I don’t think your videos so much push consumerism like other people on KZbin - I feel like people may buy products they see you use because they look so great on you. That is what we are all chasing - to look good close up. You teach so that it is super easy to learn. Also, in my own experience, I buy products when I am going through something challenging in my life to make myself feel better about whatever is going on. I am a product junkie and I love trying new things! You also say in your videos that if you don’t need it, don’t buy it - I love that! You are here to educate and not push products which is very rare anywhere on social media these days. Love your honesty! ❤

I will say people are responsible for what they choose to spend their money on. Now onto VB, I absolutely adore her products, she is definitely high-end. I did get her concealer pen and I really like it. Thank you for a wonderful video and all the hard work you do for us mature gals. You are greatly appreciated.

Thank you for reviewing for us. The overall look is great, but I agree that other brands, especially Seint, are stunning on you. I especially love your eyes. Maybe the heat from the hairdryer affected your skin. I find I can overheat (likely hormonal) while drying my hair, so I always do my makeup after hair and the touch up the hair if needed. Consumerism is a big problem and social media has made it worse. I think it’s wonderful that you give your opinion. Those who know you can trust it. Everyone can make their own decision, but you have always been conscientious. Congratulations to Rob getting a job he loves. 🎉 and yes, burning up still happens occasionally for me, not as bad but it surprises me when it does. Thanks Michelle. Have a great weekend. ❤

It makes me feel super old and that is why I keep looking. I need to accept how I am. It really is a madness that I can't keep up with.

I was thinking about getting some of those eye pencils but so many reviews I’ve read have left me re thinking…….. apparently because they are so soft they are a nightmare to sharpen and refresh the tip. They are too expensive not to be reliable. Regarding the rest of the products I agree with you Michelle the results are just ….ok. Not special enough to warrant the financial outlay when you can get far better results from other high end and even cheaper brands.

I love you! But I do have to say that the VB sticks you have are blushes ( of course you can wear on your lips) but they are primarily marketed as blushes.

She’s never released a product under a different name or title.
