Hello my beautiful readers! Happy 2014! Here it is, another year! I swear, time keeps flying by faster and faster as I have gotten older. Just wanted to write a quick post wishing you all a wonderful New Year and that I posted a new video on YouTube about my new years resolutions. I hope that you all find inspiration within yourselves and make goals to reach a better and brighter future for yourself. I hope you like the video!
Hola beauties! Here is your weekly dose of Aimee! I decided to do a tag video this week because I know not many people know a lot about me (at least on YouTube). I thought it would be fun for you guys to see more about me than what meets the eye haha.
Let me know what you think! I would love to connect with you!
I am going to write another post separate from this video post.....so make sure you read that post as well!
So....in case you haven't seen, I have started a YouTube channel! I am trying my best to stay on a weekly upload schedule of a new video every Wednesday. YouTube so far has been a great creative outlet for me to be able to express myself and just do something different. When you are a working woman sometimes it is very easy to just get very complacent and just stick to certain activities. You do the same thing day in and day out and you almost begin to accept the fact that your life is much different from when you were more of a "free spirit" during your younger days. I am trying my best to put a fight against having a routine, boring life. I used to be so fearless and I have wondered why that part of me has changed so much. I can understand a little bit because with age I have become a little bit wiser (at least I like to think I have), but I want to bring the FUN back into Aimee. :)
Here are my videos that I have not posted here on my blog in case you would like to check them out! I appreciate your support!
If you wanna know my August Favorites (this is my oldest unlinked video sorry!), watch the video below!
My friend, Mary, and I got together for a fun day of cruising around Santa Barbara and we also watched One Direction's This Is Us together! If you love One Direction, this fangirl video is for you!
Here's my favorite things that I enjoyed last month! Yay for finding products that end up being amazing!
I know so many YouTubers have reviewed the Revlon Matte & Lacquer Balms, but I decided to just show you how to create a simple face to go along with any of the pigmented colors.
Please let me know what you think about my videos! I will gladly welcome any comments whether they are positive, constructive criticism, or you just stopping by to say hello!
Hope you all have had a wonderful weekend and until next time.....
Ello loves (think of me speaking that in my best British accent!)
Here is my newest video! I did a short review on my experience with the Batiste Hint of Colour Dry Shampoo. Didn't have the best experience in the world, so I decided to share my thoughts! I do honestly find it important to "warn" people about everything, not just products that I rave about. Check out the video if you'd like. Maybe I will entertain you with my awesomeness....keyword: maybe ;) Please like, comment, and subscribe! I would love to hear any feedback and I will respond to any suggestions you may have!
My last post was on the Loreal "Magic" eyeshadow primer. We all know how that went; horrible. Or in how I like to spell it; "whoreibble". Since then, I have made it my mission to find a primer that was going to work for my oily eyelids.
I have been watching YouTube videos for many years now and I love the beauty community. I think it is the best thing ever to watch videos and have other girls share their opinions on things to try and what to avoid. Missglamorazzi is one of my favorite YouTubers and she has always raved about the Nars eyeshadow primer. Ingrid has similar skin to mine (oily/combo and oily eyelids). She has always sworn that this product works for her and so I felt pretty confident in trying this primer. I was not disappointed! Sephora was having a 15% off sale so I paid about $22 for the primer. Not too bad. Honestly it is kinda expensive, but I was willing to pay top dollar in order to make sure my eyeshadow stayed put! I have given this primer a few weeks use before writing this post as well and it has not failed me yet. I even slept with my makeup on multiple nights (not ideal/not on purpose...crazy nights hahaha) and to my surprise, my eyeshadow had not moved a muscle. I like how it doesn't feel greasy and it was easy to blend. I also appreciated how it didn't leave any color on my eyelids. Some primers I have used before left a white cast or a shimmer and I personally am not a fan. I just want it to be an invisible barrier that protects my shadows. I didn't experience any creasing which is my biggest problem with eyeshadows. I worked out and perspired a ton and my makeup was still flawless. I could go on and on about how excited I am to finally have found a holy grail product and I would highly recommend this eye primer to anyone who is looking for a product that wont disappoint.
My MYGLAM bag finally came! For those that don't know what MYGLAM is, it is a monthly subscription service that ships products for you to sample each month. You can subscribe month to month or have your account linked to your bank account to automatically have the funds withdrawn each month. It is only $10! And! The shipping is free. MYGLAM was created by my all time favorite Youtube beauty guru, Michelle Phan. (i wrote about her in yesterdays post). What is also nice about MYGLAM is that Michelle and some f my other favorite Youtubers do videos to show how they use the monthly products in their own way. This is my first month that I was able to subscribe. This is the 2nd month MYGLAM has been available, last month they sold out so I wasn't able to get my bag :( but I have seen very many reviews and YouTube videos and I have been so impressed! So far there have been many FULL sized products that cost much much more than the $10 subscription price. All of the products are so high quality which is so nice to be able to try out the products before shelling out the big bucks. I can't wait to test out this months products and let you know what I think about them! My initial reaction to seeing my package was OMG IS THAT A PINK BUBBLE PACKAGE?! It's kinda silly how much I loved how my package came in such a girly and fun package. In the package there were these products: Sheer Cover duo concealer ($29 retail), Wen sweet almond mint cleansing conditioner ($36 retail), Freeman cucumber facial peel off mask ($8 retail), and theBalm cosmetics shady lady eyeshadow($16 retail). I'll try these bad boys out and let you know what I think soon!

Here is my new issue I need to tackle. I need to make sure I force myself to eat breakfast and lunch! Lately I havent been very hungry during the day, but at night I turn into the food monster and want to eat everything in my path. I'll work on that one. Last night I got a good nights sleep, so I am going to repeat that because it made me feel better! Also, since I ate out tonight, I am making myself get up in the morning before work to go for a jog. I'm going on a hike tomorrow after work, and I'm looking forward to it! Pepper loves this hike too so I'm glad she will be able to join me in tackling the mountain. :)
