A lot of people ask about what type of equipment I use for my videos, and how I have it all set up. I filmed a video on my personal channel talking about what a cameras and lighting I use, so I hope this is helpful!

Brooke recreated my Violet Vixen look, but since she didn't have any of the products I used, she went ahead and used some products that are more easily accessable than what I used and almost all can be purchased in person and sephora or ulta :)

Brooke a great how-to video for Konad, a great watch for anyone curious about Konad!! I learned a few things, she's been using it a lot longer than me.
After watching this I think I'll have better luck once I get my Special Polishes. I've been doing this with regular polish, and it takes about 5 tries to get the image to show up fully on the stamp, because it will only take about half of the image up on the stamp. I'm excited to get my special polishes, i'll get that next week and I'll do a...

She also lists an exfoliating scrub:
2 tbsp. brown sugar
2 tbsp. ground oats (i pulse for a few seconds in a blender)
1-2 tbsp. honey
1 tsp. lemon juice
1 tsp. olive oil

One of the questions I get asked all the time is "What should I put in my freelance kit?" Josh made an AMAZING list of a good basic starter kit, and its posted on his blog:
Buidling a Freelance Kit
He lists all MAC Products for the kit, but that doesn' t mean you have to use only MAC products. In addition to listing MAC product names he explains what the color looks like so you can use a different brand with a similar color. In fact, I recommend getting products from different brands, because ...

Josh made a video on his other channel that explains how to draw on lashes on a MAC facechart. He does it just like how I used to when I worked there, except I used a liquid eyeliner tester wand instead of a lustreglass want (that way you dont need to cut the head smaller or anything)
This makes me miss face charts, they were so much fun and a good time waster. *sigh* lol :)...

So next week MAC comes out with the Blonde, Brunette, Redhead collection which includes THREE NEW BRUSHES!!! *Haaaleluja* I'm a total sucker for MAC brushes as I'm sure you all know, so I was excited to see my lovely friend Brooke talk about them :)
Here's a photo of the brushes, from temptalia.com (the BEST place to see amazing photos of new collections, shes on top of it!)
I think I want all three. Not just because I love me some MAC brushes, but they all are pretty different from the...
