November is My Birthday Month!!!

I'm making this post so late ha ha. November 3rd was my Birthday. I'm hoping that this year can be a lot better for me than last year. I hope to accomplish some bigger goals and I want to be happier. Last year, I felt down a lot of the time. I felt like I can't get anything to go my way. I just felt like I'm watching other people achieve their dreams and have all these good things happen for them, but I can't seem to get anything good to happen for me. And a lot of the reason that I was sad a lot is because of a freakin guy I like, yeah I know.

This year, all that really needs to change. I do not want this year to be an exact repeat of last year. I told myself that this year has to be better. First of all, I am going to be happier, we are definitely going to try dammit! I am going to work even harder at achieving goals that I want. I'm going to have some good things happen for me. I'm going to get things that I want.

So far this month of November has been alright. It's started off somewhat good, but then there have already been a couple things that really stressed me the fuck out! One of the great things that happened was that I got picked to be a top 10 finalist in a video contest with my school. They picked 5 students and 5 grads. So really I was a top 5 finalist out of grads that entered. I needed votes to win. Unfortunately I did not win, which was the down side of that for me. I'm not going to get into the details of the contest in this post. I definitely have some things to say about that, so I'm saving it for a separate post.

I went to Buffalo Wild Wings with my Mom on my Birthday. It was my first time eating there. It was pretty good. I also had a reward to get a free drink from Starbucks that day too. Then later that week I ended up getting another reward for a free drink at Starbucks and I got a coupon to get a free Bare Minerals lip gloss which was a birthday gift from Ulta. So basically I started off my month being able to get free shit! I also seemed to get a little more attention than usual from the guy I like. But that could mean nothing and it probably won't last. We'll see.

But yeah, My Birthday month is now over, there's already just 11 months left. This year better be awesome!

I filmed a vlog on my Birthday also! Check it out!!!

DIY Custom Glitter iPhone Case Designs!

I wanted a new case for my phone, wanted something cute and sparkly. I just didn't want to spend more than $5 for a case. I usually by my phone cases on Ebay.

I decided to just make my own, that way I can design it exactly the way I wanted for pretty cheap. But I guess it's only cheaper than buying one if you already happen to have some of the supplies. But I used glitter, they are not that much at Walmart. Just few dollars. They have smaller tubes of it for $0.99. Also used Elmer's Glue which is like a dollar something at Walmart. I already had photo paper and clear see through phone cases. 




I just make my designs in photoshop on some iphone templates then print them out on photo paper. Cut them out, then make sure they fit perfectly into the case I want to use. Then use the glue over the designs where I want glitter. Just sprinkle glitter, spray with fixative then allow to dry. I made one with my logo and some with martini glasses, I thought that would look cute. And of course I used purple glitter in them, especially in the martini glasses! 







I made a video on Youtube showing what I did. Check it out!

New YSL Rouge Pur Couture Lipsticks! (Swatches)

So I was sent a VoxBox from influenster of YSL lipsticks to try. I thought that was cool, these are high end makeup products that normally cost around $36 at Sephora! I received two shades, Fuchsia and Rose Stiletto.

These lipsticks are very creamy and the color just glides onto your lips nice and smoothly. I love the packaging, nice shiny gold cases with YSL on the front. They look expensive!









I also love how YSL is indented into the actual lipstick. Here is the Fuchsia.




The color is bright and vibrant. It's not something I would wear everyday, but I think it's great for a night out or for going to a party!





Here is the Rose Stiletto. Now this one is a color that looks a bit more natural, I could wear it for an everyday look. I actually thought it was going to be a lot darker than it is. But it's very wearable for a daytime look.










Here is my video review on the lipsticks! Please watch, Like and Subscribe!! xo

AALIYAH

Can't believe it's already been 14 years since her death! Aaliyah was one of my favorite singers growing up! I've been a fan since her first album! I loved her style and her voice. She definitely was an inspiration. I still love listening to her music.



I know there's some fans that don't like when others make certain tributes of her, want to dress like her, make transformation videos, or imitate her. They say stuff like "Leave her alone, let her rest in peace". But to me that's some fan's way of showing how much they really appreciate her and she really did inspire them and make an impact on them! It's keeping her legacy alive!

I have also made a few tribute videos of my own in the past. The first is a drawing I did of her in 2011 when it was the 10 year anniversary of her death. I used make a lot of drawings of her as a kid even when she was still alive! The second is a little animation I made of her in college last year. The third one is a hair and makeup tutorial I did of her last year. Check them out below!


My drawing!

There is also a petition started by fans to get an Aaliyah Mac Cosmetics Line. Check out and sign the petition!!! Aaliyah For Mac

Color Changing Nail Polishes From Del Sol

I went to St. Augustine, Florida back at the end of June, I check out the little shops they have. There's a store called Del Sol, it sells things that change color in the sun. There's t-shirts, key chains, accessories, and they had nail polishes! I thought that was so cool, to have your nails change color in the sun. They have a lot of colors, I picked four of them because they were 4 for $30. There's colors that change from yellow to orange, pink to purple, mint to gold, and so on.


I filmed videos showing the process of the color change. I also talked about them in my July Favorites video. Check them out below!





My Everyday Makeup Routine and New Products From Sigma Beauty!

I received some products from Sigma to try out. A few brushes, an eyeshadow and a lip base. The 3D HD kabuki brush is pretty good for applying foundation. With it's angled shape, I just kind of brush and pat at the same time, and it's easy to get into the crevices of your face.

I also really love the eyeshadow. It's called Notre Dame and it's like a deep shimmery brown. Great for an everyday neutral look. I used these products in my everyday makeup routine and made a video of it.


Check out my video!

Andre Lorent Crazy Beautiful Face Cream

I recently did a review on Youtube for Andre Lorent on their Crazy Beautiful Face cream. It's an anti aging cream. I like to use products to prevent wrinkles and I think it's good to start taking care of your skin while you're young before you actually start getting the wrinkles.

I wanted to try this face cream because it has 100's of 5 star reviews on Amazon and it has natural ingredients in it. People say they've noticed results and noticed their wrinkles fading away.

I've only been using it for about a week so far. I don't really have deep lines or wrinkles yet, but when I first apply the cream it feels like my skin is tighter. My skin is not dry because this cream is definitely moisturizing. Also my face feels nice and soft too.

The key ingredients that are in this cream are Argireline, Matrixyl, Hyaluronic Acid, and Vitamin C & E. These are ingredients that firm skin, reduce wrinkles, and add collagen. Hyaluronic Acid is something That our skin naturally has and as we get older it disappears. It's a ingredient that we need to stay in our skin that makes it look younger.

I'm going to continue using this and will maybe update you later on.

Sites to where you can check out the product and learn more.

How I straighten My Hair

Check out my video on how I straighten my curly hair! My hair is natural and it is thick. I blow dry using the tension method. I use a 1 inch flat iron to straighten it.


Uptown Funk

Here's a video I did dancing to Uptown Funk by Bruno Mars. When I thought of doing this video, I couldn't wait to get started!! It took me a week just to film it. I really wanted it to look like a music video, not just a video of me dancing.

I had to do the dance moves over and over again to get different shots, close up and wide with 2 different outfits on. It was a lot of work. And then I spent about another week or so editing, I also had other things going too during my editing time.

I've been really spending a lot of time on my videos lately, I really want them to be good. I did enjoy working on this project and I hope that other people enjoy it and appreciate the amount of production that went into creating this video!


The Sims 2 Let's Play!!!

I've started doing let's plays of The Sims 2. I love The Sims 2, it's still my favorite. I haven't really gotten into playing The Sims 3 or 4 yet. Plus I feel it would be better to get a new computer first, because my macbook is over 4 years old now and it does freeze sometimes while using programs that use a lot of ram and power.

I have The Sims 3 game, but like I said, rather a get a new computer. The Sims 2 is starting to freeze my computer sometimes now. It's really annoying. Hopefully it will continue to work good enough for me to still record Let's plays every now and then.

Anyways, this is part 9 of my Sims 2 series I started. I want to upload them more frequently. Get to know Maya and Jay and check out the rest of the series on Youtube.


Tech Haul- Lighting and Batteries

Here's a tech video for you. I talk about affordable lighting that I bought for filming my videos and batteries for macbook pros and Canon DSLR's.

Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes Tribute

I did a Tribute to TLC's Left Eye back in April. April 25th 2012 was the 10th year Anniversary of her death, so I decided to do a hair and makeup tutorial of her on my Youtube beauty channel and I had also planned to do a new drawing of her, which I haven't done yet. These are the pictures I took, me as Left Eye.














These are a few of the pictures I was inspired by.

Drawing of Dorothy Dandridge

I did a drawing of Dorothy Dandridge, which I did for Black History Month. I kind of struggled with getting her mouth to look right, I kept going back and changing it. This is the best I can get it.

I made a video of me drawing it.
