      Great video. I have the Westman Atelier Super Loaded Highlighters and I use them as a quick, no make-up makeup look. Peau de Sante makes a great blush. All four are beautiful on eyes, and, of course, to highlight. They also last a long time. Don't know the expiration dates, but I am the only one who uses them, and they are staying as fresh as when I bought them so far. I have both of those nail colors too. Thanks for the review. 💚

    What a lovely favorites video. Of course, you look beautiful as always. I am so happy to hear that Nick continues to do well after his surgery. Even if procedures are minor, they always carry some risk and that always brings a lot of stress. As a Registered Nurse for almost 50 years, I am very aware of the stress associated with any illness and how it affects our bodies and especially our sleep and nutrition habits. I am glad to say that you are looking radiant, happy and quite in love. It shines out from you and you have chosen to bath us in your love and happiness and for that I thank you.
    So, I made my planned trip to Denver and saw Queen in concert. What an amazing show. While there I spent an entire day at the Cherry Creek Mall where there is a freestanding Chanel Boutique, Hermes, Gucci, Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom's, Macy's and Sephora. I thought I would spend a ton of money but honestly, I was a bit underwhelmed by the holiday offerings. In the end, all I picked up from the holiday collections was the beautiful Tom Ford Highlighter in Rose Irise. It is beautiful on the eyes as well as on the cheeks. I even used it to add some sparkle to my lips for the concert. I may revisit the holiday launches after a while, if there is anything left. I honestly would not be disappointed if I didn't get anything. For me the Dior palettes were quite dusty when I swatched them. The Tom Ford palette was lovely to look at but also a bit of a glitter bomb. I love Guerlain palettes but decided to wait as they are permanent. The closest to my preference was the Chanel and if I go back and get one, it will be that. I also really did like the look of the Chanel vernis in the gold/greenish shade. They were out of it when I was there but it is still available online. Anyway, I ended up getting the Natasha Denona I Need A Nude palette which I am quite enjoying. I think it is a palette that you would enjoy, Angela. It has a lot of one and done shades, some really beautiful shimmers and nice mattes for blending.
    Now where I did spend money, lipsticks!!!! I admit to having a lip problem and just cannot pass by a beautiful shade! I also picked up a blush from Westman Atelier. I have the highlighters and like you, they are lovely. The blushes are so beautiful also. I picked up a few Fenty blushes as the formula is very nice and since I have Gucci Radiant Pink blush and love it so, I also picked up another blush in the shade Pink Beige. So, those are my purchases for this month and since it is still awhile before Christmas, I will likely make some more purchases. I am waiting until after our Thanksgiving Holiday which is next week. I will be going to Seattle to spend the holiday with my daughter, although I will still be doing all the cooking. She is not a great one for cooking so I always cook for her and her roommate when I go. I am sure we will do a little shopping while I am in Seattle. There is a big craft, art and specialty food faire the weekend after the holiday and I am looking forward to that!!
    After watching your video, I am set to try the Miss Dior hair oil and the Shimmering Body Gel. I will definitely be looking at those while in Seattle.
    I know I always write a lot and some of that is because I live alone and so most of my communication is on the internet. I live in a very small town in Western Montana and my house is outside of town in the woods so very isolated. Normally I don't mind it because I am quite an introvert so being alone doesn't bother me. I always feel like I am sitting with a friend and we are just discussing lovely makeup, skin care and seeing wonderful sights. So, I hope my lengthy answers do not distress too many people.
    Take care and I am looking forward to your next video. Deborah

      Hi Deborah, I want to thank you for the long comments because you truly make my day! ❤ 🥰 I love to connect with the people who watch my videos and I usually get to know my regular viewers. I learn their makeup preferences, skin type etc. I think this is so precious because we create community of friends who love to uplift each other and share their experiences with beauty products. So please keep the long comments coming. I believe we all love them :) I am not surprised that you have been a nurse. You are such a kind and wonderful person.❤ It all makes sense now. One of my grandmothers was a nurse but not for long. I believe she couldn't handle the stress of the profession and she became a teacher later in her life. You purchased some amazing makeup! Timeless and classy! I've swatches the Natasha Denona palette and I couldn't agree more: it is gorgeous with so many one and done colors. I also love the pink beige blush of Gucci.
      As for your daughter - she is a a lucky girl :) I'm sure you will have so much fun together in Seattle. Sending you a virtual hug and have a wonderful day! xoxo

    I’ve recently been using Clinique’s new High Impact Hi-Fi Mascara and I couldn’t be more pleased with discovering it, especially with the holiday season upon us. Whatever Clinique has put into that shiny green tube, it not only lives up to my unbeatable and excellent YSL Lash Clash mascara but I think it just may have surpassed it with its incredible lash-curling effect that lasts until you take it off. I highly recommend this no-fail product.

    My current favorites however though are the 2023 Chanel Holiday collection. My favorite fragrance is Blooming Bouquet by Dior. I always get compliments on the way I smell so it seems to work well with my chemistry and also Wood, Sage, & Sea Salt by Jo Malone. Skincare I have all of Chanel skin care. Masks, moisturizer, eye cream and I’ve been using it all since I was 18 and don’t see myself ever changing that.

    Hi Angela, glad to hear that your love doing well. I can definitely relate, the joy after successful surgery, and spending birthdays and anniversaries , in the hospitals😔. Thats a crazy years i had with my husband, when he got paralyzed 13 years ago. Its still every day battle….so happy for you 🙏 great favorites. I agree on Chanel holiday collection, and Hermes blushes are amazing. I do not like WA super loaded ones. I have peu de pêche. Maybe i need to try with buffing brush, or La Mer big brush, that i just got, because i did not like powders either, but with La Mer brush, i love powders. Hermes and Chantecaille, my favorites. I never had Dior nail polishes, i was thinking to get Chanel Sequins one, but not sure how black it is. 🤔Have a blessed day 🙏❤️

    Hi Angela! You do look absolutely glowing in this video! So beautiful. 😊 I am still loving my Dior Holiday Palette and Chanel Holiday Eyeshadow Palette. Both are so nice! I also agree that the little special things we use to make ourselves feel good mean so much and they are comforting. For me right now I would say my "comfort" items are my L'Occitane Almond hand cream in my purse and my Fall Candles! Pumpkin, Coconut, Vanilla, Cacao Bean. So nice! I just purchased 2 Dior skincare products. The Dior 1967 Baume in Chamomile. This was a recommendation I heard from you, it looks like it will be very calming & nurturing on the skin. I also purchased the Dior Capture Totale serum. Hopefully these will be delivered this next week. I wanted to pick up the Dior Cushion foundation, however, it seems to be 'sold out' everywhere in the US(?). I'm not sure why I can't find this one. Thank you, have a good night! 💖🎀💖

    Good to know uour partner is on the mend Angela! I love to see all the Advent calenders reviewed, but I have not got one for a few years as I end up with too many unused products. This year I was thinking of getting a perfume this year. I rather fancy Chanel Coromandel. Do you know this perfume? Not cheap, and I will be buying blind from the Chanel website.

    • @Frenchforaday
      @Frenchforaday  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi Christina :) This is a lovely gift that you have chosen. I know Coromandel very well. Actually, I'm smelling it right now. I have a sample and wanted to remind myself of this scent. It's a spicy patchouli amber scent. It's a statement! A lot of people qualify this perfume as the masterpiece of Jacques Polge. This is a complex scent that develops a lot during the day. It starts off quite intense and then settles down into a rich oriental woody perfume. There is vanilla note that softens the whole composition. Overall, it's a great choice if you like complex and rich perfumes. Of course you should try it on your skin to see how you like it. Let me know :) I'm curious to know what you think after you try it. xoxo

    • @christinajones2182
      @christinajones2182 ปีที่แล้ว

      @Frenchforaday Thank you so much Angela! I am defiantly going to get it! I will certainly let you know what I think. I rather like ordering from the Chanel website as you can choose a couple of samples. I ordered Chanel Venise in the summer, and that is lovely. I hope other people enjoy the Advent calendar's, love to see them, especially the high end ones.

I'm considering to purchase Chance Eau de Tendre hair mist (for a gift to daughter of my bestie, she is 18 thus I think Eau de Tendre is perfect for her). Did you have experience with hair mist from this line? Does it also long lasting? I know Chance Eau de Tendre edt & really like it.

    I watch your videos with pleasure, you are so gentle and natural, Hope Nick is OK now and you feel more relaxed. Not to say that now you should not be using that lovely Westman Atelier tinted highlight - should use it not only to feel special but all the time! I never had any of the Westman Atelier products as I am too much into Dior, Chanel , Sisley etc but will buy a couple of these!!! Also subscribed now, will be watching you regularly! Just out of interest - and sorry if there is a video about it, I will check, but wanted to ask - do you have Chanel cream bronzer, and if you do - what do you think? is it better than, say, Sisley gel powder bronzer or Tom Ford or Dior bronzer? I also have Chanel les beiges bronzer but never had a cream bronzer and thinking of getting it.
    Thank you in advance.

    Hi Angela,
    I’m happy for you Nick is ok now and you look more happy and relaxed.:)
    I bought one eyeshadow quint from Dior (the silver one) and love it. I took a long break with Dior after reformulation but this holiday collection seem to be good quality.
    I skipped Chanel holiday collection (just bought one of the nail polishes) because the eyeshadow palette looks too similar with my Dior Cosmic eye from last holiday collection and I like the Dior quint more. The highlighter is very glittery for my taste.
    Because I skipped Chanel I spent money with Hermes.:)) I love their new eyeshadows and mascara and I couldn’t stop myself to buy them. I have 2 quads and I want 2 more. 😁
    I’m interested in that powder from Hermes. I have light skin tone with neutral undertone (B20 Chanel foundation and 1.5N Dior Forever Concealer) and I hope it doesn’t look too light on my skin. I want to use it mostly under eye because for face I have powder from Sisley and I love it.
    Thanks for sharing!🙂
