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, Polly, Ziva, and Charlie (all girls).

I purchase most products shown on my channel myself. Occasionally I receive PR. PR products were sent to me free of charge with no obligations to review them, and I was not paid by the provider to make this video, unless otherwise noted. All opinions are honest and my own. Some links are affiliate links and may earn me commission at no cost to you. Thanks to YOUTUBE for sending me the awesome Shop with YouTube light! When you shop products from within my videos, I earn a small commission at no cost to you. I appreciate your support of my work!
