 Every time I get to this video and I say it's that time of the month again, I think it's something about having a period It's not we're gonna go over what I'm loving this month Hi friends, I have a video for you today that is all about the things that I've been loving this month But it's also about the things that I have not been loving I had quite a few fails this month So I'm gonna get into that so that you guys can see but first if you're new to my channel I want to say a special welcome to you I hope that you do consider subscribing and don't forget to hit the bell icon because that is how you get notified of future videos That I have and of course to all of my faithful followers. I want to say thank you so much for all of your support We are as of this recording. We're about 500 away from 50,000 and I could not be happier about that number It's taken me a while to get there, but it's been a fun ride over 400 videos 400 and like 70 or some videos So if you want to know about anything beauty in the past type in my name and then type in the subject So Mrs. Melissa am hair Mrs. Melissa am skincare routine anything like that that you want to know about That you're wondering about in my past videos then you can be able to get it that way in the search So let's get into what I was loving in the month of October so that you can see the favorites and the fails right now So we're gonna start with some new skincare that I did talk about earlier in the month That has really impressed me and that I feel like is making a big change. These are two products right here This is an LED light handheld device It is red and blue both and then this is green tea fresh toner from isn't tree isn't tree is a brand that I've kind of fallen In love with I've talked about them a lot and their products But the green tea in conjunction with this LED light by the way, this is called light L-Y-T-E it basically is for skin rejuvenation and for helping to boost Collagen for helping to reduce fine lines and wrinkles and all those fun things that we get when we're over 40 But why I really like the green tea toner is that this will boost the efficiency or the efficacy How well it does ten times and that's a study that I learned off of penny from pence miss skin cares channel But for me, this really is doing a great job the two of them together I pay a lot of extra attention around my lip area because I have such bad vertical lines around my lip area And so I do this on both sides and even the Marionette lines right here are just so diminished I can't believe it. I'm worried about my forehead lines, too But those are like deep wrinkles from like rays in my brows or squinting or that kind of thing So I'm gonna have a harder time dealing with those but these right around here I just felt like we're showing my age really bad around my lips. So Using this I was getting good results But as soon as I introduced the green tea toner and used it 20 minutes before like the study said you want to put it on Fresh dry clean skin Let it dry and then go ahead and use this like you would normally do and this takes I think the timer on this is about three to ten minutes in each spot So I just kind of do it when I'm like at the end of the day We're watching TV or I'm reading or something and I just move it around a lot I wish I could afford one of those big ones. That's the mask over the head. I can't afford that It's like $450 or something like that But I really do enjoy this and I feel like it's making a huge difference in my skin and the lines and wrinkles And yeah, I can recommend both of those and really loving that this month So something else that I've really been loving this month is from City Beauty and this is the blue defense hydro gel This is a really good moisturizer, but you do need something over top of it That is occlusive this says that it can give up to 72 hours of moisture I live in a really really dry dry climate and in the winter when all this heat is on and it is dry outside Anyway, I mean we're talking like five eight percent outside you turn the heat on inside There's no percent of humidity by the way I do have behind me today and you can see that that is a humidifier a standing humidifier That I will make sure I link below this holds two gallons of water and I have been loving using that It's on my husband's side of the bed because he has really bad sinus problems But I'll make sure that I link that for you and here's Ali He just barked and wanted to see his mom So that humidifier is a really great humidifier for my husband because he has really bad allergies really bad sinuses And he just has a problem with having sinus headaches every morning I can put that in our room as soon as the weather starts to cool off and we'll have it running morning and night and It helps both of us so much with our sinuses and for me It's great for dry skin because I have super dry skin like I just said now. I'm gonna show you Ali. He's getting so dark He's dark and he's turning a little bit red and he's so big and I love this dog He's just he has to show up in every video. So he's wanting to go away and lay down and take a nap So bye Ali. Love you. Bye guys So I was talking about the city beauty blue defense hydro gel Now this is a fairly thick product. You know what it reminds me of is the clinic moisture surge I'm enjoying this to go underneath my other creams to hold a ton of moisture through that throughout the day So I can recommend that one, but I know that city beauty is a little bit expensive. They sent me all these products I'm loving these products, but I do realize they're expensive So please please please get on their email list because they have sales all the time I mean, I'm getting a sale thing every single week for something that they have in their line and then I want to talk about good molecules and their overnight exfoliating treatment if you have ever gotten a Sample or if you love Sunday Riley's good genes You put that on at night and in the morning your skin looks brighter and smoother the same thing with this That's the same exact product just a whole heck of a lot cheaper That's basically what the Sunday Riley good genes hasn't a few other questionable Ingredients in that one, but there's such good ingredients in this one including the lactic acid so you're getting that little bit of cellular turnover if you have a strong reaction to this meaning that if you Feel like you're super irritated the next day or if it's really stinging as you as you put it on That should go away in a couple of minutes if it doesn't go ahead and treat this like a mask on your skin put on a layer of it and then let it sit on your skin for 10 to 20 minutes and then rinse it off With water and then move on with the rest of your skincare and you're gonna find that you still have the benefits of it But if you have sensitive skin it's gonna work better for you because it's not sitting on there all night long Little tip there. That's what I do when I am having a really bad peel from my retin A I'll use this especially on the parts that I get really bad and this is usually the part I get really really flaky and really junkie with but I'll use this and then I'll rinse it off and then go on with my Other skincare and my skin is really livened up and that's what I really like about it It really does help the dullness and take off that dead skin layer So the pretty new skin can shine through and that's a bonus for me the neck elasticity catalyst from niad is Such a good product. I've really fallen in love with this this month. It I basically just put it on my neck area I don't even really put it on my decollete So neck area to about a third of the way up my cheeks right here to help with that sagging skin that you get So bad when as you age I do anyway The delivery system isn't great on this but I have had several of you say that the double size of this is in a Metal tube that you can squeeze so you might think about that if you don't like the delivery system on this However, I just store mine upside down and then you can just you know dot it on your finger It's a very thick consistency. It's the consistency of honey. I said this before but it doesn't go on like honey It's not thick like that. It has That little emollients that honey does that little, you know It looks like it and you put it on there and you start to rub it in you're thinking This is gonna be too thick But it rubs into your skin so quickly and that's what I love about it And as I'm working it in my skin starts to feel like silk and I think that is so great I just I really have been loving this I feel like it's doing a really good job of helping my gel achieve a more lifted look around my face right here So it's something that I'm gonna repurchase I know I am but this jar I use this every morning every night and I have hardly made a dent in this jar because you don't need a lot But now that I feel my hand after rubbing that in talking to you guys It's super silky and it just feels so good And it's just one of those products that I know it's sinking in instead of sitting on the top like so many Net creams do where it balls up after a few minutes and you're like who this is gross But this stuff is really sinking in so I know that you're getting the benefits of it I really do like it a lot and I would recommend that you go through skin store to buy this I'll make sure I link it below, but skin store always has sales So again get on their email list and you're gonna get a great sale on this now a couple of skin care items that I'm Really not impressed with at all. So the derma e firming DMA e serum with alpha lipolypoic Acid This is okay I don't like the fragrance of this it has quite a strong fragrance and I'm not a fragrance person in my skin care I want my skincare to just be just skin care and it does have like a lavender fragrance to it But the product itself I've gotten I used about half of it So I'm about halfway down here the product itself again I don't feel like it sank in and did that much for my skin This product is supposed to be firming DMA e is supposed to have that same effect that it's gonna lift your skin and give you a Firmer more youthful look to it. I don't feel like that's done even after using it halfway Whereas the niad I feel like I'm seeing results very quickly So this is one that I would pass on if I were you It's not one that is really doing much for my neck at all and also I got this last month I might have been the month before but anyway, this is the strivectin lip treatment You have what is supposed to be a serum on one side that you paint around your lips And then this is supposed to be a lip plumping gel or a lip pump plumping gloss that you use I've used this whole tube up and I've seen nothing different in my lips And it wasn't until I started using that LA LED light around them that I started to notice changes So this is one that I would tell you to pass on as well Okay So YSL gifted me this foundation through the octaline network. Let me read for you guys the YSL Touche-Cla all-in-one glow ox oxtin No, say something like that throw up on the screen here. I murdered that one sunscreen Broad spectrum SPF of 23 fresh. Do we make up natural medium coverage long lasting hydration and oil-free? Okay, I do feel like it's all of those things. This is a terrible color for me horrible color Br 30. I don't know exactly what color that is, but it's a bad color for me I do have another foundation from them, which is the all-hours foundation again That has the same sunscreen in it and this one is color BR 20 So BR 20 is super duper light for me. This is a heavier This is a heavier foundation and then the YSL Touche-Cla the all-in-one glow foundation is a little bit too Glowy dewy so even though I do have very dry skin I was finding that this was slipping around a lot But I'll tell you what if I put these two together Which I'm not a huge fan of this foundation at all either the all-hours But putting the two together not only does it mix to be my perfect color it mixes to be my perfect foundation It's what I have on today. It's what I've been wearing for a week I know that you're not gonna go out by both of these foundations But if you do have either one of these foundations and you found that it doesn't work on its own consider mixing the All-hours one with a more dewy foundation and then consider mixing the all-in-one glow With a more matte foundation and you're probably gonna love them something that is a new release that I'm really excited about And this will probably go into a get ready with me so you guys can see these are the new putty blushes from elf That they are expanding their putty line. They did the eye primers, which I was not a fan of but these blushes I am really liking Okay, so this one I have on today and then the other one that is a little bit more muted I wore this a couple of days ago So these do not have colors written on the jar anywhere But I will make sure that I put them up for you guys this one is such a pretty pink color and it just goes across your skin so nicely it has that same slip that The putty primer does but it still has the property in it that helps it to stick a long time on the skin So I just you know buff this out with my finger or with a stipple blush brush Not blush and it just looks so good on the skin I do have a lot of colors and you definitely can build these up So if you're a woman that has deeper skin You're gonna be able to build then build and build until you get what you want to on there And they do have a couple colors that are even deeper than these colors. So these are the two that I got Really enjoying both of them. I think that they are just so pretty on the skin If you're somebody that has aging skin and blush, it's just not your thing. Try a cream blush I think that you will be pleasantly surprised on how pretty they are on the skin And then if you want to you can layer a little bit of a luminous one on top of it for a multi-dimensional Look on your cheeks. So, you know, give these a try. They're not very expensive and I am in love with them I just think that it's a great product that elves come out with couple products. I'm not really in love with Nobody throws stones, but this Charlotte Tilbury blush. It's okay. It is not my favorite blush There is supposed to be a two-tone thing in here, but for this one in particular There's not a really big difference in the tones here So this is like a pink pink in the middle and then a peachy pink on the outside I don't know if I'm completely sold on these. I really like her powder and I like some of her other products But this one is just one that it's like it's a blush. It's not anything great It's kind of pretty. I'm not saying that it's not you can swirl around here and you get something, you know That you're gonna it's really light. That's what for sure. This is the elf blush Look how light that is. I don't feel like it stays around a long time So I'm not somebody that's gonna say go out and spend a ton of money on a blush like this Because I just feel like this is a blush that you can get a better version of at the drug store So one of those things I'm just like not really and then the new lash freak from Urban Decay I really had an affinity to this at the beginning because I guess maybe I didn't know what I was doing. This has the most weird Bristles I just don't even get what they're trying to do here. I don't get what this side is supposed to do This is the only side that you can come out lashes with and then it does have a few little gripper things right there on the Bottom of it. So the brush is weird It gets out a lot of product and then you kind of have to just run the product down and Really get the product off and I do have it on today And but I have to be really careful and really work with this and when I'm putting on mascara Even though I do usually rub off my wand a little bit I don't want to have to fuss with it so much that I you know get clumps and then have to separate it with The wand and keep worrying about that. I want it to build on itself I want it to be beautiful Just without a ton of work And this is not a mascara that you can do that with this takes more work And I'm willing to put into it and the other thing about it is that when you're paying this kind of price for this for a high-end Mascara I want it to just be something that is simple and it just goes on effortlessly That's not this mascara and then I know that so many of you know what Sydney Grace is who Sydney Grace their company is they are a higher and Eyeshadow company that oh my gosh, they make the most gorgeous eyeshadows in the pans the pressed eyeshadows But they also make a bunch of other products and this month. I would I tried out their liquid eyeshadows These are intensely beautiful. I am in love with these. I will make sure that I Put up on the screen what these are this first one is like a Champagne silver color and you can see how intense that is. I mean I put way too much on there You don't need that much What I do is I put a tiny bit on the back of my hand and then I'll go ahead and just dip my brush into it and Do it that way I don't do my fingers on this one because it can get a little bit messy And then this one is like a violet color. This is so beautiful both of these look at those Look at the shine on them and the reflect on them. Oh my goodness It's just one of those eyeshadows that really performs well now. I have tried so many liquid eyeshadows stila urban decay I've tried a ton of them from the drugstore mix essence L'Oreal I've tried so many but I have never had eyeshadows perform like this now. They are a wet eyeshadow It's a liquid eyeshadows So you're going to have to kind of build it up in very thin layers in order for it not to transfer on your upper Lid and it just gives the most beautiful intense color and I'm in love with it. Hi smuggers. You're back How you doing? You doing good? Anyway, I just I'm in love with these and for the price I think this is great You get way more product in here than you do from all those companies that offer liquid eyeshadows and the payoff Oh my gosh, the payoff is fantastic. So I'm in love with those and then lastly. Do y'all know who Sabrina is? Sabrina She is the most beautiful youtuber here. This woman has a gorgeous soul and a gorgeous spirit around her I love her. She's just amazing. So Sabrina did a fall lipstick video where she gave recommendations for the drugstore I had to go out and immediately buy some that she recommended So this is a l'Oreal duo that she wore in the video and um, I do kind of have it modified a little bit on my Lips today, but this is the colorish matte lip liner and this one is in curiosity killed the matte And this is a very burgundy color. It's got some purple in it It's a very deep color and what she did was she lined her lips with this and then really feathered it out And you know kind of muted it a little bit so you can see the difference I've kind of muted it on the bottom and then the top is just the really stark line of it And then over top of it. She did their lip crayon, which this one is the color no fig deal. They have the funniest names Okay, so this coupled with this. Okay. There it is together right there So that's a really stark line of it But you kind of mix these together And feather them together and you can get just the prettiest fall color that is like a really bright fuchsia But it's so pretty on the lip. I will go ahead and just put a little bit more on here So you can see how nice it is. I do have a gloss over top of it But this is a pretty pretty color just a beautiful fuchsia color And it just is one of those that I was fell in love with as soon as I saw it on her And then the duo together it just is like magic. It's just really really pretty so you get an ombre look on your lips So I've been loving that as well. I hope that you did enjoy all of these What was your favorite for the month of october?
