- Saw this all over - so thought I'd have a go with the new foundation in water routine. Have to say the make up has lasted all day, even through swimming with the children (not that I did much actual swimming)!
Oh Helen, you make me laugh (in a good way)! You’re so real and honest. You’re open about your flaws of which we ALL have. Fab little vlog xx
Oh thank you! xx
Can't stop laughing over the 'goldfish poo'. Your such a lovely lady, so honest and down to earth. Just keep them coming Helen x
Thank you.xx
I'm new to your channel. I have watched most of your videos now and love them all. You are so open and honest and natural. I love it. So refreshing. Thank you. I hope your hip gets sorted sooner rather than later. X
Thank you Kerstin, glad you enjoyed the videos xx
Love you Helen. You make me laugh. You are so real in all your presentations.
I'm so glad! xx
The finish looks lovely Helen. Love your rambling x
Hahaha, thank you xx
Loved this video. You’re so down to earth and honest. Hope swimming helped your hip. Xx
Thanks Lynn, it was lovely xx
This was so much fun to watch. It does give off a glowing finish. Your really good at applying make-up, and it suits you. You’re very glamorous. I really enjoyed watching😊💛
Thank you so much!! xx
Love this video so much, Helen! You are a hoot! I really identify with everything you said. Love your honesty so much. XXX
Thank you for your lovely comment and for watching xx
Lovely video Helen thank you. I'm not a big make-up person ,but like to watch people apply it.
Love to watch your videos for pure entertainment 😂. None of the dresses you show would fit me but I just love how your honesty and sense of humour. Just keep being you..... you're brilliant 😃
Thanks Lynne, that's a lovely comment xx
Thank you so much for the tip, first time I’ve heard about it 🙈 I’m always late to the party 😂 will definitely give it a go. Hope you’re pain is more manageable today, bless you 🙏 xxx
Thank you Julie-Ann xx
I enjoyed your video Helen, thank you.
Really enjoyed that video I did chuckle when you said how good your makeup bag was and can find things easy then couldn’t find your blusher 😂. Can I ask what eyebrow tint you as I’ve not had much success with the one I use ?
You look Amazing, love your look😍
Thank you xx
Helen you are so enjoyable to watch, loved that vlog, love watching you , you look lovely ❤xx
Love this Helen your so down to earth 👍
Yep, that's me, thank you xx
Thanks for the brilliant video and mmm, I’ll maybe give it a go. It’s lovely to see how we all put our faces on and really enjoyed your tips. I’d be interested to hear about your experiences with derma-planing. I’m tempted but dubious about how the hair grows back. Hope you get some relief with your hip after swimming. Xxx
Thank you Becky. I love the effect of dermaplaning, it makes your skin so smooth, it exfoliates and gets rid of the 'fluff' too. No problem with grow back xx
Looks good!
I like your honesty. Well done 👍
Thank you 😊 xx
enjoyed this video so much, well your never too old to learn something new😏who’d have thought that by putting foundation in water would create such a lovely finish, i’ll give anything a try once, I think your whole face looked fabulous, and talking of me being old what on earth is dermaplaining, not even sure how to spell it, i’ve never heard of it is it painful, hope not 😳.Love all of your videos and you really make me smile you are such a fun lady, thank you.x
Hi Hazel, dermaplaning is not painful, unless you get it wrong..... have a little look on line. I like doing it as it gives a lovely smooth surface for creams etc. Thanks for watching xx
Looking good! Will have to try this tip. Hope the swimming helped with your hip x
Thank you Linda, it was great xx
Thanks Helen, make-up looked great! xx
Oh thank you! xx
I enjoyed watching you do your makeup. Some good ideas too. The chatter was fun too. Thank you.
Thank you so much! xx
Your makeup looks really nice!
Funeral outfit perfect!
Thank you very much xx
Like hanging out with a friend, you’ve got a cracking sense of humour the goldfish poo 💩 had me in stitches, Thanks for the makeup tips we all need a little help with that 🤣
Thank you. That's how I feel, like I'm chatting to a friend, I just don't let them get a word in edgeways! hahaha xx
Lovely finish .. Thanks for showing us .. Hope you enjoyed your swim & it did your hip pain good 👍 x

Enjoyed that video thanks ..
THE KIDS ARE SO CUTE DOES BILLY LOOK LIKE HIS DAD. HATTIE LOOKS LIKE HER MOTHERS DOUBLE 😊😊❤❤❤❤
Yes he does xx
Hi Helen another wonderful video just watched your John Lewis haul - if you read this you will think that person got nothing better to do !!!! no seriously I enjoy your videos & you are clarifying a few issues for me. The main one is perfume I have been saying that the old classics that I still use were not the same strenght & they do not last half as long!!! now I know why
Hi Lorraine, thank you. Thank you for watching and I'm glad you enjoy the videos. xx
Thanks!
Welcome! xx
Quite a glowy finish..Thanks from one of the Hel's belles
Hi Nic, wasn't so 'glowy' in natural light. Thanks for watching and being in the 'club' xx
Great video! 👍
Thank you! 👍 xx
I’ll have to try that for my brows as I have to fill them in
It's really good xx
Makeup looks lovely Helen
Thank you xx
You are such good fun, loved your makeup video. You look lovely, and I enjoy your chats.
Thank you so much xx
Good job - you look good! So what do you do with the foundation? Just drop it in a glass of water? What's the idea behind it? It does give a nice finish. Totally agree about the Naked Basics 2 - my favorite - never found anything else as good. You might want to try Grande Lash serum - a lot less than Revitalash and it definitely works for me. I recently tried The Ordinary one 'cause it was cheap as chips, but for me, it doesn't work at all, and the Grande Lash always works.
Hi Fiona, yes it did work but a bit of a gimmick really, Just drop into a cup of water let it separate and then use the colour from the base of the jar. Thanks for lash recommendation.
I buy the eyeshadow pallet from look fantastic x
Very nice look Helen. X
Glad you like it xx
Great video Helen, it’s like chatting to a friend.
Thank you xx
My favourite fragrance for many years was Estee Lauder Spellbound - I adored it. Comments I have seen about it now are saying that it has been re-formulated and does not smell the same.
It's so annoying when they do that. xx
Looking great girl
Thank you Margaret xx
The more i watch your videos the more i love ya . I'll give it a try never seen or heard of it before the foundation. I have a problem with my leg/hip not sure what it is. Been to doctors several times and all they do is send me for physio which makes it worse. But I've made an appointment to see a specialist as I can't put up with the pain and not knowing exactly whats going on with my leg/hip. xx
Hi Angela, you need an x-ray to establish if there is a problem. I went 8 years with my right hip, thinking it was muscular. Spent a fortune on an osteopath and it was my bones all along.....
Thank you for your lovely comment xx
I have ordered 3 things ! Thanks so much Helen , you help my confidence so much . Thanks again lovely Helen ,love your channel ....Rogers has closed or about to incase you don't know xxx
Yes, such a shame about Rogers..
That's a lovely comment, thank you xx
You’ve put me to shame! I’ve spent the day with scruffy hair and no make up on! 😂 I’ve never heard of this foundation hack, but your skin does look good with it xx
Thanks Bev. That would normally be me on a Sunday too! xx
Lovely make over Helen. I tend to use the same brand of make-up, but will try something different for a change. Do a little bit of mix and match like you do. So what did the Doctor say Helen? ( you never said). Hopefully he can give you some stronger pain killers! Take care xx
Hi Jean, thank you. Yes, stronger painkillers xx
Hi Helen, what was the Elf contour product you used? I’ve been trying to find crème contour but no luck in the stores (I was able to find one labeled contour but it was powder). Thanks for all the tips!
Hi, it's called Elf Putty Bronzer xx
I think we all need help from a certain age ..you look lovely Helen x
Thank you xx
Hi Helen, did you use cold or warm water with foundation? Keep up the good work.x
i used cold water. xx
Hi Helen your make up tutorial was very entertaining you are hilarious never taking yourself seriously how do you do your eyebrows?
Hi Marion, thank you. When you say "do my eyebrows". I tint them using 'just for me' hair dye. I'll try and film it next time I do it.... and then I use the Iconic pencil set for filling in any small gaps. I keep them neat and have them waxed or threaded every now and again. xx
Ha ha He will think hes on a promise!
Thank you - think I will try thst make up tip x
Not for long he didn't! hahaha xx
Hi Helen, your skin looks lovely, never heard this idea of squirting foundation into water. Did it change the finished look of your foundation at all? I hope your swim eased your pain, great exercise. Any exercise is better than none. ☺️
Hi, the foundation hack did change the foundation, but for the better it stayed on really well and didn't transfer. Not sure I could be bothered every time, but for a special occasion I probably would. xx
Enjoyed the video, thank you. I think Aromatics is Clinique or do Estée Lauder do one as well?
Hi Rosemary, Estee Lauder own Clinique xx. Thansk for watching xx
I didn’t know that - thank you, Helen x
I also use just for men to tent my eye brows.lasts much longer than having it done in a salon.
Love you Helen you really cheer me up lol xx how do you keep your teeth so white? I’m 70 on Thursday 😳 time flies! Xx
Hi Kay, thank you, glad you enjoy the vids. I think I'm just lucky 'teeth wise' xx
Oh and Happy Birthday for Thursday! xx
Hi Helen . Loved the make up video ..Could you tell me what tinted foundation you used please...Love all your video’s. It’s like visiting a friend when I see them ...Think you are doing really well , whatever topic you decide to talk about is always very interesting ... 😀xx
Thank you Elvira, it's a No 7 tinted moisturiser xx
@@Helenmaryjo what shade was it ?
I have all kinds of baby hair. Your makeup looks great
Thank you xx
Foundation this way is great, as doesn't transfer onto white shirts around neck line.
Yes, it's great xx
They have the eyeshadow palette on Amazon
I use “ lash cocaine” lash serum it’s really good
Hi Pauline, thank you. I managed to get one on Vinted. I'll take a look at that serum xx
Thank you Helen you're such a, lovely lady 💋🤗🤗
Thank you Tracey, that's a nice thing to say xx
What brand is sponge lipstick loved the colour x
Hi Angeline, I'm so sorry I can't find it... when I do, I'll let you know. xx
@@Helenmaryjo thank you don’t worry love that colour pink love watching you x
Great video as always. Hope your hip is a bit easier now. x
It is thank you the painkillers are working their magic. xx
Looking forward to the haul.I enjoy watching people apply makeup.Clinique for Aromatics Elixir. Not Esteelauder.
Hi Jane, Estée Lauder own Clinique. Thanks for watching xx
Hi Helen ,im new to your channel came over from Tina's talk time ,im going to enjoy your your channel take care
Welcome!! Thank you xx
Hi Helen, with regard to Clinique’s Aromatics Elixir, in my experience asking the manufacturers about fragrance formulation changes usually results in a complete denial. I’m not sure why this is, but if you look on Fragrantica you’ll see lots of folks saying the same. I’ve given up asking now. Loved this vid, thanks!
Hi Emme, yes I don't expect too much but maybe if everyone asks..... thanks for watching xx
This is the company response:
Clinique’s Aromatics Elixir is an iconic fragrance that has been enjoyed by our consumers for many years. As with all of our fragrances, the Aromatics Elixir must adhere to all worldwide regulatory requirements, and as these regulations change, we must slightly adapt the formulation to meet the new requirements. As such, there have been multiple reformulations of the Aromatics Elixir over the years and some loyal consumers may have noticed a shift in the scent. We’ve taken these comments to heart, and have made additional efforts to revive the original iconic Aromatics scent. We’re committed to preserving the long-lasting heritage of the Aromatics fragrance.
Helen a little tip for you if your mascara's going dry get some contact lens solution- put a few drops in your mascara and shake .It should make your mascara ok. 😚
Thanks for that - I’ll try it xx
Hi Helen I think your makeup is just right not too heavy not to light...you look good..
Oh thank you! xx
Hi Helen, love your videos do you use perfume? If so what do you use ?❤
I currently wear Clinique Aromatics. xx
Newbie you look lovely x
Oh thank you! xx
Have heard you mention dermaplaning a few times now. How often do you do it? And doesn’t it make you hair grow back thicker and prickly like a beard???
Hi, no it doesn't grow back stronger that's a bit of a myth. The reason it might feel stronger is because it has a blunt end, but it really does make a difference to the application of moisturisers and make up. xx
@@Helenmaryjo so as it is blunt is it prickly? Once you start doing it you have to keep it up?
@@tracyfiumara9218 Hi Tracy, not in my experience, and no you don't I did it just once a couple of years ago and it made no discernable difference to my facial hair at all when it grew back. x
@@Helenmaryjo sorry me again🙈 what kind of blade do you use? Have been thinking of trying this for a while so
Might give it a go.
@@tracyfiumara9218 I bought mine on Amazon, they're cheap. Just watch a couple of videos first about the angle and go gently. Hope you like it xx
Thank you. 🤩. Brilliant video.( Ps: biotin gummies available online for hair.)
Thank you xx
I have exactly the same issue with my hair as well as thinning eyebrows. Someone told me that it could be a sign of an underactive thyroid so I'm going to go for tests.
Hi, I'm not too worried about my hair, think it was a hormonal blip but if it gets worse I will see the Dr. Good luck with your tests xx
I’m being a bit thick but did the foundation drop to the bottom or stay on the top of the water?
It drops the bottom and that's the bit you use. I picked it up with a teaspoon but you could use the end of a make up brush.
Thanks for watching xx
I haven’t ventured into the world of TikTok yet…….maybe I need to give it a go lol! X
It's a rabbit hole.... be warned, haha xx
@@Helenmaryjo that’s why I’ve kept away lol 😂
Hi helen great video. Have you tried vinted for yr eyeshadow palette? Xx
No I haven't, I'll have a look, thanks xx
Just had a quick look and I can see 2 listed, ones £10 the other is £12 there is probably more but I only had a quick search xx
@@michellenicholson740 thank you xx
I bought one, thank you for the recommendation. xx
Yr very welcome I'm addicted to vinted 🤦♀️ There's not much you cant find on there. Xx
You are very witty 😂
Thank Scots xx
