 Good morning. I'm Mary Ellen from the channel Mary Ellen after 60 and I'm here today to review some items and also share with you the today's special value from QVC This isn't sponsored. It Cosmetics sends me the items. It's going to be on the today's special value that will air on March 30th And I always give them away. Either I own them or I reorder the item for myself So I'm going to go ahead and get started and show you what they have First of all, I really like the way this came it came in a really substantial bag Instead of a box and I appreciate that I'm not sure if how the orders from QVC will come but I'm going to show you what's in here And then I'm going to demonstrate it because I do have an area of my face. I don't have any of this on so inside the bag are two it It celebration foundation powders two of them my shade is medium and The heavenly luxe flat top brush and I already own both of these So I'm going to demonstrate how it works In fact, I own two of these brushes Very very dense a lot of people use these for liquid foundation I don't when I use a liquid foundation. I don't I use my fingers But for powder foundations, I always use a brush and here's what the it celebration foundation looks like and Here's mine in medium. I Didn't apply anything right here because I wanted to show you how this works and I'm going to have to get a bigger mirror I'm going to bounce my brush in the powder and then bounce it on my face I don't have on anything underneath it. I don't have any concealer or primer And I'm going to look and see if I covered it and then I'm going to go right up here And I'm just going to bounce it and for me the bouncing technique works Because I do have some large pores in this area and that's how I get it in If I want to get close to my eye any full brush that's partially dense will work And I'll just go in and get the product and put it right here and I'm always pleased with the results I've been wearing a lot of powder foundation recently and I'll tell you what got me started back doing it a couple of years ago Melissa 55 said when her skin is a little dry She likes to use a powder foundation and buff it in and I thought to myself Well, I only use it when my face doesn't have that you know the dryness that you get sometimes from retin A And I tell you what I started doing it and she was right so in a lot of my videos I wear powder foundation in life. I wear powder foundation This is from light to full coverage. The less dense the brush is The lighter it is. I like the finish and I'm gonna go ahead and put some blush on because I just realized I didn't have any on but I'm just gonna use the Milani I'm gonna use the same brush that I used for my powder and I'm just going to kind of stamp it in and I get good luck with just kind of stamping in my products. I call it. Well, I guess it's I'm just kind of bring it all around. I Don't have any shimmer. I don't have any anything else on I Do not know how much this is going to be and I will put it really high up So you'll be able to see once I find out a lot of times. They'll do early releases And this will go up as soon as the early release goes out So I can't tell you if it's a good deal or not But what I can tell you is the cost this brush retails for 48 dollars The powder retails for 36 So if you add two of these and the brush, it's going to be a hundred and twenty dollars plus That's the value of it. The Celebration Foundation doesn't have any Sunscreen it's just strictly a powder foundation and you can also use it with a fluffier brush If you want to put powder over your foundation. So now I want to talk about the Tati Blendifuls for those of you who don't know Tati is a huge huge channel she has About millions of subscribers and she created something called the Blendiful and I will talk about price first There are two for $18 a small one and a large one and like with shipping and handling It was 20 some dollars to get them here and I ordered them the minute they came out Tried them with foundation this one right here And I truly almost liked it as much as putting it on with my fingers In fact, I thought I'd found a better way to do it. It really did a nice job You're supposed to be able to do your whole face by manipulating this the sponge and the blender Well a good friend of mine Mary from the channel glitzy fritzy had ordered this and Her script became a part of the edge and I thought well mine won't do that because I'm not tough I'm not as hard on things as Mary is in fact I'm very gentle and I take really good care of my products. Well on the fifth washing Mine came apart. It's glued. It's not sewn So I did a blanket stitch all the way around it It's disappointing to me But what it did it made me start thinking about cosmetic puffs This little square one right here. I wish she would sell these alone This one has not come apart. It is so nice to be able just to If you just want to touch up an area of your face This to me was more of a winner than the large one and it has a little Ribbon here, which you can easily change sides if you want needed to do the other side I've washed this. I think I washed that five times before it split This hasn't split at all and I probably washed it ten times So I don't know if it's glued or not, but it hasn't come apart It and also with the toddy blend of all I washed it by hand. I didn't put it in my washing machine I washed it very gently. I pressed it I used hot water and soap the type of soap I used was the black African soap Old cleansers that I did not like facial cleansers or shampoo that I was using at the end of but I was very gentle with it So because I ordered those it made me think about other puffs And I went to Amazon and I ordered three of these and I think they were around six dollars I don't know. I've washed this probably ten times But didn't use it that much. I just wanted to see if it would come apart and It hasn't so just take that for what it's worth But it did make me realize that sometimes these powder puffs, you know from years ago just might be the thing You know, I've had a thing with makeup erasers Well, I have found my absolute favorite and some of you have received them when you've won giveaways These were the small ones that I talked about first and here is the new ones that I got and these are These were like 10 for maybe 12 or 13 dollars If you all have received them in your packages, let me know. I love these. I This is one that's been washed and used a bunch. This is a brand new one and I love them. They're like perfection for me. What I do at night I I warm this up. I put it on my face and I get off my makeup and Then I cleanse my face with just with less purity made simple than I used to use and then I wash this out by hand And I wash it really well. I either use Shampoo that I'm not fond of or the African black soap and he could bar soap and I set it on top of my purity and it's dry the next day and then I always smell it If it smells good, it's usually clean, but I've been real pleased with these I also as always if you're still here, this is going to be a giveaway and what I'm going to do I'm going to give away that one of that celebration foundation compacts with the brush and I'm also going to give away the celebration foundation Compact and you have the option if you want my brush So what all you have to do in the comment section if you want if you only want them the new brush and This powder just in your comment use a word first If you want the celebration foundation and you might want my brush You can let me know when we when the winter comes up Just use a word second in your comment and you have to be 18 years old or older Be subscribed to my channel or be a frequent commenter.
