PS. I think I will be deleting some of my costume videos that are just bad lighting or I just don't like them!! Some are too embarrassing and I have no clue why I uploaded them! ha ha ha So watch before they are gone! ha ha ha
Maybe I'll just re-edit them and upload them without all the embarrassing parts!
PS...I think oompa loompa video might be the first to get knocked off the list...and all the video with any sort of singing (ugh)...will be removed....I thought it would be fun or funny, but now it's just embarrassing! ha ha ha
this video is one of my favorites:
so what do you wanna see? queen of heart hugs, kandee

WORKING 9-5.......all business all the time!
this is a "business" as I've ever dressed....but I do love the shoulder pads!
I think I was about 11-ish.
My mom let me and my sister dress up in her clothes...."briefcase-like" bags and all!
The person in the grey suit and higher heels, is my sister...but I wasn't sure if she would like me to post her in her "dress-up" clothes. (you're welcome sister) ha ha ha
*Please note the cotton headband I am wearing....this was my hair "must" of that time. I had many a headband like this, and would wear them just as you are seeing it on me! ha ha ha ha
I also like how I opted for the sensible, "low" heels!
yeah dress up! Did anyone else dress up like this! ha ha ha
kinda wishing my mom still had that blazer, your kandee
PS. get ready to party at your desk today....I'm about to re-upload my Vice Palette giveaway video (it had major problems) BUT I've got 3 more prize packages in it- to make it more fun!!!!
come be my friend on:
YOUTUBE (subscribe to me there, it's super fun) FACEBOOK TWITTY PINTEROO
and I'm on the instagram as: kandee johnson
Sometimes the hardest make-up look for make-up artists to do, is the "no make-up makeup look"- you know the look when you look like you hardly have make-up on, but you still want your skin to look "not red", and "not blotchy" and just glowy and pretty!
Well, this is it! (SCROLL DOWN FOR THe VIDEO)
VIDEO WARNING: this video is NOT like any of my other youtube videos! It is a bit more "Artsy", and I had fun making it more like a cool, music video/make-up tutorial!
ANDDDDDDD....because I was so honored (insert cartwheels) to be chosen my W Magazine and L'Oreal to enter the Because Your Worth It campaign to celebrate them both turning 40 this year- YOU HAVE A CHANCE TO WIN 1 of 150 MAKE-UP BAGS filled with make-up!!!!
The look I had to use for my inspiration was this "let there be light look" from W Magazine-
which used pricey YSL make-up, but I'll be using drugstore priced L'Oreal (yay for savin' dollars).
AND I WILL GET A CHANCE TO WIN, if you vote for me- for $1,000 to go to my charity, Feed The Children!
L'Oreal sent me the same goody bag that one or 150 of you will be winning- to do the look- and you're gonna love it! AND it's filmed unlike any of my other videos-
it's kinda more like a music video, mixed with a tutorial, because the winners video will be featured in the art issue of W magazine- so I tried to make it all artsy!
So for everyone that is saying, "hey this isn't like your videos, it's out of focus" - you know why now- ha ha ha
so go vote and enjoy a pretty healthy glow look that's easy and fast...and it's all at drugstore price!
NOW GET READY TO WATCH MY "ARTSY" TUTORIAL- HA HA HA
PLEASE GO VOTE FOR ME HERE (and you can win too!!!!)
huge thank you hugs, your friend kandee
PS.
The Giveaway video will be up soon! And it's gotten bigger! Since youtube was being wacky and not letting some people even see the video or comment- last week youtube was having problems for uploading! IT will be up with 3 more sets of prizes to celebrate! All previous entries will still count- so don't worry!
Sundays in Hollywood is an extra fun day....it's the day where they have the Melrose Trading Post (it's one of my favorite things in LA), they have it on sundays in the Parking Lot of the highschool on the corner of Melrose and Fairfax. It's where I bought my first feather earring, when they weren't popular, years ago from my friend Cardi- click here to see her new earrings too!)
MY OUTFIT OF THE DAY BREAKDOWN:
black snake skin leggins from BCBG -
white Men's hanes tank top
black BDG (i think it's from Urban Outfitters) tank top
shoes: these are an old pair of Jeffrey Campbell shoes I got years ago -they are some of the most comfortable "non-sneaker" shoes I own!
Spiked dangle earrings I got on 50% of Macy's- so they are all probably gone by now! ha ha ha
Leather cuff- it's the one I made like a billion years ago, so maybe I'll finally make that DIY leather cuff video I've been wanting to make for years!
I found this lady that made these awesome long, dress-vest! I love them! I wanted to buy every color!
this grey blue one was too cute but kinda itchy....
I just fell in love with this cream colored one....so I adopted it!
and there is the adorable lady in the background that makes these...she is like an artist with fabric!
I know I don't do "haul" (ewww, I know, just saying that word gives me the yucks) videos very often, but I could do a haul video on all the stuff I got there!
PS. Would you like me to do more "haul" AKA Shop and Tell videos?!? I don't know!?!? I always think I don't dress like all the other girls so no one would want to see what I buy! ha ha ha
OHHHHHHH...here's the lady's info if you wanna buy a dress-vest too:
she doesn't have a website but here's her phone number, her name is Luth Garde:
310-384-1124
I got to hang out and shoot some super fun stuff with some other Youtube mamas yesterday...
for The Moms View...
these girls were so nice and beautiful and fun!! I had such a fun time filming our crazy scene! Wait til you see it!
I love when I get to have my friend Priscilla Ono, who is an incredible make-up artist to the stars, do my make-up! It's like if you were a chef, and then your other friend who's a chef, gets to cook you something amazing! ha ha ha I don't really trust anyone to do my make-up- because I just think I can do it better myself- ha ha ha ha, except for Priscilla- I love how she does my make-up!
I love her and we have so much fun- I love her to pieces...
And then I didn't need to bring any hair tools, because Matt Motherhead, came to dazzle up my hair on his way to get everyone ready for the Emmy's! He is amazing- especially because I don't like doing my hair, at ALL! I felt so fancy having my friends do my hair and make-up! Like I was a famous person!
All I can show you is...this one part where I get to drive a car:
this was the jewelry I brought as options- lookin' dangerous!
Me and the beautiful Katilette...AKA Mama Shaytard...she is so beautiful in real life too! And so sweet! I had so much fun with all the girls from The Moms View.
I wish I had a picture of me and Kayli, riding in a mustang with our driver wearing BluBlocker sunglasses...it was so much fun!
a huge thank you to all the Maker Moms, for having me there, and for being so awesome and nice to me...I've never been around a room full of such nice Youtubers, ever!
A hint: we were all superheroes yesterday, well because inside every mama is a little bit of super-hero-ness!
OUTFIT OF THE DAY:
some bloggers post awesome pictures of themselves, that look like they are/were in a photoshoot. Me?!?
I have pictures like this that my mom took! ha ha ha
what I gots on:
BOOTS: Yellow Fringe Moccasins by Minnetonka I ordered from ZAPPOS.COM because they were the only place that sold them in yellow, and you shoes show up so stinkin fast!
PANTS:
Leopard Print Stretch Denim Pants I got at Forever21, baby!
(you may have seen me wearing this in this pic I instagrammed)
SHIRT:
underneath I have my classic Hanes Men's Tank Top....they are a staple of my clothing.
ON TOP: I've got a black mens/womens t-shirt- that I tied in a knot at the hips, and I rolled up the sleeves and pinned them with a safety pin for a fun, punky, twist for my shirt.
EARRINGS: you can't really see them, but I scored some supa-mega (that's just a fun word for cool), spiked dangly earrings at Macy's for 50% off, they were about $3!!! $3 dolla holla!
Do you guys like or wish I'd do more outfits of the day.....I never think people will like them for some reason! ha ha ha
Me tired, me want to go sleep......you read this in morning, may it make you smile...
I kinda love writing the Saturday Random 5....it's like carefree- doesn't need to make sense, doesn't need proper punctuation...wait I never do that! I am a fan of "rebel punctuation", I like the "..." it feels like we're talking that way!
#1. I lost the sunglasses I was wearing in the picture above. It made me super sad because they were one of my favorite sunglasses of ALL time. I hope they still make them...they are the Kozoi glasses from Sabre. ....insert sad face, I don't think they make them anymore.
#2. The reason I started wearing mis-matched earrings, years ago, was that I would always lose one...so I just started mix-matching them....I'd wear a hoop with a stud, a feather with a chain...and so on. And then I went to Macy's the other day and saw them selling a pack of mix-matched earrings! cray cray Not saying I started that, it's just crazy when something people made fun of you for, becomes trendy! ha ha ha
#3. I've been wearing men's hanes white tank tops and t's since high school.
#4. I never touch public bathroom door handles with my hand, I get a paper towel and open the door with it, then throw it away after I've left the bathroom!
#5. I love real watermelon, but I am not a fan of watermelon flavored anything....no watermelon flavored lipgloss, snow cone, nothing...well except I used to love watermelon jolly ranchers.
and I'm out like a broken headlight, your kandee
Did you see my NEW CONTEST VIDEO...whaaaaaaaaat- you betta' watch this:
v
wanna be my friend on any of these...just click on em:
yes, please pardon my picture of a picture in a photo album- hence the cool "stained glass" effect my hair has! ha ha ha
But yes, as I dug for a good "throwback thursday" picture to show you guys...this one just seemed to jump out at me!
I don't know if it was my crazy bangs, the denim, button-up shirt- but something said- post this baby!
Yes, this must have been 6th grade...I believe that was the year my friend Sarah, taught me to tease my bangs and use hairspray- there were no youtube hair tutorials back then!
I also had a black hat, that would actually be back in style...it was very NKOTB...and if you have no clue what that means, well, it was today's version of Justin Bieber, accept more of him.
and there you have my semi-embarrassing "old school" kandee picture of the week! hee hee
Hope you have 6th grade pictures where you looked cooler than me!
I'm out like the style of clothes I was wearing in that picture...ha ha ha
say cheese, kandee
This is newest "johnson" to be added my house....
I've named her Betsey, Betsey Johnson.
You see, she is a Betsey Johnson mannequin, from one of the Betsey Johnson stores that have all been closed now. *I love Betsey Johnson and am so excited to treasure, a bit of Betsey Johnson store, memorabilia!
If you missed my blog post on it and the "Betsey Johnson" letters I scored, CLICK HERE.
she looks fashionable in her pink, "betsey" Garment bag dress....I call it "plastic trashbag couture"!
My first job was working at a Contempo Casuals- which was like a Forever21, back in the day...and they were selling their mannequins, ad I bought one. So me and my sixteen year old self, drove my mannequin home...I did her make-up, dressed her and she was part of my room's decor, but she sometimes startled me when I'd walk in my room and think someone was in there forgetting it was my mannequin! ha ha ha
and now I have the most beautiful trash pile, of hot pink, Betsey Johnson, garment bags! See, she cam home with all her "parts" in pink Betsey bags....one leg here, a torso there, an arm in another bag!
And you bet your eyelashes that those Betsey letters are going up on my walls, somewhere!
and I'm out like the streetlights at sunrise, your amigo, kandee or "dulce" in spanish!

As I sat, at Starbucks yesterday- but I only ordered a bottle of water and some cake pops...and I saw a sea of other people with their laptops out....
and there I was, guilty as charged....
my laptop was out too.
I pondered..
Does typing a blog, email, or whatever everyone else everyone was working on at Starbucks, make you more creative!?!
#1. Do you feed off the energy of others busily tapping away?
#2. Do you feel more important because people see you are working on something?
OR
#3. Do you just need a good internet connection?
I am guilt of number 3- I needed an internet connection somethin' fierce.....so there I went to buy my bottle of water, and cake pops for my assistants kids. See, for a sec I sounded so important, I needed assistants.
Well, you never know, I do remember a certain guy who would frequent the same Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf (which is my fav, even though I don't drink coffee- just eat coffee ice cream- weirdsmobile, I know!) as me in LA....
and his blog became very popular....but sadly, me and Mr. Perez, never shared a chai tea or Vanilla blended.
And may I tell ya, that picture at the top....well, that was when my internet was "down in my area", according to my internet provider....and I could wait NO MORE to blog....I had to go buy a hot tea, petit vanilla scone, and I brought my mac blush so I could blog about it! ha ha ha
I am NOT typing this from a Starbucks, I am, loner-style, typing this on my back patio in a rocking chair.....but I do see a little slug, that probably wants to blog too: Slug-ez Hilton.
I'm out like the trash on trash night, your kandee
Sometimes there are things that we just don't even think of cleaning!
And oddly enough- very first video on youtube was "How to Clean Your Make-Up Brushes" (CLICK HERE IF YOU'VE NEVER SEEN IT...it's so blurry and you'll see)
BUT......and this is a BIG BUT as in Baby Got BACK.....
HAVE YOU EVER DONE THIS?!?!
HAVE YOU EVER WASHED YOUR HAIR, yes, HAIR brushes!
You wash your hair...and your brushes don't wash themselves...but they do pick up oil, dirt, product and all other kinds of junk and keep spreading it back into your hair! yuckster!
HERE'S A LITTLE VIDEO I MADE SHOWING YOU HOW TO DO IT:
(and yes, I made this before I got my new hair cut and color....click this if you missed that video)...
and yes I tell you my favorite brushes and there's bloopers, as usual, at then end- enjoy:
HERE'S A LIST OF WHAT YOU NEED:
#1. DIRTY BRUSHES - or pretty much any brush you've never cleaned!
#2. BAKING SODA
#3. APPLE CIDER VINEGAR or WHITE DISTILLED VINEGAR
(I prefer the Apple, but use what ya got)
#. 4 DAWN dishwashing soap
#5. A TOWEL
#6. A COMB
#7. A OLD TOOTHBRUSH- do not use a toothbrush you plan on putting in your mouth again!
#8. Access to water- in a bowl, a sink, a bucket, you get the idea.
HOW OFTEN SHOULD YOU WASH YOUR BRUSHES?
Daily- remove the hair.
Every 1-3 Months give em a bath! If you are one of the people that only like to wash their hair 1-2 times a week- I'd wash your brushes at least every month! You don't wash your brush depositing excess oil to your hair line and giving you breakouts too!
*Some people just use shampoo to clean their brushes, but the reason this isn't so great, is because Shampoo has ingredients which prevent it from being able to really clean the oils out of the brush, and it usually is what helps create product build-up too!
And don't leave out your pet brushes! This is a great idea to wash your dog, cat, llama, pony whatever you've got...keep their brushes clean too! This is safe for all brush types and it will actually help pro-long the life of your brushes too! In order to take care of ANYTHING- you need to clean it! ha ha ha
WHAT THE HELLO KITTY WAS I WEARING IN MY VIDEO: Leopard Print Shirt- I got it at TJ MAXX. LIP COLOR- it's actually 3 lipliners mixed together to look like CHERRY lipliner from MAC, which I can't find and LOVE! ANCHOR NECKLACE: I made it, and here's a video I made about how I made it. CLICK HERE NAIL POLISH: I have on Sally Hansen nail polish in Mint Sorbet. anything else I you wanted to know, just ask me below...
My mom is one of the biggest reasons why I have any creative anything..she's been letting me create, design, and be my own little self since I was tiny. My mom is artsy and creative...she's been designing things since she was tiny.
(this is my cute lil' mama that I love so much)
And when I saw her iphone case- I luuuuved it! I asked where she got it and she said: "I made it!"...
I was like (yeah, read that like a Valley Girl, it makes it more funny), whhhhat! Oh my gobbstoppers! That is too cute...can I take a picky and post it on the interwebs?!"
WHAT YOU NEED:
*a phone cover:
My mom loves a few things, and the dollar store is one of them. She got the case part at the dollar store.
*plastic flowers:
I think she said she got them at Michael's crafts.
*gel glue for jewels
She used some kind of gel super-glue for jewels to glue the flowers on, but as I type this she can't remember the exact name.
STEP #1. She layed the flowers out in different arrangements to see which looked best, then glued those babies down!
STEP #2. Just let the glue dry and your done.
TOTAL PROJECT TIME: 10 minutes
PROJECT COST: less than $5
case was $1
pack of plastic flowers (make sure you get the michael's crafts app- you can save up to 40% sometimes) about $2
glue was about $2
there you go...D.I.Y. from my M.O.M.
hugs and sparkly things, kandee and her mama

Yahoo! We made it through another week, just in time for my Saturday Random Five Facts post.
#1. That is what I looked like, in about 1st grade. Because everyone loves a turtleneck and sweater vest...and so did I.
#2. Randomess is:
I bought a little piece of Toffee last night at Whole Foods and if I was addicted to anything- this would be it- I have never....never....tasted toffee this amazing in my life..and I'm a toffee fan. If you want to see what I devoured last night, without any sort of self-control, this is it...Lula Lund's Toffee
#3. I love, love, love Tortilla soup...I almost crave it like a cupcake or something....ahhhh this makes me drool, well not really, but in my mind....
(yes, I even instagrammed, is that right "instagrammed"?, this, this week...if you don't know me there, my name is: Kandee Johnson, original, huh?)
#4. I love Stargazer lilies- you don't need to wait or wish that someone will buy you flowers. I bought these last night when I went grocery shopping...I love sunflowers, stargazers, anything big, colorful and happy!
#5. I was bad last night, and I didn't wash my make-up off before I went to bed. Sometimes that happens when I'm exhausted. I'll give her (my face) and extra scrub-eroo today.

Yes, it's throwback Thursday- time to dig through my old photos and post a lil' "old school" kandee treat for you guys!
And today is HIGH SCHOOL kandee.
(Next to me is my best friend from high school, Amy- in the "plumb pants"...who actually came over for a few minutes to visit last week!) I like how if you didn't see our heads, we'd totally look like guys!
*Yes, my hair was super-duper long- reason #1 why they called me Winnie Cooper (from that show The Wonder Years)
*I wore a lot of skate shoes, a pair of Nike hiking boots (don't ask me why- I loved them), a white pair of Doc Martens, a pair of white lace up Vans with navy blue trim, and my fav were a pair of ruby red patent leather Airwalk skate shoes.
*I dresses in mostly "boy-looking" clothes- good thing I had long hair.
* I would wear my dad's old jeans. I loved shopping at thrift stores and would hunt for vintage men's sweaters and bowling style shirts. I wore lots of white v-neck t-shirts. Baggy jeans- I had a fav pair of red Cross Colours jeans that were super baggy. And lots of baggy old courduroy pants I'd find thrifting in crazy colors like lavender or plain grey.
When I was 16, I got a job at a clothing store and then I started wearing skirts and dresses and lots of knee high socks.....lots. And I dressed way more like a girl! ha ha ha
Maybe next Thursday I'll post a pic from my "girly" phase!
and I'm out, just like all the clothes in that picture are out of style...your kandee
PS. I'm editing a new video that I'm hoping to get up on youtube today!
If you know me, you know I like anything fun, nude color lips and then the opposite, I love me some bright red and neon hot pink lips too!
There's something for the make-up mild and the make-up daring.
I am excited for MAC's new CARINE ROITFELD collection- (*these are available now in MAC stores in the US and October for all International Stores!)
well, specifally these 2 items:
ARE YOU MORE MAKE-UP MILD?:
THE TROPICAL MIST- sheer translucent NUDE LIPSTICK
it's very sheer and nude- SEE UNDER HERE...
that slight nude shimmer on my arm- that's where I swiped it!
it's almost like a tinted lip balm texture...
(if you want to see the whole collection and details, check out my girl, Temptalia's blog- CLICK HERE)
ARE YOU MORE MAKE-UP DARING?:
THE GOOD LUCK STAR STENCILS
If you wanna "star up your face", or your going as Kat Von D to a costume party....these stencils are so stinkin' fun!
If you need some Kat Von D looks I've done a few tutorials too, here's one...don't judge and my bad lighting, camera and editing, this was only my second month of being on youtube! ha ha ha
twinkly stars and just an idea...star beauty marks?!? , your kandee
I'm am loving this Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream shade of nail polish! (sans the chocolate chips ofcourse!) Oh, my neon polishes are still right up there at the top...but there's something so whimsically, girly, yet chic and modern about this color- me loves! Me loves it!
(bracelets: Forever21 gold studded cuff, black jelly bracelets from Hot Topic, and Black rubber chain bracelet from Marc Jacobs, gold spikey ring was on clearance a looong time ago from BCBG, it was like $7.)
My minty polish fav is:
Sally Hansen Hard As Nails Extreme Wear in MINT SORBET.
This polish is kind of amazing- 2 coats and it looks beautiful- it was glossy, smoothed out any ridges my nails had (yeah they are natural and kinda well un-smooth like natural nails are! ha ha), and last longer than my average nail polish- I'm HARDDDDD on nails...and this was tough like John Wayne in a cowboy movie!
It's like having an ice creamy treat on you nails with zero calories, well and zero flavor....but as far as your eyes are concerned- it's the color of ice cream baby!
what's would be your favorite ice cream "color nail"...
sundaes nails, your kandee
Did you see my new video yet!? CLICK THIS if you didn't!
PS. If you wanna see Blakey's Birthday yesterday- click here, it has bowling shoes!
It seems that hair colors and cuts...after all these years would kind of just start to repeat themselves...
And what hair would be the next "Ombre" wave to ride into...
And please know that I am not telling anyone to have trendy hair, that the Ombre is on or out - as you guys know...I am not a "that is sooooo last month" person....if you haven't tried the Ombre trend and want to- do it, it's fun, you look tan- I even have a tutorial on how I did mine- CLICK HERE.
I just like seeing what creative minds are coming up with for somethin' new and different...and I kinda love this hair!
the Ombre was a subtle "melting of hair colors"...this "half & half" look is a modern, hair edge of artsy coolness- which I love!
It's not the look where girls just died the under side of their hair dark...this is all the hair-
blonde on top half and chocolatey half on the bottom.
If I was a hair trend-caster- I'd say this is the next in cool hair colors.
Well for those who's hair can stand this!
I'd do it, but there's no way my hair near the scalp could go platinum-ish and have any hair left on the bottom to dye dark! ha ha ha ha
What do you think?
Do you like this hair color idea for fall?!? Would you try it- even if you knew your hair wouldn't fall off?
OR are you already pinning this or printing it out to take to your stylist?!?
huge and half and halfness...and not in a Cruella De Vil way....
