There's More to Me than Makeup

Hi lovelies!

So, I decided to do a video for my YouTube subscribers and thought I would post it here as well. I want all of you to know that there is more to me than makeup, as the title of this post would suggest. In the video I give you guys a little peak to who I am. Hope you enjoy!

Face of the Day-: Neutral with Hints of Coral

Hey there lovlies!

So I went on a little bit of coral kick today and decided to try out some corals in my makeup.

If you don't know already, I am very much a neutral kind of a girl when it comes to my makeup. So this look was a real step out of the box for me, but I loved the way it turned out. I also think that a look like this is very easy to pull of in a work setting.

The lighting is seriously washing out the colors. Will definitely work on that in the future.

Commencing Project 10 Pan!

Hey lovelies!

So I have been thinking about doing this for some time now, but have never had the courage to do it.

A Couple of days ago I finally went through my collection and found some things that I was close to finishing or just wanted out of my collection. I filmed and posted a video on my YouTube page, thus making it official. I will not buy any makeup until I have finished (completely) 10 products in my collection....Wow, just writing that sentence was hard.

As I say in my video, I will be making an exception for the mac surf baby collection, just because I have been saving money for some of the products since I say the swatches. other than that, no makeup will be purchased.

Ahhh!!! Wish me luck!

Haul/ Review: Hard Candy Fox in Box Blushes (+ swatches)

Hey there lovelies!

First off, sorry for being gone for so long. I just got so consumed with my youtube channel for a bit, and then school, and then personal stuff. Life has really been crazy for me since August.

Anyway, on to the good stuff.

A couple of weeks ago I bought the Hard Candy Fox in a Box blushes. I had heard so much about them on youtube and thought I might as well give them a try.

You can find these blushes at Walmart and walmart.com where, as of right now, they are $6 each for 5.7g of product. There are five colors of these bronzing duos and blushing quads available covering a pretty decent color spectrum. I was surprised to see such bright pinks and orange shades in this line because those are generally harder to find in a drugstore brand.

I picked up Hot Flash, Smooth Talker, and Skinny Dipping. I have to say that for the price these are fantastic! All of the shades are very pigmented and have great staying power. I can apply these shades in the morning before classes and easily make it through the day with minimal fading. From the three that I have, I can say that there is a nice mix of matte and shimmer shades to choose from. Skinny Dipping comes with both a matte and a shimmer portion, so its like a blush and a highlight combined in one. When I say shimmer, I mean when applied its more like a sheen as opposed to large chunks of glitter on your face.

Overall, I think these are fantastic and I definitely recommend them to anyone who wants to try.

Now on to the Swatches!! (I apologize for the blurriness in advanced)

Hello Lovelies!

So I have decided to take another large jump into the world of Internet communication. Blogging! If you would have asked me a few months ago if I would would have ever imagined having a blog and a YouTube channel I would have said "Heck No!" Well, look at me now!

Any who, I guess I will start off with an introduction to myself. I am a sophomore in college and I got really bored at the beginning of this summer. I started watching makeup videos to pass the time...Well here I am now! I have expanded my makeup collection and have started experimenting. I love it!

I have no idea what this blog will evolve into, all I know is I am super pumped to see where it does end up going and I look forward to sharing what little knowledge of everything beauty and life related with all of you.

I look forward to posting more in the future!
Check out my YouTube channel in the meantime: www.youtube.com/makeupbaby2010

Much Love,
Meagan
