Everyday Makeup Tutorial (My First YouTube Video)

I feel like for the past year now, I've been telling everyone I'd eventually get around to making YouTube videos, but honestly I didn't know where to start. I've always been better at expressing myself through writing or in person than I have been in video (though this semester's Communications class is likely going to help that). So I've filmed maybe 5-10 different videos that I figured I'd use as my "First Video". But none of them felt like what I wanted my channel to be, which is an extension of my blog, not the other way around. So I finally did it, I filmed a video, edited it, and posted it a few days ago. Of course I've got 11 views cause god knows how many videos there are doing an "Everyday Makeup Tutorial". Just do me a favor, watch it, let me know what you think, what you'd like to see more of, and maybe what looks from my Instagram or blog you'd like to see done as a tutorial. My new schedule is going to be makeup tutorial every Monday and blog post every Thursday. Surely, there must be a limit to how many tutorials someone can watch. But I say, let's follow the Mean Girls motto on this one.

40 Beauty Questions Tag!

Wow so I'm a hella lazy person, if you don't know me in real life. Which means rather than take a million and twelve pictures for a new post I'm just gonna answer a beauty tag and use some funny as heck gifs.

5 Things Not To Say To A Makeup Addict

5. "Don't You Have Enough Makeup?"

Don't you have enough air?

4. "I don't like girls who wear a lot of makeup."

3. "That's such a waste of money!"

2. "Why buy high end when there's Walmart?"

Although Walmart does sell good drugstore makeup at a better price than places like Ulta.

1. "It's not a legitimate thing to collect."

Oh My Lash Desiree Lash Review

The best pair of lashes for a dramatic look that I own; the Desiree lashes. I bought the Barbara lashes from Oh My Lash as well but haven't put them on yet. These are definitely not as natural, but I still enjoy them for daytime wear. They seem to be much softer than the JoJo lashes, though are made of the same synthetic material. 

They have a gentle wing shape which really helps to create that desired eye shape (Desiree, desire... ehehehe...) When it comes to comfort and feel I definitely recommend these over the JoJo lashes on that, but they definitely aren't for the people who don't like to look of false lashes. I also think these need a bolder liner to help hide the band, as it seemed to be much more visible. For $2.25, these are definitely a compliment to any look you want to take to the next level.

We are dorks and I somehow lost my chin.

Disclaimer: This post does contain affiliate links so if you choose to buy I make a bit of money. Also, I got these lashes to review for free but that doesn't mean that I'm gonna be nice for that reason. People who do that aren't good. No. Bad people. 

Makeup Addicts Anonymous

Hi my name is Rhi and I'm an addict.

Right now my makeup wish list totals over 1000 dollars.

Yet every time I go into a makeup store I take all day deciding.

And I spend days adding/removing stuff from my cart.

Deluxe sized samples instead of foil packets are a gift from the good Lord himself.

The easiest thing for me to ask for is gift cards.

Pretty packaging is my weakness.

Makeup collection videos are my drug of choice.

If they had a show of Hoarders for makeup I'd be on it.

But it's all okay, because I'm a blogger.

Dear Boys, I Don't Wear My Makeup For You

There I said it. I'm not taking it back either. Jokes like "This is why I have trust issues" or "Take her swimming on a first date" kinda infuriate me to be honest. I don't spend 3/4 of the money I make on makeup to impress a guy. Or anyone else. My makeup is for me.
