Black Girl Sunscreen came out with an SPF 50 lip gloss. It's only available in clear, but it's very hydrating and not sticky but seems to stay on the lips.

[@SalenaDean]

Ain’t NOBODY better be talkin to our Shelly with a tone!!! Lol. Love you!

[@joylewullis9538]

I just have to comment now Shelly. Your regular community just adores you. Just ignore those mean people. Haha

[@grannieannie1371]

Hello Shelly, world here. Thanks for the awesome round up of products.

[@Pellow-princess]

The new NYX buttermilk bronzer all have a reddish undertone. I have the lightest shade and it’s by far my absolute favorite bronzer ever, doesn’t make me look like mud at all.

[@michellegray8087]

Hi Shelly. Funny story. I bought the elf no budge shadow (in the pot), in a brown shade. Well, I applied what I thought was my elf putty bronzer in Tan Lines ( similar packaging) and I was wondering why it wasn't the right shade/ consistency. I used the eyeshadow as bronzer, it actually looked pretty good. A little work blending it out. I had a good laugh once I realized what I did. As always, love your videos

[@cindystewart121]

Hi Shelly, you have got to be the most entertaining influencer I know. I just love watching your videos. You always get me laughing too. I learn a lot about products from you but then I get to be entertained and learn about products and how to put certain products on at the same time, what more could I ask for.❤ Anyway don’t ever change Shelly you always brighten my day and I learn a lot from you. Take Care

[@cheriyost2780]

Congratulations on the xl shirt size!

[@user-um9fh2fb2k]

Shelly, you are highly entertaining to watch, and your makeup reviews are spot on.

[@cindymarble1270]

Congrats to you for wearing the XL. I know that’s a great feeling! ❤️

[@joylewullis9538]

I know I keep commenting. I just love your excitement and enthusiasm for your make up. The only bad thing is it makes me want to keep buying things. Haha 29:47

[@user-cs2ij5mo3o]

Tight eye! I love it - bought it as soon as you shared with us. THANK YOU. Bought the eye cream as well!

[@JenJac69]

What ever you are doing keep doing it!! Your joy is palpable!! Love drugstore reviews! Thanks!

[@P_and_You]

Just bought tight eye through your link! ❤love ya

[@WhitneyShaleen]

Love watching you! Awesome favs

[@lindagoodey504]

Always look forward to your videos Shelly!

[@caralinesinclair4371]

I have never noticed a taste in the elf spf lip balm. I love the shade pink me girl matches my lip colour perfectly.

[@marieterhaar6477]

Hey Shelly. Love love your videos!!! I am a foundation match with you. I also love red undertone bronzer. I recently picked up Revolution Beauty bronzer shade 01 cool. It’s a great red undertone. Give it a try!!

[@kimvillasenor3]

Alpine Valley? I lived there in the 80's. Yay for XL 💜

[@joylewullis9538]

I’m soooo happy for you. XL. You’re doing good. Keep up the good work. It’s a battle sometimes. Too Much. Haha. Thanks for your videos. You always make me laugh at some point. A lot

[@janicerainey8687]

So glad I tried the Elf soft glam foundation. I have very fair skin and usually most are too dark and would also give me polka dot pores, but not this one! The fact it's not expensive is also brilliant. Thank you Elf ❤

[@Emily-hh4vo]

May I ask what shade you chose? I looked at them today but couldn't decide between the fair neutral and cool

[@Jackteal1]

Even with discount, the tightened is too expensive for me, but that's for sharing!

[@mistytells]

I’m going to have to get that essence bronzer. I’m olive and everything looks so orange on me. I haven’t tried many red toned bronzers.

[@unposhnails3366]

I just ordered a mini of the TirTir foundation. I’m really curious to give it a try. Congrats on your weight loss. Some day I’ll get the motivation. I don’t like coconut smell either, even though I like eating coconut.

[@ambergerhelper7852]

I ordered a mini a few days ago! I love coconut smell (not the butter popcorn version though), but not coconut- it gets stuck in my teeth. I love coconut flavor though. 🤓

[@karlaharvey2623]

Shelly, thank you as I sure needed a good chuckle and giggle. You’re so funny. Love your personality. Would you Please review UnLeisha Cushion Foundation in the green and or pink container? The green is satin and the pink one is glow. I’ve only seen one review of it several months ago. I’ve got it in my cart to buy, but have yet to make that big purchase of all that I have in my cart. I too am absolutely loving ELF Soft Glam foundation. Blew me away. Enjoy you wkend.

[@lynndecarlo6704]

Thanks Shelley great stuff!!! I need to get a better shade in the tirtir

[@amandaf5664]

I'm so happy for you in your XL shirt! I'm also glad you are still liking the Tir Tir foundation. Like you, I want a good foundation I can rely on for a 12-14 hour wear time so this and the new ELF Soft Glam interest me for my perimenopausal temperamental skin :).

[@lindseypickle3903]

Hey Shelly!!!! Ive been watching your videos for years becuase of ur reviews and we are very similar in shade ☺️ thank you for time and sharing for different products!!

[@tortelliniandalfredo378]

Tighteye is an all time FAVORITE of mine! Thanks for sharing it with us Shelly! ❤

[@makeupbyblowfish7975]

Need to try tirtir 😊 and congrats on the xl shirt! ❤

[@lorainemcgillivray77]

Hi Shelley congratulations on the weight loss and the corresponding XL tee😂. I have lost over two stone in the last year, so this Summer I had to dig out my smaller clothes I hadn’t worn for a few years😂 - somethings I forgot I even owned as it had been quite a while 😂. It translates to going down two trouser sizes for reference. I’m happy about it too. As to favourites I have been enjoying lightweight Summer makeup: Ilia skin tint as my tinted moisturiser Em cosmetics liquid blush Saie liquid blush Glossier stretch concealer Cream or liquid eyeshadow Lip gloss or balm Just lighter weight makeup in general. As you’re probably aware from your time in Ireland Summer is a fairly short season here in Scotland, so we make the most of the lighter weight clothing and makeup while we can😂. Best wishes x

[@valeriek7862]

The new covergirl foundation is so much better for dry skin and like it way more than the new Elf one! try it 🤩

[@susiecross3174]

Beautiful Woman,Thank You!!🥰

[@jay311xoxo]

Bazinga!!!!! Shelly I love your sense of humor girl 😊 when you do the tir tir comparison can you consider trying the silver over the white I saw that they are both glowy/ hydrating but the silver offers more coverage. The white apparently has no coverage! Please consider, thanks !

[@user-fp7du2ko9n]

That maybelline brow freeze also gave me a white cast. And I don't have bangs lol

[@monicaduncan7109]

Ooof good call, I love the lifter glosses but won’t be trying the chilli 🌶️ ones

[@reneklein6049]

Oh no! I stay away from lip plumpers. Ouch! I like the Elf lipgloss with SPF. It's a pretty formula. I have Pink Me Girl too. I have the Tir Tir foundation in my Amazon cart. I really want to try it. I'm not crazy about the Soft Glam. It doesn't seem to last that long on me. I must be in the minority. Congratulations on the weight loss. I can see it in your face. The mascara sounds and looks incredible! Thanks, Shelly. Have a great week!❤❤

[@4fron4]

Thanks for the warning on that chili pepper gloss - yikes!

[@CatKim2]

I love the cow t-shirt! I would wear that! I just got the Missha Glow cushion foundation and wore it for the first time today. It looked beautiful on, but had the very slightest yellow tinge in Shade 21 Vanilla. It was a pretty good match for me. You might like to try it! Congratulations on the weight loss!

[@magm9719]

You go Shelly! Do what makes you happy!! Don’t listen to the chatter!! That’s what I love about you!! And Zeva of course 🥰

[@suzannebladowski9040]

Just wanna let u know I love ur bakuchiol cream and I’m trying magnesium cream and scrub that’s green. I’m serious on my 5th bottle of bakuchiol

[@blondebeauty995]

Exactly Shelly, my plump lifter gloss joined the landfill!

[@micheleg81]

Great video! So happy for you getting into the XL! I understand the excitement! I’m wearing the punk rock kitty shirt you made right now. 😊

[@traceycoffey2613]

My husband and I still call it Deer Creek. I think it will always be Deer Creek. 😂

[@Emily-hh4vo]

I gave up on primers because I could never get combo right but I may try the Elf one. I live in the sauna down in Georgia and makeup is just rarely happening at the moment 😂 I think it could be fun to do a split face of summer/hot sauna weather makeup vs winter/dry!

[@Alexandriandria]

I avoid all plumpers, I’ll keep my little kewpie doll lips! I just cannot, life is hard enuff as it is, I do not need to add to it by setting my lips ablaze

[@Kasey113]

As a sensitive-skinned person, I cannot state strongly enough how much I agree with this.

[@pveronica1972]

I do love me the Polite society mascara it's my current fave ! Thank you for such fun content. Congratulations 🎉 on your sizing down to XL 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 you always look great but happy to see you are feeling great too 😊 ❤

[@ruthjackson4317]

I love the new elf soft glam satin foundation. I wear fair neutral 13.

[@Jackteal1]

What product is best for us older, over 65, to put the eyebrows back that fall out due to "meanOpause"

[@isadelcarpio]

Congrats on the weight loss ! ❤

[@jessicasopolis3904]

For a no make up make up look, try the ELF no budge cream shadow in Sand Dune! Perfect coolish brown that gives just enough amount of impact or, you can use it as a great primer! Oh n that ELF foundation is my current fave at drugstore..hands down! Great minds, my fren! Now i just need that bad ass dragon palette! Love u!

[@ChrissieSM]

I love your tie dye t-shirt! It reminds me of my younger days.

[@theeglamreaper]

Omg, those Maybelline glasses are the worst!! 😂 I bought one, tried it on, and threw it away. Unpleasant is an understatement! 😅

[@tracynorth2328]

I absolutely love the lifter gloss. I enjoy the burn, I guess. It's strange but I love it!

[@StillPooh62]

Based on the review I’m planning to try it! I love a plumping gloss that punches me in the mouth 😂

[@StillPooh62]

@@tracynorth2328 have you tried the Milani Keep It Full Maxxx Lip Plumper? 🔥

[@MDev617]

My favorite part of this video is that you have a primer drawer. Congrats on your health!

[@belindafischer2920]

Thx for the lip plumper warning, I’ll make sure to avoid those! They legit sound scary! 😮

[@MyCleverHandle]

One of the benefits of being older than you - fifteen years older, btw - is that I remember seeing The Grateful Dead at Alpine Valley three times oh-so-many years ago. Plus 40 other shows, some of which I remember better than others. Dave Matthews Band is great, but The Grateful Dead were the OG jam band, beyond equal. My tie-dye and marching bear t-shirts are concert originals, handwashed only in Woolite and never run thru the dryer. Love your enthusiasm, for all things makeup AND for DMB! Thanks for the video Shelly! PS The previous generation of Essence eyeshadow palettes are worthy of adoration - especially Salut Paris and Hallo Berlin.

[@nancym192]

Alpine Valley! It makes me happy to see another WI person here with wonderful Shelly!

[@ElDorado72]

Have you tried city beauty eyelid ointment for droopy lids???

[@mettemather4931]

❤❤❤

[@Jackteal1]

Tirtir hydrating VS new Elf glow foundation..please?

[@44macymoo]

Congratulations on your weight loss journey! I know it’s very difficult. What was Maybelline thinking when they created those pumping glosses? 🤪🐝🐝🐝

[@sandragill714]

Congratulations on your weight loss You're funny today thanks 😂 Your cat is not around today 31:10 today 😮😮❤

[@martypruitt8675]

The red Tirtir didn't work for me. So I got the white one. It's lighter coverage, moisturizing but takes a while to set without powder. I just ordered the silver which looks like it will be in the middle of the two.

[@lisak7997]

💚💚💚

[@barbaranelson5177]

Congrats on the xl shirt , funny you mentioned that I thought to myself that your weight loss must be going great your teeth shirt looks a little big , I have lost 82 pounds on the medication and wow ! It is wonderful

[@Sunshine-un5ww]

I am Mac Nc30 and when i tan i have a reddish tone to my golden olive color too. I heard people complain about the nyx butta bronzers being too reddish? That might be a option too!

[@megcormack681]

💙💙

[@anjeesorge]

Are you from WI originally? No one knows about Alpine Valley but us locals! It really is a great venue that is not utilized often enough.

[@321morlan4]

Do you like the new elf foundation or the mufe hydro glow more, price notwithstanding? Thank you!

[@Katherine-fv3wn]

Not sure if it has anything to do w those comments lol but I heard for the tir tir cushion that if too much product is used and you don’t tap off excess that it tends to oxidize

[@txketochic46]

Have you tried the Polite Society lip Plumping gloss?

[@pnevlud]

Shelly what if you got an empty cushion compact, like TirTir uses and use the new elf foundation inside it? Wonder if that applies as well? Hmmmm. Just curious

[@SarahMcAshan]

So, between the MUFE Hydra glow and the Polite Society foundation, if I were only going to get one, which one do you think?(50, combo/dry to v dry in winter)

[@lmullens75]

I’m loving your hairstyle lately!!! You look like you’ve aged backwards!!!

[@mistytells]

I hope I didn’t come across wrong about the Tirtir. I guess the way people perceive typing can be taken wrong. I guess it depends on who is reading and what they are looking for out of a comment, it can go either way. Depending on the person reading.

[@marionallen2222]

Have u ever done microneedleing? I been thinking about getting a dermaroller … I found a new derm DrAbs he says it’s all you need vitamins A C E Sunscreen face wash lol I got some really cool eyeshadows from MAKE They are so pretty multi-demential the Mario bronzer is so pretty I am loving the Shishedo self refreshing foundation I must give props to the new fenty foundation i got a sample of it and wore it in 100 degrees& 100% humidity!!! My whole body was sweat except my face 🤣🤣🤣 150 perfect shade too! 🤍🤍🤍 bare minerals balm in friendship love not so much on the Clarins new balm it stinks I’m so disappointed I love the lip oil it’s my fav! I got the Elf spf in mauve it’s gorgeous! Similar to my dream gloss

[@belindafischer2920]

Why are people mad over TirTir? 😂 you do you girl, that’s just silly! Anyone can use whatever amount they want to use as you said.

[@marthaboal5818]

ELF Soft Glam Foundation....to dry for me, really !!!!
