My Christmas Wish List!!!

2011-12-12T17:11:00.000-08:00

AHHHH!!!! Christmas is officially in less than 2 weeks!! Can you believe it? Crazzyyy!! Well I figured I would do a Christmas Wish list just like I did last year. However this time I'm writing it here on my blog instead of making a video. The reason why?? Cause I really want to start blogging more! Sounds like a good enough reason to me. Soooooo I'm going to tell you the things that I would like! But first.....YOU have to comment below and tell me what YOUR wish list is!! :)

#1) Disneyland Annual Pass!

If you watched my "Christmas Haul" last year,

(( Here's the link:::http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A6IoESNrPRc )) you know that I got this as a present from my parents last year. BEST PRESENT EVER!! Santa is going to renew my pass again this year for me..but even though I know I'm getting it...it's still what I want the most!

#2) My Personal Studio / Lighting!

I am really ready to "upgrade" my quality of videos! You guys deserve it, and I really do love making videos for all of you. We have a spare room in the house that I am able to make into a guest room/ mini studio! The right lights and equipment make all the difference. They can get pretty expensive too! So I'm sure Santa doesn't mind if I ask him for it!

#3) Laptop Case!

I saw this online at VictoriasSecret.com and I fell in love! I don't have my own laptop yet, but I'm getting it soon. That pink case is calling my name!!!! It was on clearance for only $20! So I hinted to my family that I would love something like this. hehe

#4) Swizzle Chair!

Some of you right now are like..huh? lol I was at Marshalls with my sister the other day and I fell in love with this chair! I couldn't find any pics online of one similar to it. It looked like a nice studio / salon chair. If you didn't know, the chair I've been using for the past 2 years at my makeup desk is a drum set seat. I would love to have a nice looking chair in my room that turns all the way around and that I could use for filming!

#5) Clothing Rack!

Again, you guys are starting to figure out that it doesn't take much to get me excited! lol I asked Santa for a clothing rack! hahahaha They're like $10 at target..although the better quality the more expensive. I just want a little one so when I film outside I have something to hold the extra clothes. That way I can stop having to go back and forth to the house. I have no idea exactly where it will fit in my room, but I still really want it. Also when I buy stuff, I can hang it on there for inspiration!

#6) Fashion Mannequin

You can't tell me this isn't the cutest thing ever! I would love to have one of these in my room! I haven't found one that I absolutely love tho. I do want it to be a black wire like this I think. Either way I think these are a great accessory to add to a room.. ((if you love fashion lol))

#7) New editing software!

Bet you didn't know I like to edit videos huh? haha jk! but yes, I would really like to have a new editing software!I currently use iMovie, but it's the 08 version. I heard they're coming out with a new iMovie 11. hmmm maybe once I get my laptop that'll be in my new pink victoria's secret case, I can get it! lol

#8) ....

The last thing I would absolutely LOVE to have for Christmas..is something money can't buy. It's actually something from all of you! I would be so happy to get 20,000 subscribers by Christmas!! Right now I have a little over 18,000. You have no idea how excited I would be! If you're not already you should subscribe to my Beauty Channel::: http://www.youtube.com/user/macbby11 and follow me here on this blog! If you are already, then please tell all your friends to subscribe :)

Hope you liked this! Before any of you ask, I will FOR SURE be doing another Christmas "Haul" this year. I hate calling it that (since it really isn't me showing you what I bought) but that's just what everyone knows it as. Those are my favorite videos to watch! Again, let me know what YOUR Christmas wish list is for this year in the comments below! Thanks for reading!

2011-07-22T16:22:00.000-07:00

I absolutely LOVE this dress! It is so comfortable, but the best part is that it looks like it is way more expensive than a dress from Forever21. I've already gotten compliments on it and asking where I bought it! Have any of you ever lied about where you bought something? I was so tempted to make up a fake designer name and say it was from there. HaHa It looks like it could easily be from a designer label!

Dress - Forever21 $27.99

Tank Dress - H&M $12.99

2011-03-14T15:22:00.000-07:00

I love this look! Even if you don't wear much bright colors for eyeshadow, this is a great way to slowly introduce yourself to eyeshadows with color. Dark Blue's and Purple's are my favorite to use as a smokey eye with color. ((they're more of the wearable colors opposed to say, bright orange))

Viva Glam GAGA Reveiw!

2011-03-09T14:30:00.000-08:00

This pic is of the original Viva Glam Gaga lipstick and lipglass! I Absolutely LOVE this! It's a pretty bubblegum pink with you can wear boldly or you can tone it down by applying very little pressure. I ALWAYS get compliments whenever I wear it too! My favorite part of it is the blue undertones make your teeth look really white! Which is always a plus. I have heard that some people don't like this color on their skin tone. I have light skin and it looks great on me. I'm not sure how it would look on darker skin. It may look like a crayon barbie pink. Over all I absolutely LOVE this! I'm hoping to get the 2nd collection of hers with MAC, but until then I'll have to stick with this one...lol

<33 ya guys!

Update! March Madness, 10K, Birthday!

   Can you guys believe it's already going to be MARCH!?!?! crazyyyy talk!! haha I felt so weird putting up my february favorites. These months are going by so fast. March is one of my busiest months out of the year. I have 4 competitions through my school, a wedding, fundraising, cheer, work, school, and then preparing for my trip on April 3rd. I'm going on a missions trip to Costa Rica!! Exciting, but I'm no where near ready for it. There's still way too much planning.

   Ooo my birthday is also coming up! April 5th! That's exciting too! Although, I'll be outta the country for it..but that's ok! I think I'm going to ask for a new camera. It would make filming much more easier. lol but we'll see. My little Flip Ultra is still working fine. haha

Now let's talk YouTube!! I am ALMOST to 10,000 subscribers!! AHH!! I can't believe it! Thank you all SO much..u don't even know how much it means to me.. =D With reaching this subscriber milestone, I think a giveaway is a must! Let me know of any ideas you guys have. Any specific products that you would like to see!? Oh and also any video requests? Just let me know!

Thanks for reading guys! I'm going to take some pics of the tutorial I just filmed and then edit the footage!!! Luv u ALL!!! *Muah

Giving Into Impulse Buying!

2011-02-22T14:41:00.000-08:00

Do you guys ever give into those random impulses to buy stuff while shopping? I rarely ever do, because I hate wasting money..and I know it will just sit in my closet collecting dust with lots of my other clothes. but....but...BUT THEY'RE SO CUTE!!!!!!!!

When I saw these shoes at Wet Seal...I had to have them! I pictured them with tights and a dress, or with some skinnies! Either way they're so cute. They were $34 , which is a lot for me, because I usually find shoes for really cheap. Then I thought about it, and $34 is cheap to a lot of other people. So I bought them! It's ok to splurge every once in awhile!

Do you guys ever give into those impulse buys?!

If so...what was it?

Christmas Shopping + Sales People!

2010-11-23T19:09:00.000-08:00

I absolutely love christmas shopping! I get so excited for my family and friends to open the gifts I got for them. It sounds cliche, but it is so true that giving is better than getting! Anyways, today was my first time shopping for christmas presents this year! So exciting!!! lol I still need ideas for gifts to get my boyfriend, mom and brother. Let me know in the comments below!! Today I got my sister some cute heels and a pea coat...then for my dad I got him 3 sweaters / shirts...thats all...but one of those makeup kiosk things sucked me in tho...next think I knew this lady had me sitting in the chair for a demo.

all that was going through my head was.... "I dont like mineral makeup, I like my mac!" "I'm aware that they have chemicals in it" "Dont tell me my skin is dry when I know its oily!" "I know what a moisturizer is" "I have a feeling I know way more about makeup than you" "You're about to use a dirty brush on my skin aren't you" "Yup" "IT"S SCRATCHY!!" hahaha

I told her that "I'd think about it" isn't it funny how just about everyone says that..haha classic go to line right? lol So I left...then purposely went on the upper level to pass her again...

one time I was with my friend shopping and a phone service guy asked if she wanted to sign up for a plan or whatever and she says ((quite loudly)) "I'M ALLERGIC TO SHOES!!!" and runs off......ahhahahahaha I started laughing SO hard the guys face was priceless.....gah SALES PEOPLE!! Do you have any funny stories you'd like to share?!?!?!?!

MakeupForever Smoky Lash Mascara Review!

2010-09-21T15:26:00.001-07:00

This is my ALL TIME FAVORITE MASCARA!
((well of the moment!)) 
I haven't found a mascara that I like more than this one. My lashes  are very average. They are an average length and an average thickness.  The main thing I would like my lashes to be are THICK! I absolutely LOVE  voluminous lashes. The biggest problem though with wanting thick lashes  is that most mascara's make them look very voluminous but CLUMPY!!
Let me tell you, this mascara makes your lashes VERY voluminous, long  and even curled a little, but NOT AT ALL CLUMPY!!! That is exactly what I  look for in a mascara, and this is the only mascara (that I have found)  that is what I want! I was skeptical on it at first because I never  really buy high end mascara's, because I have always heard that  drugstore ones are just as good. I found that to be true for awhile, but  now I will definitely repurchase this item! ((that is a big thing for  me to repurchase a mascara that is around $20)) 
Another thing I was skeptical about is if this mascara would have  much staying power. The name 'Smoky Lash' made me think it would be easy  for it to smudge everywhere. I was wrong again. I have CRIED with this  mascara on and you couldn't even tell I had cried! It didn't come off at  all! Amazing!!
Over all, this mascara gets a 5 out of 5 stars from me!! Way worth the money!!  
You can purchase it from any sephora.
Let me know what YOU guys think of this mascara in the comments!!!  <33

Doll Eyes!

2010-09-06T17:49:00.000-07:00

The "Doll Eyes" are always very popular! Whether it's very dramatic for a halloween party or a toned down version of it for everyday! (( tone down the cheeks and lips if it's for an everyday look)) Needless to say I absolutely LOVE this look. I get compliments on my eyes anytime I do this trick, and all it is is EYELINER!!! Apply a white eyeliner on the water line and put black eyeliner on the outer upper and lower lash line! After that, just apply your mascara (( and false lashes for a more dramatic look )) then your done!!! That's pretty much it! Adding some shimmery white eyeshadow on the eyes also helps make your eyes appear more "open / awake"

I'll post a tutorial on this look later this week! Be sure to check it out on my YouTube channel!

WISH LIST!!!! 8/31

2010-08-31T16:44:00.000-07:00

I always love watching people's current wish lists that they have...It's like a haul but then...not! haha anyways my wish list has stayed the same for awhile now. As many of you know, [[and some of you don't]] I love collecting purses and have always wanted a Louis Vuitton! They're so classy and durable! I know people who have had their one Louis for YEARS! They really do last that long because they are made to last! I always figured they were so expensive to even bother looking at them, but then another "youtuber" got one and they said the price and it was less than what I expected! I was planning on buying the Louis Vuitton Speedy 30.. but then when I looked them up online for about 30 dollars more I could get the Speedy 35! [[ if I'm going to spend that much money on a purse I might as well spend a little more for a bigger one! ]] lol So here is a picture of the Speedy 35!

Isn't it amazing??!! lol well let me tell u the price isn't!!! I'm purposely saying this next part for all those haters out there....My parents would NEVER EVER...buy me an expensive purse.... especially a louis vuitton! So in June I decided to be serious about it and SAVE $$$ I worked all summer around 30 hours a week... and I put aside $100 from each paycheck....my goal was to make the purse a highschool graduation gift to myself for this next June..but now it may be able to be my Christmas present to myself!! The good part about saving your own money for a long time gives you time to really think about a big spending decision!! <-- just a tip from me to you! lol well that's all my rambling for this post! Luv you guys!
