How To Use The Revlon One Step Hair Dryer And Volumizer! | W/ DEMO!

Topics Covered in “How To Use The Revlon One Step Hair Dryer And Volumizer!”

It has been a LONG TIME since I posted a YouTube video, but I wanted to come out of retirement after posting my previous Revlon One Step Hair Dryer and Volumizer post. I went back and forth in reading my own content and I just didn’t feel that words justified how amazing the Revlon One Step Hair Dryer and Volumizer truly is, nor did it show the final result! I quickly grabbed my camera, camera man (loving boyfriend Daniel), and out of nowhere, I was filming a new video after a 6 – month hiatus. Please enjoy my demo on how to use the Revlon One Step Hair Dryer, including the necessary and CRITICAL steps needed to get flawless salon hair in minutes!

Behind the Scenes:

I am going to be bluntly honest, I was so nervous! Despite not filming for more than half a year, I couldn’t do this video on my own and needed my boyfriend, Daniel, to film me. I don’t know about you, but I was PETRIFIED knowing my boyfriend could potentially judge my content, especially since he was right THERE! Anyway, I digress.

I swallowed my nervous pride and told Daniel to record. Little did I know the A/C turned on… the video sounded like we were in a cave! The video was mostly to show a demo on how to use the Revlon One Step Hair Dryer and Volumizer, not create a video worthy of an Oscar; moral of the story for those of you who film your own content and for myself, always check your surroundings before clicking record and make sure there aren’t any potential mishaps that could ruin all the hard effort you put into your video.

Despite all the things stacked up against me, my boyfriend managed to showcase to me that I have nothing to worry and to stick to my guns no matter how many imperfections I see coming into fruition. I took a deep breath and can honestly say, after that pep talk, I think I did my hair better than a typical salon!

Behind the Scenes:

After filming the first video, I knew I had to focus on a better background for the video and also figure out a more elaborate lighting setup. Here I am, walking around our apartment with one soft box light in one hand and a pillow in another. That was a sight to see! It was a disaster; the soft box light (which is larger and heavier than me) was flying all over the room with me in the back end tagging along for the roller coaster ride. Let’s just say, setting up my video caused such a catastrophe that we had neighbors knock on our door to make sure we were alive!

Once the setup was officially in position and the background met my standards (which I hope you all liked), the issue of what to film became the new dilemma of the night. It became so frustrating, that I went to do my makeup out of spite; to help me calm down. While I was applying my makeup, using it as a outlet to calm down from all the disasters that have been occurring, it hit me! Highlighters! The Best Highlighters! My top 5 highlighters! Morale of the story, if you are ever feeling down or frustrated, go do what you love! It gets rid of the cloudiness and thoughts that may be accelerating at 100 MPH in your head.

With that being said, please enjoy this video and let me know what are YOUR top 5 highlighters! Let’s begin the quest in finding the best highlighters together <3

The post The BEST Highlighters! My Top “5” Highlighters for 2020! appeared first on Simply Beauty Blog.

Hi everyone and welcome back to Angie’s “Simply Beauty Blog!” I am so excited to share with all of you that I am officially pushing forward on achieving my dreams and am officially starting a brand new YouTube Channel under the name of “My Simply Beauty.” This is truly such an amazing moment in my life and career and I couldn’t have made it this far without any of YOU!

Topics Covered in this Video:

In this video, I show you how I get my very natural and SUPER easy makeup routine that I wear daily. Since I have pretty oily skin, I also share some products that have totally changed the game for me lately. Oh, and there’s tons of tips on almost every step of the makeup process too! I hope you guys enjoy my very first video and keep a look out; there’s tons of content coming!

Behind the Scenes:

Filming this first video was BRUTAL! It was completely nerve – wrecking setting up the lighting (hence why I was a bit “lit up”), choosing a place in the house to record, and trying to speak low enough that my boyfriend Daniel wouldn’t hear (that’s why I was speaking so soft).

Looking into the camera and doing my makeup was much harder than I anticipated but I pushed on forward and created my very first video!

In order to release content onto YouTube for your respective channel, you need to make it first, hence the title “YouTube Channel Setup.” In order to make or create the content, you need to have the right tools capable of transferring your creative ideas that culminate in your mind onto film. Our philosophy in choosing our gear is a bit “anti-meta” and, in laymen’s terms, that means that we went with an approach that the majority of content creators don’t. Every YouTube video states that you can start with a smartphone and level up as your channel progresses, but, in our opinion, that isn’t the case in 2019. There is no better way of saying it, “You need to spend money, to make make money.”

In 2019, the amount of YouTube channels and content creators exploded, and getting noticed in a community where standards are set high (especially when you watch big YouTuber’s with 8K Cameras valued at $20,000) is difficult. In order to set yourself apart from the other people starting on YouTube, you definitely want to have a great setup that allows your content to be crisp and clear; I mean, think about it – how many times have you walked away from watching a video that potentially could have had Steven Spielberg content but the quality was “Potato” and you didn’t even give it a chance? In all honesty, that happened with both of us multiple times and led us onto an “anti-meta” philosophy that we aim to share with you all today.

One additional thing before we dive into our gear; this article by no means aims to force you to buy the most expensive filming gear. We are not filming for Warner Brother’s and IMAX audiences. This article aims to share our gear and explain our thoughts on why we feel using smartphones or budget cameras isn’t the best approach, especially for new YouTube channels. And remember, content is key but the quality is the lock which allows for the key’s potential to be shown/used. Without further adieu, likes jump into our YouTube Channel Setup!

1. Sony Alpha a6400 Mirrorless Camera:
Compact APS – C (Click Here for Price)

This camera was chosen for a variety of reasons. It provides 4K – Video support and amazing functionality in terms of the UI and features this small – body (very light) contains. It is reasonably priced, considered better than the current alpha models in features and value, and produces beautiful photos! For these reasons, we decided to invest a few hundred dollars more compared to the runner – up “Canon EOS Rebel T7i” which is much heavier, no 4K – Video, and worse auto – focus.

2. Sigma 16mm f/1.4 DN Contemporary Lens for Sony E (Click Here for Price)

*Watch our Unboxing Here*

We chose this lens for the beautiful wide angle shots that this lens produces and also the focus – distance! Our channel includes a lot of recording of the both of us on screen and, as a result, we need a wide angle lens. Now, why does the small focus – distance matter? For the creamy, buttery “Bokeh” that this lens takes!

3. Sony 50mm f/1.8 OSS Prime Lens for Sony E – Mount (Click Here for Price)

*Watch our Unboxing Here*

Everyone needs a great starter lens and the “Nifty – Fifty” is the perfect lens that includes stabilization and a great range for beautiful shots. This lens is our go – to for portraits and more specific photos that don’t need the vast majority of background that the Sigma Lens includes.

4. JOBY GorillaPod Tripod – 3k Kit (Click Here for Price)

Not only was this tripod on sale when we bought it (and currently continues to be so) but the functionality and versatility of this product peaked our interest and has us attaching this tripod all over, spanning different environments and vertical landscapes. Also, this tripod has a head with a integrated balance… what’s not to love!

5. Protection / Coverage for the Camera (Click on Item Title for Price)

The worst feeling in the world is when you buy something new and you damage it with a crack or scratch. In order to prevent that we invested into three things:

A) Glass Screen Protector for a6400: Protects against scratches and smudges left by your face while using the View – Finder.

B) Tarion M-02 Canvas Camera Backpack: Classy – looking backpack sporting a safe – enclosed camera compartment.

C) Tarion Camera Shoulder Neck – Strap: For sense of security and to prevent the camera from falling out of your hands and hitting the ground.

6.NP-FW50 RAVpower Camera Batteries Charger Set

Cheap alternative to Sony – Branded battery pack replacements; also sports a nice rechargeable station – dock and comes with TWO additional batteries. Definitely worthwhile, especially when shooting 4K – Video footage away from an outlet.

7. UURig R006 A6400 Vlog Camera Hand Grip L Plate

If you have done any research on the A6400 camera, you already know that mounting a microphone blocks the ability to see yourself clearly when adjusting the camera LCD screen for “Selfie Mode.” In order to combat this problem, we purchased this cheap L – Plate that conveniently allows you to place the microphone on the side of the camera, freeing up the top – mounting plate.

8. SanDisk 128GB Extreme MicroSD UHS-1

After doing extensive research, we aimed to purchase a memory card that can handle 4K – Video Footage and be transferred onto our computer fast. The winner to this decision in terms of speed, compatibility, and value (severely discounted over the last few weeks) was the SanDisk Extreme 128GB. We highly recommend if you buy SanDisk, buy from Amazon and not other sellers on Amazon; also, contact SanDisk customer support and read them the serial number on the USB chip to confirm whether or not it is a fake or not

9. SanDisk MobileMate USB 3.0

In order to transfer your files fast from the USB to your computer, you will need a compatible USB card reader; SanDisk MobileMate USB 3.0 is cheap and gets the job done.

10. Lighting (Click on Item Title for Price)

• Budget: Neewer 700 Watt Professional Photography Softbox Lighting Kit
• Professional: GVM 3 – Pack LED Video Lighting Kits

All together, these items create an unforgettable experience and a dream setup like no other. We highly recommend clicking on the links and learning more about the products as this article was not intended on describing the functionality and parameters of the items.

Before you go, here are some tips on affording all of these items.

• Purchase the Camera with “Body – Only.” This reduces the prices by $100 dollars, assuming you were considering the $1,000 version, and allows you to invest that $100 dollars into a lens that provides better quality.
• Become a Amazon Prime Member and sign up for their Credit Cards. This allows you to save on Shipping and opens Financing Options to you. In our opinion, spending $50 dollars a month is better than $1,500 dollars at once. It is always better to have that lump sum laying around for a rainy – day then giving it up all at once.
• Watch prices on Camelcamelcamel.com. This website allows you to see an item’s pricing report and you can see what the lowest price recorded for that particular item and when.

Take these items, tools, and tips and apply them to create works of art for your YouTube channel.
