What a great round up of your favs of 2024 Carmel. I finally ordered the elf soft glam foundation and I love it! Thanks so much for your efforts all year bringing us lots of information and your experiences with the products so we can make informed purchases. You have such a natural and genuine way about you that comes through the screen - it feels like sitting down with a friend. 😊 So excited for You with how your channel is growing!

@@trackandhp7 It’s funny you should say that, I’ve just received my first one! Had to order from the US because I wanted the new look balms 🙈 And you’re absolutely right, I love it! Told you I’m predictable 😂 Thank you so much for the suggestion! 🩷
Look at us! We know her so well that we thought about the same recommendation 😂 If you can't find those (I think they didn't release in Europe yet), maybe you'll have better luck finding the original formula (Revlon Super Lustrous Glass Shine) In case you want to expand your options, you can try the Sephora Collection About That Shine Sheer Shine Lipsticks or the L'oreal Paris Glow Paradise Balm-in-Lipstick 😊
@@CarmelNicoleBeauty Oh that's great I'm glad you love them! Honestly I can't believe how affordable they are for such a comfortable formula! And with such beautiful wearable shades. I have about 5 in my collection already 🙈
Great video! Holy grails I discovered this year were the ND corrector, Victoria Beckham concealer, CT cream bronzer and the Chanel cream blushes. Would love to see a favourites of all time video too.
