ABOUT ME: My name is Shelly and I’m a 51-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 Ziva and Charlie (both girls).
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. All opinions are honest and my own. 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!
