March recap, some faves, FOTD, tiny Target haul, many thanks, etc

whoops! i forgot to blog yesterday! i know that not a lot of people read my blog so it's okay that i'm a day late... anyway, thank you for such a wonderful March! i never knew i would have so much fun dedicating a whole month just to one brand of makeup. i have much more up my sleeve so i hope you keep tuning in!

so this video, i was a bit all over the place... that's okay! i had a lot to say! i'm so excited to using my It Cosmetics eyebrow pencil again! i think the color works so well with my skin tone. i think the big & bright eyeliner in cork worked as well, but i think i should've topped it off with a darker shade of brown. i'm such a newbie when it comes to picking out the correct eyebrow pencil for my brow hairs.

anyway, i'm ready to talk about other makeup brands, but i will still do at least two videos a week just for my fellow Bare Escentuals addicts. i just gotta keep on enabling you guys! LOL xoxo Kathleen

MAC dark grey smokey eye using smoke & diamonds

another oldie, but goodie... i still feel like poo! so i found another tutorial that was pretty good to upload today. sorry for the quality... when i uploaded videos in the past, i used a program called iShrink (i believe) to compress the video so it could upload quicker. so the best it could be was 360p.

nowadays, depending on what the video is about, i would either upload in 720p HD (which takes HOURS to upload) or large 480p and they still take a long time to upload. HD is really taxing on the internet at home so uploading in large 480p takes about 1/2 the time, but it still takes a while depending on how long the video is.

anyway, i'm slowly getting better... my fever broke last night while i was crashed on the couch... as soon as that happened, i felt 10x better. i was able to sit up and eat dinner (we ordered pizza) and watch last Sunday's episode of The Walking Dead. i really wanted to go out today and see my friends C & R get married, but i just couldn't do it... i was still pretty weak. i've been taking OTC meds and also the hubby stayed at home today, too... at least my other friends A & M made it to the wedding. i still feel horrible that i couldn't go but i didn't want to infect them on this blessed day. they're going to have a celebration later on in the summer and most likely i'll be well enough to attend!

i'm going to try to make a new video tomorrow, but we'll see. i'll sound like crap, and i'll have to edit out all the coughing, but i have something planned for the month of March. i hope you like it. xoxo Kathleen

what's in my stash? all my Sonia Kashuk brushes

it's been a while since i made one of these videos... i couldn't think of what to film today because i was still feeling like crap, but at the last minute, i came up with this one. i almost rerecorded it because i was coughing so much as i was editing it, but i decided to keep it. showing off brushes doesn't need to be so fancy schmancy.

so i hope you are having a wonderful Valentine's Day. i didn't get anything for my hubby and he didn't get me anything either... the jewelry haul i filmed the other day wasn't really Valentine's Day specific. we just don't do that kind of stuff... sometimes he surprises me with a bouquet of daisies, but you know, they die. LOL i'd rather have a nice dinner together and watch some TV or a movie. we normally go out for dinner on our anniversary or our birthdays. i can't wait until i can kick this cough! xoxo Kathleen
