New Youtube Video: Review on the Boots Expert Sensitive Gentle Eye Make-Up Removal Lotion!

I feel like whenever I'm blogging, haha I'm always either munching on something, or am drinking something!  Well, like always, I'm doing exactly that!  Except, it's kinda of a more weird combination this time compared to last time!  haha Instead of just concentrating on one drink, I'm taking turns drinking two!  Anyway, I'm drinking a yummy box of Coconut Flavored Vitasoy Milk (my current favorite beverage!) & taking turns sipping on my hot water, cause I have braces and I want to make sure that my mouth is rinsed whenever I'm drinking or eating something sweet!  haha cause I don't want the sugar to eat up my bracket glue!!

Anyway, the whole point of this blog is to talk about my new youtube video!!!! Yay!  Last weekend, I filmed a Review on the Boots Expert Sensitive Gentle Eye Make-Up Removal Lotion!  So far I've been writing my reviews on my blog, and I just thought that it'd be a fun idea for me to film a video review, so for those who would rather watch a video than to read a blog post, this is perfect!  =)  And that's exactly what I did!  Let me show you guys that video, and then I'll give a brief summary of it!  

Click the Video Below to Watch: 

Below is a picture of how my entire thumbnail looks like!  
Besides talking about the product, and giving my own opinion on it, I also included a demonstration, showing everyone how the product works, so I hope that's helpful!  I also gave a detailed description of what Lanolin is, which is an ingredient that the Boots make-up remover didn't contain, so check my video out if you want to learn about what Lanolin is!  I think it's so so important to understand a product prior to purchasing it, and I guess despite me being a total hypocrite while advising that LOL, I got really lucky! =)   
Alright, so first of all, before I begin my summary, I just want to take the time to talk about my hair!  =) haha I trimmed my overly long literally non-existent side bangs  into front bangs...the day before I filmed the video, and yah so far I'm really loving it!  =)  Anyway, I'll include pictures of my bangs later on in the post!  
SUMMARY BEGINS! 
Alright, so it was probably around half a year ago, that I started wearing make-up more often!  As of now, I still don't wear my make-up on a daily basis, but I do it way more often than when I was in college.  Since I started wearing more make-up, I started using make-up removers to remove my make-up, because a normal cleanser is simply not enough to clean of my make-up! So far, I've finished up 2 bottles of eye make-up removers already, one of them being Estee Lauder's Eye Make-Up Remover.  I don't quite remember how that one worked, but it was on the more high-end and pricey side, so I decided to experiment with drug store eye make-up removers.  
My experimenting brought me to my second eye make-up remover, which was from L'oreal.  Despite me finishing the entire bottle, I disliked the product because often times, the product would seep into my eye while I'm cleaning my eye make-up, and would cause me to go through a lot of pain!  I'd end up having to drop my cotton pad filled with the make-up remover, and start rinsing my eye out with water even before I'm done cleaning my eye make-up off.  I really disliked using the L'oreal eye make-up remover...but I really don't like to waste things, so I endured the pain and finished the entire bottle up!  Here's a picture of the one I'm talking about!  
IMAGE ABOVE IS FROM GOOGLE.COM
Yep, that's the one I'm talking about, so nope I wouldn't recommend it!  
Anyway, soon after I finished the L'oreal eye make-up remover, I moved onto using the Boots Expert Sensitive Gentle Eye Make-Up Removal Lotion (because the name is so long, I'm going to call it the Boots Eye Make-Up Remover =)).  
IMAGE FOUND ON GOOGLE.COM
During the time that I purchased the Boots Eye Make-Up Remover, I actually had no knowledge of the brand!  A worker at target actually introduced it to me, and learning that it's dermatologically tested and oil based (which meant removing make-up from eye will become a smoother process), and seeing that it only contained 7 ingredients.... I decided to try it out!  I forgot how much it cost, but it costs $5.49 on us.boots.com!  It's a pretty good price for such a big bottle!  So far I've used it for a few months, and I'm not even half way done, so yep it's definitely a really good price for how long it can last!  
In my video review, I basically gave a super detailed description and introduction regarding the Boots Expert Sensitive Gentle Eye Make-Up Removal lotion, and I strong recommend you to watch it if you want to learn more about this product, or if you are looking for a good and recommendable and affordable eye make-up remover!  
Hope this post was helpful, and yep haha remember to check out the video! LOL =P
To end this post, here are some picture of my bangs!  So far I'm really loving them! =)  ( I think I said that already....
I'm actually considering keeping them!  This is my third time having front bangs, and having this be the 3rd time experimenting with cutting bangs, I think my hair cutting skills are seriously improving!!! LOL =)  I wonder how often I need to trim them!  I never know!  And before I know it, they get too long, and eventually become side bangs again!  Anyway, thanks for visiting my blog guys, have a great day!

New Youtube Video: Winter Collective Haul Part 1!!!! =)

So...I know that there are many cultures out there, and people follow different traditions and all!  As a traditional Chinese Asian, I've grown up following the tradition of buying new clothes and necessities for the new year!  =)  I grew up learning that a new year, meant new clothing and necessities, which meant a new start, and a new and good luck for the year!  Whew...wow that was a mouthful of words!  Anyway, following that tradition, I actually bought quite a good amount of clothing for 2013!  I'm the type of person who loves shopping.  lol I like finding good deals, and I guess maybe buying a top or two every so often, but I never splurge on clothing!

Anyway, my favorite store is and has always been Forever21!  And guess what?  That's exactly where I bought most of my clothes!  I'm sure I've mentioned this before, but throughout the passed few years, I've actually began to shop less at Forever 21, because I felt that it's prices got higher.  It's either that, or it's cause I actually learned how hard it is to make money!  It's so easy to take things for granted when things are constantly given to you...well in this case, me.  So yah... I started shopping less at Forever 21.  It was last year that I learned of Forever 21's awesome end of the season sale, where everything on sale is an extra 50% cheaper than the already marked-down price!  Therefore, haha I went a little crazy, and shopped shopped and shopped!  =)  I bought a lot of things for this year, and I really wanted to share what I bought; therefore, I made a video to show you guys my awesome finds! =) hahahaha

Video Below!  Please Watch! =):


It was so much fun filming this video, and I actually have a part 2 coming up!  The video would be way too long if I showed everything I had, so I decided to split my purchases into two videos!  So remember to stay tuned for that one! =)  

My youtube channel, is Sparkling Louder, and a list of my videos can be found on the right hand side of my blog!  

My post today is simple and straight to the point....minus the first two paragraphs, LOL but anyway, hope the video is enjoyable!  

Anyway, before I end this post, I just wanted to share a video on my blog!  I was being the typical Wing, roaming through youtube and watching cute animal videos, and I came across this video that brought a smile onto my face!  It's about a tortoise helping it's friend (another tortoise who is flipped over, and struggling to flip back to it's feet)flip up!  So cute!  


Hope this video brought a smile on your face as well!  haha the tortoise moves pretty slow, but nonetheless, I still find the video very cute and touching!

New Youtube Video: Favorite Fall & Winter Nail Polishes! =)

Blogging Time! =)  

Sitting in front of my laptop with a yummy cup of hot Asian Traditional Green Tea (tbh it's not really yummy...not flavorful at all, but I love the taste of it! Plus I know it's good for the body.)

Anyway, I'm not sure if I have mentioned this before, but I absolutely love doing my nails!  I like getting my nails done too...but as I have mentioned in my previous post..
(here it is: http://sparklelouder.blogspot.com/search/label/My%20Current%20Obsession)
 I just don't think it's worth spending the money.  Anyway, I've been doing my nails pretty often lately, and I've gathered a few of my favorite nail polishes and colors that I find favorable for the Fall and Winter.  haha Incase some of you guys don't know.....


Announcement!:

If I hadn't searched it up, I probably would have guessed that it was already winter...cause it's december, but nope!  Winter just barely begins 4 days before Christmas!  

Anyway off topic... so as I've mentioned, I gathered a few of my favorite nail polishes that I really love for Fall, and would most likely wear for winter as well!  I really wanted to share my favorite nail polishes with you guys on my blog, but wasn't really sure how I should do it! haha so I decided to make a video!

For those of you who don't know, I actually created a youtube Channel in October.  
My Youtube Channel is: SparklingLouder.  
haha not Sparkle Louder like this blog, but SparklingLouder! =)  I have a video bar on the right hand side of my blog, so it should display all my recent videos!  

I'm not sure what I want to do for my next video, but I'm thinking about making one on my Winter Fashion Outfit ideas or something along that line!  haha I absolutely love fashion, and yeah haha I think I'll have a lot of fun making a video displaying my outfits and all!  

One thing that bothers me with my videos are the black bars on both sides.  Because my camera is pretty old.... my camera films at a 4:3 standard aspect ratio, instead of a 16:9 aspect ration.  It's probably been 5 years since I've had my camera!  Though it's beaten up and stuff...cause I am such a horrible owner...I absolutely love it!  I've had so many memories with it, and I'll be sad replacing it with a new one!  =(  But despite me loving it, I can't wait to have an updated new camera or camcorder!  haha it is my goal to one day save enough money to splurge on a camera or camcorder! =)  haha hope that day comes soon!  

Anyway, hope you guys enjoyed my video and post!  Have an awesome night! =)

SPARKLING LOUDER: My Very First Youtube Channel!

Before I go on with my announcement, I just wanted to mention something odd.  I went on my blog as usual, and I realized that one of my blog post was missing.  Not sure what happened.  I'm sure I didn't delete it or anything....which is weird.  I wish we had like a trashcan folder, where we could retrieve deleted posts.  But oh well, maybe I'll write another blog post entry in the future regarding the same topic.  

Anyway, enough with that!  


Beginning my announcement with a recent picture of mine!  (Fun Fact:  My favorite place to take pictures at would probably be my car!  haha I don't know about you guys, but I love how the lighting changes whenever the car turns to a different direction!)  
Anyway, I'm am happy to announce that I am officially starting my own Youtube Channel! =) 
 -SPARKLING LOUDER-
yay!  I'm a little nervous about it, but at the same time, I'm quite excited!  haha I said those exact same words in video!  But it's so true!  

Here is my first  haul video!  =)  



K, so lets start with how this all began.  I have to admit, growing up I  wanted to be a celebrity (not anymore...don't know why I mentioned that!) !  LOL  but of course, along with being a celebrity, I wanted to be many things, a nurse, a doctor, a lawyer, a teacher, a veterinarian, a librarian, a fashion designer, a stylist, omg just everything!  Most of those dreams started fading away, but what did stay is my passion and love for fashion, styling, and designing.   That's why I decided to go to Fashion School.  Most of my peers went to an academic based college, but I was one of the  3 who didn't.  I love going on youtube to watch hauls, room tours, DIYs, and just stuff like that.  I feel like I've learned so much from my favorite youtubers and gurus, that throughout time I just wish I could do the same for others!   haha I'm just someone out of the ordinary, but I am very hopeful!  

The channel I have created is named SPARKLING LOUDER.   I wanted to make it Sparkle Louder like my blog, but unfortunately the name was already taken!  SPARKLING LOUDER will be my little hub where I can express myself, and everything I love!  

It actually took me a while, and a bit of hesitation before putting my first video up.  I had to clearly and calmly think to myself whether it is something I wanted to do.  And at the end I did it, I post my very first video up!  I'm crossing my fingers and hoping for the best! =)  On the side of my blog, right under my profile picture will be something titled SPARKLING LOUDER: YOUTUBE CHANNEL.  Right underneath will be a list of my most recent videos!  Hope that'll make things more convenient for everyone!  =)  

I received my very first comment a few days ago by someone super sweet.  I don't know if they'll end up reading this blog post, but they basically subscribed to my channel, and told me to keep up with the good work, and wished me good luck!  haha I just wanted to give a big thanks to that person, and let them know that I'll probably remember that comment forever!  It's my first, and it means a lot to me!  I will continue making videos, and working hard on them!  =)  

Anyway, haha that is it to my announcement!  I actually have an idea of what type of video I'll be making next, and I'm probably going to work on it today!  =)  

Hope everyone has a wonderful day, and I'll talk to you guys next time! =)
