My stray cats outside I feed chase off the chipmunks but I have this huge raccoon I’ve been feeding and he eats in the evening along with the cats and opossum and they all get along and eat together. My two indoor cats love to watch all of them from the window and it’s cute!! ❤️🐾
I enjoy watching critters too. We had a mommy and 6 baby opossums last summer. They ravaged my tomato plants. They would take a bite of a tomato, move to the next tomato and take a bite. Seldom did they even eat half of a tomato. Brats!
I have this, and was pleasantly surprised. I normally do not care for full coverage, and have desert dry skin. I must say, I really like it, and it really does last and look nice all day (at least 12 hours). It does not make me look dry, flat, or old (which most matte and/or full coverage foundations do). I have applied with fingers, sponge, and brush - and I like all 3 methods. I do not set with powder.
@Annie N Shelley would have to answer that. I have not tried it. I can tell you that my favorite foundation is Loreal True Match Lumi. The formula is light, the coverage is excellent, it last a good 8 to 10 hours, and my skin looks better at the end of the day. I have tried A LOT of foundation...high end, middle, and drugstore...and it is the one that works best for me. I can apply it any one way, and I do not have to set with powder, nor do I need concealer (and I have dark circles a d puffiness).
A personal preference is to stick with 100% mineral spf. In my experience with battling melasma I learned to stay away from chemical sunscreens. Other people who don't have this issue are blessed
Fun review, as always!! I was so distracted by your eyeshadow it was hard to totally pay attention though lol! Holy cow that’s gorgeous, I’m preordering now!!!
The coverage looks beautiful. I'd like a bit more w/ a more matte foundation. I do not have a foundation I don't set, so that would be cool. Chipmunks are so, so cute. How fun you get to watch one.
It looks so nice on you Shelly, plus your eyes & lipstick look perfect today! ( I pick off my nail polish also 😁... I can’t even wear it because of that )
This foundation surprised me too. I don't get on well with matte's as much as I use to....not since my skin turned to more normal -slightly dry. The consistency reminds me of the l'oreal fresh wear but my skin hated that foundation. I think I've found a new fave in this Covergirl one. :) Great review.
That foundation REALLY tempts me. Only drawback is, going into summer, that chemical sunscreen. Those tend to burn the crap out of my eyes if I’m sweating 🙈
Love this! Your video was really thorough and I think it looks gorgeous on you. ❤ I feel like it’s a decent dupe (maybe even better)if you like Estee Lauder’s Double Wear or Chanel Ultra le Teint formula. I got the golden natural shade which is a warm light. It’s perfect match. Wish I would have found it much sooner.
There are only 2 you tubers that I watch 100% of the videos posted without even reading the titles, you and Taylor Wynn. I love how down ton earth, normal, funny, nerdy woman who likes makeup! I am a lab nerd myself so I love your spreadsheets and your sense of humor! I could you please post instructions on your eyeshadow here? I have not been able to keep the definition of the darker outer corner and shape and lighter lid when I blend. I LOVE your look today!
Thanks, Adi! This shadow is from Adept Cosmetics, but I have pretty good luck in general with eyeshadow wear. I use the MAC Paint Pot in shade Painterly as my eye primer.
Yes! Chipmunks are one of the cutest little animals ever, the animated Chipmunks...not so much IMO! I've had some trouble w/my MacBook so haven't seen you lately, but you better know as soon as I got it back, I came right over!
The animated chipmunks for some reason made me think that chipmunks are MUCH bigger than they really are! I had no idea they're so small! 😂 When I first saw this one, I had to google a picture of him because I had no idea what it was!
OMG!!!! I have been wondering about this one, I love the Trublend so I’m super happy you reviewed this one!!!! Thanks again for another great review!!!! I’m a CG kind of girl I guess too 😊❤️
Thank you for reviewing this foundation. I’m going to try it. I haven’t been a user of this brand but because they’re cruelty free now, I’m starting to venture in. I’m a little on the dryer side but looking forward to trying it. Hopefully I can find the right shade. I’m typically a medium but struggle often with drugstore lighting etc... Take care everyone ❤️
I loved the CG Elixir. Every other foundation of theirs gives me tiny little bumps on my forehead. Must be allergic to something in them which is too bad because they look so nice at the start 😧
I know I’m a little late to the party on this one but this foundation looks really good on you! Perfect shade. Oh, and when I was a kid, I LOVED Chip and Dale 🐿️🐿️ 💛
Hey Shelly! I ended up purchasing this and I bought the shade 820 like you used in this video because I find that our shade matches are almost always spot on! It works perfectly! Your “A” grade was completely accurate! I love this foundation so much!!! Thanks again for a fantastic review! 😁
I loved this foundation! More than Armani Silk. Looks better throughout the day. I'm 64. Use Vanicream moisturizer under makeup and Skin Aqua gel sunscreen (Japan). I too use 820 shade.
Passes the mask test AND looks nice. That’s the whole package these days. I’d be interested to hear your thoughts (maybe in one of your compilation videos) about the wear and look at the end of the day when you don’t have to wear a mask. I’ve noticed that the extra “humidity” from my breath affects the wear and look of my makeup a bit.
Beautiful results Shelly! Love love love your eye look!!! I’m desperately trying to improve my eyeshadow techniques... not looking at all as good as yours but I keep practicing 😀
Okay I'm still fairly new to your channel but I've binged watched all of your videos over the past two weeks and I bought a few of your skin care products Essences and sprays and I am doing the seven steps I think I'm up to nine steps right now before my skin is telling me to stop and I'm absolutely seeing a difference with the plumpness the hydration and I love it it's the one time of the day that I feel like it's my time I feel luxury I feel pampered and I want to thank you for introducing myself and others to your skin care routine and I look forward to more videos
I seen another review of the lippies last night. There was a nutmeg shade that looked cooler in tone. It's not relaxing or enjoyable for me to browse, in store, as more people have decided that it's safe not to wear masks around others. Covergirl has made some great changes, that is for sure.
I’ve been waiting for you to review this one! I have been wanting to try it, but haven’t bitten the bullet, yet, because I haven’t seen enough trusted reviews on it.... after watching this, I think I’m ready to pick it up now! 😂🤣
There are so many good drugstore foundations to choose from now....this Cover Girl looks so pretty, your eyes just top off the look....The closest Ulta to me is an hour away....love just browsing the aisles to see all the products....before we moved to the country I had one just a mile from us, still miss the conveniences.....I saw where Yensa is on QVC now....
That everyday make up look is so beautiful😻 eyeshadows and haircor play so nicely together! I'm gonna give this foundation a try since my skin is identical to yours, thank you for another awesome review♥️👏
Hey Shelly! I hope your having a fantastic day! Today is Thursday, and we are supposed to have good weather tomorrow, I think...? My husband mentioned it is going to be in the low 80’s tomorrow and clear 🤞🏻. I wanted to catch up with you and let you know I bought the Loreal Age Perfect Radiant Serum Foundation upon your recommendation. I LOVE IT! It’s SO GOOD! So I wanted to say thank you for helping me 😊 Have s great day and I hope you are able to enjoy the upcoming weekend. Hugs, Brenda 💄💄
This looks really good. This color seems perfect on you. I bought that same It brush on the Ulta sale. I’ve had good luck with their brushes for foundation.
I tried this foundation and although it did have a nice finish and lasted a long time, it made me really oily on my T-zone after like 2 hours of wearing it even after setting it with powder and I had to keep blotting throughout the day so because of that I gave it to my mom who has dry skin and she liked it...
So good to see you again Shelly! Hope all is well. :) On the subject of chipmunks..........I have some that burrow holes under my foundation AND rob my bird feeders. Funny story: About 10 years ago, I purchased a bird feeder that proclaimed to be squirrel/chipmunk proof. It was made from a sort of chain-link material where the metal strands were twisted in such a way that made it difficult for rodents to get at the seeds inside. I had a chipmunk swearing at me through an open window on a beautiful Spring day. He was quite upset that he couldn't get into the feeder anymore. Lol! This foundation looks so smooth and pretty! I've always walked past this formula thinking that it would be too matte for me but this looks like something I might try. CoverGirl really knocks it out of the park with their foundations. I just wish they'd stick to one shade name/number system so it would be easier to find the right one across formulas. Take care. :)
You can still get The Balm Desert. It's on sale 50% off today. I know you don't need another but I saw on Insta they were having a sale today so in case someone wants one, they can get it. Great look on you. I have too many foundations now, though,. Gonna try to work through some of these other ones.
Wow!!! Looks spectacular! Have you been intrigued by the new KVD balm...in a pot foundation? I’ve seen it once and am now extremely intrigued!!! Thank you for your review and being here for us! Have a loverly day and night. 👍
I did a review on this foundation and tried it multiple times in humid weather I didn’t think it did well at all until I tried something to combine it with and it made all the difference in the world at least on mature skin,before combining this with something else it definitely settled into fine lines!!
@@mistywinn1 Balmshelter a tinted moisturizer I use all the time if you go watch my video u can see the texture it is to compare it to other ones you may have!
Oh good, I was wondering which shade you'd pick. Like you, CYO in 101 was perfection and so is the Missha BB in 21. Looking at the shades online, I would've bet on 800 Fair Ivory which looks like it leans a little cooler. Dang, it's hard choosing shades!!! This looked really nice on you, though. And since I wear a mask 8-10 hrs/day at work, I don't expect a whole lot... I may have to try this anyway. Excellent video as usual!!
I am excited to try this foundation. Right now I’m enamored with the bye bye foundation, but it is quite expensive for me (teacher, back w 75% live classes in elementary). As others have said, I’m sure it will oxidize, so I’ll get the lightest shade & just bronze if needed. 😂
I thought the foundation looked good. I really liked your whole make up today! There were some chipmunk movies in the 2000's. Not nearly as good as the original albums, though. I always go Chip and Dale when I see chipmunks. Those old Disney reels still crack me up!
That looked fab on you Shelly. Love the eye look - wouldn't say no to a tutorial on that! The lip product is very impressive for the amount of wear also. Oh I wish we could get covergirl in Ireland. Although probably just as well we don't. I have two foundations that I'm working through and I don't wear makeup often. Thanks for sharing. By the way did you get your boiler fixed
Thank you!! And yep thank goodness the fix was minor, but the empty propane tank was not minor! Our new gas company totally messed up the estimate of how much fuel was left, and it was almost completely empty, which also prevented the furnace from working properly. $2,000 later ..... ooof! But it's all working now and that's what matters.
@@goow Ouch - that was a stinger of a bill. Especially with all the work you have going on already. Thank goodness it's all working again though. Good to be cosy.
Wow this one looks beautiful on you and in the check ins I couldn’t even see the makeup on your skin. I bought this and liked it but bought the 800 which was a little too light for me. I’m going to grab the 820 since we’re shade twinsies and all lol. 👍🏻I was hoping you’d review this one! Awesomeness 😎 Also how was this one for transferring? I must’ve missed that in the review somehow...
A tiny bit wore off on the bridge of my nose where the mask metal part goes but not much at all so I would say it's pretty good in its claim about being transfer-resistant.
Beautiful, I love this look. The foundation has a beautiful satin look. Not a fan of Cover Girl. Do they still have that Noxzema smell in their products?
Can you test Bare Minerals’ Complexion Rescue Tinted Hydrating Gel Cream Broad Spectrum SPF 30? Off-topic I wanted to say that I am from Athens Georgia and heard in one of your previous videos that you liked this town because of Michael Stipe it may be other reasons. I love the music here as my favorite band from Athens is widespread panic. No one ever mentions Athens Georgia and their beauty videos so excited me more than it should have! LOL love all your videos
I didn't know Widespread Panic was from Athens too!! I got my first tattoo in Athens (one Christmas break from college when my best friend and I decided to drive down there on a whim and spend the week) - Midnight Iguana Tattoo. It was right across from the hotel we stayed at downtown (which was a Holiday Inn if I remember correctly!) We were 19 so neither of us could get into the bars yet but we had a blast anyway. Never did find Michael Stipe.
@@goow yes! every single tatoo from all my friends and acquaintices came from Iguana!! ..your first of many more! i love that! tHoliday INn is still there!
Thanks for the video. I like how you describe things. I wish I could try this foundation it but I really stink at matching color ( I have 70 yr old vision also) I wear Loreal infallible fresh wear which was color matched for me before covid days by someone at ulta . I wear the shade 435 which is dead on. anyway. thanks for your videos.
😱 OMG I can't get over how beautiful it makes your complexion....it's extremely flawless....it looks great on u...I'm.bout to buy me some.....so u were saying the matte made was one of your favorite.....so it doesn't effect your face as far as looking dry??? I'm asking because I know u and me both have dry patches
*marvels* That looks SO dang pretty on you! I'm wondering, now, whether to re-try it...? I purchased it about three weeks ago and managed to at least test it out, but my results were NOT the same as yours. LOL If you remember the dusty, cobwebbed skeleton that's fallen out of dozens of closets/coffins in B-grade horror films, then you can get a pretty good idea how it looked on me. ;)
Looks so nice. I have the outlast 3in 1 I think, imnotsurw if this is a revamp of mine or what the difference is🤔 Wondering what you use for the purple in your hair? 💜
Hi Hayley!! I do a 50-50 mix of Arctic Fox Purple Rain (red-based purple) and Poseidon (blue). This here is what it fades to after a few weeks. A little of the blue-purple hangs on but mostly what's left is the undertone of the Purple Rain.
I appreciate your foundation reviews! I’ve been using the Futurist by Estée Lauder and I love it so much but it is very expensive and transfers a lot too. I’m going to try a few drugstore ones now but the biggest problem I have is that my skin doesn’t have ANY yellow in it and all drugstore products are so yellow on me, it’s really a giant pain in the ass! Why can’t anyone make a product for us pink skinned gals? Any recommendations would be lit! Covergirl is so far the least yellow from the drugstore but it’s still not a great match for me. I’m muthalovin pink y’all! Help!!!
