Y’all i forgot to add mascaras! SO sorry! I like thickening mascaras so my top 2 favorites are L’Oréal Voluminous and Diorshow mascaras

I am a simple woman. I see Marlena, I click play ❤

Look at you! Supporting women & their businesses, not tearing them down & then crying wolf! We appreciate a true, strong & confident lady!

[MaryMichelleWorthy]

Can we talk about her makeup look in this video? Queen is serving us

[nonilady]

Wayne mentioned his brushes will be back😊. What a wonderful treat for you to give us a video with the best products! This is to download for reference!!! Thank you!

I would love to see this but in drugstore products or products under 25 dollars only. not everyone can afford 45 dollar products sometimes but still want something good. But I think I might have found some new favs in this video too :)

Marlena!!! I just received my package today!! I was the girl from twitter that you gave the highlighters to! I’m GOBSMACKED with these highlighters. Daybreak is going to be treasured and I’m not kidding. It beats my all time favorite one. I’m the type of girl who stays with her favorites and tends to not reach for new. I’ve never used anything like this. I’m trying to convince my social anxiety to let me start a channel because I just have been blown away with every product I got. The brushes. The liner. I mean it. I’ve been playing with and staring at everything ALL DAY LONG! You’re an actual angel I swear. You deserve nothing but everything.

I feel like Fenty is one of the very rare celeb brands that you can tell the celeb actually cares and is doing it because they love beauty, not just a cash grab. Rare Beauty and Haus Labs too (and I really only started feeling like that about Haus recently, because it took her a minute to create products good enough to gain traction).

Been watching you since 2008 Marlena! Love you’re back doing makeup videos again!! ❤

[BaileySarian]

[fayadpalos]

Love your videos!! 🩷🩷

The BEST foundations for mature skin is Bare Minerals original powder foundation & Laura Geller Baked Balance n Brighten. Hands down! I have tried so many foundations at 63 years old. I’m done with searching now that I’ve gone back to these two.

That highlighter from ABH is still in my everyday bag!! I’m 42 and it doesn’t settle in my skin and make it look gross! It’s also the never-ending gobstopper of highlighters because mine is from the 1st launch and I haven’t even smoothed down the waves yet. 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

[TheNicoleSanchez]

Thank you so much for including many fragrance free options. I became allergic to fragrance and a lot of essential oils recently 😢, and it’s amazing how many products have fragrance. I can get away with fragrance in many products, but not foundation, concealer and primer - things that cover big areas of my skin. Eugenia from Senna is incredible and I really like the Senna under eye brightening powder a lot too.

[cecynay]

Marlena, thank you for being there through all of it. I've been watching you since the beginning of YouTube. Thank you for your integrity and consistency.

[janicedevereux]

I’m still using your Auburn eyebrow pencils…. I have six in my back up. That’s how much I love them. Not too soft, not too hard and the Auburn color is perfect for me… not too orange and not too dark… Thank you for making a lovely product.

[PaolaHerreraBeauty]

I Also keep my Amrezy highlighter! Hands down, THE BEST Ever! Love you Marlena! 💖💄

[elainetuck]

My budget needs the drugstore version, some these brands I have never heard of. You are beautiful and I enjoyed watching your video.

[angelicaalfaro]
