EXCITING ANNOUNCEMENT!

So...most of you know that I've been hinting at some exciting things happening here at KBS HQ on my social networks, and now that all of the paperwork is done, I can finally share it with you guys!

I've partnered my YouTube channel with Boom, a Youtube Network, representing over 350 Australian YouTubers!

So what does this mean? Well, the bottom line is that I can start to earn a few bucks from my YouTube content again, and I will hopefully have some opportunities to bring you guys more and better content, as well as collaborative efforts with some other YouTubers!

Here's why this kind of recognition is important to me: I've said this privately to some of my friends, and I feel like it's something that people should know.

As a blogger/vlogger, there are so many lists and programs that you can buy your way into. If someone has a string of "official blogger" tags and buttons down the side of their blog page, you can almost guarantee that they are paying for the bragging rights. But when someone comes to you and says "Hey, I like your content, and I want to work with you to make sure you get the very most out of it", that's kind of awesome. To be sought out and recognized for the hard work that I have put into my content is a really good feeling.

I'm really looking forward to working with Boom over the next 12 months and beyond!

MY YOUTUBE CHANNEL IS RELOCATING

As you all know, I am having some success with my YouTube channel, and there are some things coming up that I really would love to be a part of. In order to do this, I need to relocate my YouTube content to a new channel.

I'll be slowly moving my more popular videos over there in the next week or so, and I even have some brand new content over there for you guys (an awesome Lush haul that I'll post more of here on my blog later this week!).

What I'd really love is for those of you already subscribed to my YouTube channel to click through the annotation in my video below and subscribe to the new channel, which is where I'll be posting my new content from now on, and for those of you who aren't currently subscribed to go ahead and check out the new channel and see if it's something you'd like to see more of. More subscribers = better opportunities to make amazing videos for you guys!

You can find the new channel at www.youtube.com/katysbeautychannel

Fun tag: $20 makeup challenge plus swap with TheAinsleeyx!

This week, for a bit of fun, I did a swap and $20 makeup challenge with TheAinsleeyx from YouTube! We had tonnes of fun and I can't wait to work with her again. You can find her on YouTube HERE.

Check out the video below to see what she sent me and how I turned it into a full face of makeup, proving that you don't have to have the most expensive products or the best tools to make your face work.

Violet box review June 2013

TAG! Colours of the Rainbow.

I just did the YouTube tag "Colours of the Rainbow", in which I show you guys a product in every colour from the rainbow. Here's the video for that, and some pics of other Rainbow-Coloured items I love:

February favourites!

I know, I know, we're almost halfway through March, but my week off has pushed my schedule around a little bit.

Anyway, I finally got around to filming my February Favourites video, and here it is! You'll have to excuse my post-workout hair and sweaty forehead, it's been almost 3 weeks since we had a day under 30C, and it's so humid here. With my little daylight bulb up, it was really super warm in my room.

So here it is, my February favourites!

Youtube Saturday! January Favourites & Empties.

Now that the new year has started, I'm really going to try to stick to my new schedule, and get a good routine happening, so that you guys know what to expect on each day, and I can have a bit of a working routine that I can stick to and keep myself organized.

So. today is Saturday and that means that I owe you a youtube video! I didn't have a lot of products that were new in January, so this favourites video is a mix of favourites and empty products that I used up in January.

I think the video pretty much speaks for itself, so here goes:

How-to: Nail art (video)

I've just uploaded my first tutorial to youtube! Usually, I'd cue the post up for a regular blog day, then show you all, but i just couldn't wait!

Let me know what you think of it, and whether you'd like to see more of these kinds of tutorials set to music just showing you what I do.

Here it is:
