Wayne Goss hands down makes the best makeup brushes I’ve ever used...🇦🇺💕💙 There is nothing wrong with being a Bouji makeup girl...

[@bonniepierce5164]

YES. Wayne Goss brushes are the very best and worth every penny. Don't buy a bunch of cheap brushes - save up and buy a Wayne Goss brush that will last a lifetime and make your makeup look a thousand times better. You can't get a better brush - anywhere.

Mel could you do a video explaining the differences between fragrances? ie colognes vs perfumes vs EDT. I would love to learn more. Like mini class on what you learned when you got certified please!

[@taylorgayhart9497]

Destiney LaCoursiere I just googled it, the terms reference the concentration of perfume oils in water/alcohol. Cologne has some of the lowest, and Perfume the highest. Mel I would love to know what other brands pull these tricks, to know what’s worth it and what’s not!!

@@taylorgayhart9497 yep that's why most womens perfume gives me migraines (just being around it) but mens cologne usually doesn't bother me at all (unless they have on too much, or it's a particular scent). I can only wear body sprays or certain roll-on oils. 🙀

[@brendaf1033]

My "worth it" list: LaMer Soft Fluid Foundation, Chanel Loose Powder, Guerlain L'or Primer, ANY Wayne Goss brush (I have all of them and 2 of some), Tom Ford bronzer brush, Sonia G "2" brushes and 90% of Charlotte Tilbury anything. My "not worth it" list: any Tom Ford Lipstick (I've had way too many go bad in a short amount of time), Natasha Denona is iffy for me because of the inconsistency, Louboutin anything though I haven't tried the brand because I'm not pay that $$$$ for a name. Great video!

[@monopolizeme]

Brenda Frederick ooh I like your choices! I’m torn between trying the cle de peau or the Chanel loose powders. Can’t decide. >_

Monopolizeme I haven't tried the cle de peau loose powder yet. If I ever use up the Chanel I'll give it a shot. So many things to try!

[@legubblet]

Brenda Frederick great recommendations!!!!

[@GretaBeth]

During her video I found myself saying 🙏please say Charlotte Tilbury, 🙏please say Charlotte Tilbury... I bought so much of her stuff! And I hate ND too. I returned those big palettes. They don’t stick to my eyes.

[@brendaf1033]

Greta M: i LOVE the Charlotte Tilbury brand. Her lipstick formula is the absolute best. I probably have 90% of the colors! There are a few things I don't use only becauset I don't wear that type of thing. I don't do liquid lips and too much sparkle doesn't do well on my eyes (mature, hooded).

You sold me on the Wayne Goss eye set. It has been sitting on my beautylish cart for awhile now.

[@loritesty6036]

I know what you're saying when you said the La prairie foundation makes you look better and it feels wonderful on your skin. No other foundation I have ever tried comes even close to it. Every time I wear this, my face looks better than it is! I am 57 and it transforms my face. My face looks smoother and so nice. At first I thought maybe I just wanted it to look better because I paid so much for it, but every time I wear it, I am amazed! I will buy this again for sure.

[@avocadoPNK]

Colognes are UNDER eau de toilette????!!! I didn't know that. I thought toilette WAS the bottom...I'm a little shocked. And I'd been thinking of buying Joe Malone since they did seem quite popular, nice clean packaging...thanks for the save lol. A high end product that's worth it for me: Tom Ford cream color for eyes in Spice - stays on for 12hrs without primer, no fading, no creasing, comes off without a fuss : )

[@taylorcook8377]

I love the fact that you talk about luxury products most channels don’t. Some of us work hard and like to treat ourselves.

[@mssid708]

Hi Mel! I totally agree that Tatcha Silk Canvas,Hourglass Veil Powder & Wayne Goss brushes are worth the money. I would repurchase all of theses. I haven't tried TF eyehadows.

[@kristinprewitt7297]

Same with Jo Malone. They just don't last! I also don't like the simplistic note/layering aspect. If I am dropping that kind of money on fragrance, I shouldn't have to buy a bunch to layer. I'd much rather buy Tom Ford fragrances!

[@BeachBumEvvie]

I love my Jo Malone. I have a hard time finding light scents that aren't floral or "girly". I have the smell of flowers and anything "sweet" Wood Sage and Sea Salt is my jam. I'm always on the lookout for something similar for a better price point.

Mel-don't apologize for being high end!! 99% of what I have is high end and I don't care what people say at all. I learned something new today about the cologne/toilette thing. Jo Malone fragrance "turns" on me and I have tried many of them. I love you Mel-you speak from your heart and that is a refreshing thing to me!!

[@brendaf1033]

I'm a jeans kind of gal but I am high end and high maintenance. I love luxury makeup and I have purse issues as in there is no such thing as too many purses or too much makeup. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. Mel, don't apologize! We all like what we like.

[@jholmie6016]

loved this!! i wonder if you'd ever consider doing a video on your favorite cruelty-free high end brands for us cruelty-free folks? since you try out a lot of high end stuff, i'd be so curious to hear your thoughts!

[@Mel-pb5xw]

As a fellow cruelty- free buyer I love the idea in theory, but very few of the mainstream luxury brands are cruelty free - even fewer for those who are vegan &/ or don’t purchase from brands w/ non- CF parent companies - so there wouldn’t be much to choose from. There are definitely additional options at the luxury price point in the “green beauty” realm, but those rarely get attention outside of the cruelty-free &/ or vegan &/ or green beauty community...

[@bardlover6]

What would that be? I can only think of Charlotte Tilbury and Hourglass that are luxury and cf

[@jholmie6016]

Sunfish OutOfWater there are TONS of cruelty-free & vegan luxury options!!!

[@MsFlamingFlamer]

Le Labo fragrances are the absolute best. Expensive absolutely, BUT they last. I was stuck in the airport for over 24 hours and it lasted. You can purchase samples on their site or watch videos. My fav is Santel 33but it is definitely an acquired scent.

[@mayabeading]

The Tatcha primer is wonderful! Also, the other day Gothmista had a MUA do her Fall make up and the artist mixed a tiny amount of the Tatcha Primer with the lipstick she was applying to Gothmista for a wonderful monochromatic look. You get the benefit of the staying power of the primer and the smooth look.

I think you are a master communicator because of the style of your delivery and lovely tone of voice. I look forward to watching you regularly and learning a lot from you. During the last part of this video, you mentioned your perfume training from Nordstrom. I have always wondered about the differences between types of fragrance, as well as advice on how to choose a fragrance. I don't believe I have ever seen a video on fragrance. You may have done one already, so I will start looking, but if not I'd love your recommendations.

[@happyb4340]

I like the Guerlain Meteorites base. I have oily skin. My forehead nose and cheeks are so oily that if I wait 30 minutes after my skincare to apply makeup I need to use blotting paper first. If I apply the meteorite base immediately after skincare it keeps my oils at bay for a while, not all day it is short term support. But it helps get me to the office and through morning meetings without needing to blot or touch up.

Okay, so I just went over this in the comment section, but if you want a shimmery palette, get the new Dior Holiday palette in Lucky Star. Oh.. my.. good.. GOD! I love it! I actually work for Dior, but have not bought ANY of their shadows because most of them weren't worth the price tag. This one? Most definitely will be purchasing. Moonlight is good too, but it didn't knock my socks off like Lucky Star did. It's unbelievable.

[@YuckyMama]

I also find it helpful when you mention your experience with working with products on other skin types or people with mature skin. Lots of “beauty gurus” don’t have actual MUA experience like you do. I think adding in more of that POV would be helpful-especially for those of us in the “mature skin” category who could use some extra advice...😏

Mel, thank you for always listing the makeup products on videos. I appreciate it!

[@raquel_cb_]

Viseart shimmer Eyeshadows are not good (for the price). I agree. They perform like cheap ones. I have one of the mini’s and never use it. I am astonished with the new launch of the Grand PRO 2, all shimmer. 🙄 I don’t think we see a lot of reviews of it....

[@KieraNGSU]

Hasn’t come out yet...

[@A---7]

They said its 6 new shimmer formulas.

[@LivingInChrysalis]

Are the mattes good? I've been eyeballing both of the cool mattes palettes HARD

[@loeschzone6876]

Living In Chrysalis the viseart 12 pan mattes are amazing... Seriously.. ❤️Mel loves those too.

[@LivingInChrysalis]

@@loeschzone6876 oh, good! Hoping to get them at the VIB sale next year!

[@espree5386]

I totally agree with you about the Jo Malone fragrances! The scent does not last and the price is exorbitant! I fee the same way about Elizabeth and James fragrances, too. Great video! Thank you!

[@noora853]

I was shook when you mentioned Jo Malone 😂 but I totally agree with you! My fave one is the Mimosa and cardamom but it only lasts about 7hrs on my body :/

[@Lainieb329]

Agree also, it doesn’t last that long on me! Too expensive to be so weak.,,,,,,

[@mrmoustache7396]

This video is only the second one I watched after ND safari palette review. But damn! I think I've fallen in love with you girl

[@figurista_blog]

Pat McGrath eyeshadows definitely worth each cent! 😂

[@aliciabrodie3494]

Yeah! I am always so happy when I buy recommendations from Mel! That La Prairie foundation is on my list!

[@veronicamontalvo6219]

Are all the tom ford quads worth it or is the cocoa mirage specifically great. I’ve been eyeing the honeymoon one

[@elainebines6803]

Yes - i'd be interested in that too - love the tom ford eyebrow pencil but I have to reapply throughout day 🙄

[@annmarieg.447]

I have honeymoon and bought it because the colors were SO BEAUTIFUL in the pallet, but unfortunately a dud for me though!!! But I'm a glitter girl, and love his quads with some sparkle!! I just can't seem to work his honeymoon one right!! Now, won't quote me, but if you look back I think Mel does have a honeymoon pallet showing video. (But like I said I could be wrong and it may have been Tati!) Look in the history in the videos!! Good Luck Girl!!!

[@tatchabeauty]

We are so honored to care for your skin! We love giving you that every day glow! 💜

[@User38474]

lol I love you Mel but when you said the words la prairie I said "bitch no!" aloud, lol. I am so paranoid about getting addicted to expensive products, Pat McGrath has most of my 401k, lol. Love the video and you. Also cute top!

[@melthompson2856]

Lmfao!!!!

[@Kininitos]

I literally LOL’ed 😂

[@patriciaferrara4176]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@nancymoon-rush2888]

I splurge on a few brands. Tatcha and Hourglass. I haven't found a dud in either of these brands and I do agree...Tatcha Silk Canvas primer is so good!

[@jillianness8629]

I need to get the skin caviar foundation now. So funny too bc I was looking at that guerlain primer like 2 days ago!I love the lor, I've gone through 2 of them. I don't like jo malone fragrances to be honest. Granted I haven't sniffed each and every scent but I just haven't found one I vibe with. Channel mademoiselle was my holy grail go to errrrday scent for like 10 years lol but I've actually found a new scent in this year from narsisco Rodriguez for her. the black bottle. I'm obsessed with it. Awesome video love! My hubby may not agree when I go buy a 200 hundred dollar foundation but he can just never mind. Lol 😁😁

[@auntkaz422]

Chanel hydra beauty lip balm. Totally worth it. The only thing that keeps my lips hydrated and smooth. Agree on the Tacha. People can't believe I'm 55 years old because my skin looks so nice (and I don't wear foundation, I just use the Tatcha as a moisturizer).

[@Kim-kl7fq]

Love the eyes today!

[@stacym735]

I do really like the Viseart Theory palette I own in Amethyst. And I *love* the two Petite Pro palettes of theirs that I have (the babies with 8 very small pans for $30). I think it bears mentioning though that I'm "Of a certain age," and can't get away with super-intense shimmers, foils, glitters, and sparkles on my lids anymore (Oh, but In my day...!). Someone who counts on those intense finishes, I can definitely see being disappointed in those palettes. But for me, the "just in between" shimmers are exactly right.

[@justblushapril3799]

this was great content! Have a great day! ☺️

[@traceymurphy4804]

So agree about Joe Malone. I like niche markets for scents because they usually last longer and reach farther

[@meganivanyos3232]

Loved this video. Part 2!!!!!

[@zoeh9683]

Mel your makeup looks are stunning. More makeup tutorials please xxxx
