My List of *JUST TRUST ME* Makeup Products

[@dly9829]

An episode on hand cream would be great! Whatever the skin type on our face, whatever our concerns are, dry hands in the winter haunts almost everyone!

Hi. Idea vintage makeup....1930 thru 1990. Looks fun series

[@emilynoel83]

That's a great idea. I have some books that might guide me through this

[@jessicagonzalez3669]

Yes to this!! Can you sneak in 1920s? It seems rarely does anyone get that one right. There seem to be many misconceptions about it. You could clear it up. 🥰

[@KaitPlanet]

This is a great idea! I am so over glitter and shimmer…I love classic looks

[@lisahurst4208]

Your grandmothers makeup vs your mom vs you. Show the products available to each generation and how they used them and why.

[@Sue_WWeb24]

Love this idea!!

[@dindog22]

pretty amazing that Cover Girl has products that have been killing it since the 80's. I remember using those blushes when I was in high school. I'm 58

Cheekers and cheekbones. Wow. 1980s junior high and highschool staple. The genius of the highlighter and the gradient blushes in the cheekbones. How could Cover Girl “know”? Decades ago?Mad mad respect. ❤

[@heatherheck4946]

OK! I’m so old I remember when Instant Cheekbones has a CONTOUR shade, and there used to be a how-to-use/placement diagram on the back of the package. This was probably circa ‘84-‘86. For reference: I am 53.

[@OrleidisLozada]

Me too! The three colors ARE supposed to be "contour" "blush" and "highlighter". That's why they're called instant cheekbones

[@cynthiacampbell5011]

I'm 54 i remember those seems like so long ago and it was the only blush bronzer I used at the time nostalgia

[@MsLisaBrooks]

Emily-try spraying your shirt stains with Dawn power wash or just Dawn dishwashing liquid and scrubbing it again and then was in washing machine as normal. It has worked so many times for me.

[@emilynoel83]

Oh cool!! I have some of that. Hopefully it works on stains that have been on there awhile! :D

[@jillianleigh27]

Yes! But be careful to not let the dawn sit too long or it will remove color. Learned that one the hard way 😂 The tide rescue spray has worked multiple times for me on set in and gone through the dryer grease stains. I’ll spray it on wash it like normal and hang it to dry and if the stain is still there I’ll do it again. It usually works completely the second round, sometimes the first. 💞

[@jenniferschauer5759]

@@emilynoel83I was going to suggest spraying the spot with stain remover and using powdered borax or oxiclean. I make a paste and put it on the stain and let it just sit for a day or 2 then wash again. This has worked for me every time. It even removed set in chocolate martini stains off my white jeans.

[@karekausnicolli4890]

We've done that, too! Works great on stubborn stains!

[@susanward7681]

Trust me it works, my mom is obsessed with dawn dish soap for removing stains, she got a stain out that was on a 45 yr old sweatshirt that was packed away with our childhood toys, she got it looking brand new, and its now used for doll clothes lol but it works on all stains and much healthier than spot remover.

[@emmie928]

I would love to watch Em's "Just Trust Me" hand creams ❤😊

[@edb425]

I had a very stubborn balsamic vinegar stain on a shirt. I mixed a paste of baking soda, hydrogen peroxide and a drop of Dawn dishwashing liquid (the blue colored one). I rubbed it into the stain with a Q-tip and it got it out. Hopefully this works for you.

[@marianekalis1533]

Tyfs. I actually have a white Calvin Klein hoodie but I wore it to work and I got a few stains on it. I’m gonna try this, especially cuz I got everything on hand here!

[@carolclopper9020]

I'm really looking forward to your hand cream video. I have bought so many creams, lotions and ointments for my dry , cracked hands and nothing seems to work for me. I always look forward to seeing your videos!

[@cmlaporte62]

I’m post menopausal, with psoriasis that is well controlled, but my extremely dry hands are what make me crazy every winter.

[@kimberlybreier1415]

Oh hey for your stain on the shirt, I use vinegar in my laundry softener reservoir to the max line for every load no matter the size of the load and a fat splash in the pretreatment reservoir as well. It has replaced liquid softeners and dryer sheets, all of which leave a residue. My colors have never been more vibrant and my whites come out white every time and those little grease type stains come out every single time. I have had a couple of shirts like that that I could only wear a couple of times or with something over it because of that and when I started using vinegar in my wash, I’ve been able to wear those shirts whenever I want without having to cover them. And my clothes come out smelling fresh, not like vinegar and softened every time. Trust me ;) you won’t buy softener again. I learned this from cleaning lady Facebook group I follow. I have been doing this for 6 months now and can’t imagine going back. No to mention it’s better for your washer and dryer and anyone with sensitive skin.

[@balletsing3908]

I’ve used that concealer stick in light for years and years! I’ve always loved it !

[@rainbowyahi]

100% on the CH cheekers blushes. I’ve used them for years and I think the brush in the compact works perfectly when you’re trying to do your makeup in the car and don’t have tons of time or room in your bag to throw in makeup. I just brush the bristles over all three colors and I get the perfect glowy blush, and there’s no risk of doing too much. It’s a 10!

[@jennystuber1557]

[@exomake_mehorololo]

Happy Saturday 😊 fun idea!!! Could you maybe do a video on colourful looks? Like how one could integrate some fun colours into eye looks without it being too much or too complicated. When you do colours it always looks well put together so maybe you could give tips how to approach colours❤

[@Darbsi]

You transported me in a Time Machine to early/mid 80s when I was in high school and used that cover girl blush like no other. I packed on the blush back then and that product was it. 😂 I definitely am not a makeup snob and why I love your channel. Thanks for sharing. ❤

[@RoxyJ01]

Ioni’s killing it. Their gel eyeliner is so good (reminds me of the Pixi gel liners) and their eyebrow gel is fantastic.

[@TheDownhomeDrip]

Checkers and Instant Cheekbones were everything in the late 80s!! Still so good.

[@My_Girl_Milley]

My aunt swore by the cover girl blushes and always carried the pretty peach with her! 😊

[@schumi4570]

I would love a full length hand lotion / cream review.

[@adventureswiththerobin]

I also discovered Vanicream last year when I had a horrible reaction to one (or more) of my skincare products. Ended up going to a dermatologist and she recommended Vanicream along with quitting all my other products and reintroducing them back one by one. I have been so impressed with it (and even talked about it in one of my videos too). Glad to hear you mention it because it is super moisturizing, non-greasy, non-fragranced and great for sensitive skin.

[@dhayden1981]

I've not heard of it but I must try bc winter is ruthless on my skin.

[@allisonroberts695]

Good morning Emily! So glad to be doing my makeup this morning while listening to someone who feels like an old friend 🩵

That Vanicream is amazing! I use it on my hands, face, & neck every night, and it is the best. Thanks for sharing!

[@kristinemalik4600]

Just adding to the comments about blue Dawn, yes, it is great stuff! I use it to clean my makeup brushes. It cleans foundation brushes and any other brushes with cream products on it like you won't believe!

[@michelledillman6381]

Me too!

[@amyestrada1966]

I remember you loving MAC. It’s been a while! I’d love to see a few MAC items reviewed. Maybe foundations? Their blushes are amazing!

[@lisak.126]

The Wet n Wild Photo Focus stick foundation is excellent for touch ups. I keep it at work and use an eyeshadow brush to apply. Super easy and affordable.

[@tammygarrett9261]

I haven't heard anyone even say cover girl for years. I'm 64. Cover girl and Mabeline was all we had and it was great.

[@justrose6978]

I 💯 trust Emily to know her beauty products. She's the OG!

[@grs1117]

Jen Phelps has talked about how wonderful the Cover Girl Cheekers are, too so they must be wonderful if you both recommend them. Also-and this really dates me but who remembers Erase concealers for under eye--they were pure white. I bet we all looked so amazing LOL.

I would love to see a “Best Nuetral/Nude lipliners and lipsticks/glosses” video, including all price ranges.

[@irisk934]

Hi Emily, I was finally sold on your praise of the Cover Girl cheeker's blush during the Emily awards and I bought myself a number of shades since then. I have to say, I haven't been disappointed! I especially love classic pink! But I have the shades rock n rose, brick rose, Soft sable, plum, and natural twinkle. and they all work for me! Edit: One more fan of Vanicream here! The stuff is great! I first heard about it on doctor Dray's channel and I was one of the viewers Who recommended you try it when you were talking about your dryness and irritation.

[@kristinmcgee6610]

I ❤ the combo of your periwinkle top and peachy makeup!!!! More looks with that color palette please 😊

[@sallyhover8173]

Thank you for this!! You’re real. You’re honest. You’re humble. I love and have always these products and at 71 it was memory lane for me. ❤

[@Nica20.23]

I hardly see anyone talking about it but this powder has been my holy grail for about a decade now. Have you tried the Neutrogena Mineral Sheers Loose Powder Foundation? Just a beautiful blurring foundation and gives such a natural glow. Definitely my “you just gotta trust me” product 😊

[@laurenp6448]

Crazy trick for set in stains. Take Irish spring soap directly to fabric. Scrub it like crazy then add blue dawn. Scrub like crazy then wash it. Give it a try :)

[@stacyzaimi8535]

I stumbled upon the 5 products only face trend from a few years ago and cg instant cheeckones in purely plum also make gorgeous eyeshadows.

[@monicapatton1405]

So…I’m kind of stuck on cream and liquid blushes BUT because of you about a year ago I strongly encouraged my wealthy cousin to go back to Cheekers which she hadn’t used in 20 years. She LOVES them. I love you and have added in and loved a lot of things you have suggested but Emily we have all had chalky full face palette of shadows holiday style from Walgreens-I want to believe but I have ptsd from the past about those 😂 For anyone-the Profusion brushes are great!

The first blush I bought my daughter was cover girl instant cheekbones! Cover girl blushes are so good!

[@pajamamama5965]

Next time you're in Dollar General pick up that LA colors invite only palette for 6 dollars. If you like the nude one, you'll be blown away. The socialite one is also good, but that black packaging with mirror is so much better and the shimmers are too good to be true.

[@StephanieHall2672]

I absolutely remember that Covergirl concealer stick and the Instant Cheekbones! Such amazing products and I am so glad they’re still around. The shadows in the LA Girl pallet remind me of the original 3 pan Wet n Wild eyeshadows. I did a massive declutter last time I moved And got rid of a lot of those 3 pan eyeshadows, still mad about that!

[@glendagarcia6194]

Things I tried in 2023 because Emily said to: Wet N Wild Hydrator Skin Tint (fabulous), Hard Candy sheer Envy Hydrating Primer, also fabulous. I’ve ordered the VaniCream because I’m extra dry this winter. So I’ll take your word for it. I may not rush out and buy it but I keep a list from people I trust and you’re one them! Hugs 🤗

[@leeannbaxter]

Thank for this video!!! I completely forgot about good Covergirl smoother stick is as well as instant cheekbones!

[@Rainbopagn]

The Ioni lash liner is also great! I’m super new to falsies and find that the lash liner (black btw) is so much easier than trying to finagle a lash already gluey. Also: mix the Vanicream or Aquaphor with an aloe Vera gel that has lidocaine in it! Picked up the tip from a pharmacist. The lotion provides moisture and the aloe helps heal and reduce pain. Great for sunburn but I’ve also found it a saving grace for eczema and contact dermatitis.

[@janfranklin2114]

I remember those concealer sticks, great for your purse. Vanicream is my go to moisturizer. I keep it in my pro kit because 1) works on all skin types 2) absorbs quickly without leaving a residue 3) plays well with all my other products 4) excellent price point 5) no scent. I have rosacea and it really helps to soothe and reduce the redness and look of the break out. I also use it on set to help with touch ups when dryness starts to appear. My other go to especially for men is good old chapstick in the black tube. It hydrates without leaving a glossy look and works well under lipstick without breaking down the pigments. I start every application with witch hazel, Vanicream, chapstick and something Kiehl’s eye fuel to reduce puffiness.
