I like blogger, but yeah, the sending you own comment thing is lame. AS for lipstick. I dunno. I’m not much of a girly girl and wear lipstick like twice a year. LOL. Ummm… I think the whole pouty lips thing is weird anyway.
The “plumping” lipstick that I have tried…only made my lips burn and tingle…and NOT in a good way. I am thinking that anything that make your lips tingle and burn CANNOT be a good thing.
Plumping lipstick will, ta-da!, plump your lips. It tingles, yes, and they swell a bit. The ones I use contain clove oil, and I end up craving a holiday ham half the time when I am wearing them.
If you want bigger-looking lips and don’t want to mess with plumping stuff, do a web search on lipstick techniques using lip-liner. You can reshape your lips with liner, then use regular lipstick for a fill color, and get much the same look for on-camera purposes.
I can’t believe I know all this AND am publicly advising you on your makeup, Shawn.
I’ve tried the lip plumping stuff, Sephora usually has a selection across the brands. I couldn’t tell the difference. But, I’m a makeup fiend. Seriously.
It’s ok, you can admit that you put in A LOT of personal prep time before you go in front of the camera. And we appreciate the effort you take to maintain a certain look in front of the camera.
What brand of hardware are you going with? Are you going to keep doing truck cam once it’s dark on the way to work? How would you deal with lighting without having to drive blind?
I had to google what an infrared flashlight is. That’s an awesome idea, I didn’t even know it was possible to do that. You win +1 internets for the day.

I’m with Ryder…what hardware are you getting?
And “poofy lipstick” or “Mick Jagger lipstick?” Um, no. Lip gloss only in my make up kit.
That product sounds erpy.

I want to know why it is that you deliver a red light rant and then pretty much start another rant when you drive off. Is that a green light rant?

Network: 10gbps, if my fiber will support it… Soooo coooool.
Nathan: Did I double rant? The lipstick was a legitimate question.
And thanks all for the congrats.

No, actually I don’t want anything to plump my lips! I picked the wrong $1 bin for cheap makeup I guess.
Good thing I don’t actually wear makeup. I’d be a wreck.

Hi!, congratulations on the six-month anniversary!

Which camera do you use to record these videos?
How do you stand the camera in your truck?
