I had to stop watching for just a second when you mentioned about a “friend” who said wouldn’t you like to be naturally beautiful. I can see that it still resonates with you. She was either jealous or just meant that we all need a little makeup to look a bit better. I think you are very beautiful and I know you weren’t “fishing” for compliments when you told that story. The lord truly shines in you and that beauty is evident both inside and out.
I had to stop the video there too and rewind to make sure I heard her right. Kristen, I am so sorry that you've carried that little thorn with you, I am sure your husband has tried endlessly to pluck it out for you....but it never really goes away. It's because of our fallen culture. I have always felt that exact way as you did growing up, I always longed to someday get that natural beauty just heavenly bestowed upon me. I was a late bloomer in so many ways and felt I had finally "made it" to the cool and pretty avenue by my early 20's. I've actually never felt more accepted for the way I look than once I had children.....it would make me cry with comfort that my newborn baby wasn't grossed out by my adult acne or my bad breath or my greasy hair. She just accepted me exactly as I was in every state and I like to think that's how Jesus loves us/sees us. I wish I could give you a hug 🫂! I'll be praying with you for continual grace and acceptance of ourselves, even as we age. 😊 ❤
Please don't listen to that. As you get older, you start to gain confidence because you know who you are. You grow older, get wrinkles, maybe gain a bit of weight but you are confident in who you are. You are beautiful ❤
Kristen, I can’t believe anyone wouldn’t think you are a natural beauty. Even more, I can’t believe anyone would make a comment like that. Trust me, you definitely have natural beauty. It wouldn’t matter if you didn’t because of your wonderful personality. I love your channel and always enjoy your videos.
IN DISBELIEF! I’ve thought you to be a naturally pretty, inside and out from the moment I found your channel. You are genuine and honest, you know who you are and you own it. You stay true to yourself. You find the goodness in the little things. That is beauty. You are so relatable and I adore your transparency. Wheww. I felt your words in my heart and soul. Thank you for the kind words of encouragement, genuinely thank you for letting us ladies know we’re not alone! We appreciate you for who you are but always pray that you feel good about yourself 🙏🏽🙏🏽🤍🤍
Gurlll you are a stunner, don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. The joy of the Lord, love for your family, and a vibrant light just radiate out of you. Keep shining 💛.
I’m simple. Clinique moisture surge for all moisturizing. Philosophy products, and Cera Ve cleanser. Clinique, and Laura Gellar cosmetics. I’m not much in primers, highlighters, etc. etc. lol. Just the basics. You’re such a beautiful person, on the outside and inside. The fact you have both is a blessing. So many are attractive on the outside, but their insides take all the attractiveness away. Your spirit shows through. ❤
That story about you not being naturally beautiful broke my heart. How could anyone be so cruel to tell someone that but especially to you. You are absolutely beautiful without makeup and with makeup. I thought you were so pretty when I first started watching you but after watching your videos your beauty really grows and grows with each video that I watch. It is the light and sincerity that shines within you. Thank you for sharing this video. ❤
Omg Kriten, I think we cal ALL relate to this! Thank you so much for being vulnerable and sharing your story. You are so beautiful inside and out! ❤️❤️❤️
You are beautiful with and without makeup! I can't believe someone asked YOU if you wish you were naturally pretty! WHAT! You're extremely naturally beautiful.
I think people get use to seeing us with makeup and if they see us without their first reaction is to ask if we are sick or if something is wrong , my dad has asked me that lol. You are beautiful without makeup and makeup just highlights your beauty. I was never good with makeup but certain UA-cam influencers have really helped me. If you find one that is around your age and skin type sometimes you can find good products and tips. I love your sweet nature and love for God. ❤
Kristen, your ARE naturally beautiful, both inside and out. Don’t let anyone tell you different. God’s light shines through you and no one can dim that!
This video makes me love you even more. When i first saw your thrifting videos i thought, wow so stunning but then after watching many videos you’re even more beautiful. Your heart shows through and your kindness shows in your face. Naturally pretty is a huge understatement
Kristen, I just love you! I have the same insecurities. Everything you said has been me all my life. I was never able to enjoy going to the beach or lake because I didn't want anyone to see me. Wish I had been more like you at your age. I've had hurtful things said to me too. I've been waiting for this video. Thank you. You're beautiful.
I am a new subscriber so I have been trying to catch up on your videos. I have looked at some of the other comments, and I think we all feel the same about your natural beauty- stunning! It is not your makeup or skin care routine or anything else that shows your beauty. It is your love of God and family, and your fun, sweet personality! I enjoy your videos because of the Joy that you share. "Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised. Prv 31💜🦋
I grew up with 4 sisters. We were all considered very pretty by outsiders. My mom was s teen in the late 1930's. Hollywood beauty was a big deal. She always commented on how we looked and felt it was sooo important. Every one of us do not go out without makeup. I feel pretty with makeup and plain without it. I can relate totally to your story. I think you are so pretty with or without makeup. ♥️
"What others think of me is none of my business" I live by this. There's no pleasing everyone, so don't let them affect you. This gets easier over time. I don't wear make-up or do any face treatment, never have. I wear liquid liner and every now and then red lipstick at church on Sunday or a special occasion, otherwise none at all. Your inner beauty highlights your external natural beauty🙏💙
I’m a fair blonde as well. Recently discovered tinted moisturizer vs tanning lotion. It is far better as you have no mess! Also any lotion will remove make up. Just make sure it says non comedogenic so doesn’t clog pores. That was advice from my dermatologist!!
Kristen- you are beautiful without makeup! This may not help you now, but trust me on this one- I’m in my 60s and I feel beautiful and really don’t give a damn what other people think. True beauty comes from confidence and being a kind and loving person.
I live a simple life. I'm a natural blonde. At 51, I've tried it all. Mom to an 18 y/o daughter. 'Some' people make the strangest remarks. In no way, do they define your beauty. We are each unque, and are perfectly imperfect I use a Makeup Remover cloth that can be re-used (and takes everything off). If I need a deeper cleanser, I use Philosophy's Purity Made Simple Cleanser (the 3 oz version goes a long way). I skip all of the active skincare/devices/gadgets/supplements and use lots of sunscreen daily. I use a BB cream very sparingly or a water-based foundation. I do dermaplane. Sunscreen is the best anti-aging cream out there!. Best beauty item?. Your smile!.
A couple of things, the way you put on your night serum could be introducing bacteria. I would never let the tip touch your skin, maybe put some in your hand and then put it on your face. Also to clear up the adult acne, use Zo complexion clearing pads, morning and night after cleansing. Vitamin C is essential during the day for anti aging and retinol is destroyed by sunlight so it’s basically worthless during the day, great as part of your nighttime routine.hyalauronic acid is always a good idea. Also, if you are prone to acne, you need to sterilizing everything after and before touching your face. That shaver should be wiped with alcohol after use and before use, especially if you cut yourself. For concealer, IT cosmetics bye bye Under Eye is great. Just do the inside corners as doing the whole under eye will emphasize wrinkles. Please stop using sunless tanner often if you are concerned with premature aging, it’s as bad as smoking, it will age you. There are some doctors on UA-cam that discuss this in detail. I agree with all the other ladies that you are gorgeous! I am pale too, embrace the beauty of it, or use bronzer if you must.
Kristen, I love what you stand for…loving Jesus, following His will for your life, family first, etc. You are a breath of fresh air and it is so nice to have someone I can sit down and watch with my entire family. Is there some way I can message you privately or vice versa? I make my own all-natural cleanser and moisturizer and I would love to make some for you to try if you’re interested. Just let me know! Keep the videos coming, girl. You’re a light in a dark world and I appreciate you! ♥️
Hey there! I left a message with a link to an Etsy shop where we could converse. Did you get it?? I don’t see it here now so I’m thinking it might not have posted. 🤔
You're a beauty with or without make-up. I'm sorry that someone, family at that, would say something so hurtful. Stay true to you, a beautiful woman inside and out! ❤
I loved this video! You were real and funny and encouraging 💕 I grew up listening to unkind remarks in school but by His grace learned how beautiful He made each one of us.💕 Now I’m drawn to girls or ladies who seem to feel abit uncomfortable about their looks or themselves and try to bring them encouragement of just how beautiful they are💕 I’m now 66 so beauty is deep . Lol. Loved the shaver . I get that. Loved how you do your eyes. Best I’ve ever seen. Thank you 🌸 Nancy
I watched dr oz on you tube talking about apple cider vinegar .I decided to try it as I had a patch of dark pigmentation on my face caused by the sun I dilated it in water and it took months but it worked and only cost me a few dollars 🤩
Kristen... i truly think you are very naturally beautiful. You said sooooo many things that I also feel and struggle with. I, too, have had people say things about my looks without make-up. Things like "Don't stop wearing your make-up." Yikes... it does hurt, but I've been working on my outlook on life, too! You are a true beauty and such a fun wife, mom and homemaker!
You are beautiful INSIDE and OUT! I have not tried retinol or dermaplaning for the same reasons you mentioned. Irritation and growing a beard! But because you are a christian woman , which tells me your honest,I’m going to try them both! Love the lipstick trick! I use eyeshadow on my eyebrows too! I thought I was the only one! Your make up looks so beautiful and natural!! I love your style and your home style as well! I enjoy watching all the great buys you find! Stay strong!🙏
Just watched this and can I tell you that you are sooo naturally pretty!! Thank you for sharing your routine, so honest and refreshing to watch. Sending you much love from England. Subscribed❤
I'm still crying from someone actually saying you are not naturally beautiful. OMG they might be your relative but they really don't know you. Kristen, you are sooooo beautiful not just outside but inside. This might sound morbid but I'm almost 70 so thinking more about what I have done with my life and what kind of legend I am leaving to my kids and grandkids after I die. Kristen, just know that you have 7,700 viewers that appreciate you for her you are and not what you look like. You're already a legend. Love you girl....
First of all YOU ARE NOT JUST "PRETTY", YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL!!! I'm like you, blonde, fair & i dye my eyebrows in order to look a little better without makeup. I use Just For Men beard & mustache dye & a box lasts me for months because you only use a tiny amount. Having darker brows without using makeup really makes me look more alive!
This is the first video when I can see you without makeup... and my first thought was- " wow! How beautiful she is!" You look different but so pretty 😍😍😍
When we are at Peace with Ourselves & with God, we take Joy in Our Beautiful Bodies, which are a True Miracle & a Gift from Above. With or Without Makeup. (I love wearing makeup. 💋) I Promise the older you get, the less you will care what others think. Love your channel and you my Dear. Blessings. 🙏
You’re absolutely gorgeous! Why are people so mean and I think it’s jealousy. Castor oil. I started using it a few weeks ago and it’s amazing! I put my moisturizer on over it after it’s absorbed before bed and it never fails to keep my skin moisturized. And it’s cheap. I buy melaleuca products as they’re American made and they have so many products that are for the entire house and they work amazing. I get good sleep which helps. I started doing Gua Sha with the castor oil and it really makes a difference in skin tone and elasticity. My face at 58 is so pale and I let my white hair grow out so now I look washed out but I only wear makeup if I leave the house 😅 I will say I was terrible with taking care of my skin as I’m a child of the 60’s and we didn’t have sunscreen back then. I have to shave my face at this age. It’s peach fuzz but it makes me crazy. Makeup looks better with smooth skin. I have to say that I used to color my hair since I was probably 16 because it went from being a towhead color to an auburn red. And then after I had my daughters it turned Ash blonde. Crazy how hormones can change the hair color. But now that I’ve let the Natural hair grow out and it’s been two years. I get so many compliments on my hair. And always from young women who say I wanna look like you and I want to not worry about having gray hair so I’m gonna not dye my hair. And it just floors me, but we are so worried about other peoples judgment of us that it kind of controls us. Anyway along, but I just love how humble and sweet you are and your love for Jesus. I’m a Jesus freak. Anyone coming into my house or meeting me anywhere knows that I love Jesus. I have never never met a stranger. Lol God bless and have a great day.🙌🏻🙏🏻❤️🌎
I was just watching one of your other videos before this one and thinking how naturally pretty you were! Great cheekbones, pretty eyes, and smile! But most importantly, you seem very sweet, and a great wife and mother❤ I love plain coconut oil that you can get from the grocery store to remove my makeup (and eye makeup) it has never irritated my eyes. I also like miceller water and La Roche posay body and face moisturizer. You can get a large bottle of it for around $17.00 and it literally has a lot of those same ingredients as those pricey "night creams," and it's incredibly moisturizing.
I am so very sorry that people have told you unkind things about your looks. Let me tell you, truthfully, honestly, that I was just telling my husband that the videos of you, with little or no makeup show the natural and classically beautiful person you are. I was saying that your makeup is lovely, but truthfully, you are more beautiful without it. I am sad to hear that you feel you need to hide behind the makeup. I am absolutely no expert on beauty products, as, I have only worn makeup a few times in my 51 years of life, and nobody has ever said a word. Now, maybe I should have been wearing it my whole life, but hey, for me, it is greasy, timely, expensive even when shopping at drugstores, and, if I looked like you naturally look, I would NEVER put any makeup on again. I was just telling my youngest that he should never let anyone make him feel lesser, and I am telling you the same. Shame on those who ever said anything about your looks. Do not believe them. You are stunning without all of that makeup, and, your personality shines brighter than your makeup, and THAT is what really counts! All of this, coming from a person who films herself, mostly chin down, as I am afraid of showing my whole face. There are some videos, as, I tried, but mostly I sing showing my neck down. Haha! Anyway, sorry for the rant, but, I get passionate about this topic of looks, especially when someone as lovely as you are shamed. You are beautiful without makeup. Believe it, because you are.
Thank you for your vulnerability. It shows a deeper beauty and courage than most show. I have to say I cannot wait to see your notifications pop up. You make my heart full. Thank you for being YOU!❤ PS you make me giggle. "Wooly Mammoth"
Honestly I cant give you product recommendations. I was with water and moisturiser with coconut oil. If I wear makup i use coconut oil to remove and rinse with water. Im 46. Told I look 30ish. Keep it natural. All its very well spending 100s on products....what heppens when you cant afford to buy these items. I used surgical spirits on spots as a teenager...no scars. I have very oilly skin.
You are absolutely gorgeous without and with make-up! Pretty please can we have a hair tutorial? I particularly love how put a curl/wave in your hair. Would love to know how to do that.
Dear Kristen, if you want to keep your youthfullness longer and your skin more ratiant, ditch those make up wipes 🙈 They do not clean your make up thoroughly. Plus, are full of drying chemicals. Instead remove your make up with natural jojoba, sunflower or almond oil (put some oil on your face, masage in and then wipe with damp towel. Then use a cream cleanser (CeraVe is very affordable and recommended by lots of dermatologists here on youtube). Double cleansing is a key for a cleaner and more youthfull skin ❤
That “friend” wasn’t. That’s the first point. And do you know that natural beauty comes from the soul. And you, my dear, are a natural beauty. You glow from within. It radiates in your eyes and in your smile. You can’t help it! And also, yes…self tanner!
Oh Kristen, don’t let someone’s words destroy you. You are so beautiful with and without makeup but most important, you are so spiritually beautiful. You rock beauty even without makeup. Your family and your home are beautiful as well. You are blessed!!
I’ve been meaning to add a comment. I definitely understand where you’re coming from. I had really bad acne for years and the worst during and after my pregnancy and I just was left with horrible skin. I’ve never felt comfortable going out in public without makeup and recently started to embrace it sometimes and I’m slowly starting to love it. For what it’s worth ever since I started watching your videos I’ve had a girl crush on you. You’re so beautiful!! ❤ That girl that didn’t say you’re naturally pretty is awful!
Ok first off forget the person who said that . Second your like one of those girls in school who were the prettiest person you ever see in real life. That's with or without make up. Third I'm about to find some money and order my first buy from Amazon..... That Lipstick 💄
You are still naturally beautiful! I enjoyed your make-up tutorial and I think you do a wonderful job on your make-up. It really looks good. I don't like to go anywhere without make-up on. I just don't feel confident or put together.
I love that you posted this video. You're beautiful inside and out and it's sad that a family member would say such a horrible thing to you. That was UGLY‼️ It's better to let your inner beauty shine/love of God shine.....better to be salt and light. Keep being you ❣️
RMS is natural but personally I didn’t like the mascara cause it ran. They have Physicians Formula at the drug store stats suppose to be somewhat natural.
You are so pretty and don't let anyone define you. That person is probably jealous anyway. I would love to have your youth, dimples and high cheekbones. You are also a sweet person. Keep being you!
I relate to so many of your insecurities and didn't realize you had any of the same struggles. Maybe your friend meant that it would be nice to not have to use all these products. It would be nice to think that God thinks were beautiful and it didnt matyer to him and then we have examples like Eve, Esther and Mary (etc.) who were praised for their beauty.
Thanks for sharing! I've heard it said the magic is in the motion, not the potion. You create a great look and take care of yourself without breaking the bank and I think that is very Proverbs 31!
O my dear, please dont let people tell you any different than your beautiful.... God made you just the way you are. And trust me the person saying that to you was jealous of your beauty inside and out. God bless you and your family 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Hi! I use caudalie vinoclean makeup remover Oil to remove waterproof makeup and mascara. Few drops and ir works like a charm. Afterwards I clean my face with a face soap. Hope ir works!
Love this! Thanks for sharing your heart! And for my daughters I so badly want to not focus on appearance and looks and to show her that I don’t need makeup to be beautiful, and neither does she. My mom, geandma(feel like the older generations sometimes put so much emphasis on beauty) so that’s been hard for me, but glad I get to do it different with my daughter💜
How do you not get the self tanner on your sheets? Maybe it’s just me, because I’m getting old and starting peri menopause, but I swear and it gets all over my white sheets!!
Amazing post! You are so naturally beautiful inside and out! Thank you for being so genuine and real to so many real women that watch you. It is so refreshing!
Wow, whoever made that "naturally pretty" comment to you must have been trying to get under your skin or something because you are quite obviously beautiful! I used to be a makeup junkie, but I've given up most of it. I no longer wear any foundation because if people care about my skin not being flawless, that's on them, not for me to worry about haha For my skincare, I use oil pulling to clean my skin (usually almond oil--coat my skin, then use a hot wet wash cloth to cover and steam my face 4 times). I used to use Devita skincare but recently tried Andalou Naturals and some The Ordinary once in awhile. For natural makeup, I use Alima Pure cream concealer, blush, and highlight, and Han powder bronzer (these are pricier than drugstore brands, but last forever because I only need a little bit). Loreal Lash Paradise or Honest Beauty mascara and Covergirl brow gel.
I can't stand that a girl as beautiful as you feels insecure about her looks. That makes me feel something is really wrong with the way women have been brainwashed in our society.
You are so beautiful! We as mother’s NEED to learn to love ourselves first of course after we love God! That way we know how to love our family ❤. You are so awesome!
You are so pretty, with and without makeup. Beauty is always in the eye of the beholder. I wear less, less makeup on the weekends so when people see me without or with less makeup they have become accustomed to it. I loved this video and generally all of your videos.
Kristen, your skin is radiant! Fair skin is beautiful! Your bone structure will carry you into aging with grace. Your gift to your daughters is how you are learning to love yourself just as god created you. Embracing your natural gifts will not only instill confidence in your girls it will lift you up. As a much older woman I look back at my past struggles trying to achieve what was considered fashionable beauty in the 70’s and shake my head. There is a generation of women left with pencil thin eyebrows from over plucking in our quest for fashionable beauty. 😩😂 Kristen you are beautiful and anyone who has made you feel otherwise has issues of their own. Have a lovely rest of your week. 🙂
@@KristenHoffman, my heart goes out to women who are chasing the current fad by Micro-bladed dark fat eyebrows onto their faces. My understanding is micro-blading is permeant. Some fool is going to eventually declare pencil thin eyebrows are the new standard of beauty… then what? I wish we could all see beauty in who we are and not in what someone else’s definition of beauty is.
I would like to send you a picture of me so I can get tips. Am not young, am 65 yrs old and just noticed facial hair and don't know what to do live talk would be awesome. Am Hispanic nature skin color . Idon't wear any kind of makeup. Don't know where to start start
Oh girl you are naturally beautiful!!!! I understand how you feel, I'm a redhead with blonde eyelashes and eyebrows...and people have said the said the same to me. One girl in school during my junior high years told me should would kill herself if she had been born a redhead. As I got older I realized that was her insecurities trying to make herself feel better. Please know that you are beautiful inside and out and I watch you because you add to my days. I love your family and all you stand for...keep up the great choices in your life. All my support and admiration 🌹
I'm also a redhead with blond lashes and brows (and hereditary dark circles). The one mean girl who teased me for my hair color as a child now dyes her blond hair red as a 50+ year old. Ha!
@@rachelhele7827 I have black hair and have been getting grays since I was about 20 years old. At 40, I dye my roots every 3 weeks, and I'm down to needing to dye them every two. 😭
Oh Kristen, you are so beautiful…. in Gods eyes you are perfect! At 56 I’ve given up caring what people think when I go out with no makeup. I’m over it.
kRISTEN...i TOTALLY DISAGREE WITH THE PERSON WHO SAID THAT TO YOU!! i THINK YOU ARE A BEAUTIFUL YOUNG LADY!! (Sorry my caps lock was on) God made you a child of his and to him you are beautiful and that is all we need to know. But I am one that puts make up on to go out. Guess I will never get out of that "rut". Thanks for sharing beautiful lady!!
Hi Kristen! I've been watching you for couple months now, love your videos! And you are truly natural beauty! ❤ your kids are proving it! Lovely and beautiful family 🤍🙏 God bless you guys!
As a natural strawberry-blonde, I have VERY blonde eyelashes and eyebrows! Would never leave the house without mascara. My mom even told me how much better I look with mascara, pretty much saying how horrible I look without it. It’s affected me my whole life. Had another friend tell me I need to “paint” my eyebrows. I literally have no natural beauty 🤦♀️ and feared beaches or pools. Would wear waterproof, but it never really stays on. So jealous of others that can wake up & run out without any makeup 😢
Have you tried removing your makeup with coconut oil? I remove my makeup with coconut oil and a Muslin cloth. Also, you’re gorgeous! With or without makeup.
When I was your age I did no skin care. I used to use Maybelline mascara remover and Neutrogena wipes to get my makeup off. Now I don’t wear makeup. I quit wearing it about three years ago. I used to wear it when I went out of the house. Since I moved I just don’t feel like messing with it. And I’m about to turn 64. I should probably wear makeup. But I am into skin care now. I wash my face with Neutrogena face wash. It doesn’t even hurt your eyes. And I started using Curology about five years ago. And I always wear sunscreen and moisturizer. I need it bad. I have extremely dry skin. I do own a NUFace Trinity device. It uses micro current too. I don’t use it like I should. And it was expensive. I bought mine on QVC and made payment for six months. I also own a Flawless rechargeable device to get the hair off my face. I use it around my eyebrows too. I just have to be careful. I used to pluck my eyebrows down to a thin line. So I use No. 7 lash serum on my brows. They are growing now. I need to do that to my eyebrows. I always say I have Andy Rooney, the guy from 60 minutes, eyebrows. So I understand. I never had acne. I had an occasional zit from hormones. I use drugstore makeup. I can’t afford to buy all,the expensive stuff. My husband remarks about everything I buy for my face already. If I spent a fortune on makeup I would have to listen to more. I think your makeup looks great. And you didn’t have to spend a fortune, like a lot of You Tuber’s. I can’t see spending a fortune for something you’re just going to wash off that same day. I spend my money on clothes, shoes and handbags. And also my grandkids.
Hi! Could you possibly link your necklace? I loved this video and it broke my heart that “friend” such a thing to you. I’ve always thought you were naturally lovely! Thank you!
Your hair doesn't look like a "natural blonde" !!??? It appears to be brunette with streaks of highlighted blonde ???? You kept saying "natural blonde" - I don't see it - clarify for me please
Kristen, when you use your blade, go up on the hair. Not down. You will get a better cut on the hair. Just think about the way you shave your legs. I have had this done for 30 years. My daughter is a skin care medical Esthetician. So I am glad you feel good about good skin care. Keep up the great work. Remember, Jesus wants you inner beauty to shine over your outer beauty. Thats all you need. Now, I will tell you what my momma said, "God gave you those looks and he can take them away any time He wants, so you better shine on the inside.!" Lol ,let me tell you it scared the be-jeebers out of me. ( everything she said scared me). Enjoy your show.!
1 Peter 3:3-4 Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes. Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight. I love this Bible verse. You are truly a beautiful gem: inside and out. I'm so thankful for you tubers like you who enjoy all things "home" but also point out to us how real joy is found in living for God and loving your family.
I had to stop watching for just a second when you mentioned about a “friend” who said wouldn’t you like to be naturally beautiful. I can see that it still resonates with you. She was either jealous or just meant that we all need a little makeup to look a bit better. I think you are very beautiful and I know you weren’t “fishing” for compliments when you told that story. The lord truly shines in you and that beauty is evident both inside and out.
I had to stop the video there too and rewind to make sure I heard her right. Kristen, I am so sorry that you've carried that little thorn with you, I am sure your husband has tried endlessly to pluck it out for you....but it never really goes away. It's because of our fallen culture. I have always felt that exact way as you did growing up, I always longed to someday get that natural beauty just heavenly bestowed upon me. I was a late bloomer in so many ways and felt I had finally "made it" to the cool and pretty avenue by my early 20's. I've actually never felt more accepted for the way I look than once I had children.....it would make me cry with comfort that my newborn baby wasn't grossed out by my adult acne or my bad breath or my greasy hair. She just accepted me exactly as I was in every state and I like to think that's how Jesus loves us/sees us. I wish I could give you a hug 🫂! I'll be praying with you for continual grace and acceptance of ourselves, even as we age. 😊 ❤
Amen 🙏
You are a beautiful person inside and out. God made you just like he wanted you to be, never doubt that. He loves you just the way you are.
Please don't listen to that. As you get older, you start to gain confidence because you know who you are. You grow older, get wrinkles, maybe gain a bit of weight but you are confident in who you are. You are beautiful ❤
Kristen, you are beautiful inside and out, with and without makeup! ❤❤
Kristen, I can’t believe anyone wouldn’t think you are a natural beauty. Even more, I can’t believe anyone would make a comment like that. Trust me, you definitely have natural beauty. It wouldn’t matter if you didn’t because of your wonderful personality. I love your channel and always enjoy your videos.
Thank you, Pam!
Oh my goodness Kristen you are a natural beauty! Not only on the outside (with or without makeup) but your heart shines full with Jesus love!!!!!❤❤❤
Thank you so much, Cindy!
IN DISBELIEF! I’ve thought you to be a naturally pretty, inside and out from the moment I found your channel. You are genuine and honest, you know who you are and you own it. You stay true to yourself. You find the goodness in the little things. That is beauty.
You are so relatable and I adore your transparency. Wheww. I felt your words in my heart and soul. Thank you for the kind words of encouragement, genuinely thank you for letting us ladies know we’re not alone! We appreciate you for who you are but always pray that you feel good about yourself 🙏🏽🙏🏽🤍🤍
Thank you so much!
Gurlll you are a stunner, don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. The joy of the Lord, love for your family, and a vibrant light just radiate out of you. Keep shining 💛.
Thank you so much, Chanel!
I’m simple. Clinique moisture surge for all moisturizing. Philosophy products, and Cera Ve cleanser. Clinique, and Laura Gellar cosmetics. I’m not much in primers, highlighters, etc. etc. lol. Just the basics.
You’re such a beautiful person, on the outside and inside. The fact you have both is a blessing. So many are attractive on the outside, but their insides take all the attractiveness away.
Your spirit shows through. ❤
Thank you so much!
Girl, who ever told you that you weren’t naturally pretty is just jealous or blind. You are gorgeous, with or without makeup ❤
That story about you not being naturally beautiful broke my heart. How could anyone be so cruel to tell someone that but especially to you. You are absolutely beautiful without makeup and with makeup. I thought you were so pretty when I first started watching you but after watching your videos your beauty really grows and grows with each video that I watch. It is the light and sincerity that shines within you. Thank you for sharing this video. ❤
Thank you. I think what made it hard is that they said it in front of a group of people.
Omg Kriten, I think we cal ALL relate to this! Thank you so much for being vulnerable and sharing your story. You are so beautiful inside and out! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you!
You are beautiful with and without makeup! I can't believe someone asked YOU if you wish you were naturally pretty! WHAT! You're extremely naturally beautiful.
Thank you, Danielle!
I think people get use to seeing us with makeup and if they see us without their first reaction is to ask if we are sick or if something is wrong , my dad has asked me that lol. You are beautiful without makeup and makeup just highlights your beauty. I was never good with makeup but certain UA-cam influencers have really helped me. If you find one that is around your age and skin type sometimes you can find good products and tips. I love your sweet nature and love for God. ❤
Kristen, your ARE naturally beautiful, both inside and out. Don’t let anyone tell you different. God’s light shines through you and no one can dim that!
Thank you so much, Kristine!
This video makes me love you even more. When i first saw your thrifting videos i thought, wow so stunning but then after watching many videos you’re even more beautiful. Your heart shows through and your kindness shows in your face. Naturally pretty is a huge understatement
Aww, thank you Kelly!
Kristen, I just love you! I have the same insecurities. Everything you said has been me all my life. I was never able to enjoy going to the beach or lake because I didn't want anyone to see me. Wish I had been more like you at your age. I've had hurtful things said to me too. I've been waiting for this video. Thank you. You're beautiful.
Thank you so much, Diane!
Stunning with or without makeup!!! Yes,we do want to see a hair routine video as well!
Thank you!
I am a new subscriber so I have been trying to catch up on your videos. I have looked at some of the other comments, and I think we all feel the same about your natural beauty- stunning! It is not your makeup or skin care routine or anything else that shows your beauty. It is your love of God and family, and your fun, sweet personality! I enjoy your videos because of the Joy that you share.
"Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised. Prv 31💜🦋
I grew up with 4 sisters. We were all considered very pretty by outsiders. My mom was s teen in the late 1930's. Hollywood beauty was a big deal. She always commented on how we looked and felt it was sooo important. Every one of us do not go out without makeup. I feel pretty with makeup and plain without it.
I can relate totally to your story. I think you are so pretty with or without makeup. ♥️
Thank you for sharing, Kat!
"What others think of me is none of my business" I live by this. There's no pleasing everyone, so don't let them affect you. This gets easier over time. I don't wear make-up or do any face treatment, never have. I wear liquid liner and every now and then red lipstick at church on Sunday or a special occasion, otherwise none at all. Your inner beauty highlights your external natural beauty🙏💙
That's a good motto!
@@KristenHoffman Thank you.💙🙏
I’m a fair blonde as well. Recently discovered tinted moisturizer vs tanning lotion. It is far better as you have no mess! Also any lotion will remove make up. Just make sure it says non comedogenic so doesn’t clog pores. That was advice from my dermatologist!!
Thank you for this advice, Mary!
Kristen- you are beautiful without makeup! This may not help you now, but trust me on this one- I’m in my 60s and I feel beautiful and really don’t give a damn what other people think. True beauty comes from confidence and being a kind and loving person.
Thank you so much, Elena
Comments like that person made stem from that person’s insecurities. You are beautiful inside and out. Prob 31. ❤
I live a simple life. I'm a natural blonde. At 51, I've tried it all. Mom to an 18 y/o daughter. 'Some' people make the strangest remarks. In no way, do they define your beauty. We are each unque, and are perfectly imperfect I use a Makeup Remover cloth that can be re-used (and takes everything off). If I need a deeper cleanser, I use Philosophy's Purity Made Simple Cleanser (the 3 oz version goes a long way). I skip all of the active skincare/devices/gadgets/supplements and use lots of sunscreen daily. I use a BB cream very sparingly or a water-based foundation. I do dermaplane. Sunscreen is the best anti-aging cream out there!. Best beauty item?. Your smile!.
A couple of things, the way you put on your night serum could be introducing bacteria. I would never let the tip touch your skin, maybe put some in your hand and then put it on your face. Also to clear up the adult acne, use Zo complexion clearing pads, morning and night after cleansing. Vitamin C is essential during the day for anti aging and retinol is destroyed by sunlight so it’s basically worthless during the day, great as part of your nighttime routine.hyalauronic acid is always a good idea. Also, if you are prone to acne, you need to sterilizing everything after and before touching your face. That shaver should be wiped with alcohol after use and before use, especially if you cut yourself. For concealer, IT cosmetics bye bye Under Eye is great. Just do the inside corners as doing the whole under eye will emphasize wrinkles. Please stop using sunless tanner often if you are concerned with premature aging, it’s as bad as smoking, it will age you. There are some doctors on UA-cam that discuss this in detail. I agree with all the other ladies that you are gorgeous! I am pale too, embrace the beauty of it, or use bronzer if you must.
Kristen, you are a beautiful person, inside and out! You are definitely a natural beauty. Love your tips on keeping our skin looking good.
Thank you, Nina!
I get told I’m beautiful, but I want people to see my inner beauty! It really is an embarrassment to me instead of a compliment! I don’t know why?
Kristen, I love what you stand for…loving Jesus, following His will for your life, family first, etc. You are a breath of fresh air and it is so nice to have someone I can sit down and watch with my entire family. Is there some way I can message you privately or vice versa? I make my own all-natural cleanser and moisturizer and I would love to make some for you to try if you’re interested. Just let me know! Keep the videos coming, girl. You’re a light in a dark world and I appreciate you! ♥️
Wow! I would love that. UA-cam is not great about notifying me, but you can message me on my Instagram!
Hey there! I left a message with a link to an Etsy shop where we could converse. Did you get it?? I don’t see it here now so I’m thinking it might not have posted. 🤔
I used to use wipes to clean make up off but for years I have used coconut oil. It is cheaper and leaves your skin soft 😀
You're a beauty with or without make-up. I'm sorry that someone, family at that, would say something so hurtful. Stay true to you, a beautiful woman inside and out! ❤
Thank you so much!
I loved this video! You were real and funny and encouraging 💕 I grew up listening to unkind remarks in school but by His grace learned how beautiful He made each one of us.💕 Now I’m drawn to girls or ladies who seem to feel abit uncomfortable about their looks or themselves and try to bring them encouragement of just how beautiful they are💕 I’m now 66 so beauty is deep . Lol. Loved the shaver . I get that. Loved how you do your eyes. Best I’ve ever seen. Thank you 🌸 Nancy
God bless you, Nancy!
I watched dr oz on you tube talking about apple cider vinegar .I decided to try it as I had a patch of dark pigmentation on my face caused by the sun I dilated it in water and it took months but it worked and only cost me a few dollars 🤩
Can you show how you trim and shape your nails?
The person who made that comment is not a real friend.
Kristen... i truly think you are very naturally beautiful. You said sooooo many things that I also feel and struggle with. I, too, have had people say things about my looks without make-up. Things like "Don't stop wearing your make-up." Yikes... it does hurt, but I've been working on my outlook on life, too! You are a true beauty and such a fun wife, mom and homemaker!
Thank you so much, Colleen!
Your relative did you dirty. You’re beautiful, with or without makeup. Thanks for sharing your tips! ❤
Thank you so much, Heather!
You are beautiful INSIDE and OUT! I have not tried retinol or dermaplaning for the same reasons you mentioned. Irritation and growing a beard! But because you are a christian woman , which tells me your honest,I’m going to try them both! Love the lipstick trick! I use eyeshadow on my eyebrows too! I thought I was the only one! Your make up looks so beautiful and natural!! I love your style and your home style as well! I enjoy watching all the great buys you find! Stay strong!🙏
Just watched this and can I tell you that you are sooo naturally pretty!! Thank you for sharing your routine, so honest and refreshing to watch. Sending you much love from England. Subscribed❤
I'm still crying from someone actually saying you are not naturally beautiful. OMG they might be your relative but they really don't know you. Kristen, you are sooooo beautiful not just outside but inside. This might sound morbid but I'm almost 70 so thinking more about what I have done with my life and what kind of legend I am leaving to my kids and grandkids after I die. Kristen, just know that you have 7,700 viewers that appreciate you for her you are and not what you look like. You're already a legend. Love you girl....
Wow, what an encouraging message! Thank you so much, Terri!
Thank you. The word I need to insert for legend is LEGACY. Sorry lol
First of all YOU ARE NOT JUST "PRETTY", YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL!!! I'm like you, blonde, fair & i dye my eyebrows in order to look a little better without makeup. I use Just For Men beard & mustache dye & a box lasts me for months because you only use a tiny amount. Having darker brows without using makeup really makes me look more alive!
This is the first video when I can see you without makeup... and my first thought was- " wow! How beautiful she is!" You look different but so pretty 😍😍😍
Pero eres HERMOSAAAAA, I really love your videos and You are sooooooo beautiful, and perfect like You are ☺️💐💐😘
When we are at Peace with Ourselves & with God, we take Joy in Our Beautiful Bodies, which are a True Miracle & a Gift from Above. With or Without Makeup. (I love wearing makeup. 💋) I Promise the older you get, the less you will care what others think. Love your channel and you my Dear. Blessings. 🙏
You’re absolutely gorgeous! Why are people so mean and I think it’s jealousy. Castor oil. I started using it a few weeks ago and it’s amazing! I put my moisturizer on over it after it’s absorbed before bed and it never fails to keep my skin moisturized. And it’s cheap. I buy melaleuca products as they’re American made and they have so many products that are for the entire house and they work amazing. I get good sleep which helps. I started doing Gua Sha with the castor oil and it really makes a difference in skin tone and elasticity. My face at 58 is so pale and I let my white hair grow out so now I look washed out but I only wear makeup if I leave the house 😅 I will say I was terrible with taking care of my skin as I’m a child of the 60’s and we didn’t have sunscreen back then. I have to shave my face at this age. It’s peach fuzz but it makes me crazy. Makeup looks better with smooth skin. I have to say that I used to color my hair since I was probably 16 because it went from being a towhead color to an auburn red. And then after I had my daughters it turned Ash blonde. Crazy how hormones can change the hair color. But now that I’ve let the Natural hair grow out and it’s been two years. I get so many compliments on my hair. And always from young women who say I wanna look like you and I want to not worry about having gray hair so I’m gonna not dye my hair. And it just floors me, but we are so worried about other peoples judgment of us that it kind of controls us. Anyway along, but I just love how humble and sweet you are and your love for Jesus. I’m a Jesus freak. Anyone coming into my house or meeting me anywhere knows that I love Jesus. I have never never met a stranger. Lol God bless and have a great day.🙌🏻🙏🏻❤️🌎
That person liedmto you. You are strickenly beautifu)! 😊😊😊😊
I was just watching one of your other videos before this one and thinking how naturally pretty you were! Great cheekbones, pretty eyes, and smile! But most importantly, you seem very sweet, and a great wife and mother❤
I love plain coconut oil that you can get from the grocery store to remove my makeup (and eye makeup) it has never irritated my eyes. I also like miceller water and La Roche posay body and face moisturizer. You can get a large bottle of it for around $17.00 and it literally has a lot of those same ingredients as those pricey "night creams," and it's incredibly moisturizing.
I am so very sorry that people have told you unkind things about your looks. Let me tell you, truthfully, honestly, that I was just telling my husband that the videos of you, with little or no makeup show the natural and classically beautiful person you are. I was saying that your makeup is lovely, but truthfully, you are more beautiful without it. I am sad to hear that you feel you need to hide behind the makeup. I am absolutely no expert on beauty products, as, I have only worn makeup a few times in my 51 years of life, and nobody has ever said a word. Now, maybe I should have been wearing it my whole life, but hey, for me, it is greasy, timely, expensive even when shopping at drugstores, and, if I looked like you naturally look, I would NEVER put any makeup on again. I was just telling my youngest that he should never let anyone make him feel lesser, and I am telling you the same. Shame on those who ever said anything about your looks. Do not believe them. You are stunning without all of that makeup, and, your personality shines brighter than your makeup, and THAT is what really counts! All of this, coming from a person who films herself, mostly chin down, as I am afraid of showing my whole face. There are some videos, as, I tried, but mostly I sing showing my neck down. Haha! Anyway, sorry for the rant, but, I get passionate about this topic of looks, especially when someone as lovely as you are shamed. You are beautiful without makeup. Believe it, because you are.
Thank you for your vulnerability.
It shows a deeper beauty and courage than most show.
I have to say I cannot wait to see your notifications pop up. You make my heart full.
Thank you for being YOU!❤
PS you make me giggle. "Wooly Mammoth"
This is so kind! Thank you!
You are truly beautiful! Just in who you are! This is my first time coming to your channel! I am now subscribed!!!!!!!🫶🏽🥺
Honestly I cant give you product recommendations. I was with water and moisturiser with coconut oil. If I wear makup i use coconut oil to remove and rinse with water. Im 46. Told I look 30ish. Keep it natural. All its very well spending 100s on products....what heppens when you cant afford to buy these items. I used surgical spirits on spots as a teenager...no scars. I have very oilly skin.
Spell the Maybelline brown lipstick please. Hon Graze is what I heard? Which specific lipstick plz.?
You are absolutely gorgeous without and with make-up!
Pretty please can we have a hair tutorial? I particularly love how put a curl/wave in your hair. Would love to know how to do that.
I have collagen everyday, and I'm 40 with no wrinkles! I'm a huge believer in collagen. I put it in my tea every morning.
I love it in my coffee! I can't detect it at all!
Dear Kristen, if you want to keep your youthfullness longer and your skin more ratiant, ditch those make up wipes 🙈 They do not clean your make up thoroughly. Plus, are full of drying chemicals. Instead remove your make up with natural jojoba, sunflower or almond oil (put some oil on your face, masage in and then wipe with damp towel. Then use a cream cleanser (CeraVe is very affordable and recommended by lots of dermatologists here on youtube). Double cleansing is a key for a cleaner and more youthfull skin ❤
Your are gorgeous, with or without makeup...body and soul. Those other people...that is satan talking.
That “friend” wasn’t. That’s the first point. And do you know that natural beauty comes from the soul. And you, my dear, are a natural beauty. You glow from within. It radiates in your eyes and in your smile. You can’t help it!
And also, yes…self tanner!
Oh Kristen, don’t let someone’s words destroy you. You are so beautiful with and without makeup but most important, you are so spiritually beautiful. You rock beauty even without makeup. Your family and your home are beautiful as well. You are blessed!!
Thank you so much, Gloria!
I’ve been meaning to add a comment. I definitely understand where you’re coming from. I had really bad acne for years and the worst during and after my pregnancy and I just was left with horrible skin. I’ve never felt comfortable going out in public without makeup and recently started to embrace it sometimes and I’m slowly starting to love it.
For what it’s worth ever since I started watching your videos I’ve had a girl crush on you. You’re so beautiful!! ❤
That girl that didn’t say you’re naturally pretty is awful!
Ok first off forget the person who said that . Second your like one of those girls in school who were the prettiest person you ever see in real life. That's with or without make up. Third I'm about to find some money and order my first buy from Amazon..... That Lipstick 💄
You are still naturally beautiful! I enjoyed your make-up tutorial and I think you do a wonderful job on your make-up. It really looks good. I don't like to go anywhere without make-up on. I just don't feel confident or put together.
This was a nice change of pace! Love that you let us in and shared your routine. You look beautiful before & after.
Yes to a hair tutorial as well!❤❤❤
Thank you so much, Jodie!
I love that you posted this video. You're beautiful inside and out and it's sad that a family member would say such a horrible thing to you. That was UGLY‼️ It's better to let your inner beauty shine/love of God shine.....better to be salt and light. Keep being you ❣️
RMS is natural but personally I didn’t like the mascara cause it ran. They have Physicians Formula at the drug store stats suppose to be somewhat natural.
You are so pretty and don't let anyone define you. That person is probably jealous anyway. I would love to have your youth, dimples and high cheekbones. You are also a sweet person. Keep being you!
To me you're beautiful with or without makeup, you're beautiful inside and out. 💞
Thank you, Sheila!
I relate to so many of your insecurities and didn't realize you had any of the same struggles. Maybe your friend meant that it would be nice to not have to use all these products. It would be nice to think that God thinks were beautiful and it didnt matyer to him and then we have examples like Eve, Esther and Mary (etc.) who were praised for their beauty.
Thanks for sharing! I've heard it said the magic is in the motion, not the potion. You create a great look and take care of yourself without breaking the bank and I think that is very Proverbs 31!
O my dear, please dont let people tell you any different than your beautiful.... God made you just the way you are. And trust me the person saying that to you was jealous of your beauty inside and out. God bless you and your family 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Hi! I use caudalie vinoclean makeup remover Oil to remove waterproof makeup and mascara. Few drops and ir works like a charm. Afterwards I clean my face with a face soap. Hope ir works!
Love this! Thanks for sharing your heart!
And for my daughters I so badly want to not focus on appearance and looks and to show her that I don’t need makeup to be beautiful, and neither does she. My mom, geandma(feel like the older generations sometimes put so much emphasis on beauty) so that’s been hard for me, but glad I get to do it different with my daughter💜
Girl you are insanely beautiful without makeup! Thanks for showing us your routine!
How do you not get the self tanner on your sheets? Maybe it’s just me, because I’m getting old and starting peri menopause, but I swear and it gets all over my white sheets!!
Organic coconut oil is great for removing makeup. Don't let anyone tell you your not beautiful both inside and out.🌞
You are beautiful Kristen! Apart from any makeup or anything! You are beautiful in and out
Amazing post! You are so naturally beautiful inside and out! Thank you for being so genuine and real to so many real women that watch you. It is so refreshing!
Wow, whoever made that "naturally pretty" comment to you must have been trying to get under your skin or something because you are quite obviously beautiful!
I used to be a makeup junkie, but I've given up most of it. I no longer wear any foundation because if people care about my skin not being flawless, that's on them, not for me to worry about haha
For my skincare, I use oil pulling to clean my skin (usually almond oil--coat my skin, then use a hot wet wash cloth to cover and steam my face 4 times). I used to use Devita skincare but recently tried Andalou Naturals and some The Ordinary once in awhile.
For natural makeup, I use Alima Pure cream concealer, blush, and highlight, and Han powder bronzer (these are pricier than drugstore brands, but last forever because I only need a little bit). Loreal Lash Paradise or Honest Beauty mascara and Covergirl brow gel.
Thank you for the suggestions, Sara!
I can't stand that a girl as beautiful as you feels insecure about her looks. That makes me feel something is really wrong with the way women have been brainwashed in our society.
You are so beautiful! We as mother’s NEED to learn to love ourselves first of course after we love God! That way we know how to love our family ❤. You are so awesome!
So relatable!!! And micellar water is great for taking off makeup ❤
You are so pretty, with and without makeup. Beauty is always in the eye of the beholder. I wear less, less makeup on the weekends so when people see me without or with less makeup they have become accustomed to it. I loved this video and generally all of your videos.
Kristen, your skin is radiant! Fair skin is beautiful! Your bone structure will carry you into aging with grace. Your gift to your daughters is how you are learning to love yourself just as god created you. Embracing your natural gifts will not only instill confidence in your girls it will lift you up. As a much older woman I look back at my past struggles trying to achieve what was considered fashionable beauty in the 70’s and shake my head. There is a generation of women left with pencil thin eyebrows from over plucking in our quest for fashionable beauty. 😩😂 Kristen you are beautiful and anyone who has made you feel otherwise has issues of their own. Have a lovely rest of your week. 🙂
Thank you so much!! Isn't it funny how trends change?
@@KristenHoffman, my heart goes out to women who are chasing the current fad by Micro-bladed dark fat eyebrows onto their faces. My understanding is micro-blading is permeant. Some fool is going to eventually declare pencil thin eyebrows are the new standard of beauty… then what? I wish we could all see beauty in who we are and not in what someone else’s definition of beauty is.
My goodness, you look like a teenager without makeup. Make no mistake you are a beautiful girl inside and out.
I would like to send you a picture of me so I can get tips. Am not young, am 65 yrs old and just noticed facial hair and don't know what to do live talk would be awesome. Am Hispanic nature skin color . Idon't wear any kind of makeup. Don't know where to start start
Absolutely beautiful can you please give the number on the lipsticks they are too hard to see thankyou
Oh girl you are naturally beautiful!!!!
I understand how you feel, I'm a redhead with blonde eyelashes and eyebrows...and people have said the said the same to me. One girl in school during my junior high years told me should would kill herself if she had been born a redhead.
As I got older I realized that was her insecurities trying to make herself feel better.
Please know that you are beautiful inside and out and I watch you because you add to my days. I love your family and all you stand for...keep up the great choices in your life.
All my support and admiration 🌹
What an awful thing to say! I actually prayed that Rosie would have red hair!
I love red hair,but I’m black going on grey need to dye my hair again
I'm also a redhead with blond lashes and brows (and hereditary dark circles). The one mean girl who teased me for my hair color as a child now dyes her blond hair red as a 50+ year old. Ha!
@@rachelhele7827 I have black hair and have been getting grays since I was about 20 years old. At 40, I dye my roots every 3 weeks, and I'm down to needing to dye them every two. 😭
Very informative video. You always look pretty with or without makeup. Too late for me, I'm already saggy & old but I don't care. haha
Haha!
Oh Kristen, you are so beautiful…. in Gods eyes you are perfect! At 56 I’ve given up caring what people think when I go out with no makeup. I’m over it.
Good for you, Sandy!
kRISTEN...i TOTALLY DISAGREE WITH THE PERSON WHO SAID THAT TO YOU!! i THINK YOU ARE A BEAUTIFUL YOUNG LADY!! (Sorry my caps lock was on) God made you a child of his and to him you are beautiful and that is all we need to know. But I am one that puts make up on to go out. Guess I will never get out of that "rut". Thanks for sharing beautiful lady!!
Thank you so much, Debbie!
I use a foaming cleanser, I feel like wipes just never get in all the spaces and I never feel fully clean. Also, that way there is no waste.
Hi Kristen! I've been watching you for couple months now, love your videos! And you are truly natural beauty! ❤ your kids are proving it! Lovely and beautiful family 🤍🙏 God bless you guys!
Thank you so much!
As a natural strawberry-blonde, I have VERY blonde eyelashes and eyebrows! Would never leave the house without mascara. My mom even told me how much better I look with mascara, pretty much saying how horrible I look without it. It’s affected me my whole life. Had another friend tell me I need to “paint” my eyebrows. I literally have no natural beauty 🤦♀️ and feared beaches or pools. Would wear waterproof, but it never really stays on. So jealous of others that can wake up & run out without any makeup 😢
I have always felt the same!
So surprised someone would say that to you. You are the definition of a natural beauty!
Whoever said you weren't a natural beauty needs their eyes checked! 😂 you are seriously stunning ❤
Castor oil is the best makeup remover and cleanser! Make sure you buy it in a glass bottle only.
Have you tried removing your makeup with coconut oil? I remove my makeup with coconut oil and a Muslin cloth. Also, you’re gorgeous! With or without makeup.
I have! It clouds my vision pretty badly.
When I was your age I did no skin care. I used to use Maybelline mascara remover and Neutrogena wipes to get my makeup off. Now I don’t wear makeup. I quit wearing it about three years ago. I used to wear it when I went out of the house. Since I moved I just don’t feel like messing with it. And I’m about to turn 64. I should probably wear makeup. But I am into skin care now. I wash my face with Neutrogena face wash. It doesn’t even hurt your eyes. And I started using Curology about five years ago. And I always wear sunscreen and moisturizer. I need it bad. I have extremely dry skin. I do own a NUFace Trinity device. It uses micro current too. I don’t use it like I should. And it was expensive. I bought mine on QVC and made payment for six months. I also own a Flawless rechargeable device to get the hair off my face. I use it around my eyebrows too. I just have to be careful. I used to pluck my eyebrows down to a thin line. So I use No. 7 lash serum on my brows. They are growing now. I need to do that to my eyebrows. I always say I have Andy Rooney, the guy from 60 minutes, eyebrows. So I understand. I never had acne. I had an occasional zit from hormones. I use drugstore makeup. I can’t afford to buy all,the expensive stuff. My husband remarks about everything I buy for my face already. If I spent a fortune on makeup I would have to listen to more. I think your makeup looks great. And you didn’t have to spend a fortune, like a lot of You Tuber’s. I can’t see spending a fortune for something you’re just going to wash off that same day. I spend my money on clothes, shoes and handbags. And also my grandkids.
Thank you for sharing, Pamela!
Hi! Could you possibly link your necklace? I loved this video and it broke my heart that “friend” such a thing to you. I’ve always thought you were naturally lovely! Thank you!
It was actually my husband's grandmother's.
YOU ARE BEYOND BEAUTIFUL! You are stunning even with no makeup! AND with your personality you shine 10 fold!! ❤
Wow, thank you!
Wow what a shallow comment.... you are soooo naturally pretty!! Society just wants us to look like we permanently have makeup on 24/7.
Thank you so much!!
I have a friend who is founder of the “Jill” razor. You should get with her !
Your hair doesn't look like a "natural blonde" !!??? It appears to be brunette with streaks of highlighted blonde ???? You kept saying "natural blonde" - I don't see it - clarify for me please
Nope. I highlight it to make it more blonde, but my natural color is also a darker, mousy blonde.
Kristen, when you use your blade, go up on the hair. Not down. You will get a better cut on the hair. Just think about the way you shave your legs.
I have had this done for 30 years. My daughter is a skin care medical Esthetician. So I am glad you feel good about good skin care. Keep up the great work.
Remember, Jesus wants you inner beauty to shine over your outer beauty. Thats all you need.
Now, I will tell you what my momma said, "God gave you those looks and he can take them away any time He wants, so you better shine on the inside.!" Lol ,let me tell you it scared the be-jeebers out of me. ( everything she said scared me).
Enjoy your show.!
I think that you are supposed to go down on your face to keep it from breaking out.
1 Peter 3:3-4
Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes. Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight. I love this Bible verse. You are truly a beautiful gem: inside and out. I'm so thankful for you tubers like you who enjoy all things "home" but also point out to us how real joy is found in living for God and loving your family.
This is so good!
