February 2018 Favorites

I survived my first solo trip! Well barely, I came back from following The Killers around with a gnarly flu and I went straight back to work. This month I've been working like crazy and very sleep deprived but the experience of traveling around and meeting people who are just as crazy about music like me was absolutely incredible. I'm going to have to talk about my experience in a video soon, I also have a ton of vlogs to edit as well. But today I want to share some of the products that I took along with me on my trip, and some other ones that have become staples in my makeup routine.

Anastasia Beverly Hills Subculture Palette- Random Color Challenge

In my last Random Color Challenge, I asked you whether you wanted to see me attempt this challenge with the Anastasia Beverly Hill Subculture Palette or my ColourPop custom palette. I have to say that I was quite surprised to see how many of you wanted to see me use the Subculture Palette. I thought people were still hating on the palette but boooy was I wrong. I took a quick peek at the reviews online and the palette now has four stars on Sephora.com! It's crazy what a few months can do, huh? Well I still adore this palette and I was so happy to try something different with it.

Birchbox January 2018

Soooo last year I sucked when it came to YouTube and I completely neglected my Birchbox series, despite the fact that they're the easiest videos to film. All I do is open the box and react to the five samples I get. I don't really know why I wasn't filming these videos when I received a whole year's worth of samples, but we're now in 2018! This year I'm bringing back the unboxings because I find them very fun to film.

Kat Von D Saint & Sinner- Random Color Challenge Round 3

You guys asked for round three of the Random Color Challenge video and here it is! This is the last challenge video featuring Kat Von D Saint & Sinner Eyeshadow Palette (at least for now because I really want to move on to another palette). I don't think I've had this much fun filming a video series before, but there's just something so exciting about not knowing what colors you're going to be working with. This time around I chose the colors by closing my eyes and sticking little stickers on them. This proved to be much challenging than I thought because my nails kept stabbing the eyeshadows and they're not even that long. I also decided to throw myself a curveball and pick six colors as opposed to five like I've done in the past.

January 2018 Favorites

This is the very first favorites video of 2018! It's been a few months since my last favorites video but I'm committed to share my five standout products every month this year. Yes, the format will not change whatsoever because I really enjoy being able to give you insightful reviews of all five items that I want to feature. This time around I also included clips of me using all the products which I thought would be helpful for all of you. In January I really gravitated towards products that do their job well without any of the extra frills or excessive packaging.
