Disclaimer... to clear the rumors.

Hi All!

I have been getting a ton of questions lately about whether I receive products for free and if I get paid... So this blog post will be all about that!

I am going to be honest:
I have received many products for free. Everything from eyeshadows, blushes, foundations, hair products, skin care products and much more.

BUT on my YouTube page where it says "if you're a company interested in me trying your products......." I also write that I reserve the right to NOT review a product or tell my viewers about the product if I don't like it. The companies know that when they send me the products!

I honestly have not showed you, half of what I have recieved just because I don't like it! I want you to rest assure that I will ALWAYS be honest with you and never steer you in the wrong direction to make a buck or two!

Now for the 'getting paid' issue.... NEVER so far! I have never been offered in my whole YouTube experience to be paid. I truly believe that there are a couple (literally 2) of people who feel the need to be paid... which I find ridiculous. I mean, you're already getting products for free! Why do you need to get paid?

I just wanted to let you guys know my philosophy and clear any questions you had because I have been getting a TON of questions about that lately!

I just want to make it clear that I would never try to sell anybody something I don't like for the benefit of me. We all work hard for our money and shouldn't waste it on junk :)

My Current Wishlist!

Hey Everyone!

I know, I know... I said I would update this thing more often and I still haven't! It's just really hard for me to post because I don't even think people read my blog, haha! Oh well! So people have been asking me to do a blog post on my current wish list items since it is ever growing! So here goes...

Oh-- and everything will be in the order I would like to purchase them in :)

1) Louis Vuitton Monogram Speedy 30 or 35

*Drooools* I have ALWAYS loved Louis Vuittons ever since I began to appreciate my Mom's (and other family member's) purse collections! I love the shape of the bag and how big it is! Now I know you can buy some REALLY good fakes out there, but I want the real thing! I mean although most people wouldn't know, I would! So my Mom made a deal with me. If I got over 85% overall on my report card for Term 2 (my last average was 76%. ew) my parents would be my dream bag!

I would feel bad though, so I am saving my money to contribute to the hefty almost $800 this baby costs!

2) Canon Vixia HF20

I currently film on my MacBook (Common FAQ!) and now that I have over 5,800 subscribers (OMG!!!!! I just got a message from a sweet girl telling me!) I feel like I should make my videos higher quality for you! I love my MacBook (but it's old, and a hand me down from my sister!) and I love the little remote it comes with, haha! I am telling you that if it doesn't come with it, i'm moving onto one that does! Is that bad?

3) A MacBook Pro
As I said above, I am currently using (& typing on) my white MacBook. It was my sisters but when she graduated from elementary school (as a tradition) she got a new laptop to take with her to high school and do all her assignments, ect on. Because I knew MacBooks are good to film on, she decided to hand it down to me! Although I love this laptop, it's old and nearly 4 years old!

and last but not least...

4) iPhone 3GS

So many of you know I have a BlackBerry pearl and I LOVED it up until the summer time! For some reason it keeps freezing on me CONSTANTLY! I can hardly use anymore which sucks! When I called Rogers to see if I was elegible for an upgrade they said I would be only on September 29th, 2010! I know where i'll be on September 29th!

And that sums it up! I know it's all expensive stuff, but I won't get it all this year! It will be split up, DEFINITELY!

What's on your wish lists?

Fake MAC Cosmetics

A video about this is coming soon!

FAKE MAC WEBSITES:
http://www.brush111.com
http://www.cosmeticshotsale.com
Sometimes -> http://www.ebay.com

eBay: On eBay be sure to read the feedback about the seller and read the fine print. Be aware and trust your instinct! If it looks to good to be true, it probably is. Make sure you buy from a credible seller and don't be shy to ask questions!

-If your product is fake you need to demand a refund.

-Make sure to be aware of what you're buying! Pay close attention to details w/ packaging and colors.
EX: This picture from http://www.cosmeticshotsale.com shows "MAC Hello Kitty Lipsticks". MAC did not come out with this many lipsticks and definetley did not have that cheap packaging with 'lipstick' on the front: http://www.cosmeticshotsale.com/index.php?main_page=popup_image&pID=137

-They're even selling fake MAC makeup bags on www.cosmeticshotsale.com, most MAC bags are glossy not canvas, cheap material.

-Unless it's special edition, MAC powders NEVER come in rectangular casing like this: http://www.cosmeticshotsale.com/index.php?main_page=popup_image&pID=176
It's ridiculous.

-I think this is pretty self explanatory: http://www.cosmeticshotsale.com/index.php?main_page=popup_image&pID=30

-Their eyeliner page is humorous! MAC never came out w/ Heatherette or Hello Kitty LE eyeliner!

-MAC eyeshadows come in circular pots w/o sponge tip applicators & mirrors if they are legit and not special editon. Even then most of the LE eyeshadows are still circular.

-MAC does not have brush rolls that come with brushes. http://brush111.com/index.php?gOo=goodspic.dwt&goodsid=338

Would this be a good choice?

http://cgi.ebay.com/NAIL-POLISH-acrylic-table-RACK-DISPLAY-HOLD50-polishes_W0QQitemZ310189655092QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item4838be8434#ht_636wt_736

I am thinking of buying this to store my MAC eyeshadows/pigments/paintpots. Is this a good choice, because I know there are many different kinds of nail polish racks on eBay. Does this look like a good choice?

Let me know :)

10 Random Facts about me!

Hello Beautiful Ladies!

I know I neglect this blog and I feel really bad about it! The thing is, is that I am SO busy with school this year! School is a legit 10 times harder this year, so i'm finding myself struggling to keep my videos weekly, never mind this blog! Plus, i'm kinda uninspired and I don't know what to write about! But guess what?! I have a ton of ideas about what I want to write, so expect a lot more blog posts from me!

To start things off fun, I figured I would do a random fact post!

1. I was born August 4th, 1995. I only learnt how to spell August this year.

2. I got my first piercing in my ear when I was 6 months old, and my second when I was 13.

3. I am currently craving a Louis Vuitton Speedy 35; If I do exceptionally well on my final report card I will be getting one as a birthday gift/congratulatory present from my parents.

4. I used to dream about my 'Super Sweet 16' and the theme was going to be 'Hollywood'. Now all I want is an amazing dinner with my friends and family and crazy presents. And a cake made by the Cake Boss.

5. I am 1/2 Greek and 1/2 Canadian. When people ask 'what I am'... I only say Greek.

6. I'm somewhat compulsive about everything, most people think it's 'cute'.

7. I always have to carry cream with me. My cream gets passed around every class. And every guy smells like vanilla afterwards.

8. My Mom, Dad, Yiayia and Papou (Greek Grandparents) are my hero's.

9. I am a country music fanatic.

10. When I listen to music on my iPod, I imagine a music video in my head. Especially with country music.

Hope you enjoyed <3

NARS does NOT test on animals & Coastal Scents?

Hey Dolls!

Following my "Makeup Collection & Storage video" which I uploaded last week, I have been bombarded with comments and messages about how NARS tests on animals. I was shocked considering NARS is an expensive brand and usually higher end brands usually don't test on animals (thank goodness!).

Firstly, I looked it up and found out that NARS does NOT test on animals. It says it on their website plain and simple. NARS never has and never will test on any of our animal friends. Heres the link: http://www.narscosmetics.com/customer_home.aspx

Also, did you know that Francois Nars (the creator of the makeup brand) is actually a Vegan?!
So I highly doubt he would let people test his products and put his name on a product that was tested on animals.

Next, I asked Katie (aka saywhatcuteface18 on YouTube) if NARS tested on animals. Katie worked at PETA and is a vegetarian and avid animal rights activists and she purchases NARS products. She told me personally that NARS does not test on animals.

I'm not sure where this rumor got started or why people write it to me so many times on like every video now! I'll just refer all of the "You won't buy Covergirl but you'll buy NARS?! They both test on animals" comments to this blog post :)

Now there seems to be some drama with me and Coastal Scents. Yes! I am aware that "Coastal Scents" claims NOT t0 test on animals. But they DO support animal cruelty. Again, you can watch saywhatcuteface18's video on this topic.

Coastal Scents do not test their products on animals. However, they DO support animal cruelty. They sell "mink" lashes for an extremely low price, but in reality it isn't actually "mink" that was gently brushed to get the fur. They eyelashes aren't real mink, it's dog and cat fur. The dogs and cats are brutally skinned, sometimes alive, they are stepped on and they scream and feel pain just like us.
The fact that Coastal Scents is willing to purchase and sell these cruel items is what puts me against this 'company'

Remember when...

Remember when cooties were the worst thing we could get from boys?

Your worst enemies were your little siblings?

A race issue was who runs the fastest?

...and war was nothing more than a game of cards?


Life was so simple and carefree.



Remember all you wanted was to grow up?
