90th Video!

So I just uploaded my 90th video, guys!! Not all 90 of my videos are public, unfortunately, but video number 90 nonetheless :]
So that means I have 10 to go until video number 100!!
I want my 100th video to be special, and I'm thinking another giveaway!
I haven't heard anything after my first giveaway, and I'm hoping that the winner received the prize. I was worried because often packages without a last name for the recipient get sent back, and of course, I didn't include a return address, so I would never know? But I'm just hoping she got the ring & postcard.
As far as prizes for the 100th video giveaway, I'm thinking some nail polish & makeup. I wouldn't be able to get the prizes for a little bit, though, so I'd have to upload videos less until then, maybe only one a week (eeep). I've gotten really used to doing almost daily videos for you guys!!
But I actually might have to hold off filming for awhile, since my wisdom teeth healing is going a lot slower than I thought. I have one more video to edit and upload, which I was planning on uploading tomorrow. And I guess another one too, but I was planning on saving it for some later time. It's a dance/going out smoky eye look.
I have another video that I plan to film, another tutorial, which I think I might actually be able to do it if you guys are fine with another tutorial that is just an up close eye thing, without talking, and subtitle things instead. Talking hurts, which is why I haven't been making vlogs about my healing process (just constant tweeting haha) and my face is still rather swollen looking. I can tell more than other people, but still. So that's 3 videos toward the 10 I need to get to 100 :P
So let's see...I'm going to try to plan the upcoming 7 for you guys. Let's do this in list form.
And I'm not committing to doing these videos, it's kind of more of a brainstorm. If these end up not being the videos that I put up, then I'm sorry? Hahaha.
Here we go...so,
1. Egyptian Eye Makeup Tutorial - filmed, will be edited and uploaded soon.
2. Dark Smoky Eye - Good for Dances & Going Out Tutorial - filmed, not sure when I'll edit & upload.
3. Mermaid Eye Makeup Tutorial - plan to film early next week, if I don't have to talk/show my puffy face.
4. Adore Me Review (Part 2) - plan to film asap, pretty much as soon as I look like a normal human and can at least talk a decent amount without too much pain.
5. Zombie Makeup Tutorial - planned to film this one the Friday before Halloween. Hope I can.
6. My Halloween Costume! - I'm going to show you guys my Halloween costume, and link all of the tutorials I have that can help you get my Halloween look. Ideally this would be the video that goes up on Halloween or the day before...but we don't live in a perfect world...*sigh*
7. October Haul Video - I have a few things. Reminder to myself, stuff from Forever 21, Charlotte Russe, maybe art supplies? Anything else that I might buy...?
8. Revlon GrowLuscious Mascara - Does It Really Make Your Lashes Grow? - I did some before and after photos for this a LONG time ago. It's basically going to be a review and also whether I think it made my lashes grow or if it's just a really good mascara (but not a lash treatment). I've been planning to do this video FOREVER. I don't know why I never get to it.
9. The Monthly Pantyhose #1 - November - I don't know if this will be my 99th video or not. I might decide to do these at the end of the month. I just know that I'm going to start doing them. I really don't care anymore what creepy things are said to me. There's nothing wrong with doing videos about tights/nylons/pantyhose/whatever. If the block button has to be my bff, then so be it.
10. 100TH VIDEO GIVEAWAY!!
So I'd say that that is a pretty good plan. I didn't factor into it when my Ear Stretching Series videos will be uploaded, though. I have a schedule for filming and doing them in my planner. Also coming up, I'm going to be doing a November Haul, I've got a lot of things I plan on buying in November, hahaha, and I think my roommate and I are going to do the Roommate Tag, possibly. There will be more OOTD videos, and I think once my new job starts up I'll do a Work Clothes OOTD? I think I'm also going to make a video, Tutorial - How I Wash My Makeup Brushes because I feel like that would have been helpful for me when I was younger & more inexperienced? I actually got my soap mixture recipe type thing from Tami (tinytea5) so if I do that video, I'm definitely going to link that in the down bar. The point of it is like how I wash & dry them, though, so yeahz. There's got to be some cute Thanksgiving Tag to do in November, too, right? Hahaha. But yeah. That's pretty much the next few months of videos at a glance.
YOU GUYS SHOULD SUBSCRIBE TO MY SECOND CHANNEL!! I feel like if there were more subbies on that channel, I would upload more and do more with it. THERE ARE SO MANY POSSIBILITIES!! I think I'm going to make an attempt to make Wisdom Teeth Vlog #3 today. As soon as I can really do a lot of talking, I'm going to make a vlog describing the whole experience. It'll probably be really long. And I want to do more Shopping Vlogs where I secretly take you to the store w/ me and show you things. The only issue is that until I can get my iPhone videos to properly go onto my computer, I can't do a lot. I had to delete my iPhone video editing app, because it all just took up WAY too much room on my phone. Would you guys want to see random videos of me & my friends & family on my vlog channel? That would be really easy for me to do. What would I call them, though? Hmmm...
But yeah, tell me what you think! Oh, and PLEASE REQUEST TUTORIALS!! I love doing them, whether they get a lot of views or not, and want to know what kind of looks you guys want to see :]

Ear Stretching -- 12g to 10g

So, I filmed this video on Saturday. Since then, my right ear plug has been giving me all sorts of trouble. I might have to take the bands from my tapers and use them on the front of them, since it just won't stay in! On Monday I looked in the mirror to see that it was gone - but I still felt it in my ear! The tapered end went inside! And today I woke up and it had fallen out of my ear. I didn't notice until I was in the shower - thankfully my sister found it for me on my bed. I was freaking out, thinking it had went down the drain!!  It's weird, though, that only the right one is giving me trouble. I'll have a lot more to say when I do my progress video, though.
If you want to get these same plugs and tapers, here's a link to the site I use: http://www.bodyjewelrysource.com
The plug set that I have probably isn't the greatest in the world but it's so cheap for all of those! I was paying about that much for one set at the local store I was buying my plugs & gauges from!

More on Adore Me & my wisdom teeth!


Adore Me is the first lingerie website to give you the personalized shopping experience that sites such as jewelmint and boutiques.com do. Like jewelmint, their prices are set - $39.95 per set, always, and with free shipping and returns. Your showroom will change each month with new/updated products that they believe are suited to your style and taste. Signing up to the site doesn't mean you have to buy each month - but your showroom will always be updated.
The site will be up in November, and that is when you will be able to take your style quiz. If you sign up now, you will most likely receive an e-mail as soon as you are able to access the full site. And with the site up and running, there will be staff to assist you with any questions about sizing etc. It should be a very pleasant shopping experience. 
When I am able to complete my sample product review (which, again, will just be another talking video - I am in no way shape or form going to model the product) I will hopefully be able to give you an idea about the quality, sizing, etc. 
And don't forget about your personalized link you get when you sign up! Every 10 people who use your link and then sign up will get you a free set. 
Here is a link to the official site: http://www.adoreme.com
This is my personalized link: http://www.adoreme.com/25958 <-- yours will look similar to that
Only one person ever clicked mine (my sister, I think) and it emailed me when she did. So you will be kept notified about your progress, despite the fact that the site is not fully functional. 
Their facebook and twitter are linked on the homepage, but you can also get them from my Introduction Video, which I will link as well: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EOuDI_AD6XE I hope you guys check them out :] 
I'm hoping to not get a ton of hate for doing this video, I think that this website will be really cool. I'm not doing anything 'risque' or anything, either. So, fingers crossed. 
Tomorrow I am getting my wisdom teeth removed (aka the reason why I can't film a proper review video, after not having time to review the product during midterms) and I'm really frightened. 
Wish me luck! 
And if you want to keep track of how it all goes, I'm running a vlog series on my second channel, http://www.youtube.com/AmandaIThink
Here's a link to the vlog I uploaded today (where I freak out about food): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SmvlxU_lpug
I hope you guys have a great day/night (whenever you're reading this) and check out the previous entry to help me figure out ways to better integrate my blog to my youtube channel (aka the only reason I have this blog haha)

It's been a long time...

since I made an entry. I know. I'm sorry.
I keep putting the link to this blog in all of my videos, though, so I might as well use it.
I just need to come up with a way to better integrate it.
Like close up shots of finished tutorial looks?
Shots of my OOTD items w/ buying info - links if I can find them?
Further information on promotions and reviewed items?
Explanations for things?
I don't know. But this will be better, I hope.
