Lately I have been receiving quite a few packages from companies and brands. I have to speak the truth, I am having so much fun! I wake up and wait to attack the post man for my packages! haha, I think he is afraid of me now :) Anyhoo, I decided to start filming whats in my mail box videos on my YouTube channel, so you can see in initial reactions and unboxings of the products I receive. I hope you enjoy and dont forget to subscribe to my channel so you don't miss a what's in my mail box video :)
WHATS IN MY MAIL BOX
This is a tutorial on the look I wore in this video.
I have some big news! News that I didn't think I would ever be sharing with you guys, now its not that big to some people, but it's big to me :)
There has been a project that I have been to get off the ground for a while. I even tried to get a partner involved, but that didn't work out, I think we were aiming at different things and I am kinda glad it didn't work out, because this is my baby and honestly I would cry if someone else tore it up.
Beauty News Network
Or B.N.N for short. B.N.N is a network that will bring you videos that I found insightful, smart or just plain cool, that I feel need to be shared.
I am planning on doing segments on just one subject, like the next episode will feature only skin care videos or articles. Every video will feature a question of the day ( QOTD ) to keep the conversation going.
I do see this growing in my heart and would love to have all my blogger buddies be apart of it. I am looking for content to feature, video or blogpost, whether its yours or your favorite bloggers, please feel free to email Themakeupsquid@gmail.com anything you would like featured on the B.N.N. As long as it is beauty, blogger, vlogger related.
I am very excited because I uploaded the video last night at around midnight and I already received a lot of views and comments on it, now I know thats not a big deal, but for me its amazing!!!
So here she is! The first episode of B.N.N!
Please leave me any advice, suggestions and/or encouragement to continue this journey.

Hello! Well This is going to be a bit different, Lately I have been on this mission in finding new ways to use old products or use products in a way that the makers of said products did not intend. Why, do you ask? Because I'm a Squid and this is what I do :) Today I am going to be sharing products that I use in the exact opposite way they were intended to be used.
COVER FX: Total Cover Cream Foundation Sephora.com says: What it is: An antioxidant-rich, two-in-one foundation and concealer offering broad spectrum SPF 30 protection with medium to full, buildable coverage. What it does: This foundation provides an all-day radiant finish that nourishes and protects with anti aging benefits. The buildable formula can provide medium to full coverage and offers SPF 30, full UV protection, and all-day wear. This clinically tested product does not contain gluten, mineral oil, or talc.
But that's not what I do with it! I use this guys as a highlighter when I am contouring and highlighting my lovely mug. It goes on nicely and I don't have to use much. It is way lighter then my natural skin tone but blended out it make for a nice concealer/highlighter follow with a face powder of your choice and you are good to go!
BENEFIT COSMETICS: Hello Flawless!' SPF 15
Sephora.com says: What it is: A custom powder cover-up with a natural finish that builds from sheer to full coverage.
What it does: Benefit "Hello Flawless!" SPF 15 is a blendable powder foundation with SPF 15 that goes on beautifully sheer and layers easily for customized coverage. Find your perfect shade and sweep it on with the accompanying brush for a sheer, natural finish; or apply with the sponge for full coverage or spot cover-up.
Now this shade "Nutmeg" is absolutely to dark for me. But! As a contour shade he is perfect. He blends amazingly well. He is a high coverage product so a little goes a long way and he comes is a wide variety to match any skin tones.
I find that using these two products together is just heavenly. I have provided a Video below as a demonstration on how well they work together.
I am using the Airbrush collection brushes from Sephora

Okay, so I went to Walgreen's yesterday and I picked up 2 count them 2 products. I picked up The Merlot Grape Seed Eye Cream and the Rimmel of London face Primer.
I loved the eye cream and couldn't wait to do a review on it, but when I got on the inter-webs I find out that My girl Liz did a whole review on it on her blog and shes having a give away! So me being the lazy squid that I am, I will tell you its all true and then send you to her blog! So go check out her review and awesome give away on her blog at myprettyobsessions.
I didn't like the primer it was the 001 primer version and it has a flesh toned tint to it and I just didn't like the way it felt on my face. So I went back to Walgreen's today to exchange it. I got the one I actually like, its the 002 primer and it goes on white finishing clear and it feels like heaven!
I also picked up the Lasting Finish by Kate Lipstick on the color 109. It is this pinky tangerine mauvy color. I love it! It goes on so smooth and yummy, it smells like lipstick and the packaging is so cute.
I decided to film my adventure to the drug store so , Lets Go!
