 must have Amazon products. I'm so excited to bring you some really great Amazon products. And what I wanted to do in this video is not only bring you new things I've discovered, but I thought I would throw in here a handful of products that I use daily. They're not products that I am just sharing with you because they're the hottest and greatest things. They're the things that every single day I'm going to use them in one way or another. So I'm going to put those in here for you as well. Hello everyone, my name is Melissa. I'm 55 years old and I love all things makeup, skincare, beauty and fashion. I love to be able to bring you really fun finds and things from Amazon are so fun for me because usually I can get into the Amazon app and kind of get lost and then I find things that are just absolutely fantastic. So for me, it's really fun to be able to share those with you before we get started. I always like to share with you what I have on for atop myself because I get asked every time and since everything that I have on today is from Amazon, fun to be able to share with you. This is a cold shoulder with the neat crisscross detail on that cold shoulder t-shirt that has a pretty deep v-neck. And I like that this is a little bit more form fitting of a t-shirt. If you like it to be a little bit looser you might want to size up. I did get this one in a small and I do wish that I had gotten it in a medium. It does come down mid-hip, almost covers the booty and the weight of it is just fantastic going into summer, super lightweight material, very stretchy, extremely soft. I love that too. I will make sure that I take and put the earrings on here as well. This is a filigree earring that I just think is so pretty. I love dangle earrings anyway and I love silver as well. So those are great. All of my rings, I also get these from Amazon except for of course my wedding ring. My rings are sterling silver and this one is a blue moonstone. This one has multicolor in it and then this one is a London blue topaz. I love these so much and then I will also link for you my fingernails. I'm wearing press on nails these days. I get a lot of questions about press on nails and wanting me to do a tutorial. I probably will do a short about it. Also, I found these gorgeous beauties. Oh my goodness. Let me just slip this on so you can see. I found these and they're super lightweight. They are simulated stone but they are so pretty and they come in so many colors. I had the hardest time choosing what colors I wanted to use and I finally settled on this kind of purple with the blue and a little bit of turquoise in there. They're so pretty. I absolutely love them but they do have just a ton of different colors that you can choose from. So this is a gorgeous earring that I was super heavy to find, not heavy at all. I don't wear heavy earrings. If I'm ever recommending an earring to you, you know that they don't tug on your ear lobes and you're not gonna have a problem with that. All right, next up are these two dual sided brushes. Now, my very favorite brush that I probably have used of all time is the Hourglass Dual Sided Brush. It is just such great quality and I reach for it every time I'm doing my makeup but I'll tell you that this brush, this comes in a set of two. So you get on this brush right here, you get almost like a buffer that is like the IT Cosmetics Foundation Buffer. So that one is great. You can also use this one to do your concealer. It will buff out your concealer as well. And then on this side, it's a little bit of an angle, a little bit more of a fluffy one. I did use this one for some powder. That's why the powder's flying everywhere on it. But this one is really soft as well. So you can get it into this area right here if you want to do your blush with that angle. A lot of people love to do that. You can buff in any powders with this or you can just use it for an all over luminizer, whatever you want. But this one is the reason that I wanted this so bad is it's pretty darn close to the one from Hourglass. And I will say that the one that is on this side that is the smaller brush on the Hourglass is a little bit more elongated. So it's a little bit less stiff. It's a little bit fluffier. But this side over here, this is so fluffy and blends in cream products so well. And I think that if you were just careful with this side and you didn't use a ton of luminizer, actually I have one right here. This one is from Sephora, by the way. Just got this one. Let's try this out. Let's try this brush on this side. What I want to do is I want to, I picked up just very little and I want to just put that down in a strategic way. So it's doing a really good job of laying it down. I just was a little bit afraid that that would be a little bit too thick to put down luminizer. You could use this again as a concealer brush. You could use it as a foundation brush, brush, anything that you wanted to. So I really do love these great quality. Been using them like crazy and washing them and they haven't lost any hair. And so that's always good. That tells you that it's a good quality on them too. And you get two of them in there, which I thought was a good deal as well. So those are good brushes. Another product that I recently found is from Catrice. This is fairly recently out for them. It's the Soft Glam Filter Fluid and we all know who they're trying to, you know, get an alternative going here. I did, this is in Light 015. I do have this underneath my makeup today. I really did enjoy using it. This doesn't give coverage. This just gives a really nice light to your skin. And I just put it on top of another highlight that I was doing in another video. So let's do that on somewhere else. Let's go right here and see if we can get the light there. So with the Charlotte Tilbury product, you get a little bit of coverage, right? But you get that glow. That's pretty much what this is too. So if you've been wanting to really try one that is every bit is good, this is a beautiful, glowy, dewy product that's going to either mix with your foundation or it's going to look beautiful on its own if you just want a no makeup day. It's just gonna give you just that tiny bit of coverage but it's going to give you a beautiful glow. It does have some dimethicones in it which means it's gonna smooth out your skin just a bit. It's kind of along the lines of a skin tint so you're getting a little bit of a hydration in there. It will eventually dry down through the day. But what I'm saying is it's not going to be one that is drying. It's going to be one that is quite hydrating and it's going to, the reason that it does look dewy is because of that hydration and that glowy product that it has inside of there. And definitely pick something up that's going to save you quite a bit of money. This is new from NYX and it's their blur screen sunscreen. It's an SPF of 30. This one again is just a dewy product. It comes out as white looking. They don't have a bunch of different colors. They just have the one color. And even though it does come out white, it doesn't go on and stay on looking like white. It doesn't give a white cast like some sunscreens do. It does give a beautiful glow to your skin as well. So if you're looking for something that has the sunscreen in it since we're coming on into summer, then you might want to look into the NYX product, their blur screen. I really like the way that this lays right underneath makeup. It does blur out your pores and you get the sunscreen benefits of it at the same time. So this one was a yes for me. I really have been enjoying it. Ooh, lost my light behind me. I didn't even know it. And by the way, I know everybody's going to say something about my hair going back to blonde. Every time that I did my editing on my videos, I would see that girl with dark, dark hair and I wouldn't know who she was. So I decided to go back to blonde and surprisingly I'm very, very happy being back to blonde. It's just who I've been for my whole 50 years of life. So it was really hard to watch myself that way. And I don't know, in my mind, it made me look a little bit older. I know so many of you really liked it and you said that it made me look younger. But for me, it's just, I guess it was a matter of convenience because I was having to color my hair so often because I am getting some gray but my original hair color is kind of a medium ashy blonde. So I was coloring it a lot to keep it that brown color. So this is gonna be a little bit easier for me for one thing and I might know myself when I look at myself in the mirror again. I have three bronzing products to share with you today. And I'm excited to share these with you because they are cool tone either contours or cool tone bronzers. This one from Laura Geller. Have any of you tried the fair bronzer from Laura Geller? It's baked, bronze and brightened. This one is the fair. The difference in this particular color and all of the other ones is this has no golden swirls in it. It has pink swirls in it. So ladies, if you're somebody that is cool tone and you have not been able to find one that doesn't make you look so orange, this is the bronzer for you. I am so impressed with this. What I have on all over as a bronzer, I just kind of went ham with it today and got it everywhere. It's pretty, but it is light. That is one of the things but still I was kind of impressed with how well it built up as I was playing with it. But if you are somebody that's deeper, you're going to want to skip over this one. But it is pretty. I did get the NYX, the new butter melts bronzers from them, but there was too much orange in there for me. So I couldn't do it, but boy. Oh, this is so pretty. And it just works so beautifully with my skin. Now I love Laura Geller's baked products anyway, because if you're somebody that likes powder foundation, these originate obviously as cream products and then they bake them. If you're somebody that's normal to oily and you want to try her foundations, her bake balance and brighten, I would say go for it 100% because the only reason that I can't wear it is because I'm so dry. But if you want to even get a little extra finish on your own foundation, say you like to wear a skin tint, but you have areas across your face that you really need to cover a little bit more, using her foundation is a great way to do that. So I'll list her foundation right underneath this one too. These are, even though this comes from Amazon, I know this is an authentic Laura Geller product because it came out of her particular store. So I know that and I love this bronzer. Beautiful, beautiful, cool tone. Could not be better for somebody that does not like orange skin looking oompa-loompa or looking like you've just done a fake spray tan that went really wrong. Nothing like that. Just a beautiful, beautiful bronzer. Now I have these two other products that I'm so excited about. This one is from Celestia and it's called Goddess. This is the sculpting powder. It doesn't have a color, just says that it's the sculpting powder, a contouring powder. Now look at how it has this color right in the middle. So if you're somebody that needs super fair, you can get the super fair color out here, but then you can get into the middle and you get the darker color. Genius, because you can almost customize this to whatever your face looks like. So if you need it to be more bronzy, you need it to be less bronzy, whatever. You just get in there and you customize your own color. When you mix them together, they have that medium tone and then the color out here, if you're just doing that one, then you get the lighter tone on it, but it's really pretty. Now this one wouldn't be a contour for me at all. This definitely would be a bronzer, but it's not an orange bronzer and I do love that about it. Just so pretty. And then the last bronzer makeup product that I wanted to tell you about is from Focalore. Now Focalore is a product that I love from Amazon. This is a trio though and this is their blush highlighter and contour palette. And this is zero eight. So you get that highlighter in here, which that highlighter is really pretty. It's got a little bit of glitter in there, not much. It's just got a little tiny pin points in there, but the contour color is a definite cool tone on that one. So you get a great contour on there and then a beautiful kind of rosy blush, mauvey looking blush really, just absolutely gorgeous. Love that. Love the quality of this. And to be able to get all three of these products for such a good price, it was really great. I'm kind of exploring the Focalore brand right now and I'm gonna be bringing you more from this brand to be able to share with you what is really good and what to skip over. So yeah, definitely am enjoying that one a lot. Okay, a skincare item that I picked up this month that I'm really enjoying and really impressed by is the La Roche Pose Hydrating Gentle Cleanser. The reason that I'm so impressed by this is it's not heavy at all, but it really does take away any residuals that you might have. Like I've got all that makeup on right there and I don't know where my little cloth went, but we'll just use this right here. I am so impressed at how clean this leaves your skin without stripping your skin. And I am not somebody that normally gets excited over cleanser, I'm always somebody that's figured, well, a cleanser is a cleanser, what you're gonna do. But the one from La Roche Pose that is the hydrating doesn't strip my skin. This is a humongous bottle, by the way. This is 13.52 fluid ounces. How could you beat that? I mean, a lot of cleansers come in eight ounces or six ounce tube or whatever. I'm really enjoying this. This is a really, really good one and I love how gentle it is on my sensitive dry skin. So if you've been looking for a good cleanser, this is a great one. Not a makeup remover. This won't take your makeup off per se, but it will cleanse your skin. It will have really soft hydrated skin that feels wonderful for whatever you're going to put on it afterwards. So I'm really enjoying this one a lot. And then I wanted to bring to you once again, because I have brought this to you maybe three or four times on my channel before. But this is from Cosrx. We all know that the sale mucin went viral. I think that this is going to be the next product that is viral from Cosrx. And it's the six peptide skin booster. The reason that I think that it's going to be viral is because this has copper peptides in it. It has hyaluronic acid, N-A-G, and amino acids. Peptides are the building blocks of collagen. Collagen is what we need in order for our skin to stay youthful and look plump and juicy like a baby. But copper peptides are in a class all by themselves. The way that they can change the skin is almost as effective, and I'm saying almost, I'm not saying exactly, but it's almost as effective as retinase. So incorporate a copper peptide into your skincare. If you are looking for something to boost your current skincare routine and do it through the Cosrx because this is affordable. That's what I love about it. Plus, you're not just getting copper peptides, you're getting all the other peptides that are in here as well, and they are amazing. My skin is loving this product. So I will use this at night. I will let it sink in and then do whatever retinol product I'm going to use after this sinks in and dries down a little bit. So I definitely use them together. I know a lot of people say you can't use them together, but if you give time in between, you can use your products together, and they're going to be nicely effective on your skin, especially if you've got mature skin like I do. Now, once you continue to get that beautiful hydrated, plumped-up skin, you're going to want for it to show through, so you're going to need a way to exfoliate off the dead skin and show the pretty new skin through. And this from Dermatology, I don't know what wagon train I was on, and I missed this particular boat. But from Dermatology, the Pumpkin Enzyme Mask, this is amazing. First of all, it smells really good. Peter Thomas Roth Pumpkin Enzyme Mask, it smells like that, but it doesn't feel like that. That one burned the crap out of my skin, if any of you have tried that before. Ooh, that one's bad. But it has this really strong cinnamon pumpkin smell to it. But if you can see in there, I don't know if you'll be able to or not, what is gorgeous about this is that cream is so luxurious. So as you're using it, you can feel the hydration go into your skin, and it's just like the most beautiful spa experience. But the little granules in there, or whatever is in there, they're little spheres. And as they go onto your skin, they burst. They're little jojoba spheres. That was a mouthful. And they go onto your skin and they burst, and you get this even more hydration from the jojoba, just gorgeous. Plus, while that's happening, then you're getting this little bit of exfoliation and the pumpkin enzyme part of it. Those enzymes are going to help get the dead skin off. Without it being harsh, my skin is so sensitive that I can hardly do anything to it anymore, as far as doing exfoliators or chemical exfoliation. This one is not like that. It's so beautiful, and it leaves your skin feeling silky soft, absolutely silky soft, because it has that creamy texture to it. This is a product that I am super impressed with. I told you I was gonna talk about things that I use every day. There's three products that I use every day for my hair, skin, and nails, and for my internal organs, and for trying to build me up to be more healthy. Had a rough year last year, and so I'm always trying to work on my health. And I was showing you the Mary Ruth's Vitamins. Well, guess what? They were just too expensive, $50 a pop. And if you got the one with the hair formula in it, it was around 70, I'm like choking. It was so expensive. So I was like, on the hunt, there's gotta be a better liquid vitamin out there. And I have shown you the other one that was the Women's Liquid Vitamin that I got from this brand, which is Tropical Oasis. But this one that is the Mega Premium Multivitamin, this is my brand new bottle that came in yesterday, I'm almost out, but it says better ingredients, better absorption, 100% daily supplement, anti-aging formula, it tastes great. That's the other thing. The Mary Ruth's was really hard for me to just douse, although I did it and it was a huge deal. But this one tastes really good. Not only does this one cost a lot less, but I find that my energy level is up. And I am attributing that to being a little bit more active and trying to keep myself a little bit more active. But I also attribute it to be able to take vitamins that are super highly absorbed. And that's what these are. So this is a complete multivitamin, has some great minerals in it as well. And I just find that I really am enjoying it. You might want to take a second and just look at some of the extra ingredients on it. Like there's CoQ10, there's Grape Seed Extract, there's some other ingredients in here. So go ahead and take a look and make sure that they're ones that you like. But for me, this is giving great energy and my husband is enjoying it too. We're both using this kind of thing because I feel like the liquid is better absorbed than a really hard capsule. So really am enjoying that one. And I've told you guys about this a million times. This is the collagen that I take and this is Hairskin and Nails formula, but this helps with your joints and your bones and everything. This has a product in it called Di-Jet. Okay, I'm just gonna spell it. D-I-G-E-S-E-B. It's a registered trademark with biopurine for maximum absorption. I love this because it's a mixture of different kinds of collagen. So you're not just getting like marine collagen or bovine collagen. You're getting a mixture of different ones and it just really helps out so much. You can put this in anything. The other reason that I like this is there's no flavor to it. Sometimes when you get a collagen, it tastes nasty. It's got a nasty taste to it. No flavor to this at all. I just put it in my water for the day. My big waters, as a matter of fact, here's my jug right here and I just put it in there along with this other product that I'm gonna show you and I drink on it all day long and by the end of the day then I've gotten my collagen for the day and I've also gotten my silica. Now I was showing you a big bottle of silica as well but this one has better reviews and it's a bigger supply of the silica and it costs so much less and I was so glad to find it. From Cell Food, this is called Essential Silica Formula. This is foundational support for hair, nails, skin, teeth, bones, joints, connective tissue, gums, heart and brain function helps accelerate the body's natural recovery time. I used to use this last year when I was right out of surgery so I had two surgeries last year and I was using this and it did help my recovery time so I know that this is a really good product. I just got sucked in by the hype of the other products that everybody else was using. Now I'm back to this one and I can wholeheartedly tell you that this is every bit as good if not a better silica than everybody else is using out of that big bottle and the other one is great. It's easy to take, it's a great one but if you can get something that you just use if you drops of it and it has no taste up to it and it's way, way less expensive and you get more servings of it, why not, right? So I'm enjoying this very, very much and I'm glad that I went back to this instead of using the other silica. I have been on a graphic tea binge. Now some of them I just pulled out from last summer that I got. This is the cutest little graphic tea. These are puzzle pieces and it has the sunflower right here and they're bursting off of there. I love this. This is on a charcoal gray black background, excuse me. And then this is just some sunflowers. Everywhere I go I get told that this one looks like a tattoo. This is a Heather blue that this one is on. Then the next one is the sunflower again on a kind of a burgundy maroon type but it has puppies paws and you guys know I love my dogs so that was fun. The puppies paws burst off of there and then I just got this one right here. This one says ducks and mama and I have two doxies. So I wanted to share those with you. I think Amazon has some fantastic graphic teas. They have great quality to them. They're not too heavy but they're not so light that they're gonna fall apart on you really quick. I love my graphic teas and I wanted to show you these four that I've just been basically living in this spring. Also to show you a pair of slip-on sandals that I'm so excited to get. It's a chunky slide sandal. I am really looking forward to wearing these this summer. These have lots of padding in them which I need so much. And the other thing is they're a little bit wider. I have a really wide foot. I wear an eight and a half wide but I can never find ones that fit correctly. So I just buy a nine but these are a little bit wider so these are really, really comfortable. I'm looking forward to wearing these a lot more. I've only worn them once before but I'm looking forward to wearing these a lot more and I do think that they're so cute with their gold accents on there. Love a good chunky heel. Make sure that you're steady on your feet but they're still a little bit more dressy. So I'm loving those. What could it possibly be an Amazon haul without me showing you one of my purses that I love? And this is actually a purse that I bought at the last of the season last year and I wanted to show it to you again. I love the color blocking on this. I'm a color block person anyway. I think that that's just a really elevated look in your fashion and this is a huge tote by the way. It holds so much of my junk in there. It actually does come with a couple other purses which my daughter took with her when she left and went up to Washington this time. I wasn't even thinking that I was gonna be sharing this but I do love all the accents on here, the gold accent, the way that they do the color blocking and the accents is so nice. It does come with a strap so you can wear it crossbody if you're going somewhere and you need to be hands-free or whatever. It's from Montana West and I really like their purses. They're a great quality. This is just so cute and so pretty. So I love the black piping on it with the black detailing on it as well. Let's wrap this up with my last product and it's this brush right here. And I found a brush that I brought to you guys over and over again a while ago, probably last year, the summer before, that was a little bit bigger than this. So the other brush was probably about this big. I'm gonna use this for self-tanner. And I love using a brush like this for self-tanner for one. You don't get that all over your fingers and you get your fingers all stained up or whatever, you don't have to wear a mitt. That's a plus too because I find that sometimes mitts really streak. When you have a dense brush like this, but it's super soft, it's gonna buff in and it's going to make your skin just look beautiful. And believe me, if you wanna use this on your face, you could because this would buff in your makeup so nicely, super soft and it's super dense. And I haven't used it yet, but I can tell by how thick it is and how dense it is and how similar it was to the other brush that I showed you. The other brush that I showed you was around $45. This one was 10, I think, might've been 13. But it was really darn close. So that's what I wanted to show you for today's video. Hope that you did enjoy my Amazon finds. Make sure that you tell me about any of your Amazon finds and let me know if there's anything in here that you might be going to pick up or anything that would be on your wish list. I'd love to hear that from you as well. Hope everybody is doing really well. Please take care of yourselves and come see me in my very next video. Love you much, bye-bye my friends.
