Top 5 YouTube Channels to Watch Now

Hi ya Gorgeous! 

 It is so hot. Like, weird hot. Like furnace hot - but all of the out doors is hair dryer in your face hot when you open the door. So odd! So I share a photo of when peiby and I were freezing on the beach at Christmas time because I need to focus on something cool!

 

 I am asking in this YouTube video below- if - you, like me, have had your viewing habits on YouTube change? If yes, how? If no, why not?

 

 I got started watching YouTube with Michelle Phan's Barbie transformation video. So good! It hooked me! 

 

Then I started to follow, ding the bell for notifications with GraveyardGirl (Bunny!) and Jeffree Star and many other beauty bloggers. 

 

Then, in pandemic, my viewing habits changed. Now, I have a new top 5 favorites here on YouTube that I learn from and watch for education versus just watching for entertainment.

EM Color Drops Serum Blush - First Makeup I've Been Excited About In a Long Time

 Hi ya Gorgeous,

So let's just say I've been doing makeup for a century and I have seen that, been there, done that and again for quite some time. Like bell bottom pants or, ahem, boot cut pants, or ahem ahem, flared pants come back around and around and around in fashion, same goes for makeup. 

The style doesn't go away it just recycles itself and when it comes to product, the ingredients get better and formulations and performance get better.

Enter the EM Color Drops Serum Blush.

This is the first product in a long time that I am actually excited about. I think the formulation is something that can be eyes/lips/cheeks and possibly even body too.

I'm happy to see Michelle Phan coming back to makeup on her own terms and creating something specifically for her and her fans. 

Next up - getting my hands on this product! In the meantime, here are the highlights from the website:

p.s.  Let me know in the comments if you have used this and what you think!

How to use the Generation Beauty app for the New York City

Holla Gorgeous!
Happy Monday. I love Mondays!
Now it's over a week since I have attended the Generation Beauty event in Los Angeles at the LA Live event deck.

Loved it! In fact, I will have my review videos and product review posts coming out this week. Why so long?

 Because when I got home last Monday, I instantly launched into LEGO Robotic Camp Mom mode for my Mancub's week of engineering and building robots.
I created a "how to" video for the Generation Beauty app. Why? Because it's news I wish I had before I got to the event. Yes, I had a plan. But I didn't have enough of a plan or a Plan B, Plan C and a Plan C 1/2.

Now about that video...
