[@darceysav]

you had me at "this stuff is a hot mess" LOL!! the daylight check- in on your forehead had me cracking up so loud I almost woke up my husband! KUDOS to going to work like that and taking one for the team Shelly!!

[@goow]

It was a loooooong day! LOL!!

[@Emmac1984]

Burt’s Bees and CYO Lifeproof = 🙌🏻👌🏻

[@ambergerhelper7852]

I really like the Burt's Bees cleansers. I have the gentle, sensitive skin and the deep cleaning versions. Ooh! This reminds me of your Drugstore Concealers Battle- SNAKE! 🐍

[@goow]

hahahahahhahahah I had so much fun with those snake pops in that video!!

[@GlossGalore]

Thank you so much for this review! I just saw this foundation as I was browsing online and thought “hey, why not?” I’m glad I searched out some reviews and found yours, because you showed me why not and saved me the money! x

[@goow]

This is one of the few that made it into my Worst of 2018 bin! :-D

[@RaweEleganceArt]

I'm on the fence about this one still myself and was so happy to see your mug LIBRA love 😉😊loved the video buddy

[@goow]

Yeah Libras!!!

[@xzor2101]

I love your reviews Shelly ! Honesty is what counts, so if WE all were to give you a grade it would be a 10 out of 10 for sure Also I hear you about the honeycomb packaging, it’s lovely... but more research needed in their makeup chemistry dept. Keep up the great videos :). Cheers, from the Pacific Northwest

[@goow]

Thanks, Xzor! I'm guessing it was tested on a very limited range of skin types (of the younger variety).

[@kellymarie7660]

Was it gross?? Lol Passing on this one myself too!! Great review.. Always look forward to Fridays 😀😀👍

[@goow]

+Kelly Marie I picked up 3 new drugstore foundations today so it wasn’t a total loss!

[@venusrose3734]

Can you do a review on the new LA colors foundation? I've been hearing good things about it, but I want to see how it performs on mature skin 😬😬

[@goow]

Added to the list! I'll have to order it online because I don't think any place around me carries them.

[@goow]

Just ordered it!!

[@venusrose3734]

Geek Out of Water awesome! Thanks.

[@cmphillips1968]

I am just loving your foundation videos, so informative, and love how you show the close ups as you can see how the foundation is, I am 48 and have similar skin to you, great videos ...

[@goow]

Thanks, Christine! Studio lights make everything pretty at a distance, but the proof is in the close-up! And so many foundations just don't work on maturing skin. I'm still hunting my never-fail holy grail!

[@deborahjensen875]

Thank you for this review. Libra/October birthday too!

[@goow]

w00t libras for the win!!

[@jenniferduncan5760]

It seems like this foundation works for no one! I wonder who they intended this foundation for?! I am someone who has aging skin with cystic acne (so I would say your and Thataylaaaas skin combined) and I am glad I watched both reviews 🙃

[@goow]

Some things work for some people and not others, but I can't even recommend that anybody try this one!

[@mrs.bstotz4836]

What kind of Bronzer & blush did & do u use?Cause I've watch a few of u vids & I have to say, I love the color. Great vids for us ladies who r not in their 20's... I think u have quite good skin. I'm almost 37 myslef. Real vids with some class. Keep em up 👍

[@goow]

Thanks, Brandee! Almost without exception I wear L'Oreal Glam Bronze as my bronzer. Most frequently used blushes are Tarte Exposed, Becca Flowerchild, and Physicians Formula Butter Blush in Natural Glow. :) I usually list what I'm wearing in the down bar of each video if you're looking for which specific one I wore.

[@mrs.bstotz4836]

Thax u, I'll have to try some of ur recommendations. Been enjoying ur vids. I'm on the hunt for a glowy, comfortable yet full coverage foundation. I'm thinking I just may have to mix two together to get what I'm looking for! Any ideas? I do live to mix two great foundations together especially if one isn't Avaliable in many shades.

[@jenhall5718]

Damn I was going to try this foundation, but not any more!

[@goow]

There's always the possibility that it would work for you, but I'd recommend buying it someplace that lets you return open items! Just in case ;)

[@sarahinwonderland9248]

This is exactly how most liquid foundations perform on my skin! Ugh... :/ Thanks for the great review as always!

[@goow]

It's not often I run into ones that are totally unwearable, but it happens... oy.

[@christineoliveira1164]

Loreal compact true match foundation cream review please and yes i would give that burts bees an F too probably better for oily skin

[@goow]

Added to the list! They finally go down to their "1" level lightness in the compact!

[@amandah8703]

Love your videos.

[@goow]

Thanks, Amanda!

[@mrs.lanesworld4175]

Wow. Just wow. Not good. Definitely doesn't live up to claims. Thanks for another good review! On another note, I got the new strangely shaped Revlon sponge, and I really like it!!!

[@goow]

+Linda L I haven’t seen it around yet!

[@mrs.lanesworld4175]

Geek Out of Water I have only seen it at walmart! I looked at cvs, walgreens, and target. I also got the elf black sponge but haven't tried it yet.

[@goow]

Dang I was at Walmart yesterday but kind of skimmed Revlon. I did pick up the new Kokie foundation and... another brand I have never heard of - Found?

[@mrs.lanesworld4175]

Geek Out of Water yeah I think that found is exclusive to walmart, and I've been curious about kokie. I look forward to hearing your thoughts!

[@frecknic]

This was on sale at Ulta so I picked it up with a couple Revolution foundations.. I came looking to see if anyone else had it look so awful 😭 I took it right off, it was crazy separated just applying! Hot mess indeed.

[@goow]

This is still up there with the worst of the year for me!

[@helpfulnatural]

OMG! LOL! I'm so sorry for laughing but it's only because we've all been there. Kudos to you for going to work like that. The daylight check-in was the most revealing of the texturing you spoke of. Holy crap! I found this line for sale at my local CVS and was curious about the foundation specifically. The price is what stopped me from buying it...thank GOD! You are so, so brave! Well, you can always use it for a base for Halloween if you decide to dress up as a lizard! :D I'm not sure that even wearing the oil elixir would help this product. Yikes!

[@goow]

+helpfulnatural the store display looks so nice, too! LOL I’m sure I scared some people that day. But I’ve got my Halloween backup plan at least!

[@helpfulnatural]

LOLOLOLOL!!!!

[@JPMJPM]

What do you film with? Just curious!

[@goow]

+Jen P. Mitts Camera is the Canon 70D! I’ve got the lenses and lights linked in the info box!

[@JPMJPM]

Geek Out of Water Ah! I was wondering if I could use my iPad with some sort of light...

[@vickiphillips230]

I haven't seen very many good reviews about any of their new makeup:(

[@goow]

+Vicki Phillips It’s such a bummer because I really thought the concept would do well!

[@autumnmabis6998]

"It's not moving. I'm confused. " 😂

[@goow]

Stream-of-consciousness reviews, guaranteed! :-D

[@TalliesbyDee]

This foundation was an absolute fail for me also. It caked. It separated. It looked terrible.

[@goow]

Yeah it was one of the worst of the year on me!

[@trishtrish999]

I wonder who they tested this foundation on. They need to expand their peer review group and include 40+. I tried this in a darker shade and it was literally gray on my skin. Made the mistake of ordering from the BB website, they don't take returns. It was awful.

[@goow]

Yikes! Yeah, this is one of those products that I'm really surprised made it to market. I haven't seen or heard a positive review on it yet.

[@TrujilloRosalba]

Shelly, I gave you a thumbs up because of your cat! 🐱

[@goow]

+Rosalba Trujillo They always steal the show! :-D There are 4 of them around here....

[@kaylaq5670]

I am 24 with dry skin 4 months post partum (baby came 5.5 months early ...body still thinks I am pregnant) the burts bees was NOT for me....pores like the moon! And fine lines I have never known i had. Also every shade in the lightest color is TOO DARK. Just received huda in milkshake ...first ever foundation TOO LIGHT FOR ME...BUT IT SUCKS!!!!

[@goow]

It's so hard to find pale-friendly foundations, especially at the drugstore price point. This one bummed me out. It had such potential, I thought. I haven't picked up the Huda yet.

[@kaylaq5670]

Geek Out of Water huda sucks too imo. Shoes every pore and wrinkle. I have dry ass skin tho w dry patches . It is thick and transfers like shit. Doesn't even set with powder

[@bibimaizoon7173]

Goodness Glows blows! I have to agree that foundation looked bad going on & got worse from there. Whew! F-

[@1015SaturdayNight]

Oh wow, no way I could wear this, it's so dry!

[@goow]

It was almost epic in its dryness. :-/

[@JPMJPM]

Hey! I’m over 40 and have dry skin, too!

[@goow]

+Jen P. Mitts Woohoo 40-somethings represent!

[@autumnmabis6998]

I don't think I've seen a single positive review on this foundation.

[@goow]

I haven't either, now that I've started looking. I thought maybe it was just me... but no. :-/

[@truegirl2anna]

This foundation was HORRENDOUS on my skin. I’m only 22 but holy crap. Absolutely nothing about this foundation was “glowy” except when it basically dissolved off by 3 hours of wear. I have combo/dry skin....this stuff was so patchy. Worst foundation I have honestly ever tried.

[@goow]

Wow - I'm not glad that you had a bad experience but I'm glad to hear it's not just my age that made it look awful! It was just gross... and I would've had to pay shipping to return it, so it wasn't even worth sending it back!

[@KaraLey98]

Well, oops, sorry about this one. Too bag since it was probably a "clean" foundation, but certainly not worth putting up with all those problems.

[@goow]

It put me off from the whole brand! I had a spoiled lip balm from them right before this, and haven't bought any Burt's Bees since. Bummer since I hear good things.

[@BlueJean1138]

I have refused to by from this brand after seeing the documentary about the original owner (the man on the packaging).

[@goow]

I haven't seen that doc but have added it to my watch list! Thanks!

[@karenjones1897]

huge disappointment, i had high hopes for this product. sad for burts. thanks for sharing your knowledge and time on this product. love your video's, shelly1 ~k

[@goow]

I'm bummed but so far I haven't seen much in the way of positive reviews for most of this line. :( I'm not going to try any more from it.

[@mashinmaro]

Ugh burt's bees always has this gross chemically scent in a lot of their products that i can't stand. I would love to see a review on the estee lauder perfectionist serum compact tho!

[@goow]

Added to the list! I'm pretty sure I won't be trying any more Burt's Bees.... I've only ever had 1 other thing from them, a lip balm.

[@joyride924]

Goodness. Not for mature skin.

[@goow]

+Joy ride I’d say definitely not. Eeek.

[@tinahuttner7280]

My gosh, that's Definitly not your shade.look very pale😝

[@goow]

Ghostly even! This one was a bust for sure 👻😂

[@ginnyburley9552]

Good grief! This stuff sounds awful 😳

[@goow]

And it's not even worth returning because I got 5x Ulta points on it! Oh well.... hehe.

[@lindajohnson.]

Think I will pass on this one, one hot mess!

[@goow]

Such a mess!
