I bought the L’Oreal foundation you like, will update!

[marn]

I'm so excited you got the ND palette, looking forward for many pink eyelooks🤗 I enjoy shopping with no interruptions too🤗

[josiegrace]

I hate going to Sephora stores! I always feel like they are judging me too and it’s uncomfortable

[GraceCase]

Now that you have a new palette, I will take this opportunity to ask you for more eye look tutorials. You always have the best eye looks!

[Heather_isms]

I appreciate that you tested this, was curious about it. If it didn't work for you, it won't work for me.

[dionline]

Even though you didn't care for this foundation (I haven't heard of anyone who did!) you always find a way to make your look pretty freaking beautiful. Great job!! I know what you mean about Sephora, I don't want anything, I don't need anything but, by damn, when I get there I can always fill up a bag with things that are 'so They know us so well. Happy Leap Day to you!!

[BunNessa_Art]

I personally would love to see you use the blendiful more in a Get Ready With Me! 😀😊 I've been using the blendiful too and so far really enjoy it!

[kateo]

I'm sure no one noticed anything bad about the foundation because of your eye look, GORGEOUS!! And I can't wait to see the looks you do with the Love palette!! Yes on a GRWM using the Blendiful . . . really though, I love your GRWMs, don't really care about the Blendiful! LOL Have a wonderful weekend Shelly!

[eileenforbes]

So glad you shared what you bought!!!!

[AnnieBoBannie]

I've never had any luck with Milani foundations, not surprised at all!!!💗 Too bad

[leahmiranda]

Hi Shelly! I love the Blendiful! Glad you like it. I got the Natasha Denona Love Cheek palette. I was hesitant about it because I thought it would be too much for my very mature skin. It is Bea-uti-ful! I'm so glad I took a chance. I also got the Blush and Glow in Darya for half price on the Sephora site. Equally beautiful. That one is a 6 pan palette, same concept. Have a nice weekend! ❤

Foundation just did not work, but those eyes are really pretty! Last time I went to Sephora I said I would never go back and I haven't As an older woman I feel they discriminate was the only one in there and they did not even speak to me... I was going to restock some Drunk Elephant products... I just left..Maybe they need a crash course in customer service!

[christinecrowley]

Can't wait to see some looks with the ND Love Palette..i love pink eyeshadow!!! :)

[kimberlydunham]

Please please please do a video on the Blendiful! I have it and can’t seem to get it to work for me.

I was waiting to hear your thoughts on this foundation. I tried it a few weeks ago and didn't like anything about it. Like you, mine bunched up all over my face almost immediately and was very difficult to blend. It left a lot of texture on my skin that looked like scales but felt gummy when I touched it. When I applied powder to try to even out the texture or blur, it went cakey everywhere. Yuck! I ended up returning it for a refund. Very disappointing since I like Milani. I completely agree with your assessment that it doesn't work on mature skin. On the upside, I found a liquid/gel blush that I am in love with! It's the new Maybelline Cheek Heat in the shade 15-Nude Burn. Awful name but such a pretty pinky/nude color. It goes on sheer but is totally buildable. I use the elf small stipple brush to apply it and I love how natural it looks. :-) I also agree with you about Sephora vs Ulta's customer service. Much prefer Ulta, in fact I was there earlier today and picked up a new bh Cosmetics palette, Smitten in Switzerland. Soooo pretty!!

[darceysav]

Hello Shelly! so I am excited to share a truly life changing technique! Many foundations are too matte for me as I have dry skin, and I have been setting to the side, a lot of foundations I wished I could use. So what I have been doing is dotting the foundation around my face, then spraying my face with any hydrating spray then bouncing it out. HOLY WOW WOW WOW it works like magic and I am now able to get a lot of use out of all the foundations I have not been able to use in the past. so happy!

[takishasallbeautyzone]

Dang it Shelly! I was avoiding the Amreezy palette like the plague. But here you come looking all gorgeous and stuff! Oooh...you temptress! 😜 I understand what you mean by the judgment in beauty stores. Thanks for taking one for the team with this foundation. 👍🏽

[GenerationXChick]

I agree with you about Sephora vs. Ulta

[vanessahinds]

I have dry skin, too, and it's the same shade as yours. Plus I'm in my 50s so your reviews are perfect for me! I'm so sad this didn't work out, but I trust your reviews implicitly. Thanks so much for all the effort you put in! :) xo

[mlg]

yes, to blendiful review. I'm curious. Whenever a pump isn't working, take the bottle, upright, and pound the bottom into your palm a few times.
