Random Thought:
We are very close to having some new KITTENS!!
I'd love a series on old eyeshadow palettes.
Especially the prestige-end kind of ones that we’ve all hung on to :)
Yes
Agree!!
Yes!!!! Or an updated fall eyeshadow looks using old palettes!! I still use pumpkin spice that's my fave!
Yes
As I sit here with my 6 and 8 year old… I just wanted to say thank you for being someone I can always count on watching and not have to worry about the kids overhearing anything inappropriate. Bonus… you are still coming out with the best video concepts after all these years!! Happy Saturday, Em! 💕
thank you SO much!! That means the world!
I love "shop my stash" because with costs going up I'm on a basically "no buy". And who of us hasn't picked the wrong bra and discovered it at the wrong time. LOL
Candace. Same. But it's so hard with so much good stuff coming out!🤷♀️🙈😁
@@territrabert1201 oh, I know. Evertime something catches my eye, I search to see if someone has done a "dupe it" video. I'm really getting into those. Managed to avoid the Rose Quartz palette I wanted to kill for. Saw a couple creators basically dupe it with her other palettes I already had. Although I'm still a sucker for an ELF Bite Sized anything.
@@territrabert1201 I love to look at the new stuff then immediately try to find something in my own stash that gives me the same or similar vibes! If I can't find anything that I own already, then I wish list it and wait for a good sale, enough stuff to qualify for free shipping, etc. Works really well for keeping my collection more curated and not ending up with 8 blushes that all look the same on my face plus I usually end up saving $$! :)
@@UnpurrfectRobyn yes the new stuff is so exciting. I have such a collection right now that I just keep telling myself that I don't need anything. I already have something similar. But they sure do make some appealing things.
OMG your bachelor idea with mascaras ... Sold!!! I love it!! I laughed so hard, my dog woke up and came to see what was wrong. 😂
I love your sense of humor and all of your tips and tricks. Your true passion for the craft of makeup shows through. I want to thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for giving me a breath of fresh air and giggles in every single video. As a chronic illness sufferer, it's more appreciated than I can explain. The 20 or so minutes of distraction, laughter, and sense of comfort - the safe space community - are such a God send.
🖤
You deserve so many more followers and viewers!!! You are so genuine, knowledgeable and beautiful,inside and out! I’m pissed YT took away your 1 million mark. I just know it’s bc some people were mistakenly unsubscribed. Sending all my love your way!! Tysm for getting ready with me this morning 🙃😉💝
I have noticed that when applying cream and liquid blushes to the cheeks, all the pouncing of the brush brings blood flow to the surface. So, when I think I have gone just slightly too far with application, it is actually just the right amount after the natural flushing has subsided.
I recently bought the Lorac Unzipped Pro palette (I know - I was late to the party!) so I’d love to see that included if you do a ‘palette revival’ series!
One of if not my all time favorite palette, the OG Unzipped palette from Lorac. It's just so good, outstanding formula, easy to use, never had an issue in its performance & a beautiful look every single time. I even repurchased it because my original palette was very old. That in itself says a lot. And yes I too would love to see Emily do a look with this palette for a 'palette revival' series
I did too. The palette is beautiful but my skills aren’t great.
Elf should use this eye look as an example for their website. It is so unexpectedly beautiful how that blue and rust shade blend together 😍
The girls are growing up so fast. I remember when they were born. Perfect time for 2 kitties since Bub is a little older and can be taught how to handle the kitties gently. Animals can sense long before us when the weather is changing due to barometric pressure in the air. The baby deer must have wondered away from his Mom to do some investigating and eating in a new location. I love animals!!
Your look is great as usual. Fresh!
😎❤️💄Kathy
I was literally just thinking about how I wish Emily would do a video on makeup that no one talks about anymore!! Great video as always! ❤️ I would love to see some more videos on profusion cosmetics as well!
I wake up on Saturday and look forward to having my late breakfast or brunch while watching you, Emily, as I'm sure your many other viewers do. Love how honest and random you are, how relatable you are. You make me giggle and smile when you get giddy over your blush look! Excited for your girls to start their new school year. We don't start as early here in Michigan. My kids are in college and having been taking online summer classes toward their degrees. Everyone have a great Saturday and rest of the weekend!! 🥰😘
Happy Saturday, Emily! Just want to say how much I love and appreciate your wonderful videos! You are such a sense of calm and enjoyment for me in this often chaotic world (and of course I love and trust your makeup recommendations the most ☺️)! Hope all is well…enjoy your weekend! 💜
I LOVE shop my stash videos! I have purchased a lot of makeup over the past 3 years and I find myself less interested in purchasing new makeup and more interested in exploring what I already have. I have a bunch of stuff I used once and put in the drawer then on I went looking for the next best thing. A vicious and wasteful cycle! I love the feeling I get when you use an older product and I remember that I have it in the bottom of the drawer, I use it and I love it! It's a great feeling!💕
Happy Saturday Emily! My coffee cup is full and I’m all ready for a good shop my stash! I love rediscovering old favourites! And everything you love and recommend has all worked for me!
Hi Emily! My boys are now 20 and 22, but you bring back so many precious memories of school age children! You are the first mom that I’ve heard from that gets sad when summer draws to an end! Most moms are glad or relieved. Late August has always tugged at my heart b/c I cherished every single minute of summer break!
So happy to see a shop my stash and also great to here about the new kitten 💕 they bring so much joy
we are very excited!!!
Thank you for this inspiration - and the others you’ve done! I need to remember to shop my stash every time I’m tempted to buy new things! New does not mean better. :)
Good morning, Emily!! How are you? I love Shop My Stash videos. You always recommend the best products. I love watching you do makeup! You are, funny, calming, interesting, inciteful and an all around joy to watch!! I hope you and your family have a wonderful weekend! 🥰
Loved the eye look shake up with the blue. The new school year definitely emphasizes the passing of time in our children’s growth. And new kitties yay! I especially love cats and I think having pets is a wonderful way for kids to learn to love all of our wonderful creatures. I think they will love having playful kittens at their ages. So much fun to grow together.
A rainy Saturday morning, coffee and Emily! Aww…kittens soon🐈🐈⬛
Happy Saturday Jennifer!!
With you and blush, the level always makes more sense once you have your eyes and lips done.
That highlight is a rare glass package at the drugstore! 💙
Yes! New kittens on the horizon! Can't wait to meet them. Beautiful look, Emily. So inspiring. Thank you for the GRMW - always a favorite. Especially a chatty one. Hugs & blessings to you & your adorable fam. XOX
You are so much fun to watch! I love how easily you keep the conversation going and I love how gently and kindly you speak while also being really excited about the products. I'm so glad I found your channel!❤
I’m the same way - been watching Emily for about ten years!
Fun look as always, Emily! Love the lip and blush of course but love it all! Happy weekend! ❤️
I love the elf acne fighting foundation even though I don’t have acne, I really like that one. Two great songs! Used to sing Brown-eyed Girl to my daughter when she was little. She just turned 21. 🥺🥺🥺
Songs I have recently rediscovered that I love are Berlin Take My Breath Away (singing at karaoke next weekend for my birthday) and Starship Nothing's gonna stop us now. And I am always shopping my stash! Tfs.
Yayyy! Shop my stash is my favorite! I have eye shadow and blush palettes that are well over 5 years old and they still work just as they did when I purchased them! I will toss expired cream products, but powder products are usually just fine to use for a very long time. The only reason I've thrown a powder formula away is on the rare occasion it has started to smell weird or the formula just wasn't great to begin with and has been replaced with better formulas. One example is the OG Too Faced Chocolate Bar palette. Over the years, eyeshadow has just gotten better since I bought it back in 2016 and even though it has beautifu packaging and provokes nostalgic feels, I realized the formula just isn't half as good as any of my bh cosmetics travel palettes! The same thing happened with some other iconic products, such as the Tarte Blush palettes. The colors are gorgeous, but I've found the formula to be drying on my skin now that I'm older. My newer cream blushes look much more flattering and are far cheaper!
The landscape of makeup has evolved away from high end and as a die hard drug store makeup lover, I'm happy to see this! But I've also watched drug store prices climb dramatically. Elf used to be $3 to $6. Now it is routinely well over $10 and up! That is a BIG difference!
Happy Saturday! Love seeing shop my stash videos! Old favorites are the best.
I love the blue/colorful tones on you. Something different from the rosy looks was really fun!
Hello My Beautiful Friend Emily! I love Shop My Stash videos. I have so many things I love that I haven’t used for quite awhile. I need to do this instead of buying, buying and more buying.
Thank you for being an inspiration to me and many others. Love you Emily 😘
So happy to see a Shop My Stash video!! We all have tons and don't need to be buying more. I really appreciate your honesty around products. Could you revisit the Believe Beauty line? Would love to hear your feelings about that line again. Thanks--you're the best!!
Good morning & Happy Saturday thx for another great video I love drinking coffee and talking/ playing with makeup with you I recently heard Cowboy Take Me Away by The Dixie Chicks I forgot how much I love that song it's a good one 🙂
My kids are all out of school, it did make me so sad when the next school year came along but I was happy and excited for them. Now they are out of the house and on with their own life and children. The house is quiet but grandbabies are amazing Emily. Spend your time wisely (I am sure you do) but for anyone who might read this. You can't get it back
The best part of my Saturday morning, Emily & Coffee ❤
I love you Em. Thank you for being in my life and making it brighter. I did my makeup along with you this morning. It feels like doing makeup with a friend. I miss that so much. ❤️
Needed to let you know.....I just downloaded "Something to Talk About" to my phone. I, too, forgot how much I like that song. You provide so many services you don't even know about. Love you 💓
I love this look, mainly because of the diversity of colors🎨 I usually too afraid to go outside the 📦 and do different colors. Thank you Emily for bringing the creativity 🙌
I live on the East Coast and that eye look is most definitely giving the sun setting at the beach. Very beautiful!
I really enjoyed this one. I GRW-Emily this morning and you inspired me to pull out some of the same products. Also, I didn't sleep well last night, so I appreciated spending a few minutes doing make up with you to take my mind off some of the things that have been weighing heavily on me. ♡
Almay used to have these for your eye color palette with the prettiest pink with little flecks of gold shimmer in it. It was for hazel eyes, mine are blue, and I wore that color daily for many years. They quit making it and I am not happy about that🤣. I didn’t use any of the other colors with it. I really didn’t get into more elaborate eye looks until I was laid off from Covid. That’s when I found makeup CZcams.
I am so happy I did. I love makeup more than ever.
The random thought on this video is one of THE most exciting ones! The new little additions are so stinking cute😻😻
Oh I agree... it's so much more emotional when the kids go back to school, versus a birthday.😭🥰In the UK, we don't go back until Sept. I'll have a little boy in Year 1 and a grown up girl in Year 2 then...time just flies. Hope you enjoy your last week and good luck with the back to school 🍀💗 x
I really love the idea of some older palettes video. Especially the higher end ones that we are hanging on to!!! I shared on Twitter because you are awesome!
As soon as I woke up, I was hoping you posted a video! I love sharing Saturday mornings with Emily 🥰
Hi Emily! Happy Saturday 😊 I'd love to see a transition make up video that takes us from summer to autumn. I bet you'd have some great ideas!
Hi Emily, I love the eye look and the lips look so good. I have never used a lash primer but I might try one.
I've been watching youtube on a big computer screen instead of my phone and I've discovered that youtube people do have real people skin instead of a perfectly flat blank canvas as it seems on my phone, and I have to say yours is the best! Even better than all of the 20 something year old that I watch and that's very nice! Also I love your videos!
Such a pretty look… love the flower beauty lip. And yes… I always add more blush too☺️
Love a good shop my stash, and you always know how to pull together a great look! I laughed when you said you were topping off your blush with Mellow Wine. I had just done the same, and I learned about it from you! Will we see a summery shimmer look with the Elf Orange Dreamsicle?
That bachelor mascara combo was so funny, I’d love to watch it 😂
Thanks Emily. I asked about your preference or differences between the catrice foundations. I really appreciate your response. That is so awesome plus it saved me from purchasing something that just wouldn’t work for me, so, again it is greatly appreciated. 💕
Happy Saturday Emily! What a fun video! I liked how applying your blush made you so happy. Your eye look is very pretty. Have a great day!
It is soooo pretty, I am going to pull out my Elf and try the same look. Thank you for the inspiration and the beautiful look. Have an awesome walk.
I love “Brown eyed Girl “ and that part of the movie of “Sleeping with the Enemy “ with Julia Roberts .
I’m actually glad summer is almost over because of the extreme heat we have had. I’m looking forward to the Fall. I know what you meant about the kids. When mine were young I hated to see them get older. I wanted them to stay little but they do have to grow up. I have two grandsons and they are growing up so fast, if only they could stay little and innocent.
I was watching the HeyJess channel and when she curls her lashes she does it in 3 places, the root, middle and towards the ends and it made a huge difference!
You rock!! I have that elf quad and now I know exactly how I’m going to use it!! Totally agree with you about blush at the end! I do it every time. Thank you 😊
A new school year is so profound in our children’s lives! I hope your girls have an amazing year! ❤️🙏
Remember when you'd shoot your videos in the room with the bar or when you faced a different direction of your room? I'd love to see those kinds of changes. I love your content but a bit of a location refresh would be fun. Out by the pool maybe?
Hi, I really enjoy watching while using what you have, and if you mix that liquid blush and highlighter together you’ll get a similar effect as the blush wands from CT, a lot cheaper too 😀❤️
Happy Saturday!! Love these videos!! We should all appreciate our make up stash more. So many good products we can forget about always looking for the new
Omg the eyeshadow for your eye color trend! That takes me back! I wore a green/purple eyeshadow set from almay for hazel eyes all through high school. Good times! 😊
Hey Emily! Some of my old favorites are actually on repeat, I've re-purchased quite a few! Love the video, thanks for your energy! And for the headband, your trademark!
This is how I could do blue eyeshadow and feel okay in it. It's just not a color I usually reach for. Thanks for inspiring me! I'll probably use the Patrick Starr One Size eyeshadow palette - it has similar shades.
I love Shop my Stash videos! I feel like makeup is mostly the same now and so it’s better to be like hey here’s the extra stellar (or not stellar) stuff. Plus…. I just feel like you are more chatty in them- saying your experience, comparing to newer stuff, etc. and I’m always here for a chatty Emily video 😁
I truly enjoy your videos. You really give my day a pickup. 💕. I am going to try the cover girl lash blast primer!! I am think you’re on to something there. I always have trouble with curl hold and volume building that I can’t wait to see how it works! Thanks so much ‘Em! Enjoy your weekend! 💕
Teacher here. It's so nice to hear someone talking positively about their kids'teachers. We get a very bad rap out there and we work very hard for the money!!!
Emily Elf has a new foundation out. I saw a you tuber use it yesterday. I was shocked. Happy to be spending my Saturday morning with you and reading the comments of this wonderful community you have created. Such a comforting space!!!!!! Love to all
Ooooh, I’ll have to check that foundation out! I’m starting to get back slowly into wearing more makeup after taking a break from it since 2020 and staying home so much the past two years.
@@smallstepsdaily me too. I am still working from home but am getting excited about makeup again. I used to buy a lot of makeup but then never use it so my goal is to use what I have and be choosy about what new items I bring in.
@@Tracylyn42 That sounds like a great goal, and I feel the same way. I did buy a couple of things this weekend that Emily's talked about recently: the two-in-one highlight and contour stick from Wet n Wild and the gel eyeliner from Almay. I'm enjoying both of them!
@@smallstepsdaily I bought that WnW primer she talked about. The glass skin one. I don’t feel bad to bad when it’s drugstore. I’m looking for a good eye liner that will stay all day. How is the staying power with that liner? Emily’s community is one of the best places on you tube for sure. Hope your day is good!,
@@Tracylyn42 I just bought it yesterday in the brown color. They had several colors at my Target including green and purple shades (which I haven't used those colors for eyeliners in several years LOL). The eyeliner glided on just like Emily said it did in that video (it was the video she did recently where she only used viewer recommendations). I felt the staying power was good yesterday, but I didn't wear it for a full day either. I believe it was $6, so that wasn't too big of a purchase. The only "expensive" makeup I wear is Bare Minerals tinted moisturizer. Everything else is drugstore. And yessss -- this community truly is the best!
I'm fairly new to your channel and I just want to say I'm really enjoying it. I get my coffee and sit down to what feels like having a friendly conversation instead of just watching a makeup video. I also appreciate that you review so many drug store products. It helps me stay in my budget. Lol. I look forward to our morning coffee sessions. :)
That brow is ❤️🔥🔥❤️🔥🔥❤️🔥🔥 AND "BROWN EYED GIRL" is one of my fav's.. 👀🤎💃🏻 me & brother used to dance to that in the '80's!!🤎🤎🤎
I had that Smashbox palette for brown eyes! I loved it! The blue was gorgeous!
Happy Saturday!! That elf under eye powder was my holy grail for the longest time, but I don’t think they actually make it anymore 😞 love you! Thank you for all you do ❤️
I bought two colors of that ELF foundation, and still to this day, I feel like ELF needs to reimburse me LOLOL! Horrible product that was so hyped it was ridiculous. But you? You can make anything look beautiful. You are so talented. Good video. THX
Yes, that cc cream is the worst
I recently rewatched a video where you were talking about Cupcake and wondered if you had ever gotten another cat. So excited to see that kittens may be coming to your house soon. Serious cat family here. Excited to see the new additions. Happy Saturday!
Hi Emily! I’d love to see an Amazon favorites video from you I love those type videos!
I have that show on my watch list too, but we have it on Disney+ hear in the UK. Alot of people have recommended it so I defo need to give it a watch.
I always add a little more blush at the end of my look too.
I'm so excited to see you have two new kittens. They are so adorable.
Brown eyed girl one of my favorite songs. Love the eye looks it looks really nice.
Good morning! Glad to know I’m not the only one who likes that XM station 😄 It has such a good variety!! 🎶
I love The Blend channel! It has reminded me of so many good tunes.
I can't believe Bitty is starting Kindergarten already. Time is flying! You'll be down to one at home during the day. I don't know if he's an independent play-er. It can be a big change-up for him, too. WnW makes some good highlighers. I like the blossome color.Speaking of smashbox, I loved that Art Love palette. I still have it and use it. We could have had some Sahara sand coming through. It happens from time to time. I get deer in my yard, too. Love it!
I just bought the Rosewater palette from Elf cosmetics. Had wanted it for a long time. Would like to try the CC cream but don't know how it will do on my dry skin. Love Milani Cosmetics also especially those lipsticks.. Another great tutorial..
Emily had such a delightful sense of humor in this video!❣️👍🎉
Yay!My favorite type of video.Have a great weekend everyone:)🌻
My sister got me started on Only Murders In the Building. You’re so right - what a great cast. Sting! Tina Fey! Nathan Lane! It’s so fun.
“ Only murderes in the building “ is totally my jam, old school, new school
Happy Saturday Emily! How are you? I love these videos and how they inspire to use all the good stuff we’ve already bought. And you’re about to have new kittens, I have to catch up on some videos but I think I’m missing something! 🥹 would love to see pics. Hope you enjoy the weekend, hugs ❤️
This is the first I've shared about it!! Will share more details soon!!
My husband and I love that show too! What a great ensemble ❣️
I just found your channel and I'm already loving how cheerful you are and this really entertaining video I'm also a huge fan of Elf and wet and wild highlighters and some of the wet and wild lipsticks that I've tried I love.
Love Only Murders in the Building! A weird combo of funny, who dunit murdery stuff, and heartwarming.
You keep reminding me about makeup I have put in my get-rid-box, making me think I should try it again!
You (a brown-eyed girl) like "Brown Eyed Girl" whereas I (a green-eyed lady), like "Green Eyed Lady!" Fancy that! 😉
I paused the video and listened to “Something to Talk About!” Lol great song, I forgot about it too!
I love the elf cc foundation! I live mine. Right now it’s to light but it’s still great!
I was waiting for your Saturday video so I can relax with a cup of coffee. Great start to the weekend. Thank you
Happy Saturday! I’m looking forward to seeing the kiddos with kittens. I’m hoping you’ll share on Instagram when the time comes. 😊
Your video’s are simply amazing- I value your opinions of products- I think you are the most genuine person on CZcams- I try to never miss a video. Thank you for sharing 😊- have a wonderful blessed weekend
Brown eyed girl…one of my favorite songs and on my 70s playlist. Also have been watching Only Murders in the Building since the beginning.
I always go in at the end with more blush😊💕 love this video Em. Thank you💕😊
I love your idea about the primer / mascara show. Wonder if there’s a way to make that a series on your channel 🤔
Emily, I really do miss cheer. I did not cheer myself but my daughter who is grown now with her own daughter cheered for 10 years at the competition level. It was so rewarding for her and she learned so much about teamwork, friendship, loyalty etc. It really is a great sport and did wonders for my daughter.
Love those songs! I'd love some more details on you singing karaoke in Nashville😁 I feel the same my girls start school this year and it seems so much more monumental and when they start school is when time really starts flying
