No foundation will ever cling to one’s dry patches, as your cat clings to you😂😍

[@goow]

LMAO!!!!

[@jmarie1959]

OOOHHHHH! I hope you come across the Elf Soft Glam foundation. It's only $8! Have a great weekend! 🙂

[@goow]

Ordered it last night!! :) Can't wait to see it!

[@mgromz]

What color did you purchase? I wanted to buy it, but there’s only 2 cool tone shades in Light.

[@amydaniels6442]

@@goowCan’t wait!!!

[@micheleg81]

What a treat to go on KZbin on a Saturday night and find a new Shelly! This tinted moisturizer is a no for me. Just not enough coverage. Not sure you would be any happier with a darker shade.

[@plainegrace5712]

Gad I love how much Ziva adores you!

[@SarahMcAshan]

HI ZIVA! Oh dear, mosquitos biting the old ear cartilage is a huge problem here in Texas! I'm surprised how light this tint is, so thanks, you've saved a lot of us from buying the wrong shade if we want to try this. Test it with a different sunscreen for sure before you toss it--that pilling sunscreen is a disaster. I use a hydrating chemical sunscreen like Haru Haru Wonder Black Rice Moisture Airy-Fit under any cosmetic product I try.

[@melaniew8805]

Between Ziva’s (sp?) antics and the chili-pepper lips this was hilarious! Thanks for the laughs.

[@azcurlygurl]

Shelly, as a fellow mosquito magnet, I found a miracle anti-itch treatment! There's a popular product on Amazon that is a spot heat treatment that you hold to the bite for 6 seconds and it eliminates itch and speeds healing. Since I have a 6 in 1 electronic facial device that has a heat setting, I held that to the bite for 6 seconds (after it heated), and, wow! It really works! I hope this info is helpful :)

[@neneg.4264]

"a fellow mosquito magnet"... I died! 😂😂🤣😆

[@goow]

I must try this!!!! I was outside for literally 5 minutes yesterday rinsing something with my garden hose and my legs got EATEN UP! mid-day!!! Like WHYYYYY!!! lol

[@wandacrowell6766]

I think Ziva loves to hear you talk. She loves you so much. Give her lots of love!

[@greenbeauties]

I thought you would have bought their concealer, apparently that’s better than the skin tint according to other influencers. Ziva is adorable ❤

[@goow]

It's on my list to buy!

[@karlaharvey2623]

Zika is all over you Shelly. I love her. Thank you for reviewing that skin tint. Not for my more mature, dry skin. All these celebrities coming out with their own makeup line is so over rated and flooded. Will you consider doing a gRWM using some oldies yet favorites of yours.? Have a great Sunday Shelly. Your land behind you is beautiful. You look so different in natural light. You’re so pretty.

[@goow]

An "old faves" GRWM is a great idea! Thanks, Karla!

[@runswithsoda]

That is a disappointment. It's good to know how light the color is, and how weak a product it is. That pride soap is very pretty. And Miss Ziva!❤ Thanks for another thorough review!

[@CatKim2]

Ziva was just a nut today! Very entertaining!

[@reikiwithcary2682]

Shelly- always put raw honey and turmeric or cayenne on a burn as soon as it happens... in many cases it will prevent a blister from happening ... aside from taking the pain away. Hi ZIVA ! ☘️💚💙💚☘️

[@goow]

Oooh thank you I am saving this in my phone! Oddly it didn't blister but I now have a stripe on my finger of no fingerprint 🤣

[@laurenmason2115]

I would love to see you review the Ciele Tint & Protect SPF 50+ Tinted Serum Foundation ❤

[@goow]

Added to my list!

[@susanr4663]

ZIVA!!!!! You're so funny and cute. You have a huge fan club. I work outside there is no way it would stay on my face.

[@Penelope_Says]

Yes! I’ve been waiting to see someone review this before trying it! Thanks so much! Great review!

[@lorainemcgillivray77]

Hi Shelley I thought the shade looked fine in daylight tbh and I have a fear of the orange tide mark with foundation 😂. I’m using the ilia skin tint and their shades are very yellow based in the light shades. I LOVE the glow it gives my very dry skin but it’s fortunate it doesn’t have a lot of coverage due to the shade. Green corrector for the redness and concealer in a decent shade match makes it look great on me for a lighter Summer skin look. I’m at the extreme end of the fair spectrum (for reference 00 in Dior or 0.5 in Revolution) so finding skin tints in pale enough shades is really difficult tbh. Best wishes x

[@user-yd9wc7lz2b]

I love the packaging ❤❤❤❤ xx

[@a-sf8hi]

Hi Shelly! Thanks for trying this one out. 😊 Have you considered trying the new Lisa Eldridge skin tint? I'm considering buying that one or the Nars Sheer Glow.

[@goow]

It's on my list to buy!

[@marybonome9279]

Ziva is the cutest;!❤❤🎉🎉🎉 These products are not your best! Well done in spite of the mosquitoes and the dry patches!! Ty Shelly!

Would you please do a concealer fest on the Huda Beauty faux filter concealer? Thanks!

[@mettemather4931]

❤❤❤❤❤❤ kittie ❤❤❤❤ love her - she is just gorgeous ♥♥♥

[@bryndabaker6782]

I really liked the texture of this one, but had an experience similar to your own. It looked pretty good, initially, but didn't degrade gracefully. I'll reserve it for days when there are just a few errands to run or a shorter work-day. Thanks for the great review and thanks, too, to Ziva for just being her lovely self. ;)

Ziva is the cutest... 😊💜

[@grs1117]

Let's love our thin lips!! They have beauty. Can you imagine the producers of Gone With The Wind telling Vivien Leigh-sorry you nearly got the part but your lips were too thin....

[@reneklein6049]

There's my Ziva!😽 I never knew that Serena Williams had a makeup line. I like the container. Mosquitoes hate me. I think I've only had a few bites in my entire life. I must be cold blooded or not sweet enough.😅 I can't stand lip plumpers. Ouch. Outdoors, the shade looks fine. The soap looks great. Happy Pride Month. 🌈 I think I'd pass on the Wyn Skin Tint. Ziva's too cute. Silly girl. Enjoy the rest of your weekend, Shelly. ❤❤

[@ginacook1208]

I saw this at Ulta and I was very hesitant as the shades were wonky... thank you for your honest review.. I'm mature and dry so this is a no no...

[@suzannebladowski9040]

I truly LOVE that cat

[@goow]

She is the kindest soul I've ever known.

[@aliciapaul132]

Hi Shelly! Can you try the DHC Velvet skin primer? I was just reading reviews abs it’s supposedly great for pores and dry skin! I have oily skin but I know yours is more on the dry side. Wnw impossible primer is my current favorite but I’m interested in this DHC one, would love your thoughts! I see it on Amazon but heard it’s also at ulta.

[@goow]

Added to my list! Thanks, Alicia!

[@rhondaludbrook7369]

It looks like a tennis ball!!! Love the intention.

[@goow]

I am very impressed with the thoughtful conceptualization of the whole brand. I wore this twice more and haven't been able to get it to work for me but I'm not opposed to trying more from the brand. Foundations can be quite targeted and I doubt Serena is targeting the midlife crowd.

[@jandawood1234]

Can you please review the ilmakeiage primer?

[@goow]

I've got it on my to-buy list, but I'll be honest - it's not at the top of my list because their foundation and eye makeup really doesn't work for me (so I suspect their formulations just don't suit my skin/body chemistry), and whenever I mention one of their products in a video, I have to spend a week filtering out hate comments because their stans come out and I dared not love one of their products. So I'm not really eager to support the brand with my money. 🤣

[@jandawood1234]

@@goow That is completely understandable. The ads make it look like some miracle product. I have to say there marketing emails are quite pushy too which seems like a red flag to me as well.

[@belindafischer2920]

Maybe you can test it again when you don’t have dry patches.

[@AutumMoon406]

[@debblake1286]

I was waiting on this one. Did you not have the concealer? I have heard really good things about it. That plumper is a hot mess! Got a sample and 1 month later my lips are still numb 😅😅😅just kidding, more like almost a hour of soreness.

[@goow]

I did not grab the concealer yet! And SAME - I wiped off the gloss as soon as I finished filming and my lips still hurt for an hour!

[@blondebeauty995]

I intensely dislike that maybelline plumping gloss. Just awful. Even my tongue hurt.

[@goow]

Right?!?! I wiped it off and it still hurt for an hour! I threw them away. They aren't even something I would give to an enemy.

[@lindamack7184]

Sounds like they focused more on the packaging than the actual product. Won't be trying

Foundations that don't work for me get donated to Project Beauty Share twice a year. Hopefully someone is able to get good use from them.

Foundation round up! What’s the best summer heat and humidity foundations for “our” skin lol my best Thank you very much is NARS Light Reflecting it’s the best at plumping smoothing all day gets better with time skincare foundation it’s just so glowy lol I wish it was more natural Satin and I don’t know of any waterproof sunscreens that are matte I can wear under it I use the P.Calm Water Barrier bc it’s more sweat resistant that the HaruHaru Wonder which is perfection BTW would love a more satin matte version of it any ideas?!?!?💡 I guess I could try my Kose suncut or SkinAqua sunscreens the alcohol scares me for my face they are excellent body or any vitamin c recommendations that are not greasy looking I got the Numbuzin # 5 toner and serum I’ve been using and loving and can tolerate I just tried the K-Secret Vitamin C balm in a tube I’m not getting red which I’m astounded by … trying to get rid of freckles It was going so well this Winter… ugh!!!! lol!
