Video Killed the Radio Star

So I was asked what I do for makeup, and I have always been too chicken to make a video but I thought I'd give it a go and show you all my makeup "regimen" (if you can call it that). It ended up being hella long, so kudos to anyone who can make it through me being a silly goon for a quarter of an hour. If I do another one I'll try to made it shorter...


Here is a list of the makeup I use, since I don't think I told you exactly what products I use. If you click the link, it'll take you where you can buy it! Most of my stuff is by Motives, so you can also click the Motives link on my side bar and look through their other products too.

And speaking of makeup!
The winner of the Vamp Lipstick giveaway is...

Carina of BadTasteToast!

Here's the gorgeous outfit she created on Couturious!


and... I found an amazing jewelry shop through her blog...Labyrinth Jewelry & Accessories.

My wallet is doing that thing again, where it creeps out of my purse and towards my computer screen. They have super cute necklaces and rings. Animal rings! Too much fun!


Also, I want to debut my "shop my closet" thingy! I'll try to keep it updated, and I'll let you guys know when I put new stuff up. Hopefully the "buy it now" buttons work. I've never done it before, so I'm sure they'll be kinks to work out. Make sure to pick where you want the item to be shipped - US or International - before clicking "buy it now." Lets see if this works!


Oh, and just one more order of business... I made an FAQ page and I tried to include the questions I'm most often asked. If there are any more questions you'd like me to answer, let me know and I'll try to include them!

You are so adorable and sassy I love it haha. I feel you on the eyeliner being so much easier to do on one side! How funny I thought I was the only one who had a hard time with that :)

daisymay said...

nice video, if a little long, lol! Wish I could fit into your clothes coz I would so have bought that dress from you!

katierosered said...

_holly_ said...

Melanie said...

You are so cute. I love your accent. Where are you from?

Delightfully Tacky said...

Haha Melanie, I didn't even know I had one! I was born in California, but have live in Alaska since I was 5, so... er, an Alaskan accent? I used to not be able to say my R's when I was little and people used to think I was from New York. Noo Yauwk.

Bad Taste Toast said...

Thank you thank you again for the lipstick, I'm so looking forward to the little beauty package :)
I also have this problem with the eyeliner being easier to do on one side, like Liz said! So funny others know this problem, too.
I'm glad you like the Labyrinth jewellery shop! It's one of my new favourite ones :)

brooke said...

great video!

AndiPants said...

Hahaha! Your video was very entertaining. I loved your commentary. It cracked me up. I have to admit that I also use my fingers to apply my makeup when I'm feeling lazy despite having brushes on hand.

ModestMix said...

the way you talk/your mannerisms reminds me of ellen page heheh <3

Sarah said...

This video is just great. I love when bloggers post videos. It is so strange to hear what their actual voices sound like. I love your tutorial, it cracks me up!

Dap Zaftig said...

Hahah, I love it, longest video ever. People used to tell me I had an "Alaska" accent...whatever the hell that means, it's just our naturally awesome and completely unique bogus voices!

Jolly Josi said...

Cute video !

Sarah K. said...

oh my gosh you are too funny! and cute and definitely sassy (like someone said above).

I love the lipstick you used. and I love when you said you didn't have to put makeup on half your face because of your bangs "bitches" haha.

sincerelyangela said...

you're so adorable, funny too. thanks for the tutorial.

Hannah said...

Haha, that was fantastic. It's always kinda wierd when you get to hear your favorite blogger's voices because sometimes they're so different than what you imagined to begin with. But yours fits you really well, if that makes sense.
I really liked this tutorial because I am not a makeup whiz by any stretch of the imagination. It's good to hear that it doesn't take huge amounts of effort to come out with a lovely result.
Question though, are you blessed with naturally clear skin, or do you use some kind of face wash? You're skin is really lovely. I'm always afraid that if I layer on the makeup I'll break out.

Addie Marie said...

That was awesome! I love how videos give you such a different sense of someone's personality than their writing does... In a good way, of course! It's always fun to see people's animated expressions! You're adorable, as were your quips. <3

Oh, & do more!

stephanieesstar said...

haha, this was too cute! And was super helpful! I'm pretty horrible with my makeup, so I often opt to go without, but I'm trying to remedy that. Thanks!

OooKellyNicky said...

congrats to her, yeah her outfit is really cute.

my blog: ♥La Stylin Girraffe♥

Starr Crow said...

haha.. didn't know you had an accent. well you do, and it's adorable and your hilarious. love the video.

Angela said...

Ahhh! Ok--you are adorable! Don't comment much, but I've been reading your blog for a few months--love your style--and it's so nice to see you in video. Love it!

Lewis said...

Absolutely love your video! You are just really funny and I love your attitude and the weird voices you make sometimes! Will watch it again, I've always found it really enchanting to watch people put makeup on like during show (i've done a few fashion shows) or even simply on the way to work in the tube in the morning!

I wanted to ask, do you never wear mascara? I'm asking cos it's virtually the only makeup i use on a day to day basis since my lashes are really quite lightly coloured (although not blond)...

+ I just love your hair and hair colour; I actually have another question: is your hair naturally curly? mine is, but really thin. And do you straighten your bangs on a day to day basis? I would love a fringe but since i live in london, my hair would always get curly again because of how much rain we get all the time!!!

Still loving your blog and following you on facebook and chictopia :)
Love
NoƩmie

danika jane said...

"hmm smearing" you're so adorable! haha i love it.

Ebony said...

I love your accent! I love it! Great video. I am totally lazy and hardly wear makeup. When I do for going out or dressy days - it is really a 15 minute process.
:)

tess said...

haha this is adorable, I love your fake southern accent haha and general edge. I love seeing the videos on various blogs and hearing people's voices, maybe I'll have to do a vid myself!

Destined For Now said...

Really cute video! You seem to have such a great personality. I'd definitely love to see more!

hannahpea said...

i want another video. "fancy" makeup.

you made fancy my new favorite word.
and you are hilarious.
thank you.

Laura said...

Could you be any cuter? C'mon!

I vote for more videos! You just added a whole 'nother layer of personality to your already fabulous blog!

eef said...

haha, I almost never wear makeup, but this was too cute! I want to try doing my eyeliner like yours... Not sure how it will turn out though, I always make a mess of my eyes!

Delightfully Tacky said...

Hey NoƩmie,
I don't wear mascara on a day to day basis. If I'm going out on the town or something I'll put some on, but I don't need it because I have naturally dark lashes. I'll wear fake lashes sometimes if I'm feeling up for it.

And yes, my hair is naturally curly. I don't do anything to make it curly, I just does that. I straighten my bangs once and they usually stay looking decent until I wash my hair again.

Sydney said...

Haha, this is such a funny video. Your skin is gorgeous and I love your accent!

Delightfully Tacky said...

Hannah,
My skin isn't really super fabulous. I don't have breakouts, but the atmosphere is ridiculously dry up here and my skin kind of turns reptilian, especially in the wintertime. And yet! I don't really do much moisturizing or cleansing. I don't wash my face... at all. Granted, I don't use oily makeup, so that is probably why I don't break out.

Mich said...

you're hilarious. Thanks for this though - I've been using uber crappy makeup for too long. I need to grow up and get at least a few good things. So thanks for the tips!

bestie said...

Haha such a cute video! You're a doll. (: and that is a MAC 168 brush, if I'm not mistaken. It's great, I can see why you use it for everything! (:

Daisy said...

Fab video ...and your so funny !

Erica said...

Love the video! Definitely do more!

A. Love the eyeliner and will have to try it. Without eye make-up I look soooo sleepy.

B. Where do all these people live that think you have such a crazy accent?

C. (yeah I know, too many things) I also have super curly dark hair, but my hubs thinks it looks crazy like a mane, so I straighten it.

Roya + the Machine said...

Okay you are hilarious. Just had to put that in there.

Nicole Jarecz said...

thanks for sharing the video!

Tuppy said...

You have a lovely voice! For some (kind of obvious) reason, I always thought you'd sound just like Zooey... And you do, a little bit, but I like your voice better! And you're very funny, girl, you should do more videos! =D

MOUSEVOX VINTAGE said...

Obviously, our wallets have been scheming together behind our backs. I can't seem to stop buying stuff this week!

kelly ann said...

this was awesome. i love your humour, it's so genuine!

Stephanie said...

Aw, I loved the video! You're adorable & it's so fun to to follow someone through blogging and pictures and then get to see how they "really" are! And I'm not sure if there's already a tutorial or video on your hair, but you have fabulous hair and I'd love to see your steps to that! I do my hair somewhat similar but I just don't get the kind of volume that you have- maybe your hair is naturally curly whereas mine is straight? Either way- would love to see a video! :D Keep up the awesome work!

elizabeth!

Abigail said...

I have been following your blog for awhile now and have never commented before but after watching that video I have to.
You are so cool! I love your accent and how goofy you are. It's a bit weird but exciting to see one of your fave bloggers in "real life". Please make more videos! That one was really helpful as well - I'm useless on the whole when it comes to makeup so it's great to get tips :)

hello birdy said...

It's so strange seeing bloggers you follow suddenly talking and moving! Ha :o) And for some reason the American accent completely through me, despite knowing you're from Alaska! Guess I'm just so English..
Your makeup routine is soo much longer than mine. I use like 4 products. Should probably make more effort!

Sara Lynn said...

Okay. so I FINALLY got around to watching this (I usually check blogs at my work computer, because actual work is overrated) and you are so cute! As for your "Accent", you sound a lot like Juno! I swear, if I had my eyes closed it would have been her. :)

Robyn said...

Haha, you are so cute! I basically stayed to the end to see how many funny voices you could use in one video... enjoyable? Extremely so. :) Got some good makeup tips too- would definitely watch another one!

Stephanie said...

This was quite hilarious and instructive at the same time. I watched it completely, it was interesting, amusing really. Ah, I like the way you talk, your accent! You look like and a great person and you can do the make-up, haaaa. About the eyeliner thing, yeah my left eye is always prettier than the right! Haha, kudos, you did a great job; make another one soon. :)

eliza said...

haha loved this video, kept me entertained all the way through! i always think its interesting to see how other people do their makeup, i do mine in the complete opposite order to you! more vids i say! :)
