BEAUTIES:
UPDATE // The banana powder is definitely a no go in terms of color but my under eye area looked amazing all day. Pores never got any worse but I will be testing out this foundation with another powder to determine if the powder or the foundation is what sinks into my pores. The foundation didn’t fade and wore well for 8 hours. After that, I did need to blot on my chin and nose. At 10 hours, I had a little wear on the lower part of my face, around the jawline. I never felt dry, not even around my mouth. (Typical dry area for me) The blush stayed in place!!!! SO HAPPY about that! Bronzer didn’t fade or get patchy. I will make sure to update you as I continue to test these products out. Thank you for watching!
XOXOX

Doing my makeup right now 😊
Here is a fun fact; LYS in Danish can mean either light or candle.

[LindseyTamRen]

Mel, thank you for highlighting and reviewing this new B.O.B.! As a black woman, I am proud to see them in Sephora and excited to try their products. :)

[karenbryden-blom]

Oh Mel your hair is so dang cute 💕 Loving this look on you! Hope you don’t lose your power. Take care!

[americajones]

Literally ordered last night and I saw your video this morning. Can’t wait to get it. Ordered from SEPHORA so they will keep the brand. 😁

[hallievanoutryve]

The prices seem very reasonable considering the luxe packaging and high quality ingredients!

[LuvLeahMe]

I hope you all are doing better than we have done in Texas, with this storm. Stay warm and safe 💜

[MrsAi]

Morning beat + Mel + coffee = great morning ! 🙌🏼

[nonilady]

These look really pretty! I’m grabbing the blush and bronzer! Beautiful on you! Mel I hope y’all are staying warm the weather is just crazy here in Texas and we keep up with Tennessee because my in law’s live there. Love ya girl. Have a wonderful weekend 💕💕💕

[CTcatfur]

Sounds promising as a skincare/makeup combo. I love, love, love your wispy bangs Mel

[valerievalois]

Good morning Miss Mel, Lys in French is the flower lily. I am interested in that beautiful blush. Thank you for reviewing this brand and by the way, I commented on yesterday’s video at the beginning but 🦋🪲🐞😜

[candicebetrue]

You are absolutely stunning! One day I will be brave enough to do this haircut and your tattoos are everything

[biogirl]

this brand seems to be right up my alley, because i like light coverage (medium coverage at most) which is why i mostly use bb creams or tinted moisturizer. i’m liking that bronzer and blush as well, and the price point is pretty fantastic. the products look beautiful on you. then again, you can make a potato sack look chic.

[mariakou]

The triangle shape is genius! I love your hairstyle! No relation between those two! :)

[KBellaBeauty]

Every time I watch your videos I stare at your brows 😍 #goals. I can’t wait for my LYS products to arrive!

[adina]

Love the concept behind this brand, that it is clean beauty and the packaging too. Also love they are the first black owned clean beauty brand in Sephora. Tfs all the products looked good on you. I saw that powder in action and I love how it blurs under the eyes

[Catsjamify]

Thank you for the super early first impressions! I have dry and old skin (I'm 51) and serum foundations are totally my jam, so I wanted to check out LYS but wanted to see it in action first...it totally looks like all the things I like, plus the price is really good! It's in my Sephora cart right now, and your video hasn't even ended yet. Also....the Wayne Goss brush you were using under your eyes looked absolutely dreamy soft. I've resisted getting them because of the cost, but holy moley they always look amazing! I still have a blush brush that I got in the mid-90s, so obviously I take care of my stuff, so maybe I need to invest in some dreamy soft brushes too.

[bron]

I like the look of the bronzer & blush 😃 We probably won’t get it in Sephora Australia for ages though...everything takes so long here 😕 We’re finally getting Milk Makeup...in April 🤦🏼‍♀️ Hope the storms ease up soon....take care ! Cheers Bron 😊🇦🇺

[marthadewey]

Your skin looked so wonderful...your commentary at the end about "even without a highlighter" you saw a natural glow...nicely done !!

[susiodzak]

We just got this brand in australia so of course I wanted to see Mel’s take on it, miss her
