 Good morning, I'm Mary Ellen and today I'm going to share with you what has made me happy in the month September October and November so far and I do have some makeup for some of the makeup lovers out there Allie Glynes has a channel and she has been on YouTube for a long time. I don't watch her regularly But because there's not enough hours in the day, but I would she's lovely She is such a good good person She loves lipstick and came out with her own line of lipstick and It's called raw v. Beauty. I believe it's our avie beauty and that means Delighted in French. She loves lipstick as much as I do as soon as they came up for sale She has three right now and the one I'm wearing is tulip and I want to show you how easy they are to apply I love the formula. I've probably had it on about an hour and a half, but it's a slender tube Keeps a nice tip and you don't really even need a mirror to put it on I'll apply some more because I probably you know, I just want to and My trick with a lot of lipsticks if I remember every 30 minutes or so Just to rub my lips together. It'll stay for a long time. I'm gonna go ahead and swatch this on my hand Okay This is what I'm wearing today and that is tulip and this is Dahlia and They're both just beautiful and comfortable and I think they're just sold on her website And they're $22 a piece and I'm gonna go be doing some testing with what trying to get down to what my very favorite Lipsticks like one two and three But I can tell you I already really love this So I want to congratulate Ali and I will put a link to her channel to the video Where she announced it and I think you'll be able to see what a lovely person she really is. She's a New mother in any way that was my very first thing The second thing I love this sold Asian arrow The orange I think that's the boom-boom cream, but I like it in the cream I like the mist and I love the bath gel Well, I had some that came in the blue and I don't know the name of them in the blue But I didn't care for it at all But they came out with a pink set and I think this is Beige of floor Love the scent and I ordered one for myself And I don't usually order from Sephora just because I don't think their point system is really as good as Ulta Just on my side of the family. I've got six grandsons I was talking to them the other day and all but one But I already know he has a girlfriend and I asked him if any of them had girlfriends that were Christmas present worthy Well, a few of them did so I went ahead and I ordered quite a few more of these Just to make sure that I have a gift for them So and if if they end up not having a girlfriend I'll just have more that I can enjoy and use this has the the spray the bath gel and the cream I just like the scent and I'll put it on my hands or on my wrist or whatever I just like the scent and and it makes me happy So I've got those and I was very pleased I ordered these before they had their their false sale and I Could have saved 10% But I just wanted to make sure that I had them and I had the same things and when I was on the website from Sephora I've wanted to try some rare beauty products and I love it when they have minis and This is rare beauty blush and glow and it has two blushes and two highlighters Well, these are the warmer ones and sometimes not very often But occasionally I'll kind of need to warm up a look a little bit because I definitely look better in cooler colors shades what I love these You just put I put like dot dot dot and I put it on my cheek and I was brave I'll show you what the foot looks like Just like that and if I put a drop there Let's see if it'll work. Okay, I put it on earlier and I thought it was really pretty So I love it any time you can get a mini of anything and I'm really happy. I purchased it I like it and I like I said I love minis Well, this is because of glitzy fritzy what I purchased and I've had this for a while Before I started YouTube after my children were up on their own and they're 46 and 48 I always loved cosmetics, but once I didn't have all the expenses All the expenses you have racing children I bought more expensive cosmetics and land land comb. We call it land comb in southern, Illinois Was probably my favorite. I They had a may I make-up remover that was like no other it was Wonderful, and I always made sure I had it. It was expensive, but it was worth it Well, Mary has sworn by that. It's I think it's by facility is what it is and Since I just buy cruelty free makeup I quit buying land comb and hopefully eventually it'll all work out and I can be back doing that But there has never been and I make-up remover that has been anywhere close to it and Mary tried this from Elf It's the elf off makeup remover holy hydration Well, it took me of several months to need to need it because my makeup I make up it just washes off when I wash my face at night So I don't really need and I make up remover but the other day I was going somewhere and I put on a cream eye shadow and I thought well I just kind of buff it in a little bit more and the more I was buffed it in the more vibrant and shiny It was and I definitely did not want a shiny look So I got one of my little quarter of a she-shadow cotton. I went in and it removed it perfectly I had tried I had some bioderma that I tried on it because I didn't want to take all my makeup off And I do have powder on my face today and blush and of course mascara So that night what I decided to do to see if it would take off my mascara easily. Oh my gosh It did I might at some point. I haven't used a waterproof mascara for a very old right seven years so I might at some point try a waterproof again and See if it'll take it off, but I think it will But Elf is coming out with some good products and I'm glad I got this For several years. I used to be like a platinum and then a diamond member of Alta It you there's benefits at every level. Well the last couple years. I haven't I've just been a regular person who gets emails from them and I was looking at my points because I really value their point system and I saw that Like four hundred and some points were removed and I thought hey, I haven't been keeping up with this I need to get serious. I don't even know if they have a name for a regular person It's not platinum and it's not diamond But I read where your points expire and this was a couple of months ago. So I decided I Was gonna wait until my birthday month because I knew I'd get two times points and October was my birthday month So I kind of started making my Christmas list and things that I wanted Well, if you go into go altar.com and you sign in You'll you click on ultimate rewards and that'll tell you how many reward dollars you have and if you go scroll down They'll have other offers. So I can only show you two products because My girls are finding out what they're getting for Christmas from watching my videos and telling one another So I can't tell you but one thing I can tell you about is shampoo. They had five times points on Kenra and I like Kenra and I like living proof. Those are two of my favorite brands. I bought a restorative shampoo and A thickening shampoo and you know truck just to change it up just to see if I'd like it or not It's been my Experience that even though the shampoos are a lot more expensive I think these were like twenty dollars and ninety-nine cents apiece, but I got five times points But anyway, I don't use nearest much shampoo and the older I get the more careful I have to be with my hair So that's the one thing I can show you I can tell you that I've got my paper right here. I usually don't So I got five times points on Kenra plus my two times points And there were some more items that I ordered from Kenra and then the next thing I noticed They had five times points. Now this all makes sense and just a minute. They had five times points on all palettes Not I mean eyeshadow Face, you know all different kinds of palettes and there was one that I love. I absolutely love And it was it's ninety dollars Some of you may guess what it is that I truly didn't need it because I have most of the components for it But five time point five times points. I ordered two of them Well, I ended up spending over three hundred dollars and I got a hundred and thirty one dollar reward points It ended up being forty one percent off of Items that weren't on sale. I have done I've done videos for years And I just hadn't really seen any good deals on points recently So I hadn't been able to share that with you So now I am a platinum member and my points never expire like right now I have twenty two hundred points and they're worth a hundred and thirty one dollars It it's very complicated to understand exactly what points are worth But if you think it's best if you can spend them a hundred and twenty five dollars at a time And I will order from Amazon and I will use these points and like to me It's free money because I would have spent money there anyway So anyway that really made me happy and if you want to know what palettes I bought just mention it below and I'll let you know after Christmas is over Well, you know, I like built bars. I like it because there's this protein. It tastes good It tastes like candy to end up set my stomach I was eating built bars for a year before I inquired if I could be an ambassador and Because I now I have a 10% discount Well, I usually get samples because you all use my discount code and they sent one and I thought oh my Gosh, I don't think I'm gonna like this at all because I don't like all of them But that's a matter of taste this one was called cinnamon roll in the minute. I took a bite I'll show you how big it is There it is. I thought They hit the jackpot. I love cinnamon. I love cinnamon rolls and They just keep knocking it out of the park some of the this may be available now It may not be but if you go in and you sign up for emails That you'll get emails and sometimes they'll stack them. They'll you like you'll get 10% off and 10% off more if you use my code I mean they have special deals since but I wanted to share with you that I Absolutely loved the cinnamon roll and it helps keep me away from the sweets and I just eat when I eat one I just eat one. I don't ever have any more than that and I'm not gonna talk about grammar anymore Because I'll tell you I never read my replies to you and nine times out of ten or eight or whatever I will type like your hair. I will type you hair for some reason. I don't get that are in there If I read my replies to you, I would never I would never send them So I am not gonna talk about grammar anymore. I think it was in my September favorites I mentioned a few shows that I watched I haven't been watching a whole lot of TV And I did watch something that was hard to watch and I had to act like it was not real But since I worked in a hospital for 31 years They had and I think it was on Netflix, but at the name of it was five days at Memorial It was about Katrina and the hospital and it really it really really bothered me And I think it I mean it's not anything for any enjoyment But I found it to be very interesting But I did download or sign up for Apple TV because I wanted to watch the morning show I'm not I watched the first two seasons I think it was and I'm not caught up with the rest of it, but I've enjoyed it If something gets my attention, I'm in for it because if I'm not thinking about anything else But what's on television?
