I am absolutely addicted to Tarte's SmolderEyes....specifically in Brown. The absolute BEST for a quick, matte smokey-brown eye. You look radiant!! I love your makeup...very natural but put-together (:
Have never subscribed to anyone on youtube, much less commented but I have been so enjoying your videos. From someone who is starting to learn the ins and out and how tos of makeup/fashion/jewlery/etc, you have been amazingly helpful. Aside from the large dent I have put in my wallet trying so many fabulous products I have a wish list a mile long of different products you have recommended. Congrats on the baby and keep up the awesome videos!
I totally agree with you about the Naked pallets. They are both amazing, but I would totally go with the first one. I feel like the colors are better paired and I don't have to think about what colors would look good together nearly as much as I do with the second pallet.
you are by far my favorite guru ever. WHY? because you are always honest, you dont sponser too many things and i think you have a similar style to me. i almost always check out the things you recommend and most of the time i end up loving them. You are amazing. nuff said. also your etsy store is adorbs. I also stalk your etsy to get ideas myself hahaha
I'm so glad you introduced me to Buxom's White Russian. I absolutely LOVE it!!! I like to wear it with NARS lipstick in Barbarella, the combination is perfect for Spring/Summer. I also like to wear it alone for a more natural look!
NARS Exhibit A and Luster blushes are my favorite. I also really love NARS Fez eyeshadow, but it tends to break for no reason. Thanks for the video! xx
I totally agree with you on liking the original naked palette more, I just never see myself reaching for it on a day to day basis! Btw, you looks gorgeous as always in this video! :)
Wake up on a Friday morning and watch your video before breakfast: that's exactly what I do!!!! You gave me so many ideas and inspiration, thanks Michele!!! :)
Totally agree, NAKED one is just amazing. I have yet to get a great look using NAKED2 alone. This was a great video Michele. I added a lot of these to my wish list. Thanks! xo, Rita
Finally someone does a video like this one!! Great reference video for a sephora haul. Please do one of these every so often. Hope more gurus catch on... "sephora reference of holy grails"
Great vid Michele, i love lots of those things- I just want to say I noticed that you always respond to your comments and I think thats awesome. That's why you're my favorite!!
The Chanel rouge coco shines do not last an hour on my lips. Pretty much every lipstick doesn't work for me there. Either too glittery, too matte or doesn't last:(
Ooh, and I love Park Avenue Princess. Such a gorgeous bronzer. It's so amazing! I've always been must do black on my waterline girl, but I have been loving Tarte's topaz too. It makes such a nice difference to brighten up my eyes. Love it. Gosh, looks like we have the same picks. Lol!
Thanks for this video. I'm going to Chicago next month & I'm def. going to their Sephora! (Where I live, there's not a sephora for 4 hours) So I'll be sure to check out those products!
if you love gel eyeliners, you should definitely try the YSL faux cils gel eyeliner or even the inglot gel matte eyeliners. i looooved the YSL one over MAC, bobbi brown, clinique, etc because nothing used to stay on my water line and not drop.. until the YSL one.. but i know it can kind of be pricey. then my aunty let me have her inglot one because she doesn't like black eyeliner and it's even better and only $12!! soooo good. staying power is freaking amazing :) totally worth a try!
Benefit Creaseless Cream shadows are amazing, so are the new Ready eyeshadows, blushes & bronzers by Bare Minerals. In fact, the ready eyeshadows are extremely similar to Nars and way cheaper. The Buxom gel liner is a lot like the Bobbi Brown & Mac, and MUFE has great lip liners
it's so hard to choose between the first naked and the second naked...i definitely see myself reaching for the first one more...but regardless, they're both amazing! :D great video girl!
i so loved this on you that i got the .07 ct in rose gold and i haven't taken it off yet!! i also went to target today and got the last mint watch, love it. what a fun color. you are keeping me broke, if you like it, that's good enough for me lol. i look forward to your videos and appreciate your opinion.
Love my Dior Amber Diamond & I use it as shadow sometimes too!! My fav blushes are Tarte's Peaceful for a natural look, and flush, natural beauty and achiote for berry flush. Im NC45 so those rock on me.
ive noticed the preference between naked palletes is always different depending on skin tone, darker and tanner girls usually prefer the first and it is because they are warm-toned colors. Lighter girls prefer the second primarily because they are cool-toned eyeshadows.
Thank you soo much for this video, it was great to see all your favorites. My absolute fave is the original UD Naked palette! seeing all of your top products makes me want to go on a shopping spree. :)
i can think of a few HG products....udpp, benefit hoola, benefit high beam, stila desire in the in the moment palette, jack black lip balm, tendertones, mac msf natural, mac brush cleanser.
The Bobbi Brown Bronzer has a lot less product than you would expect, and so you end up hitting pan a lot faster. It makes you feel like "Yes! I'm using up my purchase" but really, it's just that there isn't much of it. I've been through two lol... i love it
This is a great video! I've purchased many of your recommendations since I found your Chanel, and I've never once been disappointed. You are my favorite guru, hands down. Bobbi Brown matte bronzer and brush changed my life. Well, like in a makeup way. I must try white Russian now. Forgive me if I don't remember you talking about this, but do you think it would work for fair skin?
Aloha Michele I watch this video and I totally agree with the packaging for the Naked 2 palette I like it more than the original palette..I have both of the palette and so far I like both of them. Thank you for this great video:) Mahalo!
Just subbed and was happy to see this kind of video in my new box. I am happy to say I have some of the products you mentioned and we are the exact same color in Nars Sheer Glow and MUFE HD foundation. However, my Sephora does not carry Bobbi Brown. I usually have to go to Bloomingdales for that
i really like the urban decay 24/7 eye pencils in boubon and i love the nars velvet lip pencil in belle de jour. I recently got the makeup forever aqua cream eyeshadow in #2 and its great too.
Will you do a "Battle of the Face Highlighters" video? I don't have one yet and I'm curious to see which are your favorites (besides Dior amber diamond obviously haha)!
I loved your picks, especially the Chanel nail polishes! Black Pearl is my favorite nail polish of all time, and I think it is worth every penny. Take care! Kim from StreamlinedChic
i saw that sephora brand just came out with a "radiance foundation" and people were saying in the review page on the sephora site that it's really similar to mufe hd, and it's substantially cheaper than the make up for ever one! i really want to try it after hearing you rave about the mufe one C:
Me and you like so many of the same things. I love the Naked better than the Naked 2. I have about the same skin color as you and under tone and this video helped me so much! I defently subscribed! You informed me alot about makeup!
Have you tried the Clinique Chubby Sticks? They're moisturizing lip balms that don't dry out and not too shiny. I've liked them better than Tarte. And I believe they're significantly cheaper!
I love this video! Your hair looks so good - how do you keep it so sleek and shiny in the summer? Oh - and have you tried the Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua foundation? I didn't love it and am wondering if I was matched with the wrong color. We are the same in NARS and HD so I thought I'd check with you!
Agree with everything! I also love the too faced natural eye palette (much like naked 1) & also um....Laura mercier silk cream foundation & tinted moisturizer! & so much other stuff too haha :-) still trying to get my hands on white Russian though I said I would never buy another gloss ~ I need that one!!
Your eyes do look bright and more awake with the flesh colored liner... I need that for nights I don't sleep as well! Lol. How does White Russian compare to Revlon's peach petal? Thanks so much and have a wonderful weekend! Xoxo katie
The only Sephora where I live is in JcPenney and it sucks because they don't carry Laura Mercier or Bobbi Brown or most of the high end brands and recently they got rid off some of the skincare products... I wonder if it's the same at all JC Penney sephora's. Either way you gave me some great ideas of what to get when I go to CA in July! :)
hmmm... Bobbi Brown - great foundations for sensitive skins, great color range and finishes and stuff MUFE - Aqua Eyes 23L great champagne color for the waterline, HD blush is great value for money, lipstick very creamy & pigmented Too Faced - Great blushes and bronzers, shadow insurance, glitter glue, great shadows Clinique, not sure if its a sephora brand in the US, but their BB cream is amazing!
Hi... I own both the shadows.. They are totally different from each other.. Tempting is golden.. Galapagos is is like a combination of embark and smut with shimmers.. There is no dupe for Galapagos.. It is an awesome shadow.
For those people out here that don't want to spend a whole lot on the Nars Sheer Glow, one of my other fave MUA here on UA-cam talked about the exact dupe of it which is Neutrogena Healthy Skin. I had both at one time so I could test and see how similar they were. They were exact and I have been using the Neutrogena ever since and love it. I was also Punjab in Nars and that would be #60 in the Neutrogena Healthy Skin. Just type in dupe for Nars Sheer Glow and you can see some of the vids.
Great recommendations Michele. I can't believe I don't own benefits corilista. Btw r u no longer filling in your brows? I know sometimes I either forget or just give my brows a break.
I Loved this video! We share a lot of favorites! I would really appreciate a video on your favorite matte products. I have a lot of shimmery products but working on a very conservative environment (hospital) I find myself having to put my Nars orgasm and other shimmery products aside.
You're right about the Nars. I really wish I wouldn't have bought orgasm as my first Nars blush. I actually don't like it too much. I feel that it's way too sparkly and I'm not a huge fan of that. Oh well. Do you have dollface in the Tarte amazonian clay blushes? It's been my go to blush for months. It's just the perfect pink, I think anyways. I have a huge dent in both of my Tarte blushes, both exposed and in dollface. They're amazing!
HA! thats funny, I just went and bought the matte tarte bronzer and the tarte amazonian clay blush - diff color though, the other day. I'm guessing I did a good job for knowing nothing of what to buy.
I am absolutely addicted to Tarte's SmolderEyes....specifically in Brown. The absolute BEST for a quick, matte smokey-brown eye.
You look radiant!! I love your makeup...very natural but put-together (:

Seriously. I don't know a single person who can't use Tarte's Exposed. It's incredible, and probably my favorite blush ever.
Tarte expose is my current fav blush I wear it everyday n it looks good with every look
I'm so glad you introduced me to Buxom's White Russian. I absolutely LOVE it!!! I like to wear it with NARS lipstick in Barbarella, the combination is perfect for Spring/Summer. I also like to wear it alone for a more natural look!
NARS Exhibit A and Luster blushes are my favorite. I also really love NARS Fez eyeshadow, but it tends to break for no reason. Thanks for the video! xx
Ommgg nars sheer glow and makeup forever are my all time favs!!!!!!!
I totally agree with you on liking the original naked palette more, I just never see myself reaching for it on a day to day basis! Btw, you looks gorgeous as always in this video! :)
Shiseido has amazing lipsticks, if you like the glossy finish of the coco rouge youll love the shimmering rouge lipsticks shiseido makes!
Wake up on a Friday morning and watch your video before breakfast: that's exactly what I do!!!! You gave me so many ideas and inspiration, thanks Michele!!! :)
Totally agree, NAKED one is just amazing. I have yet to get a great look using NAKED2 alone. This was a great video Michele. I added a lot of these to my wish list. Thanks! xo, Rita
Finally someone does a video like this one!! Great reference video for a sephora haul. Please do one of these every so often. Hope more gurus catch on... "sephora reference of holy grails"
Tarte Exposed is so fail proof! So pretty as an everyday blush
I love the original Naked palette too...Naked 2 is ok, but I always recommend the first one to friends!
Great vid Michele, i love lots of those things- I just want to say I noticed that you always respond to your comments and I think thats awesome. That's why you're my favorite!!
The Chanel rouge coco shines do not last an hour on my lips. Pretty much every lipstick doesn't work for me there. Either too glittery, too matte or doesn't last:(
chanel powder (loose powder) univeral is amazing! Also Laura Mercier loose power is great too
I LOVE wearing Corfu alone, especially in the summer with tanned skin! Great video :-)
Ooh, and I love Park Avenue Princess. Such a gorgeous bronzer. It's so amazing! I've always been must do black on my waterline girl, but I have been loving Tarte's topaz too. It makes such a nice difference to brighten up my eyes. Love it. Gosh, looks like we have the same picks. Lol!
I think Clinique cream liner in the pot 'True Black' is AMAZE BALLS!! Everyone should try it. It is stay put!
Your hair is soooo shiny and healthy looking absolutely gorgeous
your tan in this video is making me miss summer!!!
Michele, you look flawless in this video! Loving the glow :)
Nars pencil liners are awesome. A little pricey, but great!
Love that purple nail polish. My Favorite Color!
Thanks for this video. I'm going to Chicago next month & I'm def. going to their Sephora! (Where I live, there's not a sephora for 4 hours) So I'll be sure to check out those products!
I absolutely LOVE that Korres lip butter! It's pretty affordable too for a Sephora product :)
if you love gel eyeliners, you should definitely try the YSL faux cils gel eyeliner or even the inglot gel matte eyeliners. i looooved the YSL one over MAC, bobbi brown, clinique, etc because nothing used to stay on my water line and not drop.. until the YSL one.. but i know it can kind of be pricey. then my aunty let me have her inglot one because she doesn't like black eyeliner and it's even better and only $12!! soooo good. staying power is freaking amazing :) totally worth a try!
Benefit Creaseless Cream shadows are amazing, so are the new Ready eyeshadows, blushes & bronzers by Bare Minerals. In fact, the ready eyeshadows are extremely similar to Nars and way cheaper. The Buxom gel liner is a lot like the Bobbi Brown & Mac, and MUFE has great lip liners
i love NARS Galapagos, Benefit Coralista, Tarte Exposed, the Korres lip butters and the UD Naked palette!
it's so hard to choose between the first naked and the second naked...i definitely see myself reaching for the first one more...but regardless, they're both amazing! :D great video girl!
i so loved this on you that i got the .07 ct in rose gold and i haven't taken it off yet!! i also went to target today and got the last mint watch, love it. what a fun color. you are keeping me broke, if you like it, that's good enough for me lol. i look forward to your videos and appreciate your opinion.
Great video! Will definitely be trying those nars eyeshadows!
Love my Dior Amber Diamond & I use it as shadow sometimes too!! My fav blushes are Tarte's Peaceful for a natural look, and flush, natural beauty and achiote for berry flush. Im NC45 so those rock on me.
Will you do a video about the makeup you wore on your wedding day?
i love the colour of your watch! :O mint green/turquoise!
I loveeeeeeeeeeee Buxom lip glosses! Like oh so friggin much! Hands down the ONLY lipgloss that stays on the longest on me!
I own about 70% of what you showed on this. Love the blushes!
ive noticed the preference between naked palletes is always different depending on skin tone, darker and tanner girls usually prefer the first and it is because they are warm-toned colors. Lighter girls prefer the second primarily because they are cool-toned eyeshadows.
such amazing shiny hair!!
have you tried the new nyx colored chapstick? they have amazing pigmentation, and feels like a chapstick. i love it!
Thank you soo much for this video, it was great to see all your favorites. My absolute fave is the original UD Naked palette! seeing all of your top products makes me want to go on a shopping spree. :)
You should try the soap and glory chap stick! its in a little pot.
i can think of a few HG products....udpp, benefit hoola, benefit high beam, stila desire in the in the moment palette, jack black lip balm, tendertones, mac msf natural, mac brush cleanser.
The Bobbi Brown Bronzer has a lot less product than you would expect, and so you end up hitting pan a lot faster. It makes you feel like "Yes! I'm using up my purchase" but really, it's just that there isn't much of it. I've been through two lol... i love it

I agree, I prefer the Naked 1 soo much more! I have both but the first one looks better with my skin tone. I kind of neglet my Naked 2 :x
Aloha Michele I watch this video and I totally agree with the packaging for the Naked 2 palette I like it more than the original palette..I have both of the palette and so far I like both of them. Thank you for this great video:) Mahalo!
Portugal, Europe! But France has that too!
Just subbed and was happy to see this kind of video in my new box. I am happy to say I have some of the products you mentioned and we are the exact same color in Nars Sheer Glow and MUFE HD foundation. However, my Sephora does not carry Bobbi Brown. I usually have to go to Bloomingdales for that
I have Candy Shop - you are right - they are great! Do you have a favorite shade?
i really like the urban decay 24/7 eye pencils in boubon and i love the nars velvet lip pencil in belle de jour. I recently got the makeup forever aqua cream eyeshadow in #2 and its great too.
Awesome video! My Sephora obsession is Tarina Tarantino. I would recommend her blushes in Neapolitan Lane & Feather. : )
Will you do a "Battle of the Face Highlighters" video? I don't have one yet and I'm curious to see which are your favorites (besides Dior amber diamond obviously haha)!
i love make up forevers hd foundation! it's amazing for my oily skin. thanks for the video michele:)
you look so pretty in this video !!
Great idea for a video. I have a Sephora coupon, so I may be picking up some of these suggestions!
I loved your picks, especially the Chanel nail polishes! Black Pearl is my favorite nail polish of all time, and I think it is worth every penny. Take care! Kim from StreamlinedChic
OH MY GOD, you look soo pretty with a tan. what kind of tan cream is it? it looks so natural.
i saw that sephora brand just came out with a "radiance foundation" and people were saying in the review page on the sephora site that it's really similar to mufe hd, and it's substantially cheaper than the make up for ever one! i really want to try it after hearing you rave about the mufe one C:
thankyou. we havent got that over here yet as we always way behing lol. ill keep an eye out though.
Me and you like so many of the same things. I love the Naked better than the Naked 2. I have about the same skin color as you and under tone and this video helped me so much! I defently subscribed! You informed me alot about makeup!

Your videos, every single one of them, are just awesome! That is all :)
it's funny in my country we have Chanel, Dior, Sleek and eve L'Oreal at Sephora!
Michele, you made my day new video!!! yeeeii
Absolutely agree with you about Naked, and not Naked2. But I am NC, so I guess Naked just suits me better, with all the bronzy/goldie tone.
Running into my stash to see if I own Galapagos! ;) Thanks Michele! xo
Agree with everything! I also love the too faced natural eye palette (much like naked 1) & also um....Laura mercier silk cream foundation & tinted moisturizer! & so much other stuff too haha :-) still trying to get my hands on white Russian though I said I would never buy another gloss ~ I need that one!!
galapagos and tempting are different- galapagos is darker and less orangey. Buckweat or Handwritten(though it doesn't have the shimmer) are closer.
Your eyes do look bright and more awake with the flesh colored liner... I need that for nights I don't sleep as well! Lol. How does White Russian compare to Revlon's peach petal? Thanks so much and have a wonderful weekend!
Xoxo katie
You can get Chanel in the Sephora's in Paris so if you're there take a look.
Great recommendations, Michele!
The only Sephora where I live is in JcPenney and it sucks because they don't carry Laura Mercier or Bobbi Brown or most of the high end brands and recently they got rid off some of the skincare products... I wonder if it's the same at all JC Penney sephora's. Either way you gave me some great ideas of what to get when I go to CA in July! :)
i always like your videos before i even watch them :) i love them and you :))
hmmm...
Bobbi Brown - great foundations for sensitive skins, great color range and finishes and stuff
MUFE - Aqua Eyes 23L great champagne color for the waterline, HD blush is great value for money, lipstick very creamy & pigmented
Too Faced - Great blushes and bronzers, shadow insurance, glitter glue, great shadows
Clinique, not sure if its a sephora brand in the US, but their BB cream is amazing!
Have you tried the Giorgio Armani master corrected in 1. I love it.
Hi... I own both the shadows.. They are totally different from each other.. Tempting is golden.. Galapagos is is like a combination of embark and smut with shimmers.. There is no dupe for Galapagos.. It is an awesome shadow.
I love sephora. Thanks for the recommendations.
you should do products i regret buying!!!!!
Hey Michelle great video! do you have any recs for a foundation primer? Looking for a good one.
For those people out here that don't want to spend a whole lot on the Nars Sheer Glow, one of my other fave MUA here on UA-cam talked about the exact dupe of it which is Neutrogena Healthy Skin.

Thanks for comparing Madly and Exposed - I have Madly and was wondering if it was worth getting Exposed too...
You look pretty here, way more attractive with less blusher on :)
you look stunning!
I Loved this video! We share a lot of favorites! I would really appreciate a video on your favorite matte products. I have a lot of shimmery products but working on a very conservative environment (hospital) I find myself having to put my Nars orgasm and other shimmery products aside.
I think you have to get it online...I've never seen in in store
hi michele, i know it's a odd question in the middle of summer, but what blush do you like the most in the winter?
You should do a "Products I've Repurchased" video.
what's the difference between the Bobbi Brown corrector and concealer? thanks! great video xx
What color lip surgence did you show us? Really pretty.
While you wouldn't set the MUFE with a powder, I'd definitely set it with a setting spray!
love to see a new video from you in my inbox after and fisics 2 exam!!!! :D
You're right about the Nars. I really wish I wouldn't have bought orgasm as my first Nars blush. I actually don't like it too much. I feel that it's way too sparkly and I'm not a huge fan of that.
