ABOUT ME: My name is Shelly and I’m a 49-year-old web geek that jumped off the deep end into the makeup and beauty world. I’ve got normal to dry skin, fine lines, and hyperpigmentation caused by sun damage. Cameo appearances by my rescue cats Daffy, Ziva, and Charlie (all girls). Rest in peace, my pretty girl Polly 2014 - 2024.
I purchase most products shown on my channel myself. Occasionally I receive PR, products that were gifted to me with no obligations to review them, which I state verbally when applicable. I was not paid by any product provider to make this video. Paid product placements will always be indicated in writing and verbally; I rarely do them. All opinions are honest and my own. Thanks to CZcams for sending me the Shop with CZcams light! When you shop products from within my videos/links, I earn a small commission at no cost to you. I appreciate your support of my work!

To get ALL the product & your money's worth...cut it open. Once your plastic tube is almost empty, you can cut it open (scrape all the stuff from the top into the bottom) & then the top will fit back on top over the bottom.❤️❤️❤️ Love your channel!
Hi Shelly. Definitely a pump applicator is the way to go. It's less messy, and less wasteful.
Great video as always. ❤❤
Hey, you are looking so pretty, as usual. I need to watch your videos more often. We wear the same colour of foundation but that’s not the reason. You are prob the best reviewer I have seen!
Thank you!! 💜
Shelly, that is so fricken funny! I did the exact same thing to my Clarins Total Eye bottle too, after mine failed! It would have been a real waste to have thrown it away w/o getting every spec of that wonder cream out of there! It’s expensive! I think I need to try that No 7 & the Tight Eye too! Goodbye $$$$💸💸💸💸💸💸💸💸! You must try Prequel Lucent C on your facial sun spots! It worked WONDERS on the sun spots I have on my hands (followed by sunscreen)! They started out darker brown and after 2 months they have faded by half in color! The stuff is what dreams are made of I tell ya!👌🏾
I will definitely check out that C because I'm pretty sure my sun spots are as faded as anything else is going to fade them.
Hi Shelly, we love an easy pump better less messy.
I like using spray bottles to put sunscreen on my body. That way I'm consistent. I usually spray it in my hand and spread it where it's needed, lol. It's just fast and easy.
I can’t wait to buy that Science Serum eye stuff. I’m gonna buy it next week.
I just repurchased the Costco June deal on Bioderma. I use it to take off eye makeup and sunscreen, before using CeraVe. I’m also loving Jennafer Grace Caftans for the summer, which I never thought I’d love this much- but def worth the splurge, esp if you can catch a live sale.
Omg I’ve had the same issue with Total Eye Lift. I love the product but I HATE the packaging, so I bought up a bunch of deluxe samples instead since they’re so much easier.
I had the issue both times I bought it and decanted it into a jar. I won’t buy it anymore because they refuse to fix it.
Hi Shelly, I am a new viewer. I too have used TIGHT Eye for years but have been lax the year. You brought me back!!! I have seriously droopy eyelids and can't afford a lift. I did see on Penn Smith that red light therapy on eyelids might be an upcoming option (recent episode). Love the idea of your shampoo, plastic everything is such an issue) I am now subscribed 😊
Welcome, Lisa!! I will have to watch that video from Penn - I love her and I'd love to see more advances in red light therapy!
We geeked out over trash 😍 I love empties. It’s one of the only videos I film for my channel. Love your energy 😊 I’m going to maybe by the no7 serum, you have me intrigued
It goes on sale pretty regularly!
@@goow hoping it’s the same in Sweden!
I got some of the new Prequel hydration serum today and finally grabbed a Gleanser in stock 🤣🤣🤣 been wanting to try it for months their vitamin c looked nice too
i love the Benton cica sunscreen! it’s similar to the one you have. i cut mine open to get every last bit out of those tubes!
I love pumps, too!💕
Ive been using Cosrx Cica Fit Cream. I have also used the intense cream version. I like both, but the cream (not intense version) is a little lighter and does a good job. Just oredered the centella toner from Cosrx based on your recommendation. Very excited to try it.
Did you know No 7 offers a bigger size of that awesome serum in a squeeze tube? A better value as well!
Another great review!
Thanks for another awesome video! I love to hear your thoughts on products. Because of you I started using the Clarins eye serum. Mine was also difficult to get out. Sometimes just had to keep pressing the pump and hitting the bottom of the bottle against my palm to get it out. But it's good.
I’m with you on the pump. I love a sunscreen in a pump.
Same thing happened with my clarins eye lift. I took it apart too
I'm kind of shocked at how many people have had trouble with their bottles! At $92 smackers we should at least get a bottle that works. Hmmmm.
I learn so much from your channel. You are an endless source of great information. I have tried a couple of No. 7 products (foundation makeup and moisturizer) and have really enjoyed them, so I am following your recommendations for No. 7 Future Renew Serum. They currently have a sale for a bundle of 3 products Renew Serum, Renew Night Cream and Renew Eye Cream for $79.99 that I am considering purchasing (GULP!!), but I know it would be worth it. Thanks for sharing, Shelly. Until next time.... 💖
No 7 is one of those brands that I wholeheartedly trust. They have solid research behind what they do and it's all formulated to the European standards, which are more strict than here (which I like). I do always wait for bundle deals and sales because it gets pricey, but they come around pretty regularly (and that bundle is a great deal!)
I feel the same way about The Ordinary Buffet as you do about your No.7. ❤ Tried Tight Eye when it first came out years ago. It's ok. Finicky with makeup, am curious about IT Cosmetics, PTRoth's etc versions. May pick TE up again since you recommend, and love it so much. 😊
I haven't tried the IT one but the PTR one dried my undereyes out immensely (which was a bummer because there are a handful of PTR products that I really love).
Hi Shelley I tend to get through stuff because I’m so dry (eczema and rosacea plus menopausal). So far this month I’ve finished:
Hourglass ambient powder (thirty two months of use for my dry skin)
Isispharma urea lotion 200mls
Superdrug AHA body lotion 200mls
Zelens shiso balm cleanser full size
Lumene sensitive night cream 50mls
Boscia eye cream 15mls
Paula’s choice omega cleansing balm full size
That’s just this month 😂. Obviously everything is not started and finished in a month. Best wishes x
That is such a satisfying list of empties!!
Just bought a few things in your shop - the shampoo bar sounds like just what I've been looking for.
Thank you!! Heading to the post office with your box now! =D
Paul Revere by the Beastie Boys AND a Happy Gilmore quote, hmm hmmm hmmm, you made ma day Shelly! Say “Hi” to the kitties for me!! Much love from a very hot and humid corner SE Missouri ❤️💋💄😻😻
This is the only place where people "get" my references anymore 🤣 My students no longer know what I'm talking about! I keep getting older but they stay the same age..... 🤣
It started way back in history with Ad - Rock MCA and me Mike D
I almost kept going 🤣🤣🤣
Hey Shelly! I love the Garnier Lamellar rinse simply bc it comes in a smaller bottle. I go on roadtrips and I love smaller containers for necessary toiletries. Not the same for makeup, though - I haul everything I own in three luggage-style totes! Love your videos, and your hair is great!
LOL yeah I need a suitcase just for my makeup!! Kidding not kidding? I average 15 pounds of makeup in my suitcase. 🤣
I love my $10 tretnoin lol I was so afraid she started me off on .05% 🤣🤣🤣 I thought my face was gonna fall off the RNW DER Ceramide serum has been the savior of my skin it’s soooooo incredible
SKIN AQUA comes in a pump it’s my fav body sunscreen waterproof big bottle
omg I think my face would have definitely fallen off!!! 🤣
Interesting wouldn't have guessed inside Clarins bottle was like that
I have both the No7 Future Renew and Clarins eye cream waiting their turn in my stash. Recently, I realized that I've used quite a bit of No7 skincare and foundations, and I've been consistently happy with them. It's a brand that gets overlooked.
They definitely aren't talked about as much as I'd expect. I've never been disappointed with their skin care (literally, never) and most of their makeup works well for me too.
I live in the UK, No7 is the biggest selling beauty brand here. Personally I've had mixed results with it, but in general it's known to work.
Paul Revere cracked me up. Also, I recently watched some of your old videos and I could really see the weight loss. Just wanted you to know.
Thank you!! 💜
Im just gonna.leave lots of comments. 😂 You've got me quite curious about the No. 7 serum and the tight eye. The Clarins really worked out for me. I need to buy more.
Knock on wood Ulta will keep putting the Clarins in their bi-annual sale. It's been half off the last 2 sales and so I buy 2 each time :) But I am on my last one right now!
I just finished up a Clarins Double Serum, an EL ANR (3.9 oz bottle!), a No 7 Cleansing Balm, a Jordan Samuel After Show cleanser, a Paula’s Choice 2% AHA toner, and a KS Peptide K8 moisturizer. Phew!!!
Now that my ANR is used up, I’m going to try the No 7 serum based on your recommendation! ❤
I tried the new EL Serum Foundation today (1C1 cool bone) and it wore fabulously! Even in this So Cal heat!
I need to get the new EL!!!
@@goow I hope you love it too!
Good morning! I was thinking too that my skin is flaking often so may want to step back on my Agency tretinoin. What did they step you back to? Your skin looks beautiful!!!!
Thanks!! Now I'm at 0.015% tretinoin (and 5% azelaic acid and 4% niacinamide). It has been much better.
@@goow I'm on .1%, tretinoin, 5% Azelai acit, and 4% Niacinamide (feel like I am flaking more so may go down some). Or maybe it's my Timeless Vitamin C serum causing the flakiness....trial and error! :)
I’m curious to know, at what strength tretinoin does it not make sense and retinaldehyde becomes just as effective. Like you I could not stop peeling no matter what and I was at 0.02 for years only using 1-2 times per week. Retinaldehyde has been great, but I wonder if long term I’m better off using a super low strength of tret?
Also, that nivea sunscreen is on Amazon, I love it too! I also think you would enjoy Scinic sunscreen. It’s a white and teal bottle, under $10 on Amazon. It goes in and out of stock. I’m a sunscreen junkie and it’s my favorite face sunscreen. It’s similar to the skin 1004.
There's definitely a tipping point between the OTC retinol options and prescription tretinoin. My preference is the low dose tretinoin, mainly because it's already in the body's usable form, so the dosage is likely more accurate. The OTC retinols have to be converted by the body into a usable form, so what you're actually getting as the usable dose can be estimated but will vary from one person to another. But there are other benefits of the OTC options like typically lower cost and ease of access. If I suddenly couldn't get or afford tretinoin, I'd have no qualms about going back to any of the OTC options.
@@goow thank you! I’m debating trying to lower strength and hoping I could use consistently without being in a constant state of peeling. I hope you keep us updated on using the lower strength, would love to see how it works out for you.
I have issues with texture. Should I exfoliate more or is it moisture issue. When I get a facial my face is so smooth but can’t keep it that way
It could be a little bit of both! It is for me. I suspect for me it's leaning more on lack of moisture, because when I stay on top of doing 7-skins everything is more smooth. But I also tend to slack on exfoliation and get flaky, so I know that is contributing. Have you tried doing 7-skins? Here's a how-to video I did a while back on it: czcams.com/video/9P5XDeyrXJo/video.html
I used a broken toothpick to stop up the tight eye stuff. Those bangs are getting long so we are unable to see the no longer 3 forehead lines. Looking great as per usual and wish you would make some v neck shirts. It is so hot here you sure don't want to come anywhere near here. Sorry that I am being so weird tonight.
I've got v-necks on my list of things to add! :)
💙💙
Shelly, you crack me up. Okay ladybug, cut that foil insert and get the rest of the goodness inside. I have to do that with the Medic8 Crystalized Retinaldhyde and it’s frustrating as these products are expensive. I was shocked at all that was left behind in my tubes x3. Andddd why have you not switched over to Agency( Curology’s sister company)? It’s geared for Anti-Aging where as Curology is geared for Acne? Just curious since you will soon be turning 50. I never could adjust to their formulations. Never a day without horrible dry, peeling skin and that was using hydrating serums and moisturizer first; waiting a good hr., then applying it. Also they have a Dark Spot Formula to use with it for hyperpigmentation. I’ would love to try your shampoo bars. My hair is very fine and very long and no body whatsoever! Great empties video. Thank you.
I will eventually switch over to Agency. I suspect they wouldn't change my formula yet so I figure, might as well stay with what I've got for now.
@@goow agency formula was a lot more gentler than Curologys formula, yet still too harsh on my skin I order my Tret on ReliableRx. It’s a gel and I absolutely love it and am seeing such a great change in my texture and diminishing wrinkles. It’s so exciting.

bit.ly/4aCCrVj and 10% off with code SHELLY :)
That's Japanese
Thank you!!! And it is still available (I just ordered another!) 🤣
Shelly, I ran out of the Tiam exfoliating toner I sent you, and wanted to try a different one. I gave myself a chemical burn. 🫣😬😳 I’m not trying another brand!
YIKES!! I'm about half way through the bottle now! All of my skin care has been in suitcases for a week with the plumbers here but now that they're done I have a couple new storage things coming for my bathroom and I can finally unpack it all again. I will probably be a peeling mess next week 🤣
@@goow I’ve been through several bottles of it- at least 3 or 4- and it’s never hurt me. I’m trying to figure out my skincare storage. I’m wondering how hot it can safely get to: we probably won’t use the A/C much upstairs, and that’s where my beauty room is going to be. We’ll keep it much cooler downstairs, but our main bathroom isn’t very big. 🤷🏼♀️
