My first swap!

Happy new year, fellow beauty lovers!  Thank you for the few of you that offered your input to my humble little blog.  I've been asked to do a little more of everything, and I'll try my very best to do that to break up the long chain of FOTD posts that I do.  It's hard to not wear makeup everyday now because I have to be professional now and look like I know what I'm doing.  Don't get me wrong, I love makeup.  I just like to give my face a rest sometimes.  But with all the makeup application, I end up having a lot to post about, hahaha.

I've rambled on as usual.  Allow me to tell you about the conditions of this swap.  I met Kristine, the makeup artist I currently work with, at a wedding back in September.  She was, of course, doing makeup and I was assisting a hairdresser at the time.  We clicked right away.  I found out she made beauty videos on Youtube, hence the same blogging/vlogging mindset we both had.  She suggested we do a swap.  I agreed immediately, but suggested we do a used item swap since I'm lacking funds and I have tons of makeup I don't use.  She agreed, and we swapped the items in person a few months later.  I made my first Youtube video in about two years to film the swap.  She filmed a video about the items I got her as well.  I will post both videos down below.

Now as for my part, I was a little sugar high when I filmed it.  I didn't realize how ridiculous I was being until I watched it a few hours later.  Naturally, I uploaded it anyway.




And here is Kristine's video:


I may or may not continue doing videos.  It would probably help with my public speaking skills.  Anyways, hope you guys enjoy!

UK/USA Swap Anyone?

Hey everyone!

So ever since I saw the release of the By 3 Blush Trios from Sleek, I knew I had to have them.  I was just about to place an order for them on the Sleek website (despite my makeup buying ban, I know I know) but I figured it would be more fun to do a swap.  If anybody from the UK is interested in getting some items from the states, let me know!  If I don't get any response in about a week or so, I'll probably go ahead and buy the blush palettes.

Thankies :D!
