Generation Beauty Recap! Short Film of New York City
    
Posted on January 16, 2016 by admin
    
Hey, Chameleons! This post that recaps Generation Beauty from New York City last year (October 2015) has been a long time coming. It took me so long to finally post this because I was overwhelmed with hours and hours of video footage and tons of photos I needed to sift through but I finally sat down for four days and made my way through all of the footage. Here is the beautiful piece of art that I call my experience in New York City during my first Gen Beauty convention!

If you guys liked this video, please subscribe to my beauty youtube channel! I will be posting videos from future Gen Beauty’s not to mention my usual posting of all things beauty related!
For those of you who are unfamiliar with what Generation Beauty (commonly abbreviated as just “Gen Beauty” for short) is, then let me explain. Gen Beauty is a convention created by Michelle Phan’s company “Ipsy” that is on a Saturday and a Sunday and focused on beauty. People buy tickets to the event and receive a card that has tabs that you can rip off and exchange at the corresponding brand’s booth for whatever they are offering at the event. Most booths have long lines, but once you get there you hand in the brand’s tab off of your card and get a free beauty product or products.

There are also other types of booths. Some were demonstration booths where you could watch someone explain and show how to use a product. Another was one where you could pick designs from a set and watch people print out exactly what you wanted on a makeup bag that you get to keep. Others are meet and greets of your favourite beauty gurus like Julie G at the Jessie’s Girl station, or Mally who had a photoshoot type setup where you could take photos with her.

Generation Beauty had up until this point always been held in L.A. but this was the first time it was in NYC. I was obviously excited because as an East Coast babe, this made it easier for me to be able to go, especially because it was during the school year.
Because I am a beauty vlogger, I was given tickets to the event and invited to a cocktail party that was the night before that was just beauty influencers and beauty brands. In the video you can see Michelle and her Ipsy team making cute speeches and everyone partying and having a great time. Did I mention that it was open bar?

During this time, I met so many wonderful people. I ended up becoming great friends with Jennie (The Bargain Princess) and Linda (JaMexicanBeauty) and will be attending the next Gen Beauty with both of them in L.A. at the end of this month!

 


We got to meet Michelle Phan’s sister on the way out on the last day (She’s the second from the left in the maxi-dress)!

I don’t remember who took this photo but I’m still sad that they didn’t focus the camera :/

Just various photos of yours truly this weekend! 🙂
He photobombed us pretty badly but the next day we found out that he works for Cover FX and he gave each of us two bottles of the Cover FX Foundation Drops (which retail for $44/bottle!)

Aesthetic.

 
He congratulated me on my hair tutorials. Crazy that Patrick Star (the makeup artist) has even heard of me. It was great meeting him!

Pretty much the cutest subscriber in the world awhhh!!!
Overall it was such an amazing time and a great place for beauty bloggers to network, meet viewers (yall are so cute!), or for beauty-enthusiasts to get new products and run into some of their faves. Everybody gets a goody bag in the end and comes home with tons of photos and a smile on their face 🙂

How to Fringe a Shirt DIY
    
Posted on July 30, 2012 by admin
    
Hey everyone! Today I’m going to show you how to create a fringed shirt out of a regular t-shirt.

This is a really simple and easy do it yourself clothing modification tutorial. I show you how to turn a regular cotton shirt into a cool fringed top. If you have a shirt laying around that you don’t wear because it’s pretty loose on you, this is  a great way to get some use out of it. All you need are a pair of scissors and some spare time and you can get really creative and transform your old shirt into something new. The fringe trend is really cute, so I encourage you to try it out!

Here are all the Steps and Products I used:

Steps
1) Get a cotton shirt that you want to fringe
2) Try it on and find how high you want the fringe to come.
3) Mark the desired height of your fringe with a pencil. Use a pencil, white eyeliner, or chalk. Don’t use something like a pen or marker because those won’t come out of the shirt. The area you mark will tell you where to stop cutting, but won’t be gone once you’re done cutting so you want to make sure whatever you use to mark the shirt washes out!
4) Get a pair of scissors and cut off the bottom seam of the shirt.
5) Use your scissors to cut vertical strips up to the marked line. Try to make all the strips about half an inch wide, and evenly space them. It doesn’t have to be super perfect, but try to be neat.
6) Once you cut the strips all around the shirt, gently tug on each of them to change the boxy rectangle shaped fabric into more of a curled cylinder shape. Try on your shirt and you’re done! You have now changed a boring old tee into a trendy fringed top with just a pair of scissors!
Tools Needed
-a cotton shirt that you want to fringe
-a pair of scissors that cut through cloth easily
-fingers
