Things Are Changing!

As some of you may have already noticed, things are changing on my channel and social media. Everything is becoming more personal as I'm trying to get away from mybeautytips101. It has come to my attention that I don't just like beauty and what not but I also have a variety of interests and that I would like to post those on my videos. I find that if I have the mybeautytips101 then everything on that channel needs to be about beauty. I want my channel to be about everything that I like and I don't want people to associate my channel with just that. I will still do somethings that may be beauty related but I don't want to be restricted to just that. With that being said, here are some of the things that I have changed when it comes to my name:

Thank you all for taking this journey with me. If you still need to contact me through email it will still be the same: beautytips101@hotmail.com

I'm Back! (And Duct Tape collection video)

Hey everyone I'm bringing my blog back! I haven't used this thing is a while so I thought that I would get back into it! For those of you that are new to my channel I post videos everyone Monday and then another day throughout the week (this varies each week!)

 

The video that I have posted recently on Monday was my Duct Tape Collection. I know that some of you aren't going to like this video because it doesn't have anything to do with beauty or fashion but I needed to do something easy. I hurt my back last Friday at work and I can't do a whole lot and I can't life a whole lot either. This video was easy to film because I just had to hold the camera and not really do anything else. I promise that when I start feeling better the videos will get better as I have a few in mind that I would like to film.

 

In this collection video, I talk about where I get all my Duct Tape from, what brands they are, and how much I paid for them. I don't spend a lot of money on my duct tape because as you can see I have a lot and I want to be able to use it all and not waste it. I use the duct tape for journaling, my planner and other DIYS.

 

My youtube channel is linked to the right and I hope you guys enjoy my videos!



Secret Outlast Clear Gel In Oh La Lavender (Review - Bzzagent)

So today I am going to do another review and this time its going to be from a website called Bzzagent. They teamed up with Secret Outlast and we got the chance to try out their Clear gel in the scent Oh La Lavender. I'm the kind of girl that is always active. I'm always playing soccer in the summer and snowboarding in the winter. When I'm not doing those things then I am inside doing dance cardio workout or running. I love to be active and it's part of my everyday life. I'm not the kind of girl that likes to wear gel I prefer the solid so I thought that this would be a great time to break out and try something new. I just want to tell you guys that I'm glad that I did. They gave us the scent Oh La Lavender to try and let me tell you that I'm not a flower scent kind of girl but the more that I used it the more that it grew on me. I'm not a strong scent but there's just enough to be able to smell it. When I use it while I'm active you can't smell the odor at all (and that is the goal). I also like when you apply it that it doesn't turn white on you or your clothes (I have had other products do that in the past and what's why I haven't tried a gel since). All in all I would recommend this product to everyone because it is a great product that I really enjoyed! Thanks to Secret and Bzzagent for giving me a chance to try a product that I normally would not have picked off the shelf!

Influenster Review: Impress Nails!

 

I got these nails to review from Influenster. (You can check out the website at influenster.com). I was give 2 sets of nails. The top picture shows you both. The colour on the left is called Working Girl and I'm pretty sure the colour on the right is called Joyride. I have tried the Working Girl ones before because I won them in a giveaway so I tried the Joyride colour this time. This time around I have to say that I was a little disappointed. A lot of the stickers that came off the back ended up not being sticky so I was only able to do one hand. I found the nails to be way to long for what I wanted. If I would have had to pay for the nails then I would be really upset with what I got in the Joyride nails. It could have just had been a bad box because the box that I tried before was awesome!

 

The advantages to these nails are that they are easy to apply. All you have to do is to select the right size for your nails, remove the stickers, and press to apply. I loved that when it was time to take off my nails that all I had to do was pull off the nail and it didn't make it feel like I was taking my actual nail off.

 

These come in many colours and patterns and you can get them a different stores like Target and Walmart. They range in price depending on what ones you are buying from $8.99 to $10.99.

Influenster: Garnier Damage Eraser Review

So I just wanted to say that I did get this product from Influenster for free for review purposes. I'm not getting paid by them to do this review and this review is my honest opinion.

 

 

I just wanted to say that when I first got the testers and we had to guess, and I guessed wrong. I thought it was a different brand and was surprised to see that it was Garnier Fructis.

 

In this package we got 4 items from the Garnier Frucits Damage Eraser collection. (From left to right) We got the shampoo, conditioner, split end serum, and the reconstructing butter. I was very surprised to see the butter because it wasn't one of the samples that we received before this box and it is a different product then what I have tried before. I love the smell of these products and how it stays in your hair after you shower. I like how it makes my hair shiny and smooth. I also like how it makes my split ends look almost normal. I use a lot of heat and my dye my hair a lot so this product is an awesome line to try!

 

There is always at least one thing that I don't like about a product. I don't like to post if I'm bashing a company but for me this is more of a way to help them get better because I think of it as more of a suggestion. I find that if you put too much of the butter in your hair then you will have a lot of build up left after you should and after you have scrubbed it all out. It took me a couple of times to find the right amount because it would make my hair look greasy. The other thing that I didn't like about this product is the fact that it has silicone in it. I think that it would be 100% more amazing without that product.

 

All in all I LOVE this product and would recommend it to anyone that is thinking about trying it. You can get it for a great price if you can get it on sale and if you don't get it on sale it's still a reasonable price!

Unboxing Influenster: L'Oreal

I have recently received this package from Influenster. If you want more information about Influenster then you can go to their website: http://www.influenster.com .

 

We got these products and we don't know what line that they were going to be from. I like that we were able to try them out without knowing what to expect.

 

I have tried these products out for a week and let me say that I'm impressed so far. For samples we got a shampoo, conditioner, and split end serum. They all smelt amazing and I love how the whole line left my hair feeling soft and smelling nice even after the shower. I can't wait to get more products from this line! 



Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure Review! (Sally Hansen #CSMTKO)

 



I received these from Influenster. I have been able to try all 3 polishes to get my full opinion on them before I wrote this. I just wanted to say that I love this brand and it will probably be my favourite for a long time. The brand is inexpensive and is easy to get your hands on. The colour that I liked the most was Pat on the Black. It is the deep purple colour but it looks black in some of the pictures. The colour that I liked the least was the light blue one, Jaded. I found it very watery and streaky compared to the other colours that I tried out. I used 4 coats and it still wasn't opaque. It is safe to say that I threw that colour right in the garbage and was very disappointed because I had high expectations from the other 2 colours. I didn't have this problem with the other 2 colours. The only problem that I had with the other 2 colours was mainly chipping. It says that it's supposed to be chip resistant but I saw that happening within the second day of wearing. It started around the end of my nail and then eventually happened in the middle of my nail. What I did like about the polish is that when wearing it it did seem like it was helping my nails to be stronger. I also liked that it seemed like that I was wearing gel nails without actually having to go to a salon. All in all I would repurchase these but maybe try out different colours. Maybe I got a bad bottle of nail polish but I know that I will not try out that colour again in case it was made a little differently. 

Broadway Nails - Impress Manicure!

 

 

So I received these nails in an Influenster Voxbox. I love the colour that I got and I was happy that I was able to get a chance to use them. I love how easy it was to apply the nails and the fact that they stay on for a while. They didn't last the full week like it said on the packaging but I'm very rough on my nails at work and at school but they still lasted a good 5 days. The two things that I didn't like about these nails are the fact that it was hard for me to get the stickers off the nails and that they didn't stay on perfectly. The sides started to come up after the first day and they probably would've lasted long if the sides would have stayed down longer. I hated having to get the stickers off the nails because I had to use my teeth to get them off! But all in all I would repurchase these because I loved them aside of the downfalls that I had. They are inexpensive and they come in different colours. You can also get them at different stores making them easy to get your hands on.

Update

Hey everyone... I have tomorrow off so I'm going to be doing a bunch of swatches and posting them on here .... There have been a bunch of things going on in my life lately... I'm looking for another Full Time job as the one that I have right now isn't going so well. There is someone that I work with that stresses me out at the max and I'm getting sick from being stressed out so much. Leave comments for different kinds of videos that you would like to see coming for me in the future. I'm going to upload a contest soon... Probably within the next couple of days. I was originally waiting until I hit 1,000 subscribers but since with youtube deleting accounts and unsubscribing accounts for no reason. I'm just going to work my butt off getting videos together that you guys would like to see. I know that people would like to see more vlogs and outfit of the day videos (since I dont really do these) So I'm going to try my best to get those up for you... Thanks everyone for staying with me through everything... Like my family issue a while back... and stuff like that... Hope to hear from you guys soon.

Hey Everyone!

Hey everyone... So I'm going to be getting back into bloging and post swatches and everything. Since I have been doing nail tutorials lately, I'm going to be posting pics of my nails as well. I just feel that now that I have more time on my hands I could be doing something with it instead of sleeping. This weekend is going to be crazy since I'm going to visit my friends that live 3 hours away. Instead of posting a vlog on my vlog channel, I think that I'm just going to post it on my regular channel... Anyways hope everyone is doing well and hope to talk to you all soon!

Busy 2 day

Sorry that I didn't blog yesterday. I just had a lazy day and had nothing to blog about. So last night I worked from 4pm to midnight and then came home and went straight to bed. I had to work from 6am to 2pm the next day and I was tired. Today has been a lazy day for me. When I came home I had a nap on my couch while watching punk'd. I made dinner for my boyfriend and took my dog out. That was the end of my exciting day. I'm on my way to bed now.

Sweet Dreams everyone!

What's Going On With Me

So I feel bad for not posting for a while but not going to lie I have forgotten about my blog. I'm going to start using it more for beauty and just things going on in my life. As some of you know from my current videos I have hurt myself at work. I was walking into work one icy morning and I slipped and fell. At 6 is when I was supposed to work in the morning and it had rained all night then it froze creating the ice on the ground. I slipped and my left shoulder hit a metal railing and my left side hit a curb. I'm sore and therefore can't do a whole lot. My shoulder and side are both bruised and I think that I'm going to go to the doctor on monday (this accident happened on friday). The good part is that I had this weekend off so I could put ice on it and rest all weekend. For the beauty part, I am going to start posting mini reviews on here and swatches. When I do my nails I will also take pics on post them on here. My life is very busy right now for those that know me. I work 2 jobs ( a fulltime and a part time), I do my schooling online that way I can go to work, and I also have like a mini family (my boyfriend, his son part time, and our dog living in our own place). Sorry for such the long post but from now on I will try to make them a lot shorter!

Bye for now everyone

Review: Icing Duos

Hey everyone. So this is going to be posted before my video will be but this is a review for the Icing Duos. I got 2 of them. They were usually $5.99 I think and I got them on sale for 50% off so it came out to $2.49 each. My friend was talking to the sales lady and she had said that she had converted people that bought MAC to this brand (and now I can see why). I've never heard of this brand before until my friend bought it and told me to try it out. It is super pigmented and the staying power is great! I love how many colours that they came out (at least 20 just in the duos!) but I only wanted to try them out. I'm kicking myself for not getting more of them! They are easy to get your hands on and the colour pay off is worth the money. I will buy makeup from Icing any day before going to MAC. I'm a sucker for packaging and they made these look like some of the higher end products that I have seen before. There isn't a difference between the 2 with how pigmented they are but I prefer the blue and bronze one the best. Below are some pictures and swatches. I'm sorry for the shadow in the bottom of the pictures but I wanted to get them up tonight!

Hey Everyone!

Hey everyone... So I've been super busy to keep up with my blog lately.. I'm going to start blogging more and posting more swatches and pictures on this blog. I placed an Avon order and should be here some time next week so I will have some swatches and reviews from that! If I have left anything out then let me know. Hope you had a great weekend!

Happy Easter Everyone!

Happy Easter to everyone that celebrates it!... Today instead of the regular type of meal that you would get at Easter time (like ham or turkey), we had a barbeque. It was awesome nad we had all different kinds of food. The little kids had an Easter egg hunt in the front yard and it was priceless. They had so much fun. Tonight we are just going to hang out at home because we have to get up early in the morning. There is a fishing derby from 8am-12p.m and the city is having an easter egg hunt for the kids. Hope you all have a great weekend no matter what your doing!
