Thank you so much for this. It will help me declutter. I’m 79 yo and almost as cute as you ❤

[@MrsMelissaM]

I'm so happy you liked it ☺️

[@tamarapace3036]

The brush alternatives are amazing and well timed for me. You look like you are feeling much better, Melissa. It is very nice to see that sparkle in your eyes. I mean no disrespect by this comment, only love and admiration. I've been praying for you, and I hope my prayers are being answered. Have a great weekend, and thank you for all the research that was done for this video 💖

[@MrsMelissaM]

Thank you so much Tamara! That's so very sweet of you.

[@TheFlip_Side]

I love that you are doing brushes as well. I love my makeup brushes and like having extras as I don’t want to wash my brushes weekly.

[@MrsMelissaM]

Me either!

[@tovahweiner2173]

Sweet Melissa... So good seeing you and your flippy hair 🤗 Have you been feeling good...I really hope🙏 This video talking about the brushes is so helpful as usual😍 Take good care my friend💞💕

[@MrsMelissaM]

Yes doing much better! Thank you Tovah!

[@MusicLover-sb7mo]

No need to apologize for dirty brushes. We are all guilty! Maybe someone will invent an automatic brush washer - lol. I prefer powder blushes as well. They are just a softer airbrushed look on my skin. I think I have better control and Essence does make beautiful formulas!

[@sandybowers5085]

Whoever comes up with a machine washer for makeup brushes is going to be a millionaire!!!

[@MrsMelissaM]

That would be genius!

[@andreavaughn854]

Ulta's brushes are really nice.

[@beckigeiger2773]

I absolutely love the UD naked but then have fallen head over heels for the Stone Cold Fox Pallet. SO perfect for my fair cool skin. Loved the video as always.

BK beauty brushes are overhyped and overpriced. There are cheaper alternatives among many brands.

[@stuartpierce121]

Wonderful video! Thanks Melissa Jennifer 😊

[@MrsMelissaM]

You are so welcome my friend 🧡

[@debracole6587]

Thanks for these reviews. Love Colour Pop makeup. Beautiful look for you as well

[@MrsMelissaM]

Thank you so much!

[@chantelle5975]

I bought into the hype about BK brushes that all influencers push so much one way or another….so ended up buying the foundation brush….well, it’s only good enough for my bronzer…nothing beats my Vella yue angled powder foundation brush from amazon…it costs $7 and it’s simply the best. I have many high end foundation brushes but I only use my cheapest one from Amazon! Please try it …I think it will go viral 😂.

[@kathleenp3135]

Do you recommend any other Vella brushes?

[@chantelle5975]

@@kathleenp3135 yes, the blush brush and the powder brushes are lovely too, then at one point they had a white one in the shape of a rose and it’s my go to for my powders. They are so soft, beautifully made, they truly outperform all my high end ones….and I have many….

[@chantelle5975]

@@kathleenp3135yes, the blush and the powder brush…the correct spelling is Vela Yue, I responded to your comment earlier but for some reason it didn’t appear..

[@MrsMelissaM]

Thanks so much for the recommendation Chantelle. I'll definitely look them up.

[@remysplace]

Hi, thanks for the great video! Can you please tell me what eyeshadows you’re wearing? Thanks again❣️

I purchased some BK beauty brushes and I wasn't impressed. I ended up buying the Anisa brushes and they are the bomb!!

[@MrsMelissaM]

Oh wow! I need to try those now. Thank you

[@debracole6587]

Thanks for your comments/reviews on all these products and giving us dupes for the high endones. I wish Çànada had the same prices as the US - for example the IT Cosmetics brush is $50 Çànadian. PLEASE excuse the French accènts - for some reason my PC has decided to use them. I have tried everything and nothing helps.

[@MrsMelissaM]

Hi Debra. It's crazy the prices they charge in Canada.

[@annastory349]

I think this might be one of my favourite videos of yours! Such good information. Thanks so much.

[@MrsMelissaM]

Wow, thank you Anna!

[@lauracuevas8948]

I love this video of dupes, makeup, and brushes. It is helpful, especially with the brushes. Im always looking for a comparable brush for the pricier ones. Thank you MrsMelissa! You are so special and one of my fave Creators. You are so very creative with your content.❤

[@MrsMelissaM]

That means so much to me Laura. Thank you 😊

[@karenweinberg5585]

Good video. I have some elf brushes, but when BK has a 30% off and just caught a special 50% off a select couple of brushes i treated myself.

[@leaj3799]

I caught that sale too and glad I did. I had a few BK Beauty brushes and the ones I liked best were not the ones I expected to. I think their face brushes (of the ones I’ve tried) are superb. I have been waiting for a number of years to get a deal on the red handled original travel set and the 50% off sale convinced me to pull the trigger. I’ve only tested each brush out once so far but I’m liking the set overall. I still think I prefer the face brushes to the eye brushes but that’s a me thing I’m sure. I feel the opposite way about Sigma where I’ve had more luck with eye brushes although nothing is awful just a preference for what works on my face. That said, I’m all for inexpensive dupes or drug store brushes like Real Techniques, especially when starting out in makeup to learn what you like or to have spares. I think value is key. Brushes you use and wash a lot, go for high end quality that lasts; brushes you use less or don’t need as much scrubbing, cheaper version work just fine. Learned all this the hard way.

[@MrsMelissaM]

I saw that sale & was so excited. I think you'll love them.

[@MrsMelissaM]

Great tips!

[@deborahbinnie5652]

Thanks for the great brush alternatives.. I do own a few BK brushes but getting the whole line is not doable. Great video, as usual.

[@MrsMelissaM]

Glad it was helpful!

[@eileenmastropola8551]

Love a good alternative. Thanks

[@dawnr9158]

Hi Melissa, I think I'm getting that shirt! I love it! I actually had that dual ended Ulta brush in my cart, but had to edit a little. 🤣

[@MrsMelissaM]

It's such a cute jacket. I hope you like it when it comes.

[@kathleendudek2955]

Fantastic video! Do you have a dupe for the ABH Modern Renaissance palette?

[@MrsMelissaM]

I saw one on Amazon but I don't own it so I don't know if the quality is good.

[@cusebaby10]

Hi Melissa! As always I absolutely loved this video! You help me out so much and it is greatly appreciated! I'm on a budget, especially in this economy and living in NY. Your comparisons are on the money! I like how you incorporated the brushes too, bc they're equally important! I also like when you tell us which one you prefer and performs the best. You're beautiful inside and out, thank you so much for sharing what you know, stunning! 😘🤗

[@MrsMelissaM]

I'm so glad you liked it! Thanks so much for watching!

[@maryrose7842]

Great video 😊I have the It cosmetics heavenly luxe brush for about 4 years but it’s beginning to shed and it’s no longer usable. I bought a cheaper one from Jessup which is fine. I don’t think it’s necessary to buy expensive brushes.

[@welcomwelcom9882]

Melissa u look stunning luv the soft curls in your hair Now that u have a flat tummy can also wear midriff top as the model I dare u - I would lol! I look after my many brushes Wash them frequently and they last forever Wonderful video

[@TinkITreasurebooks]

Love these videos! Thank you so much for going the extra mile to find lower cost alternatives. I would caution ordering lipstick from Amazon, I did, it was just loose in a larger box and it was a Melted mess, I tried to repair and put in fridge for a few days, but that did not work, I can use with a lipstick brush only.

Good to know. Although I haven't had an issue, I'm sure they're definitely out there.

I wish that It Cosmetics would get rid of the awful black handle brushes that turn gummy. I got rid of all of my It Cosmetics brushes with that handle. I got excited when I found the Jumbo #3 with the new handle on the Ulta website but unfortunately when the pandemic hit, Ulta stopped shipping to Canada. I bought the E.L.F alternative but I think that I donated it (Maybe I will repurchase).

[@MrsMelissaM]

Thanks for your thoughts. I hope it helps some Angela!

[@MrsMelissaM]

Hi Trish. I think there's a good mix of cool, neutral & warm. Like I said, wait for a sale. With the 20% off it would be $28 & that might not be too bad.

I’m so in love with the Dior Powder no Powder! I hate that it was discontinued😢!!! So I am definitely thinking about getting the Laura Mercier if they have a good shade match for me! Also, thanks so much for comparing the different brushes to one another❣️I literally have some Rephr brushes and BK Beauty brushes that I haven’t even used yet because I have so many great drugstore options. The Elf angled brush is still my go to for powder blushes and I use a bunch of eco tool brushes for cream applications, etc. The one BK Beauty brush I use is the big fluffy one for finishing powder(My Dior Powder no Powder) until it’s done. I can’t explain why I don’t use my high end brushes😢I feel like I don’t deserve to for some reason 😂Great video, Melissa 🥰

Of course you deserve them sweet lady! Pamper yourself!

Hi Melissa, I could not tell the difference in the powder, blush or the lipsticks. You really hit the nail on the head with those matches. I love Colourpop palettes better than others too. Patrick Ta palettes are the only highend palettes I have except for Too Faced. Hope you are haviing a wonderful day and I have enjoyed the video and the comparisons. Great job and we love you too Melissa.🥰❤💜💜🙏💐
