Secret Swap Interest? UPDATE

UPDATE: secret swapper is closed!! we have a lot of girls that are participating!! if you didnt get in this time, let me know and i can set up another one soon! :)

Lately I have been running to the mailbox hoping I get a secret package from someone filled with goodies. Instead I open the mailbox and get a shit load of bills. I participated in a secret swap a couple months ago and it was SO MUCH FUN!

Would Anyone be interested in participating in a secret swap? I would like at least 10 people to be interested, including myself. You can pick your price range (i think minimum of $20) and if you would like to stay within the US or go international and I would match you up accordingly. Last time I swapped my secret package was from the UK and ohh my I got some amazing things.

Since there are a lot of shady sneaky people on YT/Blogging community if you would like to participate please be someone who makes videos or has a blog or if I have talked to you and know that you arent some skanky sneaky bitch trying to score some free stuff.

SO.. if you want to participate please send me an e-mail to AlohaMakeup@Yahoo.com with the following information:

-Name

-Youtube/Blogger Link

-Price Range desired

-US or International or Both

When..or if i get a good amount of people I'll send you an e-mail with more info!

Merci Beaucoup :)

Lush's Dark Angels Cleanser Review

With all the buzz going around YouTube about Mac's Volcanic Ash Exfoliator I decided to head over to my Mac and see if I could grab a sample. I refuse to buy face products without sampling them. I mean why am i going to buy something, use it 3-4 times max, and when it breaks me out throw it away.. thats basically throwing away money. I'm glad I got only a sample of Mac's VAE because it did nothing for my skin..so I decided to try Lush's Dark Angel Cleanser.

Now I am not a big Lush fan and going into trying this product I had my doubts. I will have to say though I have opened my eyes to Lush's skin products. I have used Dark Angels Cleanser 5-6 times and so far so good!

Lush's websites describes the product as this:

Dark Angels is powerful cleanser designed for young and oily skin - as requested by our customers and inspired by our best-selling cleansing roll. It's got a natural, anti-bacterial cleanser in the form of Rhassoul mud which we buy direct from the mines in Morocco's Atlas Mountains. Powdered charcoal absorbs oil as it gives you a good scrub. Its firm approach is balanced by soothing rosewood and sandalwood essential oils to keep your skin soft.

The texture of this cleanser is the same as granulated sugar and the scent is that of black liquorice which I HATE...but i can just hold my nose when using it! I have oily/combination skin so this does a great job controlling my oil and does not dry out my skin. I do have pretty tough skin and use this everyday. For people who have sensitive skin this might not be a good idea to use everyday or every other day for that matter. Unlike Mac's VAE, the exfoliating "beads" do not dissolve right away and can feel quite rough on sensitive skin. I tested it on Bart who has really sensitive skin and he said it hurt....but he's a big baby.

The downside to this product is that it is a messy clean up and occasionally leaves a black residue in my pores. I use this in the shower so the clean up is easier and I can really make sure the product is completely off my face! It also dyed my shower tiles black.....not good!

I suggest everyone try it. It is quite a good deal. If you have used/tried it let me know how it works for you!

CIAO!

i'm back?

So I'm back!..Like it, Love it, Hate it...I don't give a shit.

The 4+ months I was gone from YouTube a lot has happened!
1. I moved back to Hawaii..best decision I've made in a long time!
2. Bart made a full recovery!.. Must have been a miracle,I swear!
3. I started watching the Beauty Community on YouTube again.

My account got hacked and Bart was very ill and makeup/youtube was not the place for me at that time in my life. 99.9% of my old subscribers understood. the .1% of them did not. I can not even begin to thank you guys for supporting me and thinking about us! There are some seriously special people on youtube. Weed out all the haters, weirdos, fat men laughing videos (my favorite) and you have some AMAZING girls on here!

I decided to come back SLOWLY. My makeup collection has seriously downsized...i can fit all my makeup in 1 little rubbermaid container. I really have to get my confidence back up to where I feel somewhat ok with making videos.

Since I've been back I've been getting the same question asked over and over again.. "ARE YOU TRYING TO BECOME PARTNER?"

I dont get why i get this question? Yes I WAS partner for a short short time..(1 week before i was hacked) and to tell you the truth I could care less if I will be one or not. There are some new partners now that are dominating youtube! ( so glad to get a nice breath of freshness...i was getting old of the usual partners) So there's my answer and STOP ASKING tricks!!!

So thats it. I gotta get back into the swing of things. Making this blog is a big step! Woohoo!

If you blog, please leave me a comment or follow me so I can follow back! I've forgot/lost all the people I used to follow and would like to get back into the swing of things! Mahalo! :)

I feel like I need to play that Eminem song guess whos back while writing this...

ok TA TA FOR NOW!
