Chit Chat Product Update + Makeup Tut | Elf Mad for Matte2, BROW GEL Color Correcting Stick Kathleen


After using a lot of these products, I’ve been wanting to do an update video to show how I feel about most of the products I’ve reviewed on my channel, how I currently use them, and feel about them now. I feel like videos like these are really needed especially since I’m encouraging other people to purchase the same items, it would be good to share more tips on those products, or even for you all to share how you use them as well with others. Let me know if y’all would like to see more videos like this. #morphebrushes #kathleenlights #elfcosmetics #elflockonliner

ebay Find $7.21 SILICONE CURLY HAIR DIFFUSER: How to quickly get Curly Hair + more VOLUME!

So I've been wanting to test this silicone diffuser for my hair dryer out ever since I saw another youtuber using it in a video. I couldn't find the video to find the exact product, so I looked it on on ebay to see if I could find the cheaper alternative, verses amazon. This is just an emergency alternative for when I need to wash my hair but need to head out the same day.

NEW Nars Soft Matte Complete Concealer + Stick Concealer & Radiant Creamy Concealer!

I've recently become a fan of using Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer. One was a sample size from Sephora, and the other from Sochoix, which I was very pleasantly surprised. I look forward to adding more of their makeup products to my collection, especially their Nars Glow Foundation.

Wet N Wild New Mega Cushion Color Correctors + Contour & Highlight Products

http://www.wetnwildbeauty.com/new/megacushion-color-corrector-927.html#sm.0000ia4gmaohrdvltul29mnc21mvlhttp://www.wetnwildbeauty.com/new/megacushion-contour-cafe-au-slay-928.html#sm.0000ia4gmaohrdvltul29mnc21mvl







Now, I'm kinda excited about these color correctors. The only issue I see with this is they left out the deep orange shade to color correct dark discoloration on deeper skin tones, but I don't recall Wet N Wild having any color correcting shade in that color, but who knows, they're becoming more up-to-date with their products.

If you've tried these out, I would love to hear your thoughts on them. Click on images to see product on Wet N Wild's website.

Maybelline The Colossal Big Shot Mascara Review | IS IT WORTH YOUR MONEY


So I received this in a voxbox from Influenster recently, and these opinions are my own. I tested this mascara out 2 times prior to this video, and one more time yesterday, and I was just unhappy with it. I think if your lashes sit up naturally, you will do better with a mascara like this, to create the volume you want. That's if you like clumpy eyelashes.

How to Get Your SPIRIT & MIND on the RIGHT Track in 2017 using the Power of "I AM"

I've been practicing this for a while, but the last time I truly practiced this, besides writing in a journal, was over 3 years ago. I ran across some videos on YouTube that totally reminded me of creating my list of affirmations using the power of "I Am" or "I Have" to speak positive words into existence, and not just negative words and thinking, and it ALL involves GOD... My favorite part, unlike The Secret, which makes it seem mysterious. I'm going to leave an audio video down below of "The Game of Life, and how to play it" by Florence Scovel. Totally worth listening to over and over and over until it sinks into your mind and heart. There's a noted fact that it takes over 16 times for something to become a habit or become embedded in you. That could be working out 16 times consecutively, to better eating habits, to listening to a song before you learn the lyrics(whether you like it or not.) Something to think about.

How to Keep your Makeup more Matte, get Clear & Firm Skin using Fruit of the Earth Aloe Vera Gel



So I've been meaning to do this video for a while, about why I use Aloe Vera plus Oily Skin Tips to keep your Makeup more Matte. Doesn't mean you will remain matte, but you will produce less oil on your skin through out the day. When ever I try to switch to use some of my other creams and wear makeup on top of it, I end up looking like an oil slick, verses just looking oil/moist. I also share some other tips and things I noticed in my 2 years of wearing foundation. This is my personal experience.

Don't let your 1st steps in 2017 determine all of it

For some, the year has not started with all #fireworks. I want to say, don’t be discouraged by what the 1st day of #newyears started out as. Allowing the 1st day to determine the rest of your year like choosing to crawl into a hole and expecting the world to come and find you. It won’t. Decide to keep moving forward, no matter how things may seem difficult. Remember, all things happen for the good of those who #loveGod. That doesn’t mean only good things happen, but eventually, things will start to come together. #stayprayerful #stayencouraged #readpositivebooks #positivebooks #readthebible #seekGodfirst in all you do.

Outre Quick Weave Eco Wig ROZ Dark Root Green Review - 3 STYLES samsbeauty.com



I’ve been wanting to try some color, but of course, not on my own hair. In the past, I’ve been one of those people that love to just chop and experiment with my hair. I’ve come to learn over the past couple of years, why mess up your hair when you can just buy a wig, and voila! all your problems are solved. When it comes to hair of course. :) Hopefully in 2017, I’ll get this whole lighting thing down packed.  Thank you for bearing with me.
