Risa, you have every right to mourn your little baby that passed. You owe your audience no explanations or apologies. If sharing content brightens your soul , then we appreciate you doing so.❤
I am so sorry for your loss. They are our babies ... when I lost my Flatcoat Retriever I had to deliver a training course to brand new staff the very next morning. It was actually the best thing for me to do. It is just heartbreaking though ...
Your viewers really care about you, Risa. Jumping in to share love from AZ. I'm so sorry about Marnie. I wish for you that you eventually find solace in the memories you shared and the beautiful life you gave him. ❤
Oh honey , I'm so so sorry for your tremendous loss of your precious Marni... I understand .. it's heartbreaking... God bless your sweet Angel in beautiful Heaven . and bless you and your family's broken hearts...😢
Bless your heart! I am SO sorry for your loss sweetie. People say "It's just a dog" never had an adored pet that was their fur baby. You take however long you need to grieve for your fur baby! There IS NOT a rulebook on grief. Whether its for a fur baby or for a lost human in your life! Ugh. I have been through 2 losses this year 2 and a half months apart and ugh. I lost my sister in May and my mother-in-law the 1st of this month.. she was also my DEAR FRIEND. Grief fog is REAL. 🙏🙏🙏🙏 for you sweetness.
Risa, i never comment although I watch every single video. I am so sorry for your loss, I’m sending you hugs and now you have another angel watching over you. I have a 12 year old pom and just the thought of losing him absolutely destroys me. Thank you for sharing this with us and we love you so much. Hang in there my friend ❤
My son asked me, “mom you never really do your makeup, why do you watch her?”… he’s correct, I rarely do my makeup nowadays. I do still love to simply enjoy your company though Risa. I’m sorry for your loss, there’s never words that seem appropriate. Much love Risa ❤️❤️❤️
I am sorry for your loss… our fur babies are very special and a part of families. I appreciate you sharing this was a wonderful video. Take care and allow yourself as much time as you need. ❤❤❤
So sorry to hear about your loss Risa. Your little one will be forever in your heart. I understand how putting on makeup can be therapeutic but I also hope you take comfort in knowing you also brighten the days of many who watch your videos!
"Grief is the last act of love we give to our loved one. Where there is deep grief, there is great love. Grief is a great rite of passage. It is a hero's journey 9f courage, of sacred battles, sorrow, love, joy and loss. Through the darkness of grief we can see the light of love which transcends death." ~~ don't know who wrote that but I think it's lovely.
Oh Risa, I’m so sorry. My chihuahua passed away unexpectedly on June 22nd. She had long-term health problems but she had a cardiology check-up just 2 months prior and was stable and doing well. Her condition suddenly worsened out of the blue. I’m still so sad and I miss her so much. Big huge hugs.
Hi Risa - while I love this video (and your amazing content, always) I just had to comment that I'm sending love and light your way on the loss of your sweet Marnie. I have a feeling many of your subscriber "family" can relate to how you feel when our fur babies pass, myself included. Grief is indeed the price we pay for love. xo
Hi Risa, truly sorry for your loss. Sending lots of good vibes to your beloved Marnie- I feel you. It will get easier with time but the process is tough. On a more happy note, I absolutely love your work.
It is so so hard when we lose our doggies, at 75 I have lost 3 over the years and remember them all but there is always one special one in our lives. If I lost my current fur baby I just couldn’t cope they give us unconditional love, don’t judge us and just bring joy, remember the joy, and the crazy things they did, ❤ to you.
Risa, I have grown to appreciate you more and more. One of the things I pay particular attention to is how reviews are done on items “sent to”, or incentived in some way. I find myself strongly pulling away from those that have an inability to stay unbiased, or are simply too weak to actually say they don’t like something that someone “gifted” them. In addition, the amount of times social media is “buzzing” over how amazing an item is, that is actually mediocre at best, is significant, so please NEVER apologize for disagreeing with the herd. You are getting to be an increasingly rare breed. Thank you!
I'm so sorry for the passing of your previous Marnie. Thank you for rescuing her and she brought you and your family so much unconditional love. Grieving is a process - take your time.❤
I am so sorry for your loss of dear Marnie, Risa! I really like your phrase 'Grief is the price you pay for love'. I, too, had a dog that lived 17 years and I adopted her from the pound when she was 4 or 5. She enriched my life so much and her loss has put a hole in my heart. I hope your many memories of her help you with your grief. Remember the good times, my dear. Thank you for another of your informative videos trying new makeup. I appreciate that you try the products to help us with our decisions in makeup.
Risa, I lost my Shih Tzu siblings at 13 and 16 and I was completely gutted. I sobbed for days and took some time off as I couldn’t get through an hour without crying. It’s heart wrenching. After awhile I felt ready for a new family member and we have little Max, a tricolour. They are such an amazing breed! Allow yourself the time to grieve. Sending hugs ❤❤❤❤
Hey, you never need to apologize for mourning a fur baby. They are family to me (and to be honest, why have them if not 🤷🏼♀️) and you do whatever you need. I did this too when I lost a loved one. Work just kept me moving then I could process when I was ready. You are keeping me company on a day I am feeling very sick - even took the day off. So I enjoy spending the afternoon just talking makeup with my friend when sipping ginger ale. 💗
Risa- I’m so, so sorry about Marnie! I, too, have a shih tzu who is close to the end! They are a part of our family! Hang in there! Mourn however you need to mourn! You are the best!
I’m so sorry for the loss of your baby girl, Marnie. I know she gave so much love and joy to you each day. She’ll be waiting at the Rainbow Bridge for you, Risa, just like a puppy and pain free and whole. I pray you find some comfort in the coming days. 🥲💔💐
Oh, honey. I've cried and cried over every fur baby I've lost along the way. The love I've had for each baby is immeasurable, so I know how you surely feel...the pain will lessen and I'm sending healing prayers to you and your family. Still, you are beautiful even with tears in your eyes. :)
We all know that feeling.. Our dogs are with us for only part of our lives … but we are their whole life❤. Our dog passed away in August. He was 12 1/2. His picture is on the Buffet in my kitchen, and I look at him all the time. We know how you feel… It’s when you come home and you’re walking to the house just seems so quiet .. Ask yourself “did he know he was loved? “ . If you can answer yes to that question…. Then he has been loved his whole life. I want you to feel good about that . When you’re ready, get yourself a puppy and start a new chapter in your life as well as providing a puppy a lifetime of love❤
So sorry for your loss... there aren't words to convey my feelings. Our 4-legged family members are so very special for however long we are blessed to have them. I was so glad to see your reference to the Rainbow Bridge. That has always brought me comfort during the days following the loss of my pets. Marnie blessed your life, but take comfort that you brought her great joy & a love-filled life! Risa, sending you lots of love & hugs!!!
It is part of how YOU process your grief. Everyone expresses and experiences grief and recovery differently. I am so sorry for your loss. My heart breaks for you 😢
Bless you Risa. You were such a wonderful Mom to your rescue baby. I also have a rescue Shih Tzu and she is our baby. Mourning is totally needed when we say goodbye.
I feel for you girl, our babies don't stay with us long enough. My dachshund Rusty was 14 years old and recently passed away from heart trouble. I had adopted him from the dog shelter at 7 mos. and he had so many problems, but that little sucker bounced back every time! He was simply amazing. I still hear him, isn't that funny, and it warms my heart. It takes awhile to adjust, and please do what's good for you.❤❤
Aww Risa. I wish I could give you a big hug. Our fur babies are a huge part of our family and it’s devastating to say goodbye. Please rest in the knowledge that you loved her so much and gave her the best life. No need for apologies or explanations and I’m glad that makeup is therapy for you as it is for the majority of your Risa family. We all love you ❤
Risa, I am truly sorry for the loss of your beloved fur baby. They are such a beautiful part of our lives and it is heartbreaking when they are no longer with us. We appreciate all that you share with us and hope this brings you comfort. My heart and prayers are with you and your family.
Risa I just wanted to say my heart is grieving alongside of you over the loss of my sweet boy Archie. He passed a month ago and I'm still struggling without him. I've loved and lost many over the years but some are just harder. Sending you and your family virtual hugs.
Risa, a giant hug for you. I became a dog mama 4 years ago. My maltipoo just turned 13. He is like my own child. I will say a prayer for you that our Lord give you peace and warm your heart. ♥️
Oh Risa, I’m so so sorry for the loss of your precious baby. They are our children and the loss of them is as deep as the loss of any family member or friend. 😢😢. I’ve lost 2 of my babies over the last 2 years and I made shadow boxes of each of them and hang them in my room where I see them every day and talk to them every day. She will always be with you!! Huge hugs to you and your family. 🥰🥰
Risa, I just found your channel. I now know you are as beautiful inside as you are on the outside. I’m sorry for the loss of your pup. I know Marnie wouldn’t want you to be sad but to know you gave her exactly what all dogs want, love and a safe and happy home. I hope you find comfort in all the wonderful memories you and Marnie share. It’s never easy to say “goodbye” to the unconditional love, loyalty and friendship they give. Bless you.
Risa I am so so sorry about your baby! No one can tell you how or when to grieve or when is the best time to get another pup. I’m so happy to see that you rescued your fur baby! I’ve been involved in dog rescue my entire adult life and I have learned…one dog doesn’t replace another but they are all so special in their own way and they need us!!! Currently have 3 pit bulls and I wouldn’t trade any of them for the world. You are such a precious person Risa!! Sending you love and hugs!!!
I am sorry for your loss! We lost our beloved little Papillon last year. She was with us for over thirteen years. She was much loved and a daily delight. I always enjoy your videos and have learned so much from them.
Makeup therapy has helped me through so much so I understand completely.... some people write, some people make beautiful music, some paint or create, I use makeup... So sorry to hear about your baby. I don't even want to think about the day I will have to face when my baby girl Zoe, my princess kitty, will have to be let go...shes getting older and I am just hoping she will make it until my girls are ready to head to college because it will destroy them too... My heart is with you today. Prayers for comfort.
Surrounding you and your family with blessings as you grieve your fur baby. They are members of our families and love us unconditionally! Light, Love & Blessings today and in the days ahead.
I literally had tears in my eyes when you shared the loss of your precious little fur baby as I sat watching with my little yorkie of 15yrs that I’m saying goodbye to in the next couple days 😢 I totally get it, they become our family 😊 but on a different note, I totally agree that having to work sooo hard to get a foundation to work just isn’t one I’d continue to grab for either, too many beautiful choices these days for sure!! Bless your little one as rainbow bridge has gained another beautiful soul 🙏🏼🌈
Awwww, sending you love & hugs, Risa. When I lost my golden retriever many years ago, I was devastated. I find that I prefer to work and keep my mind occupied rather than have too much time on my hands to dwell and cry. Everyone has their own way of mourning, and you do whatever works for you, Risa. xoxo
I am literally feeling your pain as we also lost our beloved dog, Ginger, on Monday. We had her for 13 1/2 years and feel so blessed she was in our lives. Keeping you in my prayers as you grieve and nothing wrong with doing what makes you happy and is therapeutic for you! God bless
I'm so, so sorry to hear about the loss of your beloved dog. Dogs are truly angels sent to us in the form of four-legged companions. Much love and healing energy to you and your broken heart. ❤
Sending prayers of comfort for your baby. We had a beloved Shih Tzu who passed at 17. So I completely understand. The Shih Tzu breed are such special babies!!
Risa, I am so so sorry for your loss. I lost my sweet little Yorkie (who was 14) almost 10 months ago. I still miss her every day. Sending you so much love and peace during this difficult time. ❤️❤️❤️
So sorry for your loss, Risa! Fur babies are family and it always hurts so much to lose them. They leave such a lasting imprint on our hearts 🐾. I’m sending prayers of comfort to you and your family during this time 🙏❤
Thanks for working through your grief. Anyone who has lost a loved one (human or furry) knows that the sadness will ebb and flow but the love and memories will never fade. Loved this video and sending you love and hugs through the Universe
Oh Risa…losing our best friend/baby/our everything (that’s what our fur babies are to us)is simply devastating, and when you teared up, so did I, for YOU. Most of us know that void you’re feeling, but it will get better every day - it may take a while, but it will happen. Hang in there Risa! ❤❤
Oh Risa 😢 I am so so sorry for the loss of your beloved dog. I am also a shih tzu mommy 🥰 I cried for a week straight after the loss of our dog who was 9 years old. We have another shih tzu now ❤️ kudos to you for being strong ❤ much love from the UK xxx
Oh darling. This is a loss like no other and I am terribly sorry about your sweet little girl. Just know that she waits for you at the Bridge. To her it’s just an eye blink until you are together forever. Because of you, she had the most wonderful years, better than she ever dreamed. Please do whatever you need to do and try not to be bothered by the noise. Only you can feel your feelings and honour your precious baby girl. Also you will open your heart again someday because of the love you have for each other. Thank you for your fun and informative videos; I have learned quite a lot. Much love, Joy & the Good Shepherds ❤
I’m so sorry for your family’s loss. Our fur babies are part of our families and the loss is deeply personal and pain is real. Sending hugs and prayers to you and your family. You are such a bright light in all of your viewers lives.🙏🌹
I am so sorry for your loss. Amazing how those sweet faces become family. We lost our spoiled but very loved Cockapoo in March and to be honest, we are still grieving. Take all the time you need! You owe no one an explanation! Much love and sympathy to you and your family. ❤
I can empathize with your pain. I lost my soul mate, Delilah, from kidney failure on January 12th, 2022. It's been a year and a half, and I still mourn her daily. It does get better, never easier. The first few months I was so exhausted from being sad, I just wanted to be happy again. I watched a lot of videos from people who speak to pets that have passed over. I knows it sounds ridiculous to some people, but it brought me comfort. Lots of love and peace to you, Risa. I pray your heart finds some peace and comfort. ❤
So sorry for your loss of your fur baby. I lost my dog Bella about a month ago. I never went anywhere without her. I miss her every minute of every day and it doesn’t get easier. Hugs to you ❤
Risa I am so sorry to here about your baby passing. You have every right to mourn. She was part of your family. I just lost my sweet Bella and I still miss her everyday. Thank you for all of your makeup 💄 tutorials. You always look so beautiful.
Awe I'm so sorry for your loss of your sweet furbaby. I've been there numerous times. They are an extension of our family. You just show how real you are by sharing this with us. I've found whether I've lost a furbaby or other loved ones, it's best for me to get back to work because it's easy to go to a darker place. I know both my mom and dad as well as other family members that passed, would want me to continue living my life while still carrying their memory in my heart. Your tutorials are amazing! Thanks for your wonderful content! I'm 51 years old almost 52 and your tutorials have been the most informative for me. Thank you for that!
Thanks for sharing. I lost our Shih Tzu Abby last year after 17 years. We were asked to rescue another one Gigi who looks exactly look like your fur baby! She has been a joy even though I didn’t initially want her! I didn’t think I was ready but she filled that loss beautifully!
Risa, I started watching you a few weeks ago. I just love your videos. I'm a 66 yr old and live in Cincinnati. My heart just hurts for you, and I cried with you over your loss. I'm glad you have make up therapy to help you through this time. I will be keeping you in prayer.
Risa I'm so very sorry that you lost your beautiful pup. Our fur babies are part of our family and it's a true and devastating loss. Handle it the best way for you. I love your videos I'm almost 68 probably a bit old by some peoples standards for makeup but I just love it. We never get over losing our little furry friends but it will get easier ❤
I am so sorry to hear about your sweet baby passing. I do understand the hurt that must fill your heart as I have had 2 cats that were with me for 12 plus years pass away in the not so distant past. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your husband. You are a truly amazing talent and I look forward to all your uploads, Risa. Keep your chin up sweet lady and time will eventually help with healing your broken heart. Take care.......
So sorry for your loss and your profound realization that playing with makeup is your happy place ...and where you need to spend your time right now. God Bless you through this difficult time.❤
I understand your heartbreak. You will carry Marnie in your 💖 forever and miss her unconditional love. I’m happy you had such a wonderful fur baby. Take care Risa.
I’m so sorry for your loss Risa, I was crying with you. Our pets are most definitely a member of our families and it hurts deeply. Take your time morn her loss ❤️🩹
Oh Risa, I am sorry 😢 to hear of your beloved pet loss. Virtual hugs 🤗 to you. Your in my thoughts. 18 years ago this Saturday the 23rd we lost our beloved Westie. She was my grandparents dog and after my Grandma passed in 2002. We inherited her. At that time she was already 14 yrs. We had her another 3.5 years. 17.5 years our beloved Westie was here on earth. She blew all the life expectations out of the water. You look beautiful Risa! Thank uou for your Honesty on the foundation!! That Clean Topia Mascara didn't do a thing for me except make a clumpy mess of Mt eyes and the brush is to big.
Risa, I am so very sorry for your loss, the loss of a pet is the loss of a beloved family member…sending you love and big hugs of comfort 🤗💕 may your baby rest in peace 🙏🏻❤️
My heart goes out to you, Risa. I've been through exactly the same with Vincent, my 18 years old cat who was with me since he was a kitten. I feel for you and send a virtual but loving hug. And of course we understand why you need to go back to work! ❤ If I were half as good as you at makeup, i would find it therapeutic too. My thing is skincare, but you're the only TH-camr who has actually taught me something about applying makeup, and for that thank you! ❤❤❤❤
Risa, so sorry you lost your furbaby. Give yourself some grace and do what you need to do whether it's doing your TH-cam thing or choosing not to. We're here for you.❤
I’m so sorry that your fur baby passed. They do become your family. Thank you for letting us know. God bless you and your family. Love your videos. You are so beautiful. ❤🙏🏻
Wish more people said the thing about color matching!! So many times I get matched to either the tannest part (forehead), my chin hyperpigmentation or my dark circles, which all make the overall face seem deeper. The proper match is the palest part of my face (usually cheek) that matches my chest.
Risa i am so very sorry about the lost of your lovely dog. Our pets mean so much to us so i totally understand your lost. I actually think we will see our pets again , plus think of the lovely home and care you gave her in this life.
Risa, you have every right to mourn your little baby that passed. You owe your audience no explanations or apologies. If sharing content brightens your soul , then we appreciate you doing so.❤
I am so sorry for your loss. They are our babies ... when I lost my Flatcoat Retriever I had to deliver a training course to brand new staff the very next morning. It was actually the best thing for me to do. It is just heartbreaking though ...
I’m so sorry Risa. Sending a hug and good thoughts your way ❤Elle
So very sorry for your loss, Risa. We love you and are here for you. ❤
Yes! This!

Bless your heart! I am SO sorry for your loss sweetie. People say "It's just a dog" never had an adored pet that was their fur baby. You take however long you need to grieve for your fur baby! There IS NOT a rulebook on grief. Whether its for a fur baby or for a lost human in your life! Ugh. I have been through 2 losses this year 2 and a half months apart and ugh.

Big hugs for your loss of Marnie. Shih Tzus are pure love.
My son asked me, “mom you never really do your makeup, why do you watch her?”… he’s correct, I rarely do my makeup nowadays. I do still love to simply enjoy your company though Risa.
I’m sorry for your loss, there’s never words that seem appropriate. Much love Risa ❤️❤️❤️
Lol do your makeup 😊
I know lol I work from home and am doing good if I put on pants every day 😂😂😂
I am sorry for your loss… our fur babies are very special and a part of families. I appreciate you sharing this was a wonderful video. Take care and allow yourself as much time as you need. ❤❤❤

Thank you for sharing. That is beautiful. 💗🙏🏻
Sorry to hear about the loss of Marnie. It takes time to come back so take your time mourning. 😢
It's a lovely fall look. Thanks, Risa. Sorry for your loss. Losing a beloved pet and member of the pack is like losing a beloved human. Been there!
Oh Risa, I’m so sorry. My chihuahua passed away unexpectedly on June 22nd. She had long-term health problems but she had a cardiology check-up just 2 months prior and was stable and doing well. Her condition suddenly worsened out of the blue. I’m still so sad and I miss her so much. Big huge hugs.

Girl, grieve however you need to. The price we pay for letting these little critters into our hearts. Sorry for your loss, Risa.
But oh so worth that price.
We come out much richer than we were when we went in.
Hi Risa, truly sorry for your loss. Sending lots of good vibes to your beloved Marnie- I feel you. It will get easier with time but the process is tough. On a more happy note, I absolutely love your work.

im so sorry for your loss. you don't have to be lighthearted, keep it real. your feelings are your own, and they're valid.
our pets are a blessing.
We all know that feeling..
Our dogs are with us for only part of our lives … but we are their whole life❤.
Our dog passed away in August. He was 12 1/2. His picture is on the Buffet in my kitchen, and I look at him all the time.
We know how you feel… It’s when you come home and you’re walking to the house just seems so quiet ..
Ask yourself “did he know he was loved? “ . If you can answer yes to that question…. Then he has been loved his whole life.
I want you to feel good about that .

I'm so sorry for your loss. Fur babies are so special and morning the loss through glamour is a great way to sooth your aching heart. 😪
It is part of how YOU process your grief. Everyone expresses and experiences grief and recovery differently. I am so sorry for your loss. My heart breaks for you 😢
Bless you Risa. You were such a wonderful Mom to your rescue baby. I also have a rescue Shih Tzu and she is our baby. Mourning is totally needed when we say goodbye.

Aww Risa. I wish I could give you a big hug. Our fur babies are a huge part of our family and it’s devastating to say goodbye. Please rest in the knowledge that you loved her so much and gave her the best life. No need for apologies or explanations and I’m glad that makeup is therapy for you as it is for the majority of your Risa family. We all love you ❤
Risa, I am truly sorry for the loss of your beloved fur baby. They are such a beautiful part of our lives and it is heartbreaking when they are no longer with us. We appreciate all that you share with us and hope this brings you comfort. My heart and prayers are with you and your family.
Risa I just wanted to say my heart is grieving alongside of you over the loss of my sweet boy Archie. He passed a month ago and I'm still struggling without him. I've loved and lost many over the years but some are just harder. Sending you and your family virtual hugs.
Risa, a giant hug for you. I became a dog mama 4 years ago. My maltipoo just turned 13. He is like my own child. I will say a prayer for you that our Lord give you peace and warm your heart. ♥️
Oh Risa, I’m so so sorry for the loss of your precious baby. They are our children and the loss of them is as deep as the loss of any family member or friend. 😢😢. I’ve lost 2 of my babies over the last 2 years and I made shadow boxes of each of them and hang them in my room where I see them every day and talk to them every day. She will always be with you!! Huge hugs to you and your family. 🥰🥰
Risa, I just found your channel. I now know you are as beautiful inside as you are on the outside. I’m sorry for the loss of your pup. I know Marnie wouldn’t want you to be sad but to know you gave her exactly what all dogs want, love and a safe and happy home. I hope you find comfort in all the wonderful memories you and Marnie share. It’s never easy to say “goodbye” to the unconditional love, loyalty and friendship they give. Bless you.
I’m so sorry for your loss. Having had to say goodbye to 4 dogs and 2 cats in my lifetime it never gets easier. They are family
❤
Risa I am so so sorry about your baby! No one can tell you how or when to grieve or when is the best time to get another pup. I’m so happy to see that you rescued your fur baby! I’ve been involved in dog rescue my entire adult life and I have learned…one dog doesn’t replace another but they are all so special in their own way and they need us!!! Currently have 3 pit bulls and I wouldn’t trade any of them for the world. You are such a precious person Risa!! Sending you love and hugs!!!
I too lost a beloved shih tzu and know exactly how you feel. They often are like members of our family & it takes time to grieve.❤❤❤❤
I am sorry for your loss! We lost our beloved little Papillon last year. She was with us for over thirteen years. She was much loved and a daily delight. I always enjoy your videos and have learned so much from them.
Makeup therapy has helped me through so much so I understand completely.... some people write, some people make beautiful music, some paint or create, I use makeup...
So sorry to hear about your baby. I don't even want to think about the day I will have to face when my baby girl Zoe, my princess kitty, will have to be let go...shes getting older and I am just hoping she will make it until my girls are ready to head to college because it will destroy them too...
My heart is with you today. Prayers for comfort.
Surrounding you and your family with blessings as you grieve your fur baby. They are members of our families and love us unconditionally! Light, Love & Blessings today and in the days ahead.
I literally had tears in my eyes when you shared the loss of your precious little fur baby as I sat watching with my little yorkie of 15yrs that I’m saying goodbye to in the next couple days 😢 I totally get it, they become our family 😊 but on a different note, I totally agree that having to work sooo hard to get a foundation to work just isn’t one I’d continue to grab for either, too many beautiful choices these days for sure!! Bless your little one as rainbow bridge has gained another beautiful soul 🙏🏼🌈
Awwww, sending you love & hugs, Risa. When I lost my golden retriever many years ago, I was devastated. I find that I prefer to work and keep my mind occupied rather than have too much time on my hands to dwell and cry. Everyone has their own way of mourning, and you do whatever works for you, Risa. xoxo
I am literally feeling your pain as we also lost our beloved dog, Ginger, on Monday. We had her for 13 1/2 years and feel so blessed she was in our lives. Keeping you in my prayers as you grieve and nothing wrong with doing what makes you happy and is therapeutic for you! God bless
I'm so sorry you lost your furbaby. Thanks for making this video for us. I always enjoy your videos.
I'm so, so sorry to hear about the loss of your beloved dog. Dogs are truly angels sent to us in the form of four-legged companions. Much love and healing energy to you and your broken heart. ❤
Sending prayers of comfort for your baby. We had a beloved Shih Tzu who passed at 17. So I completely understand. The Shih Tzu breed are such special babies!!
Risa, I am so so sorry for your loss. I lost my sweet little Yorkie (who was 14) almost 10 months ago. I still miss her every day. Sending you so much love and peace during this difficult time. ❤️❤️❤️
So sorry for your loss, Risa! Fur babies are family and it always hurts so much to lose them. They leave such a lasting imprint on our hearts 🐾. I’m sending prayers of comfort to you and your family during this time 🙏❤
Thanks for working through your grief. Anyone who has lost a loved one (human or furry) knows that the sadness will ebb and flow but the love and memories will never fade. Loved this video and sending you love and hugs through the Universe
So sorry for your loss ! It is so painful when a fur friend leaves. RIP sweet Marnie 🌟
Oh Risa…losing our best friend/baby/our everything (that’s what our fur babies are to us)is simply devastating, and when you teared up, so did I, for YOU. Most of us know that void you’re feeling, but it will get better every day - it may take a while, but it will happen. Hang in there Risa! ❤❤
Oh Risa 😢 I am so so sorry for the loss of your beloved dog. I am also a shih tzu mommy 🥰 I cried for a week straight after the loss of our dog who was 9 years old. We have another shih tzu now ❤️ kudos to you for being strong ❤ much love from the UK xxx
Oh darling. This is a loss like no other and I am terribly sorry about your sweet little girl.
Just know that she waits for you at the Bridge. To her it’s just an eye blink until you are together forever.
Because of you, she had the most wonderful years, better than she ever dreamed.
Please do whatever you need to do and try not to be bothered by the noise. Only you can feel your feelings and honour your precious baby girl.
Also you will open your heart again someday because of the love you have for each other.
Thank you for your fun and informative videos; I have learned quite a lot.
Much love,
Joy & the Good Shepherds ❤
I am so sorry for your loss, it is never easy losing a member of the family. 🐾🌈❤
Oh Risa, I’m so sorry for your loss. Pets are family and it’s so tough to lose them
I’m so sorry for your family’s loss. Our fur babies are part of our families and the loss is deeply personal and pain is real. Sending hugs and prayers to you and your family. You are such a bright light in all of your viewers lives.🙏🌹
I'm so, so sorry for your loss ❤ Psalm 34:18 has helped me so much when going through loss.
I am so sorry for your loss. Amazing how those sweet faces become family. We lost our spoiled but very loved Cockapoo in March and to be honest, we are still grieving. Take all the time you need! You owe no one an explanation! Much love and sympathy to you and your family. ❤
grieving is different for everyone. you do whatever helps you get through it. no explanations needed. ❤
I am very sorry for your lost😢😢. Thank you for sharing us! There is nothing we can do, but you have sweet memories!😢😢
I am so sorry for your loss! I don’t do Instagram so thank you for sharing!! My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family!!!
Our Furbabies are family members and grief is so hard . Prayers for you and your family. ❤
I can empathize with your pain. I lost my soul mate, Delilah, from kidney failure on January 12th, 2022. It's been a year and a half, and I still mourn her daily. It does get better, never easier. The first few months I was so exhausted from being sad, I just wanted to be happy again. I watched a lot of videos from people who speak to pets that have passed over. I knows it sounds ridiculous to some people, but it brought me comfort. Lots of love and peace to you, Risa. I pray your heart finds some peace and comfort. ❤
So sorry for your loss of your fur baby. I lost my dog Bella about a month ago. I never went anywhere without her. I miss her every minute of every day and it doesn’t get easier. Hugs to you ❤
Risa I am so sorry to here about your baby passing. You have every right to mourn. She was part of your family. I just lost my sweet Bella and I still miss her everyday. Thank you for all of your makeup 💄 tutorials. You always look so beautiful.
Oh my goodness, I’m truly so very sorry for the loss of your fur baby, she looks so sweet. 😢
Awe I'm so sorry for your loss of your sweet furbaby. I've been there numerous times. They are an extension of our family. You just show how real you are by sharing this with us. I've found whether I've lost a furbaby or other loved ones, it's best for me to get back to work because it's easy to go to a darker place. I know both my mom and dad as well as other family members that passed, would want me to continue living my life while still carrying their memory in my heart. Your tutorials are amazing! Thanks for your wonderful content! I'm 51 years old almost 52 and your tutorials have been the most informative for me. Thank you for that!
Thanks for sharing. I lost our Shih Tzu Abby last year after 17 years. We were asked to rescue another one Gigi who looks exactly look like your fur baby! She has been a joy even though I didn’t initially want her! I didn’t think I was ready but she filled that loss beautifully!
Bless you, Risa. So sorry for your loss. They become members of the family. Your makeup is a hit!
Risa, I started watching you a few weeks ago. I just love your videos. I'm a 66 yr old and live in Cincinnati.
My heart just hurts for you, and I cried with you over your loss. I'm glad you have make up therapy to help you through this time. I will be keeping you in prayer.
Risa I'm so very sorry that you lost your beautiful pup. Our fur babies are part of our family and it's a true and devastating loss. Handle it the best way for you. I love your videos I'm almost 68 probably a bit old by some peoples standards for makeup but I just love it. We never get over losing our little furry friends but it will get easier ❤
I am so sorry to hear about your sweet baby passing. I do understand the hurt that must fill your heart as I have had 2 cats that were with me for 12 plus years pass away in the not so distant past. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your husband. You are a truly amazing talent and I look forward to all your uploads, Risa. Keep your chin up sweet lady and time will eventually help with healing your broken heart. Take care.......
Risa, I am so sorry for your loss. It’s heartbreaking to lose a beloved member of your family. My heart goes out to you. ❤❤❤❤
So sorry about your dog Risa. They really are members of the family. Never forgotten. xxx
So sorry for your loss and your profound realization that playing with makeup is your happy place ...and where you need to spend your time right now. God Bless you through this difficult time.❤
I understand your heartbreak. You will carry Marnie in your 💖 forever and miss her unconditional love. I’m happy you had such a wonderful fur baby. Take care Risa.
I’m so sorry for your loss Risa, I was crying with you. Our pets are most definitely a member of our families and it hurts deeply. Take your time morn her loss ❤️🩹
Owning a pet is such a wonderful experience. I am glad you got to share that with your pup. Wishing you blessings and peace as you grieve ❤
Iam so so sorry that you lost your little baby. We are so attached to our animals, they are part of the family.
Oh Risa, I am sorry 😢 to hear of your beloved pet loss. Virtual hugs 🤗 to you. Your in my thoughts. 18 years ago this Saturday the 23rd we lost our beloved Westie. She was my grandparents dog and after my Grandma passed in 2002. We inherited her. At that time she was already 14 yrs. We had her another 3.5 years. 17.5 years our beloved Westie was here on earth. She blew all the life expectations out of the water.
You look beautiful Risa! Thank uou for your Honesty on the foundation!! That Clean Topia Mascara didn't do a thing for me except make a clumpy mess of Mt eyes and the brush is to big.
Risa, I am so very sorry for your loss, the loss of a pet is the loss of a beloved family member…sending you love and big hugs of comfort 🤗💕 may your baby rest in peace 🙏🏻❤️
Awww... I am so sorry for the loss of your pup! My ❤ is with you and your family 😢❤!!!!
My heart goes out to you, Risa. I've been through exactly the same with Vincent, my 18 years old cat who was with me since he was a kitten. I feel for you and send a virtual but loving hug. And of course we understand why you need to go back to work! ❤ If I were half as good as you at makeup, i would find it therapeutic too. My thing is skincare, but you're the only TH-camr who has actually taught me something about applying makeup, and for that thank you! ❤❤❤❤
I am so sorry about the loss of your beloved dog. I’ve gone thru this 4 times and it’s not easy. Sending healing vibes. ❤
I’m so sorry for your loss. I hope your memories help make you smile.
Oh Risa I feel your pain! Our fur babies wrap their paws around our hearts! My profound condolences!
Risa, so sorry you lost your furbaby. Give yourself some grace and do what you need to do whether it's doing your TH-cam thing or choosing not to. We're here for you.❤
I’m so sorry that your fur baby passed. They do become your family. Thank you for letting us know. God bless you and your family. Love your videos. You are so beautiful. ❤🙏🏻
Hi Risa, I am so sorry for the loss of your fur baby, Marnie. May your wonderful memories of her make this difficult time a little easier.
Wish more people said the thing about color matching!! So many times I get matched to either the tannest part (forehead), my chin hyperpigmentation or my dark circles, which all make the overall face seem deeper. The proper match is the palest part of my face (usually cheek) that matches my chest.
Risa i am so very sorry about the lost of your lovely dog. Our pets mean so much to us so i totally understand your lost. I actually think we will see our pets again , plus think of the lovely home and care you gave her in this life.
