FULL COLLECTION: LUNAR BEAUTY Eternal Eclipse

[@biogirl1381]

you look as beautiful as always. anyone who says they’re the exact same person they were a year or two ago are lying to themselves. i’m definitely NOT the same person i was 6 months ago, much less a year ago. i love manny’s glosses. the only ones i don’t have are the new one, aura, and i believe it’s called enchanted. i want them both so badly. the collection looks stunning, but due to my circumstances, i cannot buy anything until i get my prosthetic. i legit sit here and cry out of pure frustration of not being able to walk again. it’s the only thing i want in this world. my gofundme is still running, but it’s the holidays, and i know people are putting their money into buying gifts for their family. too bad santa doesn’t truly exist. that would’ve been on my wish list along with your tiny marvels palette, the beauty lipstick, and the kitten lip liner. a girl can still dream though.

Both of you show so much class and integrity. The true role models of the beauty community; two individuals who learn and grow, admit their mistakes, their faults and own up to being judgemental but also open to admitting that they were wrong. That is truly rare in a day and age where people try to appear flawless 💕

[@isabelibraga6441]

The best quality a person can have is to recognize when did or said something wrong, thanks for always being so honest mel, and remind me why I adore you so much I really wanna see more looks with this palette, with you using your own brushes

[@robingoblin]

So interesting to think back on the climate at the time-I have no recollection of the tag being negative. The way I remember, we were all hungry for some straight-shooting honesty. Thank you for explaining. And for aligning your sense of pride with the health of your conscience. Tough stuff. I think you handled it really, really well.

[@janmcmahon7358]

Every one of us has done things that we regret. Thank you for reminding us that we are all human and deserve forgiveness. It is also a reminder that we need to forgive others. Thank you so much

[@melthompson2856]

Thank you ❤️❤️❤️

[@lucindas723]

I've only become familiar with Manny the last year or so and from what I've seen he's the first to admit he doesn't like who he was back then and he learnt some very difficult lessons the hard way. I didn't really start watching KZbin until just after the whole dramageddon thing so I don't know terribly much about it but he seems to have taken the knock on the chin and learnt from it. I watched his interview with smokey glow the other day and was pretty impressed with his honesty. I have 2 Lunar Beauty palettes (Greek Goddess & Moon Spell) and I'll likely pick this one up, it's a permanent palette so I'm waiting until I've done all my xmas shopping. He seems to always smash it with packaging, Moon Spell in particular has some of the most impressive packaging I've seen at that price point. His glosses are fantastic...one of the few I've tried that don't irritate me actually. Zaya is his puppy who is the same colour as the liquid lip apparently. Takes a lot of courage to reflect on yourself especially publicly and I'd imagine if anyone can appreciate that it's Manny. Look after yourself Mel ...much love to you 💓💓

[@emyf9197]

Everyone becomes easily influenced in negative way the moment they hang with Jeffree star..

[@veronicavargas6895]

I think Manny is very charming and you can tell the amount of work he put into creating his brand, I don’t know nothing about the drama that involved him, neither do I care, we all humans and nobody is perfect, I’m very happy for his success, the eye look you created it’s so stunning, I can see creating many different looks with that palette, I’m also glad that you are in a better place now, your channel has grown so much, and you are doing great, I always said be kind to others and be kind to yourself. Thank you for this review,

[@tanaziegler]

The details are in EVERY single collection manny/lunar beauty releases. His glosses are so amazing(not only feel amazing but the component OMG!) I would LOVE to see a look from this palette but using YOUR regular everyday brushes.. nothing beats a natural brush application.. but his brushes are def pretty. Either way, your look turned out so beautiful- love the mixed tones!❤

[@BlingyBea]

What a classy lady, your past doesn’t represent who you are today and that you could come on here and talk about it say’s a lot about who you’ve become. Love you Mel and another beautiful look.💖🙏🏻

[@chrissylee325]

Mel, THANK YOU for being so authentic! You are so sweet and strong to post a video and start it by admitting you did something wrong a couple years ago and you were not in a good place at the time. I truly appreciate your honesty and authenticity because it shows your subscribers that we can trust you. I have been going back and forth with the idea of doing KZbin because not only do I love beauty, but I have many health challenges and I feel like so many people suffer alone and have nobody to confide in. I have wanted to be that person for a long time. I am just concerned about the keyboard cowards we all know are out there. I am telling you this because I can tell what a good person you are and that you are right in saying people change. I didn't even know who Manny was 2 years ago. But now, he brightens my day almost as much as you do. I am living in a medical facility at only 37 years old. I have been stuck here for 2 years and during covid we have lost over a dozen of my friends. So its been a very dark and lonely time for me and I turn to KZbin a lot for a distraction. Thank you for all you do and never forget that you are amazing and beautiful inside and out! 💖💯

[@daniawhyte9632]

gorgeous as ever, ive been eyeing this palette. ! Also dont be so hard on yourself. Its how u felt at the time, and honestly, i dont remember getting ill intent from you, and at the time that view of Manny was very common ad for a reason. but its also really big of you make this statement, and i do agree that he has made such a notable change, like you said, ppl change, ppl can change. happy holidays Mel❤❤❤❤

Yes, people do change. Especially when they really get it as to what they are doing wrong in the first place. Also, you absolutely did the right thing.

Two things, first, I'd love to see you use this palette with your collection of brushes. I would find that interesting, just seeing the difference when using natural haired brushes or even some BK Beauty brushes. Second, Wouldn't it be a great idea for Manny to create a set of really good quality brushes? I'm not interested in this set, but I would be very interested in a high quality set. There's so many lower priced, synthetic brushes on the market to choose (some better than others), I just feel this set "let down" this little collection. Full respect to you Mel.
