Coming Soon!!

My friend that was visiting accidently took my camera charger so I'm waiting for her to send it to me so that I can start with all the shenanigans (or however you spell it) that I have planned.
Today I went to the swap meet in San Diego and got a ton of new MAC products that I want to swatch and review. So a MAC haul will be coming very soon! <3
I don't own a lot of MAC products so it's fun to see my collection grow and now I understand why most beauty gurus are obsessed with it. MAC products are very reliable and super pigmented which makes thier products very worth thier money. I'm so excited about everything I got, and I got alot!
So yeah... A MAC haul will be coming very soon =)

New "Ombre" Hair

I'm leaving to go up to Utah in a week and a half and then from there going to Idaho to move in for freshman year! In Utah, there is this amazing hair stylist named Clint who cut my hair before and he's going to be cutting and coloring it again. My hair has been so many different colors but I have never bleached it before... I'm kind of scared but I know how to take care of processed hair so I'm feeling less apprehensive about it. It's called Ombre and I've seen it on a lot of celebrities and I love how it looks. This look is very bohemian chic which suits my style almost to a tee.
Here are some pictures of what it might look like...

It's darker on the top and lighter at the bottom, as you can see, and it seems like it would be very easy to manage which is something that's very important since I will be a struggling college student. I am always doing different things to change up my hair because I love change. I am not completely sold on this idea yet but everyone that I've talked to about it thus far has agreed to commit and take a leap of faith. Why not??
Let me know what you think =)

I hate whenI lose things...

So I got all excited about creating my new YouTube channel and I started filming a tutorial. Halfway through the tutorial my camera ran out of battery and died. At first this was no big deal because I could simply charge it. But in order to charge a camera one must use a camera charger and mine seems to have gone missing. I've been searching everywhere and praying that it'll show up, and to my luck... it's nowhere to be found.
Perfect timing right?
Instead of having a YouTube channel/blog/twitter day, I will be having a search for Briana's camera charger/freak out day. Greattttt.
Hopefully I'll find it soon or come up with an alternative.

New YouTube Channel!

I am so excited because I will be starting a new YouTube channel today! I haven't filmed anything yet but I have lots of ideas. My only setback is not being able to edit the video material in the way that I would like beacause I am not very technology savy, but I'm sure I'll figure it out.
I am a huge fan of a lot of beauty gurus on YouTube and can't wait to join them in the video making world. It seems like starting this channel a week and a half before I leave for college might not be such a good idea because my filming environment will change and I wont have a Sephora or Ulta at my fingertips like I do here in San Diego. I am hopeful that I will still be able to do beauty and fashion hauls even if it means shopping online.
I will definitely post my vidoes from my new channel so keep a lookout!
