It's a nice quality when blushes can be built up but if thats a requirement for it to show up on anyone thats not the ice queen, then its not a great blush IMO, nars and cargo blushes still a win for me
Just thought youd like to know that Sephora has a box set that includes a bunch of Josie Maran skin care items including a full size Argan oil for $56.
@michele1218, I'm so gonna get on your nerves if I keep leaving you comments lol Last one I swear!
Have you heard this "The FDA has determined that glitter is a color additive which is not listed on their list of approved color additives. This means that a glitter product is not allowed for use in any cosmetic in the USA" quote from TKB. (more details for their new glitter product link)
I wonder why? And how the manufactures are getting by with this?
@michele1218 I didn't think about the fact that Garnier might test on animals too :( I'd also left a comment on your "battle of the taupe eyeshadow" bout a flat matte taupe in the new color tattoo line by maybelline, but I guess since they are owned by L'oreal they test on animals as well :( I hate that these stupid companies have 2 hurt our furry friends, I love animals and I love makeup so they put me in an awkward position. What I don't understand is y they test the FDA doesn't require it!
Lorraine Stanick has hair ties like that but she gets them from emi-jay. She hasn't said anything about them stretching out, so I'm not sure why they would do that.
Hi Michele, I recently read a really great article in Vogue Australia about non-toxic sunscreens that I thought might interest you. I can't find the article online, but it's the January issue if you can get your hands on it it's very insightful!
i need to check out those other laura mercier scents! love the hand cream! amazing favorites as always, obsessed with Hervana! i had terrible experience with those hair ties, they gave one in a birchbox, although i'm not sure what the brand was, hope they work out for you! xo
@cupcakesandscissors You are going to LOVE them...not a single one is bad! I am so turned off by those hair ties, they've all totally stretched out. what a waste!
I recently got Hervana and I love it :) Today I got the new Chanel blush from their Spring collection (the stripey one) and it's seriously amazing! Definitely check it out next time you're at Chanel
Hey Michelle, thanks for the response on your necklace! Like you I love dainty necklaces so loved your I' thought it was a charm but I'm thinking it's the clasp that is showing and not a charm either way thank you for responding.. Best wishes for the new year thanks for keeping it real ;)
@michele1218 i've heard such great things about the LIoele BB Cream, and I can see the biggest difference when you use it (more so than any other youtuber). I really need to break down and try it, I just hate ordering offline lol
Have you heard of/tried the new Garnier (sp) BB cream? I doubt it would have similar results, but I am curious. Just don't want to waste money on it and have to buy the Lloele one too!
I did the same thing with Hervana. It was at the checkout at Ulta and just grabbed it and was pleasantly surprised at how pretty it was on my skintone. Great favorites. Didn't realize how gorgeous Sable was, I want it!
Thanks for the feedback Michele. I am feeling more confident with my Bobbi Brown purchases just b/c I was not completely convinced on that makeup line or their brushes. The lady at the cosmetic counter told me that all their brushes, except for some that are synthetic, are made from goat hair. Again thanks for your input. And keep making those videos b/c we would be clueless w/o you.
Hey michele. Love your videos. I just have a question about the urban decay lush lash. Can i use those eye covers during the night on top of the lash treatment? Or will it ruin it?
you can buy the EXACT same oil (organic, cold pressed, etc) as the JM on Amazon if you seach Argan Oil. You can get 4ounces for $34. look around the Josie one is a HUGE waste of money. Also it is not hard to come by, it is sold by the gallon in africa and the middle east.
Hey Michele I was wanting to ask your opinion on makeup brushes. I want to invest in some really top quality makeup brushes and ones that look beautiful as well. I went to the Bobbi Brown counter to get my makeup done and I loved the look of the wooden handle on their makeup brushes, and I was wondering your thoughts on that particular brand of brushes. Also do you think their makeup is great for girls with an olive complexion similar to Mila Kunis coloring?
@balletaddict Hi love! I only own one brush from Bobbi Brown which is the bronzer brush and it is absolutely amazing! Its so lightweight and applies bronzer perfectly. I wish I knew more about them to recommend, but that is only one I have and have tried.....I think its safe to say that the rest of her line of brushes would be just as good! and Yes, her makeup is perfect for olive skin tones!
Cannot get enuf of Michele goodness. Thnx for the vid as always! love ur polish look today. ooh n i loved the pretzel snack..so yum...the culptrit of like 5lbs but so yum,!
Michelle! I just LOVE you and your videos! They're never too long and I never get tired of watching them! I get so happy when I see them in my subscriptions box! I wish you and your loved ones a very happy new year full of love, happiness, health, prosperity and all the good stuff! xoxo
@cocopinkmakeup1927 Happy New Years! I am terrible with resolutions so I never make them, lol. I dont know what I am doing for wedding makeup yet, but will definitely let you know what I decided to go with!
Hey Pretty - You know you can make the bracelets yourself. Just get the stretchable ribbon from a fabric store. ;-) Youtube has videos how to make it.
Michele, I'm a loyal subscriber and I also make elastic hair ties for a living! I have an Etsy shop, Mane Message, and would love to send you a few to try out. Mine shouldn't stretch out as much and wont arrive wet (gross!). I also sell sparkly ties that should hold up your hair better than the one you bought at your local boutique. Let me know if you're interested! Thank you!! Happy 2012!
@ManeMessage hi, may i know if it works for very thick hair? i like to use my hair ties to make buns with. which means i would usually loop it twice around the massive bun. can it withstand that? please let me know soon. very interested. all of my hair ties are dying! :(
@newrulefarah Yes! They should work with your thick hair without a problem. I have many clients with thick hair that love my hair ties. If they don't work for you I'd be happy to do a return too.
Agree about the benefits of Argan Oil. However the Eden Allure is a much better buy than Josie Maran. Since you got the Eden Allure for free, you may not be aware of this. I also recommend the Argan Oil from Taos Herb Company, an excellent product and very good buy.
Michele... try the Twistband hair ties, I LOVE them and have had NO problems with stretching out of shape and have had them for a few months now, and they have so many colors too choose from . I didn't like the ones from Sephora , they stretched out of shape too easily.
You are THE only person on YT who I can sit through videos of this length. I don't know what it is but I could listen to you talk all day. About anything.
hi michele, my december favourite would be you :-) i just started watching your videos a few weeks ago and really enjoy them, you actually give a lot of helpful advice, thanks a lot for that and happy new year!
hey michele. I have the sephora hair ties like the ones you have and they have never shrunk or stretched when wet. Hope you resolve your problem, but if not, then the sephora ones are awesome alternatives!
hey Michelle! Love your Videos..I look forward to them all the time..I know you were going to announce the winners of some contests..have you already? thanks..happy New Year :)
@msmakeupjunkie96 I don't announce them, but rather post their names in the description box of the contest video. I just find its easier and doesn't spam people's subscription box with announcements. All winners have been posted to date!
I've actually used the argan oil as a daytime moisturizer before and makeup applied beautifully over top. I just let it sit for a few minutes before applying my makeup. No breakouts either.
I agree about the short handled brushes. I discovered them by accident when Sigma sent me an e25 as a free gift with my order. I LOVE the Hervana blush and really want it! I tested it at Ulta a few days ago and am kicking myself for not picking it up lol. I also really like your cowl neck scarf. What a fabulous idea! Great color too!
I got one of those hairbands in one of my birchbox (i'm sure you can find the company on the site) and I've been using it every night since I got it (I think it was the sept box) and it hasn't stretched like that one.. maybe it was because they were wet.
I COMPLETELY agree with the love of short handle brushes. I have small hands and prefer short handle paint brushes along with short handle makeup brushes. The precision is also much better, because you have more control =D
I have some hair ties similar to those and mine have not stretched out. I would try throwing them in the washer & dryer and they may regain their shape!
i got the same hair ties a couple weeks ago. i've been using them a lot lately and i have very thick hair. it has never lost it shape. it might be because yours were wet? i just know they aren't supposed to lose their shape cause mine hasn't.
Hi Michele! Just a note: I found the latest colors from Essie...their Go Overboard collection for spring 2012. I purchased the color "armed and ready". Which is a gorgeous army green with gold shimmer...amazing! Just thought I would let you know...if you didn't know already. Love your videos! Monica
I have those elastics and as you use them they do stretch . The trick is to put them in the wash with your clothes and then in the dryer. I love them they curl your hair if you put it up we in a messy bun :)
FYI I checked online after you talked about the Josie Maran Argan Oil cuz it interested me and it's does say that you can use it as skin treatment and it can help treat acne. So there you go, you weren't falsely advertising! lol
A cheap alternative to the argan oils is Jojoba Oil. I use it as a moisturizer, hair oil, and put it in my hair masks. Using it as a facial moisturizer actually reduced my rosacea too!
i had the same style hair electastic from sephora theirs were very tight and did not stretch well, the original one i had was one i got in a birchbox and that one was awesome so I went back to their website and found out who made those and purchased a set of 6 and they are awesome and they do regain their shape well.
Hi Michele, I also have the Sigma E05 brush in one of their latest travel sets and I like it better than my regular sized one - but not so much because of the length of the handle but because it is pointier and more stiff. Have you noticed a difference in the brissles too or am I the only one ? I though it was a little strange that they would be so different... Happy new year and thanks for this video!
this doesn't relate to the video but i just wanted to say that you are one of the prettiest girls i have ever seen ! your hair is so so shiny and you have amazing skin! kudos to you for taking such good care of yourself :)
those hair ties do stretch out over time. I havent gotten mine wet so I dont know whats going on with that, but you can make your own for sooooooooooo much cheaper than they sell them for.
I find that I like short handled brushes, too! Maybe we can get Simone to sell them individually like she does with the long handled ones. I'd really love that!
funny, I was debating with myself whether you were wearing false lashes in this video or not because of how much longer they look than normal! That Urban Decay stuff really works!
have you ever considered filming your videos in your bathroom like you did with your hair blow drying video, i just feel like when you film in your closet it has a grey cast or something and we dont really see the true colors of the products =/
i just remembered when you told all of us that you weren't continuing making videos like a WHILE ago... and i just realized now that I'm seriously SO happy you decided to come back... i know this is random.. but I love your videos and you are just one of the most down to earth "gurus" out of all of youtube :) thanks so much i know that was random ahah!! HAPPY NEW YEAR
You are absolutely right about the shape difference in the lash curlers and its going to depend on your eye shape as to what works for you. I have tried many and the shu uemura is the only one that works for me and I have a similar eye shape as you.
i really want to buy a watch, but I don't know what brands are dependable besides Michele and Micheal Kors. I really wants a chunky kind of men's-watch looking gold watch. Any ideas of brands I could look at?
The lash serum things don't really make your lashes longer, they actually make your lashes stronger and more nourished like a hair mask would. That makes them break less and therefore, grow longer and fuller. I find that baby oil works really well too :)
Awesome favourites!!! I so wanna try the oil moisturizer you're showing becos I have really bad dry skins every morning, days, and night... It bothers me so much when putting on foundation. I literally have to add lotion on top of it.
@ange035 they are completely different products. Argan oil is a moisturizer, the seed oil is more like a serum / topical oil to help cuts/ burns/acne, bruises, etc.
If anyone is looking for argan oil, I recommend going to a middle eastern or north african market. Generally they have bigger bottles of the oil and for cheaper than Josie Maran or whatever other company. I'm half Algerian, and I grew up with argan oil being used for cooking, and my mom would mostly get it from middle eastern supermarkets. Hope someone finds it there!
my hubby got me jimmy choo for xmas which i love and i also i loved vera wang lovestruck so it was a toss up so i got jimmy.maybe for my birthday ill get vera wang.
try the emmy jay one. i dont think i spelled them right but i have one from a birch boz i wear all the time. also i think i heard if you get it wet and let it dry out it will shrink up but i duno about if you wear it while its wet. it may not go back.....
Hii Michelle I love you and love your videos. Please could you give my website a mention dontbeafraidbeheard.blogspot.comi it could change people's lives xxx
Lorraine (thecurrentcustom) wears those hair bands but by another company. I don't think hers stretches because she always wears them around her wrists. And the ones she buys - money goes to a good cause. She tried the Sephora ones and likes the other ones better.
Great vid! Love how personable you come across. I might have to splurge and finally try that UD lash thing. Lol when u said "that skeptic in me.... Hmmmm" cute! SkinPOREfection.blogspot.com

i got the same hair ties a couple weeks ago. i've been using them a lot lately and i have very thick hair. it has never lost it shape. it might be because yours were wet? i just know they aren't supposed to lose their shape cause mine hasn't.

That Eden Argan oil might be rancid since you have had it for so long. You might just wanna finish that bottle using it on your hair.

Hi Michele! Just a note: I found the latest colors from Essie...their Go Overboard collection for spring 2012. I purchased the color "armed and ready". Which is a gorgeous army green with gold shimmer...amazing! Just thought I would let you know...if you didn't know already. Love your videos! Monica

I have those elastics and as you use them they do stretch . The trick is to put them in the wash with your clothes and then in the dryer. I love them they curl your hair if you put it up we in a messy bun :)

FYI I checked online after you talked about the Josie Maran Argan Oil cuz it interested me and it's does say that you can use it as skin treatment and it can help treat acne. So there you go, you weren't falsely advertising! lol

A cheap alternative to the argan oils is Jojoba Oil. I use it as a moisturizer, hair oil, and put it in my hair masks. Using it as a facial moisturizer actually reduced my rosacea too!

i had the same style hair electastic from sephora theirs were very tight and did not stretch well, the original one i had was one i got in a birchbox and that one was awesome so I went back to their website and found out who made those and purchased a set of 6 and they are awesome and they do regain their shape well.

Hi Michele, I also have the Sigma E05 brush in one of their latest travel sets and I like it better than my regular sized one - but not so much because of the length of the handle but because it is pointier and more stiff. Have you noticed a difference in the brissles too or am I the only one ? I though it was a little strange that they would be so different... Happy new year and thanks for this video!

You are absolutely right about the shape difference in the lash curlers and its going to depend on your eye shape as to what works for you. I have tried many and the shu uemura is the only one that works for me and I have a similar eye shape as you.

The lash serum things don't really make your lashes longer, they actually make your lashes stronger and more nourished like a hair mask would. That makes them break less and therefore, grow longer and fuller. I find that baby oil works really well too :)

How does the Josie Maran Argan Oil compare to the Sibu Seed Oil?
ange035 1 month ago
@ange035 they are completely different products. Argan oil is a moisturizer, the seed oil is more like a serum / topical oil to help cuts/ burns/acne, bruises, etc.

If anyone is looking for argan oil, I recommend going to a middle eastern or north african market. Generally they have bigger bottles of the oil and for cheaper than Josie Maran or whatever other company. I'm half Algerian, and I grew up with argan oil being used for cooking, and my mom would mostly get it from middle eastern supermarkets. Hope someone finds it there!

Lorraine (thecurrentcustom) wears those hair bands but by another company. I don't think hers stretches because she always wears them around her wrists. And the ones she buys - money goes to a good cause. She tried the Sephora ones and likes the other ones better.
