      For high quality video recording on a digital camera, look for a camera that can film in 720p HD. I am a big fan of Canon, and I currently use a Canon PowerShot SD780 IS. It is pretty affordable, and also serves as a great point-and-shoot. It's a compact camera that does everything! The only drawback is it doesn't have a front facing display, so I can't see what I'm recording unless I have a mirror behind the camera. If this is an important feature to you, you could look into digital cameras or even camcorders with a flip screen.

      1. Make sure your nails are clean of dirt, oils, and any old nail polish before applying a new polish.
      2. Use a base coat to help the polish last longer, and to prevent staining of the nails.
      3. Use a top coat to seal the colour and prevent chipping.
      4. Consider the brand/quality of your nail polish. Some polishes chip more quickly, whereas others will last for a very long time (does not necessarily mean the more expensive ones are always better...many drugstore brands have great staying power!)

      My biggest tip would be to be yourself. There are lots of makeup gurus on YouTube, so you can find similar information from many different sources, but what will really set you apart is your personality. People will come back to watch you if they feel you are personable and relateable :) Good luck!

      How effective skincare products are really vary from person to person. Depends on your skin type, environment, health habits, and many other factors. For troublesome skin, I would recommend you check out my video about 5 tips for healthy skin!!

      ProActiv can prove to have very good results on some people, but can be ineffective on other people. Again, depends on many factors. But the good thing about ProActiv is they have a money back guarantee, so you can return the products for a refund if it doesn't work for you.

      I have combination skin -- some areas of my face tend to be dry sometimes, but I have a bit of an oily T-zone.

      My family speaks Cantonese (my parents are from Hong Kong) -- my Cantonese is very heavily accented and there are many words I don't know haha...I also understand and can speak a bit of Mandarin, and I took basic Japanese in high school. Oh and also very very basic French, since it is mandatory for certain grades in Canada :)

      Thank you! I did have braces many many years ago...although they're not super straight anymore because I stopped wearing my retainer lol :( WEAR YOUR RETAINER PEOPLE! Braces cost a lot of money and you don't want that to go to waste!
      I only whitened my teeth once with an at-home Crest whitestrips product, but this was over 5 years ago. However, I don't drink coffee or very much pop (soda), and I stay away from red wine (I don't like it anyway), which are all things that can stain your teeth!

      Thank you for your comment. It is neither contructive nor objective (I actually don't consider myself famous at all). If you have a suggestion on how I can improve my channel, please feel free to let me know.

      My absolute favourite drugstore mascara is L'Oreal Voluminous mascara. It's actually probably one of my favourite mascaras of all time, even compared to many high-end brands.

      There is definitely a risk to buying cosmetics online, especially through eBay. In general, there is NO GUARANTEE as to when the item will expire. It's best to buy unopened items that are still in their packaging -- the expiry duration on the jar symbol on the packaging is usually from the day the product is opened. I hope this helps!

      The term "analyst" is very vague and really covers a lot of different roles. As an IT Business Analyst, my career path is in IT or Technology consulting. Day-to-day I might be interacting with the client, with various teams on the project, lots of documentation, requirements analysis, etc.

      I majored in Business, concentrating in MIS, Management & Technology, and Management Science. I minored in Computing Science :)
