If you’ve made it all the way down here, thanks for taking the time to read though all my stuff :). In case you are curious, the vast majority of what I show on my channel is purchased by me. Occasionally, I will agree to partner with certain companies who will provide me with their product for consideration. I will ALWAYS mention in the video if a product is provided to me for review. I also make sure that the company I am working with knows that I only share my honest review of their products. If I love it, I will share that. If I hate it, I will share that as well. I will also always tell you why I love or hate a product. Also, I utilize Magiclinks and Narrativ to link my products for you guys. These are affiliate programs, which means if you use the link to make a purchase, I will receive a small commission from the sale. I always appreciate you using my links to shop!
Thank you as always for watching and take care!

Use whatever light you like best!
I like the ring light.
Hi Melanie. When is City Beauty having a sale?
I like both the ring light and the natural light, whatever works best for you!!!
Ring light please
Love the empties. I follow him too, hilarious.
As a skincare and makeup lover, I get so excited when I finish a product. It means I get to place it on my safe list when I don’t feel like trying anything new.
I recently finished the Eucerin Redness Relief night cream, YTTP Kale and Spinach cleanser, Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair, and Sephora Melting Cleansing balm.
I like the natural light☺️
Hi Melanie I think the ring light is ok, but prefer the natural lighting and it wasn't too dark to watch for me. As always I still really like empties videos and am sad so many people have stopped doing them, so please don't stop lol. I finished:
cosrx propolis toner
LRP toleraine hydrating cleanser 400mls
LRP baby Lipikar AP+M 400mls
500g zerobase body cream
Macademia hair mask
cantu kids custard
shea moisture castor oil leave in
Best wishes
Hi Melanie! Your videos are so much fun. I prefer the ring light.
So who has time to tell you what lighting to use. But if it’s dark for you it’s dark for us. I finished my alterna anti aging liters and my oribe Alchemy serum . Will repurchase both.
I am no help at all because I thought both light sources worked just fine. Please win the lottery and make that EDP! If I win, I’ll buy some from you too! I loved a teeny sample bottle of a vanilla perfume that Chris from the Perfume House here in Portland gave my friend and I once back in the early 90s. It was fancy and too expensive to buy but I kept the bottle for years after using it up, just to sniff the remnants of it. It was by L’Artisan Perfumers and called La Vanilia. A very “aged” vanilla. Some might say old lady smelling but I adored it. If you’ve never been, the Perfume House is an experience! On Hawthorne but not a hippie place 😂 The owner was from France so quite an upscale shop. Thanks Melanie! ❤
Melanie, do you know if city beauty is going to have some sales for this season? I feel like I haven’t received any emails from them lately.
i like the ring light. I can see the products much better.
Hi Melanie. I love your empties videos. Honestly I never noticed that you changed your lighting. I think they both look good.
This month I finished a K beauty product called Illiyoon Ceramide Ato Lotion. I highly recommend it. I already have a back up.
Either way is fine, but with ring light off hard to see the product unless you hold it up to camera. But do what you like.
Hello Melissa: I love your videos and enjoyed this one!!!! I prefer your videos with the ring light. Also wanted to tell you that I just finished using Peter Thomas Roth's retinol (large bottle purchased from QVC) and liked it. I am looking forward to your video that you promised on Tretinoin a few videos ago. Can you tell us when that will be uploaded? Hopefully you can let us know. Thank you for what you do and keep the video's coming. Sincerely, Mary Lou Silk (from Pittsburgh PA)
💯 ringlight!
Natural light
I think Ulta is offering extra points for the Arianna Grande perfume. Also, for lighting I don’t mind the ring light and at least it’s consistent. Our fall/winter/spring weather isn’t great when it comes to “natural” lighting.
Love empties videos! I actually think the shot looked better without the ring lighting🤷♀️, but I’m not bothered either way. I wish I had more rainy days to contend with😂
You look better without ring light products look better with ring light 😂
Either lighting is fine with me! Can’t believe people complain about that stuff!! I’m going to try the cosrx snail mucin stuff, I have sensitive rosacea prone skin so I’m hoping it works out! Thanks for the reviews, they are always helpful😊
I love the ring light ! I want a ring light for my videos !!! Lol your so pretty
Did you get your lips done ??? Or is that an amazing lip product ???🤷🏽♀️
Love the cos rx!!!!!
Have you tried Ulta mascara with the twister thing at the bottom u can set for regular , lengthening, thickness and length and thickness super cheap pink container !!!!
Oh and the better than sex mascara also is amazing
So funny I thought u died your hair grey!!!!!!
🥰🌈🦋🌺🌺🌺!
makes my day when you upload empties
I bought the Snail Mucin on your recommendation and absolutely love it. It’s the perfect amount of moisture for my oily skin under my Paula’s Choice Super Light Wrinkle Defense SPF!! And also works great with my Tretinoin!!
Ring light please
Hello Melanie: Regarding that Aveda Cherry Almond conditioner, did you also use the shampoo and would you recommend it? Thank you~
I liked the ring light off, but you do what works for you😉
This is weird – but I really like your voice 😊 it sounds very youthful and feminine
You look like you ran out of power…noise makes me look through my fingers waiting for the chainsaw man.
I don’t remember your videos being so dark other winters. Maybe add some light behind you and then the ring light won’t make us think someone has you tied to a chair and torturing you!!
I love empties videos! I've finished a lot of my regular stuff and will probably stock up for black friday when the sales come round. I finished a lot of my serums, a tube of the foreo cleanser and some masks too!
If you can find an It Works person (I am not) when I used their hair, skin and nails vitamins….. that was the best my hair has been! Loved them but they were just too expensive to maintain since I’m no longer working overtime. But that was the only product I’ve tried so far I actually notice works as far as supplements. Anxious to see how kerotin works.
Empties are my favorite videos to watch as well. It definitely gives me a bunch of great ideas of what to try. Thank you for being so consistent in doing these
