often wondered why am I hesitant to explore! Thanks for the encouragement. See you soon.
Glad to hear I’m not the only one who wears her makeup on her clothes. I have a solution now, though. Since I inherited my grandmother’s dressing bureau and love to sit at it to make myself up just as she did (my granny was immaculate with her makeup) I keep a full length apron in one of the drawers. I pull it out and make sure it is covering as much as possible. When done I gently fold it up (so makeup doesn’t go on the clothes or floor) and place it back in the drawer. It gets washed every couple of weeks. Clothes saver!
I was on jury duty and two trials for 3 weeks. I was in the service industry and walked for a living, so sitting all day was TORTURE. I also had sciatica and it was the worst month of my life!
I love your channel. You have really turned around my preconceptions about going grey. I'm still working on growing out my hair and experimenting with makeup 😊
Having been in law enforcement, I understand . Im so happy to see you pushed through and are back. We missed you ❤I absolutely love your channel and your products!
Oh wow Nikol, loved the video. Loved the cushion foundation! Yes so casual. I want to try the blush palette as well! Thanks so much for another option of foundation.
Had same button issue (several times) - had button holes done at dry-cleaners. I have gotten antique buttons at antique store but also have found beautiful buttons at local fabric store.
Nikol Johnson. . . thank you for all of your videos. I only just recently saw a link to all of them on youtube and love listening to all your tips, etc. on makeup. I especially like that you are so extremely casual, honest, open, etc. etc. You are really fun to listen to. . . so thank you so much for all you do and all the tips, etc. By the way. . .the video you did with your mother was great . . both of you are so sweet and beautiful. I appreciate all . . . mainly learnng so much at my very young age of 80.
Thank you Nikol for another sweet and wonderful video and “look”. I can’t tell you enough how much I have loved every product I have purchased from your line of makeup! For those ladies who might be hesitant, don’t be! I just turned 68 this week and truly your products are timeless and ageless! And your customer care is superb as well! Quick question about the foundation in this look. How do you suggest cleaning the sponge, and do you clean it each time you use it? I have super sensitive skin and even still have acne (if you can imagine that at my age!), so I’m super careful to always use clean brushes and sponges. Would love your thoughts! Have a blessed week and praying for your much needed rest after your service on jury duty.
Hi thank you I am so happy you are enjoying my cosmetics. You know the sponge in the cushion foundation is an issue. I am not crazy about it because you can’t clean it properly. I tried cleaning mine and it did not feel like It was getting clean. This the only drawback I have right now with cushion foundation. I haven’t read that the sponges are anti microbial I am still doing research on the sponge and will report back if I have any exciting news. Since you have sensitive skin and adult acne I would not use this sponge as a precaution.
Hi Nikol! So sorry to hear about your 'dark space' 😟. We live in a emotional Rollercoaster 🎢.. Sometimes you need some time to breathe. Thank you for this video. You are a beautiful person. Brigitte 🌷
I used to use the Trumatch Lumi Cushion compact foundation just like this one, by L'oreal years ago. It has the exact same outcome & effect as the Dior, at a fraction of the cost of course. Just like the Dior, it adds a demi-matte, with a subtle luminosity look to the skin! There are actually other drugstore brands that carry the same exact concept in foundation like this one... but nowhere near what Dior charges. I actually found one at Dollar Tree (again years ago). These days, I'm using bareminerals; for ease of use and its incredibly natural effect it leaves on my skin. Quite frankly, since using bareminerals for a while now, I don't think I'll ever go back to liquid or even compact-powdered foundations - I'm so obsessed with it! 😁
Hi Augncy, could you please tell me (or better, paste a link, if you can) to the bareminerals foundation you're using? I've heard of bareminerals but never used any of their products and I'd like to ensure I'm looking at the right one. Thank you! :)
I have been using seint makeup for a little while, I do like natural things. Can you tell me. If you have any ideas I am light skin, I am up for any new stuff, tku
I found the Trumatch Lumi Cushion a few months ago on a site designed for discontinued products. I wear it over the CoverGirl with Olay. The Lumi looks so nice over it. I was so amazed to find discontinued favorites.
The Trumatch Lumi Cushion was pretty practical. It was fast & easy (non-liquidy) to use. More importantly, I really enjoyed its luminosity, soft-matte effect. However, I do remember going through a compact pretty quick, as it didn't have no where near what a typical bottle of liquid foundation carries. That for me, was the primary reason I stopped buying it, plus, as soon as I tried the Bareminerals and other powder foundations, I pretty much said goodbye to all liquid foundations - including these not-so-liquidy types. I have normal to oily skin. Not surprisingly, this review appears to describe the exact same effect as the Trumatch Lumi Cushion. The cost however, well, there's definitely a BIG difference ☺
I know these are old videos, but I'm a new subscriber and I'm binge-watching them - lol. Girl, my hair on its BEST day doesn't come anywhere near yours on its WORST day! One of my BFFs was born in Greece and came to Texas when she was 11 years old. She, too, has that gorgeous head of hair like you do. Your casual makeup is fabulous - just like you!🥰
Nikol you must get sick of reading my comment of you are my sister I never had. ❤❤ Love watching you. You encouraged me to go silver. I’m 55 and fully transitioned and love it !!!! Love these make up vids. Just a point of interest - have you tried the CoverGirl Smoothers pressed powder ? It is undoubtedly a dupe for something. Love it. Great for mature skin that gets a bit shiny still. It never fails me 🥰🥰 and I’m also a stocker for a green moisturizer or cover to hide a bit of pinkness. 😅 love you God Bless you and Jesus be with you always xo 💖✝️
That looks beautiful as always. Thought I’d share with you my epic fail with the Velcro rollers. I was getting ready for a party and did hair and makeup like the gorgeous Nikol. Don’t know what I did wrong but when the rollers came out I looked more like Cruella De Ville! Straighteners saved the day. Hadn’t laughed so much for ages ❤️❤️❤️ Much love x
Did you arch your eyebrows? i wondered how you feel about tatoo on eyebrows. i have a bad scar since im 10 .i fell off my bike and cut my eyebrow. Thank
Welcome back and happy Friday! You look beautiful as always! I'm so sorry that you had to deal with the jury duty. I truly hope you are feeling better. Much love and many prayers to you. 💕
❣️Love the idea of this…will not spend this amount for a foundation…too bad L’Oréal isn’t making their cushion anymore (removed from their site) 😵💫😝🥺 However, I dab serum foundation on (sheer coverage love) and use damp beauty blender for the same look…like beautiful skin without a mask of makeup ❤️❣️L’Oréal serum foundation and add a pump from Amazon because I hate a dropper for foundation…so messy.
Nikol, I love you and your products. I’m 69, retired but like to still look attractive but done efficiently. I’ve moved towards crayons on top of MAC soft ogre. I’m getting tons of compliments. Would you consider doing a crayon review. I’ve used Bobbie brown, Lancôme beauty pie
In a previous life I was a C Dior (also YSL) acct executive. Sure miss the gratis product and fragrances!! Both brands have very good treatment, skincare, and colors.
Nikol, hi lovely girl, I've just read a couple of rude comments : how rude, how dare they! Ihope you don't take any notice, judging by the way you come across I shouldn't thinkyou give a fìg. But I do, as my grannie used to say :"If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all", she was right. As I can't write rude things to them I'm shouting VERY rude things at them, pity they can't hear. Anyway thats only 2 people & the rest of us love you & your advice,vids etc. Thank you Nikol & hoping you've recovered from jury duty, your fan from England here wishes yòu happiness, rest, lifted spirits & good things. X
You are my new favorite beauty influencer here on RUclips and I love your aesthetic!! I recently in the last year and a half, let my hair's now Grey come out without dyeing at all but my reason is due to illness; however, I actually like it. Then I find you! I love your look, your style and approach to beauty and makeup. You are delightful to me and I just have to THANK YOU for the great work you're doing here! 🥂cheers!
I looked for your time stamps and see you are in Ft. Lauderdale. I love Ft. Lauderdale. We are from up north, but my parents and grandparents owned property there since the early 50's between Birch Park and the strip. I was so fun. Then they sold that (obviously a good move) but went over to Naples and got into the Port Royal area very early when no-one was there. Naples was nice but boring. I always missed the fun of Ft. Lauderdale. I could probably still drive around there without a map. My youngest aunt went to school up north half a year and to Pine Crest half the year. My grandparents lived in the Fountainhead in Lauderdale by the Sea. I wonder if it is still there. It was beautiful back then when I was a child.
I love your content on here- keep it up. I would however like to see you use a less wasteful product for wiping away make-up. I have a pack of organic muslin cloths and keep a damp one at hand, does the trick and can be used a few times, then goes in hot white wash.
Haha, I use those Velcro rollers. Those things are a great invention. I blow dry and then put them in when my hair is just slightly damp but mostly dry….leave them in for about a half hour. Nice volume and lift at the roots
Thank you for serving on jury duty 💕. My first time I was in my 20’s. The trial was rape, kidnapping, sodomy of couple women. The lawyers on the defendants side accepted me. Looking back I think they took me thinking I would be too naive and dumb to make a guilty vote. In fact, one senior lady could not believe and thought the 2 girls must have deserved it. Yeah, the Ho deal. Please do jury duty when asked ladies. And yeah that case was disturbing for me but I’m not leaving a victim wether it’s the one side or the other.
Beautiful, Nikol, as always! I appreciated seeing your products and totally agree how frustrating it can be to dig into a bag for getting one's necessary items. 🤔 Thinking how nice that trio with the illuminating powder would be!
What is the name of your m’ »mostly underrated foundation that you haven’t shown here. You said you were going to show it to us. Well I can’t find it at all! In this video. :)
Well you look marvelous! I especially like the foundation on your skin, it looks lovely, your skin looks fresh, no dry appearance at all! Love the makeup, will have to look into it all :). Thank you for a great video!

Thank you Nikol for another sweet and wonderful video and “look”. I can’t tell you enough how much I have loved every product I have purchased from your line of makeup! For those ladies who might be hesitant, don’t be! I just turned 68 this week and truly your products are timeless and ageless! And your customer care is superb as well! Quick question about the foundation in this look. How do you suggest cleaning the sponge, and do you clean it each time you use it? I have super sensitive skin and even still have acne (if you can imagine that at my age!), so I’m super careful to always use clean brushes and sponges. Would love your thoughts! Have a blessed week and praying for your much needed rest after your service on jury duty.
Hi thank you I am so happy you are enjoying my cosmetics. You know the sponge in the cushion foundation is an issue. I am not crazy about it because you can’t clean it properly. I tried cleaning mine and it did not feel like It was getting clean. This the only drawback I have right now with cushion foundation. I haven’t read that the sponges are anti microbial I am still doing research on the sponge and will report back if I have any exciting news. Since you have sensitive skin and adult acne I would not use this sponge as a precaution.
Hi Nikol! So sorry to hear about your 'dark space' 😟.
We live in a emotional Rollercoaster 🎢.. Sometimes you need some time to breathe.
Thank you for this video. You are a beautiful person.
Brigitte 🌷
Thank you Bridget 💗
Hi Brigitte, how’s your day going with you?
I have used AmorePacific cushion foundation for a few years and and I love it. Great for touch ups during the day- 50 spa too.
I used to use the Trumatch Lumi Cushion compact foundation just like this one, by L'oreal years ago. It has the exact same outcome & effect as the Dior, at a fraction of the cost of course. Just like the Dior, it adds a demi-matte, with a subtle luminosity look to the skin! There are actually other drugstore brands that carry the same exact concept in foundation like this one... but nowhere near what Dior charges. I actually found one at Dollar Tree (again years ago). These days, I'm using bareminerals; for ease of use and its incredibly natural effect it leaves on my skin. Quite frankly, since using bareminerals for a while now, I don't think I'll ever go back to liquid or even compact-powdered foundations - I'm so obsessed with it! 😁
Hi Augncy, could you please tell me (or better, paste a link, if you can) to the bareminerals foundation you're using? I've heard of bareminerals but never used any of their products and I'd like to ensure I'm looking at the right one. Thank you! :)
Yes would be nice to have a link!
I have been using seint makeup for a little while, I do like natural things. Can you tell me. If you have any ideas I am light skin, I am up for any new stuff, tku
I found the Trumatch Lumi Cushion a few months ago on a site designed for discontinued products. I wear it over the CoverGirl with Olay. The Lumi looks so nice over it. I was so amazed to find discontinued favorites.
The Trumatch Lumi Cushion was pretty practical. It was fast & easy (non-liquidy) to use. More importantly, I really enjoyed its luminosity, soft-matte effect. However, I do remember going through a compact pretty quick, as it didn't have no where near what a typical bottle of liquid foundation carries. That for me, was the primary reason I stopped buying it, plus, as soon as I tried the Bareminerals and other powder foundations, I pretty much said goodbye to all liquid foundations - including these not-so-liquidy types. I have normal to oily skin. Not surprisingly, this review appears to describe the exact same effect as the Trumatch Lumi Cushion. The cost however, well, there's definitely a BIG difference ☺
I never heard of this style of foundation. Very pretty and interesting.
Hi Ellen, how’s your day going with you?
I know these are old videos, but I'm a new subscriber and I'm binge-watching them - lol. Girl, my hair on its BEST day doesn't come anywhere near yours on its WORST day! One of my BFFs was born in Greece and came to Texas when she was 11 years old. She, too, has that gorgeous head of hair like you do. Your casual makeup is fabulous - just like you!🥰
Oh wow, that foundation looked fantastic on you. I love it! And the SPF factor upped its game. I will invest in one. Thank you 🙏
Bless your heart. Hope you’re feeling better today! 💜🥰
Nikol you must get sick of reading my comment of you are my sister I never had. ❤❤ Love watching you. You encouraged me to go silver. I’m 55 and fully transitioned and love it !!!! Love these make up vids. Just a point of interest - have you tried the CoverGirl Smoothers pressed powder ? It is undoubtedly a dupe for something. Love it. Great for mature skin that gets a bit shiny still. It never fails me 🥰🥰 and I’m also a stocker for a green moisturizer or cover to hide a bit of pinkness. 😅 love you God Bless you and Jesus be with you always xo 💖✝️
I just so luv you for this!!! I love the whole Velcro curlers vibe!!!!
That looks beautiful as always. Thought I’d share with you my epic fail with the Velcro rollers. I was getting ready for a party and did hair and makeup like the gorgeous Nikol. Don’t know what I did wrong but when the rollers came out I looked more like Cruella De Ville! Straighteners saved the day. Hadn’t laughed so much for ages ❤️❤️❤️
Much love x
Wait I don’t get it too much volume?
@@NikolJohnson haha. Yes. Much too much. Hilarious. I’ll keep trying. X
Try blowing your hair out first. Then put in the rollers and mist with a volume spray. Then blow again and let cool down. See if that helps.
I once arrived at work for an early shift, looked down and a velcro roller was stuck to my pant leg! The girls thought it was hilarious..☺
Thanks Nikol for sharing this quick make-up look. Love your channel ❤️
Did you arch your eyebrows? i wondered how you feel about tatoo on eyebrows. i have a bad scar since im 10 .i fell off my bike and cut my eyebrow. Thank
I love your eyelid primer. I'm 62 and it is fabulous. I never used one before I watched your videos.
Such great news Susi
Hi Susi, how’s your day going with you?
I just went natural with my nails. I think of what I’m saving in time snd money. I agree taking care of our nails is an accessory for sure🌷
I just purchased your eye brightener & I can’t rave enough about it! The consistency & coverage is fantastic. Get this, y’all! 👍🏻
Thanks for the info. I’m going to purchase it.
@@carmenrojas7732 it’s so great!
Is the eye brighter for dark circles as well?
Where did you find it? It shows out of stock on her site.
@@hensmom6473 I ordered it on Feb 22 & received it about 5 days later.
Shiseido has a great cushion makeup
Welcome back and happy Friday! You look beautiful as always! I'm so sorry that you had to deal with the jury duty. I truly hope you are feeling better. Much love and many prayers to you. 💕
Hi Lori, how’s your day going with you?
Appreciate the time stamps and the link to the items you use.😍 Luv your videos
Nikol, you are like the cool big sister I never had! I am so happy I found your channel.
Hi Meredith, how’s your day going with you?
Glad you feel better. I've been a walking ptsd episode. I understand being thrown off and not quite yourself. Keep the Faith🤗
I am so glad I found your channel! You look gorgeous, and thank you for the amazing tutorials!
You're a beautiful soul and I love your content 💕
regarding nails...yes good thinking..I use KUR...fabulous products
❣️Love the idea of this…will not spend this amount for a foundation…too bad L’Oréal isn’t making their cushion anymore (removed from their site) 😵💫😝🥺 However, I dab serum foundation on (sheer coverage love) and use damp beauty blender for the same look…like beautiful skin without a mask of makeup ❤️❣️L’Oréal serum foundation and add a pump from Amazon because I hate a dropper for foundation…so messy.
Thank you finally how to apply makeup! 73 and I am learning! 🙏🙏🙏🙏
how’s your day going with you?
Nikol, I love you and your products. I’m 69, retired but like to still look attractive but done efficiently. I’ve moved towards crayons on top of MAC soft ogre. I’m getting tons of compliments. Would you consider doing a crayon review. I’ve used Bobbie brown, Lancôme beauty pie
Hi Nancy, how’s your day going with you?
I hope the eyebrow show has tips for people who have thin to nothing brows. Great show.
Yes it will
That foundation looks amazing on your skin! I wonder how it would look on skin older than your. Has anyone (over 50) tried it?
Glad you're back! Love everything and the lipstick is calling me. See you Monday and have the best weekend!
Hi Christine, how’s your day going with you?
Your eyeshadow look today is amazing! I’m going to buy that palette!
Stunning
Your skin looks the best I’ve ever seen it w the Dior. Beautiful!
I thoroughly enjoyed your video. Bought a couple things to shoosh up my makeup routing.😊
In a previous life I was a C Dior (also YSL) acct executive. Sure miss the gratis product and fragrances!! Both brands have very good treatment, skincare, and colors.
I think that color of foundation is really good for you. I like darker better than lighter. Thanks for a very nice video.
Esse is the very best nail polish ever. You can paint over chips too.
Nikol, hi lovely girl, I've just read a couple of rude comments : how rude, how dare they! Ihope you don't take any notice, judging by the way you come across I shouldn't thinkyou give a fìg. But I do, as my grannie used to say :"If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all", she was right. As I can't write rude things to them I'm shouting VERY rude things at them, pity they can't hear. Anyway thats only 2 people & the rest of us love you & your advice,vids etc. Thank you Nikol & hoping you've recovered from jury duty, your fan from England here wishes yòu happiness, rest, lifted spirits & good things. X
You are my new favorite beauty influencer here on RUclips and I love your aesthetic!! I recently in the last year and a half, let my hair's now Grey come out without dyeing at all but my reason is due to illness; however, I actually like it. Then I find you! I love your look, your style and approach to beauty and makeup. You are delightful to me and I just have to THANK YOU for the great work you're doing here! 🥂cheers!
Hi Lisa, how’s your day going with you?
I looked for your time stamps and see you are in Ft. Lauderdale. I love Ft. Lauderdale. We are from up north, but my parents and grandparents owned property there since the early 50's between Birch Park and the strip. I was so fun. Then they sold that (obviously a good move) but went over to Naples and got into the Port Royal area very early when no-one was there. Naples was nice but boring. I always missed the fun of Ft. Lauderdale. I could probably still drive around there without a map. My youngest aunt went to school up north half a year and to Pine Crest half the year. My grandparents lived in the Fountainhead in Lauderdale by the Sea. I wonder if it is still there. It was beautiful back then when I was a child.
I love your content on here- keep it up. I would however like to see you use a less wasteful product for wiping away make-up. I have a pack of organic muslin cloths and keep a damp one at hand, does the trick and can be used a few times, then goes in hot white wash.
They are biodegradable 🤌🏻
Hi Ally, how’s your day going with you?
Haha, I use those Velcro rollers. Those things are a great invention. I blow dry and then put them in when my hair is just slightly damp but mostly dry….leave them in for about a half hour. Nice volume and lift at the roots
Thank you for serving on jury duty 💕. My first time I was in my 20’s. The trial was rape, kidnapping, sodomy of couple women. The lawyers on the defendants side accepted me. Looking back I think they took me thinking I would be too naive and dumb to make a guilty vote. In fact, one senior lady could not believe and thought the 2 girls must have deserved it. Yeah, the Ho deal. Please do jury duty when asked ladies. And yeah that case was disturbing for me but I’m not leaving a victim wether it’s the one side or the other.
Love love love this look. Thanks for the tips.
I LOVE the cheat sheet time frame, it’s truly awesome.
I love using your eye primer and enjoy doing my eyes first then everything else last
Hi castro, how’s your day going with you?
I love your floral wallpaper.
Hi Ann, how’s your day going with you?
Beautiful, Nikol, as always! I appreciated seeing your products and totally agree how frustrating it can be to dig into a bag for getting one's necessary items. 🤔 Thinking how nice that trio with the illuminating powder would be!
What is the name of your m’ »mostly underrated foundation that you haven’t shown here. You said you were going to show it to us. Well I can’t find it at all! In this video. :)
Love your make- up tutorial. You are the best Nikol.
Jury duty can be overwhelming, good that you took the time for you to recover.
Well you look marvelous! I especially like the foundation on your skin, it looks lovely, your skin looks fresh, no dry appearance at all! Love the makeup, will have to look into it all :). Thank you for a great video!
So nice to meet you briefly at Dillard back door!
Ahhhh so happy to see you here in the comments! Such a pleasure running into you on my way out!!!! 😘😘
