So - I finally got my 2 - 88 eyeshadow palettes and my neutral palette from Coastal Scents. It came in about 10 days (shipping was free and it was Fedex Ground). I had the original palette when it first came out... it was only about $19.00 USD then and now is $24.95 - but I think it is worth that and more. The colors are as vibrant as ever and I am so excited to do some new looks with the neutral 28 color palette. I also got 5 different brushes, a duo fiber stippling brush (pink), a face powder brush (small pink), a crease brush, a pencil type brush and an eyeshadow brush... I have washed them all and I am very pleased with it so far. I haven't used them yet... waiting for them to dry - but the face brushes shed a little bit... and those were the only ones. They had a slight smell to it... but I wash my brushes with MAC brush cleaner and with my biolage shampoo (mixed together) and the smell is now gone.

Hello to all...
I have been a Youtube member for about a year now - and decided that I should start doing my own tutorials... and all kinds of beauty related things.

I have several blogs - my personal blog which is http://www.honeygirlk.blogspot.com which I do not keep updated as often as I would like. And, my business blog which is http://www.alwaysmeansforever.blogspot.com for my photography business. I decided to keep all of it separate and go ahead and open this new blog with all of my beauty tips and other fun stuff in relation to my youtube broadcasting.

Check out my Youtube channel at: http://www.youtube.com/destne146 and check out some of my makeup application tutorials, reviews, etc. Like I mentioned before - I am new to the whole video broadcasting thing - so I'm slowly uploading vids as I do them.

Let me know what you think.
