Trust me, I thought the SAME thing. But it's completely undiluted- no alcohol, no water, no fillers. Pure scent. I would see if they sell it in a spa near you and you can smell it and see if you think it's worth it! I LOVE my Ambre Narguile, glad you love it as well!!!
I really appreciate how you don't force yourself to make a monthly favorites video. I love monthly videos but when you do your favorites, I feel like I really learn about NEW products or techniques.
I use the Embryolisse Creme Riche and the Emulsion Hydra-Matt in my kit and love them. They are such a good base for the makeup application. Expensive, but so worth the price! I love that you use/talk about products that no one else is really talking about on youtube.
I love that you have the patience to put on all sorts of foundation. Sometimes I get exhausted just doing my eyes that I sometimes say 'screw it!' to the rest of my face. I think it says a lot about how much you take care of your skin in addition to the passion you must have for cosmetics. I think you're very underrated, but it strangely makes you more of a jewel in my eyes :) I have genuinely the largest girl crush on you. You're like a big sister! Thank you for being on youtube! :D
Yes! I learned about shaving your face from you and did see the Dr. Derm video!! It's amazing the difference in your skins 'feel' and texture!! Makeup goes on so smoothly, skin is so soft, glowing. Great tip!
Also, after your video on 'shaving your face' I went out and bought those small razor things and tried it. You were right. Make-up application afterwards is incredible! I couldn't believe the difference it made and the crap that came off my face when I was doing it. I have an intense washing routine, so I was really surprised. So, thanks for that tip. The validation from Dr. Schultz is also really cool.
Per your recommendation, I ordered a sample set from Ambre Essence. I ordered the Ambre Essence scent to start with, then followed up with the Solace and now have Invoke on the way. I find these scents to be amazing. I own many many fragrances, but NEVER have I received more compliments on a consistent basis than I have received with these fragrances. The odd thing is that I barely smell it on my skin (which I am somewhat sad about), but people can obviously smell it on me. Thanks for the rec.!
The Urban Decay setting sprays (Dew Me, All Nighter, etc.) are all made by Skindinavia, so if you are having problems finding the Skindinavia products, you might try those. I have had great success with the UD products. I originally purchased Dew Me. For my last purchase, the All Nighter was available at a special price. I compared the ingredient list b/w the two, and the only difference was two ingredients switched order on the list.
Thank you so much for showing the beauty blender with some of it removed, as the one thing that has put me off buying it is the idea that it would waste the make-up.
I always get the Skindinavia spray on sale. I've purchased the UD All Nighter XL (also Skindinavia) for $18, as opposed to $34 reg. price. A few days ago, I ordered the XL size from Haute Look for $18. I now have 2 bottles of XL and one 4 oz. bottle for $10, I ordered from the DermStore. As you can see, I don't want to live without it either.
Love love love this video, thank so much. I just love your down to earth, no BS approach to things. I get excited like a kid when I see you have posted a new video, I actually feel silly cause I get excited....I think I need a life:)
The Urban Decay setting sprays are also by Skindinavia. I use the All Nighter one and love it. The Beauty Blender is awesome. I used mine the other day when I accidentally went crazy with foundation and it picked up the excess for a pretty flawless finish. I didn't have to wash my face and start over, which was nice. And also, I shave my face now. It sounded crazy, but I'm sold. My makeup goes on so much smoother now! Thanks. :)
Nur, finally I hear a negative on the Revlon Whipped Foundation!!! I was really beginning to think it was only me! It made me gray as well! Love your videos...thank u ;)
I use Urban Decay D-slick spray and I have mixed feelings about it. I have like the oiliest t-zone in the world and I live in Texas. I feel like it works when it wants to. I'm going to have to try the original Skindinavia spray or All Nighter. Thanks for the suggestion.
I use the finishing spray by MAC (or is it a setting spray...? not sure) and I find that it does exactly what you said about the Skindinvia spray. I spray once or twice after I'm done applying my face and it makes my make-up last the entire day - morning until night and sometimes until the next morning, lol. I find that it also makes my foundation (and entire face) look like the airbrush/fancy and hella expensive foundation sprays.
Actually, there is a sponge at Walgreens from SoHo that is the exact shape and color of the BB!! The only very slight difference is a small ring around the middle of the Soho one and it is a bit denser. However, I don't feel that it is enough of a difference to justify the price difference. I think the soho one is only 7bucks, and with coupons, even less. Def worth a looksy.
Embryolisse was not good as a makeup remover for me. I had to use it as a makeup remover in a crunch, and I won't do it again! Love it as a moisturizer, best one that I have found for my skin thus far.
I shave my face and people always tell me its going to get thicker. However Ive been doing it for years and so far so good. Don't get me wrong sometimes I do think what if they are right.lol....Well I'm off to watch the Dr. Thank you for the video Nur.
HAHA!! Pester enough and I will cave ;) But seriously, currently working on completely setting up my space for makeup and videos. A part of that will be a HUGE mirror just for OOTD! YAY!
Yay! I'm into the Beauty Blender demo you did. I have the BB but wasn't a big fan BUT i was using it dry... hmmm will try to wet it and see how it goes :) I'm excited to smell the Amber Essence :) M
I made the mistake (i think) of using alcohol on my beauty blender. While I wash it after each use I wanted to santize it - yikes! It blend hot pink when I squeezed it out. I can't say it ruined it but I was amazed how much dye it has.
Skindinavia partnered up with Urban Decay, not they also have they sprays, I bought two XL bottles for 18 bucks each, but I hope they're as good as the Skindinavia Brand.
I can't agree more with you on the Revlon Whipped Foundation! What shade did you get? They didn't make the shade Toast in the Whipped line which is so disappointing because that is the perfect shade for medium tan folk.
UD Chill, I have found, is the best makeup setting spray that I have found thus far. However, it still doesn't, like the others, do exactly what it says it will do.
love your make up.. I have a question do you know any dups for the eye shadow midnight 15 from the UD 15th ann pallette .. Thanks!!!! Love ur videos!!!!
Im very intrigued by the Amber essence, but wow $44 for 10ml is really expensive. I checked the website and they don't have a return policy, so its a risk. I love the Ambre Naguille.
Hey! Do you still use Nars Sheer Glow foundation in Stromboli to add more of a yellow undertone to your EL Double Wear? I noticed you used Nars in your older videos:)
Hi Nur! I am usually between sizes for rings, but I mostly wear a 7 for my ring finger. Should I go for the size 8 for the crown ring because of its wider design? Thank you! Manuela
LOL I laughed soooo hard when you were like "god that sounds sexual!" I thoroughly enjoy your videos and I'm soo glad you are uploading more consistently! Thank you for being so awesome nur!
just wanted to let you know that i went ahead and invested in my first high end foundation because of you! best investment ive made because the estee lauder double wear foundation is AMAZING! however, i got home and realised i was matched a shade lighter (tawny) which is the not so great part. do you have any suggestions as to how to get around this??
Hi. After thinking about it for about two years I finally bought the BeautyBlender. Now, I wonder, should I was it after every single use? BTW- I got the two pack, tried it with a foundation I was thinking about returning because I thought it looked too cakey, but the beautyblender made it look sooo good I got online and bought and place a second order of the beautyblender. Do you replace it every 3 months?
Hi beauty! Beauty blende is so hard to found In France . But it s a mist have . What s your Skin tone shade? I m NC 41. AMBER is my favourite ingrédient o
the only gripe with beauty blender is I can pay $20-30 for a good quality foundation brush (i LOVE the sigma buffing brush) and the brush would last me forever no matter how much I use it- I have had mine for years- whereas beauty blender isn't as cost effective as it needs to be replaced within months of daily use. I would rather spend the $ on trying out newer products.
hey nur, can u suggest extremely good conditioner for dry hair ..or how can i get that soft glossy hair look..i have hair like yours dry n curly n frizzy too...also have u tried l'occitain shampoo/conditioner??
hi...whats your foundation shade in mac? just for reference ...as I wanna just see if the products would look good on me cause I thinkI have similar tone
@nurberxo We batshit crazies need to stick together. I am a total proponent of face shaving. Have been for years. It makes such a difference in how makeup applies. LOVE IT!
Trust me, I thought the SAME thing. But it's completely undiluted- no alcohol, no water, no fillers. Pure scent. I would see if they sell it in a spa near you and you can smell it and see if you think it's worth it! I LOVE my Ambre Narguile, glad you love it as well!!!

Completely agree on the Beauty Blender non-dupabilty LOL once I had one, NOTHING ELSE on the market now will ever compare
you do the best videos. no cheese. no bs. you always back your opinions with proof. love love love your videos!
Even though I've heard of all these products I watch your videos because you're SOOO well spoken, love love love your videos
Yes! I learned about shaving your face from you and did see the Dr. Derm video!! It's amazing the difference in your skins 'feel' and texture!! Makeup goes on so smoothly, skin is so soft, glowing. Great tip!
I love that you showed the inside of the beauty blender!! Great idea, I also LOVE the beauty blenders, haven't found anything like it.
Also, after your video on 'shaving your face' I went out and bought those small razor things and tried it. You were right. Make-up application afterwards is incredible!

revlon whipped broke me out and i heard about a lot of people saying the same so its good you returned it lol
love the beauty blender too, that is cool how you showed it didn't absorb, very cool
Nur, finally I hear a negative on the Revlon Whipped Foundation!!! I was really beginning to think it was only me! It made me gray as well! Love your videos...thank u ;)
Agreed!! xo
"The dryer eating your socks.." LOL That was priceless!!!
I see some great suggestions! Can you take it back and exchange for the right color?
I ordered the 4 pk samples of all 4 ambre blends to try!
BIG difference when used wet! Try it and let me know what you think!
Thanks for showing that about the Beauty Blender, I've always wondered!
Tutorial on your eye look! I love it!
Haha, CONVERTED!! Nothing makes me happier than when viewers write stuff like this. Thank you! xo
Great demo on the Beauty blender!
I want to try everything you just mentioned!
I use a scalpel to shave my face. It's the best way to exfoliate. Facialists use it before doing SkinCeutical peels.
I guess I need to break down and finally try the beauty blender:) Loving that lip combo!!
I use Urban Decay D-slick spray and I have mixed feelings about it. I have like the oiliest t-zone in the world and I live in Texas. I feel like it works when it wants to. I'm going to have to try the original Skindinavia spray or All Nighter. Thanks for the suggestion.

Yes! I have dry skin =)
Haha! Me too!!
Trying you cheek combo this week!
i should try these and omg i love your lipgloss!!!!
Catching up on your videos xxx

You're STUNNING!

I found that the soho beauty sponge (walgreens) comes pretty darn close to the BB sponge, in fact I prefer it.
Thanks love! xo
HAHA!! Pester enough and I will cave ;) But seriously, currently working on completely setting up my space for makeup and videos. A part of that will be a HUGE mirror just for OOTD! YAY!
Yay! I'm into the Beauty Blender demo you did. I have the BB but wasn't a big fan BUT i was using it dry... hmmm will try to wet it and see how it goes :) I'm excited to smell the Amber Essence :) M
You always look great!!!
can you do a bridal look? I am getting married next June and I am needing some inspiration....thank you!
Hi, my setting spray is by skindinavia & urban decay. It's called All Nighter. Maybe check out a ud counter?
I made the mistake (i think) of using alcohol on my beauty blender. While I wash it after each use I wanted to santize it - yikes! It blend hot pink when I squeezed it out. I can't say it ruined it but I was amazed how much dye it has.
Live watching your videos!
Can I just say that I love your videos and you are really, really beautiful!
Skindinavia partnered up with Urban Decay, not they also have they sprays, I bought two XL bottles for 18 bucks each, but I hope they're as good as the Skindinavia Brand.
Thanks so much for replying, Nur!
I can't agree more with you on the Revlon Whipped Foundation! What shade did you get? They didn't make the shade Toast in the Whipped line which is so disappointing because that is the perfect shade for medium tan folk.
Great video! What camera do you use? It doesn't have an HD setting for viewing but the quality seems fantastic! x
UD Chill, I have found, is the best makeup setting spray that I have found thus far. However, it still doesn't, like the others, do exactly what it says it will do.
Awesome suggestions!
love your make up.. I have a question do you know any dups for the eye shadow midnight 15 from the UD 15th ann pallette .. Thanks!!!! Love ur videos!!!!

xo
wow. great way to assure us on the beauty blender! xo
Can you please do a video on someone your skin tone with acne scars? I would love to see how you cover dark acne scars on a woman with darker skin.
What shade of the Revlon foundation did you buy? Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
Hey! Do you still use Nars Sheer Glow foundation in Stromboli to add more of a yellow undertone to your EL Double Wear? I noticed you used Nars in your older videos:)
Hi Nur! I am usually between sizes for rings, but I mostly wear a 7 for my ring finger. Should I go for the size 8 for the crown ring because of its wider design? Thank you! Manuela
Nur my dear I saved enough to buy the crown ring! Is it available? Please say yes :)
Nur- You can buy it from Skindinavia's website
Love your videos!
You can get it on amazon for cheaper than that, just thought I would let you know.
♥♥♥
how do you get your beauty blender so clean after every use.
LOL I laughed soooo hard when you were like "god that sounds sexual!" I thoroughly enjoy your videos and I'm soo glad you are uploading more consistently! Thank you for being so awesome nur!
Nur, do you still have access to the crown rings? If so, I'd like to order one from you, please. Thanks!
LOL! Totally asked for this! =P
i seriously adore you
Flawless!
just wanted to let you know that i went ahead and invested in my first high end foundation because of you! best investment ive made because the estee lauder double wear foundation is AMAZING! however, i got home and realised i was matched a shade lighter (tawny) which is the not so great part. do you have any suggestions as to how to get around this??
agree with you theres no dupe for beauty blender... ive tried all of the ones that look alike nothing does the job!
I'll check it out, but only because you said "looksy" ;)
you need to do a tutorial on shaving your face.
Hi. After thinking about it for about two years I finally bought the BeautyBlender. Now, I wonder, should I was it after every single use?

Which color/shade did you buy in the Revlon Whipped Foundation?
Another great video!!!

I would rather spend the $ on trying out newer products.
I have tried EVERY Beauty Blender dupe. There isn't another exactly like it. The Soho sponge is close but still not the Beauty Blender.
hey nur, can u suggest extremely good conditioner for dry hair ..or how can i get that soft glossy hair look..i have hair like yours dry n curly n frizzy too...also have u tried l'occitain shampoo/conditioner??
just use a little bronzer to darken it, a liquid bronzer would be best and mix it in
hi...whats your foundation shade in mac? just for reference ...as I wanna just see if the products would look good on me cause I thinkI have similar tone
I watched the derm vid. Why not just exfoliate? Did you answer that in your face shaving vid?
hiw do u shave your face? i do u just use the same razor as what u use for your legs?
you're on a roll with making videos! haha i like it though :)
u look like you're wearing highlighter awesome blush
LOL!! Too cute! Don't worry, I have no life either!
plaster on your face?? in your description box...GENIUS!! :) xoxo
