8 HIDDEN BEAUTY GEMS YOU HAVEN'T TRIED BUT SHOULD : Current Obsessions

[@chrissyvermeire5361]

Thank you for continuing posting the best content even though you are a super successful CEO. The time you stepped away from KZbin was the worst and I love that you are back ❤️❤️❤️

[@Soccerroxz10]

Couldn’t agree more! Well said.

[@MarlenaStell]

Aw thank you SO much Chrissy! This is so sweet!

[@maureentakach3065]

Chrissy Vermeiere, I couldn't agree more. Hands down, Marlena has the BEST CONTENT on beauty & lifestyle on KZbin. I also agree that when Marlena stepped away from KZbin, it was the worst, but I'm so glad that she is back. She is beyond successful, and even if something doesn't happen exactly as she planned, she keeps right on going - she's an inspiration! What a talented woman.

[@jennaelliott9449]

You know what I love about Marlena? She is supporting another woman who owns what would be a competing company. She is bragging about an amazing product that isn’t hers and could directly compete with her. And she is doing so GENUINELY!

[@ginnybloomer5132]

My Sunday evening is complete! You look wonderful Marlena. I'm so happy to see you. The Clarins Serum is the best serum I've ever used. I've used it since it first came out and receive so many compliments on how healthy and glowing my skin is. It's an investment but one well worth it. I use a lot of Clarins products......

[@MarlenaStell]

I've been really loving it!! My mom, aunts, and friends have used Clarins and I recently got into the brand after having tried years ago and remember loving. This serum is seriously freaking amazing. I've been using it daily now and seen a huge difference in my skin! It's so hydrated and glowy now! I'm LOVING it more than any other brand I've tried.

[@lorencappelson6475]

The Clarins Double Serum is actually a bit of a cult classic favorite. The turmeric in it became a bit of a buzzy ingredient. I also love it so much, I just wish it were less fragranced (and obvs a little less spendy) - but totally agree its amazing!

[@MarlenaStell]

I've been really loving it! Every since I started using it, my skin has been so hydrated and glowing! I'm so excited :)

[@lorencappelson6475]

@@MarlenaStell yes! It's one of my favorite evening serums, I love it so much too! I totally agree re: the glow! My skin never looks glowier than after I use it. I am glad you're loving it

[@hborden115]

Caroline Hirons recommends, too.

[@LenaSheppard]

Oh the root booster sounds amazing. I definitely need something at my roots. Thank you for being here for us !

[@rachellovesslots8873]

The Double Serum is my favorite. I use it with Estée Lauder night advanced serum at night and my face has a so hydrated. It may seem too much but it works.

[@MillieonaVespa]

The Double Serum is a must have for me …. Gives me Nourished comforting glowing skin …

[@amydaniels6442]

I've been using the Clarins double serum for about 8-9 years after learning about it from Caroline Hirons. Since then it's been reformulated and what we get now is soooo much better! I'll never be without it!

[@omomo202]

Well that’s good! Usually reformulated products are terrible!

[@palomaaraos6898]

The clarins double serum is amazing, the tightening eyecream, the one in a red bottle is excellent also. And I looove the Oi oil and the shampoo from Davines, is super good

[@The2thfairy]

Davines!!!! Xoxoxox. The smell is amazing. The whole Oi line is great.

[@MsSavvy9]

So great to see someone support another growing color cosmetics brand. I love coloured raine cosmetics. I had purchased a few palettes and then saw an interview with the owner that nearly had me in happy tears. She is so genuine and passionate about makeup I was just like HERE TAKE MY MONEY. I was not disappointed in a single item! I wish more women were secure enough in what they do, to respect and support others without the drama and competitiveness. 🙌🏽 I try to live that life. You're a bad ass? No way! Me too! 🤗 let's learn from each other and grow together to be even MORE bad ass!

[@MarlenaStell]

YES love this! Loraine is truly a genuine person and she deserves so much love and support

[@MsSavvy9]

@@MarlenaStell Absolutely! I love how appreciative she is of each order... how is one so humble and so badass? 🤷🏽‍♀️ I dunno but keep it up! I work for a broker managing our client's e-commerce at a global retailer (where I also used to work) and saw how threatened grown adults are by the success of others. That attitude never served me and I don't surround myself with people that have it.

[@RazJaz88]

Thank you for sharing the hidden gems. I liked the idea of the twist, please do it on quarterly basis so we can discover new products. I like your videos as they very informative and helpful ❤️😍

[@Jodi3175]

Love Clarins- not many people talk about their products, but they are wonderful.

[@lyndseymoye12]

Thank you so much Marlena!!! So excited! Taking notes!

[@KingdomIsNow]

I used the Clarins Double Serum for many years. It is absolutely fabulous.

[@danielled5883]

I discovered Double Serum years ago. At first I was concerned about it having mineral oil. I found out that it is medical grade mineral oil. The kind that is used on burn patients in the hospital. It is really good for the skin.

[@AlexMor0406]

I just purchased the mascara along with $80 worth of other product. It's hard to find a lengthening mascara that isn't clumpy or waterproof! Can't wait to try it! Also, Sally's Generic brand is the bomb! I love their generic for It's a 10 and I really think it's better!

[@MarlenaStell]

Ooh I haven’t tried their version of It’s a 10! Didn’t know they had 😍

[@vi2623]

Thrivent has an amazing lengthening mascara. I always get compliments when I wear it … ❤️👍🏻

[@sharoncollins3216]

I purchased the Clarins Double Serum during an Ulta 21 days of beauty. I love it

[@devilisindadetails2491]

I've use the clarins double Serum for 2 years now. I live in a very cold climate where even if you double Moisturize, it is still not enough. Between using this Double Serum & their UV 50 emulsion tinted sunscreen, it got rid of my dry skin, eczema patches, even on my back. I luv the double Serum, & couldn't live without it in the winter time 😊🤟🏻 glad you put this in your favorites!

[@kristin65roses]

I just placed an order with Makeup Geek to get the new foiled shadows and I can't wait to get them!

Would you, please, consider giving some tips about makeup for those of us with scars from cystic acne in our 20s and 30s? I'm late 30s, and I never know if I'm doing myself a disservice by how I'm applying my makeup or what products I should or shouldn't use.

I love some of those GVP products at Sally’s! My favorite is the leave in with keratin- compare to its a 10! Leaves your hair so soft, you should try it!

[@denisesheffield481]

[@ninam8060]

Thank you for the video Marlena. May I make one request? When you talking about makeup products, for example the Senna eyebrow pencil, if you could let us know what color you wear. It would help us brunettes, like you, know which color to purchase. I looked at your arm color samples and I didn't know whether to go with Mink or Dark Taupe. Because sometimes the darkest one is a little too dark even though my brows and hair is black...thank you, Nina

When is both matrix pallets going to be available

[@motherof1132]

What do you think about Cereve and ordinary products?

[@chrissymoss514]

My big problem with both of the Clarins products you mention in the vid, is the added fragrance. I just don't want fragrance in my skincare, there's absolutely no need for it, it doesn't benefit the skin (in fact it could be detrimental) at all - so why put it in? Incidentally, if you leave your face wet and then apply the serum (or any skincare) the penetrative qualities are greatly increased. Personally, I would use an essence first, followed with my skincare. Much love to you and your family 💗💗💗

[@yvonnekilla3971]

It wasn't always so fragranced, they reformulated it years back I had to stop using it

[@deltawhiskey1998]

I try to avoid fragrance too but there is actually some situations where it has benefits. One being that the natural scent of a lot of products isn’t pleasant at all, even when there is a lot of other benefits ppl wouldn’t use it & second that it can actually help with efficacy & formulation etc. And then for some ppl it adds to the experience in a sensory way that they might not otherwise use a product & for ppl with resilient skin where reactions or irritation isn’t an issue the best product is a product you’ll use.

[@motherof1132]

Clarins is $200 In Canada. Turmeric is estrogen positive. After breast cancer and taking an estrogen blocker. I don’t know if I can use this
