finals week!

Hello everyone,

I'm working on some great ideas for holiday gift giving...DIY inspired,of course..and I will try to get them up as quickly as possible! However, these next few days are going to be a little CrAzY because it's finals week at UF! *GO GATORS!* Almost done with my next to last semester, and it can't come soon enough.

Just wanted to let you know you're not forgotten and I have some great stuff coming your way! If you have any ideas or requests, please let me know here or on my channel.

Here is a photo of some newsprint nails I did a few days ago while taking a study break! Hope all is well in your lives. Stay positive :)



Love,
Kimberly

DIY:: Leopard Print Nails

Hello,

Another week, another tutorial. I decided to show everyone DIY leopard print nails just because pretty much every time I wear this manicure it gets complimented. And who doesn't love that? ;)



This is an idea of what it will look like when you are finished! It really is pretty simple to achieve even if you think you aren't that great at painting your own nails. In fact, at one point in my life I couldn't even paint my right hand on my own.

The Products::
OPI Meet Me on the Star Ferry
Sinful Colors Polish
Sally Hansen Hard as Nails White Tip
Sally Hansen Super Shiny Top Coat
Paper plate
Thin/very fine paint brush


I really hope you guys enjoy this. Let me know what you think. Leave comments and please subscribe to my channel if you enjoy my videos. THANKS FOR WATCHING!

Love,
Kimberly

LIP SCRUB!

Hello,

I finally got a new video recorded and edited and I think it's completely appropriate with the cooler weather rolling in. I decided to film my own take on a DIY lip scrub. Sure, there are tons on Youtube already, butttttt...it's just what I wanted to do.

You guys are (as always) welcome to request videos that you would be interested in.

Anyway, with the cool weather settling in I know that personally I always seem to get really dry lips and no matter how often I keep lip balm on them they still get dry! :(

So, this lip scrub if used a couple times a week should help you keep your lips nice and soft into the winter! It has lots of yummy and natural ingredients sure to make your pout is perfect...including sugars, honey, and olive oil!

I hope everyone is well and I hope you enjoy the video! If you have any questions or comments let me know!

I'm back!

Hello everyone,

My apologies for neglecting you for so long....especially when I had such big plans for October on my channel! But, about a month ago my laptop decided to CRASH...mind you this was like an hour project I had a big project due for school. Anyway, I finally have my computer back. So, as soon as I can film some new material and get it edited...I'll upload it ASAP!


Love you all,
Kimberly :)

Creepy Doll Tutorial

Hello!

So, the first tutorial that I'm going to be covering for Halloween is a creepy doll tutorial! :)

I am editing the film and hopefully will have it up this week. I need to add the costume part to the video and then it will be complete. Here are some sneak peek pictures of the look. It's REALLY easy and definitely something anyone can pull off for an awesome Halloween look.



This is the face chart I got inspiration from...check it out! ;)


Okie dokie. This little lady is well ready for Halloween to get here. Hope you enjoy this tutorial once it is posted. It's easy and a fun look for Halloween!

HALLOWEEN IS COMING

HALLO(ween)!

It's so great to see all the new subscribers! Cutting to the chase, I originally had not planned to do any sort of make-up tutorials on my channel. However, I feel like I MUST make an exception for HALLOWEEN because it is by far my favorite holiday! ever!!!!


**This is my glam zombie look from last Halloween.**


**I was also a hippie.**



This year Halloween is going to be so much fun! I'm going to be attending America's #1 Haunted House in Georgia! So, anyway...so many exciting things coming to my channel in the next few weeks!

Also, please be sure to check out my new business venture TRUE BEAUTY BEAUTIQUE. Which can also be found on Facebook. (of course!) :) Product is going to start rolling out the doors ASAP!

Bareminerals Insider Kit

THE REVIEW::

Well, I filmed this video a little over a week and a half ago now. But, good news is that it is finally UP and I can actually give you a better idea of how I like all the products on here!

OKK SO WEIRD The only photo I can find on Sephora shows mini size products! So, the only thing I can think of is that I purchased mine from a Sephora within a JCPenney store? But, all my products I received looked much bigger than this picture. so confused! Let me know if you have any ideas on this!



Kit Includes::
Flawless Definition Volumizing Mascara in Black
Big & Bright Eyeliner in Black Sea
Blush in Boost
Natural Lipgloss in Starfruit
Colorshift Eye Double Ended Brush
Colorshirt Eye Color in Gold & Blue
($104 value for ONLY $40)Crazy DEAL!?

THE BREAKDOWN::
Well, as for the...
Mascara...I am still loving it, so it gets a 5 out of 5.
Eyeliner...So in love with the color,...5 out of 5.
Blush....Kind of sheer but still a fave...4 out of 5.
Lipgloss...FINAL REVIEW...a little TOO sticky..even for me...3 out of 5.
Brush....works great with the product...4 out 5.
COLORSHIFT EYE COLOR....AHHHMMAZZINGGG! 5 out of 5!

Overall::
This kit receives a 4 out of 5 from me! It is a great kit with some awesome full size products for a tremedous deal and I totally recommend scooping it up.


AS ALWAYS....VISIT MY YOUTUBE CHANNEL FOR THE VIDEO!

DIY TIE DYE YOUR NAILS!

Hello,

FINALLY,..thanks to the University of Florida wireless internet...I have managed to get another video uploaded.

This tutorial will teach you everything you need to know about tie-dyeing your nails. Some people call it water marbling...but TIE DYE sounds cooler...in my opinion. Haha.

Quick List of THINGS YOU'LL NEED::
2 OR MORE nail polish colors.. You'll have to try out your polishes because not all work equally as well. Like I state in the video, I think it's best to stay away from glitter polish and quick dry polishes.
Tape..whatever is cheap and STICKS.
Toothpicks
Plastic cup filled almost to the top with water

I used Sinful Colors nailpolish in Midnight Blue and an OPI mini in a light pastel purple..unsure of the color name. But, I achieved the look below with those two:



If you have any questions...please feel free to ask. And, I'll try to get some more videos up ASAP!

New Video -- Tomorrow

Hello everyone,

I've been so busy with school, work and lots of other NOT-SO-FUN stuff that I haven't posted a video in a while.

However, my July Faves should be up by tomorrow. I've been editing the video here and there for a couple days, but the file repeatedly is too large to upload to YT. Nevertheless, it should be up by tomorrow night at the latest!

Sneak Peak::


One of my July FAVES! Does anyone else use these masks? If so, what do you think?

Take care,
Kimberly :)


edit:: 8-9-11
There is something going on with the internet here. I tried downloading the video lat night *HOWEVER* it said it was going to take over 400 minutes. (Which isn't right). Sooo, I'll try again today when I can get to another connection. Hope all is well. :)

Say Goodbye to a Dry, Itchy Scalp

Hey Everyone,

Just wanted to let you know I'm uploading a new video as I type. If you haven't checked out any of my others please do and please subscribe if you want.

The newest video I'm uploading is how to get rid of a dry, itchy scalp. I know that we don't always talk about some of life's little problems. But, this one is such an easy fix. I def. recommend you checking this out if you have this problem or know someone who does.

UPDATE:: Check out the video by clicking HERE!



I also have some really cool crafty videos coming up soon like...

How to make these really cool phone cases!


Take care,

Kimberly :]

What's next?

Well, seeing that I visited Hobby Lobby this week....

You can def. expect some more card making tutorials. I also have other craft ideas on the way including making your own **BLINGY** cell phone case. As well as, some video responses to some makeup/hair tutorials.

BUT...what are your ideas? Tell me what you would like to see on my channel.

<3 Kimberly

Hellooo Youtube ;)

Well, hello.

Right now, school is still really keeping me busy. I'm in Orlando tonight until Tuesday. ::yawn:: I should be getting to sleep soon. But, I just wanted to let you know that I've started making YOUTUBE videos. They are going to be crafty, girly and full of fun stuff. Not sure where I'm really headed with it.

However, it's kind of in addition to my recent decision to start a small business making crafty things...starting with headbands and hair accessories.

Sky's the limit.

Talk to you later,
Kimberly

Update -- Summer 2k11

Well,

Summer is in full force here in Florida. It is H-O-T..HOT! But, whatever. It's Florida. Anyway, my internship in Orlando is going quite well. Never in my life did I even have the slightest clue about all that goes into the production of a magazine. BUSY, BUT....amazing.


Jessica is only here for a few more weeks. Which makes me totally sad. :(

In other news,...I think I'm starting a business. No,...I'm starting a business.

And, that makes life complicated. So, much to think about if you want to be legal about everything. Taxes. Blah. Production. Fun, but a lot of work.

I still don't know what to call it. But, I plan on making really cute, vintage-inspired headbands and hairclips. Eventually, one day I hope to move on to designing other things...like invitations or cards...or I'm not really sure sky's the limit.

Anyway, that's about all I've got for now, I'm also taking two summer classes and I should probably get to work on that. Not probably. I should.

So long for now,
Kimberly 8]

Good Morning, Orlando!

Well, I'm on to Day 6 of my internship at Orlando Style Magazine. I've been staying with my BFF Jessica while she is here in Orlando as well because she is going to Joe Blasco makeup school.

So far, I've learned a lot from my time there and I can't wait for the June issue to come out because I've actually help participate with it. :)

I just wanted to give a little update.

I've got some exciting things happening this summer and I'll be sharing them with you as they happen.


P.S. -- Check out my BFF's YouTube channel...she's sharing all her makeup tips!

Love,
Kimberly
