LCMF: First Vlog for Beauty Mint

Authored By: ellie g Author/Writer
February 29, 2012 --10:13 AM

Okay guys, I’m deep breathing today because I’m trying something BRAND NEW for me! A vlog.  Are you familiar? Probably. It’s not like it’s new. But essentially a “vlog” is a video blog. So like I wrote an entry….on a video.

What would prompt such a bold move?
Well………

I’m super excited to share something brand new with you (besides the whole vlog sitch)

Here’s a clue:

K, so come hang with me for a few minutes and see what all the fuss is about….(I promise a hysterical hair configuration….does that convince you?)

 

 

 

 

So? Whaddya think? I’m not kidding. I REALLY like Beauty Mint. And because they really like YOU….

 

They are offering a $10 discount for you to try the Beauty Mint system. (first time customers only)

All you have to do is enter the code

FROST

at checkout.

 

So what are you waiting for?  Oh….you want to watch my VLOG again?  Okay.  That’s understandable. {tee hee}

Watch it and THEN head over to Beauty Mint, and take your very own skin quiz to get started.

 

And hey, what’s the verdict on the whole “vlog” thing?  Should that become an endangered blogging species?  Or do you want me to throw that out there every now and then?

      Right? What the crap was I thinking? Next time I need your dad to come and hold the Mickey stick behind the camera so I can focus. ;) That was AWESOME.

      I’ve defied fetch? It’s like you yelled “you go Glen Co-Co! And none for Gretchen Weiners.” You know old Ken kicked the bucket…right? That house should become a monument to all things awesome.

      Still paying homage to you, my dear. Oh, and regarding that….please tell me you are doing a new animated short before SNAP! this year. Last year’s feature was the highlight of my life!

    When you say “my skin’s getting older and changing,” it makes me feel like I should have grandchildren. I’m like twice your age! I love your comment about those beauty commercials when they wash their faces and STILL have makeup on. We are friends. Oh, and you are a natural and have really cool hair.

      You are NOT twice my age. You ARE twice as cute as me though. And aren’t those commercials so stinking buggy? Hate them!

    Please explain to me how you look just as cute with NO make-up as you did with full make-up. Not fair.

    Okay so makeup on and off look the same to me. Loved your vlog! Do more, do more.

      You KNOW I don’t look the same. I should have done it with a gross t-shirt and toast on my teeth. That would have been super REAL.

    Oh goodness, you are so stinking cute. I loved your vlog. If you want an honest review I would say that yes, I love the vlog. It is nice to see someone’s real face and hear them really talk when on the internet. Although I can see vlogging (in general, not just you) becoming overused and not watched if the vlogger is just videoing themselves with nothing to say. It is an instant turn off to use my precious time watching a video that isn’t saying something. I’ve watched too many videos on youtube of people just smiling at the camera and repeating themselves.
    But that being said I am incredibly impressed with how you act in front of the camera! I get so nervous when I film myself that I have to film everything no less than seven times. So great job! And good review, I feel like I know what beauty mint is about now.
    thanks :)
    By the way, I love your blog. It’s like walking into a plum shop. I love the purple, and I love the content.

      Thank you so much, Beccamarie. I wasn’t really familiar with the whole “sit and talk to a camera” thing until I did a little pre-research for this video. There was a lot more of that then I ever knew. So funny. Hopefully I wouldn’t ever get to that point. You can tell me if I do. :)

    That vlog makes me MISS YOU so much!! And for reals- could you be any cuter? Not possible. The fact that you can take your make up off and still look fabulous makes me want to hate you. But I just love you even more.
