If you know of a YouTube trendsetter who you think deserves to be featured on Fashion Trend Spotting, let me know! Leave a comment with the person’s YouTube channel name and url.

I do ask that you keep this criteria in mind when spotting trendsetters:

• Must be original
• Must be genuine
• Must be a regular YouTube user (meaning he/she must post at least 1-2 times per month)
• Must not contain any vulgar or foul language, videos, or photos

Can’t wait to see who you’ve Spotted!!

I had the honor this week of hosting an e.l.f. MUAH (Make Up At Home) Party at my house here in Alabama. I can’t tell you how excited I was to showcase the e.l.f. (Eyes Lips Face) cosmetic line – ’cause you know us Southern Belles just love our makeup! I have been a fan of e.l.f. for a while now. Not only do they have amazing products but they have amazing prices! Almost all their products are around $1, $3, or $5. The bigger full sets are around $15. It’s the perfect combination!

I also had the chance to meet Ted Rubin, (CEO at e.l.f. Cosmetics) while I was at Blog World in Las Vegas this past summer and he is such a fun, down-to-earth guy but also brilliant with this business.

So this week I invited a whole crew of ladies over to my place to introduce them to e.l.f. The mistake I made was holding the party the week of Christmas because so many of the women had to go to other Christmas parties. But we still had a blast with those who attended.

Here’s a look at the set-up for the party!


I live-streamed the whole party and completed 2 live makeover demos for the livestream viewers. I had about 20 live viewers over the course of the evening, which was wonderful. People were great about asking questions about what colors I used, what brushes I was using, etc.

I demo-ed 2 different looks, Bright Spring & Holiday Dramatic. I wanted our viewers to see that they can do just about anything with e.l.f. products.

Take a look at the live video of the two makeovers below. (I apologize, things didn’t go exactly as planned on the livestream, and the video kept freezing, so I had to stop and start it several times. Also, the intro part where I explained what a MUAH party is didn’t record, but you will still be able to see the live demos.)

The gals all had so much fun playing in the makeup and giving each other makeovers… the star product was the Healthy Glow Bronzing Powder! It was a HUGE hit! I’m pretty sure everyone ran out to Target or logged on to eyeslipsface.com to buy it the very next day!
