Ring Light Unboxing & First Impression !! AW Pro 19" Dimmable Ring Light...





After countless nights researching affordable ring lights, I decided to invest in the AW Pro 19" Dimmable Ring Light that I purchased from Amazon. I bought this light for only $104.95, which is an amazing deal considering that the Diva Ring Lights can cost around $300. I received my package in 2 short days, and although the box lacked a "fragile" sign, the package was protected through paper and double boxing. The bag that the ring light comes in also provides extra padding to protect the ring light. This company places cardboard around the ring light so that if the bulb came loose from the brackets, it would not be able to move all around.



Another major selling point for this company and this specific ring light is that for the affordable price, you receive a ring light that is dimmable, a carrying case for it, as well as a diffuser. Many ring lights come with a cloth diffuser, but this company provides plastic pieces in a set of 4 that easily clip on the ring light. I found that these diffusers helped to disperse the light, which gave a softer look overall.



The original light stand that I bought was the Ravelli 10 ft. light stand. I bought this one because it was heavy duty, and I wanted a stand that would support the weight of the ring light. After the money invested in the light, I figured why not invest in a stand that would support the weight. However, this stand was way too tall. I loved the product, but due to the height, I could not adjust it low enough to sit in a chair and have my face in the center of the ring light. I decided to return the stand, and instead purchased a shorter light stand on Amazon.



I am still awaiting the arrival of this stand, but I will make a new video later to discuss my full lighting and filming setup in which I will talk about the new light stand.



I am so excited to be able to film at night now, and plan to invest in some soft boxes to light up the background as well. I highly recommend this company and this ring light! For such an affordable price, the light is stunning! Stay tuned for new and improved videos with this amazing light!

October Favorites | Beauty Glam Fashion



Check out my latest YouTube video about my October beauty favorites!

In this video I talk about the Ulta Matte Prime Face Primer. This primer glides on really smooth, and fills in pores to create a smooth surface for the makeup to be applied to. The Maybelline Matte & Poreless Foundation in Nude Beige (125) has been my go-to foundation this month. It does exactly as it says, and works with the primer to fill my pores and create a matte finish to my skin. For concealer, the Maybelline Age Rewind Concealer in Light works amazingly to provide full coverage that does not feel cake-y. My favorite bronzer by far is the Benefit Hoola bronzer. This shade works perfectly for a nice contour shade in all seasons. The Fantastico Mauve blush from Milani's Baked Blush line has remained my holy grail blush. The mauve color with specks of white, gold, and light pink create a flawless, blend-able, natural blush color. To set all of this face powder, the Neutrogena Shine Control is my favorite translucent powder to blend everything together and create a matte finish.

Random favorites include the Secret Ooh-la-la Lavender deodorant and the Maybelline makeup remover wipes.



For face products, the Anastasia Beverly Hills Self Made Palette is a new favorite of mine! The colors in this palette are so versatile that you can create many different gorgeous looks. I love the deep purple and the isla (mint green) colors because they are so different. This palette contains all of the colors you would need to make a complete eye look including crease shades, highlight shades, and bright shades. My favorite eyeliner is the Maybelline Line Stilleto Liquid Liner. The felt tip applicator is very skinny, which allows for easy application and the perfect winged liner. Mascara is a product that I always switch up my favorite on. I have yet to discover a mascara that exceeds my expectations, but for the month of October I have been using the L'Oreal Telescopic Carbon Black Mascara. For brow products, the NYX Micro Brow Pencil has been my holy grail product. Some say that it is a dupe for the Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz. I have yet to try this one, so I cannot compare the two. However, I can say that I am so impressed with the NYX pencil that I do not feel the need to try out the products on the higher end side yet.



I will be filming a separate video discussing my favorite makeup brushes, but a new brush that I have been obsessed with this month is the E.l.f. Contouring Brush. The thin design helps to create the perfect contour in the hollows of my cheeks. This is also said to be a dupe for the NARS Ita brush, which I have not tried due to the price. E.l.f. brushes are amazing quality and prices, so they are always a favorite of mine.



For hair, my favorite extensions by far are the Zala 9 piece, jet black, clip-in extensions. After trying many different brands, this company has provided quality hair extensions at an affordable price that are thick from the top to the bottom. I highly recommend these hair extensions if you are looking!



That is all for my favorites this month! Make sure to stay tuned for more videos, and don't forget to subscribe to my YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHWKJzcgFXwxE1L_MmhWStQ
