i have serious dry skin being on dialysis so i take your recommendations to heart. i am such a fan! i am almost 40 and i love geeking out over makeup with you! im waiting for the colourpop pretty fresh line... have you reviewed it yet? anyways, love you! stay awesome!
Excellent video - as usual. One tip.... exasperate vs exacerbate. And you're right - we need different cosmetics once we reach a certain age. Of course I'm almost old enough to be your mother, too!! Keep up the great work, you're a joy to watch!!
This is a great mixing foundation. Especially like cover fx drops, or dermablend....... Adding one tiny drop of that new full coverage stila foundation........
Thank you for reviewing this. I was thinking of getting it this weekend. But don't know now, because I have more fine lines and I am a little older than you.
Thanks! Yes, 4 me, it is more of an anomaly to have a good skin day than bad. Always searching for the things that help hide & make my skin look better. I'm glad you cover the truth, good or bad.
I've been loving this foundation so much lately. I use fair/light (summer shade) and it matches perfect, which is nice. I love it with a damp sponge, it just goes on without any effort. ☺ I was interested to see if you had a video on this one, and you DID. ❤
LOL it definitely reflects red in the studio lights! I'm about due to dye again. I bought a box of the Madison Reed hair dye to review - I think it's a mahogany shade. Ulta carries it now.
Pretty look! Can you believe how many cream blushes they are coming out with? We have had so many new foundations already launched in the last few months....I was in Walmart today and it is hard to see everything, so many new items! Love it!
Me, watching this video because I have bought this foundation at Grocery Outlet store just for $3.99 🙌👍🏻😊 As usual great video review. Thank you Shelly🌹
I definitely had an issue with this emphasizing dry patches and didn't see that much blurring effect. It's an okay foundation for my dry skin, in my opinion.
Not sure what you have planned but I just made an order on colourpop. I started to get the Hello Fresh or whatever the heck..the hydrating concealer and foundation? Is that one in the near future? I know you have a bunch planned so I talked myself out of it (even thought there's a huge sale going on lol). As far as this video, Wow! Covergirl has got some hustle these days, haha! Thanks for the review, as always!
I just filmed that review yesterday :) for next week! I had to get 3 Fair Warm because there are no cool undertones in the fair range (what the heck???)
hi, shelly - happy monday! all those cg items, warm the cockles in this d.d.'s heart! this will be one i will try with coupon & crts plus some extra bucks. thanks so much! ~k
Greetings Shelly! Thanks so much for the review. I absolutely the “announcer voice” in the first part of the video! Seriously, you’re a scream. On your recommendation, I bought the Revlon Anti-Pollution foundation as well as the NYX Born to Glow foundation. I’m very happy with both. I love your Covergirl reviews and am so happy that they’ve included you on their PR list. I find that you do the most thorough reviews and I feel sure that they like your candid approach too! Hugs to the kitties and why the heck not?.....a hug to you! 😅. Happy Tuesday! 🐈 🐾🐾🐾
I think your skin looks beautiful! I didn’t notice any dry spots but you will see it better. This looks like a nice foundation too bad it’s not full coverage. I am a full coverage type of girl. It does have a perfect finish. I really enjoyed your very informative review of this product. 👍🏻👍🏻🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
I had a TERRIBLE reaction to a new sunscreen on Thursday. My face ended up being a red, ITCHY, bumpy welt. I knew that no matter what I did for healing, it wouldn’t be good by Saturday. I was donating treats from my biz for the local NPR station pledge drive and knew there would be pics. The green Cover Girl True Blend primer was a LIFE SAVER. I still had some mega texture from the rash, but my skin wasn’t reddish purple. I know this video is 4 years old but wondered if you had ever tried it.
Ha! I was looking at this one at the store today but picked up the Trublend with the white cap instead. The Skin Milk looks like it would be great for warm and humid summer months. :)
I wish my local drugstore would have some of these new foundations. They did have a new (new to me) Physicans Formula natural defense foundation that I am curious about but seems the cover is sheer
Did you dye your hair? It looks really good, compliments your skin tone well Oh, and my all-time favorite concealer (before they discontinued it 🤬) is from Covergirl and I also love their aqua smooth foundation. They have a really good color match for my skin and I find their base products always work well for me
I love your backyard! I would be doing so much in it if I had that space. Your hair is looking beautiful and healthy. I love your videos, mostly when you do cruelty free brands. Blessed Be! :)
Not bad, but I'd agree that it doesn't seem like one geared toward older skin. There seem to be enough new ones coming out that are targeted toward those of us who are older that I don't feel any FOMO skipping the ones that aren't.
Rene Klein hi! I’m 65 and this is my favorite foundation! I’ve used high end and drugstore since 15. This is fantastic for me. I have dry skin with an oily nose. I use nothing under it.my skin loves it..it literally melts into my skin and ...can you tell I love this foundation? Lol
@@goow makes sense. I got it yesterday, but I think the shade match is going to be too light, but will try it out today. Will let you know. Thanks, Shelly!
Hi Keeshea! There are quite a few that I like! Here are my top 5 high end ones - ua-cam.com/video/lHuoHFx_cD4/v-deo.html and for drugstore, I'd say Makeup Revolution Fast Base Stick, Nyx Born to Glow, the AOA Studio Drop foundation, and a new one I've got coming in a video Friday- the Purito Cica Clearing BB Cream. Here's my master list of foundations - if you scroll down to the spreadsheet and use the search box in the top right corner and type in vegan, it'll show only vegan foundations I've reviewed (ranked) - geekoutofwater.com/foundation-fest/
Ok I’m late to the party watching this ... however you got my attention on cookies 🍪 and + I’ve got a $3 coupon 👏🏻😉😁 I also love you’re tats ~ I’ve got 13 myself ~
I love the photofocus. I think it is really good for my skin. I do like full coverage. Oh I can't handle food scents on any products. wow, you live in such a lovely area!!!!! wow, 180!!!! Girl, you got it going on. xoxo have you checked out the Facebook group Platinum UA-camrs? It is NOT a sub for sub. truly a great place to learn from each other.
I didn't like the cooling stick as a highlight and it was sort of misleading. It's way too slick to be swiped on top of foundation. It's nice as a before makeup treatment for sure
This sounds like a good summertime, “knocking around, but not needing to be glammed up” kind of makeup. Maybe I’ll give it a try using my CVS Bucks. I just signed up for the CarePass and the bonus is $10 Extra Bucks to spend every month. I can practically try it for free! As for your “mixed metaphors”, sounds like “brain getting ahead of mouth” syndrome. I always used to tell my kids to reread their work. (“Don’t let brain get ahead of your pencil.”) I have some formers well into their 30s who say they still remember me telling them that when they catch themselves making mistakes. A couple have said they’ve said it to their own kids. Apparently they’ve continued the lessons of “Mrs. Melby-isms” that I used over the years. What a legacy!
I’m curious to hear your thoughts on the Clinique brand of foundations, and specifically the Even Better Refresh foundation that came out maybe 10 months ago. Why didn’t it get any Shelly-time when it came out? 😉
I haven't had super great luck with Clinique foundations (they've been hit or miss for me) so I tend not to put them at the top of my buy list. But for some reason I feel like I've got the Even Better in my bin to review ...? I have to look!
Geek Out of Water I value your reviews so I always check your master list before trying things. You’ve probably saved me from wasting some money over the past couple years. Thanks for all you do!
I recently started using a humidifier in my bedroom. It has the option to adjust just how much mist it sends out and it's compact and quiet. I think it has changed my winter skin dramatically. (I'm in Israel and it's a local machine, so I can't recommend to everyone else)
Hiiii I love your channel and reviews!! But I didn't like this foundation at all I have very dry skin and this made my face look Soo dry horrible and it has no lasting power ughh it clings on wrinkles and dry patches this is a no🙅 for me
denatured alcohol is the worst kind of alcohol, from what I've heard and if it's high up on the ingredients list I wouldn't use it on a daily basis. if u don't mind me saying that. I'm a worrier though lol
It's definitely an ingredient to pay attention to. When properly formulated with other ingredients to balance out the dehydrating nature of it, it can be fine (particularly in skin care where it can help to get other active ingredients through the skin's lipid barrier more easily) - but that assumes a good formulation. Many products use it as a cheap filler, and in those cases it's very likely to be drying. And some people are more sensitive to it than others, so you should definitely pay attention to your skin when using products with denatured alcohol in them.
@@goow I didn't no all that. I just heard that u should avoid it when it's high on the Ingredients list but I appreciate u taking the time 2 go Into it more 4 me. thank u!!!
Skin milk is just a advertising trend in Asian markets, milky as in brightening, white, pearly clear young skin. But I don't think foundation in western markets perform the same. Skin milk is a literal translation that's why it sounds weird. I just chuckle when they do that.
Ahhh and I love the name! Reminds me of K-beauty 😊 Too bad the foundation doesn't make the cut for me, because cookie scented foundation also sounds very appealing to me haha.
Correct. It hydrates the cells in the body. Both my skin and my body dehydrate easily. I was dehydrated overall; tangential conversation. My apologies for the confusion.
Nope. Not good enough for my picky ass. It's too bad too, because I love the name of this one, and besides, who doesn't want their foundation to smell like cookies?! 🍪🤘
Covergirl was the first foundation I ever used. I was 15. That was 55 years ago! It would appear that Covergirl is still going strong! Thanks Shelly.😚
That is awesome!!!
This is on my list to get. I'm loving sheer coverage atm.
Covergirl has always in my opinion come out with great foundations, even their powders are good, so I’m definitely going to give this one a try 😁
i have serious dry skin being on dialysis so i take your recommendations to heart. i am such a fan! i am almost 40 and i love geeking out over makeup with you!
im waiting for the colourpop pretty fresh line... have you reviewed it yet?
anyways, love you! stay awesome!
Nicole Webster I hope you get better soon , you are so young with this health issue!
I just filmed the ColourPop for next week! (I like it!)
I just love ur channel, I hope more people find u! Ur skin is always so pretty & I love ur “geeky” personality❤️
Thanks, Gabriel! I knew there had to be some more geeks out there!! :-D
Great detailed review! This clung to my dry skin and made polkadots of my pores. So happy we can return products!
Aw, man. I was really hoping I'd like this. I have that same problem with my pores and foundation so this would probably do the same thing to me.
Excellent video - as usual. One tip.... exasperate vs exacerbate. And you're right - we need different cosmetics once we reach a certain age. Of course I'm almost old enough to be your mother, too!! Keep up the great work, you're a joy to watch!!
I was clearly having word issues throughout this video 😂phrases, metaphors, pronunciations, you name it!
When I saw it all I could think was this is made for younger skin, but like all the stuff in it. Thank you
"They are just knocking my world out of the Park, that don't even make sense..." 😂😂😂 Me all the time 😂.
😂😂😂
SO EXCITED YOURE REVIEWING THIS!!
This is a great mixing foundation. Especially like cover fx drops, or dermablend....... Adding one tiny drop of that new full coverage stila foundation........
Looks so natural & very pretty on you!!
Thank you for reviewing this. I was thinking of getting it this weekend. But don't know now, because I have more fine lines and I am a little older than you.
Thanks! Yes, 4 me, it is more of an anomaly to have a good skin day than bad. Always searching for the things that help hide & make my skin look better. I'm glad you cover the truth, good or bad.
Yay!! Picked this up but put it back until your review came out! Thanks so much for the review! ❤️
Yay!! Another good drugstore foundation!!💗
I've been loving this foundation so much lately. I use fair/light (summer shade) and it matches perfect, which is nice. I love it with a damp sponge, it just goes on without any effort. ☺ I was interested to see if you had a video on this one, and you DID. ❤
The redder your hair looks, the happier it makes me. 👩🏻🦰👩🏻🦰👩🏻🦰
The new cream blushes from Covergirl and Milani certainly intrigue me. ☺️
LOL it definitely reflects red in the studio lights! I'm about due to dye again. I bought a box of the Madison Reed hair dye to review - I think it's a mahogany shade. Ulta carries it now.
Pretty look! Can you believe how many cream blushes they are coming out with? We have had so many new foundations already launched in the last few months....I was in Walmart today and it is hard to see everything, so many new items! Love it!
I'm in makeup heaven this time of year!! I save up all of my Ulta points for spring! :-D and.... now they're gone lol
I think it looks really beautiful!! I really like this foundation and I'm only a few years younger than you.
I think it looks pretty on you Shelly for an everyday natural makeup. Could you please review the new L'oreal Foundation for mature skin?:)
Hi Shelly, I like how this foundation look on your skin💕if it covered my redness it's worth trying, thank you for another awesome review
Your make up look looks very flattering in this video! 😊
Me, watching this video because I have bought this foundation at Grocery Outlet store just for $3.99 🙌👍🏻😊 As usual great video review. Thank you Shelly🌹
Score on that price!!!!
Hi Shelly! Do you have a video about placement of bronzer, blush, and highlighter? Love your channel!
I'll add that to the list! Thanks, Avee!
I definitely had an issue with this emphasizing dry patches and didn't see that much blurring effect. It's an okay foundation for my dry skin, in my opinion.

I was thinking of getting this but you helped me to pass on it. Thanks!!

I've been eyeing this one... Also Shelly have you seen that new Joah mascara?? The uprising I think it is?
Ooooh no I'll grab it next time I go to CVS! Thanks!
New subbie here 👋 I'm over 40 but super oily...glad I found your channel. I gonna have to try this. Thanks for the review

Ok, now I'm on the fence. I may just have to bite the bullet and give it a try.
It's looks great on you. Let's see if it likes 60 year old skin!! 😲
Rene Klein hi! I’m 65 and this is my favorite foundation! I’ve used high end and drugstore since 15. This is fantastic for me. I have dry skin with an oily nose. I use nothing under it.my skin loves it..it literally melts into my skin and ...can you tell I love this foundation? Lol
what about coverage. is it really sheer?
@@cindyduhon1343 thank you Cindy, for your input! So glad that you love it. Going to grab it today!
I'd say it's sheer to light, but a light end of light if that makes sense.
@@goow makes sense. I got it yesterday, but I think the shade match is going to be too light, but will try it out today. Will let you know. Thanks, Shelly!
I’m curious about the concealer for this
So does this one remind you of the Colourpop pretty fresh? It seems like it might, I kind of like that one....
I just filmed the Pretty Fresh yesterday - this is a little bit lighter of coverage I'd say. I like the ColourPop!
I picked up the elf hydrating camo concealer tonight going to give that a whirl! 🙌🏻
Haven’t tried it yet but in your video I thought it looked more like a BB cream.
Yep it's definitely light coverage like a BB.
Hi Shelly, I don't think that one would work for me , (good to know!) Your property is so pretty! It looks like a park🌲🌳
I love all of the trees here! Especially when there are leaves lol
Did yours have a protecting seal on the tip? I'm wondering bc my did not and I'm hoping that's how it comes
Hi Alex! I don't specifically remember, but I think I would've been surprised if it didn't - so I'm thinking it probably did.
I feel like she got more coverage with the brush. You can tell from the close up.
hi shelly! which vegan foundation is your favourite? thanks

Have you tried the Exhibitionist lipstick? What do you think of it?
I haven't yet! I bought 2 shades to try.

Cookies and coupons sounds like a fantastic day to me!

Hi Shelly
Did you find the new mascara smudged much? I have no time for smudge 🤣
I've had no smudging issues (though I only wear it on the upper lashes, as I wear Estee Lauder Double Wear Zero Smudge on my bottom lashes).
I’m curious to hear your thoughts on the Clinique brand of foundations, and specifically the Even Better Refresh foundation that came out maybe 10 months ago. Why didn’t it get any Shelly-time when it came out? 😉

Does not work on my 53yr old skin dry daisy looking and pools in my pores
i tried this and hated it :(
👍❤️
I have to say, I HATE the name of this foundation. What is "Skin Milk?" It just doesn't sound right. LOL
I think there are Korean products with similar names.
Skin milk is just a advertising trend in Asian markets, milky as in brightening, white, pearly clear young skin. But I don't think foundation in western markets perform the same. Skin milk is a literal translation that's why it sounds weird. I just chuckle when they do that.
Yep I was guessing they were making a play on the K-beauty trends.
Ahhh and I love the name! Reminds me of K-beauty 😊 Too bad the foundation doesn't make the cut for me, because cookie scented foundation also sounds very appealing to me haha.
Drinking water doesn't hydrate your skin.
Correct. It hydrates the cells in the body. Both my skin and my body dehydrate easily. I was dehydrated overall; tangential conversation. My apologies for the confusion.
@@goow You're way to YOUNG to be that dehydrated! ☮💚🧡💜
Nope. Not good enough for my picky ass. It's too bad too, because I love the name of this one, and besides, who doesn't want their foundation to smell like cookies?! 🍪🤘
Coconut? No! I hate coconut. Gives me cystic painful acne.
It’s coconut water not oil. I can’t use anything with coconut oil,but, my skin love this
Love your videos but you seem to say exasperating alot and I believe you mean exacerbating
This was probably the video where so many people pointed it out that I finally learned the difference =D lol
