[@maryturkmen1264]

Same 😊😊😊

Me too!

[@derendacragg2288]

Please do a BOOTS NO. 7 review of hits & misses! No one does and it is a great brand. 💕

[@BetsyG24]

Yes, please

[@jing1528]

I’m in my early 50’s and I feel like your videos do apply for mature skin as well besides the younger audiences.. I always enjoy watching and learning from your videos!..thanks for sharing! ❤️

[@kittymowmow12]

I feel like you'd love the info and techniques and products that Wayne Goss and Robert Welsh talk about They're also a nice breath of fresh air in the makeup community and are worth a check out

[@jplattfull]

I love that you don’t fuss with your hair when you talk to us, you look gorgeous as always!❤️

[@jggarcia94]

You look SO good in pink! I would love to see a makeup tutorial that speaks to everything you're wearing in this video. Your blue eyes POP! Great job Zabrena!!

[@m0nsterL0ve24]

You look gorgeous. I am loving you in that hot pink lip, you can really rock that shade. I so look forward to Aprils videos. Can't wait to see all that you have planned.

[@HaleyMarieAllen]

I love so much that you have your own lash brand and continue to talk positively about other lash brands. It is so nice to feel like they are genuinely reviewed without your business bias. I just appreciate that so much. Also just love you in general!

[@meitalkabeli509]

Wow the Elf Truffles palette looks amazing, the silver looks so good blended with the browns. The lipstick you are wearing is so pretty and very nice Spring color.

[@tonyalavigne2455]

You make elf palettes look Incredible!

[@lenahill3686]

I have found your channel during this horrible reality we are living, but what a breathe of fresh air you are and I am so thankful that I had the opportunity to find your channel!

[@zks2010]

Great lip color today! And your hair is gorgeous.

[@Kim-ri1hg]

I loved the elf Rosewater eyeshadows on you! 💗💗

[@WhoWhatWhereWhenWhy7]

Personally, I loved the Rosewater palette on you.

[@hafsahsaeed5567]

Kimberly O'Neal i agree

[@phyllisdolbow1878]

I agree, even said outloud, that looks pretty on you. How did it wear during the day?

[@carolperdue7534]

Yes it looked really pretty.

[@Kim-ri1hg]

Kimberly O'Neal ladies I totally agree Rosewater looks amazing on Zabrena! 💖

[@janelle009]

Agreed!!

[@theresasmm1958]

Your pink with your hair color makes your eyes pop! So pretty!

[@beverlystickney3289]

I have been self quarantined in California for 16days, alone, a little frightened. Your videos bring me a sense of normalcy and happiness. Thank you.

[@LeslieSunshine17]

Love the pinks Zabrena! Great video.

[@goynplaycs]

Zabrena, I just have to say, you are my favorite KZbinr of all time, and still a genuinely nice person after all these years. I so look forward to you brightening my day. I did meet you years ago , when you did a Mac Eyeshadow phone consult for me, and help jump start my love and addiction for all things makeup and beauty. You have a beautiful personality, and you are so funny. Never change! Thanks for all the wonderful years of fun! God bless you and your family.

[@CatEyedFancy]

Random happy comment that really has nothing to do with this particular video: Over the years my makeup style has changed greatly and is no longer similar to yours, I don't even really buy makeup anymore (more of a use it til it runs out person now) but I still LOVE seeing your videos. You are always so happy and genuine and I still enjoy watching you do your makeup and reviews. I love observing the styles of other women and I still like seeing all the makeup without actually having to buy it. Your pink lipstick is so happy and "Spring" feeling. So I guess I just wanted to stop in and say, you are lovely and your videos are lovely and I always look forward to seeing the next!

[@m0rbidm0mma]

That lip is beautiful, very complimentary on you.

[@aprilbarton7483]

Love the springy look! 💗

[@ashlynnkaplan680]

I don’t know why it has taken so long for someone to talk about this concealer but I’m so glad you finally got it and are talking about it and love it!! It is such a good one and I find it’s the only concealer I’ve ever used that I can actually use both on the eyes and face! It’s so bizarre but amazing. The colors are neutral enough I think that they would work for a lot of people. And I love the size! This concealer has lasted me so long. It may be $13 or $14 but you’re getting a lot more product than most other concealers minus maybe the elf hydrating camo concealer.

[@donnakarnisky907]

I'm a redhead, fair, and oily. You have given so many recommendations that have worked for me. Your positive down-to-earth attitude makes your videos that much more anticipated for me💕 Thanks for all your sharing. Btw, I'm loving the curls in this video.

[@alexiskelly1498]

Strawberry Pink 🍓 vibes. The color pink looks beautiful on you.

[@MrsMelissaM]

Great review as always Zabrena. Informative & very helpful. Thank you so much. Hope you & your little family are staying safe & sanitized!

[@makeupboss3568]

Such a beautiful pink lipstick. Looks like Spring !

[@kathrynrady8028]

This lip looks amazing on you!

[@marylinramos4300]

You look so beautiful and radiant! I don't even wear makeup, but I just can't get enough of your channel!! lol Thank you for helping bring a bit of spring freshness during such gloomy times

[@CairoManolo]

Im convinced you do these videos from inside a palace you remind me so much of a disney princess

[@Zabrena]

LOL! Too funny! Just a room in a garage, haha :)

[@scotzmnswife]

I can imagine Zabrena playing Amy Adams' role of Princess Giselle in the 2007 Disney movie "Enchanted." Amy has beautiful red hair as well! 😊 💖 👍🏻

[@Zabrena]

I love her and her hair!!

[@betty4gators]

really like the updates on the products. i appreciate it when you share what you learned by continuing to use the products in different ways.

[@elinorbaker]

I love how you give a second chance to unpredictable results product's for better or different use.

[@christinaclos1820]

I am always captivated by how beautiful your nails are 💗

[@19katie5]

Everything about your look in this video is absolutely stunning!

[@mandijones4995]

Your hair is beautiful in this video. Please don't ever change. Your so down to earth.

[@biancavasileva9803]

Your hair is absolutely amazing! 💖

[@beautybyjoyeberry4895]

Beautiful pink t-shirt! Looks gorgeous on you!

[@masterjennifer4549]

Thank you so much, Zabrena! I always trust you for my make up needs! c: I hope you and your family are doing well! I'm sending you my best wishes 💜

[@MichelleMyBelle2121]

Love that lipstick girl! ❤️

[@Dancewithpaula]

Thank you for these videos. They are really needed right now as a lovely distraction. Please keep it up.

[@tamaramorton8812]

Looking forward to more drugstore/affordable make up in April. I love it when you try the lesser known brands because you're opening the make up world for me in a way that I couldn't do for myself. You're a make up social worker! (The field I've always worked in)

[@ClutchSling]

You vogue so awesomely! Excellent work! Thank you for the research!💕🤗

[@bethlarsen8342]

I've been watching you now for through the years, I think you're a fantastic make-up artist you're doing a wonderful job. I will always continue watching you your honest and I enjoy watching you. Thank you

[@reneeanthony9048]

You look beautiful in pink! And that lipstick color! Love it!

[@bebright123]

You look especially beautiful in this video!!! 🌸 Happy spring!!

[@mirny1509]

Your hair looks beautiful! Lots of mermaid vibes. You must be so busy with keeping your little ones entertained during quarantine. Sending love and best wishes your way ❤️

[@marcyhart5509]

I just thought about wearing Pink Orchid yesterday. It's such a pretty color and you look fabulous in it!

[@savanah1407]

I keep hearing about the No. 7 Life & Luminate concealer! I’ll have to try it. As always, THANK YOU Zabrena! I always dread trying new face cleansers, moisturizers, primers and foundations because my skin is so sensitive it takes forever for my skin to recover-and then it’s just back to its normal, not great, condition that I wanted to improve in the first place. 😂 I appreciate you testing so many new things so that I don’t have to try as many. Hope you & the family are doing well! 💜

[@ginamarielacey7354]

You are so gorgeous! I'm obsessed with your hair🥰 can you please do a skincare routine video ? I want to know exactly what you do , your skin is flawless

[@paulinej24]

Looking forward to the April drugstore make up videos!!💕🙌

[@AnEmmeni]

Your makeup is absolutely flawless in this video and luv yr hair. Thanks again for another I formative video x

[@marox79]

Love the lip colour on you. I like pinks like that, though they tend to look too bold on me. An idea for upcoming lockdown vids: Product Empties (would you repurchase or not? Body / hair, etc)

[@jynaya]

That lip colour is amazing 😍🙌🏻

[@tdsollog]

I’m loving your hair lately! Just wonderful!

[@JoJoTinkRN]

Excellent video. I’m so happy to see your beautiful, smiling face during this stressful, scary time. Your look with your shirt are beautiful and that hair, Girl, you belong in a Pantene commercial. I hope you, your husband, and all the kiddos are staying healthy and that the social isolation isn’t too overwhelming. Stay safe and thanks again for brining joy to my day!! 😘 💜 🤗

[@stephaniecastro2028]

You look so beautiful girl, I love your hair, my favorite drugstore products that I'm currently using is the Nyx micro brow pencil in the shade brunette, I really love the covergirl exhibitionist waterproof mascara, also from covergirl emerald green eye liner pencil, Burt's Bees tinted lip balm in the shade rose dahlia, Milani blush dolce pink, shea moisture coconut milk cleanser, and a new favorite lip liner from Jordana called Tawny, can wait for April drugstore❤💞💕

[@kerrysmith887]

Love love love! Cant wait for affordable April!!

[@jejoibe]

Your hair is the most beautiful ever!!!!❤️

[@lbshopsalot626]

Hi Zabrena, beautiful as always 🦋. I cannot believe how refreshed you are looking with a young baby and two others to entertain. You seriously look amazing 😉. I am intrigued to try the No. 7 serum concealer. The difference under eye sold me!!!

[@LaurieLatimer-sisfantastic]

Hi Zabrena! You're looking well and happy!! I love that pretty pink lip, it's so SPRING!! I'm excited for Affordable April, and always a fan of Drugstore videos!! Thanks for sharing, I'll have to pick up an elf palette!! Also, I will agree with you on the Real Techniques sponge tearing up after 2-3 months. They're convenient to pick up at the drugstore if you're in a pinch though. ~Blessings! xoxo

[@pamcollins1651]

Another great video Zabrena thank you 🥰 I’m sure everyone is sooo glad for the distraction! We have our 12 yo twin grandsons who live with us and believe me I truly do appreciate your videos especially in these challenging times of no school etc. Stay safe, stay well 😘

[@kimk8869]

Looking forward to your April vids! Love your honest and informative reviews! 😊

[@angelahale7914]

Being stuck at home has gotten your creative juices flowing, has it? Good! I'm excited to see what you've dreamed up for next month.

[@angieelliott8741]

RT brushes are amazing, but I love the AOA sponge.

[@rebahensley5323]

You look so beautiful today! Loving the pink!💗🌸🎀🌺⚘💮🌷

[@T_Swizzle.13_fl]

You look amazing in pink! Love the top and the lipstick color suits you so well!

[@kimberlycouture2373]

One absolute "must have" that I have come across is the "Wander Beauty- frame your face eyebrow pencil"...I cannot express to you how many eyebrow products I have tried and how many years I have been looking for one that was everything I wanted. Over the years i even found some I liked but then eventually for some reason it didn't work the same. But this one is literally the best eyebrow pencil I have ever used hands down...I have sparse brows and this pencil is magic without making it look unnatural! Absolutely amazing! A without a doubt must have in my life! Love your videos Zabrina! ❣️✝️

[@jessicao8517]

That lipstick is PERFECT

[@dinagoldstein77]

Finally!! An honest review abt the elf eyeshadow palettes. I have the rosewater palette and I didn’t like it at all and everyone was saying how great it is. The shimmers barely showed up on my eyes even after layering them a ton and then I had sparkles everywhere and the light matte shade barely showed up even after layering. Thank you so much for always being honest and not just agreeing with everyone else 👍

[@mommabear5059]

The hair ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️. You are such a unique beauty. I love that you’re not like anyone else.

[@debbierossier3185]

You rock that pink lipstick - I love it. Thanks for taking our mind off all the craziness going on in the world, if only for a little while. Hope you and your family are all staying well?

[@carolperdue7534]

Your hair looks really pretty with the waves! Also like that lip color. Thanks for sharing your finds. ❤️

[@misseriksson8523]

Your calm relaxed voice and ”aura” together with your direct straight to the point approach made me subrscribe. Love that you do not exaggerate or shout at the camera and just explained without using to much words and ”raving”, showed clearly and were relateable. Thank you! Happy new sub haha. Btw that lipstick to your haircolor? BEAUT! 🌺🌸

[@pinkeristaa]

You look gorgeous, Mrs. Z.... Wow that lipstick shade was made for you 💖... Thank you for the videos... Stay safe and healthy....my best wishes for you, your family and your loved ones.🙏

[@annastump6800]

I’ve had my 3 Real Technique sponges for 2+ years!! I can’t believe yours fell apart so easily :(( I need to try the Elf total face sponge I’ve heard so much about it

[@aprilanonymous7237]

I bought the multi pack. First one didn't stand up, but second one going for years. Maybe it depends on the "run" of the product at the factory.

[@brendadawson4912]

Which ELF sponge is recommended? The one that’s shaped like the standard real tree sponge or the other that is flat on bottom with pointy tip?

[@AmyBlack1206]

I’ve had both sponges. My RT sponges were always fine. Never had any issue w them. I also have the ELF sponge and for some reason it just nicer. I think it washes well. I don’t have one tiny nick in it or anything. I wash it up every night so in the morning I just have to wet it. After some time w the RT sponge it just starts to feel heavy or something. Like it just doesn’t stay nice and light and fluffy after a wash. I don’t know. Hard to explain. But I just love my ELF sponge.

[@brandikennedy3405]

It’s my favorite!

[@summeranderson3848]

I love the elf sponge. I got it as a gift from ulta for buying elf products. I will definitely buy it again

[@saracarter1738]

You always have the most beautiful hair!

[@kimmyc2862]

When you were applying the Believe Beauty blush? Even tho you don’t line your waterline too often, I LOVE that look! I tend to the smoky, black, lots of black liner. But any look you do is gorgeous!

[@jozapper31]

Your hair is EVERYTHING!!!!

[@mindygooding9458]

Always so happy to see you pop up in my feed. Really looking forward to April!!! Something to look forward to while quarantined!!!

[@PMDawn7]

The Real Techniques sponges are my fave. I've never had a problem.

[@suzit3237]

Totally enjoyed the video!!! It’s great to see you so enthusiastic and your beautiful smile. ❤️❤️❤️ It’s very uplifting in this difficult time and a great distraction.💕

[@melissabchow3564]

Your hair is absolutely beautiful!!!

[@godivaone3891]

Thanks Zabrena. You never disappoint.

[@shrutibose2612]

Pink is my favorite colour . You look lovely. God bless you. Who else likes her videos even before it begins? Me 🙋🏻‍♀️ I love Zabrena

[@CryssyJ]

Love the lipstick here.

[@samanthagaudet1461]

The lashes you are wearing in the clip showing the end of day with the concealer are GORGEOUS. Omg they look beautiful on you. Wow wow wow.

[@samanthagaudet1461]

Ok. Kiss. Great lashes.

[@Zabrena]

LOVE them!

[@alLKABZstudios]

Your hair looks amazing!

[@patriciasmith8205]

Your hair is so beautiful, love the curl's in your hair,,, great video, love from the uk,,

[@melissaemolo2702]

You make even the crappy Elf eyeshadow palettes look amazing.

[@raceliable]

Your look today is so 'pin-up style' love it!!

[@scotzmnswife]

I've never tried any of the Real Techniques sponges, but the AOA sponges from the ShopMissA website always last a long time for me. The purple ones & the black ones in particular seem to hold up well, & I always wash my sponges after each use. The best part is that they are only $1.00 USD. Can't beat that! 😉💜🖤💜🖤👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@alexsandra9000]

scotzmnswife I second that! And for $1, i wouldn’t mind if I did have to replace them more often. I personally like the light pink ones - they are so soft!

[@angieelliott8741]

Love them, too!

[@reneewerner1972bd]

I love the aoa sponges but my 19 year old daughter swears by the pawpaw's sponge lol she has about 10 of them

[@snookiedoo]

That hair looks gorgeous girl!

[@ciel7339]

Your hair!!! Seriously...too pretty!!

[@Litsaki1000]

Your hair looks absolutely gorgeous. Hey beauty 💕

[@forest_fae_moon]

I love your makeup in this video! Your lipstick is so bright and pretty!!! It goes perfectly with the top you're wearing. Please do share which lipstick it is :D. Super excited to see what you have for us in April!! Love and Peace, Kareesa

[@jal76712]

Great video as usual. I just love you and your advice you give. Thank you for doing your great videos. ❤️

[@debraedwards8150]

I can’t wait for April’s videos! Love watching you and learning!

[@Randilynn66]

If it wasn’t frugal Friday, I wouldn’t know what day it was. Lol

[@erinescence2095]

Everyone's schedules and routines have been so upended with the health crisis that a lot of us are in the same boat!

[@jenniferanchondo6852]

Love your hair! You should do a tutorial on that❤❤
