Turning Over a New Leaf

Hi loves!

I'm back from my little hiatus and wanted to take some time to extrapolate on my video with the same title as this post. 

In essence, my level of comfort with some of the beauty community on YouTube has diminished drastically within the past few months. It is not necessarily due to anything that was done wrong, but merely I believe my eyes were awoken to some of the not so pleasant aspects of the makeup world. At the very basic level of it all, the makeup industry gets its money by exploiting one of a women's most vulnerable traits. Her insecurities. Thin lips? Plumping lipstick! Round face? Contouring bronzer with fix that right up! And so on and so forth. I've taken a stance on this that is leading me to limit how much makeup I am putting on my face. I don't want women to think that it makes me better than them or that I am so brave for doing so. Not wearing makeup is my rejection of the standard of beauty that is upheld in the United States and many other parts of the world today. By tossing my foundation aside I'm saying to the world, "So what if I don't have porcelain skin? It doesn't make me any less of a person!" The ability to accept ourselves the way we truly are is liberating. If being bare-faced makes me ugly then SO WHAT. We don't have to be attractive for anyone. Own it. Let your confidence come from you and not how you are perceived by the world. 

That was shorter than I expected but I think I did a good job of getting it across. Leave any questions down below.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Hi Everyone!

I hope your 2015 is going well so far. I wanted to make this post to say that I probably will not have a video up until the end of the month, due to the fact that I am taking the SAT on January 24th and have to be studying like crazy until then. Worry not though, I'm going to link my last 3 videos right here in case you missed them. I'm really happy with them because I got the Final Cut Pro X editing system for Christmas so I have been able to explore the ins and outs of that. It has been super fun and I'm loving it a lot as you will be able to tell if you watch the videos! I also got studios lights that I haven't set up yet, but definitely will be utilizing in the next video you see from me. I have also been very obsessed with Pinterest recently (and it is a great way to destress) so follow me right here --> http://www.pinterest.com/lilygloss/ if you want to see some interaction from me for the next two weeks or so. Anyways, I'll miss you all lots!

Basic "First Post", Post

Hello!
I've wanted to start up a corresponding blog for my YouTube channel for a long long long long *inhales* long long long long time. *Exhales*. So, that is what I come to you today with! I suppose this will coincide with my videos (updating with new ones, photos shedding new light to them, close ups of products, outfits of the day, etc.). But, I want it to be special to. Not your average blog so to speak. A blogloss, if you will. Hmm maybe I'll make that the title, yes yes.
In case you've just stumbled upon this or watch my videos and literally know nothing about me, first: muhahaha, second: My name's Lily and I'm a junior in high school. I like a lot of things and don't really not like a lot of things. I'm sure we'll become more well acquainted with one another as time goes on. As least I hope so because of now I must seem oh so boring. Now you know two more things about me. Hehe.
But anyways, here's the link to my latest video:

As well as all my social media outlets in case you want to follow me there too. Hehe.
