I was influenced to buy that Chanel egg hand cream, as well. Used it up, went straight back to my O'Keeffe's Working Hands. 😅

[@LuxPurselove]

Sometimes we just fall for the hype!

[@thehandbaghousewife]

I love this video - thanks so much Melinda!❤

[@LuxPurselove]

Glad you enjoyed it! And I would love to see you do the tag! Xoxo

[@KC4DT]

Love your content, Melinda as you're always so genuine and authentic. Great video!

Thank you so much!

[@savvylynn3699]

I used to really like Shea but she is a non stop Amazon link now :( Great video! I appreciate your honesty!

[@LuxPurselove]

She does a lot of Amazon. Thank you so much!

[@candissweetloveforlv]

Great video! I liked that you showed a variety of things that influenced you. I was laughing so hard whhe you chunked those jeans across the room! With your large channel I can only I gains how many companies reach out to you a day, bc even at where I’m at I get tons! I rarely show anything and I never link products! Only if I shown them and liked them! Thank you for tagging me! I’m gonna do this one and do other things than bags, like I did last time! TFS 💞💞💞💞

Thank you! Yes you know how many emails we get daily it is just crazy. I can't wait to see what you were influenced to buy! Xoxo

@@LuxPurselove yess, things that don’t apply to my channel and wouldn’t even want to make a video over anyway! I’ve had some good ones though! I’m the same, if I don’t really believe in the products then I’m not putting it out there and pretending I do for my viewers to possibly go off and buy something that’s not worth their money! Nope! Thanks, I’ll be doing it soon! ☺️

[@mindbodysoul8214]

Awesome video & I loveLoveLOVE your honesty.... talk about keeping it 💯?!😂 You know Melinda, you are so right, because there was a time I believed all YT influencers kept all the clothes they shared. I now know better. I will add though, there are some who do make it very clear which pieces they will keep and which will be returned.... I wish ALL did. Thanks for all the tips you shared with us.💛

[@LuxPurselove]

Thank you! I really wish they would say they what they keep and send back too that would be so helpful. Perhaps something is too long for them but would work on me etc. I don't think they would lose a sale by being honest. But I haven't found any that disclose that yet. Xoxo

[@AmberAshleigh35]

Omg I just adore your personality and your honesty ❤ Great video! Thanks for tagging me!

[@LuxPurselove]

Thank you so much Amber! I would love to see your influenced purchases! Xoxo

[@fabulousirene]

Haha, what a great video. I have so many items were influenced by other KZbin. Rodeo is one of them too. I bought so many Chanel and Dior holiday packages those years and a lot of them I haven’t touched yet. Thank you so much for sharing Melinda 💕

[@LuxPurselove]

Thanks Irene! I haven't ever used the holiday pouches and some of the products I haven't either. Have a great weekend! Xoxo

[@ruthmclean5116]

You are refreshingly honest Melinda! I am loving your content! That Burberry cardigan is to die for and looks fabulous on you! 🙌🏼

[@LuxPurselove]

Thank you so much!

[@cquinnth]

I was influenced to buy that Chanel hand cream when I saw it on your channel. Ha ha! I never finished the container and it has disappeared. No loss, but it did look nice in your what’s in my bag segments. 😊

[@LuxPurselove]

Oh no! I forgot I ever showed that, it is a pretty container! :)

[@pamchamberlin6703]

You’ve influenced me to try that l’Occitane cream for my gnarly hands. Thanks!

[@LuxPurselove]

Hope you like it! It is a miracle cream for me!

[@SnowyTheGachaShrimp2]

Thank for being so honest in your reviews. ❤

[@LuxPurselove]

Always! Thanks for watching! :)

[@notablackclassicflap4416]

Melinda, you influenced me to buy the now discontinued Longchamp travel tote and the tarnish free jewelry box. Love both of them! So glad you're back on youtube.❤

[@LuxPurselove]

So glad you love both! Thank you!

[@taral8247]

I appreciate your channel. I watch you, Amber and Meredith for the most part (demographic seems close- age family life Ect are similar) and find you all most enjoyable and relatable. I see the honesty and that’s why I continue to watch.thanks!

[@LuxPurselove]

Thank you so much!

[@medinasod33]

I love your channel! Something you influenced me to purchased and I have now loved for years, is the Vaseline pink champagne lip balm. I know I can trust your opinions so I really hope you can reach your goal of 30,000 subscribers. You deserve it!

[@LuxPurselove]

Thank you so much! I love vaseline still too!

[@danafensterman7682]

agreed on the nyx glosses. Those are the best!!

[@DaylesAddiction]

You’re so right the volume of recommendations and the experience of the YTer with the products might just be one time for a video integration… as we know 💁🏻‍♀️. Even things I’ve loved and used over and over yet people have shared haven’t worked for them (makeup, bags, shoes), it’s like anything just research and hope for the best 🤣

[@LuxPurselove]

That is so true, I can really love something and you can equally find that item doesn't work for you. Overall not too many bad mistakes thankfully!

[@tailindsay2433]

I saw in your video the NYX lipglosses. I brought a set a 3 for Christmas gifts for my daughter and friends, and we all love them. I appreciate your honesty in all the products you recommend.

[@LuxPurselove]

So glad everyone liked them! I think they are so much better than a lot of the designer brands ones.

[@Handbaglvoer]

😂😂 the way how you threw that jeans away.

[@LuxPurselove]

Soooo stinky lol!

[@kklvoescc]

There are so many things that I got influenced to buy. The ones that worked I still have. Everything else I usually let go super quick. My worst was the baccarat rouge perfume. At least I got a small bottle. 😅 Great video! ❤❤❤

[@LuxPurselove]

Thank you! Oh I was so tempted by that and a Tom Ford fragrance but thankfully I tried them on in store. Everyone raves about that baccarat rouge! Xoxo

[@tashahartman38]

Oh Melinda the things I’ve been influenced to buy 😂😂. I was influenced to buy that Chanel lotion and I did not like it at all but I purchased the Dior one and I love it. I use that tarte brush and it’s the only one I use now. It’s soooo good. Your foundation just looks amazing using that brush in my opinion. You influenced me to finally get the loop bag. I’ve seen so many unbox it and I was hesitant but liked it. Then you purchased it and I know you’re a little picky and honest so when you said you love it I knew then it was a good bag ❤❤. Sometimes being influenced is good but sometimes not 😬😬.

[@LuxPurselove]

That brush is the best! I hope you are loving the Loop, I think it is such a great bag. I have been scared to try the Dior lotion after the Chanel experience, glad to know it is good! Xoxo

[@joanarubit7556]

I died of laughter when you threw the jeans across the room 😂

[@LuxPurselove]

They smelled sooooo bad lol!

[@Jessiestyle]

LMAO those jeans!!! 😂 what a disaster! Agree; the Chanel handcream isnt the best, moisturising wise...but the packaging is adorable... Thanks for tagging me!! Cant wait to make a video🌺🌺🌺

[@JoleeSO]

I get a sample size when I replace a lippy or eyebrow pencil and mix it with Palmer’s coconut lotion …just to give it the perfume❤😂

[@LuxPurselove]

@Jessiestyle Those were a hot mess! Can't wait to see your video! Xoxo

[@cassielynn5563]

Can we talk about how much bling your right hand ring is giving!!! Just wow! 😍😍

[@LuxPurselove]

😊 thanks!

[@lindasalera5650]

My husband bought me the Cartier love collection, i own the hoop and diamond love earrings, but you influenced me to buy the love stud earrings! Glad i did, no regrets!🤣

[@LuxPurselove]

I love those, so happy you do too!

[@SkinCareGal0303]

Love the video and your honesty. I’m an LV girl all the way and hobo bags are my favorite. With all the unboxings, I just knew the LV Loop Hobo was my bag! Well, it wasn’t. Ordered it on line, received it, tried it on, and no, not for me. Took it back to the store the next day. Have tried it on in stores several times since, but can’t make it work for me.

[@LuxPurselove]

Thank you! I totally get that and I am glad you returned it. There have been bags like that for me too where I keep trying them on and they just don't work out.

[@JoleeSO]

I adore that cardigan…but my style is not going to allow it in my wardrobe. I would love some pants in that pattern though…with my doc martens

[@AnUrbanGypsy]

I have recently been influenced (Amber Ashleigh) to buy the Chanel Chance, limited edition, mini hand cream set and they smell beautiful… but it’s a very thin formula and it isn’t particularly moisturising. If the regular one is like that, I’m not surprised you didn’t repurchase! On the plus side, you and Ada Solly aided my purchase of the Alma BB which I love. 😊

[@LuxPurselove]

I bet those smell really good, I like the perfume. The Alma BB is such a great bag, so glad you love it!

[@JoleeSO]

lol! The hand cream! I get my hand cream from Chanel at the counter in a free gift container when I replace one of the three items that I use from Chanel ❤

[@LuxPurselove]

That's great!

[@JoleeSO]

Exactly❤ I have one silly Rodeo to remind me that Hermes is crazy casual and a vintage coach will give me good leather and the same high🎉

[@LuxPurselove]

So true!

[@HandbagDiva]

We have a lot of the same bags😂 so far this year you influenced me to buy the pink Lady Dior & I also just bought the Gucci bag you just shared. Haven’t used it yet but I’m sure I’ll love it. Wow I’m so surprised you hate the mini rectangle. I have a few but my favourite is black caviar with edge stitching & silver hardware. I have to say it’s one of my favourite bags. I’m 5’8” so it’s not often a bag is long enough for me to wear crossbody, so I think that’s one of the reasons I love them so much.

[@LuxPurselove]

Those are such beautiful bags, I hope you love them! That is awesome the Chanel works out for you. I just found it too small for my liking.

[@maris5508]

I find this type of videos very helpful. I have really enjoyed the content on your latest videos. I absolutely love Dr. Dray as well. I have been influenced to try various skin care products by her. I've been influenced to buy a several things thru KZbin. I think most of my experiences have been positive, but I have learned to wait a while before making any decisions, to do my own research on the products, and to be honest with myself on how these things may fit into my current life style. I have noticed that there are many items (especially handbags) that if I wait until the hype is over to purchase it, my interest wears off. The one thing that I know for sure that I was influenced to buy, and that I quickly learned that it did not work for me was the mini bag trend.

[@LuxPurselove]

Thank you! I really enjoy her channel too. I hate the mini bag trend, I learned that lesson quickly too!

[@kaylheecarroll3186]

Lol 😆 when you threw the jeans 👖 🤣 😂 ❤!!

[@LuxPurselove]

Soooo stinky lol!

[@kaylheecarroll3186]

@@LuxPurselove yeah!

[@jo_overjoyeod]

the tip of looking at who is depending on YT for income is very useful. i’ve made a couple of disappointing purchases recommended by such influencers and since then been very careful to avoid these things. some people would market anything.

[@LuxPurselove]

Yes they really will, I have seen some strange things promoted.

[@oliviamendoza2773]

Thank you 😊

[@fsechzer]

Melinda, you just saved me a bunch of money 😃I was so close to buying Chanel mini records- was waiting for the right color because every KZbinr said it’s not much smaller than Classic Medium double flap. Laroch-Posay double repair moisturizer w/SPF 30 doesn’t work for me at all because it’s piling. What influencers wear in a mod shot is not always the same as in their links. I can’t believe they would be wearing 100% polyester clothes while owning 10 Birkins and Kelly’s. I am yet to find one piece of clothing ( made from natural fibers and good quality) that I would buy from these links.

[@LuxPurselove]

Glad to save you money! Pilling is the worst with sunscreen, I have had that happen while out and had no idea I had white streaks everywhere! I haven't tried the double repair one just the clear skin one and it doesn't do that, but my fave is the Cetaphil. Ooooh I didn't know they wore different clothes in mod shots vs the links! That's not cool and I agree on the polyester.

[@maryannbecker9666]

I love your videos and have been watching Dr. Dray for years and trust her!

[@LuxPurselove]

Thank you! I really enjoy her channel.

[@sharhamby242]

Ty I was going to purchase the lotion. I have the tube and I like it

[@LuxPurselove]

Hope you like it!

[@lolipena8051]

i used the cetaphil spf moisturizer however my eyes sweat and then it makes my eyes tear up. i try to pat very little over my eyelids but after 8hrs or more it still happens. does the same happen to you? or do you not put it on your eyelids?

[@LuxPurselove]

I have never put sunscreen on my eyelids. My skin is so sensitive I think that would sting. I always wear sunglasses at all times outside unless it is raining and the added benefit to that is I have zero macular degeneration too!

[@dianeb2349]

Love this video Melinda, thank you! Question please, what size reissue did you have? You may have just saved my bank account some $$$

[@LuxPurselove]

Thank you! It was the 226/Jumbo size. The bag was much lighter than the Jumbo but I would carry the Jumbo any day over those all metal chain straps.

[@jbbb7418]

It sounds awful! Thank you!

[@seagreen2034]

OMG, the smelly jeans. I had a sweater like that - washed it twice & could not get the chemical smell out. It went in the dumpster. I was influenced to by you to buy Feetures socks. I had the same issue with Adidas slipping off my heels & those socks fixed them.

[@LuxPurselove]

It is just the worst smell! What do these companies do to the clothes??? So glad you like the socks! I love those and the Lululemon ones and threw everything else away.

[@Buttercookiesssss]

I realise full time Influencers can't be trusted 😂 they just recommend everything bc they have to. Bad influence much? Lolz. Thank you for this video Melinda!

[@SmallTownGirlWendy]

I’m not easily influenced either but I did fall victim to the LV monogram 6 ring key holder. I hate it! It won’t close with my regular keys and the Porsche key(s) and I’m not about to leave it hanging out the top. I do however love my LV Empreinte key pouch. I use it as a wallet and the keys don’t fit in it either 🤣 but I like them all dangling on the outside and I could care less that their loose in my handbag. Fun video btw. 🙂

[@LuxPurselove]

Those Porsche keys are huge! I always have one hanging out of a LV key pouch too. I regret selling my emprienite one. Thanks Wendy! :)

[@LuxPurselove]

It is NYX Butter Gloss.

[@heidi.m_1111]

Every time I see cute coloured rodeos I want one … but I’m not sure they would suit my style. A good reminder for me to be cautious when considering those (and probably best to avoid purchasing online if I don’t know how it will work in person). Was it Dayle that said it’s okay to love something without having to buy it?

[@LuxPurselove]

I am not sure if she said that but that is very true!

[@cindybissonnette437]

Did you dislike the Chanel mini because of the leather or because of the bag itself?

[@LuxPurselove]

Both. It is too small for me and I hate their lambskin.

[@JoleeSO]

I can’t do a hobo in canvas, but I’ll take a speedy any day❤

[@blingybacon]

Hi, the correct pronouciation of the Rodéo is Ro-day-oh (in French) because of the é. Hermès is Air-mez, because the H is silent and the è creates the mez sound.

[@LuxPurselove]

Ah ha! That makes sense now! I have been saying it the American way. Thank you!

[@CleanChic]

Hahaha I love shea. But when I bought the amazon watch she raved. I just nope. Come on. Then I just donated the watch. Some influencers are very good in picking affordable but good quality items. Some umm, not really. Just doing QVC kinda thing. Just try to sell the items 😁

[@LuxPurselove]

LOL at the QVC kinda thing. It is so very true, it is hit and miss when that is all someone does is recommend things.

[@JerushaCouture]

Ahhhhhhh hahaha 😂 I’m laughing at how funny that was when you just threw the jeans out of the camera !! Babe I cannot even imagine how disgusting they smell. I have been sent so many different items of clothes that I wouldn’t even take out of the packet because I could smell them let alone show them to Subbies to buy you must be kidding.!!
