I cannot express how happy I am that you still make these kinds of videos. I love watching all your videos. The information great and 100% honesty is so appreciated. Thank you for all the hard work you put into your videos. 🙏🏻

Hard Candy was side by side with Urban Decay at Ulta, late 90s - 2000s! Seems unreal now.

Restaurant meltdowns are TOTALLY hard. My little one was 18 months when we were on vacation out to dinner. We had received our drinks and placed our food order when he started losing his mind- refusing to sit or be held, screaming crying. Turns out he was coming down with some illness- developed a fever and clearly wasn’t feeling great, but the first sign was his behavior being off at the restaurant. We quickly let the server know we needed to change our order to go- I waited for the food and took care of the bill while my husband exited with kiddo. It feels mortifying as it is happening (people staring is not my favorite!) but anyone with kids can relate to the difficulties!

So many underrated brands:PUR, Violet Voss, TheBalm, Stila as well, Jouer. All have great quality items I love

When my daughter was about a year old, she had a meltdown in a Steak n' Shake. My husband took her outside while I got boxes for our food/paid/collected our 3 year old and left the restaurant. There was a group of teenagers sitting a few booths down from us giving looks and making snide comments. I ignored them as much as possible until I heard one of them say "If that baby had cried ONE MORE TIME, I swear that I'd go (something about smacking my daughter). That was the point at which I lost my cool, marched over to their booth and asked them exactly what they would do to my kid, and told them that I hope that they experience this exact same situation once they had a child of their own so that they could think back on this moment and realize just how awful they were being. Not my finest moment, but we can't control when our kids decide that they have had enough - the only thing we can do is remove them from the situation as quickly as we can, which it sounds like you did.

For anyone who needs color correcting around the eyes before you use concealer, Hard Candy has peach and green correctors. I use the peach almost every day, it's really good!

As a SUPER pale girl with a very pink undertone, I've used the hard candy foundation for YEARS. It's one of TWO drugstore foundations that actually has my pasty shade and doesn't make me look orange or yellow....but I keep using it instead of the other (loreal infallible powder foundation) because of how pretty it looks on the skin and how long lasting it is. Cosmetic companies (rightly so) have spent so much time extending the shades on the deep end of the spectrum, but they haven't extended the light end at all. Especially with drugstore. They tend to think everyone is beige and tan....and have terrible unrealistic options for anyone who is lighter or darker than that. The main problem people like me have is even the lightest shade (porcelain or ivory) has an ORANGE undertone....making it look like we've had a bad spray tan only on the face. Hard Candy has a shade though....that's even too pale for ME (it's basically just white, lol). It's why they will always have my heart when it comes to makeup....plus I've always thought their packaging is cute❤

I would love to see a tinted brow gel rating video (similar to what you did with tinted moisturizer), comparing the hold versus pigmentation and affordability

[kristanm]

The grip primer is SO underrated! I got it on a whim several months ago because the Elf one was never in stock, and I like it so much better. My makeup seems to last a bit longer, and it applies a bit smoother.

When you put that blush on, I was immediately like Nope, That’s definitely gonna be a Pass for me but DANG, am I the only one who thinks that your cheeks actually look truly naturally flushed in the prettiest way ever after blending it in. ❤️
Thanks for making these videos.

[CreekSideLagotto]

All I can say is I do not miss Blippi videos or hauling sacks of toys snacks book’s clothes. God bless Moms in this phase cuz you are all 😇!

[tedoymisojos]

My daily foundation is from this brand (GlamoFlauge 16hr). Great for textured, acne prone skin, and long night shifts. I wasnt expecting a spotlight on this brand. Im excited to watch. Thanks Emily!😃

[dianeguy]

I really admire you as a mom, Emily in many many ways and I’m 64 lol but hearing you talk about little Bubba’s meltdown and how you knew you needed to take him out of the restaurant really makes me happy. I’ve sat through too many kids crying and moms who just stay there with them, my mother-in-law was usually around to take them by the hand and walk them outside so we could eat. It’s also amazing how you unbelievably understood where he was coming from as a young mama I used to just get frustrated at the behavior but you understand it, and that is really to be commended.❤

[kellya]

That foundation is the affordable version of Estee Lauder Double Wear! If you look at the ingredients, they're virtually the same! Looks and wears the same on me (oily skin, hot humid FL).

[lisawithans]

Hi Emily, thanks for doing this video. You have been a Hard Candy supporter for years! I do remember when Hard Candy was higher end, that was a long time ago 😊. I do like the primers from Hard Candy.

[PurposefulHomeschool]

I remember when Hard Candy was in department stores way before Sephora existed! They always had such cute displays that were definitely targeting the teens. I never could afford their stuff at the time. I think they sell exclusively at Walmart - if you go to their site they refer you to Walmart for their products.

[xoxoamazingful]

I've been loving the videos you've been doing lately using brands from the lower end of the drugstore!

[tammysalvaggio]

I love that you do reviews of all of one certain brand !! Been watching you from WAY back! ( apartment days )Could you please maybe do a whole face of profusion ??? Would love to see what you like out of the brand .

[godslittlestidiot]

I want to try them again, but I cannot bring myself to enter a Walmart without a tranquilizer first. I will have to look online

[rimajones]

Love your videos. Watching for years . Please do a best 20 dupes ever video for us.
