That’s so sweet that he paid for your flowers 🥺 I think the world gets a little brighter when we pay it forward. I try to do that when I can because I know how much it can mean to someone else. And it makes my heart happy too 🥰
@@emilynoel83 The colors in that Urban Decay palette are beautiful. But I have a long-standing burning question for you: Can/Should 60 and older ladies wear eyeshadows with shimmer in them? Or is it best that we stick with matte-and maybe satin-eyeshadow finishes? I am 64 with very small eyes-and hooded eyelids. I don’t want to draw attention to these issues. Nor do I want to look like I’m trying too hard to appear younger! Thank you in advance for your valuable feedback! You are my favorite beauty blogger! You have a pleasantness about you that is very calming and uplifting. 😍
Emily, thank you for sharing the story of the kind veteran. My husband is a Marine Corp vet and he seeks out Veterans at Lowe’s, Walmart, etc to thank them for their service and talk to them! Some are shocked, some tear up and some talk for an hour! He also pays and gives money to the needy in store check- out lines. I really wish more people would acknowledge the sacrifice and courage of our precious veterans! They are so deserving of special treatment!
@@LoveABun as a makeup artist and hairstylist for almost 20 years I say do what makes you happy. BUT yes shimmer will make your texture on eyes come out more and lines and wrinkles. Honestly I love Wayne Goss eye shadow palettes Because I love his shimmers on my more mature skin clients and mom. Hell I'm almost 40 with hooded eyes and I have to be careful but I'm still like shinning like a diamond because I love shimmers. But they do transfer up on my hooded eyes no matter what tricks I try. It really depends on the shimmer formula. Stick to more smooth shimmers nothing chunky and you will be fine. But if you don't want to call attention to those try the all matte looks also. Sometimes a good liquid shimmer shadow applied to the correct spot and way looks great and won't smuge in hooded eyes also.
So glad you shared the vet story. I agree 100% that we need to talk about the good things that happen. There are certainly many wonderful people around. All hope is not lost! Kind, honorable people are still out and about in force and it's good to be reminded of that.
Thank you for sharing your story, Emily! My husband had a similar situation at the grocery store last week. He struck up a conversation with the woman in front of him.... and she said, "Oh just add your things to my order!" He declined, but that act of kindness stayed with us. There are such wonderful people in this world!!
That mascara with ball tip was absolutely the BEST mascara ever!! One night in the Emergency Dept where I work, a belligerent drunk woman asked, "Are you even a doctor? Dr. Mascara, that's who you are! Dr. Mascara!!!" The RN and I fell out laughing and it has been my nickname since!
Thank you for thanking him. Vietnam vets have never gotten enough recognition. My dad lost both legs in Vietnam and he won't wear a hat advertising that he's a vet because of the way they were treated when they got back home. My dad didn't want to go, he was drafted. But he did go and paid a huge price. I thanked a Vietnam vet once and he was so touched that he shared some of his some of his story with me. It was truly awful what they had to endure. So it makes me happy to know that some people are thanking them now.
Oh Emily you had me tearing up before my morning coffee! I agree we need to SHOUT those good people stories from the rooftops! I saw your IG story too and teared up then too! So sweet and kind! And Bubba saying thank you- what a doll you have raised in those kids. Kudos to you! Can’t wait to hear the Benefit blush round up!!!! HUGS!!!!! Xoxoxox
My Daddy passed away from pancreatic cancer on 5/1/2022. He was a school bus driver, but he had an amazing impact on his kids! He was a retired coal miner, and had a heart transplant in 2016, and went back to work, and decided to drive a school bus. I cannot tell you the kids who came to his visitation! At the 8th grade graduation one of the girls had his picture and the phrase “this one’s for you” on her graduation cap! The school also had a balloon release in his honor after we buried him! He was an amazing man and so many people loved him. I’ll miss him til the day I die. My heart is shattered and it takes my breath, but I know how loved he was! There are many good people out there!
So many veterans from the Vietnam Era were treated very badly when they first came home from war in the 1960's and 1970's. Attitudes towards the military changed drastically by the time of the First Gulf War in 1990/1991. These veterans were honored and celebrated, both when they deployed and when they returned home. Many Vietnam Vets seemed to feel left out at the time. I often heard vets say, "Nobody threw ME a parade when I got home!" As a veteran who served in the Marines during (mostly) peacetime, from 1980-1988, I can tell you that the fact that you reached out and thanked this man for his service really meant a lot to him. As much as his kindness in paying for your flowers touched your heart, your kindness towards him touched his soul. Thank you for your kindness to one of my brothers.
Loved the story you shared about the veteran. I have three sons all teen agers now but when they were small I would thank veterans for their service (still do) and they saw me do this. At a young age they started doing it without me even directing them and it warms my heart to see it. One time we were at a Starbucks and there was an active duty guy in line behind us and my son whispered "mom, you should buy his coffee". When I see my sons live out the kindness to others which I diligently taught them in their youth it makes so proud. So, your kids will remember that man and I just bet that at some point they will pay forward what he did for you guys and girl...that's what it's all about. Love you Em...and love your family. Best wishes.
Love hearing “feel good” stories from real people about real people. It soothes the soul and naturally make the tears swells, (grabbing tissue as I write). But sincerely, I am grateful to have heard you recount this kind act along with sharing your thoughts on how it’s positively impacted all of you there. I especially admire how your children naturally showed their own appreciation. My professional nanny opinion: Unprompted “thank you’s” from little ones speaks volumes about the positive way they are being raised! (Thank you for passing on your wonderfully loving philosophy of life to those three beautiful children!!❤️)
Little did he know he would touch your heart, but those of your subscribers with his gracious gift of human kindness. We can’t always know how our actions, good and sometimes bad, may affect someone for years. A simple thank you to a someone working in retail may lighten the load from a previous negative encounter. Compliments to a stranger may be a minute in your day, but may have a long reaching affect in the recipient. I still remember the dazzling smile and happy tunes the garbage man had when I was only 5 years old ( I am 65 now) all these years later he inspires me to lighten my step a bit, hum a happy tune and count my blessings. Thanks for sharing your story - it is a joyful moment we can all share and appreciate
You made me cry with the story about the Veteran paying for your flowers - your family was a blessing to him and he wanted to thank you for that - so beautiful. 🤍🤍🤍 Thanks for sharing that, it helps me too.
I LOVED 🥰 hearing your heart felt encounter at Lowes with the kids ❤️. My entire family is USMC , and I can tell you a thousand percent with confidence the huge hearts our Marines have in this family in spite of all the trials and tribulations we’ve overcome ! Everyday is appreciated bcuz we’re so blessed 🙏to have the life we have , and take nothing for granted. And there isn’t a day that goes by that we don’t laugh,love ,and embrace each other in that love . Our son-in-law is a Captain in the USMC , and barely made it out of Afghanistan with his fellow Marines last summer, so yes , we always try to be kind & thoughtful to others , NO MATTER WHO THEY ARE 😊👍❤️! It’s just the way we roll in this family 😍🇺🇸❤️❣️
Em, finally a you tube creator that shows us how to use the soft sculpt properly. Your skin looks amazing. I will never stop watching you. You're content ideas are far above all others!
I heard the story in insta and it just warms my heart. Ppl can’t imagine what a simple smile a compliment or a nice gesture can mean to ppl. This past few weeks I have felt so saddened by what is going on in the world and this story just gives hope in humanity. Totally agree we need to share these stories share the goodness we still have in this world.
I live in Denmark. Being a minimalistic skandinavian i have never put on falsh lashes. In many ways we live very different lives, but i love LOVE you (not a very ordinary statement from a introverted skandinavian) but i do. You are so genuine, sweet and kind. I love your stories and i have followed you for many years now. I wish you and your family the very best. 🌺
Listen Girl, I am not a crier. Not a cry baby at all and I have tears running down my face! My hubby had quadruple bypass in Feb and I still never cried. (He’s doing great now!) I can picture you w the kiddos being so sweet and adorable. God love you Em. I never miss your vids. You’re just sweetest person and you bring us joy and hope every time we click on your vids. It’s our lil time of peace and comfort and knowing you’re out there in this world and also that gentleman.
That story made me cry like a baby 🥹 Just remember, I’m sure he’s thinking the same about you and your family. I’m absolutely sure he’s touched he ran into such a beautiful, sweet, old school, good hearted family that still has beliefs, manners, and morals 💕 just love you Em. The kindness and appreciation you have is unreal. You make an impact on me (especially in this ugly world lately) so I know you have an impact on a lot more. 💖💘 so privileged to listen to and watch you in times like these (and always!)! I always think about what good, amazing people your children will grow up to be because of parents like you and Bub :)
Love love your story. Little did he know, you have a platform you can share his act of kindness on and spread the kindness even more ♥️ thank you for sharing!
Ok, that story made me cry in the most beautiful way!! You're right, amidst the chaos in life right now, there are still so many beautiful human moments to be had. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for talking to us and posting so regularly Emily. I just moved across the country for a new job and I’m all alone. My husband joins me later this year but it’s a little lonely til then. I feel like I have a friend with me when I watch your videos. 🥰❤️.
Emily I have watched you for so long!!! My Father is a Vietnam Vet!!! He passed 2 yrs ago and I feel like I needed this story in So many ways!!! I’m very moved by your story and Thank you for sharing it. I worked at a Va Hospital and I Love my Veterans 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸❤️God Bless you and your family !!!
This was the way EVERY UA-cam video should be. You rocked it, and Sephora should hire you because I went straight to their website and bought 3 of the items you used. I love the story as well. Thank you for your goodness and genuine heart. A makeup video review made me teary. Who knew?
Thanks for sharing your story about the Veteran. It certainly warms yout heart when you hear of these things, especially in these days of such terrible world news. 💕
My husband and myself bought a brand new Corvette C8 last year and the crazy amount of compliments and "I LOVE YOUR CAR!!" shouted from other drivers may seem like an odd "Kind Moments", but they are kind and fun!! We have enjoyed the excitement from other people almost as much as the sports car. Sorry Emily, but the media is a huge part of the "problems" people perceive to be happening in our wonderful country is in part because of the media. Hearing news about all of the amazing things people do for each other just does not make the news. Can you imagine a whole hour news segment devoted just to positive and kind things people do for each other or animals? That just would never happen. What you just did was one small way of showing the everyday kindness that does exist in our world. That's how it should work. If every one who is going to comment in this thread today were to share a similar story that they have experienced recently, that would start such a positive space. It would be so wonderful and I pray that can happen!!!
Your story made me tear up. I know you weren’t overly impressed with the eye shadow but that’s one of my favorite eye looks I’ve seen in so long -super pretty! The Mario product looks really interesting.
I’m so glad you shared that story…..what a beautiful example of human kindness that your children got to witness. When things like that happen it sure restores our faith in humanity! 🤗
Top Gun was so awesome! You have to go see it. I know you weren't jazzed about the Naked eye shadow palette, but your eyes is what stood out to me as very beautiful! Such a simple palette, but the end result was stunning!
Thanks for sharing that sweet story. As someone whose work is fairly isolated (don't see other people much). It is easy to see the news etc and forget that world still does have good kind people in it. ❤ Thanks for reminding me! 🥰
Such a heart warming story, but I think the most important aspect is when you stated that ‘Bubba said thank you without me even telling him.’ He’s modeling the behavior he sees on a daily basis, so many forget that the 0-5 years are the character building years with children.
Beautiful look Emily! This world need more people like the gentleman you ran into at Lowes. You beautiful children will never forget that kindness and will no doubt pass along the same to others. What a kind man and you all will think of him every time you look at your flowers.
Oh Em! I really have to watch your videos before I apply my make-up for the day 😒. That was so heart warming and sweet that he paid for your flowers and a day later it still was making you emotional. You got me going to!
Why do we love makeup? Is it because it makes us feel like a kid opening presents? Love the joy in your videos. Also the videos where you express what you're going through. Have a wonderful day!
What a sweet story! 💕 I agree, we need a news channel that only highlights how many beautiful people are out there. And the new Benefit blushes and the Mario complexion enhancer excited me more than a makeup release has in years. Oh, and the UD new naked mini palettes are a staple for me already. I bought 3 of the blushes and they are my new HG 😍 the performance, colors & packaging are beautiful! I can’t wait to get the Mario products in the mail. Have a great day, Em! ❤️
Thank you for sharing your flower story. I believe the things we all have in common are far greater than our differences and we can all connect with just about anyone in the tiniest interaction. Those little moments are inspiring and uplifting for all.
Loved the story about the vet and the flowers. I think there are so many people we can touch by small acts of kindness. And as they say, kindness is free. Thanks for sharing. We do need to hear stories like this. It's amazing what can happen when we get our faces out of our phones and be in the moment. Beautiful look as always!
Wow, I Love the story - the Veteran seeing a gift for him, a bundle of bright beautiful Love right there behind him, was just so perfect cuz he's seen some darkness!
I love these types of videos!! Innovative products are the BEST. One thing I noticed last year too, it's not that eyeshadow palettes aren't important right now it's just that the brands are saving their best palettes for the fall/winter while the rest of the year they focus on complexion.
So nice that Benefit sent you their new blushes. I can't wait to hear more about them. I like the box packaging for the environment and to tap off my brush, very convenient. The story of the Vet paying for your flowers was so sweet and how the kids responded. You are raising your kids very well, for their caring and thankfullness was on full display. Thanks for the run-down on all of the products. :)
Oh goodness that story was so touching. He was lucky to meet you too, you both enhanced each others day 😍. Top Gun is incredible, don't wait to see it 😀 x
I am going to enjoy this video so much Emily. You have the best reviews for products. I love our Vets and our troops, they keep us free and I am so thankful too. We owe them so much. I love the Mario product and the concealer is great. Great look and great job Emily and we love you too.🌹
Oh my goodness you have me in tears right now. What a great story. When I have a couple extra dollars I try and do little things like that for people to show that not everyone is heartless or to busy to show kindness. Emily thank you for sharing with us. 🦋
You are so right Emily. It makes my heart happy to hear about such nice gestures & interactions. We don’t have to wait until the holiday season to pay for the person behind us’ groceries or the Starbucks for the car behind us. Thank you for the reminder and inspo!
You are honestly one of the only content creators out there who is just so genuine and just a good person. Your story and how you told it, reflects that. Thank you for sharing and also putting out great reviews of products people trust . I have watched you since you started and loved that I found a creator who is my age, that I can grow with!
Hi Emily. What a great story and example for us all. Kindness, from you and the children, and then in turn from this gentlemen. You didn't cry, but I did - after all no make-up on me yet. Just drinking Saturday morning coffee with an Emily Noel video. I have to say I'm not sure that you realize the kindness you share with your videos - it's like having coffee with a friend. It's been a heavy few months for me (non-COVID related) and you have made a difference. Thank you for being you (and a fellow blush addict - lol). Have a good weekend.
Emily; you have such a good heart. Thank you for sharing the wonderful story of meeting the vet. You are right.....we need more stories of human goodness. ❤
Thank you for telling the story about the man who visited with you and your children then bought your flowers. I wish there was at least ONE story like that every day in the news. That story made my day. Thank you again.
I loved your story and your message….so heartwarming! You get what you put out…and that’s why you had that beautiful interaction! I try to remind myself daily that there are still good, caring people in this world! Love you, Emily! And this look is beautiful!
Emily I love your life stories and really enjoy hearing about the kids and the family. You always inspire me to be better. You are much more than a make up channel to me. Thank you!!!!!
Hi Emily, your story reminds me of a series that I loved from you a year ago or so. You talked for a few minutes on life, love, and some deeper reflections. I loved that last summer as my life was changing. I am feeling a similar turmoil with the state of the world right now, and would love something similar ❤️ a self care thoughts type of video. Thank you for sharing your experiences.
Hi Emily, thank you for sharing the story, it brought tears to my eyes. There are good people, unfortunately right now so many bad things are happening, we need more kindness in our lives.🌷🌷
Thank you so much for sharing about your visit with the man at Lowe's. You are 100% right that we should give nuggets of goodness shout outs! Good, kind people are in our midst! I'm really looking forward to more about the benefit blushes! Please don't wait til fall to talk about the berry shades!!! Sending you & yours grateful hugs.
Thank you for the goosebumps... you are absolutely right, we need to shout these stories from the rooftops. Thanks for sharing bc I've been feeling down about mankind these days. Xo love you
Thank you for sharing your Lowes story. I needed to hear it with all that’s going on in the world. Your act of kindness was just what that man needed and he returned the kindness. Yes! we need more of this from us humans. This is why you are someone I consistently still watch. It’s like listening to friend tell you about her day. ❤️
Most people are just genuine, normal people. I was at Tom Leonard's the other day getting some meat cut into steaks and the butcher commented on my "Back the Blue" t shirt. Said his brother is a cop, and we exchanged thanks for his service and for my support of the police, along with other random pleasantries.. It made my day.
Completely agree! What we advertise thru media and news stories does influence what happens… share all the tragic stuff=see more tragic stuff … share amazing humans like that gentleman = developing more amazing humans. We should all be telling the media and public figures we want to see the good… not because bad doesn’t exist but rather because I believe we have a common goal of wanting good to win. Thank you soooo much for highlighting that! We will all likely find what we seek out … let it be inspiring ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ just like that gentleman ❣️
Love the Mario product. I bought mine and used it today for the first time. I used it on my forehead, cheeks, across the nose, around the jawline, and down the neck.. loved the warmth it provided. Beautiful product
I love spending my Saturday morning, getting ready for work, hanging out with you. It is just such a positive, joyful start to my morning. That story about the older gentleman was so sweet and heart-warming. ❤️ The whole look came out beautifully and I was super surprised at how gorgeous that Mario sculpter turned out all over the face! Like you said, so many people have been using it as a cream bronzer, but it just gave such a radiance and eveness to your skin. So pretty! Thank you Emily for always being a bright, shining light on this platform. I always look forward to spending time with you! I hope you all have a wonderful day and I hope your mom, dad, and Pup are doing well! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
The Elf Tan Line Bronzer I think is such a great product and shade for fair to medium skin tones if you want a great cream product that blends beautifully and lasts all day while looking for natural, not red, not orange like so many bronzers are but the perfect tone to give you that natural shadow and warmth and a little goes a very long way. I would compare it to the Huda beauty cream bronzer everyone loves so much. Have you tried the Physicians Formula stick concealer, it’s been around forever, Emily? It is so creamy (but not too creamy where it melts in a purse, but isn’t dry like so many stick concealers are, like Revlon Colorstay is) has great coverage, perfect formula and staying power, but still seriously lacks color options, but it would work for you and it is bomb, hidden gem for sure. And their Instaready concealer is also a gem people totally forgot about for a very full coverage concealer that stays in all weather or temps, works great for driest of dry under eye to more oily under eyes and doesn’t get crapey, fantastic for more mature skin because it blends in so well while looking like skin.
Bawling. I’m so proud to call myself a veteran, not because of anything I’VE done but because of the amazing group of people I got to serve with from all eras. You are right, there’s still so much good in the world. Service before self (one of the AF core values) is a wonderful principle to teach our kids and it’s awesome yours got to see that in action so they understand what it’s really about. What a lovely man, I’m sure you made his day too!
Your interaction with this older gentleman is exactly what is missing in our current generation. We feel it's heartwarming and remarkable, but that's because the days of being friendly, of sharing smiles and making a generous gesture are so rare now. I'm sure he's thinking of you and the kids too! You never know what his story is...maybe he misses his kids and grandkids, or maybe he doesn't have any. Or maybe he thinks of his daughter when he interacted with you. Whatever his story, God places people in our path at the right time.
Your videos just always lift the mood Emily 💐 I can’t wait to see these goodies especially the Benefit bronzer. Have a lovely weekend with the fam 😊 Love ya
I agree about shouting out these experiences about so much good still in the world! Sometimes it’s so easy to forget💜! This look is absolutely STUNNING. 🔥
That’s so sweet that he paid for your flowers 🥺 I think the world gets a little brighter when we pay it forward. I try to do that when I can because I know how much it can mean to someone else. And it makes my heart happy too 🥰
absolutely. So kind!!

That man was so sweet! Yes it's easy to focus on the negative of the world instead of the good. Thank you for sharing!
I live in Denmark. Being a minimalistic skandinavian i have never put on falsh lashes. In many ways we live very different lives, but i love LOVE you (not a very ordinary statement from a introverted skandinavian) but i do. You are so genuine, sweet and kind. I love your stories and i have followed you for many years now. I wish you and your family the very best. 🌺

Listen Girl, I am not a crier. Not a cry baby at all and I have tears running down my face! My hubby had quadruple bypass in Feb and I still never cried. (He’s doing great now!) I can picture you w the kiddos being so sweet and adorable. God love you Em. I never miss your vids. You’re just sweetest person and you bring us joy and hope every time we click on your vids. It’s our lil time of peace and comfort and knowing you’re out there in this world and also that gentleman.
That story made me cry like a baby 🥹 Just remember, I’m sure he’s thinking the same about you and your family. I’m absolutely sure he’s touched he ran into such a beautiful, sweet, old school, good hearted family that still has beliefs, manners, and morals 💕 just love you Em. The kindness and appreciation you have is unreal. You make an impact on me (especially in this ugly world lately) so I know you have an impact on a lot more. 💖💘 so privileged to listen to and watch you in times like these (and always!)! I always think about what good, amazing people your children will grow up to be because of parents like you and Bub :)
Love love your story. Little did he know, you have a platform you can share his act of kindness on and spread the kindness even more ♥️ thank you for sharing!
Ok, that story made me cry in the most beautiful way!! You're right, amidst the chaos in life right now, there are still so many beautiful human moments to be had. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for talking to us and posting so regularly Emily. I just moved across the country for a new job and I’m all alone. My husband joins me later this year but it’s a little lonely til then. I feel like I have a friend with me when I watch your videos. 🥰❤️.
You are very brave, Emily! Take this alone time to focus on You, make your needs a priority, love and be good to yourself! 💘
Emily I have watched you for so long!!! My Father is a Vietnam Vet!!! He passed 2 yrs ago and I feel like I needed this story in So many ways!!! I’m very moved by your story and Thank you for sharing it. I worked at a Va Hospital and I Love my Veterans 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸❤️God Bless you and your family !!!
Love that story! And we definitely need to share these kind of blessings. Now you’ll be reminded of him every time you see your flowers 🌸 💐🌺🌷🌹🌻🥀🌼
This was the way EVERY UA-cam video should be. You rocked it, and Sephora should hire you because I went straight to their website and bought 3 of the items you used. I love the story as well. Thank you for your goodness and genuine heart. A makeup video review made me teary. Who knew?
Top Gun is SO GOOD! Make sure to see it in IMAX though. I’m not one that is usually an IMAX person but this movie is worth it!
Bless this veteran… and bless you for articulating how important it is to share the nuggets of good we experience in day-to-day life.
Thanks for sharing your story about the Veteran. It certainly warms yout heart when you hear of these things, especially in these days of such terrible world news. 💕
My husband and myself bought a brand new Corvette C8 last year and the crazy amount of compliments and "I LOVE YOUR CAR!!" shouted from other drivers may seem like an odd "Kind Moments", but they are kind and fun!! We have enjoyed the excitement from other people almost as much as the sports car.
Sorry Emily, but the media is a huge part of the "problems" people perceive to be happening in our wonderful country is in part because of the media. Hearing news about all of the amazing things people do for each other just does not make the news. Can you imagine a whole hour news segment devoted just to positive and kind things people do for each other or animals? That just would never happen.
What you just did was one small way of showing the everyday kindness that does exist in our world. That's how it should work. If every one who is going to comment in this thread today were to share a similar story that they have experienced recently, that would start such a positive space. It would be so wonderful and I pray that can happen!!!
I love stories like the one you shared. There is so much goodness in the world, and every act of kindness, no matter how small, is so important!
Your story made me tear up. I know you weren’t overly impressed with the eye shadow but that’s one of my favorite eye looks I’ve seen in so long -super pretty! The Mario product looks really interesting.
I’m so glad you shared that story…..what a beautiful example of human kindness that your children got to witness. When things like that happen it sure restores our faith in humanity! 🤗
This video is why I will always be a subscriber. Reminds the world of what a good person is like.
Top Gun was so awesome! You have to go see it. I know you weren't jazzed about the Naked eye shadow palette, but your eyes is what stood out to me as very beautiful! Such a simple palette, but the end result was stunning!
Thanks for sharing that sweet story. As someone whose work is fairly isolated (don't see other people much). It is easy to see the news etc and forget that world still does have good kind people in it. ❤ Thanks for reminding me! 🥰
Such a heart warming story, but I think the most important aspect is when you stated that ‘Bubba said thank you without me even telling him.’ He’s modeling the behavior he sees on a daily basis, so many forget that the 0-5 years are the character building years with children.
Beautiful look Emily! This world need more people like the gentleman you ran into at Lowes. You beautiful children will never forget that kindness and will no doubt pass along the same to others. What a kind man and you all will think of him every time you look at your flowers.
My husband is Vietnam vet and a truly good guy! You brought me a good cry…thank you😇
Truely love the heart warming story about your interaction with the kind Vietnam vet. Sending love to you and to all our vets and their families
Oh Em! I really have to watch your videos before I apply my make-up for the day 😒. That was so heart warming and sweet that he paid for your flowers and a day later it still was making you emotional. You got me going to!
Sharing kindness is what keeps us humble and grateful. Thank you!
Why do we love makeup? Is it because it makes us feel like a kid opening presents? Love the joy in your videos. Also the videos where you express what you're going through. Have a wonderful day!
What a sweet story! 💕 I agree, we need a news channel that only highlights how many beautiful people are out there.
And the new Benefit blushes and the Mario complexion enhancer excited me more than a makeup release has in years. Oh, and the UD new naked mini palettes are a staple for me already. I bought 3 of the blushes and they are my new HG 😍 the performance, colors & packaging are beautiful! I can’t wait to get the Mario products in the mail. Have a great day, Em! ❤️
Love that you shared the vet story. I agree... More sharing of those types of stories needed!!!!
Thank you for sharing your flower story. I believe the things we all have in common are far greater than our differences and we can all connect with just about anyone in the tiniest interaction. Those little moments are inspiring and uplifting for all.
Loved the story about the vet and the flowers. I think there are so many people we can touch by small acts of kindness. And as they say, kindness is free. Thanks for sharing. We do need to hear stories like this. It's amazing what can happen when we get our faces out of our phones and be in the moment. Beautiful look as always!
Thank you for sharing that beautiful story. Happy Saturday with Emily and a cup of coffee.
Wow, I Love the story - the Veteran seeing a gift for him, a bundle of bright beautiful Love right there behind him, was just so perfect cuz he's seen some darkness!
I wasn’t alive during the war in Vietnam but I have yet to meet a vet who talks about their experience. I can only imagine what those folks endured!
I love these types of videos!! Innovative products are the BEST. One thing I noticed last year too, it's not that eyeshadow palettes aren't important right now it's just that the brands are saving their best palettes for the fall/winter while the rest of the year they focus on complexion.
So nice that Benefit sent you their new blushes. I can't wait to hear more about them. I like the box packaging for the environment and to tap off my brush, very convenient. The story of the Vet paying for your flowers was so sweet and how the kids responded. You are raising your kids very well, for their caring and thankfullness was on full display. Thanks for the run-down on all of the products. :)
Oh goodness that story was so touching. He was lucky to meet you too, you both enhanced each others day 😍. Top Gun is incredible, don't wait to see it 😀 x
I am going to enjoy this video so much Emily. You have the best reviews for products. I love our Vets and our troops, they keep us free and I am so thankful too. We owe them so much. I love the Mario product and the concealer is great. Great look and great job Emily and we love you too.🌹
Oh my goodness you have me in tears right now. What a great story. When I have a couple extra dollars I try and do little things like that for people to show that not everyone is heartless or to busy to show kindness. Emily thank you for sharing with us. 🦋
Thank you for sharing your flower story. I agree with you about spreading good news and random acts of kindness! 🌸
You are so right Emily. It makes my heart happy to hear about such nice gestures & interactions. We don’t have to wait until the holiday season to pay for the person behind us’ groceries or the Starbucks for the car behind us. Thank you for the reminder and inspo!
You are honestly one of the only content creators out there who is just so genuine and just a good person. Your story and how you told it, reflects that. Thank you for sharing and also putting out great reviews of products people trust . I have watched you since you started and loved that I found a creator who is my age, that I can grow with!
Hi Emily. What a great story and example for us all. Kindness, from you and the children, and then in turn from this gentlemen. You didn't cry, but I did - after all no make-up on me yet. Just drinking Saturday morning coffee with an Emily Noel video. I have to say I'm not sure that you realize the kindness you share with your videos - it's like having coffee with a friend. It's been a heavy few months for me (non-COVID related) and you have made a difference. Thank you for being you (and a fellow blush addict - lol). Have a good weekend.
Yes! What Meagan said! 💕💕
Your story is so beautiful. And with Bubs saying thank you!!!❤️❤️❤️
Emily; you have such a good heart. Thank you for sharing the wonderful story of meeting the vet. You are right.....we need more stories of human goodness. ❤
That is so touching that he paid for your flowers. What a kind soul. ❤
Thank you for telling the story about the man who visited with you and your children then bought your flowers. I wish there was at least ONE story like that every day in the news. That story made my day. Thank you again.
good morning em!!! I feel like Saturday has officially started now that we're sitting down and doing makeup together
Yay!! Love that!
I loved your story and your message….so heartwarming! You get what you put out…and that’s why you had that beautiful interaction! I try to remind myself daily that there are still good, caring people in this world!
Love you, Emily! And this look is beautiful!
Emily I love your life stories and really enjoy hearing about the kids and the family. You always inspire me to be better. You are much more than a make up channel to me. Thank you!!!!!
Agree 100%. At 63 Emily makes me want to be better ❤️☮️
Diane yes I am 63 also. She is just like her special veteran because she spreads joy also
Hi Emily, your story reminds me of a series that I loved from you a year ago or so. You talked for a few minutes on life, love, and some deeper reflections. I loved that last summer as my life was changing. I am feeling a similar turmoil with the state of the world right now, and would love something similar ❤️ a self care thoughts type of video. Thank you for sharing your experiences.
Emily I loved your story.🙏🏽💕🙏🏽 I agree we need to shot the nuggets of goodness!!!!! We are watching Maverick today I am excited as well.❤️🇺🇸
Hi Emily, thank you for sharing the story, it brought tears to my eyes. There are good people, unfortunately right now so many bad things are happening, we need more kindness in our lives.🌷🌷
Oh my gosh what a great story about the flowers. No I am not crying.
This look is absolutely stunning! Also thank you for bringing some good news to the world and your appreciation for those who served our nation.
Thank you so much for sharing about your visit with the man at Lowe's. You are 100% right that we should give nuggets of goodness shout outs! Good, kind people are in our midst! I'm really looking forward to more about the benefit blushes! Please don't wait til fall to talk about the berry shades!!! Sending you & yours grateful hugs.
The color “sin” in that little Urban Decay palette is in their original Naked Palette. It was my favorite lid shade in the original Naked palette.
Thank you for the goosebumps... you are absolutely right, we need to shout these stories from the rooftops. Thanks for sharing bc I've been feeling down about mankind these days. Xo love you
LOL. You made me cry with that story. Thank you for telling everyone!!!!!
Thank you for sharing your Lowes story. I needed to hear it with all that’s going on in the world. Your act of kindness was just what that man needed and he returned the kindness. Yes! we need more of this from us humans. This is why you are someone I consistently still watch. It’s like listening to friend tell you about her day. ❤️
Most people are just genuine, normal people. I was at Tom Leonard's the other day getting some meat cut into steaks and the butcher commented on my "Back the Blue" t shirt. Said his brother is a cop, and we exchanged thanks for his service and for my support of the police, along with other random pleasantries.. It made my day.
What a beautiful story!!!
You complexion looks absolutely gorgeous!
Loved your story 😍. It made me well up. Yes, we do need to share these types of stories from the rooftops. Inspiring, convicting. Let's be the light!
Completely agree! What we advertise thru media and news stories does influence what happens… share all the tragic stuff=see more tragic stuff … share amazing humans like that gentleman = developing more amazing humans. We should all be telling the media and public figures we want to see the good… not because bad doesn’t exist but rather because I believe we have a common goal of wanting good to win. Thank you soooo much for highlighting that! We will all likely find what we seek out … let it be inspiring ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ just like that gentleman ❣️
Love the Mario product. I bought mine and used it today for the first time. I used it on my forehead, cheeks, across the nose, around the jawline, and down the neck.. loved the warmth it provided. Beautiful product
As a daughter of a Vietnam vet,your story touched me so much and made me cry.Thank you dear for sharing with us.😍
Clothes in the wash, morning cup of ☕ and Emily ... my Saturdays!
Beautiful story and your kindness to him was so lovely! Love your channel Em!
That Mario stuff looks incredible.
The flower story is so heart warming. Very very sweet.
There are definitely more wonderful people out there than we can imagine. ❤️☮️
Me crying at that story omg love him so much
I love spending my Saturday morning, getting ready for work, hanging out with you. It is just such a positive, joyful start to my morning. That story about the older gentleman was so sweet and heart-warming. ❤️ The whole look came out beautifully and I was super surprised at how gorgeous that Mario sculpter turned out all over the face! Like you said, so many people have been using it as a cream bronzer, but it just gave such a radiance and eveness to your skin. So pretty! Thank you Emily for always being a bright, shining light on this platform. I always look forward to spending time with you! I hope you all have a wonderful day and I hope your mom, dad, and Pup are doing well! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Today I used the Wants and the Needs palettes and it will always be my ride or die choice. Thanks so much. Your creativity is appreciated.
aw Ann thank you so much!!
The Elf Tan Line Bronzer I think is such a great product and shade for fair to medium skin tones if you want a great cream product that blends beautifully and lasts all day while looking for natural, not red, not orange like so many bronzers are but the perfect tone to give you that natural shadow and warmth and a little goes a very long way. I would compare it to the Huda beauty cream bronzer everyone loves so much.
Have you tried the Physicians Formula stick concealer, it’s been around forever, Emily? It is so creamy (but not too creamy where it melts in a purse, but isn’t dry like so many stick concealers are, like Revlon Colorstay is) has great coverage, perfect formula and staying power, but still seriously lacks color options, but it would work for you and it is bomb, hidden gem for sure. And their Instaready concealer is also a gem people totally forgot about for a very full coverage concealer that stays in all weather or temps, works great for driest of dry under eye to more oily under eyes and doesn’t get crapey, fantastic for more mature skin because it blends in so well while looking like skin.
Bawling. I’m so proud to call myself a veteran, not because of anything I’VE done but because of the amazing group of people I got to serve with from all eras. You are right, there’s still so much good in the world. Service before self (one of the AF core values) is a wonderful principle to teach our kids and it’s awesome yours got to see that in action so they understand what it’s really about. What a lovely man, I’m sure you made his day too!
Coffee+Emily equals a great start to my Saturday. Thanks for sharing that sweet story.
Loving the glowy summery look you put together. Interested in all those products.
I love the Danessa Myricks blurring balm. I live in Florida and it lasts so well for me. When it starts to wear off, it wears off so beautifully.
100% can confirm it is fantastic on my oily skin in the HORRENDOUS South Georgia heat!
Oh, where can we purchase that blush?
I loved your Lowe's story. What a kind person and a wonderful example for your children. 💋❤️
Always love starting our Saturday together getting ready! Have a great weekend Em!! 🤗
You too, Tiffany! Thanks for watching!
Your interaction with this older gentleman is exactly what is missing in our current generation. We feel it's heartwarming and remarkable, but that's because the days of being friendly, of sharing smiles and making a generous gesture are so rare now. I'm sure he's thinking of you and the kids too! You never know what his story is...maybe he misses his kids and grandkids, or maybe he doesn't have any. Or maybe he thinks of his daughter when he interacted with you. Whatever his story, God places people in our path at the right time.
Your videos just always lift the mood Emily 💐 I can’t wait to see these goodies especially the Benefit bronzer. Have a lovely weekend with the fam 😊 Love ya
aww thank you!! Love you too, Virginia!
Love Saturday morning with Emily!!!
I agree about shouting out these experiences about so much good still in the world! Sometimes it’s so easy to forget💜! This look is absolutely STUNNING. 🔥
