      @@DanielleNicoleMakeup yes we are always our biggest critic. I first started watching Mel with her platinum blonde buzz cut and thought- Wow! This woman is so beautiful…. and talented. You can see how much she had grown since that first video. I feel like we were getting glimpses of that younger Mel in more recent videos with her personality and how she opened up about a lot of her life struggles.🌹 May an endless field of roses and orchids be at her footsteps and her sweet dog be at her side in heaven🌹

    OMG! You are so funny as you watch the video. You remind me of a mom watching their child perform. Great video, lol!

    You were so sweet! (Still are, naturellement). Your accent sounds like it's changed a bit over the years. Anyway, lovely to see this vid.

    I definitely think the platinum buzz cut is your look! You look stunning with it!

    If I had seen that video back then, I would have immediately subscribed to you because you used Lime Crime! A lot of the channels I'm subscribed to are due to my searches for Lime Crime, Fyrinnae, Notoriously Morbid, Melt Cosmetics and other indie brands of makeup as well as indie brandd of nail polish. 💗💗💗

    You are being WAY too hard on yourself!! You look gorgeous, the look is stunning and your descriptions are so helpful! I remember being so excited finding your channel, you were using all of the MAC classics that I had in my collection and you inspired me to dig them out and play! You still inspire today :) xxx

    I cant believe how young u look. And the difference on how you do your shadow now.....so much growth and learning your eye shape. I have the hardest time not taking my shadow downward at the corner. You are my eye inspiration/ eye goals

    I loved you then, and I love you now! Most people started out the same way, afraid of the camera. I would be the same way as well if I were starting out. You grow more comfortable as you create more content. It’s been a pleasure watching you and your channel grow.

    Commenting for support. ❤️ I'm so glad you pushed through being nervous to be yourself in full glory. Tattoos, piercings, fierce, and stunningly gorgeous! My girls and I watch you. And I'm so proud I get to show them unique women like you so they know they can be!!! ❤️😍

  • @TheBrutallyHonestBeauty

    This was wonderful!! You were great then and have only gotten better. I feel the same about being so different as a CZcams beauty creator. I'm plus size, colored hair, covered in tattoos and I cuss alot Haha. But kudos for embracing your unique beauty and being a voice for others who may not feel they belong. I just love you!

    @MichelleLewis1969 Před 5 lety

    You are just the sweetest Mel. I'm loving that first video! Don't be embarrassed! Imagine the pressure that would have been on all of us if we felt the same embarrassment when learning to walk?! Go with the flow. We all have our ups and our downs. You should be so happy to see how great you've become and how much more wonderful you'll be in 4 years! :) Hugs & love. I hope all is well with you and no ailments pestering you. ((hugs)) PS: I'm loving those nails!

    You are so authentic and I loved watching this and learning more about you. You were scared but you did it anyway and thank goodness you did! And I say no to bringing back the brown hair - your look now is amazing and you totally rock it!

  • @BethInstaNow
    @BethInstaNow Před 5 lety

    This was so much fun to watch! I think all versions of you are perfect! This also inspires me because I started a candle CZcams channel a few months ago (under a different account) and I don’t edit yet at all, use my phone to make them, don’t look and sound like me, etc. but I love doing it and see myself relaxing in teeny tiny bits as I go along

  • @decimalowen9206
    @decimalowen9206 Před 5 lety

    I really enjoy your different style. It’s leans more towards what I would prefer if I didn’t need to appear quite professional and somewhat conservative (style-wise) for work. Very glad you’re comfortable being you on CZcams now. Thanks for this video! It’s always good to take a step back every now and then and reflect on the journey.

  • @moviesmag
    @moviesmag Před 5 lety

    Hey, Mel! So enjoyed your 1st video. You’ve come a long way baby, for sure, but hints of the polished, professional Mel-in-making were there under the surface. Love you, gal, and so glad to stuck with it! 💋

    The cutest scared little puppy with acrylic nails 😍🤗❤️
    I used to do my brows like this too lol!!
    I enjoyed this a lot! I think this was such a GREAT first video!!!! Wow! I can see the growth and how much confidence you gained but this was a great first video!!

  • @bonniemcmaken3966

    Aww! I know you feel it was cringeworthy, but I think you're being way too hard on your 4yrs ago self! I would've loooved to have had the screen big enough to see what you were doing and hear more of it (basically just see it all hahaha) but I think it was cute, and you did a great job. There's something really endearing and sweet about how shy/nervous you were. Its lovely to see how much you've grown and how far you've come! Your hair was nice, I've seen some gorgeous hair pics on your insta too, lol, but I LOVE your hair now, you're just a beautiful badass! 🤣🥰😍🖤😘🤘🏻

  • @anelissanchez1535
    @anelissanchez1535 Před 5 lety

    I loved it!😊 So cute, looked like you were 16☺️ The difference between then and now is confidence which comes with maturity, meaning we become wise with age. You'll realize the older you get, the less F's you give 😂 Love you Mel, then and now❤️ ... wouldn't change a thing🙏🏻

  • @SarahSmith-mu1wc
    @SarahSmith-mu1wc Před 2 lety

    Rest easy, Beauty. You will be incredibly missed. I feel both fortunate and saddened to have seen your 1st video and your last. It was an honor and pleasure to have watched you grow in that time. RIP Mel ❤🙏❤

  • @michelelee9009
    @michelelee9009 Před 5 lety

    Awe babe!! You were gorgeous then and even more so, now. I love that you rock your beautiful tattoos and platinum buzz cut because it’s what separates you from other cookie cutter “Stepford Wives” beauty influencers. Your confidence shines through the screen and your smile is contagious:)

    You were much better that you think you were. Of course you’ve come a long way. Now you are such a pro. But it’s always good to be reminded that doing this well is Hard work. Thanks for sharing where you started. And I think your hair looks great now. It’s what sets you apart. A signature. Don’t change it. Interesting look back. 💚
