Emily, I swear some of your prettiest looks are your simplest, this eyelook is stunning on you. I hope you and the family are doing well!!

[@emilynoel83]

aw thank you so much!!

[@GeminiGlitters]

I agree 😍😍

[@wendybrown3502]

Who else loves that Emily loves ALL price ranges of products! I'm here for it!❤❤😊😊🖐

[@chelsea5226]

The only problem with watching Emily is wanting more… either more Emily or more more makeup

"Can I read?"...a parents dream question from their kid 😀

[@samanthamorales-carroll4037]

I love it when she wakes up and smiles at us... she's adorable.

[@emilynoel83]

loves to make an appearance! :D

[@mirandamakeup3095]

Cldnt agree more ❤️

[@bullitt0713]

Yup. She is so incredibly pretty!

[@PWatts-ff2fd]

I agree! I'm not an early bird at all, but you motivate me, Emily!

[@ashleydaugherty3373]

This is so ironic. I literally just came to ur page to tell u there is new Hard candy blush shades and they’re matte 😂😂😂 ur the queen of anything that has to do w hard candy, ur the GO TO and this video proves it. They might as well hire u on as there face of the company bc your keeping such an underrated brand alive for us all to enjoy !!!! ❤

[@emilynoel83]

haha!! I love spreading the word about Hard Candy! They also have some new creamy lip oils that I'm in the process of testing! :D thanks for watching!

[@ashleydaugherty3373]

I know I already bought the pink one !!

[@ashleydaugherty3373]

Oh and fyi those aren’t the right tower 28 lip dupes. The dupes from dollar tree actually have the same packaging as tower 28

[@monicapatton1405]

You look beautiful, so fresh faced & glowing from the inside out ❤ have a great day, thanks for showing up for us. We appreciate you!!

[@mistytells]

Warm contour? Bronzer. Basically. lol. Looks a little patchy and dark. Could be the camera? Idk. Just looking out. You can see such a demarcation line.

[@tabithak5943]

I feel like a lot of bronzer Emily uses, she calls contour, seem to be obvious. But somehow as some time passes in the video it ends up looking great and I don’t see a starkness. The forehead yeah was a little harsh.

[@sara31773]

I LOVE the Wet n Wild lipsticks. I have four shades. I’m 51 and I used to love a statement lipstick but now they don’t look right on me. These are so comfortable that I’m not constantly rubbing my lips together. They wear off pretty quickly but reapplication is easy. Smell great too. ❤❤

[@UnpurrfectRobyn]

My Walmart recently got a facelift and they reset the beauty section. Now the positives are they are finally stocking newer launches from Elf, NYX, Wet N Wild, and all the other staple drugstore brands and they added a small LA Colors sections. The negatives are they stopped carrying Profusion 😢, did not expand the Rimmel section (still just a little display hanging on by the end of the shelf)☹, and they downsized the Hard Candy display😟!

[@EnvyBlu]

Oh noooo that probably means my Walmart is gonna stop carrying Profusion too 😢 because their inventory was getting really low, and now they are remodeling and Profusion has been on the sale rack. I hope not!

[@cm_mb]

My Walmart expanded as well, and they added new products to the Profusion line. In fact, all the brands look like they added more products. The whole makeup section looks clean for a change. It usually looks like a tornado went through it, so this is a nice change. Hope they keep it clean from now on.

[@kate7621]

My walmart no longer carries rimmel, profusion, or hard candy!! So disappointing

[@valeriekingsbury3394]

I’m loving the Firework mascara too. For my straight lashes it does fantastic. I admit I was drawn in by the packaging but thankfully the product is good too 😅.

[@emilynoel83]

Right! That hot pink tube will draw ya in! :D

[@caribbeantigress78]

You can dot the color hot shot near your temples and orange 🍊 in between and the baby pink in the apple 🍎 of your cheeks and you’ll get the sunset blush trend.

[@PWatts-ff2fd]

I'm so glad I saw you apply that berry shade of blush that actually looks fuscia or PURPLE on the package. I ordered it from WM yesterday and got it today. It looks so much more subtle on my skin than it seems like it would be just by looking at the package. I love it! I'm so glad I took a chance on it. Thanks Emily! Love you!❤

[@monicapatton1405]

I like that the mascara packaging is bright. I feel like my black tubes get lost because I don’t see them in my black makeup case.

[@kathleendavid1035]

Emily, your new fitness routine is really working for you! You look even more beautiful, if that is possible!😂❤

[@PWatts-ff2fd]

Hey Emily! Thank you for another great drug store makeup review! I love seeing you creating a light makeup look today. That is the perfect vibe for summer!❤

[@MsMusicVideoLover]

I was trying to figure out what is a little different about you today, and I think it's that you've got a little bit of a summer tan going on, it looks really pretty on you.

[@nancicelenko3144]

Yesterday, I had someone tell me that my eyelashes looked amazing with this mascara on!! It doesn’t flake at all and gives lush, volumized lashes! Works great on the bottom lashes too. 😮❤ Tips: It’s a wet mascara. Blot off the excess, let the wand dry a tad, apply, move on to other eye, then do a second coat!! Remove like a tubing mascara by wetting lashes for a minute, then sliding the mascara off the lashes. I have thicker lashes.

[@PWatts-ff2fd]

Thanks for the info! I used your link to try that Firecracker Mascara. I ordered the waterproof version though, as my wattery eyes tend to decimate all mascaras that are not waterproof, even on my upper lashes. I put in the order even before watching your whole video, so fingers crossed!! PS I had to add the red and berry/purple blushes AND the Homecoming Queen lippie to my order. Thank goodness I have Walmart + so I get free shipping. 👍😁 Thanks again for reviewing drug store makeup and being such an honest, trusted reviewer, Emily! Love you! ❤❤❤

[@joysmith7780]

I’ve been wearing Little Red Rosette since the weather changed. Love it! Not dry and no drag as you apply.

[@emilynoel83]

love it!

[@meganngeorge]

Same!

[@mistytells]

I’ve heard so many people love the Firework mascara. I gotta get that one. We seem to like and have the same luck with the same mascaras for all of these years.

[@tiffanysadler2072]

I love that Hard Candy is expanding the Face off line and that you shared it with us! I hope they keep it coming!

[@stephanietruax948]

Hard candy is speaking my language with those blushes!

[@kaburzynski]

I’d like to see you try the lighter contour shade! This one looks patchy to my but that might because it’s so dark

[@cathystein1285]

I don’t see patchy Em but looks like a stripe on your upper forehead You look gorgeous as usual 😘

[@liashah5040]

Yes I agree the shade isn't quite right. That's for sure another bronzer and not a real contour. The lighter ones are a bit more cool-toned too usually.

[@martimar7181]

Maybe four dots was too much; try two?

[@emilynoel83]

thanks everyone. I think I'll use less product next time.

[@maryeverett-patriquin1376]

I think I've made this comment before, but I just love it when you say, "I love you" at the end of your videos. Love you, too!

[@jenniferkirkatx]

Wet N Wild “Bali Blossom” reminds me of a muted Milani Statement Lipstick in “Flamingo Pose”. LOVE IT!!! 🩷🥰🦩🌺

[@brittanykellner3544]

i still need to try those hard candy blushes! i’ve been meaning to try them since you talked about them the first time. and that hot shot shade, i need it! loved this video, Em! ❤

[@karekausnicolli4890]

Hi, Emily & Other Beauties! I am very impressed with how the Firework mascara performed on you, Em! I would also like to try those W&W soft blur matte lipsticks. I'm not usually a matte lippie gal, but I love the soft pillowy result I'm seeing on you! All of the colors are so pretty! As for "apricot," I pronounce it with a short "a" like apple. Michigander here, lol.

[@stereotypea123]

I love those new hard Candy blush shades, perfect for summer 🍹😎

[@kellysmith5105]

You find the gems, Em! ❤️Have a great rest of your day! I’d love your opinion on the new L’Oréal and Maybelline liquid blushes in the wand style packaging if you ever get any of those.

been meaning to track those down! I've heard the Maybelline ones are rather sheer. Thanks for the reminder!!

Would like to see some Flower Beauty eye cream shadow reviews. Thank you Emily🌸

[@Caroline-ey9jr]

The Wet & Wild Soft Matte Blur lipstick in I’m Shy” is a perfect dupe for Bisou Balm Lips / Sheer Matte Lipstick from Violette which is gorgeous and $28.

[@mirandamakeup3095]

Emily I think those b pure hydrating glosses are supposed to be a dupe 4 Neutrogena hydro boost lip gloss which they are closer in texture to, but amazing glosses non the less

[@emilynoel83]

didn't consider that! seems like a slightly less tacky take on those from Neutrogena!

[@mirandamakeup3095]

You influenced me; I went out and bought the W&W “I’m shy” and I love it! Thanks for testing these for us!

[@melissawiggles4594]

I’m still using up my L’Oréal Panorama mascara. I’ll be definitely looking for this new one from Maybelline once I’m done with it. I wish my local Walmart carries Hard Candy. Those blushes looked so beautiful on you. I found a lot of good ones that I like at Dollar Tree.

[@emilynoel83]

Really wish Walmart stores would universally carry the same stuff! Maybe your store will do a beauty section change-up like mine did! :)

[@melissawiggles4594]

@@emilynoel83 I do too. I stopped at a Walmart in New Hampshire on my way back to a friend’s house in Maine a couple of weeks ago. I saw it there. But here in my part of Middle Tennessee I’m not finding them. They did a remodel on both the stores in my area a couple of months ago. That’s when it looked like they got rid of HC. 😔

[@heatherlovesclay]

I was so surprised how great those WNW lipsticks were. I am going to need more colors. Also excited to see those Hard Candy blushes, even though my Walmarts don’t carry it haha

[@janreding9384]

Very nice classic look today and of course we got our morning hello from Biddy!!❤❤❤❤

[@6239yesi]

I tried she Maybelline firework mascara and it’s a good one. My go to is normally le volume de Chanel but it’s a bit expensive. I bought the waterproof formula and it comes off like a tubing mascara. I have long lashes btw.

[@pajamamama5965]

Great video! My 5 below has some new LA colors and LA girl displays. I picked up some lipliners and an eyeliner to try. There were some new colors I've never seen. I recommend checking it out. They're great products at truly affordable prices when the rest of drug store is going crazy.

[@emilynoel83]

Thanks for sharing! I didn't realize 5 Below was carrying those brands!

[@pajamamama5965]

@@emilynoel83 Yeah I was surprised to see the LA girl now I don't think they used to carry that. There were some new cute eye shadow palettes from LA colors also. And they have wet n wild, a ton of it.

[@Ninjamama22]

I just got the Firework mascara and I’m loving it so far. I also got a matte lipstick from Wet N Wild but the cheaper one. Great for wearing under a lipgloss.

[@dianawalter1446]

Have you found the new brand a sister brand to profusion I think it is color spell and only carried in dollar general they advertise it is in store I live in Missouri and have not found it. I bought the pretty sweet foundation next month will try the other items bought the correct shade first try a big accomplishment for me lol, take care and stay safe.❤❤❤❤❤

[@debedwards1717]

Your lashes look similar to when I use Essance Lash Without Limits. It’s my new favourite mascara. By the way, that Maybelline mascara is $30 here in Australia, so it’s a no from me. 😮

[@jessicaengle3954]

Would love to see a video of favorite “red toned” blushes.

[@laughloveshop2618]

Em, I think you’ve talked about reading Joyce Meyer before. I’ve never ready any of her books. Where would you suggest I start? Or other book recommendations? Also, Equate at Walmart has a great little eye brush set. Have you tried them? Five brushes for $7.97. Includes a flat-ish brush for packing on the lid. I just got it and am really enjoying it so far.

[@emilynoel83]

the Trusting God Day by Day devotional is an absolute favorite! I also like reading Ending Your Day Right before bed. Over the years I've tried a few Equate brushes, but not what's currently available. Thanks for the heads up -- it can be hard to find a set that feels complete!! :)

[@JenniferPost]

Please stay as far away from Joyce Meyer as you can. She us a heretic and sending the complete wrong message to her audience.

I wish you’d do a drugstore foundation roundup❤

VERY pretty look! Very Snow White fairytale princess

[@Sue_WWeb24]

Darn, I had that lip gloss from DT in my hand yesterday and ended up going with another lipstick (which I didn’t like due to plastic smell). I did pick up a couple of cream blushes which seem really good (only tried a quick swipe). Picked up the little eye roller, works great. Will definitely try the Fireworks mascara, been in a mascara slump lately. And while not a fan of matte lipsticks, that last wet n wild color is beautiful. Thanks Emily, love these quickie reviews. 😘

[@MsTerri3081]

[@jamiegreen8265]

I tried the firework mascara and I really like it a lot, too. My lashes are pretty much nonexistent but with this mascara, I look like I have some! They have a waterproof version but I’m wondering how hard it would be to take it off. 🤔

[@111myTunes]

Is the mascara like a tubing type? Also do you think it holds up and doesn't smudge or flake? I have small eyes w long lashes but always have those issues haha 🤦🏻‍♀️. Only mascara I don't have that issue with is thrive tubing mascara.

[@emilynoel83]

doesn't seem to be a tubing mascara, however I don't notice it smudging or flaking on me!

Emily, your makeup is always on point. I have learned so much from watching you over the years. However, today, something was off. Your camera was mostly trying to focus, and you appeared blurry on and off more than usual (unless it was my internet connection😏). The makeup appeared more patchy than usual. I think the bronzer was too deep and not blended enough. Personally, I go over and blend out all the edges with powder at the end to avoid harsh lines. I have fair skin, and it shows up really harsh if I dont do a final blend. Maybe in person it looked better, but on camera it looked a bit harsh. Even your lips looked patchy while trying the WnW lip product, and I don't remember seeing that in your previous lip swatches. It just might be your camera? Please don't take this the wrong way. It's like telling your friend she has spinach stuck between her teeth😂, and I know you would appreciate constructive criticism!!

[@anyfrazier8297]

Not trying to be rude but the Foundation and contour are not drugstore

[@juliecassidy7353]

I wouldn’t wear the bronzer again. You’re pretty but it makes you look like Anthony Hopkins in the Mask of Zorro.
