 Hi, I'm Mary Ellen and today I'm going to talk about what I think about the iRestore Professional hair growth helmet that I purchased over four months ago I want to talk also about the first concealer that I've tried that I have liked in about five years and Nothing was sent to me This is a hundred percent things that I've paid for or given to me by somebody and the concealer was given to me by My sister, but anyway, I want to talk about that and of course there's going to be Some chit chat at the end. That's kind of how I roll and last video. I forgot to mention what palette I bought my girls for Christmas and several of you ask and I will show that it toward the end of the video Most of my viewers watch me regularly So I don't want to repeat a lot of things So what I'm going to do is I'm going to put a card what they call a card You can click on it and like see it later or a link to the video when I Started using the iRestore why I purchased it and so on and so forth. I will put that link below My mother was not a vain woman at all But it really really bothered her when she started losing her hair She died when she was 89 and I think around in her mid 70s Her hair she started losing. Well, I turned 70 in October and I've always been Kind of proactive when it comes to hair loss I had that good healthy hair Until I was probably 57 or 60 and then I started losing it and then it would I'd maintain it But I've just kind of always been on a quest Not to get my hair to grow quicker But to see if I can get my hair to be a little thicker So I figure if I can do it at this age it might be helpful to someone else I started using this helmet and it's what I'm going to call it on September 1st And I have used it faithfully every other day since so I've had over five months of use using this Some months it's the even days of the month and some days it's the odd days But it's really easy for a slacker like me just to look at the calendar and know this is what I'm going to do it It's comfortable. I'm sure I am not ready to recommend it. I I still have A long way to go at least Six more months before I know if this really does work when I first started using it I didn't feel comfortable walking around with it Because it was a little too tight and it left indentations in my forehead Well, one of you told me that they make smaller bumpers and it has bumper pads and this is the larger ones And this is the small ones Well, I took out one of the larger ones and put in a small one just one and it fits very nicely It fits well enough that I felt comfortable attaching the battery So this is all I have to use I have I can put this on the belt clip it on this Is magnetized and you just charge the battery and it will last two weeks of using it every other day Easy when I ordered this in in august. I didn't know that I was going to be having a pacemaker implanted on november the 7th I think I would have waited, but that's okay Often when people are under anesthesia general anesthesia where they're intubated A lot of times you do some people suffer hair loss and it seems to happen two to six months after You have been under general anesthesia and I was under for three and a half hours I have not noticed any more hair loss than normal. So that's kind of a factor in here That's why I'm willing to wait Till 11 months because you can get your money back and I'll talk about that in a minute I can get part of my money back I had my roots touched up I get them touched up every three months and I go to the same hairstylist that I've gone to for 30 years So she has been checking my scalp She said that I had all over my top of my head in the back I had growth consistent with right at five months But it wasn't a lot, but I had it all over what she noticed and I noticed too and I really don't like Is this area right here is growing and it is thicker I'm used to having and I'll put some pictures in anybody that knows me knows I've always had this little area right here That doesn't grow and I don't have to do anything with it. I like it. It's been my hairline It's been the same hairline. I've had since I was a little girl But now I have to do something with it and it is much thicker And you can kind of see how it'll stand up right here because it has more hair Now the hair rat right here is normal for me I think that I get from my face mask from my omnilux mask I think it helps that area and also dermarollin. I'm still doing everything the same Now in the last 10 days, I've seen a little bit of promise But not enough to brag yet Anytime I film a video. I never have on root cover-up You know, there's all sorts of products you can do to dab on your roots To make it to cover gray and also to cover a light scalp I did that in the very like 11 years ago when I was filming to start a filming video I bought the Joan Rivers great hair day and I loved it because you just could dab it on your part And it made your hair look thicker But once I started that quest to find products that would make my hair thicker I quit doing that And I hate to say but sometimes, well, I won't say it I just better not say it. I'm not going to have any before or after pictures. This area is getting Longer too thicker, but I would say right now it's 50 50 50 percent that I will keep it It has a one-year guarantee To get part of your money back And it has a two-year guarantee on the actual helmet. I have the like I was talking about I have the omnilux mask that I use on my face and I know I could put that on top of my head too But it isn't it's not the same as this and I'm going to read what the light source is and how many diodes And the bulb in the iris store helmet it has 82 lasers and 200 LEDs the mask has 66 bulbs 100 which are 132 leds Half of them are red half of them are near infrared And the wavelength on the helmet was a little it was like 650 Versus the mask which was 633 And both of them have a two-year guarantee on the product and like a year guarantee on the controller The which I think is really weird. I really do believe in red light therapy. I'm not familiar I know there's a ton of other light therapies But the only one that I'm really familiar with is the red light therapy the near infrared light there lights And I'm familiar with him from way back in the day in nursing But I told you I would update you and I will probably do this again In three months. I do like to talk about how much it cost. I bought the I bought the battery Which I didn't need but I'm glad I have it now because I do use it And it cost 961 Everything to get it to me. And I think I used a discount code From tamra from tamra's timeless beauty. I'm pretty sure I did And I got it for 10 off, but I don't have a discount code. I don't have an affiliate link I don't know if it's going to work for me. So I'm not going to contact them But if it's 961 of my $40 and 4 cents, that's what it would cost monthly. And then if you divide the 961 by 104 weeks, that would be 924 a week That's how I try to figure anything in the grand scheme of things, you know If you need to if you want to save money, anytime I want something that is larger I want to know what it's going to really actually Cost me on a monthly a weekly balance even though I had to pay for it. That's what it's worth I'm just interested in that because I don't spend any money On facials. I go to my hairstylist four times a year That's that's the only money that I spend externally for any type of personal care Yesterday, I demonstrated this concealer that I purchased. No, I didn't purchase it This was my sister's and she ordered it. I first heard about it from Monica McGillicuddy And she loved it and I thought and I'm not I really haven't had a really good taste in my mouth For concealers probably in about five years because to me it always brought attention to the areas that you didn't want to have attention to I'm gonna go ahead and put this film in and then I'm going to talk about it I think this is as up close and personal as I can get And I want you to see how really dark this area is. I have absolutely no makeup on except for lipstick But I because I wanted to show you how deep this is Here is the product I'm talking about It's by fiera and it's a concealer And the shade is natural beige. I want to show you how little this takes This is a tool that I bought because of laura from laura ray beauty used to be shake-up makeup I take this And get The smallest amount that I can And I think you know, that's probably too much because that's okay So I have this in on here. So I'm going to put it on my hand And there it is right there then I'm going to kind of pat it there Then I'll take this And put it here And here And this is the angie brush. I think it's uh A 506 it's a concealer brush that I love and I just take that And I'm not even using a mirror. So I'm not sure how good I'm doing right now I'll look in the mirror But I just kind of bounce it in If there's anything left I take it over And I think it's done a real good job of covering that up Since I wear a c-pap I've been getting some little red spots where the c-pap goes And so if there's anything left on my hand and there is a little bit, I'll just take my brush and I'll Dab it where it needs to go And work it in So this is the first concealer I have used probably in five years that I liked I really do like it if my sister Once is back, of course, I'm going to give it to her The the shade she bought was neutral beige. She didn't like it. So I thought well, I'll give it a try I keep what I need right in this box Here's that little silicone brush also Like I have this tool in there. I don't use it on fingernails But this will take the product from the top also if I squeeze this out too much comes out That's why I go in and get what product I want because it would just be wasteful and it would be a mess I just want to use what I need nothing more nothing less. I'm Pretty well that way on most things I don't have to powder it it lasts all day. It does not get in my using the way I've been doing it. It doesn't get in my fine lines and wrinkles And I just dab it today. I have on foundation. I have on the it's cc glow Then I think that's what it is That normally what I do I just dab it on my red spots from my dog on seapap machine And it I just blend it in with that brush and I don't have to put on foundation And it makes me a happy camper And here is a picture of the ambient palette from hourglass that I purchased For the girls for two girls. That was one of their gifts and I really wanted it, but I could not I could not Do it. I just thought I've gotten quite a few hourglass is a magical powder My favorite blush of all time is the hourglass Mood exposure. I have it on today It's just perfect any of their powders just make you look a lot better. I need to use it all over my face But those that's what I bought them and I tell you can use it for eye shadow You can use it for so many different things You can even put your finger on it if you want a little bit of frost on your lipstick You can dab it on there a bit. I just think there's something really special about hourglass powder And whether it's blush or powder, I haven't tried anything else other than I do like their lip gloss It's expensive, but I do like it. I was able to get together with my family at Christmas I'm going to put a picture in You can see me in the middle And the one in the gold sweatshirt is my son Jeremy and next to him is my daughter Gretchen She's in a green shirt and I remember telling you that I had asked my grandsons, which on my side There's six the ones that had girlfriends. I said are they Christmas gift worthy? And they said yes, and they were more than worthy Everybody was there except for Jim and my grandson who goes to college away His girlfriend wasn't able to come she came down later But and of course I've gotten to meet her and Enjoyed her but it was it was wonderful and hopefully next year. It'll be even better Because Jim will be able to leave the house We still don't know anything about the potential treatment But I will let you know probably in writing underneath this video or the next video What the plan is my plan is to continue doing Videos every other sunday like I have been the last couple of years Hard to believe I used to do two a week But if something would happen and I can't upload a video I will go back to the last video that I uploaded And I will write right in the beginning of that information that you know You can just see at the top of the page what's going on But because I will be fine.
