[@DoraSometimes]

What have you done to me?!? I'm totally hooked, from the moment I've discovered your channel...and now I "have" to binge watch all if your videos. Poor me😉 Honestly, you are such a wonderful discovery to me. Thank you for your thoroughness and dedication. Love from Croatia 💙

[@CarmelNicoleBeauty]

@@DoraSometimes Ahh, thank you so much, Dora! 🥹 You’ve no idea how much that means to me and I’m so grateful that you’re here. Lots of love back to beautiful Croatia! 🇭🇷 I really appreciate you! 🥰🩷

The revlon creme eyeshadow in caramel is wonderful! It's one of my favorite one and done shadows. It's very dimensional.

[@CarmelNicoleBeauty]

@@fizzie.lizzzie You have great taste ☺️ They’re wonderful - and so easy! High end quality without the price tag! Thank you so much for sharing ☺️🩷

[@Houseofgamine]

This video was really helpful. As someone who wears makeup once per week and how expiration dates are set up specially for cream products I can’t get myself to purchase high end anymore but when I wear makeup I want the look I’m used to. I am definitely appreciative of your recommendations and will likely add a few to my collection.

[@CarmelNicoleBeauty]

I’m so glad you found it helpful! You’re absolutely right to skip the high-end stuff, especially if you don’t get through it all. There are so many fantastic drugstore options now, so you’re definitely not missing out! I’ll be sure to plan a part 2 of this video at some point soon 😘💜

I’m in the US. I am truly enjoying Neutrogena concealer. So creamy and hydrating. The NYX Fix It Stick It is the best brow gel. My favorite mascara is Essence Lash Princess with the teal lettering. L’Oréal makes great eye shadow sticks for one and done. L’Oréal also has a liquid blush and it’s less pigmented than the elf so for me it is much more user friendly. Neutrogena has the best tinted moisturizer. Physicians Formula Butter Foundation is absolutely fantastic. NYX Contour And Highlighter dual stick is amazing. Milani has great baked blushes and lip oils. Elf Halo Powder is what I use to set concealer. Burts Bees a makes a great Tinted lip balm. Milani and Honest Beauty make great cream blushes. And for loose powder, don’t sleep on Wet N Wild.

[@CarmelNicoleBeauty]

@@carols.4252 Hi Carol! Wow, thank you so much for these amazing recommendations! I’ve made a note of them and will definitely be picking up a few. I really need to try Milani soon- I’ve heard such great things! I’d love to try the L’Oreal blush but it hasn’t reached us over here yet ☹️ Thanks again for all the fantastic info, it’s so helpful!🥰🩷

Ohh first video from you I watched and boy oh boy a jackpot for sur. Y je little brush that cones with revlon eyeshadow is really useful for darker shades that I use as a liner…..so nice. Love your focus on what works. Thank you

[@CarmelNicoleBeauty]

@@ahalma3720 This was a really lovely comment to read- thank you so much! ☺️ Such a great tip to use the little applicator for liner- I’m definitely going to try it! Thanks for sharing 🥰💜

Profusion have always had amazing 10 pan palettes for drugstore, they are at Walmart and Amazon, “smoky” and “nudes” are my fave for everyday. The 21 pan are super good too, the “chocolates” and “nude bliss” are the best.

[@CarmelNicoleBeauty]

@@brittanypennycuff4512 Hi Brittany! I think I have just one Profusion blush, but I’m definitely going to look into your suggestions - thank you so much! 🩷☺️

[@eleanor543]

I have the ELF Halo Glow and the L'Oréal but my favourite is the Revlon Skinlights. Love the Loreal Million Lashes and also Maybelline Skyhigh. I'm going to try the Elf foundation when I've used up my current ones. I recommended it to my friend in shade 25 and she loves it. I have 2 of the ELF blush. Not used the ELF lipsticks but have Line Leader lip liner. I have a few items from MUA which you can buy in Superdrug in the UK. Lip liner and lipstick in Heroic is good though not long lasting but only £3.50 each. Great video❤

[@CarmelNicoleBeauty]

@@eleanor543 Hi Linda! I haven’t explored too many Revlon products lately, but I’ll definitely need to change that. I’ve only tried one or two items from MUA, but now I’m thinking about doing a full face using their products - thank you so much for the suggestion! 🩷☺️ P.S. I’m so glad your friend loves the foundation, it really is gorgeous!

[@AboutFaceWithMonaBagot]

Hi Carmen, I really appreciate this video. I do think that drugstore is rivaling higher end these days. I really appreciate your picks and recommendations! I will need to try a few of these! I do agree that brow products from the drugstore are great. I have crazy brows and they take a lot of attention. I often skimp on them and should not! I am definitely a primer girl. I like Catrice and Nyx from the drugstore 🙂 I agree with the drugstore mascaras too! I love the Nyx concealer too. Thank you, this was a wonderful video. I do think that I need to try the ELF satin foundation more. I was not wowed by it, but maybe my skin was in a dry state! Beautiful contour. Have a great weekend! Mona

[@CarmelNicoleBeauty]

@@AboutFaceWithMonaBagot Hey Mona! I was definitely not wowed by the Elf when I first tried it, so maybe give it another whirl! I reach for it over most high end now and I really didn’t expect that! The drugstore have some amazing options out there…but prices definitely seem to be climbing 😬 thanks for watching lovely friend, have a great weekend! 💜

[@acelab5390]

Thank you for the video! ❤ If I may also recommend the L’Oréal Infallible eyeshadows! They are really good! Amber rush is a gorgeous color and fantastic formula! For mascara I would recommend the Milani Highest Rated Mascara! It’s great!

[@CarmelNicoleBeauty]

Oh my goodness, you don’t understand how many times I’ve tried to get my hands on Amber Rush! It’s not available here & when it does appear on Amazon it’s £16 😳😳 I will always keep my eye out for it though! Thanks for the Milani suggestion, I’ll definitely check it out! ☺️🩷

I finally found the Revlon eye shadows yesterday in the store. They actually are hard to find in the stores in the US. They didn’t have caramel.😢 But I did get a couple colors. You are right. One and done and it lasts all day!!!

[@CarmelNicoleBeauty]

@@mom57-54 Oh gosh! It seems to be the most popular shade ☹️ Amazon usually have it in stock, so worth keeping in mind for future reference! Thanks so much for sharing, I’m so pleased that you’ve enjoyed them! 🩷🥰

So many great drugstore product recommendations! Thanks for doing this video Carmel. It’s always great to know of quality products at a lower price point. I love the Maybelline lifter liners thanks to you telling me about them. I also use the Maybelline fit me loose powder - I find it really good. I definitely need to get around to trying the Elf satin foundation and the Elf satin lipsticks. Thanks for a great video 😊

[@CarmelNicoleBeauty]

Carmel, you are looking stunning in this video! 😍 I used to own a few shades of the Revlon cream shadows and Caramel was my go-to! And I've recently had my eye on the Neutral Beauty Bay Palette. I love all the shades but I just don't love big palettes unless I can remove the shadows and transfer a few into a smaller magnetic palette. 💕

[@CarmelNicoleBeauty]

@@AngelissimaASMR You’re too kind, thanks so much Annie! It’s funny how many people love the Revlon- they’re fab 🤩 Totally get you with the big palettes, they’re hard to store & you end up neglecting lots of shades! Hope you’re doing great lovely, thanks for stopping by 🩷🥰

Carmel you could use crayons as makeup and you’d still look gorgeous!

The colour is stunning and looked so easy to apply! I am afraid of cream or liquid shadows but I may have to try it! 😆 Thank you for another wonderful video, love! 💕

[@CarmelNicoleBeauty]

@@heartmumblr Ahhh Sharon, you’re too sweet! Your crayon comment had me laughing 😄 Don’t be intimidated by cream shadow -they’re honestly the easiest to work with!

Overall soft, neutral, take you anywhere make up. Ticks all my boxes, thank you! Much love! 🥰 xx

Carmel, hearing you mention that Colourpop and Physician’s Formula are difficult to get where you live made me wonder if there are regional beauty brands you enjoy but don’t share on your channel because they’re not accessible in other parts of the world.

Hi lovely 😊 I'll have to get the Catrice lip balm as their not sticky, I bought the Nyx click up one and they ARE sticky 🙄 It is very frustrating that here in the UK that we can't get Colourpop (ironic how colour is spelt and yet we can't get it) 😊 Elf are coming out with bronzers and a few new shades of the liquid blushes 🎉 Thanks for another great video, take care 😘

[@CarmelNicoleBeauty]

@@dawnbaby Hi beautiful Dawn! Oh yep, the Nyx is definitely sticky, it’s a shame because the shades are beautiful!

I don’t know if you have any of Elf’s Halo glow newest shades. Before I had to buy the light shade because the others were too peachy or orange but I see they added more. An olive light medium shade 3.5 is peaking my interest plus other shades.
