Getting back into the grove

It's been so long since I've had regular posts here and on YouTube. I actually really didn't think I'd be coming back.

 

 I don't get Julep or Birchbox anymore, at least I won't be for a while, so those videos have stopped. Suddenly the guaranteed two videos a month don't happen anymore, and YouTube fell by the roadside and lay forgotten. 

 Getting the lighting right for a tutorial is, and always has been,hard enough, but the last few months, actually having a quiet house to film in has been near to impossible. New neighbors next door like blare music at all hours and the neighbors from downstairs like to carry on like mad men, or else have their TV at top volume. Again, YouTube kind of got left behind. 

 

 Now I'm trying to soldier through all this mess and get back to doing what I love so much- filming tutorials, reviews, and best-ofs for YouTube, with written blogs to go along with it all.  I will hopefully find a way around the noise, and the lighting is getting easier to work with. 

This time, I really hope to stick with it and make it work. I feel so bad letting things go for so long, or promising a video and then it never happens. I have a lot of ideas for looks, mainly inspired by video games, since that's what I've been doing with my spare time lately. WoW, mainly, but Kirby and Pokemon too, and the color inspiration is INSANE!! 

Hope I haven't lost too many of you guys, and I hope you all can find something you like in my newer videos, especially now that there's the hope of a consistent theme. Also, I will still be accepting requests, no matter whether they're like what I've been doing, or where the looks are from. 

See you all soon!!! 

April Julep Maven 2014

This was the coolest blush I've used yet, the finish is amazing, it isn't too much, and it doesn't seem to be something you should be afraid of using either!

Getting back into the swing of things

It's been almost a year now, and I'm working hard to get back into the swing of things. I won't try to play catch up, there's been too many videos to try and do a blog for each one.
 Instead, from today on, I will be posting with every video I upload. I will start with this month's Julep video, which I did a couple of weeks ago.
 Bear with me guys!!

I abandoned you!!

I haven't been taking care of this blog at all, and I'm so so sorry! Starting today I am going back to posting every time there's a new video, so look forward to written posts along with the video.

December Birchbox

I would have normally had, filmed, used, and been done with my Birchbox, but unfortunately mine was stolen this month, and so I had to wait for my replacement. Here's my video :D
