 Hi guys, it's Monica. Thank you so much for joining me I'm going to share in this video the results of my recent pathology because I finally got that back And you probably can see by my smile on my face How I feel and I'm also going to show with you I'm also going to share with you the foundations that I bought at the company Cosmetics company store that I bought about a week and a half ago. I think it was and My thoughts are as well as the Sephora little mini haul that I did in Sephora. So if you're curious, please stay tuned Okay, first thing first Late Friday afternoon. I got the best call ever and it was from my surgeon's office and they had gotten The pathology they had gotten the pathology results in and they said you are it's clear so they got all of The you know the pre-cancer out they got ever they removed it all my margins are clear It is really really good I was like it had taken forever to get the pathology back and I was like just so stressed out I mean between everything that happened, you know with my mom my dad my brother, you know all of the the three deaths that have had these last three years and and You know and then just going through everything trying to Take care of the house and get that all ready to be sold and just oh, so my god so much so much emotion and then having the surgery so I went in for the surgery and The procedure, you know seemed to go well as I said and the the hardest thing that I had was the Because they they intubate you they put a tube down your throat to breathe for you when you're knocked out That was how my throat felt after my surgery, but today. I'm just feeling so much better. It's been Eight days since my surgery Yes, I've taken a shower for those of you that have followed me You know that I'm the kind of afraid to you know to to look at myself I I will admit though my band-aid is still on I haven't I had I tried to loosen it up a little bit and I'll probably try it again tonight in my shower, but it's still on anyways. I'm like so Relieved Tomorrow I'm going to a birthday party for my niece's daughter at Elena. She's too So I'm really looking forward to doing that on Saturday, and I'm just I just I feel like Like this huge weight has been lifted off my shoulder. I said to Jay. I said I'm ready to really You know smile and and enjoy life again because it's been such a dark chapter and and I'm not I'm not over it at all as far as my mother's passing because Just on Wednesday I went grocery shopping and I picked up my phone and I've done this a number of times I picked up my phone and I started to dial my mother and I was like I looked at my phone. I said what the heck am I doing and I hung up You know, it's that instinct because I haven't been in a grocery store in so long Without calling my mother to say what do you need? What can I get you or even just talking about you know waiting for the pathology? I wanted to talk to my mother There's something else that's going on in the family and I wanted to talk to my mother about it and and she's not there So I'm trying to adjust to the idea of being an orphan That's that's the hardest thing for me. That is still the hardest thing for me But At least the pathology report finally came back good So anyway, I'm going to share a couple of things with you. First of all, I meant to mention this This is the under eye Breitner by Katrice Katrice. I purchased this actually got mine off of Amazon and You have to I played with it the first time I put it on it obviously because I'm more heavy-handed I put on way too much. So you have to just really Modulate how much you put on you can see I dug in really deep the first time. So I just pretty well tap and Then I just tap instead of digging in and trying to because I was like going. Oh my gosh This stuff is not it's not sitting. It's kind of accented my wrinkles and stuff like that. So Now that I have been using it the right way I actually do like it because lately I have seen a lot of more blue under my eyes and And I know a lot of it's from veins and stuff like that, but it had been bothering me a lot So just to tell you that using that right it really does brighten my under eye area And in between that and then say I use my fiera coverage my fiera concealer, which That conceal is I know it's not for everyone But I absolutely love that concealer if you're using the fiera concealer and you don't know how to use it Put just the tiniest bit I mean the tiniest tiniest bit and I I want it between my fingers and then I go down my scar I cover all the areas on my nose and I just tap it in and you kind of watch this You put it on your skin and you kind of it kind of melds. I don't even had to describe it kind of melds right into your skin Does not accent any of my wrinkles doesn't make my eyes look older You know, it just it just melds into your skin and at the same time it covers it covers my veins It covers, you know, I have a lot of veins on my face So it covers all those imperfections as well as doing 99% a great job covering my my Scar, so my most surgery and and so I love that concealer. They always have sales I'm not an affiliate member. They don't have an influencer or affiliate member thing So I don't have any kind of a discount code you go on there last time I looked on their website They're like they had buy one get one free Then I've seen 25% off on certain things and 10% off and they have amazing sales and they their products to me are really Gared for mature skin. I really loved that concealer. So that with the brightener I think Knowing exactly how to put the brightener on I thought my eyes looked a lot better. I did want to tell you that I'm my surgery you guys are gonna crack up on the day the day before my surgery I went out to the beach and met up with two of my girlfriends and we had dinner together and I was talking about I was going to because I wear mascara all the time. I go nowhere without mascara So I was saying I was gonna wear my mascara to surgery and they're going on Well, you know, if you can do that as I'm gonna do it So when I got up that morning and I took my shower I had to wash with that antiseptic soap and all that and I you know took my shower dried off I put the essence on and I just put it on my my upper end a little bit on my lower lashes and And then I forgot about it. I did no other makeup. I didn't put anything on my face I didn't do anything else But I had mascara on because I cannot go out without mascara Well, I know I did I put it on lightly so it wasn't like this globs of lashes looking at anyone's in the face Actually looked very natural. It just looked like they had lashes and So nobody said a word and I went through my surgery. I went through my my pretty called a recovery after you get out of surgery I I came home. I was I was swollen. I was feeling miserable But I'll tell you I and this is the one I put on my essence purple mascara I did not have a some mudge On my eyes not as much that mascara Stay put through surgery all day long until that night when I had the energy to wash my face Unable it was like it was wild so I went to cosmetic company store And I normally when I go to cosmetic company store I normally always look for Estee Lauder there are those of you that are gonna say you know But I happen to really like the Estee Lauder double wear it works really good with me on my skin It covers I use a very little bit of it is a heavy coverage full You know full coverage so use a very little of it I do have to have my skin moisturized before I put it on so I've been using like the my primer like the super goop Or the Trader Joe's I've been using that sort of like as a primer and it's a little bit more slick Really works well with my double wear foundation. I never have a problem I have a problem sometimes finding it in my color the last time I bought it I had to buy it in Sephora that in or an alta one of the stores I don't remember which I have to see three pebble is the color that I wear Well when I went to the cosmetic company store they had plenty so I picked up two bottles of it They're like I think I mentioned this before they're like normally $48 everything was 50% off plus I had an additional 10% off they also had The and I had not ever tried this but I was really curious about trying it because it's called the Futurist Hydra rescue moisturizing makeup broad spectrum 45 and They had this in my color pebble and I said, oh my god. I'm gonna give it a try So it is It is much much more moisturizing. I definitely when I put this on and I'm not a powder person I definitely have to powder down But I really like this now I still put on the super goop because I'm not gonna put enough the time one day that I tried to put on Enough of this type of a foundation with the SPF that you would need to really cover yourself. I looked awful So, you know my Australian gold the same thing, you know if I put if I put too much of it on to feel covered It look awful So I cover my whole face with the super goop or the Trader Joe Let that dry in and then I put this on top of it. What a beautiful beautiful finish on me I was like absolutely thrilled the color is really it spot-on for me and Apologize my hand is still all black and blue and bruised from my IV fluids, but it's very light coverage I know you can't even see it and It's just it's sort of more of a luminous finish on me anyways And I have dry skin and I think it could be because of my you know the super goop So because that's very luminous on me, but this was a huge hit I was absolutely thrilled just to be able to find this especially with that SPF at the same time I saw the SD lauder. This is the double wear share long lasting or a long long wear makeup broad spectrum 19 I've seen this before but I was never able to get it in my color and so I picked this up again the See, you know the 3c2 pebble as well. This is much share It doesn't cover a lot of my imperfections, but this goes on Super nice. It just kind of gives you it just evens out your skin. So I really like it It it reminds me very much of my Boots number seven that I like it just reminds me of that Anyways, when I go to the cosmetic company store and I can pick this up for 60% off It is as reasonably priced as any drugstore top quality drugstore foundation So I I'm definitely all stocked up on my On all my my foundation for probably, you know two years except I do I think I like this so much the futurist with the SPF that if I see it again when I go back I'll pick up another thing of it, and then I got a gift. I don't know why I got this gift But this is the Clinique dramatically different Gel non-greasy, you know, this is their their their cream I've used this before but this this just was part of their free promotional gift that I got at the cosmetic company store plus a ton of All sorts of samples For men she goes on she goes will your man use some of this I cracked that I said my man No, my man My man could definitely benefit from using some of this stuff, but I know that that he won't use it So no, he's not he's not into skin care. Why am men not into skin care? There are some men that are into skin care, right? Mine is not anyways, I ended up getting two lip pencils at Sephora and Surprisingly, I mean just tell you they're they're gel lip liners one is in the color 13 And it's wine. Oh the other is in the color 28 and it's sink or suede Both of these lip liners. I absolutely love I have the sink or suede on which is the lighter color on right now It is it's just really natural on my lips. I was surprised I know I was gonna boycott Sephora, but I was really surprised so I got both of these they they look really good on me the The the darker color which is why I know is definitely a darker color when I put that on my lips look a lot darker Which I personally don't like that much, but sometimes you want your lips to show up. I also got the cream What is this called? This is lip lip Lipetories lip stories or something like that. It's called. This is the number three and I got this at Sephora, you know, you can't beat some of the prices at Sephora and Alta for their brand I really like this lip see if you can Probably can't see it. I have it on and I think it's a very It's a very it's a very pretty natural natural color for me I also ended up getting two lip liners both of which I really am not a fan of from Juvia's place One is just too This top one is just too. I don't know. It's too too Pinky peachy. It doesn't really look that great on me The other one. I think it's a little bit too orangey looking so I have the one on the bottom Is the one that's a little bit too orangey looking and the colors on that was lust and love me Yeah, I like lust Love me and not so much so but you know, I one thing I will tell you that Juvia's place the Sephora and even the Alta lip liners that I've gotten when you can you can get a really nice lip liner that actually Stays on your lip and looks good and not have to pay talk back So I was really happy with that and I I was very very happy with this little lipstick that I got from Sephora, I was really surprised. I did end up getting a couple of the color sticks from Sephora I made a mistake two of them have shimmers and My eyes are just not good with shimmers. I have really Wrinkly creepy eyelids badly creepy eyelids. So I'm still playing around with this I'm not really gonna talk about how it looks or whatever in general or how it holds up but I will tell you that I've been using it basically more of it a liner and the one I have on is a Because a dark taupe number 22 dark taupe shimmer so I have that on as a liner a thicker liner and The shimmers okay as a liner, but when I try to go and put that up on my lid I just look I just look like I have the most creepiest eyes Possible so I got these three. I'm gonna be playing around with them I'm also trying to figure out how to do a setup so I could maybe Actually film I get ready with me. I don't know if it's gonna work, but but that's a little bit of my you know cosmetic company store haul and You know went to Sephora broke my Sephora pledge said no Donna I wasn't gonna go when I and I broke that pledge, but I Guess I needed it. You know, I just I needed it I have been using all week the elephrita. I'm not ready to do a full review on that But I had the elephrita. We talked about that. I Really like what I've been using on the elephrita. I've used the exfoliator. I have used the the the cleanser The toner and I have not you tried the vitamin C. I'm really funky about vitamin C I want to definitely try it, but I'm really funky because I hate to open a vitamin C when I have a vitamin C open and I have a really big thing of You know the the timeless of the vitamin C, which I really like it plays nice with my makeup So I'm holding off on that mainly because I don't know what but I'm holding off on that But I'm so happy with my pathology report having come back so good I go to my post op on Monday, so I'm gonna see the surgeon on Monday and You know, they'll check everything out, but I think I'm healing really well I'm the soreness that I feel I think it's just I mean it had stitches inside me, you know, so that's just all normal and But I go on Monday, and I just you know, I just like so happy My parents house still it's still under agreement. We're still waiting for final band commitment and then that weekend is gonna be 4th of July Jay and I we have some plans and I just feel like I have a little bit of a new New lease on life. I know it sounds corny, but it's kind of how I feel so anyways just wanted to Say thank you all so much appreciate every single one of you and I will see you in my my next video. Bye guys Oh, I just hit myself. Bye guys
