So gorgeous even without makeup. I think the Revlon side held up better. Both give you a nice healthy glow. I'm sorry that you felt awful. Hoping you are feeling well today. Lots of hugs and love to you, sweet Melissa❣💖💗♥️
Hi Melissa. I am a die hard Lancome foundation lover. They are my absolute favorite but I never thought of trying the stick foundation. I always thought it would look too cakey and full coverage. Well, I tried it today and I am in LOVE. It is the most creamy, natural looking foundation and it absolutely makes my skin look flawless. It is worth every penny. Thank you so much for the recommendation. You made my day!! Oh by the way, Nordstrom is having a sale and Lancome is 15% off so it came out to $36.55. Plus, you get a free gift. The free gift has a really pretty eyeshadow palette and juicy tubes lip gloss plus skin care products.
We are both stick lovers. I have not tried the drug store stick foundations and based on this review, I won't! But I HAVE tried every higher end stick foundation off Sephora and, like you, the Lancome stick can NOT be beat. I LOVE it. Thank you for sharing this! Sure hope you are feeling better.
What a difference at the end of the day. The Revlon really held up. I’ve never used a stick foundation but I may need to try one. You’re always beautiful. I bet that house is spotless, ready for the queen!
Hi Melissa, I would have to agree with you that the Revlon side held up better than the Maybelline side. Initially both looked really pretty on you. I think if you love the Lancome stick foundation you should get that one and not buy the others. Lancome makes beautiful products and when something works well then stick with it! You looked pretty even when not feeling well. I always love to see houses and how people decorate. Before the pandemic my husband and I would go to open houses in our neighborhood just to see how they did the yard or fixed up the kitchen. It was especially fun when we were remodeling our kitchen and bathrooms. Thanks so much for taking the time to test out these foundations. It was a fun video. Have a wonderful weekend! Love, Karen
Thanks so much for doing these comparisons, Melissa. 😊 I’m anxious to pick up a stick foundation, so these videos are helpful! I trust you’re feeling well, and the infusion has done it’s good work. I love you, as always! 💜
Love seeing the house Melissa and still love the video that you made walking down your street. It's nice to get a peek into someone's environment, makes things relatable so really looking forward to that! Plus I loved your cooking videos. Still make your leek and kielbasa soup. It's a real family favourite! Take care of yourself love. Best wishes from Liverpool UK x
Hi, have you tried the Revolution stick foundation. I have used it in the past and it beautiful and very creamy to blend. I think I'm going to buy it again come to think of it.
Hello sweet friend. The Revlon side seemed to have held up better than the Maybelline side. I've used the Maybelline stick foundation and it applies smoothly and gave me a glow to my skin. It seems that the center part has moisturizer but not sure. It feels like it. Lol ! I should try the Revlon so I can compare. 🙂 Thank you for your comparison. Hope you're feeling better. Love you ! 💞
I have never used a stick foundation!! It was hard for me to pay attention to the makeup because of your beauty. My goodness you and my youngest daughter 40 years old are just naturally beautiful. You actually look younger than her. I know her sickness has aged her. I do hope your feeling better. Please show your house from what I’ve seen it looks beautiful. Hope you have a great weekend ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for sharing, Melissa! Yes, the Revlon side looked like it held up better! I'm sorry about your rough day and I hope you are feeling better by now!
Oh the Revlon looks beautiful...sweetie you look gorgeous without a stitch of makeup on...excited about seeing your house again...I love those kinds of videos and the outdoor ones too..hope your having a beautiful wknd😍
Hi Beautiful Lady! I know you may have felt bad... but you always look great! I could see the breakdown of Maybeline... and the Revlon looked difficult to work with .. although you did great job. I have to say... I am using my points with Sephora...and I use my Lancome stick foundation a lot! I use my artis brush to smooth it on... I use 3 longer stripes and two small... and that’s plenty. I feel like for 33. It lasts well and is worth it. Thank you for these comparisons. It really helps those of us wondering about other brands. I vote Lancome though. ☀️❤️ Friday night is my shot night for my biologic... I understand and I am not so much an early morning person as I was ... I need my coffee and to watch my dogs play when they go out...times have changed for me in that respect.🙄 but it’s ok... not a real big deal in the scheme of things. Love you!
The Revlon does look better. I like Lancome better too & I love Nars foundation stick the most for my skin type & tone but I have used Revlon when money was tight. Great video Melissa, I hope you are feeling better.
Hope you are feeling better Melissa;).🙏🙏🙏. I think the Revlon side definitely held up better. Never tried the Lancome stick foundation, but now that you said how wonderful it is, will have to try it. I find it's a hit or miss: I like some items from maybelline, some estee Lauder, etc. Right now I'm trying out elf. Pretty good for the price. Always good to see you!!! Have a great weekend ❤❤❤🤗🤗🤗👏👏👏
I want to try the Revlon stick foundation, but like you, I have the Lancôme and I love it. Nothing beats it for my oily T-zone and for a flawless look. I have the Bobbi Brown, Complexion Rescue by Bare Minerals, Wet 'n Wild and L'Oreal Infalliable. That's a lot of stick foundations! Maybe skip the drugstore and just buy the Lancôme...it would be cheaper in the long run! Well, I love makeup, so I have to try it all...LOL. Thanks for this comparison. I look forward to hearing more about the stick foundations you have tried. Thanks, Melissa! ~Nancy
I wear the Elf stick foundation and I love it. I’m in the Navy and on deployments I need something quick and effective. You should try the Elf with some powder. I used to wear the Bobby Brown, and the Elf is almost as good. Thanks for the review.
The Maybelline made you look a little more dewy where the Revlon made you look more matte. I have to agree with the majority of the group I preferred the Revlon on you, I think it held up pretty well. I am like you I have tried so many foundations high end and drug store but the one that I have found that I love the best and reach for the most often is not a stick but a liquid by Cover Girl and it is the Cover Girl + Olay simply ageless I get more compliments on that one than any other foundation that I own. You look amazing Melissa I am glad you are feeling better after your Infusion. I feel the same way with my RA flares, it is bad! Have a great weekend!💕
Thank you so much Joyce. I will have to give that one a try. Sometimes the ones that we’re used to and have used for a while, turn out to be the best ones overall! I sure hate it that you have RA. That’s hard to handle. Many thanks and take care
Joyce, I agree with you about the Revlon...I thought it looked nicer and covered better, and yes, one of my favorites is also Cover Girl + Olay simply ageless in the creamy compact form that you apply with a sponge- I always test my makeup looks -I see if I get a compliment from my husband, and that one usually does! But I love the Lancôme stick foundation too, but use it sparingly because it is pricey and comes in a rather small tube!
Thank you Melissa for doing this.I have only tried the Bobbi Brown & that was not cheap.So I really appreciate you doing the leg work.By the way you look wonderful & i know you are not happy with not going to the hair salon but trust me you alls way look gorgeous & impeccable.The main thing is your health. Love always & I really mean that my beautiful friend .sending love across the pond 💖🇬🇧💖Xxxx
Melissa I will be forever grateful to you for finding my 'holy grail' foundation - the Lancome stick! I'd advise others to go to a store to test colours on your face as they have a wide range and it's expensive!! It glies on like butter and I blend it with a stiple brush even though it's so easy to blend with your fingers. I use it as a concealer, just add a bit of blusher/mascara and I'm done in 5 minutes! Sorry you had a tough day. Hope you're feeling better today xo
They really do have a wide range of colors and I like this one a lot. It's a great formula, too. It just looks nice on the face doesn't it? aw, thank you! Lots of love and thanks, Melissa
You are gorgeous and so easy to relate to. Love your videos your sense of humor and humility. We have so many things in common including GI issues. I love Lancôme foundation and have never tried the stick so I am anxious to try it. Thanks Melissa- keep up with the videos and take care! P.S. Melissa could you possibly do a video on strapless bras? I see that you wear a lot of off the shoulder tops which look great on you. I bought a few from Amazon that you recommended, which I love, but I am having trouble finding the best overall and comfortable strapless bra to wear with my tops. Thank you!
I know that cream to powder from Merle Norman well! I worked for a Merle Norman studio for 4 years. That was the foundation I chose to wear for myself. I miss it. The stick from Lancome is the closest to it that I’ve tried. Mary Kay use to have one that was nice as well.
I too ❤️ a stick foundation. I bet the Merle Norman one was fabulous! I so want to try the Lancôme one. I really like the Tom Ford one, but it is crazy expensive.
Thank you Melissa! It is so nice to see you trying to find a DS version of a stick foundation that could come close to the Lancomb as with so many of us a budget is paramount and less expensive makeup now can REALLY help. Thank you for giving it a good try for us! 💄❤️
Hi Melissa, I’ve been wearing Lancôme mascara & eyeliner since I was 16, and have recently been wondering about their stick foundation.. I’m definitely going to try it now..so thanks xxx
Hi Melissa!!!! Haven't been doing much on Instagram lately, so nice to see your video!!! :*) I have not tried stick foundation!!! I love Lancome products!!! I hope you are feeling better, you are a ray of sunshine on you tube!!! xoxo Hugs and Blessings :*)
Hi Melissa, i hope you’re feeling better, you sound a little down and with the world the way it is I think we’re all struggling,so sending you love and hugs. I would love to see any work that you’ve been doing on your beautiful home. XxM
I think the Revlon covered better, but I'm a Lancome girl have been for along time. The only thing that i don't like about Lancome is the price, but i just can't seem to give it up. Great video Melissa, looking forward to seeing your home. Thanks again, have a great weekend!! 💕
Hey Melissa! Yes, it looks like the Maybelline disappeared almost by the end of your day. I agree, looks like Revlon held up better. I am curious what you will say about Wet & Wild stick foundation. I have that one. On me, it seems like it melts away by the end of the day. Maybe it won’t with you. And I like seeing parts of you house! I look forward to that video. Have a great week! 💕
Thank you for doing this video - I hope all is well with you. I think you are right, the Revlon side did hold up better. Plus it wasn't as "shiny". Please take care!
Your just a breath of fresh air love you Melissa! 😊🙏❤️ btw my favorite stick foundation that I’ve used for a few years and have back ups is the wet and wild focus 😊
I’ve been wearing the Lancôme stick foundation again. My skin is loving it right now and it works well with me wearing a mask all day. Thanks for sharing Melissa. 💖💖💖
Thank you Melissa. So glad you are flat out honest. Sometimes the high end is worth it. I tried that Fit Me one by Maybelline over a year ago and ended up returning it.
I totally agree with you on these 2 stick foundations...i was disappointed in their abilities too. I've wanted to try Younique's stick foundation but still so pricey
Hi Melissa I just love my Lancome Renergie lift foundation, I have been using it for over 8 years, I get my best color when I mix it with the Born This Way undetectable foundation. I have never tried a stick foundation, you look gorgeous even when not feeling well, take care Melissa! Sending love & hugs~Xx Karen💐🌸💐
Oh that sounds like a terrific foundation. I do like a lot of Lancome products. I've always had good luck with them. Thank you and you be safe! Love, Melissa
Of the few I have tried (not Lancome yet) Inglot was very good. I still go back to my Holy Grail mixture of EL Double Weat and Cover Girl Advan ced Radience. I shall treat myself to the Lancome stick this week as you are so impressed with it. I love these comparison type vids. Stay well. X.
Oh I do hope you like it!!! I’m always afraid people will hate what I talk about and then be upset with me!! Lol. Take care and stay safe my sweet friend 🤗🤗🤗
Oh Melissa bless your precious heart!! I think the Revlon looks good. You are such a stunning beauty even when you're not feeling well. I like this series idea and look forward to see!!
The Lancôme stock is my holy grail stick foundation too! I have had great luck with the L’Oréal Infallible. I do go heavier handed. I think the Revlon looks great on you! I’m sorry you had such a tough day. You’d never know by looking at you. I hope you are feeling better!! Looking forward to seeing the winner in this series!! Love, Dawn🍁❤️🍁
Oh I hear you on going heavier handed! I just like a fuller coverage, I guess. lol Aw thank you! It's just that one day of the infusion, then I'm feeling better than ever! Really is worth it. Take care! Love, Melissa
Enjoy your videos. Sad when they are over. Glad you mentioned your camera was being repaired as I could not see as clearly as usual. Have a peaceful weekend!
I really like the Lancome stick foundation but I agree about the price. I look forward to your comparison videos for a cheaper option. Try blending out with a beauty blender. Stick foundations are a great option for travel if you want to have one less liquid in the 3-1-1 bag.
Lord Ms Tennessee you look great bare skinned and all! I hope you are feeling better.Lancome is great and I have it too. You just take good care of yourself. There are sooooo many foundations out there it can make a grown woman cry😫 Thank you for all of your research and experimentation. You have the patience of a SAINT! 🙏🏼🙏🏼♥️♥️♥️♥️💕💕💕👯♀️👯♀️🥰🥰😘😘😘😘😘
Well i was thinking what are you wearing before the Test. Umm yep i can see why you like the more expensive one. I cant abide dragging. Im using one i got from Ebay. Not available in the US. Its bog standard foundation liquid. I start to take my foundation off oh shoot. I want a photo. I used Maybelline Baby skin primer, i actually remembered it that day lol. Its easier to apply foundation with this on. Revlon won for sure on your tests. You need to count swipes. I believe you swiped less with Revlon. Love to you xxx 💞❤💕🐕🐾🐾
Hi Melissa. I feel if you like the lancome and it does well for you and you're comfortable with it and all, I feel that you buy that even though that the drugstore ones are cheaper, hey it would be wonderful if you found one that you really really liked but if not it's not worth it just to keep swiping and wasting your money at 11 dollars a pop . We always have something we really like.. You're so pretty and I like your suggestions. Thank you. Enjoy your weekend... I have same skin, redness , sometimes not so red, and a little bit of scarring and bigger pores
Hope your feeling better gorgeous Melissa🌼!!! You did a great comparison of the 2!!! Definitely the Revlon won! Just looked very dry going on and didn’t blend with ease! Your gorgeous no matter what you use! I have the Lancôme I’ll probably use it in the winter! It was too creamy for summer use for me! Xoxo Have a beautiful week!! Hydrate and lots of nourishment and electrolytes for you ✅ xoxo🌼🌼🌼
I really want to try the Lancôme stick foundation, but I have oily t-zone and those pesky sebaceous hyperplasia (clogged pores). Just thinking that it may clog pores. Lancôme at Dillard’s having gift offer this Friday.
Oh Melissa, I so appreciate you and what you do for us all. I think the Revlon held up better. But ya know sometimes it's true, that we get what we pay for. There definitely are times when the higher investment is the way to go. You are beautiful with or without your foundation. You have a beauty that comes from within. Thankyou. Love you! ❤
You look gorgeous even when you’re not feeling good. When my Mother was in the hospital she was always told you look so good. They told her you don’t look sick. She’d be so mad because she felt they didn’t take her seriously. I told her to stop making up her face. She would use her powder, put lipstick on, fix her hair & use perfume. Didn’t matter how bad she felt. I was proud of her. Hope you’re feeling better. I know I’m very nervous about getting any tests done. I have those damned broken capillaries! I hate them. I wanted to get them taken care of a long time ago. Of course I put it off. I always thought I’d feel better & I’d be able to walk. No such luck. Just have to cover up with makeup. I don’t like full coverage. I like the Revlon stick foundation. I like the finish on your skin. Looks beautiful. Love you, Lucy
Aw bless your mother. But I got a kick out of her wondering why they didn’t think she was sick. Lol. Oh the broken capillaries! Don’t even get me started. Lol. Take care! Love ya!
It was above and beyond to test these products on infusion day, so thank you Melissa. I tried the maybelline stick years ago and at that time I was working a 12 hr. shift and by lunch it wore away. The Revlon looked like it did better, but your right about these not being as good as Lancome. Wow. your so good about saving your points at Sephora, I've only ever saved around 2000 and then used them up. Buy the Lancome honey!
Years ago my mom and I used Max Factor Pan Stick Foundation until we couldn't find any more. We loved it and I haven't thought to look for it again until now and I see that it's back. I use Estee Lauder but for the price difference I'm thinking a might just try a tube of it.
@Kathy Haynes I found the Pan Stick on Amazon in case you are looking for it. They changed the packaging but the product is still the same. I loved it way back when and still enjoy it now! It will always remain one of my favorites.
I must be really old because in 1970 I used the Max Factor Pan-Cake Makeup. It came in a flat, round pan and you applied it with a wet sponge. It gave beautiful coverage. I'll look for the Pan Stick foundation and give it a try. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for these videos, I am looking forward to seeing what drug store stick foundations is the closest to the Lancome. Hope you are feeling better...
Thanks for the fair comparison, Melissa. The Revlon definitely looked better at the end of the day than the Maybelline did. Did you mention the price of each, I can't remember? I really appreciate you reviewing less expensive products. I've only been focusing on eyes, brows, and forehead these days since mask-wearing is a social "thing." Wish I could find a lip color that wouldn't transfer so easily to masks...still working on that one! I hope you're feeling better today. Be well and have a great weekend!
Melissa , I love stick foundations, too! Love the Lancôme but it is pricey so I use it sparingly...have you tried Sheishido stick? It’s a more full coverage than Lancôme , but not bad! The one I really don’t like is the Bobbi Brown- too stiff and sticky and not as good color match...and I like the Revlon side better on you!!☺️💕
Hi Mellisa and thank you for sharing this series and I’m excited to stay tuned on your search for a compatible cheaper stick foundation !! The only one I have tried is the wet and wild and likes it so I’m curious on how it holds up for you ! I’m sorry you were not feeling good too !! Hugs and tc !!! ❤️xoxo
Melissa you mentioned you had an old house, maybe you can share some of the restoration projects and any tips or tricks you have learned through renovating, Thank you!
whatever eyeshadow you're wearing in this video is gorgeous on you! i think the revlon looks better on you right from the start. i've never had good luck with stick foundations, mostly drugstore types and one 'good' one. at my age i could use a foundation i'm sure, but i'm just used to and more comfortable in a tinted moisturizer.
Don't you hate it when they discontinue something! There was a stick I used to love by either ELF or WnW but I can't find it , so I can't wait to see your WnW stick video. You are so right that sometimes if you have to use more that it isn't a better deal. I think the Revlon held up better. Love you girl. ♥ Elle
Hi Sweetheart, you are absolutely right, its much harder to get a good stick foundation from the drugstore, than it is from High end ranges....I know they stopped doing CYO in the States, but they make a really nice one, other than that, I like the one from Bare Minerals.....Much love always..Bella xxxx🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁
Thx Melissa! Great video seeing as you weren’t feeling too well, really helpful.. revlon looked way better by the end if he day - totally agree. Take care, looking forward to the next one xx
Melissa I bought the Lancôme foundation today..you are right, it’s gorgeous! Thankyou so much! Just one question..I wanted to buy a ring light for filming makeup too, and am interested in maybe purchasing what you use. Please let me know the details, as I have no idea where to start, but trust what you’re using. Thankyou 🙏🌷🌷💕
I really like the Lancôme stick and mine is almost finished. I am scraping it out with a brush. We can’t get it here cause Ulta doesn’t deliver to Canada. So, I bought the revlon one. Not bad but not as good coverage. I will look at getting the L’Oreal one ne t time. Thanks so much for you down to earth attitude. Love it. Xx🙋🏼♀️🌻🇨🇦 suez
I like how easy the Maybelline went on but Revlon definitely had better coverage and better wear. I will have to try Lancôme but would like spf... does Lancôme have spf? Look forward to your home repairs😍
I think the stick foundations are very close in texture to the compact cream foundation. For many years I used the Bobby Brown Oil-Free compact cream (like stick) foundation. It was soooo good. I love Lancome in general. I haven't used their foundation is a long while due to cost but I still use the skin care.
I recently got a new foundation from the Balm. It’s actually a whipped foundation that came in a little pot. The name of it is Even Steven and I have only used it twice. It is definitely cream to powder and I didn’t realize what it was when I got it. I liked it better the 2nd time. Take care girlfriend, you take care of yourself. Love you.
It looked like the Revlon didn't "glide" on as well but it did look like it held up and covered much better than the Maybelline. I am curious about the Honest Beauty cream foundation! Have you tried that one, Melissa? Great video! 😘❤
So gorgeous even without makeup. I think the Revlon side held up better. Both give you a nice healthy glow. I'm sorry that you felt awful. Hoping you are feeling well today.
Lots of hugs and love to you, sweet Melissa❣💖💗♥️
I thank you so much. Yes I feel better now. It’s just that day that I have the infusion that I don’t feel well. After that I feel great. Many thanks.
@@Melissa55 you are the sweetest. Glad you are better. Hope you enjoy the rest of the weekend. We basically stay put!! Love you, sweetie. 🥰😘
I can't even fathom you being grumpy. You're just lovely, inside and out.
Lol. Oh girl my family would disagree. Lol. But thank you
The Revlon side looks so nice at the end of the long day you had. You are an angel, and I hope you are feeling better 💖
Thank you so much. I thought it looked better too. And I do feel better now thank you.♥️♥️♥️

You always brighten my day, love your smile. I liked the Revlon side better by the end of the day. I am glad you are feeling better.
Thanks Melissa for the video. I hope you are feeling better. You don’t deserve to be sick ❤️😘💕
Hi Beautiful Lady! I know you may have felt bad... but you always look great! I could see the breakdown of Maybeline... and the Revlon looked difficult to work with .. although you did great job. I have to say... I am using my points with Sephora...and I use my Lancome stick foundation a lot! I use my artis brush to smooth it on... I use 3 longer stripes and two small... and that’s plenty. I feel like for 33. It lasts well and is worth it.
Thank you for these comparisons. It really helps those of us wondering about other brands. I vote Lancome though. ☀️❤️
Friday night is my shot night for my biologic... I understand and I am not so much an early morning person as I was ... I need my coffee and to watch my dogs play when they go out...times have changed for me in that respect.🙄 but it’s ok... not a real big deal in the scheme of things. Love you!
The Revlon does look better. I like Lancome better too & I love Nars foundation stick the most for my skin type & tone but I have used Revlon when money was tight. Great video Melissa, I hope you are feeling better.
You might like CoverGirl Aqua Smoothers - it’s in a compact, but goes on like a stick foundation. It dries to a satin finish.
Hope you are feeling better Melissa;).🙏🙏🙏. I think the Revlon side definitely held up better. Never tried the Lancome stick foundation, but now that you said how wonderful it is, will have to try it. I find it's a hit or miss: I like some items from maybelline, some estee Lauder, etc. Right now I'm trying out elf. Pretty good for the price. Always good to see you!!! Have a great weekend ❤❤❤🤗🤗🤗👏👏👏

It glies on like butter and I blend it with a stiple brush even though it's so easy to blend with your fingers. I use it as a concealer, just add a bit of blusher/mascara and I'm done in 5 minutes! Sorry you had a tough day. Hope you're feeling better today xo
They really do have a wide range of colors and I like this one a lot. It's a great formula, too. It just looks nice on the face doesn't it? aw, thank you! Lots of love and thanks, Melissa
HI SWEET MELISSA!! YES, I have to agree the Revlon did hold up pretty after a long day . Thanks for sharing 😊
You are gorgeous and so easy to relate to. Love your videos your sense of humor and humility. We have so many things in common including GI issues. I love Lancôme foundation and have never tried the stick so I am anxious to try it. Thanks Melissa- keep up with the videos and take care!
P.S. Melissa could you possibly do a video on strapless bras? I see that you wear a lot of off the shoulder tops which look great on you. I bought a few from Amazon that you recommended, which I love, but I am having trouble finding the best overall and comfortable strapless bra to wear with my tops. Thank you!
I know that cream to powder from Merle Norman well! I worked for a Merle Norman studio for 4 years. That was the foundation I chose to wear for myself. I miss it. The stick from Lancome is the closest to it that I’ve tried. Mary Kay use to have one that was nice as well.
I too ❤️ a stick foundation. I bet the Merle Norman one was fabulous! I so want to try the Lancôme one. I really like the Tom Ford one, but it is crazy expensive.
Thank you Melissa! It is so nice to see you trying to find a DS version of a stick foundation that could come close to the Lancomb as with so many of us a budget is paramount and less expensive makeup now can REALLY help. Thank you for giving it a good try for us! 💄❤️
I am still on the lookout!!! And thank you so much for this. I appreciate it Carrie! Stay safe. Love, melissa
Hi Melissa, I’ve been wearing Lancôme mascara & eyeliner since I was 16, and have recently been wondering about their stick foundation.. I’m definitely going to try it now..so thanks xxx
You are in for a treat. I tell you they broke the mold when they made that foundation. LOL.
Melissa55 😊
Hi Melissa!!!! Haven't been doing much on Instagram lately, so nice to see your video!!! :*) I have not tried stick foundation!!! I love Lancome products!!! I hope you are feeling better, you are a ray of sunshine on you tube!!! xoxo Hugs and Blessings :*)
Hi Melissa, i hope you’re feeling better, you sound a little down and with the world the way it is I think we’re all struggling,so sending you love and hugs. I would love to see any work that you’ve been doing on your beautiful home. XxM
Thanks so much for doing these comparisons, sweet Melissa. 😊 Hope you are feeling better, xx
I love your down to Earth approach. Hope you are feeling better now after the infusion. Love from the U.K. xxxxxx
I think the Revlon covered better, but I'm a Lancome girl have been for along time. The only thing that i don't like about Lancome is the price, but i just can't seem to give it up. Great video Melissa, looking forward to seeing your home. Thanks again, have a great weekend!! 💕
Great demo on these stick foundations. I agree that the revlon looked better. Thanks for sharing my beautiful friend. Much love and blessings xoxo
Hey Melissa! Yes, it looks like the Maybelline disappeared almost by the end of your day. I agree, looks like Revlon held up better. I am curious what you will say about Wet & Wild stick foundation. I have that one. On me, it seems like it melts away by the end of the day. Maybe it won’t with you. And I like seeing parts of you house! I look forward to that video. Have a great week! 💕
It looks like the Revlon held up better but I loved the glow of the maybelline. Hugs and love Linda
Melissa, great comparison... the Revlon did hold up better. Look forward to more videos. Have a beautiful weekend. xoxo :)))))
Thank you for doing this video - I hope all is well with you. I think you are right, the Revlon side did hold up better. Plus it wasn't as "shiny". Please take care!
Your just a breath of fresh air love you Melissa! 😊🙏❤️ btw my favorite stick foundation that I’ve used for a few years and have back ups is the wet and wild focus 😊
I’ve been wearing the Lancôme stick foundation again. My skin is loving it right now and it works well with me wearing a mask all day. Thanks for sharing Melissa. 💖💖💖
Is it not just the best? I swear I will say it again and again, Lancome broke the mold when they created that one. Love you girl. Stay safe.
Thank you Melissa. So glad you are flat out honest. Sometimes the high end is worth it. I tried that Fit Me one by Maybelline over a year ago and ended up returning it.
Oh thank you. Yea it just didn’t work for me. I’ll find a use for it but it’s not my favorite. 🧡🧡🧡🧡
I totally agree with you on these 2 stick foundations...i was disappointed in their abilities too. I've wanted to try Younique's stick foundation but still so pricey
Hi Melissa I just love my Lancome Renergie lift foundation, I have been using it for over 8 years, I get my best color when I mix it with the Born This Way undetectable foundation. I have never tried a stick foundation, you look gorgeous even when not feeling well, take care Melissa! Sending love & hugs~Xx Karen💐🌸💐
Oh that sounds like a terrific foundation. I do like a lot of Lancome products. I've always had good luck with them. Thank you and you be safe! Love, Melissa
Of the few I have tried (not Lancome yet) Inglot was very good. I still go back to my Holy Grail mixture of EL Double Weat and Cover Girl Advan ced Radience. I shall treat myself to the Lancome stick this week as you are so impressed with it. I love these comparison type vids. Stay well. X.
Oh I do hope you like it!!! I’m always afraid people will hate what I talk about and then be upset with me!! Lol. Take care and stay safe my sweet friend 🤗🤗🤗
It's so good to see you. I hope you and Doug are taking good care of each other! Much love~
I loved this review Melissa! Love you to pieces name twin! You look gorgeous as always~
Oh Melissa bless your precious heart!! I think the Revlon looks good. You are such a stunning beauty even when you're not feeling well. I like this series idea and look forward to see!!
You are so kind, Carol Ann! It sure was a rough day, but so worth it! Many thanks! Love, Melissa
Would you do a tutorial showing us how you put your eye shadow on. Looks very nice! Thank you!
Hi Melissa, hope you feel better. You look beautiful without makeup , but I liked the Revlon side at the end of the day .
The Lancôme stock is my holy grail stick foundation too! I have had great luck with the L’Oréal Infallible. I do go heavier handed. I think the Revlon looks great on you! I’m sorry you had such a tough day. You’d never know by looking at you. I hope you are feeling better!! Looking forward to seeing the winner in this series!!
Love,
Dawn🍁❤️🍁
Oh I hear you on going heavier handed! I just like a fuller coverage, I guess. lol Aw thank you! It's just that one day of the infusion, then I'm feeling better than ever! Really is worth it. Take care! Love, Melissa
Melissa did you ever use the pan stick by max factor I used it off and on in the nineties don’t think they sale it anymore .
Looking forward to seeing the work you’ve done. I love your house and you can see all the love you have put into it.
Oh thank you Betty ♥️♥️♥️
Enjoy your videos. Sad when they are over. Glad you mentioned your camera was being repaired as I could not see as clearly as usual. Have a peaceful weekend!
I really like the Lancome stick foundation but I agree about the price. I look forward to your comparison videos for a cheaper option. Try blending out with a beauty blender. Stick foundations are a great option for travel if you want to have one less liquid in the 3-1-1 bag.
Lord Ms Tennessee you look great bare skinned and all!
I hope you are feeling better.Lancome is great and I have it too.
You just take good care of yourself.
There are sooooo many foundations out there it can make a grown woman cry😫
Thank you for all of your research and experimentation. You have the patience of a SAINT!
🙏🏼🙏🏼♥️♥️♥️♥️💕💕💕👯♀️👯♀️🥰🥰😘😘😘😘😘
You should have made a video of the foundation tests. We love knowing your opinion and look forward to hearing from you always, 💜
Hi Melissa! Thanks for doing and sharing the comparison of the two stick foundations. I hope that you are doing better. Blessings!
Well i was thinking what are you wearing before the Test. Umm yep i can see why you like the more expensive one. I cant abide dragging. Im using one i got from Ebay. Not available in the US. Its bog standard foundation liquid. I start to take my foundation off oh shoot. I want a photo. I used Maybelline Baby skin primer, i actually remembered it that day lol. Its easier to apply foundation with this on. Revlon won for sure on your tests. You need to count swipes. I believe you swiped less with Revlon. Love to you xxx 💞❤💕🐕🐾🐾
Hi Melissa. I feel if you like the lancome and it does well for you and you're comfortable with it and all, I feel that you buy that even though that the drugstore ones are cheaper, hey it would be wonderful if you found one that you really really liked but if not it's not worth it just to keep swiping and wasting your money at 11 dollars a pop . We always have something we really like.. You're so pretty and I like your suggestions. Thank you. Enjoy your weekend... I have same skin, redness , sometimes not so red, and a little bit of scarring and bigger pores
Thank you for doing this video Melissa and I wish you a restful and recuperative weekend. Blessings and good health to you🙏🏼🥰💕
Hope your feeling better gorgeous Melissa🌼!!! You did a great comparison of the 2!!! Definitely the Revlon won! Just looked very dry going on and didn’t blend with ease! Your gorgeous no matter what you use! I have the Lancôme I’ll probably use it in the winter! It was too creamy for summer use for me! Xoxo Have a beautiful week!! Hydrate and lots of nourishment and electrolytes for you ✅ xoxo🌼🌼🌼
You are a beautiful woman inside and outside!! I agree with you the Revlon side held up better.
I just remembered clinique has a stick foundation. It is a lighter formula than the Lancome but who know you might like it and it’s $28 I think.
I really want to try the Lancôme stick foundation, but I have oily t-zone and those pesky sebaceous hyperplasia (clogged pores). Just thinking that it may clog pores. Lancôme at Dillard’s having gift offer this Friday.
Oh Melissa, I so appreciate you and what you do for us all. I think the Revlon held up better. But ya know sometimes it's true, that we get what we pay for. There definitely are times when the higher investment is the way to go. You are beautiful with or without your foundation. You have a beauty that comes from within. Thankyou. Love you! ❤
You look gorgeous even when you’re not feeling good. When my Mother was in the hospital she was always told you look so good. They told her you don’t look sick. She’d be so mad because she felt they didn’t take her seriously. I told her to stop making up her face. She would use her powder, put lipstick on, fix her hair & use perfume. Didn’t matter how bad she felt. I was proud of her. Hope you’re feeling better. I know I’m very nervous about getting any tests done. I have those damned broken capillaries! I hate them. I wanted to get them taken care of a long time ago. Of course I put it off. I always thought I’d feel better & I’d be able to walk. No such luck. Just have to cover up with makeup. I don’t like full coverage. I like the Revlon stick foundation. I like the finish on your skin. Looks beautiful. Love you, Lucy
Aw bless your mother. But I got a kick out of her wondering why they didn’t think she was sick. Lol. Oh the broken capillaries! Don’t even get me started. Lol. Take care! Love ya!
The Lancome stick foundation is the best. Love IT. Love you're eyeshadow, can you do a GRWM on that eyelook please? Its beautiful!! 😍💋
Oh thank you. I sure will. It’s from born to run palette!!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️
@@Melissa55 i have that pallet 😍
It was above and beyond to test these products on infusion day, so thank you Melissa. I tried the maybelline stick years ago and at that time I was working a 12 hr. shift and by lunch it wore away. The Revlon looked like it did better, but your right about these not being as good as Lancome. Wow. your so good about saving your points at Sephora, I've only ever saved around 2000 and then used them up. Buy the Lancome honey!
I sure do appreciate it so very much. I do think they were both fine but sure not Lancôme!!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️
Years ago my mom and I used Max Factor Pan Stick Foundation until we couldn't find any more. We loved it and I haven't thought to look for it again until now and I see that it's back. I use Estee Lauder but for the price difference I'm thinking a might just try a tube of it.
@Kathy Haynes I found the Pan Stick on Amazon in case you are looking for it. They changed the packaging but the product is still the same. I loved it way back when and still enjoy it now! It will always remain one of my favorites.
Oh my goodness yes the pan stick! I loved that stuff. I did not know it was back. I may have to give it a try. Thanks for the heads up Kathy. Be safe!
I loved Max Factor Panstik too. I mainly used it to conceal a birthmark on my face, and it worked better than most concealers.
I use it.. Its freely available here in South Africa... Still a favourite.
I must be really old because in 1970 I used the Max Factor Pan-Cake Makeup. It came in a flat, round pan and you applied it with a wet sponge. It gave beautiful coverage. I'll look for the Pan Stick foundation and give it a try. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for these videos, I am looking forward to seeing what drug store stick foundations is the closest to the Lancome. Hope you are feeling better...
Thanks for the fair comparison, Melissa. The Revlon definitely looked better at the end of the day than the Maybelline did. Did you mention the price of each, I can't remember? I really appreciate you reviewing less expensive products. I've only been focusing on eyes, brows, and forehead these days since mask-wearing is a social "thing." Wish I could find a lip color that wouldn't transfer so easily to masks...still working on that one! I hope you're feeling better today. Be well and have a great weekend!
Hi Melissa I liked the Revlon on you the best. Hope you feel better soon.xx
Revlon looks nicer to me. I’m glad your harder day is over and I hope everything went well. I have never tried stick foundation, sounds interesting.
Melissa , I love stick foundations, too! Love the Lancôme but it is pricey so I use it sparingly...have you tried Sheishido stick? It’s a more full coverage than Lancôme , but not bad! The one I really don’t like is the Bobbi Brown- too stiff and sticky and not as good color match...and I like the Revlon side better on you!!☺️💕
I enjoy these comparison videos. I had a Wizard of Oz moment...did the screen switch to B&W for a second it was that just me? Lol 💕
Lolol it did. I was trying to be artsy!!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Hi Mellisa and thank you for sharing this series and I’m excited to stay tuned on your search for a compatible cheaper stick foundation !! The only one I have tried is the wet and wild and likes it so I’m curious on how it holds up for you ! I’m sorry you were not feeling good too !! Hugs and tc !!! ❤️xoxo
Melissa you mentioned you had an old house, maybe you can share some of the restoration projects and any tips or tricks you have learned through renovating, Thank you!
whatever eyeshadow you're wearing in this video is gorgeous on you! i think the revlon looks better on you right from the start. i've never had good luck with stick foundations, mostly drugstore types and one 'good' one. at my age i could use a foundation i'm sure, but i'm just used to and more comfortable in a tinted moisturizer.
As thank you. I think a tinted moisturizer is just a gorgeous look. I bet it looks really good on you. It gives skin such a pretty, natural glow 🤗🤗🤗
Beautiful as always. Love Kim💕
Hello my beautiful friend !
Thanks great video I’ve been looking for a stick foundation revlon looks good !
You are so so pretty Melissa !
Luv you !
I love lancome products & have for years. Great video my friend! Love you lots! ❤
Oh thank you Sandy. Aren’t they good products?
Turan Young hey. I hope you are well!!!
Hope you're feeling much better now. I really love these comparison videos that you do :)
Don't you hate it when they discontinue something! There was a stick I used to love by either ELF or WnW but I can't find it , so I can't wait to see your WnW stick video. You are so right that sometimes if you have to use more that it isn't a better deal. I think the Revlon held up better. Love you girl. ♥ Elle
I think the wrt n wild is nice! Really easy to apply. Still testing it but I like it so far. Take care and thank you for the Vox🤗🤗🤗🤗love, Melissa
Hi Sweetheart, you are absolutely right, its much harder to get a good stick foundation from the drugstore, than it is from High end ranges....I know they stopped doing CYO in the States, but they make a really nice one, other than that, I like the one from Bare Minerals.....Much love always..Bella xxxx🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁
You know I had heard that about the CYO. Thank you Bella. Sending you so much love ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Incredibly beautiful woman, and I can't believe she's 65; she looks beyond amazing ❤️❤️
Thx Melissa! Great video seeing as you weren’t feeling too well, really helpful.. revlon looked way better by the end if he day - totally agree. Take care, looking forward to the next one xx
Thank you very very much. I do think that the Revlon held up well. I still like the Lancome better but the Revlon was nice. Many thanks
I am soooooo happy to see your video. I have been looking for an alternative to Lancôme Stick Foundation.
Melissa I bought the Lancôme foundation today..you are right, it’s gorgeous! Thankyou so much! Just one question..I wanted to buy a ring light for filming makeup too, and am interested in maybe purchasing what you use. Please let me know the details, as I have no idea where to start, but trust what you’re using. Thankyou 🙏🌷🌷💕
This is going to be interesting for sure...I agree the Revlon was better here! Love you so much! xoxo
I really like the Lancôme stick and mine is almost finished. I am scraping it out with a brush. We can’t get it here cause Ulta doesn’t deliver to Canada. So, I bought the revlon one. Not bad but not as good coverage. I will look at getting the L’Oreal one ne t time. Thanks so much for you down to earth attitude. Love it. Xx🙋🏼♀️🌻🇨🇦 suez
lol, I do the scraping down to the last drop, too! At that price, I'm going to get every drop. lol. Be safe and take good care! I appreciate it! xox
I agree with everyone else...the Revlon side held up better. Dud you wear primer? Do you wear primer with Lancome? The earrings are cute!!
Have you tried Max factor Pan Stick? it's an old favourite and I believe Marilyn Monroe used it as well.
I like how easy the Maybelline went on but Revlon definitely had better coverage and better wear. I will have to try Lancôme but would like spf... does Lancôme have spf?
Look forward to your home repairs😍
I think the stick foundations are very close in texture to the compact cream foundation. For many years I used the Bobby Brown Oil-Free compact cream (like stick) foundation. It was soooo good. I love Lancome in general. I haven't used their foundation is a long while due to cost but I still use the skin care.
Oh that is true!! Did you ever try the one by Elizabeth Arden? It was really nice. I wonder if they still make it. Thank Jennifer!
I recently got a new foundation from the Balm. It’s actually a whipped foundation that came in a little pot. The name of it is Even Steven and I have only used it twice. It is definitely cream to powder and I didn’t realize what it was when I got it. I liked it better the 2nd time. Take care girlfriend, you take care of yourself. Love you.
Oh Sharon now this sounds interesting! I’m going to look it up! Thank you for the heads up. Love to you and have a good week 🤗🤗🤗thank you
It looked like the Revlon didn't "glide" on as well but it did look like it held up and covered much better than the Maybelline. I am curious about the Honest Beauty cream foundation! Have you tried that one, Melissa? Great video! 😘❤
