Fancy winnin' a little somethin'?? How about winning the UD Naked Palette?

Yahaaaaaaaa! I have opened my contest to you guys to win the Urban Decay Naked Palette!!!!!!

Rules:
1. YOU HAVE TO BE A SUBSCRIBER to my YouTube Channel! - It just makes sense, y'know, since I wanna thank all my subscribers =P
2. Leave a comment below the video ON YOUTUBE (link below) with a request or a question - it can be the most stupid request/question ever, just try and steer clear of 'enter me' , 'cause that's boring ;P - You can COMMENT AS MANY TIMES AS YOU WISH!
3. You don't have to be over 18 to enter. But if you're younger than 18 and you win, I will need parental permission saying it's okay for you to give me your address. If you're over 18 you're fine to enter as long as you're okay with giving me you're address... How else will you get the prize? =]
4. Contest is INTERNATIONAL and open to absolutely everyone... elephants, monkeys, bananas in pyjama's... I don't care who or what you are - as long as you live on Planet Earth (physically ;) ) I have no problem with you entering.

Contest Time?

Hey all!

I posted a video about a week back asking my subscribers if I should have a contest and if I do would I get entries? So I thought I'd post a bulletin here as well and ask you guys if you think you'd enter if I did?

Since I haven't got a massively great response on my video, the contest will probably be in about a month or so and will most likely be a comment entry contest. If you think you'll enter, or you have any ideas for the contest please let me know! =]

Thanks

One Year Anniversary! =D

Yerp! Today marked my one year anniversary of making videos on youtube, and I can honestly say that I could NEVER have done it without all of the support my subscribers and everyone else has generously given me!

I remember sitting in front of the camera for the very first time with my horribly ungroomed eyebrows, filming my 'Grey and purple look'. I watch it now and I actually cringe at how posh my accent comes across and I remember how uncomfortable I was talking to myself - all in the hope that people would see it and subscribe (false hope maybe?) ... I must have done something right because I did gain subscribers, so I carried on making videos and here I am a year later with 187 subscribers (I know that's probably not that much for some of you but it's a lot for me, and it means a lot to me too), and over 20,000 views on one of my videos (I still can't believe that every time I say it haha).

I have to admit that I've learnt a lot about make-up in the last year and I'm 100% sure that I'll carry on learning more, and (unfortunately for my bank account) my make-up collection will continue to grow exponentially!

For now though, I'd just liked to throw out a MASSIVE thank you to all my subscribers... and once I start my job in September I'm definitely going to be having a contest to show how much I appreciate the support from you guys! Sure, I was laughed at, and still am by many I'm sure, but it's your support that means the most to me! =D

I hope I can continue to give you videos that you want to watch (remember to send me in your requests because that's how I know EXACTLY what you guys wanna watch) and I hope that you continue watching enjoy watching my videos!

Thank you guys soooooooooo much for everything!

So great to finally be smiling again! =D

If you know me well, or you're just a lovely person to talk to and easy to get on with, you probably know that the last 5/6 months have been Hell for me. I know I've probably been really miserable and annoying to be around haha, but so much has happened in these past few months that have just helped me get through it all and I have massive thank you's to say! First to Racheal (one of the bestest mates ever), Rob (for just having a go at me every time I have a relapse - it's like Rehab for the depressed HAHA) and everyone else from uni who have put up with all my high's and low's ... possibly more low's than high's! And I have to say thank you to Kandee Johnson as well... Honestly! I don't know her, never met her in my life... or vice versa... but I read her blog posts and they just inspire me to smile everytime =D! ...

I'm not gonna lie... most days I've woken up and thought "You have to smile today, Chanel or people are just gonna stop talking to you!!" even though I didn't want to smile ... and I tried hard to smile during the day even though I didn't really want to deep down inside... but I knew that I HAD to want to otherwise I probably never would smile again. If that makes any sense? Like, when you know you don't wanna do something, so you don't. But you know you have to WANT to do it because you have to get it done and wanting to do that thing is your only incentive! Get it? I hope that makes sense haha!

Moving on from all the thank you's and confusing-ness, I have to say that last night was probably the best night out I've had in SOOOO long and for once during the 5/6 months of being miserable, I found myself smiling... and I mean REALLY smiling. Not faking a smile; not thinking about a happy memory and smiling and then being all down, thinking I'll never have that again; not smiling because everyone else did; I smiled because I was happy on the inside and it showed on the outside! And I loved every minute of it!

So, I'm gonna close here but I'll leave you with some pictures of last night! We went down to China Town for a meal and then to Leicester Square for drinks! I got my face licked (which was very horrible!! haha) and beer spilt on me, my camera AND Edward (my phone =P ... yes I name my valuables! lol) ... but all in all it was an awesome night and I hope it wasn't a one off! =] 

 Visit/add me on facebook to see more piccies! hehe

Love to everyone who's been there for me through everything! =D
