 Hey guys, it's Monica. You know I am I wanted to answer a couple of questions that I've gotten and You know, I wanted to let everyone know my thoughts on these two products but with everything that's been going on in the world today with What's happening over in Israel and the Gaza, you know, the Gaza Strip area and the West Bank and all of all of the turmoil and You know the things that it's just horrific some of the stuff that is happening all the stuff that's happening It's horrific, and I'm thinking does anyone really gonna care, you know about makeup or about, you know Sunblock is anyone really gonna care right now? but You know you've asked so I'm gonna do a quick video update. I had mentioned this past I don't know when it was now. It could have been Some time in the summer, maybe I had mentioned that I had gone to Unfortunate enough to have a cosmetic company store near me Actually, I have two and so if you don't have a cosmetic company store near you This might not You know be a super I think you can I think you can go online as well But anyways, I went to the cosmetic company store and I had picked up and they have these fabulous sales Right. I mean I can get some of the products that I really like. It's hit or miss Yeah, sometimes you go in there and it's you can't see anything But it is very much hit or miss but sometimes I'm super fortunate I'm able to pick up products that I love at a almost a drugstore price, right depending on the sales So 60% off and then you can have cute wines. These are in our outlet stores So I picked up last time I went and I talked about this because I was so excited about this I picked up the Estee Lauder Futurist Hydra. I think it's Hydra. Is it Hydra rescue? And this is an SPF 45. It's a foundation I picked it up at the cosmetic company store when Jay and I went up to Maine. I couldn't believe the price I had a coupon and I think gosh, I think it was like under $20, which to me is like drugstore So I thought I was going to get it and they had my color. I really in this cut in this brand I end up wearing pebble, which is me see Think pebble is three C two So I picked this up as the first time I've ever used it I also was on that same time picked up a bottle of my regular Estee Lauder double wear Which is the foundation I wear all the time or most of the time So I picked that up and I also picked up in other Estee Lauder foundation double wear This is the share a long wearing makeup Foundation it has an SPF. I think of 35 in it and they also had my color So this is definitely a share of color. So a share of foundation. I love the coverage I get with Estee Lauder. I love how it lasts all day and on my skin It works. It really does. It works really well for me. Now, sometimes when I use the double wear I do have to put a couple of drops of the squalene oil on my hand face oil and Mix it because sometimes it can be a little bit drying But really all depends on my skin. What's going on with my skin? This has been my foundation brand of choice I know there are some of you that Dislike double wear or Estee Lauder and there's some of you that probably love Estee Lauder But I really really like this brand on my skin now. I have got Lancome. I have this Lancome that I bought This is the lift makeup. It's supposed to make you look younger. I think I got this at the mall I know quite a few years ago. You can see probably two years ago. You can see the cover broke and had fallen I really like this a lot, but not as much as my Estee Lauder So the Estee Lauder double wear has been a tried and true for me And these the two that I tried this year and I'm thinking hmm am I gonna like them? So this Hydra one can give you a little bit of a glow So if you're oily, this might be too oily for you But if you're dry like me, you might really like it The coverage you can build it, but the coverage is more on a lighter coverage as is the share all day this one Oh my gosh. So if I'm not going anywhere special and I just want to you know, even out my face Sometimes I don't even wear foundation when I'm home, but I will I'll put this on I love both of these and again, I never tried them before I saw them at the cosmetic company store Perfect, I think for the summer with the SPF factor that to me was a huge huge benefit I really like it. I think having an SPF both of these have SPF in it I think it's so important for anti-aging Just it's so important and it isn't enough, right? You have to have a Found it you have to have sunblock underneath it, but anyways, I'm so glad I bought them I'm so glad I took a chance. I absolutely love them. Now on my face right now Isn't none of these on my face right now is the Hydra luminous. This is the number seven moisturizing foundation This was actually sent to me quite a while ago from one of you one of my subscribers and I'll tell you I have worn this a lot, especially in the summertime This is in the shade wheat and I think my skin looks a little bit darker So in the summertime, I really like this because it makes me feel like you have a little bit of a color And this also has SPF in it So this is what I have on today Just because I wanted to play around with it. I wanted to see what it looked like on camera It's been a long time and also I'm trying to save these However, I'll tell you the the when you can get them at say the cosmetic company store They're just as Affordable as drugstore. They really are especially with the the ticket prices and you know the coupon prices I should say because that makes a big big difference So I have been wearing A sunblock after I do my skincare. I do sunblock every day and I love love love the Well, the trader Joe is my sunblock of choice, but the super goop for the face It's like a primer. It just kind of fills in your pores a little bit It just and your makeup and for me for my skin my makeup goes on super nice. I've tried many other Sunblocks and or sunscreen and many of them when I put my makeup on my foundation on They don't they don't play nice. I can get away with it sometimes, but they don't but it's usually a little bit It takes a little bit work But the super goop Awesome, right? I love love love it super expensive The trader Joe and I don't have one to show you because I'm all out and I wish I'd kept my empty But the trader Joe's if you can get them At the store is like I think it's like under eight dollars for the and almost identical To the super goop in my opinion. I use the super goop on my face. My foundation goes on beautifully I use the trader Joe my set my foundation goes on beautifully Now I Have been really mesmerized by the elf elf has come out with their son Touchable they have two versions of this. They have a glow Which I did not buy but I did hear from Sheila who did buy it and she said it just was way way way way way Too glowy. I didn't buy it. I did get this. This is the invisible sunscreen. This is the everyday one It has a bought a broad spectrum. I think it's 35 and In my opinion This you shake it up. It's a little bit more if you shake it up good It'll come out nice and thick, but it's a little bit more You know slick I think just a tad bit But when I put this on all over my face and I let it dry in I put my my foundation on it Reacts the exact same as the super goop It has I think the same Ingredients as the super goop and the or close to the same ingredients as the super goop Has and as the trader Joe has I'm not saying this is going to be the exact do but if your skin is a combo skin or more dry and I didn't want to try that glowy one because I don't want to glow But if and if you like the super goop and then if you like the trader Joe's and if you're a mature woman, right? You know you need to have that even any woman. You need to have that sunblock on all the time This stuff surprised me now. I think this is $14 It's 1.7 ounces So it really really surprised me I think it might be a little bit smaller than the super goop for sure and probably the trader Joe's I have to really compare the sizes, but of course the super goop is just way way more money So $14 1.7 ounces Works awesome on my skin Sometimes you can catch this on sale while not anywhere you want you can catch this on sale Really great thing that I also wanted to try the The setting spray So I use the morphe setting spray and I don't have it in here I have a whole box of it though. I haven't taken out but I have another one I use the morphe SPF 30 broad spectrum sun setting spray and I use that as my setting spray So I have whatever sunblock in my foundation Whatever sunblock underneath my foundation and then my setting spray has that in it While more well elf came out with their version of it. It's 45 SPF. So the morphe is 30 SPF This is 45 SPF. It is also $14 I think it's two ounces. So it's much smaller than the morphe the morphe is 3.4 ounces I think the morphe is $18 So you do the math and you figure out what you what you you know, what you really like But the most important thing is you can hear this new shake. It's got little beads in it You shake it up good. You spray it on. It's just going to give you a little bit of extra protection for sunblock on top and Act as a setting spray. So I'm really liking this although I will tell you I think the morphe even though You get more Bigger product and just for a couple of dollars more and depending on if you have to catch it on sale The morphe is a pretty good buy, but I love the fact that this is a higher SPF So anyways, I'm all about that ever since I had my most surgery. I'm just I'm like all about sun protection You guys know, I love the beach. I love going out to the ocean and In all of that, but I just I'm always on hunt for something that's going to really work for my skin So I wanted to give you that report because You know, some of you asked how did I end up liking the the foundation because when I bought it I kind of did a little mini haul on it And I will go back to the cosmetic company store and I will buy this if I see it Especially in my shade because to me even there was a it was more moisturizing it to me is absolutely a beautiful finish Not quite as heavy as the double wear I mean, but you can build it up, but it beautiful beautiful finish and it had the SPF in it I really like it so highly highly recommend that especially if you have a cosmetic company store This one the share all-day double wear has SPF 2 I would I'll buy I'll buy this one before I buy this one, but I would definitely purchase both of these again Really like them really like them if you're a double wear person and you've not tried them You might want to you might want to consider now my number seven This week color like I said is a little bit darker on me. So I'm just kind of playing around with it But I've always liked number seven. So when I compare drugstore, it's always been the number seven Is what I've compared because I never really, you know I would do the Maybelline cover girl all those other foundations and I never found one That I really like that didn't settle into my cracks on my skin and make me look older And I don't want to look older, right? I don't I'm 69. I don't want to look older. So anyways, I just wanted to give you up that update and I Know times aren't good, right? I mean, we're all really worried by what's happening out there in the world and it's It's scary. It's scary But yeah, we still have to take care of ourselves, right? We still do so I'm not trying to be insensitive by talking about makeup, but sometimes we also need a little bit of a diversion And to think about other things. So hopefully hopefully that works So thank you guys so much for watching. I appreciate every single one of you Please thumbs up the video leave me a comment. I would so so appreciate it you guys Stay safe and have a wonderful wonderful rest of your week
