I'm back and ready for action!

I'm finally in Washington and settled in. I filmed a little update video, along with a mini-haul today. I'll be posting it up on my channel either tonight or early tomorrow. So get ready for more videos :D

I'm a little stressed...

So my channel organization did not work out, I'm not enough of a functioning person to be organized enough about it. Not to mention the super stress I've been under lately from graduating/moving out of my house. Never try to do these two activities at the same time, it will lead to frustation, screaming, and random breakdowns where you cry for no particular reason for a good twenty minutes. But as this is my makeup blog and not my regular blog I shall tell you what is going on with my youtube channel.

As I mentioned in my most recent video, My Disney World Haul, I am moving. In fact, I am now moved out of the house. In order to prepare for this time where I am moving, organizing, and just in general prepare for my departure to Washington on June 6th I filmed videos ahead of time. I worked my butt off to be sure that I have about a month's worth of videos filmed ahead of time so my channel would not lack anything. However, all these videos were saved on my family's main computer. Now my mother and sister (who use the main "big' computer all the time) are actually leaving today, a full two weeks ahead of me while I live with my Aunt. So can you guess what happened? Before I had a chance to transfer all of my videos from the main computer to my laptop, they packed the computer up. And now my main computer, along with all of my videos, are in a box on their way to Washington. This means I will not be adding any of those videos I filmed ahead of time until after June 11th, when I finally see my Mom again. So for those three weeks I guess there won't be much on my channel. I'm too busy to film any proper tutorials or anything of the sort, so I may just be posting a few random outfits of the day, and what not. But until then I just hope my channel doesn't die. So, I'm done, now I'm going to release the fullness of my all my stress unto my main blog.

Channel Organization!

So I'm one of those people who works so much better when I have things planned out, so the other night, admist a coughing fit and sneezes (how can I be coming down sick over Spring Break?), I typed up a plan sheet for my channel. I now know what videos I'm going to film, when I'm going to film them, and when I'm going to add them. Hopefully this schedule actually goes as planned. I think weather and bad lighting will be my worst enemies.

So here's my basic plan:
Sundays: Makeup Tutorials
Tuesday: Hair or Fashion video
Thursdays: My Thursday Tip of the Week
Saturday: Haul/DIY/Nails/Tag/Review.....basically anything that can fit into the "other" category

And you, lovely, blog readers, will get a plan for each week's videos. Every Thursday I'll come and post this upcoming weeks videos, so here you go:

Thurday: Potato Bag Eyes
Saturday: Simply Kendra Makeup Review
Sunday: Simply Kendra Makeup Tutorial
Tuesday: Fun Spring Hair Bun


Hope you enjoy my channel organization!!!

Review for Simply Kendra Cosmetics

Colors from left to right : Jen-Jen, Razzatazz, Princess Fluffybutt Colors from left to right: Goddess, Senorita
Colors from left to right: Mona-Mona, Angel Baby, Three Wishes


DISCLAIMER: Thesze products were sent to me for review but all opinions written here are my own.


Simply Kendra Cosmetics sent me a few samples to test out and review and I must say, I was very impressed.


First off I love the unique names of the colors, fun names are always something to attract me. And these names are certainly unique and interesting. The pictures above are all pictures of the color with primer. Without primer the colors themselves still show up but they are a bit translucent. But of course it's always personal taste of a person, I like my colors to be bold and out there, but some people prefer an irridescent quality of shadows. All of the colors I was sent are shimmer colors, which I adore. Both Jen-Jen and Senorita make brilliant highlights. Goddess, when wet, makes a great liner. Princess Fluffybutt can be doubled as a blush, in fact, I used it as my blush yesterday. I'm finding all of the colors Kendra sent to me to be very versatile. Personally my favorite color it Three Wishes, it has this great quality about it that makes it bright and bold while shimmry and irredescent at the same time. There is a bit of fall out when the product is a applied but I think that's mostly due to the fact that they're loose shimmer shadows. Those tend to have the worst fall out. The products have great staying power. I wore some of these shadows yesterday with primer and they lasted all day long. Overalll I am very happy with SimplyKendra Cosmetics and would give her products 4 out of 5 stars. :)

1000 Subscribers!

On my youtube channel I have earned 1000 subscribers, this is such a big milestone for me. I just want to thank all of my subscribers, you really make me feel great. My original goal with my beauty channel was to have 1000 subscribers by the end of the year. I was giving myself a huge time, I see now. I've been on my channel for about four months now, and I have 1000 subscribers. It really does something to boost a girl's confidence. 1000 is great but now I just can't wait until 2000, and on and on. I've always been one of those people who puts in more effort when I know it is impressing someone. The fact that I have earned 1000 subscribers makes me feel like I've certainly impressed a few people and it is that fact that makes me want to keep going. So thanks, again. :)
