April Favorites + Surprise Video!

Hello!!!

I have a surprise for you guys today!! I made a YouTube video talking about my monthly beauty favorites for April!! Please keep in mind that I haven't made a YouTube video in years and I was extremely nervous while filming this. I also talk fast and ramble when I'm nervous. I'm still trying to figure out good places to film, how to set up my camera and lighting, how to edit videos, etc! I hope you guys enjoy watching it!

April Beauty Favorites 
I picked a few things that I have been using a lot this month. The Semi Sweet palette you have all seen me talk about tons of times but I seriously use it everyday! 

Also, I don't know much about videos and uploading and stuff so many one of you guys can help me out. When I record and process the video on my computer its all in HD but when I upload to youtube, it won't let me watch it in HD. This happened with the document your life video I just made as well. All of my other ones never did this and I can't figure it out. Anyone know why? 

I hope you all enjoyed the video and this post! Leave me some feedback or suggestions for videos in the future!

  4. I love the video and it's just really lovely to finally see you in action and hear you, Ashley! And haha to you feeling like you're talking to yourself, I guess it is a little awkward, eh? I hope you'll do more videos and slowly you'll get used to it. And LMAO at the bloopers, thanks for the morning giggle! xx

  5. You did a great job Ashley!!! Look at you! You better create more! You were straight to the point and kept it moving. I love Urban Decay's foundation. I'm on my second one. I'm still trying others, but it's always the one I reach for. I'm blushing at the shout out! Thanks girl! That was so cool. I subscribed, so I'll get updates when you post. Those bloopers were too funny! Love Mary Lou and Chocolate Bar. Thumbs UP girl! Keep it up!
