I am absolutely loving this series! Pores coming out to play! I'm going to steal that expression from you! Thanks for your research and in depth demos. I had high hopes for this as I admire their ideas, but so disappointed with the performance and wear time. Looking forward to the next video! Thanks for all your hard work!
Hi shelly, i remember company from years ago, liked most products. There used to be a cream make up in a jar i liked....but the search continues. Thanks for your videos.
I'm so excited for this review! I went into their store all the time when I lived in Istanbul, but I've never heard another American talk about this brand. I bought 2 of their perfumes but no makeup. The store is like a more sophisticated Body Shop in terms of vibe.
Pretty bottle and a nice pump, and the color was good, disappointing that it just didn't work.....the eye color is very pretty, even matches your top......so glad you do the arm swatches, it is really helpful.....
Geek Out of Water Funny, but I see your skin up close, and it's lovely! I truly believe that a lot of the foundations make us look older, and our skin worse than it is. And you've been proving it with the last few foundations! See you tonight. 😘
am i the only one that gets my Yves Rocher products in a store also just wanna say i love Yves Rocher I have been shoping at the store for 8 years and have had a membership card for 7 years!
Hi Shelley, I'm so happy I found your channel. I noticed that you have a superhuman mirror. Is it as life changing as "they" say? At 44, I think I need a magnification mirror and would love the superhuman mirror but is it worth the $? I would really appreciate your thoughts on it. Thank you!
Hi Emily! I would say, get one of the middle-priced ones. I love the 8" size but I really don't use all of the lighting comparison features that are in the app which jack up the price. The mirror itself is great - there is no tiny little focal point where you have to be at some perfect distance from it to be able to see. The whole mirror is in focus. It's perfectly cut so there's no distortion, and the light is bright enough to really help with makeup application - an even wash on the face and not just hot spots around the edges. For those things, I'd definitely buy another if something happened to mine - but I wouldn't pay extra for the model with all the bluetooth stuff. I've never used any of it and I've had the mirror for over a year.
Geek Out of Water I’ve bought some less expensive ones and returned them for the same problems you mentioned. So I’m going to buy the superhuman mirror. Thanks so much for replying and for being so genuine Shelley! Have a great day!
'Nother brilliant review Shelly. Not too bad a foundation, but something about it is just not grabbing me... I have to admit, I was kinda hoping for a prettier finish (specially considering their spiel & claims) and it just sorta seemed a bit "meh", and the colour I think may be a wee tad too yellow for me - and checking the website, that was supposed to be the cooler one! Your swatches - soooo very helpful seeing the comparison swatches - thanks heaps for always doing them, so very appreciated!!!.
I feel like swatch comparisons are almost the only way to really see the true undertones, because even just on our skin, it will be skewed to whatever our skin's base is. But seeing a warm next to a true neutral or a cool, they jump out more.
Yep, exactly... you can see whether their undertones truly are warm, neutral or cool, and how "intense" those undertones are compared to others, even others of the same sort (ie some warms are "more warm" than others, some pinks more pink or blueish/grey, etc).
Hey Shelly! Another informative video ♥ I definitely think I'll pass on this one with my dry patches and texture! Will you be trying the new Colourpop foundation?
Hi Jessica! Yep the Colourpop is one of the first I plan to buy when I get back home! I'm traveling until the end of July though so it'll be a little bit.
Geek Out of Water Oh nice! Thank you for responding so quickly 💜, my notifications always get lost in a sea of upload notifications lol. I hope you are enjoying your summer so far!
Hi Shelly! I have just about given up on finding a foundation that looks good on my nose, lol. I think the cover girl simply ageless and the maybelline superstay are the only I can manage. I usually just use concealer lol. I also think magnifying mirrors are evil, but necessary 😬 Hope you have a great day!!
I don't mind products that have scent from ingredients like rose water is made from roses so it smells like roses... But synthetic scents make my face itch terribly. Looks like one to avoid. That mascara looks like it does amazing things! Your lashes look great!
I have tried every brand from La Mer to MAC, and from Tarte Clay Foundation to L'Oréal Infallible. But nothing worked for my skin, until I tried Super Mat by Yves Rocher. It's not the same as this one. It mattifies your skin instantly, and it will stay matte for more than 8 hours. It's not patchy and it does not cling to any textures and does not settle into fine lines. Please do not disregard this brand, until you've tried Super Mat by Yves Rocher.
Firstly, LASHES💜 just lovely!! OMG I have to grab me some CT. Too bad this one didn’t work out, I love the company’s environmental mission. Maybe I’ll check out their site for other products. I’d love to offer support to a company that embraces environmental responsibility
Hi Maro! There are a few things to consider that I would need more information to guess your shade. First would be how light or dark you are - very fair, fair, light, light medium, medium, etc - all of those could fall under white. Then you need to figure out your undertone, such as cool (pink), warm (yellow), neutral, olive, etc. When you know those things at least approximately, it's easier to choose the foundation shade. I have an older video about how to figure out what your skin tone is - ua-cam.com/video/t5U6wk84iDw/v-deo.html
I just want a foundation to last all day without having to try too hard to make it work. It is amazing how many bad products there are out there. Have you done the Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua?
Hi Laura! I haven't yet but it's in my bin to review when I get back! It arrived right before I wrapped up the mega-fest and I got it in my more summer shade, and since I was totally pale I figured I'd wait until I got back from Ireland. Ironically I'm getting some sun here, even though I'm swimming in sunscreen every day. It's been oddly sunny for Ireland!
hi, shelly! i need to get some cat ears to engage - as mama to a collective! i'm glad to see this brand is still around and like their commitment to the environment. i wish the foundation had held up better, to say the least. alas, it did not. so on to the next. hope you are doing well, that life is giving you great joy! hugs! ~k
That’s so cool that you volunteer! Awesome!!! Hahaha Omgoodness when foundations talk up their products. 🤔🧐🙃🤣 Hahaha!!! Cat Ears Engage 😻... awesome review! I try to stay away from the liquid thin foundations, thank you for this review!!! I always have problems with them.
Hi Lio! Yep whenever I have a review that doesn't go as well as I'd hoped, I try it at least 2 more times off-camera in different ways to see if there's anything I can do differently to help it along. I wasn't able to get the Yves Rocher to work for me, unfortunately.
I'm having good luck with a couple skin care items I bought from them at the same time I bought the foundation, so I'm glad I can support them that way!
Wow.. another fail! But you soldier on for us makeup geeks!! I'm about to test out the Lawless foundation today in work at the salon. Had to order another shade (trials of ordering online) and the finish is beautiful but I'll see how it wears on my 49 yr old skin. Thanks again Shelly!
back in the day all we ever used was fingertips. We didn’t have brushes or sponges. fingertips are the way to go with all foundations. sponges always take foundations away and brushes just a money taker...lol
Love your eyeshadow look in this video! Foundations with a heavy fragrance and/or tackiness that won't dry down are no-go's for me. :( Makeup with heavy fragrance irritates my eyes more than anything else. Makes them water which just causes a domino effect with my eyeliner, mascara, etc.... :/
Shame this one wasn't a great product. The sale price point is nice, and I like the idea of such an eco-aware company. But with that scent, I'd be afraid to try it anyway.
I got a few of their skin care items when I placed the foundation order that I'm still testing out, and so far I like the skin care quite a bit - so if that ends up being how I support them, so be it. Because like you - I really like what the company is all about.
Ugh....Just too hard to deal with. There are way too many other foundations out there, without all the problems. I'm all for the botanicals too, but it has to be something that wears well; and this just doesn't. You threw everything that you could at it, to get it to work, but it just wasn't in the cards. Nice try though. Thanks for another IN-DEPTH review, Shelly!
Thanks, Jeanne! I'm having some luck with a couple of their skin care items that I bought, so fingers crossed they'll make it into a favorites and I can support them that way.
I just wanted to also let you know that I have subscribed to BoxyCharm, because of you! And, I absolutely LOVE it! I just got my second(June) box, and so far I am very pleased, and have really enjoyed playing with all my new products! It is so awesome going to the mailbox and getting a great present every month! Thank you so much for the recommendation! 💕
You are one of the best reviewers I've ever seen, love your videos!
Thanks, Jacqueline!
I enjoy all the details you give in your reviews - I find them tremendously helpful!
Thanks, Michelle! I knew there had to be others out there that like all the details like I do!

How I love you coming through the screen. Thanks!
Oh no. One more to cross off the list. Thanks, Shelly, for sharing this. By the way, I see no wrinkles on your face. You have beautiful skin! 💖
Thanks, Rene! Sometimes these foundations make me wonder if I'm just in denial lol.

There's always another day, another foundation! LOL

Did you return the Sunday Riley foundation? 🐦🐦🐦🐦
I did! I rarely return foundations, but the unwearable ones go back.
I just want a foundation to last all day without having to try too hard to make it work. It is amazing how many bad products there are out there. Have you done the Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua?

Geek Out of Water Sun in Ireland?? I thought there was some kind of law against that. :) Can't wait for the rest of the reviews!@

Thanks, Karen! Having a great time in Ireland! I got the cat ears at Target :-D
I'm surprised to see they are still around. That's an old brand
I haven't seen that name in 30yrs
That’s so cool that you volunteer! Awesome!!!
Hahaha Omgoodness when foundations talk up their products. 🤔🧐🙃🤣
Hahaha!!! Cat Ears Engage 😻... awesome review! I try to stay away from the liquid thin foundations, thank you for this review!!! I always have problems with them.
Have you tried it on clean skin? Not with that spray before??
Hi Lio! Yep whenever I have a review that doesn't go as well as I'd hoped, I try it at least 2 more times off-camera in different ways to see if there's anything I can do differently to help it along. I wasn't able to get the Yves Rocher to work for me, unfortunately.
@@goow Aww, that's good to know, and also.. a shame that it didn't work xD
YAY I heart 💖 their products
I'm having good luck with a couple skin care items I bought from them at the same time I bought the foundation, so I'm glad I can support them that way!
Great job

I can't wait to get back home and try that one!!
Your skin looks so nice like you don't need foundation.
Thank you! I mostly just want to cover up my sun spots and freckles and even everything out with foundation.
Very interesting
Cat Ear's Engaged !!!!! 😄😄😍😍😼😼 LoL haaaaaaa 😘💕
Love Thebestgift I have a pair just like yours.😻 in fact, I have 4 pairs and wear them often.
I think I got that one at Target!
back in the day all we ever used was fingertips. We didn’t have brushes or sponges. fingertips are the way to go with all foundations. sponges always take foundations away and brushes just a money taker...lol
That was the way I used to determine if a foundation was "good" or not: if it felt and blended smoothly with my fingers. If it dragged, forget it!
"Cat ears engaged" hahahaha! the best
😸😸😸

Yeah sometimes they make me sneeze! My nose isn't a fan of strong fragrance, even though my skin doesn't seem sensitive to the ingredients.
Cat ears engage! 😂😂😂
