Kat Von D Saint & Sinner- Random Color Challenge Round 2

Since I filmed the first round of the Random Color Challenge, I've received so many requests to do a second round using the Kat Von D Saint & Sinner Eyeshadow Palette. I honestly never expected for the video to gain 7,000+ views, let alone get requests to do a second video with the same palette. I honestly I don't blame any of you though, this was definitely one of the palette launches that left a lot of people scratching their heads when they first saw the colors and the layout. This time around I let a computerized generator that I found through Google pick the five colors I would use in this video.

Kat Von D Saint & Sinner- Random Color Challenge

I'M WEARING RED EYESHADOW! And you know what... I really love it. When I first saw images of the Kat Von D Saint & Sinner Eyeshadow Palette, I knew it would be something that I would eventually would want to pick up. Flash forward to a few months later when the palette finally launched and that's little ol' me started feeling very doubtful about the palette. What is someone like me supposed to do with bright colors like chartreuse, yellow gold, and a metallic red? I mean, we're talking about the girl who usually skips eyeshadows and goes for a bold lip instead. I play around with color once in awhile, but never with bright shades like the ones on this palette. After a little pep talk with my co-worker Phoebe, I decided that I should step out of the comfort zone and buy the damn palette. And in order to prove to myself that I can use those crazy shades, I've challenged myself to create a look on the spot using five colors that I chose at random.

Trying Canadian Candy

It all started a few weeks ago when I was really bored at Sam's Club in Tijuana, I thought it would be a good idea to snap about my favorite Mexican candy since I do have many followers that live outside of the U.S. and Mexico. I gave my Snapchat homies (yes, that's how I call my followers) a rundown on my favorite Mexican candy and tried my best to describe what they taste like. This caught the attention of my friend and fellow blogger/vlogger, Maria Medeiros and she suggested the idea of doing a candy swap. I've never done anything like this before on my YouTube channel, so I was totally on board for a little Mexican to Canadian candy exchange.

Full Face Highlight Challenge

Who hasn't dreamed of wearing nothing but highlighter? I know I have! A few weeks ago 18 year-old aspiring MUA Mariya recorded a full face makeup tutorial using nothing but highlighters. And as you can probably imagine, the video quickly went viral thanks to Buzzfeed and social media. Now this isn't exactly an everyday look, but it's so much fun to play around with makeup. Participating in this challenge reminded me of why I fell in love with makeup in the first place. It's very easy to play it safe, but experimenting with new trends or techniques can be a ton of fun. I definitely have Mariya to thank for encouraging the makeup community to have fun and embrace their inner disco ball.

Is Social Media Fake?

Ever since Australian blogger and YouTuber, Essena O'Neill, published her heartfelt video about why she quit social media there's been a conversation about whether or not social media is fake. I've seen many people discredit O'Neill's claims and experiences, but to be honest no one but her knows what she went through. To most of us social media provides us with a platform to share our interests and meet people, but we also have to be completely honest with ourselves and admit that there are aspects that are a little fake. I was recently tagged to participate in the Stripped Down Challenge, which is a series of videos aiming to prove that social media is in fact not fake. The video contains over 10 minutes of raw, unfiltered, and unedited footage about my thoughts about social media and Essena O'Neill. Unlike other people who have participated in this challenge, I will not be bashing O'Neill for her own personal experience about the topic.

Mixed Up Makeup Challenge

I'm sure you were scared by this image, I know I was. Let me introduce you to this weird challenge video that will guarantee a hot mess look everytime. The Mixed Up Makeup Challenge is quite a popular video in the Spanish speaking community, in fact I was tagged by three people- that's how popular it is. The rules are simple, you will have one cup with little strips of paper with the makeup products that you use on your face. The other cup will hold strips of paper with the parts of your face written on them. All you have to do is get a strip of paper from each cup and then apply said product on whatever part of your face that the other strip says. Sometimes you may get lucky, but most times you'll end up getting something extremely weird like the mascara as a lip liner that I had to unfortunately apply. If you want to see me look like a hot mess, then this video is for you!

The Jelly Bean Challenge!

If you don't spend too much time on YouTube I would like to tell you a thing or two about the Bean Boozled challenge. Jelly Belly has a few boxes that contain weird and normal flavors with the tagline "dare to compare." Well my boyfriend and I gladly took the challenge which consisted of us tasting booger, barf, and baby wipe flavored jelly beans. It was an interesting video to film to say the least, and by far the funniest thing that I've ever recorded on my channel. So, how did we do? You'll have to watch the video to find out.

The 3 minute makeup CHALLENGE!

I did the 5 minute makeup challenge a couple of weeks ago and that wasn't a complete failure, so for some reason I thought I would be the perfect contender for the 3 minute challenge. Did I fail? Was there another foundation problem? I guess you'll have to watch the video to find out.

The 5 minute makeup CHALLENGE!

I saw the 5 minute challenge around YouTube and decided to give it a go. When I was watching the videos I was like "Man, I can do this. It looks so easy!" But try it for yourself and you'll see that 5 minutes really isn't much time to do anything, especially when you're used to taking your time. Click below to see how well (or bad) I did in 5 minutes.
