Sheri! You look stunning as always 😍 I agree Medik8 Super C is amazing. Nothing has ever faded my hyperpigmentation and it seems like I’ve tried it all 😅 if I could only choose one brand for the rest of my life it would be Medik8 my skin has never looked so fabulous 🙌

[@GracefulBeautyWithSheri]

Medik8 defininetly has some of the most amazing products I've ever tried. 🤗

[@elizabethcook6120]

Buxom plump shot is also a great lip plumper product and , they have many shades also!❤

[@kmjdebay]

I agree and love the clear one! Way better than CityLips. No gloppy feel.

[@GracefulBeautyWithSheri]

Thanks so much for sharing!

[@reneeburich9497]

That Colorscience powder never works for me to get anything to come out. Sure, I could try and put it in a container and then keep a puff or brush with me, but that defeats the purpose.

[@Eye-i5q]

Sheri, how can we let you know our opinions on which lip gloss looks better, when everything looks beautiful on you. ❤ The Maybelline appears to be glossier with a pink hue....Where as the The Too Faced appears to be pigmented with a red hue. Both colors look great! It's always so nice to be complimented on your makeup by your husband. 🥰

[@GracefulBeautyWithSheri]

You're the best!💜

[@genietillery878]

Once again thank you for the dupes. Ciele makes such good products. I love cosmetics that do double duty and have an SPF in them.

[@GracefulBeautyWithSheri]

They have the BEST products and I just got their new bronze drops....OMGOODNESS probably my FAVORITE thing they've ever made. Hoping they make highlighters and lipgloss too!

[@genietillery878]

@@GracefulBeautyWithSheri I hope you show us what the bronze drops look like on? Did you get them for your face?

[@GracefulBeautyWithSheri]

I will def show them. Funny story, they ended up contacting me after I already bought them. I assume they saw me post their other products on Instagram.So they also sent me some of their new bronzing drops for free. If you want them I'll set them to the side and mail them to ya when I get a chance. 💗

[@genietillery878]

@@GracefulBeautyWithSheri Oh WOW, thank you so much. You are so kind to me Sheri. You are one in a million. There are many people on youtube and some never even write back to people or comment on things people post. You make the effort to comment to all the people on your videos. It's really nice that you take your time to do this. I would love to try the bronze drops.

[@markdcmountp]

Some really fantastic recommendations 👍🏼🙏

[@audracapriola9243]

so true about the DHC cleansing oil! I try every other brand I run into but nothing has compared to The DHC ability to dissolve all makeup traces! thank you:))

[@GracefulBeautyWithSheri]

I agree, I try nearly every single cleansing oil and I do "like" some others BUT NOTHING COMPARES TO DHC. It's the absolute BEST ever!

[@kellydunworth3689]

hahaha... i was just typing out a long message about the Ciele line... and then I heard you start to speak of them... aren't their products amazing!!!? Loving their tinted serum foundation and their liquid blushes... they have such a great deal where you can buy a full bundle of products for such a great price... AMAZING

[@GracefulBeautyWithSheri]

Lol they have the best products. 🌸

[@BIRDY_GIRL49]

GREAT video!! Lots of fun! Would love to see you do more like these.

[@christinemack2153]

These are so helpful. I have the Colorscience powder and it's so frustrating to use when nothing comes out.

[@GracefulBeautyWithSheri]

I agree. For Colorescience, put the lid on and tap hard upside down on a counter or hard surface. But take the lid off only when you turn it upright 1st because a LOT of powder will come out when you do that. I made a mess thinking hardly any would go in the brush and it spilled all over my clothes LOL. Tried that though with my fair shade of DRMTLGY and that still didn't work. Only works on the medium shade I bought.

Yay, another video!!! Omg your hair looks so long and beautiful! I've started to develop these black dots on the upper cheeks. Do you recommend anything for it? The texture on my skin has changed so drastically. I need help. I can't afford a dermatologist. I know you try a lot of products. Maybe u can help me❤ .

[@GracefulBeautyWithSheri]

What kind of black dots? Like dark freckles or like blackheads in the pore? I would still try to see a Derm if you can though. Lots of them do online telemedicine appts. And usually you just pay your co-pay. I think I even saw that Amazon now how telemedicine and a pharmacy pharmacy.amazon.com 🤗

[@mom4life513]

@@GracefulBeautyWithSheri oh ok I will look into it. I wouldn't say black heads more like black dots literally

[@feliciabethea2211]

I agree 💯 with the DHC cleansing oil. It works better than any other hands down. I don't agree with the vitamin C though. A cheaper alternative to the medik8 is the Timeless Vitamin C, and it runs around $26 on their website, and can often be found even cheaper other places. I also like the Prequel Lucent C Vitamin C, and it runs about $23 on their website, which is the only place they currently sell, I think. Just some other options. I need to try those lip plumpers though. I also love, love, love the Avene sunscreen compact!!! It works beautifully, except too pasty to use it. I keep it in my purse though, for emergencies. 💜

[@GracefulBeautyWithSheri]

Boy I wish I could use Timeless. It actually broke me out which is such a bummer. 😢 But I know a lot of people like it. They are 2 different forms of Vitamin C though. I definitely want to try the Prequel Vit C. I love their moisturizer and face cleanser.

[@feliciabethea2211]

@@GracefulBeautyWithSheri yes!! I was suprised at how much I liked the Prequel cleanser! I got a sample from somewhere??? I'm going to get the full size when I'm finished with the one I'm currently using.

I’m agreeing with you the Dermatology sunscreen powder I had the same problem and I can’t make the powder come out and I ordered 2 very disappointing thank you for recommending Ciele powder

[@GracefulBeautyWithSheri]

I hope they change the packaging. It's a great product inside and much better price than Colorescience but super annoying

[@markdcmountp]

I was hoping for a better and cheaper dupe for the Medik8😂 I like a lot of their products..but I don’t love the price ☹️

[@mariavotto6069]

Hi Shari - how would you compare the Vitamin C to the TT C Balm (I’ve been using that for several years now and truly love it…but…it’s pricey). Love your dupe videos - I’m using and enjoying so many of the products you’ve recommended! Xoxo

[@GracefulBeautyWithSheri]

Both are great BUT I love this better. If I can find more affordable products that work just as good or better, I'm all in. I do see more brightening and fading of my hyperpigmentation with Medik8 Super C. Also they are 2 totally different forms of Vit C. But THD in TT is a fabulous form of Vit C especially for more sensitive skin.🤗

[@anitamiko9975]

I also hate the peach and Lilly oil cleanser. I could t wait for my free trial size one to run out 😆

[@GracefulBeautyWithSheri]

I have tried it a few more times since filming this even with minimal makeup on, it is AWFUL for me. And I like some other P & L products. But this is a major FAIL for me. 👎

[@anitamiko9975]

@@GracefulBeautyWithSheri agree. Their products are generally good. Not sure how this one can miss the mark so bad. I just ordered their peptide serum. It’s loaded with all of the peptides I want. And Ulta has a thing right now where you get their rice enzyme polish free with Peach & Lily purchase, so I’m eager to try that too.

[@lorihannah5499]

Hey Sheri! What shade do you use in the Avene Tinted Sunscreen? My skin is darker ( med- med tan) and there’s only 2 shades. I love the Grande Lips plumper and Lawless Forget the Filler- no burn!

Is the Ciel powder you are applying on camera in medium shade 2? I wonder if the powder is translucent or if it is too dark for under the eyes? Is the light shade good for a medium skin tone?

[@GracefulBeautyWithSheri]

I bought light and medium and actually mixed them. I haven't really tried them under my eyes to set my concealer. I don't usually set my undereyes BUT if I do, I like W3LL People BioBrightening translucent powder howl.me/cmE9gfqIp8o BEST translucent setting powder ever IMO! 🤗

[@lisettecampbell2138]

Thank you for the vitamin C recommendation. Your thoughts of the medik8 vitamin c compared to the neostrata please?

Love both of them. But I do see even more brightening with Medik8.

[@lisettecampbell2138]

Great! Thank you so much. So appreciate you and your content. Blessings in Christ!

Love your channel and TOTALLY agree about the stupid names they put on makeup these days. It’s like you have to keep your kids from reading the names.

[@GracefulBeautyWithSheri]

So true! I think it's tacky and makes a brand look "cheap" and classless too. They are definitely trying too hard.

[@kimberlymej8584]

have you tried the ANUA Heartleaf Cleansing Oil??? If so, how does it compare to the DHC one? I am in between ordering those 2

[@Queenmarie88]

I have heard lots of people like the Laroche Posey foaming oil cleanser

[@GracefulBeautyWithSheri]

Haven't tried it yet but I bought it. I bought a bunch so working my way through them 💜

[@GracefulBeautyWithSheri]

I didn't like that one. Nice for daytime but a bit too gentle for me when it comes to removing makeup well. I shouldn't say I didn't like it, since I did like it for a.m. for a gentle cleanse BUT I much prefer the Cerave Foaming Oil Cleanse and I can use that 2x as my double cleanse. 🤗

[@skinpage8316]

So is the neostratia vit c not ur fav anymore? Is it not better than this?

[@GracefulBeautyWithSheri]

It's still a fave for sure and works very well but I do see a bit more brightening with Medik8 Super C. But you can't go wrong with either one.

I wasn't a fan of the PL oil. I use it when I shave to use it up.

[@GracefulBeautyWithSheri]

Oh that's such a great idea to use for shaving to use it up. I tried it again after filming this and had to use it 3 TIMES just to break up my makeup! Ugh probably the WORST I've ever used. 👎

While a sunscreen blush is a great idea, I don't see how you could apply enough of that blush to make a difference in sunscreen coverage without looking like clown. The product just doesn't seem to make sense when it comes to being a functional sunscreen.

[@GracefulBeautyWithSheri]

It's not my only source of SPF. I pile on my liquid SPF and using makeup with SPF is an added bonus. Also this shade is the most pigmented BUT they have other shades that aren't as intense and I'm able to apply quite a bit. BUT I would NEVER rely on any makeup with SPF as my actual source of protection. It's just an added bonus. 💕
