Looking so beautiful Melissa and love the stylish red blouse Thank u for another great doops video

[@marnidillon8659]

Another alternative to the Dermalogica is the Tony Moly Rice Cleanser. So good and very gentle. I use it most days as my morning cleanser.

[@ginadavidson9536]

Hi melissa I have discovered the L'Oréal elvive dream lengths heat slayer and I would say it is a good alternative to color wow dream coat for a lot less. Thank you for these video's they are so nice for those of us that can't afford or don't want the high end products.❤

[@MrsMelissaM]

I'm so glad you found a good alternative! And thanks so much for sharing with us 😊

Hi Melissa, I bought the pineapple exfoliator by Molecules that you recommended in another video, and I absolutely ❤ it. I use it every morning, and my skin looks amazing. Like always, thank you!

So happy to see you post a new video! Love the products. I suffer from frizzy hair. Nothing works so far

[@sterlingsunshine]

Have you tried the L’Oréal el vive hylarun? It’s their moisturizing line. I have wavy/curly hair and it has made a big difference for my hair.

[@tamarapace3036]

[@dawnl.7945]

You look beautiful Melissa. Your lashes are stunning as well. I too use the Loreal purple shampoos and conditioners and love them. Additionally every other shampoo I use their hair gloss. Its often on sale on Amazon and is around $12. It makes my hair super soft and hydrated. They have a gloss for every hair color and for blondes or grey heads the glosses are deep purple 💜 antibrass too!! A little goes a long way!

[@Kimberly-hk6kp]

Great recommendations. Thank you for all your effort ❤

[@stuartpierce121]

Thanks for watching Angie.

[@MsGroovearmada]

Thank you so much for these videos. I’ve purchased what alternatives you’ve said a couple of times when they are available in the UK, and they have worked brilliantly, I’m now trying the CORSX alternative from this video. Appreciate all your efforts Melissa.

[@vmmurphy3918]

I wanted to love that Redken shampoo and conditioner but it made my hair look and feel like straw. I didn't try the leave in spray. My hair is bleached. I have an entire collection of shampoos that caused so much dryness. I'm having luck with the Amika moisture line in the blue bottles.

[@jeanjacobs9965]

Greetings Melissa! I love these comparison videos! Thank you so much. Love and blessings ♥️🙏 l

[@melissasterling5772]

Melissa, I was wondering if you have ever used IlMakiage foundation? I love your channel and learn from your knowledge every video.

[@MrsMelissaM]

Hi Melissa. You're the 2nd person to ask me. Guess I better give it a try.

[@melissasterling5772]

@MrsMelissaM thank you. That would be a major splurge for me, and I have not seen any reviews.

[@Alice-fr1ef]

I first used the snail mucin after seeing it in your video. I have both of #3. Thank you, Melissa. I love Alta Ego palettes, which are high-end at a price one can afford. I hope you are having a great day Melissa and thank you for a wonderful video. We love you too.❤💗💜💜💜🙏🌹🌺🌸💐

[@Just-Melanie]

Happy New Year, Mrs. M! Your eyes look amazing - you have a twinkle in your eyes! I hope you have a wonderful, healthy & prosperous year - you deserve it! xoxo 🙏🏻❣️🙏🏻

Aww, thank you! I hope you have a wonderful year as well!

[@pyotrrossetti]

Covergirl has a contouring stick in a pale shade too which is very natural and greyish. And is cheaper than Westman Atelier's of course.

[@MrsMelissaM]

Oh great to know. Thank you 😊

[@spalover3]

Your skin is stunning!

[@MrsMelissaM]

[@KimberlyP352]

Hi Melissa. You look exceptionally pretty today. Your hair and makeup is beautiful today🫶. I don’t typically comment, but watch often and have very much enjoyed your channel. Thank you for all you do. This was another terrific video❤.

Just fyi, the color wow works beautifully on curly hair. I use it if I want to wear it curly and diffuse, or I blow out my hair straight. Great stuff. I will have to try this other stuff.

[@stephaniefinley7833]

Question Do you have a recommendation for a skin care serum that doesn't use animal products. I love everything you said about the alternative toner so hoping to find something like that

[@MrsMelissaM]

Yep, I know that good Molecules Niacinamide Toner is vegan No animal products

[@ellanderson5171]

Indeed laboratories Exfoliator 11 is an excellent alternative to your #4 in Canada. It's available in Shoppers Drugmart. I don't think good molecules are available in Canada.

[@momma5095]

When I saw how you spelled doops, I laughed out loud. 😅Always love your doop videos ❤

Happy New Year 🥳 Melissa, great doooops video as always but unfortunately some of the products don’t ship to Australia and the highlighter doop for the Saie highlighter is actually $30 AUD on Amazon compared to $6 USD just for reference Lol 😂, everything is much more expensive here or they don’t ship internationally 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️, I didn’t look, but the powder puff you were using, where did you purchase that from if you don’t mind linking it if you haven’t already, I’ve been looking for one that size for foundation application, I’ve found that using something like that applies my foundation lovely, it’s almost like the Tati Blendiful from way back which I still have and use, it’s held up well over the years of washing it in my washing machine Lol 😂. Thank you for sharing all these alternatives, very much appreciated and You Always Look So Lovely 🥰. Have a Great Day. 🩷🩷🫶🏻🫶🏻

[@MrsMelissaM]

Hi Nellie. Those prices are crazy! And unfortunately the puff isn't available anymore. I keep hoping to find them again, but i never see them, darn it!

[@rachelschmidt1697]

I have the alternative of #3 snail and bee venom, and after I cleanse, I put it on my skin, feel tight, and dry. Is it supposed to feel like that?

[@MrsMelissaM]

No it's not. It's supposed to be really hydrating. Check your page that you bought it from, if at the top you can go to the Benton store & find it, then you've got the right one. I've been noticing there's been a few knock offs.

[@Kathy-e6y]

[@kellywolfe5930]

I'm very picky when it comes to dupes they literally have to be very similar or identical... I love your videos I always have but I have to disagree with you on two that I've had personal experiences with... This is just in my opinion... I'm on my third big bottles of the Redken volume injection shampoo and conditioner in the light pink bottle me and my kids use it it's good for fine and oily hair I've noticed a big difference since I switched from drugstore products to professional but you're right it is a pretty price tag I try to get them when they are on sale... I love the Dermalogica daily microfoliant I've used it for years now I have tried the good molecules once but maybe mine was old or something because I don't think there are any thing a like in comparison that's just in my opinion the way they feel the way they come together and separate even in your hands and especially when you go to exfoliate no no no I don't think they are a like at all.... 💙💛❤💚💜

[@deann3621]

Totally off topic, but i am wondering if you can share what you are using on your neck? I have lost about 35 pounds and have a gobbler !! You lost so much weight and yet have a lovely looking neck! Please share if you dont mind. Thanks!

[@MrsMelissaM]

Hi Deann. Congrats on your awesome weightloss! I bet you're so excited 😊. For the past 9 years I've just been super faithful with putting as much on my neck as I do on my face & the products are the same for both. So if I'm putting one pump of retinaldehyde on my face face, I use a whole other pump on my neck & chest. I also use red light therapy masks on my face & neck. It's an investment at first but for me so worth it.

[@deann3621]

@MrsMelissaM thank you so much! I am now consistently doing my retinaldehyde/tret on my neck. Been about 1.5 months now, so not long enough. I always do my same skin care on neck and chest. I am getting a smaller red light therapy tomorrow! Can't wait for that! Hopefully I will see a diff in a few months.

[@daymonwilson]

Snail mucin is horrible!!!!

[@mouse2390]

I would love for the whole ''dupe'' thing to just go away. There are sooo many people who don't even know about let alone care about ''high-end''. We're working stiffs who just pick from whatever wherever we happen to be shopping for other stuff has. I never bought Elf as some consolation-prize substitute for what I 'really wanted' but because the quality, convenience and price worked with my lifestyle and overall attitude about makeup in general. I got into youtube beauty during lockdown and because I've gotten older and my old stand-bys weren't working for me anymore. I can afford more 'prestige' things but I'm in real life here, not Real Housewives Fantasy Land and making everyday people feel like they're 'settling' for inferior products is just classist. Makeup is makeup so why insist on dividing them?
