Saw this all over - so thought I'd have a go with the new foundation in water routine. Have to say the make up has lasted all day, even through swimming with the children (not that I did much actual swimming)!
I'm new to your channel. I have watched most of your videos now and love them all. You are so open and honest and natural. I love it. So refreshing. Thank you. I hope your hip gets sorted sooner rather than later. X
Love to watch your videos for pure entertainment 😂. None of the dresses you show would fit me but I just love how your honesty and sense of humour. Just keep being you..... you're brilliant 😃
This was so much fun to watch. It does give off a glowing finish. Your really good at applying make-up, and it suits you. You’re very glamorous. I really enjoyed watching😊💛
Thank you so much for the tip, first time I’ve heard about it 🙈 I’m always late to the party 😂 will definitely give it a go. Hope you’re pain is more manageable today, bless you 🙏 xxx
Thanks for the brilliant video and mmm, I’ll maybe give it a go. It’s lovely to see how we all put our faces on and really enjoyed your tips. I’d be interested to hear about your experiences with derma-planing. I’m tempted but dubious about how the hair grows back. Hope you get some relief with your hip after swimming. Xxx
Thank you Becky. I love the effect of dermaplaning, it makes your skin so smooth, it exfoliates and gets rid of the 'fluff' too. No problem with grow back xx
Like hanging out with a friend, you’ve got a cracking sense of humour the goldfish poo 💩 had me in stitches, Thanks for the makeup tips we all need a little help with that 🤣
Can't believe your video popped up helen as I'm usually last to the party😊 it's lovely trying new things out and I enjoy wacthing people putting on there makeup, hopefully your hip benefited from the water today, 💓
enjoyed this video so much, well your never too old to learn something new😏who’d have thought that by putting foundation in water would create such a lovely finish, i’ll give anything a try once, I think your whole face looked fabulous, and talking of me being old what on earth is dermaplaining, not even sure how to spell it, i’ve never heard of it is it painful, hope not 😳.Love all of your videos and you really make me smile you are such a fun lady, thank you.x
Hi Hazel, dermaplaning is not painful, unless you get it wrong..... have a little look on line. I like doing it as it gives a lovely smooth surface for creams etc. Thanks for watching xx
Enjoyed this Helen. Fairly new to your channel and like the way you keep it real which is what us older gals want 😁 not sure I could be bothered with putting mine in water when I’m flying out the door every morning for work but was certainly interesting to watch and your makeup did look good. Bet Rob thought his luck was in 😜Hope you enjoyed swimming ! have a good weekend x
Hi Helen you are so funny you make me laugh with you’re lovely personality, you must be in a lot of pain with your hip but you are so positive and inspiring love all the tips you offer on everyday things going to try the foundation tip your makeup looks great thanks for another brill vlog xxx
Hi Helen another wonderful video just watched your John Lewis haul - if you read this you will think that person got nothing better to do !!!! no seriously I enjoy your videos & you are clarifying a few issues for me. The main one is perfume I have been saying that the old classics that I still use were not the same strenght & they do not last half as long!!! now I know why
Makeup looks really good. My hair similar to yours I have what looks like baby hair too, strange isn't it. Hope you enjoyed swimming and it helped your hip. Take care. xx
You’ve put me to shame! I’ve spent the day with scruffy hair and no make up on! 😂 I’ve never heard of this foundation hack, but your skin does look good with it xx
I have ordered 3 things ! Thanks so much Helen , you help my confidence so much . Thanks again lovely Helen ,love your channel ....Rogers has closed or about to incase you don't know xxx
Really enjoyed that video I did chuckle when you said how good your makeup bag was and can find things easy then couldn’t find your blusher 😂. Can I ask what eyebrow tint you as I’ve not had much success with the one I use ?
My favourite fragrance for many years was Estee Lauder Spellbound - I adored it. Comments I have seen about it now are saying that it has been re-formulated and does not smell the same.
The more i watch your videos the more i love ya . I'll give it a try never seen or heard of it before the foundation. I have a problem with my leg/hip not sure what it is. Been to doctors several times and all they do is send me for physio which makes it worse. But I've made an appointment to see a specialist as I can't put up with the pain and not knowing exactly whats going on with my leg/hip. xx
Hi Angela, you need an x-ray to establish if there is a problem. I went 8 years with my right hip, thinking it was muscular. Spent a fortune on an osteopath and it was my bones all along..... Thank you for your lovely comment xx
Good job - you look good! So what do you do with the foundation? Just drop it in a glass of water? What's the idea behind it? It does give a nice finish. Totally agree about the Naked Basics 2 - my favorite - never found anything else as good. You might want to try Grande Lash serum - a lot less than Revitalash and it definitely works for me. I recently tried The Ordinary one 'cause it was cheap as chips, but for me, it doesn't work at all, and the Grande Lash always works.
Hi Fiona, yes it did work but a bit of a gimmick really, Just drop into a cup of water let it separate and then use the colour from the base of the jar. Thanks for lash recommendation.
Hi Helen, with regard to Clinique’s Aromatics Elixir, in my experience asking the manufacturers about fragrance formulation changes usually results in a complete denial. I’m not sure why this is, but if you look on Fragrantica you’ll see lots of folks saying the same. I’ve given up asking now. Loved this vid, thanks!
This is the company response: Clinique’s Aromatics Elixir is an iconic fragrance that has been enjoyed by our consumers for many years. As with all of our fragrances, the Aromatics Elixir must adhere to all worldwide regulatory requirements, and as these regulations change, we must slightly adapt the formulation to meet the new requirements. As such, there have been multiple reformulations of the Aromatics Elixir over the years and some loyal consumers may have noticed a shift in the scent. We’ve taken these comments to heart, and have made additional efforts to revive the original iconic Aromatics scent. We’re committed to preserving the long-lasting heritage of the Aromatics fragrance.
Helen a little tip for you if your mascara's going dry get some contact lens solution- put a few drops in your mascara and shake .It should make your mascara ok. 😚
Lovely make over Helen. I tend to use the same brand of make-up, but will try something different for a change. Do a little bit of mix and match like you do. So what did the Doctor say Helen? ( you never said). Hopefully he can give you some stronger pain killers! Take care xx
Hi Marion, thank you. When you say "do my eyebrows". I tint them using 'just for me' hair dye. I'll try and film it next time I do it.... and then I use the Iconic pencil set for filling in any small gaps. I keep them neat and have them waxed or threaded every now and again. xx
Hi Helen . Loved the make up video ..Could you tell me what tinted foundation you used please...Love all your video’s. It’s like visiting a friend when I see them ...Think you are doing really well , whatever topic you decide to talk about is always very interesting ... 😀xx
Hi Helen, what was the Elf contour product you used? I’ve been trying to find crème contour but no luck in the stores (I was able to find one labeled contour but it was powder). Thanks for all the tips!
Hi Helen, your skin looks lovely, never heard this idea of squirting foundation into water. Did it change the finished look of your foundation at all? I hope your swim eased your pain, great exercise. Any exercise is better than none. ☺️
Hi, the foundation hack did change the foundation, but for the better it stayed on really well and didn't transfer. Not sure I could be bothered every time, but for a special occasion I probably would. xx
Have heard you mention dermaplaning a few times now. How often do you do it? And doesn’t it make you hair grow back thicker and prickly like a beard???
Hi, no it doesn't grow back stronger that's a bit of a myth. The reason it might feel stronger is because it has a blunt end, but it really does make a difference to the application of moisturisers and make up. xx
@@tracyfiumara9218 Hi Tracy, not in my experience, and no you don't I did it just once a couple of years ago and it made no discernable difference to my facial hair at all when it grew back. x
I have exactly the same issue with my hair as well as thinning eyebrows. Someone told me that it could be a sign of an underactive thyroid so I'm going to go for tests.
