I think your skin in this video is the prettiest skin I've ever seen. It looks like the perfect balance of matte but pearly. XO

[@MsSamchester]

I bought the Paul's choice BHA (extra strength one) on your recommendation and it has literally changed my life! I struggled with all sorts of skin issues and this stuff is amazing - how it can be so good at decongesting, preventing and soothing is just bloody magic (or maybe that thing called science...!) x

[@MissEMc2]

Your Makeup favs along with any videos of you & Lisa are definitely necessary!!!! ❤️🧡❤️ Thanks!!

[@TheHagi1969]

Welcome back! I’d love to see a make up favourites video.

[@jn6119]

Happy New Year Ruth- looking ‘gorg’ as usual 👍. Could you do a children’s products favourites?? You mentioned oilatum and duprabase but suncreams, shampoos etc Just a thought, 🙋🏼‍♀️

[@RuthCrilly]

Good idea!

[@keepfitgirl8191]

Yes please to makeup favourites. Happy New Year! Emma x

[@lizavoris1788]

The Mae Lindstrom came in Caroline’s cult beauty box. I could not get past the smell! Ended up giving it away

[@mummycool1]

Yes plz to the make up! Happy New year Ruth xx

[@1104naomi]

Would you use the hado labo in place of usual retinol or in addition to it? Xxx

[@strawberrycupcake4471]

Wow, you llike Lara Stone a lot with your hair that length, just gorgeous. x

[@RuthCrilly]

Oh thanks!! I was going to get it all chopped off but I may keep it...

[@Kellybird12]

Always fun to see you! All favorites are welcome.💗

[@skyefarhoudi1641]

I love your videos. I cannot say that enough, I love your videos.

[@hollygolightly6770]

Yes please for a makeup favourites video❣️💄

[@nancyfielden270]

Happy new year Ruth!

[@TheKateham]

Yes please Ruth! Love this one so informative :)

[@eyepod5305]

Your skin is gorgeous!!

[@RuthCrilly]

Thanks!

[@AbigailMaes]

Love your make up! Especially the eyeshadow. Is it one of the CT eyes to mesmerize ones?

[@marcela3286]

Yes to the Makeup 💄 Favorites!

[@thebookinmyhands]

Aww I missed your videos! I was wondering if you would do best of kids skincare. My girls have horrible eczema and I am always on the hunt for good stuff.

[@janicecenci4223]

Love these videos.... only thing is, I then want to buy everything! However, I’ve tried the Inkey List collagen booster over hylaluronic acid and found it tightened my skin so much that I could barely move any facial muscles😂 Also tried the Hado Labo hyaluronic acid and found that too watery. Have tried many and the best I’ve found are the L’Oréal ampoules with b5. 😘

[@lasiddina1126]

Hi! Happy to see you back 😊. I'd just need a suggestion.. I am breastfeeding and my skin is dull and wrinkles are there and I look not good lol 😂.. Do you think I could use the HADA LABO lotion you have mentioned? I don't want to spend a fortune but I have read really good reviews about it. I just want to make sure it is safe during breastfeeding and you have quite of experience! Thanks

[@beccajohns]

If you’re looking for a multi-use balm that doesnt cost £159, Bee Good’s Nectaperfecta is awesome, made from natural ingrediants & supports bees!

[@elizabethannferrario423]

I swear by had a laba I use this lotion every night and it’s still going strong six months later it’s fabulous! Yes cheap but very potent I use the ordinary I have several bottles of serums again use them every night great !

[@silviacouto]

Hi Ruth, first of all love your videos, I think you're absolutely hilarious, thanks for making me laugh. Second, I also love the squalene cleanser from TO but I don't think it removes mascara and eyeliner that well, any tips? I always have to use something else to clean my eyes afterwards

[@lizmacleod4334]

Oh my god dry shins, me too, but I found a cure! Nip Fab Glycolic scrub in the shower followed by Diprobase daily moisturising cream. Only need to do it twice a week and no more flaky shins!

[@Sarahf-97]

So helpful thank you! And your eyeshadow looks so pretty, what are you wearing?xx

[@Cashmere4500]

All and any favourites!!

[@nathaliez9783]

i enjoyed your video! bioderma has a face cream called atoderm which is in my opinion better than cicaplaste, it is like light enough in texture and repairs and protects the skin so well..it was so cold here in canada and i used it morning and night, and it chases away dullness and dryness..and the price is reasonable..i bought the dr sam for my 17 year old son who has moderate acne, and i must say his kin has improved..i truly enjoy this brand

[@RuthCrilly]

Noted, will try it!

[@KuwaitiHabibi]

Welcome back!

[@sarahbee27]

Fab to see you back, hope you enjoyed the break. Yes please for the makeup Favorite. Please can you tell me what lipstick you are wearing, looks lovely xx

[@RuthCrilly]

I will go and hunt it out! I was worried it was a bit brown on me?! x

[@nancyfielden270]

Yes, all, your favorites please! 😘

[@evka24]

love your hair colour! what do u use? thank u

[@rachelbuckenham4864]

Big yes to make up favourites

[@janelevey3435]

Looking beautiful!

[@gwenmassey7631]

More with Lisa please. 💐💐

[@KirstenMavric]

The shins!!!! Every winter my shins get SO dry that if I accidentally scratch one, I have to scratch and scratch and scratch it until it almost bleeds. It's a sort of pain/pleasure thing :o The only thing I find that works is pure petroleum jelly.

[@user-kk7mg4ex4s]

I do the same thing with my lips, which is infinitely worse! Cera Ve do a really great petroleum-based ointment.

[@carlarosa1980]

Wow great Video

[@kimberleestern]

We share several favorites including the Hada Labo and Inkey list products. Looking forward to hearing you on the Outspoken Beauty podcast! 💋. And yes please. Makeup favorites and Lisa back on 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@AliseL22]

Would love a makeup favourites please. Heading off soon to a bit warmer climate to escape some winter here in Canada and picking up the Elizabeth Arden Great 8 tomorrow - sounds perfect. Tx Ruth :-)

[@lharris8978]

Make up favourites - YES PLEASE RUTH!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏💄👌😘

[@MishaRW]

Hi, Ruth! Thanks for this list. I remember that you mentioned liking Medik8's Crystal Retinal a few times last year. Do you prefer the retinols that you featured here?

[@RuthCrilly]

That one is also amazing! I just had to go for the ones I'd used most in 2019 otherwise the video would have been about eight hours long!

[@MishaRW]

Thanks, good to know! I recently started using it.

[@kirstyjones898]

The May Lindstrom balm looks like a pricey dupe for Klairs Midnight Blue Calming Cream which is amazing, and now conveniently available in a tube (very handy when travelling).

[@janeymagee8695]

Yay,, she's back 😍😍😘

[@Youwinmeta]

What foundation are you wearing? You look fabulous

[@laurenvonhicks9047]

Yes please for makes up faves x

[@aimeewalkerquantz489]

I would love a 2019 favorites video on make-up! Thanks for sharing these! 🙏🏻

[@schnaadri]

Do you think a 23 year old could use that elizabeth arden spf? It sounds really good x

[@KuwaitiHabibi]

intojuly what does age have to do with it?

[@lisahide706]

I also love Dr Sam’s FM, the texture is gorgeous but in the winter months doesn’t always hydrate enough. How does the Dr Roebrook’s compare? Which is more hydrating? Just curious. Great to see you back 😘 x

[@RuthCrilly]

Dr Roebuck's is much richer I think!

[@kimholland435]

Great video as always. Thanks and yes please to favourite make up of 2019.

[@deborahabdelkader6350]

Yes to the make up favourites 😁

[@MakeupwithJane]

welcome back :-)

[@anitahadley2871]

Yes, makeup favorites and yes, more Lisa!

[@blackcatz1364]

I love HadoLabo - really affordable and better than any other Hylauronic Acid products I have tried. I have to buy from Asia as you can't get it readily in Australia - hopefully they will launch here soon.

[@sidravitale308]

Yes to makeup favorites, please!

[@ginamarie5575]

You have no Botox or filler !? Wow you look great ! I’m 37 and don’t have any ......yet 😆

[@louisaholland9270]
