Thank you so much, Sharrell! This means so much to me. I'm not the most organized when I decide to film like other creators are which can cause me to questions myself sometimes. You're comment helps me have the confidence to keep going. Thank you!
Hello Julie, very pretty makeup, Grace Kelly's class with this hairstyle. You are always kind to your subscribers, you have a beautiful soul. Thank you for your video🥰🥰🥰
Thank you so much, Audrey!🥰 How are you enjoying your summer? We've been getting lots of storms here but they don't last long. Just long enough to make our grass beautiful. Do you celebrate fathers day in France? Our celebration is this weekend. My husband is golfing with my dad, son and my daughters partner while my mom, daughter and I go shopping. It's going to be a great day! (we're celebrating one day early) It's actually tomorrow.
@@JulieMeikle We here alternate between very good weather and storm, it's not that yet....but we're not going to complain, I'm absolutely not expecting the heatwave of last summer haha
Great video! I really appreciate the tip about using primer if it's a while since you applied your skincare. This explained my foundation not looking great yesterday. 😬 I had to cool down for a while first. 🤣 Fellow 52 year old. 😁
Hi Julie. I am so proud of E.L.F. They reflect your philosophy of supporting women! I went to their website and was blown away with thier products and their commitment to women!
@@crthompson822 umm, I hate to burst your bubble but you do realize that elf cosmetics is made in China, right?

Very pretty Julie. YAY,! Your house Sold. Now,comes the hard part: moving out and into your New Home. So exciting. Maybe do a live showing us around your land and new home? Just a thought. Don’t over do it.
It sold! We put it on the market on Friday and it sold on Wednesday.😃 Everything has happened so fast. Within 6 weeks we started looking, bought a home and sold. Crazy! I'm so excited and relieved it went so smoothly.
I filmed the home when we first saw it. I should post it. I also have the link to our home we're moving from. I want to share it because our agents are hilarious! They've sold three homes for us.
@@JulieMeikle Omg that is amazing fast. Congratulations now you won't have 2 houses if the old didn't sell.. 🥰 Yes it's so fast.. 🤭😀 It is such a great news. 🥰🌹
Julie, I’m going to have to pick this Elf makeup. It looks so pretty!!! I keep missing your lives. Going to have to start paying more attention to my TH-cam notifications ❤❤❤. This look was gorgeous ❤
Very pretty! I’m a retired hairdresser and makeup artist and love watching you young gals. I’m still learning, too! I just ordered this foundation for myself and can’t wait to use it. I’m a new subscriber and will be watching for your videos. ❤
Yay! We're the same, Patricia! Do you miss it? I miss working with women so much. I just posted a video of me doing my mother-in-laws makeup. She felt beautiful. I miss that feeling of knowing I helped someone feel good Where are you from?
@@JulieMeikle Hi!!! I’m in Arizona now, but lived and worked in California and Nevada! I do miss working with women and making them beautiful, especially for their wedding!
I didn’t notice that one darn freckle or any imperfections you mentioned. You look stunning! We are our own worst critics aren’t we..?! Thank you for all you share with us 💜💜
We are, Jenn. That monitor showed texture and discolouration that I can't see in my 10x's mirror. It's crazy. I should have taken a photo to show you what I was looking at. I changed the setting on it yesterday and I think I look a little more like myself. Goodness! Talk about playing with ones self confidence.🤣
My husband and I did hair for a long long time. We had our own salon in a hotel for years. When it went out we went to a spa, where I did hair and some make up. Brides made me nervous sometimes. You look so young. I love your hair like that. You never popped up on my feed before. I just bought the Elf 30 neutral and I really like it. I used to wear the more expensive brands but now that I dont work much ...I am more conscious of money and found some good drugstore make up.. All we see is beautiful fine skin ...no texture. Good luck with the moving ..I hope we never have to move. I can not imagine going through everything. Take care. ❤❤❤
That's a dream to have a business with your husband. You would both understand the ups and downs of working in the industry. We get the keys to our new home August 21st. I'm so excited. Brides made me nervous too. It wasn't the bride making me nervous, it was my horrible time management skills topped with the chaos that can happen with the bridal party and family coming in and out.
@@JulieMeikle We loved the business so much. We had the best clients. It is hard on the body though. Enjoy your new house and enjoy your hairstyling. I am sure your clients love you. I will subscribe. ♡♡♡
I can't believe how quickly you went from thinking about moving to then buying and selling. Good on you. I procrastinate for ever before I make a decision.
Right?! Linda, I told Dave I wanted to move and within two days we looked at a house. In just over two weeks we bought a home and by the end of 6 weeks we sold our home. It all happened so fast. I'm so excited to start fresh in our new home.🤗 I feel like when you start trusting your intuition you become more free. I listen to a man who says "Follow your excitement" That's your higher self guiding you in the direction you need to go. Try to silence the voices and follow your excitement. There's no wrong path but the exciting path will get you to where you want to be faster. 🤗
I have used the concealer and primer. That's it. I have a few Elf brushes and I like them. I would love to see what you recommend for skincare. I am 69 and I have dry to combination skin. I still have quite a bit of my Tarte foundations so I guess I need to use them before I try the Elf foundation. I hope it will work for me because it would be nice to have an inexpensive foundation that works with my complexion.
Can you tell me the foundations you're using now? I love Revlon Illuminance Skin Caring Foundation as well. The Elf has a thicker consistency compared to Revlon. Both are good. It just depends on the texture you're looking for.
@@JulieMeikle hi Julie I use a few different ones! Dermatology, La Roche posay anthilious tinted sunscreen and one that I purchased from my facialist. I’ll intermix sometimes if tint is too dark.
@@JulieMeikle one of favourites is La Roche posay anthelios tinted sunscreen and dermatology tinted sunscreen as well. I’ll intermix them sometimes too. Would like to try the biore one too.
HI Joanne! I always have products linked in my description box for you and I try to send you directly to the colour I've used in the video. The foundation that worked for me is 25N. Yeah, I just checked and the links will take you to the colour I used. Elf Soft Glam What colour are you in your other foundation formulas? That may help me help you. 🤗 Satin Foundation Elf Canada - sovrn.co/197jgkh ELF U.S. - bit.ly/3z9efwA
The 25 definitely looked more neutral to me as well… I have such a hard time finding true “neutral” colors anymore!!! They all run too peachy or yellow 😳😩
It is hard. The 25 worked perfectly. I used it again yesterday. Would you say you have a similar colour as me? The IT CC cream in light is neutral. MAC has great neutrals now. They didn't before but updated their colours. I have a few that work very well for my skin tone. YSL has some good neutrals. ....I'm thinking as I type. Let me see...What are you using now, Lynn? Tell me what you're using and in what colour. That will help me understand what to suggest.
@@JulieMeikle you’re too sweet Julie❤️ always taking time to respond to everyone’s comments… I’m loving quite a few atm… it’s quite early (only 5:30am) so I’ll get the shades and comment with actual numbers, names when the sun comes up❤️❤️
Hi Julie, Fellow Canadian here in Toronto.🇨🇦 Just found your channel. I have to say, you look 10 years younger than your age. Therefore I want to use whatever skin care you are using! 😁 Thanks for the review! I'm going to try it. 😊👍
Thank you, Robin! I hope our new neighbours are peaceful.🙏🏻 LOL. I'm so excited. We'll be. moving at the end of August. The people that bought our home are from the West Coast. They had two days to find a home and had to leave. I'm happy they found ours. I'm sure they must have kids so they'll be close to the schools and there are a ton of young kids on our street. My husband had a business meeting yesterday with a man who's uncle owns the house we bought. What a small world we live in. He has good memories in that house. I knew it felt good as soon as we walked in.🤗
🙏 For a quick and effortless sale! I'm not a primer person either but Elf has stepped up their game quite a bit. Half of my makeup shelf is Elf and I use their skin care as well. The absolute best primer I have tried thus far is Laura Mercier Blurring Fondant. Takes care of any texture issue beautifully! I'm not a dewy person either. At my age (57) I don't want to be shining bright light a dewy diamond 🤣💎 P.S. I'm all about budget friendly but I am willing to spend for a product that gives me flawless results. You look beautiful with your bun by the way 🤗
You wouldn't like it, Lisa. I would say a hard no for this one. Even I was a little shiny in my T-zone at the end of the day. You would maybe like the original Elf CC Cream. It has great coverage and a matte finish. Have you tried that one before?
I do not enjoy lavender and watermelon scents. Im allergic to watermelon and assiciate it with being violently sick. The shade 25 worked well for you. Huda beauty is nice, but I only purchase it from TJ Maxx.
🤢 That's awful. Honestly, I'm not a fan of watermelon and I'm not allergic. My son could eat the whole melon. It's never been my thing. I don't mind the smell though. We don't have TJ Maxx here. Our version of it would be Winners or Marshalls. Did you see she's come out with a scent free version of her powder? I wish I waited but it's ok.
Julie, you look fantastic. I’m so happy for you about the house. I don’t envy you having to move but it’s so exciting, totally worth it. I’m going to DM you from Instagram over the weekend. Sending love & best wishes xx
I'll look for your message over there. Yay! We're celebrating Fathers Day a day early today. The guys are going golfing and we're shopping. I may not see your message until tomorrow.
It really is, Gina. I get so lost in it that I can sit there for hours and not realize it. It's so much fun. Not for my poor back and bum though.😄 I'm a little stiff getting up after sitting that long.
I tried it and I agree, it looks good but I have found that on me it doesn’t las as long as they claim. After a couple of hours perhaps a bit longer it starts to flake off my face and I didn’t use that much of it to justify that. For a night out I guess it would be ok but if you want something that last a day, I wouldn’t go for this foundation.
@@JulieMeikle i use Renew gel from Avon but just before the foundation I use Clarins Beauty Flash balm as primer. Maybe they are not compatible, all I know is I started to feel my face a bit “grainy” after awhile and when I cleaned my face in the evening, there was not much left of the foundation.
@@yvasquez2449 Interesting. it may not be compatible. I had that happen with the TIRTIR foundation. I used a water cream the first time which was awful. The second time worked with Embrolyisse. Did it feel like "pilling". Have you heard that term before? What foundation do you typically wear?
@@JulieMeikle yes, I had a look at the mirror to check why my face was feeling grainy and I could see little flakes of the foundation coming off. I will try without the beauty balm and see if it helps. I noticed ELF has a primer as well, I may try that instead
Thanks for talking about the foundation but your look has eyeshadow and mascara too and you have not mentioned them … and have you added blush please ? Just it’s a whole look you have on I have dry skin so foundation review is great though thank you x
Good morning, Sarah. I did mention them but maybe I wasn't clear enough. I only used two eyeshadows for Valerie. One was by Jane Iredale and the other was from Makeup by Mario the Master Mattes Cool Neutrals. I forgot to press record when I applied her mascara.🤦♀️ I'm so sorry. It's the Lancôme Hypnose Doll Lash mascara. The wand is beautiful and I only used one coat. Here are the links for you, Sarah. I always try to provide Canadian and American links and give options to Ulta, Shoppers Drug Mart and Sephora so you can shop at your favourite store. Under the video you'll see "more....". This will drop a window down and show you all the products I used on all my videos but I'm always happy to share them directly to you here if you're having a hard time finding them.

It’s not your lighting it’s your shirt! You have a warm skin tone and the black shadows your face. Have you considered getting a House of Colour color analysis? You are beautiful. You just aren’t wearing your colors so the shirt is throwing you off. The makeup look is perfection though!
I would love to have my colours done. Honestly I haven't had time to look into it though. I know black isn't my best colour but I struggle with this because of my hair colour, freckles, redness in my skin. I want to keep the tops I wear fairly basic so it can be about the makeup and not what I'm wearing. I did sweaters from Banana Republic Factory Outlet the other day. I think they'll look better. When I move into my new home, I'll be filming in a different part of the house where I'll be cooler. I can't wait.
Hi Julie, Melanie here, I'm new 2ur channel and I simply adored ur warm & kind intro ! Congrats on selling ur home, we did that process not 2long ago and phew it's a lot of work. Any Hu u r just lovely and ur minimal amount of makup looks so flattering and natural like u didn't try so hard..I am a mature, oh heck a very mature 😅 retired Esthetician/Instructor Educator and and beauty College Principal from , makeup lover from Hawaii who now resides in Fl. I work p/t at ULTA for all the reasons u stated in ur intro, love people and making them see all their own goodness from the inside out. Can I make or ask that you zoom us in upon application once in a while so that we can see better how products set into the skin? Looking at you and ur gorgeous skin that looks so flawless while even bare is hard to imagine u have any texture at all Thank you for taking us on ur new journey! Ur new subscriber Much Aloha ❤elanie
Hi Melanie!! It's so nice to meet you! 😍 Thank you for taking the time to write. We're the same. I miss working with women in person. You can't beat the feeling of helping someone feel good about themselves. I can zoom in for sure. I'm working on a video now. I was hoping to get it up today but I've had company all week so it's made it impossible to finish editing. I'll try to zoom in some areas. I'm learning as I go. I wish I was more organized with my videos. I tend to sit down with very little planning. Thank you for subscribing, Melanie. Big BIG hugs!
Aww, no wonder you are so busy , u actually care and read ur comments. I have plenty of ur videos to catch up on so I can spread some warm Aloha support for you Oh and please don't feel the need n.the future 2 reply as so sweetly and graciously have unless I really need ur valuable expertise or just a virtual hug My Kids and grands are all in Hawaii. Anyway gonna stream u my next day off much Aloha 4u ❤elanie
You don't look like that on my screen 😊 you are beautiful as always 🌹 The foundation looks good on you, I'm surprised that it looks so good and fore that little price, yes elf do have some great brushes. we all have texture believe me i do 😂 I'm so happy that you are having " showing your house" it is positive that people want to see it. I hope fore the bedst fore you and your family. Don't stress abaut not being live, we know that a lot is happening at the moment, it's just life ❤ We are staying we like it here writh you. 😉 Big hugs from Denmark. 💝🌹🥰
Thank you, Stine! I'll have to take a photo of the screen I can see. It's not pretty.🤣 It's ok though. As long as it's all good on your end, I'm happy. I know I don't look that bad in real life. It's so strange. So we signed the papers today. It's sold. We'll be moving the week of August 21. I'm so excited.
@@JulieMeikle 😀👍 Waoo congratulations sweetheart that is great. I'm so happy fore you and your family that it is happening fast. 😀 It a happy change. Please don't stress about TH-cam, we rather have you happy then stressful. 🌹🥰💝
Thank you, Diane! No no, I'm only moving 25 minutes away. We're still in the Ottawa area but we'll be closer to my brother & sister-in-law (neice) and also a shorter drive to my parents house. It has more land so more space between neighbours and much more natural light through the whole home. Dave has his big garage that he's always wanted too. I'm so excited. I'll be the same distance to the mall as I am from here so it's not much of a change that way. We'll be moving at the end of August.
Thank you, Anna. No, we're only moving 25 minutes away. We'll be closer to my brother-in-law and his family and also a shorter drive to my Mom and Dad's house. We're still in the Ottawa area. I'm so excited!
Julie, you look beautiful no matter which makeup you use. I want so badly to try self tanner again but fear sun spots showing up more. You look even prettier with self tanner.
I love my self-tanner. I filmed a video the other day using the Makeup by Mario Bronzer and the Glow Recipe Bronzing drops to see if I could cheat my colour up without the self-tanner. I haven't had a chance to edit it yet. It's in the vertical format so looks a little different. I felt good when I was finished. I'll have to see what it looks like in my video. I'll hopefully get it up soon. We're celebrating fathers day early with my Mom and Dad. Dad, Dave, my son and my daughter's boyfriend are golfing while us girls go shopping.🤗 I need clothes desperately! Anyway, I'll hopefully be able to edit it tonight or tomorrow morning to get it up soon. My sun spots on my right side are my nemesis but I feel much better with colour.
I'm pretty sure the links below will take you directly to the colour I used. I purchased both 21N & 25N. I used 25N. ❤ Elf Canada - sovrn.co/197jgkh ELF U.S. - bit.ly/3z9efwA
You are absolutely gorgeous! I cannot believe you’re 52. When I saw the caption that said mature skin, then I saw your picture, I said to myself since when is being in their thirties mature skin! I never would have guessed your age.
@@JulieMeikle I have dry sensitive skin I use the Embroyolisse as a day moisturizer .I'm glad they introduced a fragrance free one. I wish they would introduce a body lotion aswell.
Hi Julie, The last move my hubby and I made was in 2022. We moved back to the Midwest from California! What an expensive & stressful project! Would not want to ever repeat that craziness, even though I am yearning to go back to CA! I can say though that I am convinced our marriage could probably withstand just about anything, based on that moving experiment! Oof! I am so happy that your house sold! You are halfway there now! Goody! Would love to see your new place once you are there and settled in! The foundation is lovely on you! It looks fresh and slightly dewy, which I shoot for in my own foundations. Elf really is releasing some fantastic products! I love that those who cannot afford prestige brands can come pretty close using some of Elf’s “dupe” products! I really like some of their brushes as well! I would love you to do a “live” declutter with us when the time is right for you. Enjoying your posts as usual, want your channel to grow & grow! I also love the group of ladies that tune in and follow you! Sending you positivity and high hopes for a successful move! 🌹👍🏽
Thank you so much, Cali! Moving that distance would be so much harder to deal with. What made you move from California to the Midwest? I'm sorry if you already told me. I may have asked this before. I moved so many times I've lost count. I started typing out my moves but I realized it would take me forever to tell you the stories. It's been fun reliving them in my head though. The stress my parents must have felt with each move. They're not comfortable with change. I love it. One day I'll share some stories on a livestream maybe.
@@JulieMeikle hey Julie! We were both born & raised in the MW and raised our children here as well. I LOVE the West Coast and planned to go to college there until I saw how much tuition was! I always told myself that when the time was right, I would live there. In 2018 we did move there after years of vacationing in CA and adoring the vibe and coastal living! After 6 years there, we moved back to enjoy family and grandkids! I still want to go back to stay but we will give it about five years here. The weather can be brutal & depressing in the MW!❄️❄️❄️🌧️🌧️🌧️🌬️🌬️🌬️
I won't buy any Huda make-up. I won't support that company. I agree with you on the watermelon. I love the fruit but really dislike the scent or flavor in products or candy. Congratulations on selling your home, I know that stress.
Thank you! We sold it so fast. It took less than a week to sell so I can't complain. Since I spend the time to declutter before we put it up for sale, I feel our move will go smoothly. I still have more to declutter but we're not moving until the end of August so I have time. I'm so excited to have a change.
We would love to see you pair our Soft Glam Satin Foundation with our Hydrating Camo Concealer next! 😍💕
Your warmth, positivity, and kindness flows from you and I so appreciate it. I always feel more uplifted when I watch your videos. 💖

I feel like when you start trusting your intuition you become more free. I listen to a man who says "Follow your excitement" That's your higher self guiding you in the direction you need to go. Try to silence the voices and follow your excitement. There's no wrong path but the exciting path will get you to where you want to be faster. 🤗
I have used the concealer and primer. That's it. I have a few Elf brushes and I like them. I would love to see what you recommend for skincare. I am 69 and I have dry to combination skin. I still have quite a bit of my Tarte foundations so I guess I need to use them before I try the Elf foundation. I hope it will work for me because it would be nice to have an inexpensive foundation that works with my complexion.
Can you tell me the foundations you're using now? I love Revlon Illuminance Skin Caring Foundation as well. The Elf has a thicker consistency compared to Revlon. Both are good. It just depends on the texture you're looking for.

Love the soft coverage! I normally only use tinted sunscreen but I’m tempted to try this. Fingers and toes crossed that you sell soon!
What tinted sunscreen do you use, Heidi? If I know the product I may be able to tell you the differences between the two.
@@JulieMeikle hi Julie I use a few different ones! Dermatology, La Roche posay anthilious tinted sunscreen and one that I purchased from my facialist. I’ll intermix sometimes if tint is too dark.
@@JulieMeikle one of favourites is La Roche posay anthelios tinted sunscreen and dermatology tinted sunscreen as well. I’ll intermix them sometimes too. Would like to try the biore one too.
I never test makeup on my hand, be ause its not the same shade as my face. Test that, put your hand to your face and you will see
You're right. My hands are never the same colour as my face. I put it on my hand so I could show you up close the difference in tones.🤗❤️
Hi Julie, I'm 60 and looking for a new foundation, if you don't mind could you please share with me the color you are using. Thank you❤
HI Joanne! I always have products linked in my description box for you and I try to send you directly to the colour I've used in the video. The foundation that worked for me is 25N.
Yeah, I just checked and the links will take you to the colour I used. Elf Soft Glam
What colour are you in your other foundation formulas? That may help me help you. 🤗

I have been waiting to try it..I justvdont know what color to use...I'm fair complected..& you are beautiful ❤
What colour are you in other brands, Sherry? Maybe I can help, and thank you!🤗
The 25 definitely looked more neutral to me as well… I have such a hard time finding true “neutral” colors anymore!!! They all run too peachy or yellow 😳😩
It is hard. The 25 worked perfectly. I used it again yesterday. Would you say you have a similar colour as me? The IT CC cream in light is neutral. MAC has great neutrals now. They didn't before but updated their colours. I have a few that work very well for my skin tone. YSL has some good neutrals. ....I'm thinking as I type. Let me see...What are you using now, Lynn? Tell me what you're using and in what colour. That will help me understand what to suggest.
@@JulieMeikle you’re too sweet Julie❤️ always taking time to respond to everyone’s comments… I’m loving quite a few atm… it’s quite early (only 5:30am) so I’ll get the shades and comment with actual numbers, names when the sun comes up❤️❤️
I like your attitude and I’m joining- Your warmth and caring shines out. Bravo! I feel safe here ❤
🥰 thank you! That's the best compliment I could ask for. Where are you from? Is your name Kat?
Hello Julie, you look so pretty! Congratulations!! I'm so happy for you and your family. 😊😊😊 stay safe n healthy ❤❤❤
Thank you, Cecilia! I hope you have a wonderful weekend!!
Greetings from Australia 🇦🇺 Just found your channel & happy to hit the subscribe button 🥰
Hi from Canada!!! I'm so happy you're here with me, Kylie!🤗
Hi Julie, Fellow Canadian here in Toronto.🇨🇦 Just found your channel. I have to say, you look 10 years younger than your age. Therefore I want to use whatever skin care you are using! 😁 Thanks for the review! I'm going to try it. 😊👍
Congrats on the sale of your home!!🎉
I'm gonna miss your neighbors fighting😅
I'm glad you did this foundation. I thought it looked great.
Thank you, Robin! I hope our new neighbours are peaceful.🙏🏻 LOL. I'm so excited. We'll be. moving at the end of August. The people that bought our home are from the West Coast. They had two days to find a home and had to leave. I'm happy they found ours. I'm sure they must have kids so they'll be close to the schools and there are a ton of young kids on our street.
My husband had a business meeting yesterday with a man who's uncle owns the house we bought. What a small world we live in. He has good memories in that house. I knew it felt good as soon as we walked in.🤗
@@JulieMeikle wow!! It was meant to be! Isn't that the universe talking to you? I have the chills.
🙏 For a quick and effortless sale! I'm not a primer person either but Elf has stepped up their game quite a bit. Half of my makeup shelf is Elf and I use their skin care as well. The absolute best primer I have tried thus far is Laura Mercier Blurring Fondant. Takes care of any texture issue beautifully! I'm not a dewy person either. At my age (57) I don't want to be shining bright light a dewy diamond 🤣💎 P.S. I'm all about budget friendly but I am willing to spend for a product that gives me flawless results. You look beautiful with your bun by the way 🤗
Looks great
Thank you, Heidi! Big hugs!🤗
does it have a sunscreen in foundation ?
Hi Connie, it doesn't have sunscreen.
Congratulations on selling your house ❤❤❤❤.
Thank you, Tina! I'm so excited!
Very nice looks. You are my color shade so I had just ordered the same foundation. Thank you for the review.
Thank you, Charlotte! I'm so happy it helps. I hope you like it and the match is perfect.🤗
Would you Ladies be so kind as to share the shade you used??❤
@@joannemadden7449 light number 25
Just found your channel..new sub here
Yay!! Thank you for subscribing. Is your name Julie? Where are you from?
Such a lovely look. What about for normal to oily skin?
You wouldn't like it, Lisa. I would say a hard no for this one. Even I was a little shiny in my T-zone at the end of the day. You would maybe like the original Elf CC Cream. It has great coverage and a matte finish. Have you tried that one before?
@@JulieMeikle no I haven’t. Hmmmm, I might!
I do not enjoy lavender and watermelon scents. Im allergic to watermelon and assiciate it with being violently sick.
The shade 25 worked well for you. Huda beauty is nice, but I only purchase it from TJ Maxx.
🤢 That's awful. Honestly, I'm not a fan of watermelon and I'm not allergic. My son could eat the whole melon. It's never been my thing. I don't mind the smell though.
We don't have TJ Maxx here. Our version of it would be Winners or Marshalls. Did you see she's come out with a scent free version of her powder? I wish I waited but it's ok.
Julie, you look fantastic. I’m so happy for you about the house. I don’t envy you having to move but it’s so exciting, totally worth it. I’m going to DM you from Instagram over the weekend. Sending love & best wishes xx
I'll look for your message over there. Yay! We're celebrating Fathers Day a day early today. The guys are going golfing and we're shopping. I may not see your message until tomorrow.
Art therapy with makeup. Love it!
It really is, Gina. I get so lost in it that I can sit there for hours and not realize it. It's so much fun. Not for my poor back and bum though.😄 I'm a little stiff getting up after sitting that long.
I tried it and I agree, it looks good but I have found that on me it doesn’t las as long as they claim. After a couple of hours perhaps a bit longer it starts to flake off my face and I didn’t use that much of it to justify that. For a night out I guess it would be ok but if you want something that last a day, I wouldn’t go for this foundation.
Good point. Thank you for sharing. I should do a wear test video. What did you use for moisturizer?
@@JulieMeikle i use Renew gel from Avon but just before the foundation I use Clarins Beauty Flash balm as primer. Maybe they are not compatible, all I know is I started to feel my face a bit “grainy” after awhile and when I cleaned my face in the evening, there was not much left of the foundation.
@@yvasquez2449 Interesting. it may not be compatible. I had that happen with the TIRTIR foundation. I used a water cream the first time which was awful. The second time worked with Embrolyisse.
Did it feel like "pilling". Have you heard that term before?
What foundation do you typically wear?
@@JulieMeikle yes, I had a look at the mirror to check why my face was feeling grainy and I could see little flakes of the foundation coming off. I will try without the beauty balm and see if it helps. I noticed ELF has a primer as well, I may try that instead
I found your channel this week and am really enjoying your content and your presentation. I am fair completed, too!
Hi Shell!!! Thank you for being here with me and taking the time to comment. Where are you from?
Thanks for talking about the foundation but your look has eyeshadow and mascara too and you have not mentioned them … and have you added blush please ? Just it’s a whole look you have on
I have dry skin so foundation review is great though thank you x
Good morning, Sarah. I did mention them but maybe I wasn't clear enough. I only used two eyeshadows for Valerie. One was by Jane Iredale and the other was from Makeup by Mario the Master Mattes Cool Neutrals.
I forgot to press record when I applied her mascara.🤦♀️ I'm so sorry. It's the Lancôme Hypnose Doll Lash mascara. The wand is beautiful and I only used one coat.
Here are the links for you, Sarah. I always try to provide Canadian and American links and give options to Ulta, Shoppers Drug Mart and Sephora so you can shop at your favourite store. Under the video you'll see "more....". This will drop a window down and show you all the products I used on all my videos but I'm always happy to share them directly to you here if you're having a hard time finding them. Let me know if you need more help.

😃 Thank you, Carla!!! I hope you had a wonderful weekend!
It’s not your lighting it’s your shirt! You have a warm skin tone and the black shadows your face. Have you considered getting a House of Colour color analysis? You are beautiful. You just aren’t wearing your colors so the shirt is throwing you off. The makeup look is perfection though!
I would love to have my colours done. Honestly I haven't had time to look into it though. I know black isn't my best colour but I struggle with this because of my hair colour, freckles, redness in my skin. I want to keep the tops I wear fairly basic so it can be about the makeup and not what I'm wearing. I did sweaters from Banana Republic Factory Outlet the other day. I think they'll look better. When I move into my new home, I'll be filming in a different part of the house where I'll be cooler. I can't wait.
You are beautiful inside and out ❤❤
🥰Thank you, Bambina. I love your name. Is this you're real name?
@@JulieMeikle it’s my nickname for my granddaughter! Thank you!! ❤️
Hi Julie,
Melanie here, I'm new 2ur channel and I simply adored ur warm & kind intro ! Congrats on selling ur home, we did that process not 2long ago and phew it's a lot of work. Any Hu u r just lovely and ur minimal amount of makup looks so flattering and natural like u didn't try so hard..I am a mature, oh heck a very mature 😅 retired Esthetician/Instructor Educator and and beauty College Principal from , makeup lover from Hawaii who now resides in Fl. I work p/t at ULTA for all the reasons u stated in ur intro, love people and making them see all their own goodness from the inside out. Can I make or ask that you zoom us in upon application once in a while so that we can see better how products set into the skin? Looking at you and ur gorgeous skin that looks so flawless while even bare is hard to imagine u have any texture at all
Thank you for taking us on ur new journey! Ur new subscriber
Much Aloha
❤elanie
Hi Melanie!! It's so nice to meet you! 😍 Thank you for taking the time to write.
We're the same. I miss working with women in person. You can't beat the feeling of helping someone feel good about themselves.
I can zoom in for sure. I'm working on a video now. I was hoping to get it up today but I've had company all week so it's made it impossible to finish editing. I'll try to zoom in some areas. I'm learning as I go. I wish I was more organized with my videos. I tend to sit down with very little planning.
Thank you for subscribing, Melanie. Big BIG hugs!
Aww, no wonder you are so busy , u actually care and read ur comments. I have plenty of ur videos to catch up on so I can spread some warm Aloha support for you
Oh and please don't feel the need n.the future 2 reply as so sweetly and graciously have unless I really need ur valuable expertise or just a virtual hug
My Kids and grands are all in Hawaii. Anyway gonna stream u my next day off much Aloha 4u
❤elanie
You don't look like that on my screen 😊 you are beautiful as always 🌹
The foundation looks good on you, I'm surprised that it looks so good and fore that little price, yes elf do have some great brushes.
we all have texture believe me i do 😂
I'm so happy that you are having " showing your house" it is positive that people want to see it.
I hope fore the bedst fore you and your family.
Don't stress abaut not being live, we know that a lot is happening at the moment, it's just life ❤
We are staying we like it here writh you. 😉
Big hugs from Denmark.
💝🌹🥰
Thank you, Stine! I'll have to take a photo of the screen I can see. It's not pretty.🤣 It's ok though. As long as it's all good on your end, I'm happy. I know I don't look that bad in real life. It's so strange.
So we signed the papers today. It's sold. We'll be moving the week of August 21. I'm so excited.
@@JulieMeikle
😀👍 Waoo congratulations sweetheart that is great.
I'm so happy fore you and your family that it is happening fast.
😀 It a happy change.
Please don't stress about TH-cam, we rather have you happy then stressful.
🌹🥰💝
Great video, are you leaving Canada?
Thank you, Diane! No no, I'm only moving 25 minutes away. We're still in the Ottawa area but we'll be closer to my brother & sister-in-law (neice) and also a shorter drive to my parents house. It has more land so more space between neighbours and much more natural light through the whole home. Dave has his big garage that he's always wanted too. I'm so excited. I'll be the same distance to the mall as I am from here so it's not much of a change that way. We'll be moving at the end of August.
@@JulieMeikle Awesome 🇨🇦
Congrat🎉 on selling your house. Are you moving back to the states?
Thank you, Anna. No, we're only moving 25 minutes away. We'll be closer to my brother-in-law and his family and also a shorter drive to my Mom and Dad's house. We're still in the Ottawa area. I'm so excited!
Julie, you look beautiful no matter which makeup you use. I want so badly to try self tanner again but fear sun spots showing up more. You look even prettier with self tanner.
I love my self-tanner. I filmed a video the other day using the Makeup by Mario Bronzer and the Glow Recipe Bronzing drops to see if I could cheat my colour up without the self-tanner. I haven't had a chance to edit it yet. It's in the vertical format so looks a little different. I felt good when I was finished. I'll have to see what it looks like in my video. I'll hopefully get it up soon. We're celebrating fathers day early with my Mom and Dad. Dad, Dave, my son and my daughter's boyfriend are golfing while us girls go shopping.🤗 I need clothes desperately!
Anyway, I'll hopefully be able to edit it tonight or tomorrow morning to get it up soon. My sun spots on my right side are my nemesis but I feel much better with colour.
@@JulieMeikle Thank you Julie, no rush I will wait patiently for that video.
Hi new subscriber
😍 Yay!!! Thank you!! Where are you from?
52?! I would have guessed ten years younger!
🥰 Thank you! Remember I have great lighting. I also love my botox.🤗 I always want to be transparent about that.
I love watermelon scent. Is it sticky?
I tiny tiny bit. Nothing crazy.
What color do u use with the Elf foundation?
I'm pretty sure the links below will take you directly to the colour I used. I purchased both 21N & 25N. I used 25N. ❤

You are absolutely gorgeous! I cannot believe you’re 52. When I saw the caption that said mature skin, then I saw your picture, I said to myself since when is being in their thirties mature skin! I never would have guessed your age.
Awe, thank you! Botox does wonders.😃 I always want to be upfront about that. I'm helping myself on this aging journey.
Congrats on selling your house 🎉
Thank you, Melinda! I'm so excited. We'll be moving at the end of August.🤗
I love the intro! I need to try that elf foundation
Thank you, Amanda!!! Have you posted here? I'm going to check you out.
How do you like the Embryolisse?
My skin loves it. It's not what I use daily but I could use it daily without an issue. How would you describe your skin type? What are you using now?
@@JulieMeikle I have dry sensitive skin I use the Embroyolisse as a day moisturizer .I'm glad they introduced a fragrance free one. I wish they would introduce a body lotion aswell.

Hi Julie, The last move my hubby and I made was in 2022. We moved back to the Midwest from California! What an expensive & stressful project! Would not want to ever repeat that craziness, even though I am yearning to go back to CA! I can say though that I am convinced our marriage could probably withstand just about anything, based on that moving experiment! Oof! I am so happy that your house sold! You are halfway there now! Goody! Would love to see your new place once you are there and settled in! The foundation is lovely on you! It looks fresh and slightly dewy, which I shoot for in my own foundations. Elf really is releasing some fantastic products! I love that those who cannot afford prestige brands can come pretty close using some of Elf’s “dupe” products! I really like some of their brushes as well! I would love you to do a “live” declutter with us when the time is right for you. Enjoying your posts as usual, want your channel to grow & grow! I also love the group of ladies that tune in and follow you! Sending you positivity and high hopes for a successful move! 🌹👍🏽
Thank you so much, Cali! Moving that distance would be so much harder to deal with. What made you move from California to the Midwest? I'm sorry if you already told me. I may have asked this before.
I moved so many times I've lost count. I started typing out my moves but I realized it would take me forever to tell you the stories. It's been fun reliving them in my head though. The stress my parents must have felt with each move. They're not comfortable with change. I love it.
One day I'll share some stories on a livestream maybe.
@@JulieMeikle hey Julie! We were both born & raised in the MW and raised our children here as well. I LOVE the West Coast and planned to go to college there until I saw how much tuition was! I always told myself that when the time was right, I would live there. In 2018 we did move there after years of vacationing in CA and adoring the vibe and coastal living! After 6 years there, we moved back to enjoy family and grandkids! I still want to go back to stay but we will give it about five years here. The weather can be brutal & depressing in the MW!❄️❄️❄️🌧️🌧️🌧️🌬️🌬️🌬️
I won't buy any Huda make-up. I won't support that company. I agree with you on the watermelon. I love the fruit but really dislike the scent or flavor in products or candy. Congratulations on selling your home, I know that stress.
Thank you! We sold it so fast. It took less than a week to sell so I can't complain. Since I spend the time to declutter before we put it up for sale, I feel our move will go smoothly. I still have more to declutter but we're not moving until the end of August so I have time. I'm so excited to have a change.
@@JulieMeiklecongrats!! Thank you for this review. I trust your opinion. Wishing you lots of happiness in your new home!!
@@ladylincoln6691 So I'll know if I shouldn't buy it either, why not Huda makeup
