Gifts from the UK

A few weeks ago my boyfriend and I received a box filled with both makeup and food from our friend, Sofia. We started talking around 6 years ago through Twitter, she began following me after watching one of my videos about The Killers. Yes, before I began making beauty videos I started off as a music vlogger. Recently one of our favorite things to talk about is about makeup, we'll even share pictures of our "makeup of the day" with one another. Since we live in two different countries we decided to exchange gifts with items that we can't get in our respected countries. Orlando and I sent her a box full of makeup, American chocolate, and Mexican goodies. Today as a bonus blog post, I'm going to share some of the makeup items that I received.

Color Scheme | Plum

My first color scheme blog post went so well that I decided to do another one for you. This time around I'm going to be focusing on the color for fall- plum. When it comes to fall trends, plum is a color that comes back in style time and time again. By now it is a color that is attached to the fall season and with good reason, it is universally flattering. Just like the fruit, the colors that fall under plum range from dark to a very warm purple hue. I will be showing you blush, lip colors, eyeshadows, eyeliner, and a nail polish in this blog post. And just like in the peach blog post there's going to be something for everyone's budget. Let's now take a bite out of fall's juiciest color.

Face of the Day | Plum Lips

You might be wondering "where were you last week?" If you follow me on Facebook or Twitter then you would that my MacBook Pro was acting up a lot. The trackpad began having problems on Monday and I couldn't do anything with my laptop because the cursor just wouldn't select anything. To top things off my card reader wouldn't let me import pictures, so as you can tell I had an very off week with technology. But being disconnected from the blogging and YouTube world worked wonders on me. For once, I was finally able to rest and think about some great ideas for upcoming posts and videos which has been really tough for me recently. I am happy to say that everything is back to normal with my laptop (thank you Apple!) and I got a new card reader which seems to be working great, so now I'm going to show you a face of the day which was meant to go up last week.

Makeup Swap with Sarah S

I have another makeup swap to share with you! Today I have a UK-USA makeup swap with my friend Sarah who lives in England. I sent her some of my favorite drugstore makeup that she either can't get or is hard to find in England, and she sent me some British and European products that I can't find here. Not only was I super excited when I was opening the package but I went a little swatch crazy, so you'll have to go watch the video to find out what I got from Sarah.
