Reviews: New To Me Skincare, Hair Dryer, Mascara & Lipstick
good morning I’m Mary Ellen from the channel Mary Ellen after 60 and I’m here today to do some reviews a couple of the items were sent to me and the rest I purchased and I’m just going to go ahead and get started I am not married to any skin care product if I’m married to any of it it is retin-a but if it’s would start bothering me I would quit that in a moment I’d been hearing a lot of really good things about dermatology and they contacted me and I knew I wanted to try just a few of their products so they let me pick out what I wanted to try and I want to talk about them today this right now I have on makeup but this morning right after I did my skincare I used two of the items and I’ve been trying these now for a couple of weeks on this side I use the broad spectrum SPF 45 and on this side I use the tinted moisturizer SPF 46 and I’m going to put a picture in and show you what my skin looked like with both of these on I could not tell any difference the broad-spectrum 45 comes out white but it just in a second it goes clear this comes out kind of like tan but if you look at the picture you can’t tell any difference on either one of them I didn’t have a just a basic sunscreen because today I have on my hard candy glamoflauge and there’s no sunscreen in it so I was really looking for a good sunscreen to wear under different kinds of foundation that I have and I tell you what I was really I’ve been really pleased with both of them I was hoping the tinted moisturizer would give me more coverage but you know me I want I want it to do at all I want whatever I have to do everything I’m gonna link these below so you can look and see if you’re sensitive to any of the ingredients normally after I’ve used something for three days is when I can look and see and and inspect and see if I’m going to get I used what I did was I used half on one side of my face for about a week with the other at the same time then I tried them all over my face and these really are good products the tinted moisturizer is 1.
7 ounces and it sells I think for $21 and I’m going to compare it to what I use and I continue to use this this is the anti-aging armor it’s a 50 SPF and I don’t see much difference between 46 and 50 so that wouldn’t sway me one way or the other but this is one ounce I think for $38 this does provide some coverage so if I wear this I don’t put any foundation on afterwards but I really do think this is a good deal and a good product the broad-spectrum SPF has two fluid ounces and I’m gonna put I think I think the price is twenty one dollars also so I was pleased with both of these and I can see myself repurchasing them and I when I need some the other product I wanted to try from dermatology is the essential 11 hydrating cleanser well first of all I need to let you know how I cleanse my face I only use cleanser on my face at night and what my normal protocol is I have a couple of ways to do it when I go in to my bathroom I will get my face wet and I’ll either use one of my makeup removers to take my makeup off or sometimes I just put I use the purity made simple this is eight ounces and I put a small amount in my hand and on my wet face I put it on my eyelashes and then I dab the rest on my face I rub it in and always let mine set for a few minutes I might load up my toothbrush I might do a couple of things but I walk around and I kind of let it do its thing and then I rinse it all off and that’s all I do to cleanse my face I know my face is clean and is ready for skin care long before I started my channel I was using the pure teamate simple and I have tried quite a few other brands I know I’ve purchased for other types of cleansers and they just didn’t leave my skin feeling the way out to feel so I did the same thing with the dermatology essential 11 hydrating cleanser the first night I just you know splashed water on my face I put one pump in my hand you know I did the same I put it on my eyes I rubbed it in I let it kind of set for a few minutes and then I rinsed it off my face my skin felt really good and my eyes didn’t burn my eyes don’t burn with the period II made simple the next night I think I got too much in my eyes because they did burn this is 7.
1 ounces this is eight ounces of product the dermatology is $26 and this is $24 I consider that very close in price and I can see myself purchasing this again if I ever run out of a pier tea made simple but you know me I always stock up and I have backups so it may be a while before I purchased this but I like the way my skin felt after I used it I don’t know if I’ll have a discount code if I do I’ll enter it up here but like most companies if you go to their website and you sign up for emails they’ll let you know when there’s a sale and but there have been so many sales from companies that never have sales so if you’re interested I would sign up for their email and like I said I’ll let you know if I have a code below but I was very pleased with these products and I would repurchase any of them the next item that was sent to me is from the company irresistible me and it’s the black diamond professional hair dryer and again the way I can review this is comparing it with what I have what I have right now and I’ve had for five years is a nano titanium blow dryer by babel as’ and I’m not positive that’s how you pronounce it so if I’m pronouncing it wrong let me know and this is my new one from irresistible me they are identical in all the specifications with the exception of this has 2000 watts this is 1875 what this comes with one of the light directors that you put on the end this comes with two they both wait exactly 14 ounces this one of course is a little bit more compact you can easily clean the back of this one on this one you have to remove this to get to it my old one I think is $85 and this is on sale for $59 they both have six settings and they’re the kind of and they’re right over here and you don’t miss with them you know like when you’re blowing your hair dry and you hit them by the way you I hope this I never hit them and this has a cool shot right here this one has the same settings or six different settings and it has a cool shot so they are both great if this is still $59 this would be my choice they both have the negative ions that smooth your hair I think what they do is they it seals the cuticles of your hair they’re both really good blow dryers and I could recommend this I think most of the ones on the market are 1200 watt or 1500 watt and these this definitely blows my hair quickly and is very comfortable to use irresistible me is the company that sent me the extensions that I haven’t been able to wear because I haven’t really gone anywhere I’ll put a link to a video up here and down below if you want to see my hair extensions because I really was impressed with them and I wanted to get back to you on a product that I’ve already reviewed but I said I went the more I used it I would let you know what I thought and this was sent to me by from the company color well and it’s a mystical shine spray I taste something I don’t like about it I had to put tape around the end of it right here because this silver kept coming off bad but you know that is annoying to me when that silver gets in your fingertips and you don’t see it and you put your hand on your face I didn’t like that but I will tell you this work does exactly what it says it will do it is lightweight it is non greasy and it does make your hair shine night today I didn’t use it because I use that curling thing yesterday and it shows up a lot better when your hair is smooth in fact I used it in some of my videos and I got a lot of compliments for having here but it will last two days see I wash my hair one day let two days go by and then why should again and by the third day the shine isn’t there I didn’t spray it on my roots I just sprayed it on the sides and and I was really pleased with it but it’s $29 so and for me that’s a little bit high I don’t know that I would repurchase it that it does do what it says it’s going to do so now I’m going to talk about the items that I purchased I’m signed up I’m signed up for emails from any company that I’m the least bit interested in because if they have a sale that’s when I’m tempted to buy something well I’ve wanted to try thrive mascara for a long time and they had a free shipping and handling and I bought synthroid mascara you know I only buy cruelty-free makeup and thrive is vegan and cruelty free and they really have a nice mission and they give to other women and other causes for me to get this home this is I think $24 and there was a dollar fifty tax on it and I can’t tell you anything bad about this product it is I think it’s excellent do I like it more than my superhero no but it but it does a trick and I put a photo in here and I asked you which side you think and I have superhero on one eye and drive on the other and I’ll write that in on the photo but I want to show you the wand it is a tubing mascara I’ve had one other two being mascara that I know of you put it on your eyelashes and it forms little tubes and when you take off your your mascara at night all you need to do is get a warm washcloth and hold it on your eyes and these little things just fall from your lashes it’s it’s really cool if you have trouble with your mascara staying on I think this would be a really good one for this summer I don’t ever put anything on my eyelashes when I do my skincare I don’t put anything on my and when I start putting on makeup I don’t pounce anything on it I want clean dry mascara and that’s why I know I don’t have any trouble with my superhero this is twenty five fifty I will use this I will enjoy it but I think I’m gonna stick with my favorite until something else comes along because I just ordered quite a few of them at a special price and I think they’ll be end up being like $10 a piece so I’m excited about that many times when you all make suggestions to me I type it into an area on my computer on suggestions well a couple of years ago someone with the name Mary Ellen suggested that I try a new brand of lipsticks and I did break my lipstick nobody and I’m fine with that the last time I purchased any lip products was January 1st so I’m fine and I was really wanting to try this company and it’s called color of the world it’s cruelty free vegan they hand pour each tube and the tubes come in cardboard and and I’ll show you what they look like these were both on sale I got both of these to my home I think for less than $28 normally they’re $21 apiece the reason I wanted to order from color of the world is they really have a good mission also they helped numerous charities this one’s called pretty and pink and this is to help people with brain injuries they make a donation to the cause and this is empowered in this they’ll donate for people that are suffering from depression and anxiety I’ll type the name of the website above so you all if you want to go look and I think it’s ten percent of their profits they donate to all different kinds of charities I’m going to put a photo in of me with pretty and pink on and that’s what I’m wearing today this is what I had on this morning I didn’t have on any makeup in this picture and I think that’s a really good way to tell if it’s a good color for you and this that this one is pretty and pink the next one is empowered and the last photo is empowered with some pretty in pink so I’ve got to tell you what I want per lipstick the last thing I do before I go into my dressing room to put on makeup is I take a washcloth and I clean my lips off I want my lips to be dry I don’t want to put on anything over it I don’t want to put on a balm and I want to be able to put on lipstick that does not bleed that feels good on my lips and it stays for a decent amount of time I’m not as I mean it’s not that important to me the longevity of something but what’s important to me is how it feels on my lips and that it doesn’t bleed every lipstick I’ve ever mentioned on my channel doesn’t bleed or I wouldn’t have it I would pass it on very quickly if it bled well I think these make your lips look really nice I think it makes your lips look smooth they have a good staying power but for me they’re just not quite as comfortable it’s what I’m used to they’re not as comfortable as Milani and Melanie’s cruelty-free I haven’t course I haven’t tried the L’Oreal color riche I’ve heard fabulous things about those but it’s not cruelty free so I’m comparing this to Milani and as far as how it performs I do like my Milani best will I purchase more of these I might I like them and I love their mission but I just kind of have to tell you exactly how I feel but everybody’s different there are some people that put balm on their lips and I may try that to see if they feel any better but they kind of make my lips feel a little dry and I’ve been testing these for two weeks I have a really good feel of these lipsticks so that’s it for me and my reviews today I want to announce the winner of last week’s giveaway in the giveaway there’s the color pop
