loreal age perfect foundation is a heaven sent!! so hydrating and glowy im never using another foundation ever again. HOLY GRAIL for DRY skin

[@kristinj6298]

Yes part 2 please! I've been eyeing that foundation from Loreal for ages and think I will finally get it. The Essence blushes are just amazing at lasting all day! I am hoping they come out with a cream version, fingers crossed. The Covergirl clean mascara in the green tube is really fantastic. You have to build it but it doesn't clump and fans out in the best way.

[@christinedeets7070]

Love to hear how to use the foundation as a bronzer. I do not like when bronzers look orange. Thanks

[@lonnyking375]

Can you do an antiaging body skincare video?? Would love some retinol body lotions.... AHAs, etcs.

[@ltejle]

I adore coffee but have issues with dizziness so had to switch to decaf...use a Keurig and love a dark roast decaf like Peets or Green Mtn. Dark Magic decaf! Essence is a great brand, their Lash Princess False lash effect is my HG, also love their blushes, I'll have to get the cool toned shade as I have all of the other ones. The Essence Taupe it Up eyeshadow pallette with 6 shades is fantastic! I'm interested in the Cetaphil Moisturizer you mentioned but I'll likely have to order it as the stock in stores of products lately is just awful I'm finding. Yes to part 2 👍

[@blackeneddove]

I switched to decaf a little over a year ago. I never thought that would be a thing that I could do, but I did! So along with being sober, I am now caffeine-free as well. Peets makes a good decaf, Starbucks as well. But when I’m lazy (I don’t have a keurig at home right now) I just drink Nestles Taster’s Choice instant decaf. It’s honestly not that terrible once you get used to it. 😆

[@EastOrlandoFlorida]

If you switched to decaf for health reasons, you can type 'swiss water decaf coffee' in Amazon for alternatives without the added chemicals.

[@blackeneddove]

@@EastOrlandoFlorida thank you so much!

[@blackeneddove]

@@EastOrlandoFlorida yes, I did switch to decaf for health reasons. I didn’t know about Swiss water process. I will try one of those next from Amazon. Thanks again!

[@kalaniblake8699]

Peet's decaf Major Dickenson's is the best! It's so rich, I think if you did a blind taste test no one would know it's decaf! I do half caf, so that I can have two cups and not get jittery

[@blackeneddove]

@@kalaniblake8699 yes it is! I’ve tried a few now, but the Major Dickenson’s is currently my favorite decaf. 🙂

Stok cold brew is my favorite for at home coffee, though nothing compares to a Starbucks vanilla sweet cream cold brew!

[@poorthing]

Heel Genius by Soap and Glory.. Lovely scent. ( S&G made a body spray of this scent) it comes in a large tube 4.2oz. I use this on my hands, elbows, knees & feet. I have to use this every day, next to my bed, One in my purse.

[@JLeigh75309]

Loving the occasional alternative background. I was thinking I should have a "what Abbey's reviews made me buy. . ." comment (bought the large Pureology Color Fanatic and some Tanologist self tanner just yesterday. . .) -- but coffee -- Black Rifle, Whole Bean, Just Black. I'm an Army brat, and this is a veteran-owned business -- that's what made me try it. That it's the best coffee I've ever had makes me keep buying it. We have a grinder and a killer espresso machine; they roast right before shipping. We were tired of the burnt beans of other roasters. Chef's kiss!

[@swineinny1]

Well, Dr. Dray is loving Peach Slices (avail at CVS). I’ve been using the SA cleanser & like it & wanna try more. Will you review this line, Abbey?

[@teatime9649]

I ended up buying the Cetaphil face lotion, and the face cleanser from Bybi. So far I am in love my face feels so comfortable! I even got a soap and Glory hand cream called hand food and it is amazing!

Sioris has an amazing milk cleanser, probably my favorite! That Bybi cleanser looks amazing! Right now I’m trialing Face Theory’s vitamin c cream cleanser and I’m not sure how I feel about it yet.. leaves a touch of film but feels nice on the skin. The sioris one washes away beautifully cleanly

[@gardengypsy70]

Thank you Abbey! I would love to see drugstore shampoo and conditioner especially for a long hair! I also would like to see the most beneficial moisturizing body soap’s & lotion- maybe you did that and I didn’t see it or I’m just air heading out right now!

[@kathysharp7551]

Realizing this is slightly off topic from what you asked, I have a tip about using body moisterizers (not soaps, sorry). I have been taught to put moisturizer on my body after my bath while my skin is still damp (not dripping wet, but not completely toweled dry). Yes, it feels pretty weird the first few times. Then I let my skin air dry the rest of the way. This locks in the water moister making the moisterizers work better. Hope this helps. Good luck on your soap hunt!

It has the affect of a good anti-anxiety pill and who doesn't need that now!? For me, getting a bit of this on my decollete, after a shower before bed is a good, calming, relaxing tonic to help me get to sleep. One Con: May cause cookie cravings. Use responsibly.

[@lovelytunes4me]

Costco's Starbucks whole bean coffee in green and beige bag is the best coffee I have tried. I use Krups coffee grinder, the kind that the cup that holds the beans is detachable from the base. That is important, because in other models, you have to pour the grounds from the whole unit rather than the detachable cup. The two items bring coffee enjoyment to a whole new level.

[@marikasword]

Thanks for all the time an effort put into this vid! How do you know what shade (darker) to use for your bronzer? Is there a general rule to go 1, 2, 3 shades darker than your skin tone to make it look natural? Also, please do a teeth whitening video, because whatever you're using/doing...beautiful! 😍 Last question lol, did you use any lip liner with the two Revlon lipsticks? Thanks! love your videos !

[@Emmers1983]

Your silly faces during the product application clips were cracking me UP lol! Your videos always brighten my day:-) A product that I love from the drugstore is the Dr. Bronner lip balm in the light blue tube(it's called Naked and has no scent/flavor). It's the best balm I've ever found and it's not ridiculously expensive like some can be these days.

[@kathysharp7551]

I was obsessed with that lip balm! And, it saved my 80 year old mom's super dry winter lips when no other chapstick could. It isn't waxy and drying like other tubed chapsticks. This year I (and my mom) switched to straight up vasaline. I leave a travel sized one on my desk. Vasaline is super inexpensive, but not nearly as convenient as those wonderful blue tubes.

[@AbbeyYung]

😂😂 I’m so glad ♥️ I’ll have to try that!

[@biancaxbaby]

I melt my vaseline and pour it into empty lip balm tubes! I was burning through the dr bronner lip balm so just poured vaseline in an empty :)

Hi Abbey! Luved ur recommendations :) I'm also serious about SPF, I initially use a drugstore Advanced 50 spf Hydrating broad spectrum sunscreen that contains Antioxidants, hyaluronic acid & ceramides-( it's a Walgreens version of I'm sure something); I also use Colorscience Flex Face Shield spf 50 ( Not drugstore but you can get good price at Skin Store). Then I use & Mabelline Urban dream foundation 50 spf & mix it with Elf Cc spf 30, I also mix IT CC 50 spf. I dont at around with the sun!!🌞🌝

[@starlitexo]

Hey I don’t wanna be that person but don’t be shy to use actual spf underneath makeup. I love Walgreens hydrating version. There’s ton to try sometimes makeup with spf doesn’t hold 100% spf. You would have to use the entire product to get the full spf!

Love you girl!! Video idea: sugar and skincare / health. That might be a tough video to do since people get defensive about diet. But i watched a video where you mentioned you avoid sugar for skin health, and I'm the same way - i eat zero sugar (not including whole-food sources like fruit and the occasional glass of wine) because sugar gives me cystic acne. Would love to hear your take on the science behind this and how it fits into your lifestyle! I just feel like NO ONE talks about that. It was even more of a game changer than tretinoin for me, and was also a long and tough adjustment. I don't crave sugar anymore... it's just not worth it to me! ♡♡♡
