I'm so glad you decided to keep Mel's channel up. Whenever I miss her I can jump on here and see her. Such a beautiful soul and a beautiful angel 💔 Love you Mel. You are such an inspiration to me 💘

[@kristiearriving1071]

Your passion and joy for makeup/skincare shine through in your content. No drama or cynicism, just pure delight! It is so appreciated, Mel. Especially this year. 💖

[@rachelharding3601]

You should do affordable faves. I spend money on skincare and foundation but as for makeup, I'm mostly colourpop LOL.

[@katia.7200]

Everyone’s needs someone in their life that looks at them like Mel is looking at her most loved palettes... 🥰 You are the sweetest, Mel, it’s so wholesome to watch this video as it is full of enthusiasm and happiness! And it comes at the perfect time to watch during dinner time (it’s 6:30 pm here in Germany) - no, we don’t need some time stamps, we want it all!

[@melthompson2856]

Lol!!! 😁🤣🥰😍😘

[@TheFinkkid9]

The Wayne Goss stuff is unreal! I've that you guys are besties :)

[@ellenebay3470]

After a lifetime of going for a natural look, using just a couple of brushes and my hands, during quarantine I've bought a ton of makeup and makeup tools. However, Tiny Marvels is my fav purchase of 2020!!! The colors are STUNNING...even this word doesn't do this palette justice. I have never worn colors like this even when I was younger, but they blend so incredibly. I love the new looks I've been able to create with them. Thank you for this collaboration. I hope you do more!

[@SuperNezzy]

I love how your makeup today totally complimented your tattoo! Beautiful :)

[@sarahkalnajs5810]

Mel, you’re so great at pairing colors (as shown here with the PM palette)....would you consider making a list or videos of 5 creative looks with individual palettes? Even if when you review a new palette, in the description box put a list of look ideas with “x” color on crease, “x” color outer lid etc etc ??

[@melthompson2856]

I like this idea, thank you ❤️❤️❤️

[@masonandres7679]

Sorry to be so off topic but does anyone know a trick to log back into an Instagram account? I stupidly lost the account password. I love any tips you can offer me.

@Joseph Walker I really appreciate your reply. I found the site through google and Im in the hacking process atm. Takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.

You are the only one to mention Sydney Grace Enduring Love in 2020 favorites - I totally agree so glad you did.

[@melthompson2856]

I love it so much 😍

[@debbieotoole1072]

Mel i absolutely loved this video, i watched it as i was doing my makeup, CT palettes o yes they have been amazing and ND love the glam and mini Zendo, CT bronzer absolutely love it and the Wayne Goss blush/highlighter duo in coral rose OMG best I've ever had it is stunning makes me feel so beautiful, i also love CT cheek to chic blush in ecstasy, brilliant video 🥰

[@danasmith51]

I watch another of your videos every day. You are SO inspiring to me and will always remain in my heart 💜

Mesmerized by your makeup today Mel! Going to add some of your favorites to my wish lists!

[@celiatambor7205]

Here it is, the most important video of the year! We all know it, my KZbin algorithm knows it too 😆

[@paofacu]

The Charlotte Tilbury bejeweled eyes to hypnotize is one on my wishlist 😍

[@jjsmakeupobsession323]

The viseart Violette, reminds me of the movie Jawbreaker. People have found that nars blush pallet at TJ Maxx.

[@zibbyzoo4379]

This was a wonderful video! I must say that I agree completely with Sydney Grace’s customer service. One of my shades from the Tiny Marvels palette came just a little bit broken in the corner and powder was all over the palette. They gave me the option to replace just the shade or the whole palette. It was a gift for my daughter for Christmas so I wanted a clean palette, but I thought they were exceptionally responsive and helpful!

[@dorindageorge7989]

I knew it would only be a matter of time before bigger influencers would catch on to you and Teresa! You guys are special honestly there is nobody here on KZbin like you two! I know I have to watch you guys when I know I have videos to watch LMAO, you both give the best advice and reviews AND I LEARN SOMETHING FROM YOU BOTH?!! THANK YOU FOR THAT!!!❤️💜🧡💖💝💘💞💕💓💗❣️💙💚💛🤍♥️

So many great products this year! You convinced me to try the Estee Lauder Hydra Rescue and it's my HG. It's my 2020 all-star. Thank you, Mel! 💗

[@annanewsom4253]

Love Wayne's new pallets. I am so looking forward to more eyeshadow pallets from him.

[@melthompson2856]

Me too. 🥰🥰🥰

[@charlimarievalosen5558]

CharlotteTilbury has become my Favorite brand in 2020 💕 My favorite eyeshadow palette this year has been the Pillow talk Instant Eye palette and surprisingly I fell in love with the Darling little palette so much! I have been saving up my money for the CT Bejeweled palette for my birthday in January!! It looks to die for! It's calling my name, Lol!! You look Beautiful ❤

[@thebeauteatalk]

Mel if u love balms then u should try the Chantecaille lip veils like the ones with the Elephant 🐘 packaging! It goes to help the 🐘 plus major color payoff, stays on pretty great but feels amazing on the lips! I'm obsessed and don't mind that they're expensive bc it helps amazing causes. Plus what they're made with and how they're sourced is pretty awesome.

I wish I could just add everything you mention to my collection because I’m so happy with the things I do own based on your reccomedations. So thankyou for all the help throughout the year.

[@callalily4052]

Your recommendation of the Becca undereye primer was one of my best of 2020. Sydney Grace, Wayne Goss, Sonia G., all had wonderful things this year. And now please let this year be over. You're right, Mel, we are all ready.

[@MsEvelin86]

Hey, Mel 💗 I would have LOVED to see your faves for 2021 video. May your beautiful soul shine brightly on to us from heaven. 😘

[@seharkhan6302]

When u start with bronzer I already knew it’s going be CT airbrush bronzer 😍

[@yensid4294]

It makes more sense to purchase high end mascara minis if they are offered. They are usually half the price of the full size which makes them close to drugstore, especially if you layer 2 different drugstore mascaras & mascara is supposed to be replaced 4X a year. I have found the larger tubes dry out quicker than the minis once opened. If you typically use 2 or more mascaras to get the results you want, go with the mini if you can.

[@KaraChapman]

Great choices!! I'm so excited for my Violette palette to arrive. It looks so beautiful.

Hey, Mel! I loved your video, especially your organization. It made sense & was easy to follow. After 2020, I need all the clarity I can get! I purchase 3 of the mac blushes & it was s NIGHTMARE! I am new so signing in a getting a discount code sounded easy & money saving. What I save in cost, I lost in brain cells! Everything went wrong & I had to call Customer Service for help. I got so tired of the push button options and then being on hold, then being transferred that ONLY the thought of how lovely the blush looked on you & your description kept me hangin’ on. Literally. Anyhoo, they are on their way and hopefully will arrive sometime this year and in one piece. I’ll let you know. Take care, my lovely one, and thank you for your excellent videos and the chance to see your glowing face. They were a bright spot for me this awful year! 💜👻
