Mature Beauty & Health Challenges - Makeup Over 50

Today I'm sharing a health update with you. You may or may not know that I have several challenges to my health. I've been so sporatic lately with my uploads & I wanted you to know why. If you have fibromyalgia, POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome), Portal Vein Thrombosis, Trigeminal Neuralgia, Depression, Anxiey, Familial Tremors or any health issue, you may relate to what I'm sharing. Also, I'm sharing a bit of an update on my -145 pound weight loss.

I link to products this way whenever possible, and it has no bearing on the products I choose to review or recommend because all products can have links attached to them, no matter what they are. I would link the products on Ulta/Sephora/etc website anyway as a means of connecting you to the products, so now it simply offers the potential for a small financial benefit to me, which I greatly appreciate. Feel free to use, or not use, the links provided. And if you decide to use them, thank you so much! Also, if you would like to help a little more, when watching one of my videos please watch it all the way through, that helps to show the YT algorithm that people are interested in my video. If you have time, watch one or two of the ads shown with the video, that's the only way KZbinrs get paid at all, if people watch the ads. So if you have a favorite KZbinr, you now know how you can support them with these little tips. #maturebeauty #healthupdate #makeupover50

Ladies be careful scammers are pretending to be Melissa and saying she is sending you something. Scammers!!!!!

[@MrsMelissaM]

I'm so sorry everyone. PLEASE BE CAUTIOUS!! Thank you for sharing this!

[@donnaturner9445]

Unless she says my name on a video. I won't believe it.

[@glendagarcia6194]

I got that too! These scammers are scum! I just ignored it. Leave Melissa alone! 🥰

[@janreding9384]

I got something yesterday and I just knew it wasn't from you so I just dismissed it shame on them

[@lindasteele6323]

Sounds like they're hitting all of us.

[@ljhoneywell]

I am so glad you gave us an update. Everybody is concerned for your health. I love your videos and how hard you work to find the right products for us at the right price. Keep us posted !❤

[@jennifersturkie4129]

I am so glad you shared. Never feel bad about keeping us posted on your health journey, we care! Love & hugs!❤

[@laurarivera1992]

Sending healing prayer’s🙏🙏🙏 I hope you get better very soon.

[@mitchgoodday8234]

No, share! It makes me feel so less alone in my own struggles. Comparing struggles is not the name of the game. It's about being there for each other because all of our struggles are real and important. I'm going through a struggle with my family, and it is important, even if I have a full belly and have money to cover bills. Thank you for being an open, bright space on KZbin. Sending you a huge hug and prayers.

[@jaxa5719]

It is not moaning, it is sharing important parts of your life, and how it affects you. Those of us who have been around for awhile care about you as a person, not just your insight into beauty. Hope things get better for you soon, so you can enjoy your life more, you deserve it 😊.

[@ingridmiller513]

You're so right ... Everyone is going through something challenging! Even so life on this earth is a gift! 💞

[@christinecrowley2133]

It's wonderful to see your courage thru difficult times.

[@paulamaher1633]

So sad for all of your struggles. You are so brave to share your journey. 🙏 for healing. ❤

[@analuarca9843]

I appreciate your explaining what you are going through I am sure some people can benefit from this. 🙏 for you.

[@janinebowen8318]

Hi Melissa. I am watching your video from a cancer hospital where my younger brother is in his final stages. Checking out KZbin videos during breaks has been my escape valve this week. Your authenticity and openness and empathy are among the reasons I appreciate you. Thank you and best wishes.

[@CandidLy1]

Oh bless you and your brother such a really difficult time, I’m so sorry you both are going through this. Love and 🙏 ❤prayers for you.

[@MrsMelissaM]

Many prayers for you, your brother & whole family. May you get lots of comfort, at such a hard time. I'm so sorry 😞

[@tammyherrera7262]

Love you! Praying for you!🙏❤️

[@shirleypirrone778]

sending prayers, hope things get better for you. You are a light in the world.

[@roxannerutherford3524]

Melissa, I wish you the best and hugs and prayers being sent your way!

[@VSThibodeau]

I watch you because you come across as a genuine person. You use skin care and makeup as a way to put the best face on whatever we start with. Like you, I have a lot of chronic health problems. Some days I can do things, and some days I am lucky to put on fresh pjs for the day. When you talk about the issues you face, I relate to you, because my life is similar in some ways. We worry about our kids and spouses, face bereavement, and feel like crud. I'm sorry for your struggles. Life is hard, and it helps to know we aren't alone in going through hard things. Love and hugs to you and the sisters in the comment section.

[@Melissa55]

Oh Melissa!!! I am so sorry - more sorry than I can say. I haven't been watching KZbin as much, so just now checking up on everyone. You have been through so much and I really appreciate you being open and updating us. Please take care. Sending you all my prayers; Love M

[@MrsMelissaM]

You have your struggles too darling lady. And you're always there for us. You're always in my prayers. Love you so much 💓

[@julieligon8177]

Hi Melissa, Thanks you so much for giving us an update on your health. Sweet friend, you remain in my prayers. It always seems like when health events begin, the roller coaster takes an awfully long time to slow down or stop. You are a voice of encouragement to this community! I've shared my health journey with you in bits & pieces over time, but I truly know what it is like to deal with chronic pain. I hope you will get some answers to some of your issues soon! One thing I would like to share with you, is that my husband passed away on March 9. He entered the hospital on Feb. 12 & came home under hospice care on March 4 & passed on March 9. Had anyone told me on Feb. 12 that I would be sharing this on March 13, I would have told people they were crazy. We were not at all prepared for this devastating loss. Even though I don''t know folks in our community, I feel like I can ask for prayer support during this difficult time. Thank you again, Melissa, for all you do for your viewers!

[@cs-yq5ed]

Sending healing thoughts to you, Melissa. ❤

[@joanneblakely2498]

Sending prayers Melissa. I hope you get thru this with ease. 😘

[@lintej]

Dear Melissa, I am so sorry that you are having to go through all of these things. Praying that you will soon find the relief and peace you seek. I want you to know that I have followed you for several years now and I absolutely love all of your videos. I'm sorry I don't always stop to comment. You have taught me so much about makeup and skincare and introduced me to some fabulous products. Praying the Lord will grant you the comfort you seek. Hugs. 🥰

[@user-wd6pw5xe2t]

Hi , Melissa Thank you for being so real. You're a beautiful person inside and out. I'm sorry to hear of all your health issues. Hoping you are able to start eating better and regain your energy soon! Sending well wishes to you💜

[@BlueJean1019]

God Bless you Melissa, and praying He wraps you in his loving protection and that this blood clot dissolves completely so that the blood flow to your other organs is restored. ❤ ~Regina~

[@beverlynelson599]

Amen! Prayers for you, dear Melissa. 🩷

[@deborahkwiatkowski521]

Melissa I am praying for you and your family. You are my favorite content creator. I wish you better health

[@jennifergreyard28]

Please never question yourself about sharing your health updates. You may never know how many lives that you may change. I love how you choose to use your platform. Sending well wishes and a big hug

[@toniagarcia2885]

Beb I am so sorry to hear about your health problems . I actually went away from watching beauty videos for more than 2 years because of health issues. My health sneaked up on me, but I thank god everyday for another day of life. You don't worry about how sporadic your videos are, you worry about you first. We will be here whenever you are feeling up to making videos. God bless you and may he always be watching over you.

[@latherandlace]

Your health always comes first, and I feel so badly that you are going through this. I'm praying for you, Melissa. ❤

[@jillhathaway3528]

Sending hugs and prayers to you Melissa. God Bless you ❤

[@GlowWithGlo]

I've watched you for 5 years now. You are my favorite beauty channel and I adore you. I appreciate you so much and do worry. I pray that the doctors can fix that blood clot. You are always in my thoughts and prayers. I brag about you all the time in my makeup videos. God bless you, Melissa

[@deedeemarie]

Thank you for sharing…sending healing prayers. Boy, you never know who’s suffering more than you, I’m so sorry…I just can’t imagine what you’re going through.❤

[@Melburky]

I have watched you from the beginning and you look great and I will keep you in my prayers! 🙏🙏🦋 Stay strong!

[@reneeh02]

Sending lots of love and prayers to you Melissa!❤🙏🌷

[@rebekah3998]

Sending prayers your way for answers and healing!

[@tc432]

You're not alone. We will stand by you because you have become our friend!

[@trinichandy3049]

Praying for you Melissa for the doctor to resolve your clot. Thanks for sharing ❤

[@RobertaBriffa]

You're one of my very favourite KZbinrs Melissa. I'm in my mid 40s and I too struggle with chronic health issues. It can get very lonely. Sending you lots of love and hugs. Thanks for sharing this video. Don't worry about not posting regularly. We appreciate every one of them and we appreciate you. Take care ❤️

[@sueellenb8353]

None of your real friends on here would ever Judge you for coming on here saying ‘ugh today is a pain day so here we go’ or however you say it. We adore you. Thank you for the update. Prayers for you and all you are going through. Hugs and love.

[@LoriEdwards10]

Never worry about feeling that you come on here and say "poor me" because it doesnt sound like that at all. You share, not only the information about beauty but also your life which includes health. We are your online friends and we do care xo

[@dsaylor36]

Holy freakin cow. Bless your sweet heart😢. #1 I sympathize with you with the Fibromyalgia- it turned my life upside down. The portal vein clot issue sounds terrible. The POTS is not a cakewalk either. You have every right to say youre in pain. You are a beautiful graceful survivor. It is a struggle to keep going sometimes but we do have the hope of better days . You can be an advocate for chronic pain too because you are inspiring.

[@JourneywithSuzie]

I'll continue to pray for you. I found your channel in 2020 (on one of my other youtube channels) and know of the struggles you've gone through. I pray that you find relief very soon. Don't worry about sharing with us. People that genuinely care for you know you'd never do so for a negative reason. Like my husband tells me when I try not to complain of my back pain, because I know he suffers worse than I do, "my level of pain doesn't cancel out you having pain and you shouldn't be worried to voice that". Also, don't overwork yourself, we understand. You're health is most important.

[@juliepiquette173]

I’m sorry for all your health issues. Make sure you take care of yourself first. Praying you feel better soon. 💐🌼

[@LenaSheppard]

Thanks for sharing this update. Your struggles matter, you matter. We love you. I appreciate you so, so much for being with us !

[@harrietlovejoy3424]

I’m sorry you’re dealing with this. I’m 61 and dealing with health issues myself. It’s frustrating and exhausting. Thank you for your insightful videos, I always learn something from you.

[@jackiedavis6398]

I have followed you a long time, since before your weight loss surgery. You have been thru many trials and always make it thru. You are a beautiful strong woman and by God's good grace you will make it thru again.

[@sunieapen4538]

Keeping you in my prayers Melissa❤

[@LB-qy1nr]

Thank you for the update on your health. I know sharing isn't always easy, but we can support and pray for you specifically when we know what you're dealing with. Post when you can. We'll be watching!

[@cmeyummy]

Oh Melissa, I appreciate you. I adore you. You are such a wonderful human. Thank you for sharing…💜🩶🤍💜🩶

I'm glad you gave us an update. The worse is not knowing. I hope and pray 🙏 things get better for you. We are here to support you dear Mrs. Melissa.

[@sandradix3974]

I wish you much good health!

[@Alice-fr1ef]

I remember when the blood clot was first discovered and you told us about the medication you would be on for a year. I want you to know that prayers and blessings go out to you from us each day. Take care of yourself and please know that we are here for you and we love you and your videos. I always hope you are feeling well but we know it is no walk in the park so don't worry about us. We will be here. Get the rest you need and please do not over do anything. Keep in mind we have an awesome God Who loves us and is with us always.💗💕💜💜💜💜🌹🌺🌸💐🙏

[@godsgirl0019]

Hi Melissa! I lost my beautiful Mom the day after Christmas and my sister made the whole ordeal a nightmare. It really set me back on my health journey. I too have Fibro/cfs and three autoimmune disorders. But lately I’m really struggling. Seeing docs to figure it out. Thank you for talking about your own struggles b/c it encourages me. Praying for you!

[@MrsMelissaM]

I'm so very sorry about your mom. Losing a parent at any age is devastating 😢

[@melaniegorniak3803]

I’m sending you my love and healing I unfortunately completely understand what it’s like to have so many medical problems that keep stacking up against, it feels like it’s never ending that things are never going to calm down and stabilize to be in a happy medium. I truly hope that things get better sooner rather than later again send all my love positivity and healing to you .

Dear Melissa, words do not seem enough to say just how brave you are but that's all I have to use. You were my first subscription and I have followed you ever since. Your empathy to us all is boundless. No one should have to deal with so many health issues as you do, I do emphasise with you and pray everything will be quickly resolved and you can begin to feel better soon. You are in my prayers always. Thank you for keeping us informed. We all worry about you. With Love always xxxx💖💖💖

Melissa, I teared up listening to your story. I know that you have struggled so much, and I do care about you. I, too, have issues. Had neck and back surgery, losing muscle strength, and fibromyalgia along with depression and anxiety. I think they all go together. I admire that you get up, get ready for the day, and look your best, which is beautiful! You have inspired me not only to try new products but most of all you can't give up ❤ please talk to us we are your friends and we love you ❤️. Thank you for all that you have done for me. I hope the major issues that you are dealing with will be over soon. You are one beautiful lady inside and out ❤XOXO Cheryl 😘

❤🌷🌷🙏🙏 Hello Melissa 😪, You have really had bad news passed to you. I am so sorry to hear, I was praying the blood clot and this hepatic port would rectify the total issue from November. I hope you will get TWO Different M.D. evaluations about the vascular issue and be totally blessed by a Godly surgeon. You deserve it. You are a blessing for us on KZbin, your research, kindness, and honesty we do appreciate so much💯. I just told a cute KZbin lady to watch your channel about great skin care, the K beauty ( Korean)line of products. Her name is rxstrmom : ( rock star mom) this past Saturday.
