Hey guys! Sorry I've been MIA for so long, lots of things have been happening at work at in life and stuff.
But the best thing so far that I have decided for my blog's sake and my YouTube Channel is....
I'm finally investing in a Digital SLR camera! Black Friday here I come....
*Insert crowd cheering noises here**
Here's what I'm planning on getting: The Canon Rebel T3i
What I love and what I NEED is that awesome flip out screen so I can see what I am doing and what my lighting looks like. So unlike this video I just filmed for you below: I will be able to SEE when I'm out of frame!
But watch this video below if you are in need of a laugh. Cause I'm pretty silly here!
It's Thirsty Thursday! Or wait...is it Taco Thursday? Nope, that's not it either. Oh I got it!
It's THROWBACK THURSDAY!
For those of you who don't know what that is, it's an opportunity to find a photo from a long time ago and revive it for the world to see! (I hope my friend Jenna doesn't mind I shared this photo. I think she looks super pretty in it anyway. LOVE YOU JENNA!)
These two pictures are from my college days. The photo at the left is Jenna and I at the Rodeo. The photo on the right is the same year I believe and I was going to a wedding.
Ahh College....those were the days...
Anyway, let's get down to the beauty business shall we?
This review is on the Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stains.
According to the Revlon website: " It’s a pampering balm fused with a
lightweight lipstain in an adorable chubby crayon. Just Bitten Kissable
Balm Stain gives softer, smoother lips with a perfect flush of color
that lasts hour after hour.
The gel formula comes in 12 vibrant shades that match any look or mood."
These are the five shades I currently own
Left to Right: Precious, Smitten, Crush, Cherish, Honey
Here it is swatched on my hand. PS Do you love this chain bracelet I just got? http://shopglamcandy.com/collections/bracelets/products/brittany-chains. So affordable, this bracelet was only $15. This is an awesome website and I highly recommend anyone checking it out. The holidays are almost here...
Let's discuss them left to right as seen on the photo above:
Crush: A deep wine or plum color. This color is perfect for fall. Pair it with a neutral eye or with a light smoky eye.
Smitten: A deep pink or magenta color. Pops when applied on the lips. Are you feeling bold and funky? Then add this color to ANY look!
Cherish: Lighter pink. A simpler feminine color for those who just want a touch of color to the lip.
Honey: A deep nude-pink. Has darker tones to it.
Precious: A nude color. Pair this with your intense smoky eye or any look where the eyes are the emphasis. Add a gloss to give it a more girly look
These balm stains are exactly what they say they are. They are very moisturizing and do leave a stain after a days wear. You do not need gloss unless you like the shiny look it gives, the balm stains are moisturizing enough. Every color is just BEAUTIFUL. Hence the reason I have 5!
I highly recommend these to anyone out there looking for an awesome new product and perhaps who don't like lipstick. I'm not a GIANT lipstick person, I much prefer this over any of my M.A.C lipsticks. The pigmentation in these balm stains is just phenomenal.
Where can you get these?Almost anywhere: Wal-Mart, Target, Wal-Greens, Rite Aid, CVS, etc.
How much? 7.49 at Target/ 9.49 at CVS. (Why did I pay so much at CVS?)
Amelia's Grade: A+
Hope you all are having a fantastic November so far! Let me know if you have tried any of these?
XOXO,
Amelia St. John
Don't forget you can watch/subscribe to me on YouTube at:
I've been trying to break onto the YouTube scene for awhile. But I just haven't gotten my act together. Well now people, now I have got it together all right!
But I need your help! I need you to watch, to share, to comment and question, make suggestions, whatever! I mean, yes I do LOVE to make videos, edit and share with you guys. But if I'm the only one watching them, well I know what I can do.
What is unique? Do you watch YouTube? What would you like to see from me regarding my channel? I am going to stay in the Health and Beauty category, because it's what I know.
But what would interest you? What would make you say "hey I wanna subscribe to this girl and tell all my friends" ?
Here is my FIRST video I made Friday Night titled: October Fashion Haul (it's really funny too!)
This one I made today and it's called: "Amelia's Empties"
I know I'm still pretty green at this. But I have so so many ideas for my channel and for new videos. Please show your girl some support by subscribing to my youtube channel, "thumbs up" liking my videos, and passing the word along. Just cut and paste a video url and paste that puppy onto your FB or twitter wall!
Thanks to you all so much for being the worlds greatest friends and family!
So my phone has been a sad sight lately. Its cracked and broken and dejected. But it functions for me and I'm O.K as long as it works.
But yesterday I met up with a friend and she had this awesome cell phone case that she wasn't using. So she offered to let me have it. At first I was like "ha ha, that's so funny I'm just going to goof off with it for awhile" .
But now, I actually adore it. I want to show it off to the world. Even my boss loves it. I thought you guys would love it too!
It's plastic and huge. It's like typing on a mini iPad because your hand sort of rests on the arms and legs while you text or dial. But I dig it!
ADDED BONUS: you can always find your phone in your purse!
This site www.ioffer.com also has a bunch of other rad cell phone cases that I love as seen below:
None of these are more than $25 I don't believe.
But this site is pretty awesome, I think a lot of the stuff is knock-off of real designer quality stuff, but with the holidays right around the corner, I think this site offers a lot of really nice gifts that are within an affordable price.
Just a little fashion blog from your truly,
Gonna go call someone on my kick-ass teddy bear phone,
Later Skaters,
XOXO,
Amelia St. John
