[@chloewright9561]

shelly please swatch on your hand it helps so much seeing those shades on your skin tone.

[@oceanbird.]

Either Swatch area is good for me. I like seeing the swatches over tattoos bc it helps me see coverage. I really like this editing way better this time! I like the cool little geeky animations, I think it matches your style way better. And glad to hear you talk without music over you! 😻

Hi Shelly, I like the hand swatches and your hair is looking fabulous! The being tired is probably a menopause thing. It hit me hard when I went through menopause. It’s so fun, NOT!! ❤❤

[@themerz6982]

Thanks for the review!

[@megcormack681]

Love your hair!

[@oceanbird.]

For new symptoms like tiredness I always recommend getting a checkup at the doctor. It might be menopause, or it could be something else. Maybe even a vitamin imbalance. I always have low vitamin d and when it gets really low I'm exhausted all the time.

[@micheleg81]

Love, Love , Love your hair in this video! Going to go check out the shades in the foundation. Could be iffy for this fair skinned girl.

[@lindajohnson.]

Love your hair color and style, so cute. Hand for swatches, shows much better. Foundation look great, blush and lips very pretty.

[@ravenquilts5931]

Early bedtime ; yup wait until yr crying to go to bed 20:30. Always a great honest review of products. Real women , real testing , real reviews, love it ! I bet it would be killer foundation with a hydro grip primer on tough areas . Thx again from UK .

[@liss441]

Love the lippie shade on you !

[@goow]

It's funny because looking at the bullet I'd probably not have even tried it on (it looks very pink in the bullet) but I absolutely love it!!! I was wearing it again with a darker lip liner and that worked great too. Or maybe I just haven't grabbed a bright pink in so long that I didn't know I liked them!

[@jmarie1959]

Thank you for the review! LOVE that hair cut and color - perfection! Take care. Gonna take awhile to get used to that new outro music... 😍

[@goow]

I think I'm going to ask them to extend the outro because it's actually the same music I always use but such a short clip of it! I know most people don't get that far but I like listening to it 😂

[@jenns.4187]

Your hair is gorgeous!! I’ve been super curious about this one but I hate that it doesn’t seem to be in any stores so I can’t grab a sample 🙁 I tried the Hourglass today and was shocked at the color match and how well it wore even though I played frisbee with my son in the heat outside. This whole look is amazing (hair, makeup, nails). Hope you’re well!

[@Iwona886]

I prefer editing in this video much more than the previous one :) The previous one was a bit too much and I couldnt focus on the content. But this one I really liked!

[@mariestopa]

Love your hair !!! I forget I had this foundation. It’s a little orange on me

[@makayla8693]

Hello Marie

[@lindamack7184]

You look fabulous! I love that purple hair! If you get time, I would love you to review the new Lancome Care and Glow foundation

[@carolinecarlisle6495]

She has the Lancôme review up right before this one ❤😊

[@lauraw83]

My Flower beauty bronzer lid broke too! Drives me crazy! BTW, LOVE your hair like this!!

[@goow]

Thanks, Laura! It’s a shade I got in Ireland and I bought all the bottles they had at Boots 🤣

[@Tina-qb6rx]

Informative foundation review as usual, editing style this time was nice. Could you pretty please review the Haus Labs foundation next?

[@goow]

It’s on the way to me as we speak!!

[@MyCleverHandle]

Hey Shelly! You're a goddess all the time, not just in summer! I love your swatches over tats, but maybe you could do them on a part of your forearm that has tatts and bare skin? Spoil me! I love to see coverage over tats,but your forearm bare skin has a more visible smooth texture, like what we might expect on your face. Your skincare is paying off, your face looks nice and smooth. Thanks for all your energy and focus!

[@ambergerhelper7852]

I still haven’t colored my hair. It’s not fun! I’ve been doing my own haircuts and colors since March 2020. We have a concert (hopefully 🤞) in November, so I’ll definitely do it by then. Love the purple. 🥰🥰🥰

[@evanschica1]

Okay Shelly…. Your skin looks great! I love that you’re dry skin like me lol. I’ve been dry since age 5. If you could please try the Westman Atelier Dew Drops vs the Westman Atelier Foundation. It’s soooooo good to find a beauty guru that’s not “oily”. It was like the cool girls vs the dusty girls 😳

[@goow]

I've got it on my list to buy! LOL I totally get the cool girls vs the dusty girls - most of my life i swear I didn't know a single other soul that had dry skin like me!

[@terricruz5]

As always luv watching your reviews!!🤗👍🏻👍🏻 As far as menopause goes, sleep as much as you can!! I'm in full on menopause an can't sleep!!! An the powersurges aka hot flashes are atroshish!!😓

[@goow]

Oh wow I didn't even think of it that way!!!! So far I'm sleeping fine (just always want to be sleeping lol!)

[@magm9719]

Beautiful look Shelly!! Love the hair and the lipstick!! We’ve been having rain too here today which is so rare in Nothern California , we’re so grateful for it!! Are you thinking about trying the new Haus Labs foundation? I’m curious about that one but this RMS looks really good!! I might try that one ❤ thanks for trying them for us!!

[@goow]

Just ordered the Haus foundation!

[@magm9719]

Woohoo!!! Can’t wait for your review!!! 😻

[@carolinecarlisle6495]

I would love for you to review the new Haus Labs foundation!! Thanks ❤ your channel

[@goow]

[@marianneharms8799]

Oh wow!! This looked easy-peasy to apply and very pretty!! I just received a sample of this (shade 00) from Detox Market!! I’ll be trying it tomorrow! Thanks for the review!! 💜

[@goow]

I'd love to hear how you like it once you've tried it, Marianne!

[@marianneharms8799]

@@goow Okay… I used it today. My immediate thoughts: 1) Shade 00 (fairest available) was pretty yellow for me (typical problem) and a smidge dark even for my slightly slightly “tanner” summer skin-tone. 2) I agree it’s not lightweight looking and it has a medium coverage 3) I mostly prefer sponge application but I used a brush because it has such a thick texture. 4) there were areas that I feel it was harder to blend and had to tap/press into those areas 5) I only wore it 6 hours but I think it wore well. I will continue to try with my small sample. If I have any additional earth-shattering results, I’ll come back to update.

[@lorainemcgillivray77]

@@marianneharms8799 Thanks the comments re the lightest shade were helpful. i'm the palest of the pale (best matches are Dior in shade 00 and Sephora foundation in shade 03P), so anything yellow is a no go. Plus as expected anything with 15 shades isn't going to be light enough - I've found anything light enough usually is a part of a 40 plus shade range. x

[@KarensTinyCarCamper]

Ok, tell me about those earrings! I want them!

[@goow]

I got them from Paparazzi! Every rep has different inventory but I bet someone still has them because I just got them this spring.

[@bingo7829]

Stay w hand swatches. Easier to see plus helps gauge what shades to use depending on season and tan since I pretty much wear same shades as you year round.

[@mistytells]

Looked really good on you. A little dark but shades suck so much when you're neutral, especially me, leaning olive. That wouldn't work for me, at all. Idk what shade I would even be able to wear in that one. Sucks, cause it looks so good.

[@kankan572]

Have you tried the Patrick ta foundation yet? I have been waiting to see you try it bc your opinion is the only one I trust ever since u got me hooked on that million dollar eye cream 🤣🤣 also I just got a sample of the Huda foundation I’m anxious to try it!

[@oceanbird.]

Have you tried the new Huda concealer? I'm very curious to try it but I've stayed away from Huda complexion products because I've heard they are drying. 🤔 She really is the best salesperson for that eye cream! They should send it to her for free 😁

[@goow]

I’ve got the Patrick on my list to buy!

[@greenbeauties]

Hand swatches are best to see the true foundations colour

[@gracie979797]

Hand seems to be enough.

[@carmenvanignaciaenfrank9218]

Wow every foundation looks good on your skin!And you have dry skin?I also have dry skin and a lot of foundation looks dry on me....Looks better in the summer but in the fall /winter ....not so good .My whole cheeks never feels smooth when i rub my hand over it.My husbands skin feels like baby skin ,so smooth and i am really jealous!Does your skin also feel rough ?xx

[@goow]

My left/nose ring side of my face feels more rough than the other side, I assume due to sun damage from driving but I also sleep on that side. Doing the 7 skins routine weekly helps my skin rehydrate a lot. But I slack off and skip it for months and I’m flaky again 🤣

[@gategirl66]

Loved this newest editing much more without the music! My 56 yr old eyes couldn't read the swatch names, but it looked nice..lol.. I especially love the hair!!!!

[@christinamoller5742]

I think the swatches are better on your hand. Beautiful nails btw.

[@goow]

Thanks, Christina!! My polish is Color Street! goownails.com

[@rosafranco5161]

Hi!! Gorgeous, I love your hair ❤️❤️👍👍💄🌺💐💯❤️

[@goow]

Thank you, Rosa!!! I hope you are doing well!

[@weir_family]

Can you switch on your draw line and then just wipe it off? That's where I have always done my swatches especially in store with those weird lights lol

[@GenerationXChick]

What made you choose the 11.5? I wear the 00 in the uncover up and you/I are usually shade matches.

[@goow]

11.5 was the first one that looked like it had a cool undertone. 00 looks like a yellow undertone from what they show online (I prefer neutral to cool). Of course it's hard to tell online because the photography isn't always true to color.

[@monicaduncan7109]

Swatches on your hands please

[@pouncebounce]

how do you feel about this new foundation compared to their cream foundation they have that you reviewed some time ago?

[@goow]

I like this one better but neither are likely to become all time favorites.

[@silkywhite01]

Hi Shelly! Personaly, swatches on tatoos offers a view of the coverage. But either is fine with me. Also, would love to hear your impressions on the haus labs.

[@goow]

Just ordered the Haus Labs! =D

[@moonmother.]

[@oksanaargueta6845]

I hated this foundation and returned it. I used very very little but it was stinking to all patches and settling in wrinkles I didn’t know I had

[@vickiem.6096]

Shelly, if you start the swatches a 1/2" past your forearm (your wrist), you should have enough space for 5 swatches. 😉

[@soniagaray4903]

Thank you Shelly!! Love you! None of my business but can the editor keep the music that you always use at the end? Or maybe you just wanted a change. Anyhow, always sending you good vibes ❤❤❤❤

[@goow]

I'm going to ask them to extend the outro. It's the same music but such a short clip of it that you can't really tell (and I was overboard with like a 20 second outro but I love that song so much that I wanted to hear it! lol)

[@ambergerhelper7852]

Same. My husband is gone FREAK OUT about losing the song. 🥺

[@soniagaray4903]

Yes!!! 🙌

[@taybulanda1669]

Feel better, get some good rest

[@theresaadams7074]

I was loving the finish, but I gotta have more than 9 hrs lol. My work day is 10 so 12 is my minimum 😢

[@abigailpena5950]

Tbh I would say your neck for swatches, but obviously it's not necessarily the best spot for swatches in videos, so yeah your hand's good. I'm always fair, but I'm a neutral golden olive undertone and it's extremely annoying to find a foundation that's fair and golden olive, but Urban Decay has my winter and summer shade, I'll always love their foundations. Either the shade is really pink or really orange on me, neutral just looks so grey on me, so with liquid foundations I'd mix a green concealer into it or a blue mix in product depending on the shade (golden fair shades btw). My grandpa is also a fair olive shade, so probably where I get it from. I hope you try the brand by Lady Gaga, I love your videos and will click the notification as fast as possible when I see you post a foundation video 😁

[@ambergerhelper7852]

I’m a weirdo who would love neck swatches too, though I’m sure it’s not feasible. 🤓

[@makayla8693]

Hello Abigail

[@PookieK]

Hello Shelly- world here. My BFF has on my favorite bow again. It’s always a good time for Mardi Gra Shelly I need to know what you use on your hair- please? I am dying for this color. I quit coloring 2 years ago and now I’m 100% silver. I need some purple in my life.

[@goow]

Mardi Gras every day!!!!!!!!

[@lorainemcgillivray77]

Hi Shelley as to the swatches either is fine - the hand is a more accurate skin tone, but the tattoos give an indication re coverage. I thought this one was a little dark even with your Summer skintone, but overall looked nice on you. For a brand with "clean" marketing that component is huge - lots of plastic for a 29ml product and not particularly eco friendly (just a thought), although I do like that type of pump dispenser in skincare. As with anything that only has 15 shades, it's unlikely going to have a shade for my skintone (Marianne's comment was helpful re this and it's as I thought - too dark and too yellow). Overall it's not for me. Best wishes.

[@Sassysequins716]

New to these videos and your channel! I like your reviews, Shelley, and your purple hair!! The lipstick 💄 is pretty on you. ❤ I believe most RMS tubed products have refills, but I agree it’s a lot of plastic packaging either way. I have the RMS Re-Evolve primer and it’s refillable. I haven’t bought a refill yet. Figuring out recycling packaging is always frustrating. Side note: I’ve heard Terra Cycle greenwashes their recycle program to the public. A small amazing store (near me) sells eco-friendly refills and bulk bath products, stopped using Terra Cycle in their store.

[@vickiem.6096]

No! I always looked forward to the out-tro music you had prior to this. 😭

[@goow]

I’ve asked the editor to extend the outro :) it’s actually the same music but I had like 15 seconds of it lol

[@kaitlynrudy8238]

Am I losing my mind or is this packaging enormous?!

[@goow]

I thought I was losing my mind but it's literally almost as tall as my head. I'm guessing the vacuum inner container is much smaller. Probably a lot of excess here since it's not even a full ounce of product.
