WEAR TEST NOTES ❤ (because it didn't fit in the description box haha): Ami Cole Mascara: I was only able to wear this for a few hours, but there was zero signs of smudging or flaking!! It usually takes me a few days to solidify my opinion on mascaras, but so far I'm VERY hopeful & excited about this one!!! Half Magic Eye Gems: These stayed on beautifully & I really appreciated how comfortable they are on the eyes!! In the past when I’ve applied gemstones with lash glue, my eyes get really irritated after a few hours. My eyes weren’t bothered with these!! I’m so happy!! Other Thoughts: The lip oil didn’t have major staying power, but I’m still obsessed with the finish!! I think the oil control primer made me more oily (as expected, that’s just how my skin is), but other than that, the complexion looked really nice & healthy!! Overall I had a good makeup day :) Hope that helps!! xoxo

Can't wait to hear more about hopefully a longer wear test for the A. Cole mascara! I always trust YOU when it comes to mascara. I eventually learned to love the thrive mascara [ my tube in the beginning was to wet but then became just right- took a month] but I am looking for something even better! My lashes then to clump with thrive vs others esp at the tip. And don't brush out well but when it was wet it was too wet lol. I had it in its perfect spot for like two months. I think I need another bottle! But now much more interested in T28 and Cole.

Yes, Merle Norman has been around a long time. I remember when my two brothers and I bought our mom a Merle Norman makeover for her birthday one year. Then I delivered one of her fanciest dresses and pair of shoes to change into at the studio (yes, I prearranged this!), and we all got into a rented limo and took her to a fabulous dinner down in Newport Beach, a real treat for all of us! Great memories! And I still have the beautiful loose powder jar container from the products we let her select and we bought for her. The first loose powder I ever saw, with a fine silk screen filter mesh on top of the product. She looked wonderful, and it's my happiest memory ever of her! I still buy Merle Norman's eyeshadows from time to time. They have a gorgeous velvety sheen that reminds me of Chanel (I do have a few high end products, and these shadows are my favorites), but they're a little less expensive. Thank you Allie for the Merle Norman reminder!

Too funny about Merle Norman! Been around forever (I’m 63 and it was an established brand, with stand alone stores all over the country). My entire drill went there for parade make up. But the best story is that when I went to college, my mom bought a gift set and shipped it to me. It had a sold plastic three-compartment tray, which arrived chipped on one handle but I kept it. I still have it and use it daily. Except for lipsticks, lip lines and eye pencils, all cosmetics need to fit in this tray. (This keeps me from over buying.) I know I’ll use this tray all my life. It’s a sweet memory. And those are my Merle Norman stories.

I haven't tried the Static nails myself, although I'm definitely curious, but I think you should go down a size (width) for a more natural look. I've had really good luck with the Kiss Nails Impress Color sets. They always recommend going a size down rather than a size up for a more natural look. I think the Static nails last longer but I like the convenience of the Impress Color version (You don't have to apply glue). If you apply them well, they'll last for about a week. If one pops off, there are extras. People always think they're real. That said, if you have nice nails to begin with you don't need the faux nails. My nails are short and brittle so I need the extra help. Especially for a special occasion.

Just for some common knowledge but you may be able to repair the eyebrow powder using rubbing alcohol. Douse it with alcohol turn in into a thick paste and smooth it back out. Let the compact sit for 24 hours or more to let the alcohol evaporate, buff the top layer out gently and use it again. This trick has saved so many broken powder compacts :)

@@reesehood571 That is correct. Brands have to pay to be entered. As a rule of thumb, what ever brands are routinely advertised in the magazine are the brands that are going to be featured as the “winners”. This is how it works for awards shows in general. For example the show “Emily in Paris” won an award because the producers paid for the judges to go to Paris and have a good time. That’s why people were upset when this news came out because it was an unfair win.

Static Nails also sells nail polish and they're fantastic!! I’ve used their polish every week to 10 days for 2 yrs now. Honestly, it's the best polish I've ever used by far! At first I thought it was awfully expensive for the tiny bottles that arrived, but don't let their size fool you, the shape actually allows you to use every drop instead of using half the bottle & having to through the rest away in frustration, because you can't easily reach the polish at the bottom, so you have to do the whole tilt the bottle exercise while trying to hurry to smooth out & finish your nail multiply that by 10 & the add to that, that all that frustration & it chips in the first 24 to 48 hrs & you have to do it all again!😩 Not the case with Static Nails! They solved that problem, you can actually get every single drop of polish & with their base & top coat, my manicure lasts a full 7 - 10 days!🎊 I'm happy to pay a little more money for the ease of use & being able to use everything I'm paying good money for. They have gorgeous colors I especially love Milky Pink on my skin tone, but I truly love them all. It's the only polish I buy anymore. It's well worth the money.

Oh, Allie... You're making me feel so old. Merle Norman has been around for SO long. Back in the 1980s, it was THE high-end makeup store to visit at the mall. (Back then, we all hung out at the mall.) Drugstore brands were far more limited, and department store high-end brands were too pricey. Makeup junkie teenagers like myself could go to the Merle Norman store and get a completely makeover as long as the store wasn't too busy. I still remember the day I'd saved up enough allowance money to actually purchase my first Merle Normal cosmetic product. It's nice to see that they're still around, and they're getting some love.

Such a pretty look, Allie!! Especially the gems. I wonder if being 60 makes me too old. Lol I've really enjoyed this. Thanks so much ❤️ I always stay to the end!

Merle Norman has been around forever! They have stores here in TN. My grandmother shopped there all the time and would have them do my makeup when I was little. I actually worked at one for a few weeks. 🙃

I was curious and looked it up. Google says they were established in 1931.

Yes, I used to use NARS, but its not good for mature skin. Best on flawless skin like you.

OOooo on the brow powder note, I think it might be a good video idea to talk about different products you've discovered through the Allure Best of Beauty videos that still stick in your routine!

Merle Norman has been around for a long time. I remember going to Merle Norman with my granny back in the 70s. They have their own stores so that’s probably why a lot of the younger generation hasn’t heard of them (I am 51).

I really enjoy watching this video! btw if you like a sugar body scrub maybe you should try from Soap&Glory, the Smoothie Breakfast Scrub one. I fell in love at the first time use it.

To be honest I find static nails to be overhyped! I don’t think the quality or lasting power is great and personally I’ve had better luck with kiss press ons for like $6. Static’s glue is supposed to be great and healthier for your nails and maybe the latter is true, but mine always came off after a few days compared to multiple weeks for kiss nails. Just my experience!

I'm in Kansas and there are Merle Norman stores all over. I've always wondered why it is never talked about because it is actually really good. Been around for decades!

Your eye shape is amazing! I wish mine looked like yours! And the mascara reminds me of the UD Lash Freak. I know the wand on that one is goofy, but it looks great on!
