BEST MAKEUP RELEASES OF 2023 - DRUGSTORE TO HIGH END! *MATURE SKIN TESTED*

[@jessicasopolis3904]

I love the ELF contour in the lightest, coolest shade and the highlight too! The contour is super natural! If you like natural highlights, Laura Geller French Vanilla highlight is one of my faves! It imparts an almost satiny, undetectable yet airbrushed, lit from within highlight with a slight amount of coverage! It comes in handy n I use it in many ways! I highly recommend it! Love at you, darling! I hope your day is as stunning as you are.

Oooh yay, another great recommendation to add to my list - keep them coming my lovely! 😍 Ah thanks Jessica, right back at you! 🥰💕

Hello Carmel Nicole, George here. I wonder if you ever considered working in advertising. I find the way that you express your words as you say them so very convincing and a true joy to behold. Your pace of speaking is such a comfortable pace to listen to and the inflection you impart is instantly convincing. Anything you described as worthy of purchase would sell. No kidding. Politely smiling, George.

Ah George, thank you for taking the time to write such a lovely comment, it means the world! ☺️ (I think I just ramble when I’m passionate about something 😂) Wishing you a very happy new year! 🥰💜

Hi Carmel!! Happy New Year to you too! ✨🎇🎆🥳 The YSL quad really accentuated and emphasised your eyes, stunning! Am definitely a lipstick girl so will check out the Elf lipsticks, thanks! Xx

[@CarmelNicoleBeauty]

Hey Jillian! Thank you so much 🥰 Wishing you the most wonderful new year - and I’m so grateful for your continued support 💗 Let me know if you try the Elf lippies, they’re my fave! 💗 xx

[@CarmelNicoleBeauty]

They are SO pretty, Chloe! 😍❤️

Beautiful as always 😊 Loved hearing your favorites for 2023. I also am a big fan of the Rare Beauty Lip Oil. Makes my lips feel hydrated & I too have not had any issues with removal. I find it wears away gradually. Definitely curious now to try the liquid blushes by Rare Beauty. Happy New Year🎆

[@CarmelNicoleBeauty]

Ah thank you so much Stacy! 🥰 The blushes are fab…do let me know if you get around to trying them! Happy new year lovely 🩷☺️ xx

A great round-up of your best products of 2023. I too really loved the Haus Labs concealer- so good! After watching your video I would like to try the Nars liquid blush - it really lifted your look instantly 😍 I have wanted to try the YSL Stora Dolls quad, but it’s a lot of money so I have hesitated - after seeing it on you though - Wow! And hearing your description of the formula- you have convinced me to get it 😉😊

[@CarmelNicoleBeauty]

Oh the Stora Dolls 😍 I’ve never experienced such silky & beautiful eyeshadows, they’re exquisite! It’s good to treat yourself every now & again 😉 The Haus Labs is such a good concealer, really underrated in my opinion. Thank you so much for watching (your name doesn’t display so please don’t think I’m being rude for not addressing you by name 🥰💖)

[@nadahardi3635]

Hi carmel you look stunning as always😊 thank you for sharing with us, i actually picked up some of the elf products today to try and bought the nars reflecting foundation to try as well. My fovourite mascara has been always the maybelline collossol i find them amazing. At the moment im using kevin auccoin foundation and charlotte tilbury beautiful skin foundations which i love both. Wishing you A very Happy and a safe New year to you and family . Much love😊🎉😊

[@CarmelNicoleBeauty]

Thank you so much for your lovely comment, Nada! 🥰 I haven’t tried anything by Kevin Auccoin, I definitely need to try! Oh please do let me know how you get on with the Elf products won’t you? Wishing you the most wonderful New Year - all the best to you & your family! ❤️☺️ xx

[@AngelissimaASMR]

I really wanted to try the Glossier foundation but it has ingredients that typically break me out pretty badly! I dont think I'll be risking it. It looks absolutely AMAZING on you though! I think you saying you're frugal made me love you even more lol I can appreciate that!

[@AngelissimaASMR]

and Happy New Year! ✨🥂🍾

[@CarmelNicoleBeauty]

Thank you so much! 🥰 Oh no, so sorry to hear that about the ingredients - definitely give that one a miss, totally not worth it! Haha, frugal - now that’s a much nicer way of putting it 😂 A very happy new year to you too, lovely! 🩷🥰
