MAYA: Welcome to another episode of Maya's World.
This time we go to New York for BeautyCon
and everything fabulous in between.
We're staying late.
It seems late, but it's only 7:30, but it's so dark.
Tyeal's behind the camera.
TYEAL: Hey hey.
[cross talk]
[laughter]
MAYA: There's Tyeal.
TYEAL: Hello.
MAYA: And there's Nati.
MAYA: So the mission is to inspire people to abandon fear
and live out their dreams shamelessly.
TYEAL: Yes, boo.
MAYA: And our goals outside of YouTube --
we have a photo/video workshop
so you guys can take photos and videos like myself.
We have a merch line that we're going to come out with,
and then of course my biggest dream, which is last,
is the scripted series.
I'm doing the final edits on Maya's World,
which was supposed to go up like 2.5 hours ago.
It's a little confusing because so much happens
in this space, right, Tyeal?
TYEAL: Yes.
So much happens that I'm like,
if you're not here on my Snapchat,
it will make no sense to you.
So follow my Snapchat, but in the meantime,
put your notifications on.
The little bell beside the subscribe button. Do that.
Well, guys, I really tried to get this up,
but it's 8 PM, and it says an hour.
Well, 45 minutes now.
We tried. We tried.
She tried it. [laughing]

I'm snapping.
It's so cold.
Hi.

We are in the streets.
FRAN: She's Filipino, and she writes out her mom talks on Twitter,
and I die every time.
MAYA: Melissa Beck? FRAN: Yes.
MAYA: Oh, I have to follow.
You guys with this Filipino mom shit.
MAYA: Come here. [laughing]
Okay, so the reason why I busted out this camera is
because I burn incense, but then Francesca
was showing me this resin.
So this is a little charcoal thing.
I won't put your face in it.
[Fran laughs]
So you're lighting the charcoal.
FRAN: Do you see how you're creating like a little oven?
MAYA: Also, side note, she's the one who put me on Forest.
Look at my forest today. Look at all those trees I grew.
That's because I was on a plane.
So she just dropped the frankincense,
and now some myrrh.
This is church when the priest or like the, whatever,
those young boys will walk down the aisles and they go like --
FRAN: That's the mixture I chose.
I chose frankincense and myrrh.
MAYA: She picked church smells, guys.
FRAN: It smells so good. [laughing]
MAYA: I'm just brought back to my Catholic church.
FRAN: So definitely try [inaudible].
MAYA: I'm going to try it.
Although this is too churchy for me.
This is Fran's book [inaudible]. She'll never get to it.
The shaman -- "Body not stiff. Mind stiff."
What?
FRAN: Yogi mantra.
MAYA: But mind stiff?
FRAN: No, it's saying that when you feel like
you're struggling to get into the poses,
it's not your body, it's your mind.
MAYA: Oh, it's your mind.
It saying go for the gold.
FRAN: So Life in Harlem --
it's black literature from the Civil Rights Era.
It's really good.
MAYA: What I'm curious also about is this book
called, Do U.
Yo, everyone bit my slogan. GAP. For real.
That stuff caught on. And I did it like four years ago.
Oh, this was a good book.
The Brief and Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao.
I remember it. I felt like I was reading my ex.
A little heads-up, he was Dominican,
and he was nerdy like that.
MAYA: We are here in an Uber,
and it's not karaoke Uber.
FRAN: No it ain't.
We're headed to Loud Speakers Network,
because I'm about to do a podcast with The Friend Zone.
If you guys don't even know, you should check it out.
In the description box.
What are we talking about? [laughing]
FRAN: Celibacy. MAYA: We going in.
Shameless Maya's going to school us
on faith and keeping it tight.
Oh, listen, you guys drop some knowledge
on us, too, girl.
Welcome to the club.

MAYA: Look at this. This is the behind the scenes.
You guys don't even have video of the behind the scenes
of The Friend Zone.
MALE: That's right. That's right.
MALE: We need to start doing that, though.
MAYA: Yes you do.
Okay, then this is where Fran is.

We're in the room.
I'm just beating my face, getting ready for BeautyCon,
and I'm here with --
SHANNON: ShanBoody. MAYA: ShanBoody.
BOTH: Ooooooh. MAYA: That looks good.
I'm trying something different.
I don't know if I like it.
MAYA: I like it. SHANNON: Do you?
MAYA: Yeah. SHANNON: Okay.
[laughter]
MAYA: Last night we went out to the Neutrogena party,
and we got these funky masks that light up
that you saw -- who was wearing it?
SHANNON: Amber and Ari. MAYA: Amber and Ari.
MAYA: So I, last-minute, decided to get a new outfit.
Because I didn't have an entire outfit.
So I'm going to be rocking this.
I was going to wear this, and then I was just like,
you know what? No. No, no, no.
SHANNON: How's about no?
MAYA: I might wear a hat. A dad's hat.
But I will for sure be rockin' Amanda Gregory.
SHANNON: Oh, who dat? MAYA: These divas.
SHANNON: Oh, shit. MAYA: Woooo-wee!
I've been wanting these for like over --
SHANNON: They're so gorgeous.
MAYA: -- eight months or something like that?
Something long. And I finally bought them.
So yay to me.
And then I was checking out, you know, Kanye's collection
and Rihanna's,
so I'm going to go with some pearls.
I'm jamming to some Solange. Look at this.
I enjoy this album and her look and everything she serves
art-wise.
This is my makeup case, and I'm beating my face.
For my eyes, I'm using Two Faced Chocolate Bar.
Now I've just go to do my lips. Put some highlight.
Woo.
This is the final look. Yeh-hess.
It was all based on this boot that I wanted to rock.
MAYA: We're just being shuttled to BeautyCon.
I'm here with ShanBoody.
I'm just doing social stuff. You know how it goes.
And look who I bumped into.
BEATFACEHONEY: Hi, world. MAYA: BeatFaceHoney.
[cross talk]
MAYA: I haven't been to BeautyCon for like three years.
So we got these wristbands.
[laughing]
Look who's here! The beautiful, the lovely.
I want her to help me with a bob.
We're going to make Maya a wig.
She's going to make me a wig!
I'm so happy.
TIARRA: [Inaudible]? MAYA: I didn't see her yet.
She had a black bob I think would look good on you.
That's what people were saying.
Like jet-black, like right here.
Yes!
Let's do that. It'd be fun.
This is Tiffany, my channel manager,

This video I did about quitting YouTube
has everyone stopping me and threatening me like this one.
I am Vastia Sylvester, also known as JadoreVastia.
I pretty much am everywhere, and I am the jacqueline
of all trades.
I have been there since literally her first upload
with Andrea Lewis.
Andrea. Check out BlackActress.
Check out this beautiful lady.
And we'll go back to BeautyCon.

AMY: No, I'm a deejay. MAYA: Oh, you're a deejay.
AMY: [Inaudible] step outside for a second.
MAYA: Yay.
MAYA: I think there's just so many people on YouTube
and so many videos going up,
so it's hard for people to stay in touch
as to what I'm doing,
so I wish I could have, Tuesdays I do this tech video,
and Thursdays I do this.
But the nature of the beast is that there's a lot of content
and a lot of editing to put together.
So I wish I could be more consistent each day
with what time I put those up.

I have so much love for you guys.
Ooh-wee. Granny is home. She's tired.
She's back in the hotel room.
What a day. What a day.
My feet gave out on me.
Yep. I was rocking the new shoes,
and they just needed a break.
But I was serving you looks. I was serving you chic.
Serving you Kanye. Serving you Fentay [ph.].
Anyways, I'm going to show you all the goodies that we got
in the AM, once we have some nice, natural light.
But thank you so much, BeautyCon.
I hadn't done BeautyCon for a couple years.
It was good to do it.
It was good to see all the fresh new faces in YouTube
and just all the creators.
We're all in this boat together.
I had a lot of people coming up to me today
and being like, "Girl, you better not quit YouTube."
Now I'm like, "Why did I upload that video?"
Agh. I shouldn't have told you what was in my mind.
I think it was a worthwhile discussion.
A lot of people could sympathize with me.
But anyways, she's going to remove all of this.
Just take off some -- ooh.
I'll see you in the morning.
Morning, world.
It is Sunday morning, 10:20.
We're doing a last-minute impromptu meet-up.
We only gave people two hours' notice.
That's so shady.
SHANNON: No, correction.
I originally wanted to do a meet-up.
We could not get organized because
there's too many women of color trying to do something.
I tried from last week, and then everyone's like,
what are we doing?
MAYA: Yeah, you're right. SHANNON: [Inaudible] idea.
And then today me and Maya had to be daddy,
and we're like, "This is what's happening."
That's the story.
MAYA: This is what Shannon hijacked from BeautyCon.
The after-party, rather.
So all these Real Techniques brushes and sponges.
I love Real Techniques.
But I got these brushes.
They all look like foundation or blush brushes.
BeautyCon hat.
Yo, Shannon, you got enough stuff.
I'm not a face mask person. I don't know.
Maybelline was there, so all this stuff.
Carol's Daughter.
Oh, I do -- I used to use the Cantu stuff.
What? Where was Nix?
SHANNON: You didn't see Nix?
MAYA: Oh, you went to the booth?
SHANNON: Yes. MAYA: And they gave it to you?
SHANNON: Yeah.
MAYA: You had a badge.
SHANNON: Everybody got a full bag there.
MAYA: I didn't go to the booth.
SHANNON: What happened? Because I went around to the table
one by one.
MAYA: Why am I complaining as if I don't have enough products?
SHANNON: I scammed this.
MAYA: And I've got this on record, guys.
SHANNON: I don't know -- MAYA: How did you get this?
SHANNON: I don't know whose this is.
-You don't know whose this is? -No.
SHANNON: I think this is what happened.
I think it was a special influencer who gets --
MAYA: Who did you steal this from?
SHANNON: I don't know. It was left.
Okay, at the end of the night, guys,
all these gift bags just left,
because everybody got drunk
and they forgot about the free stuff.
I did not.
And so I was like, oh, everyone forget their gift bag.
And so I started truncating them into one giant gift bag.
There was like two kinds of free stuff to these events.
There's basic starter-kit free stuff,
and then there's Makeup by Shayla and
Kelly Rowland free stuff.
This might be a Kelly Rowland free stuff item.
MAYA: Who I managed to take a selfie with.
Did you?! I haven't seen that.
MAYA: Yeah, I posted it on Twitter.
I tried to take a photo, but it was on video.
I was like, oh my God, it's not recording. I'm so sorry.
And I was like, what's wrong with my camera? Video.
So I got it on video.
Inserted.
I'm here with Ari.
Hi, how's it going?
And there's Shannon and Amber.
MAYA: We're here at the World Trade Center.
This was ground zero.
We're just heading over to our meet-and-greet
that we announced.
We gave you guys two hours' advance notice. I am so sorry.
But we're doing something.
Oh, sorry, I'm interrupting [cross talk].
No, you're okay.
To get my vlog in the morning. Beautiful person.
So let's go meet. Have our meet-and-greet.
We are here at the Westfield World Trade Center.
It's the World Trade Center.
Westfield is trying to cop it.
SHANNON: Yeah, they really are. MAYA: They -- F you.
SHANNON: They put the money down though, so we love you.
MAYA: These damn shoes. I did not bring any flats.
That's what happens when I don't have a check-in.
SHANNON: You want to go in?
This store right here.
MAYA: Uggs. I want some slippers, is what --
SHANNON: I'm just going to piggyback her on the way back.

MAYA: Who are you? NOMI: I'm NomiLongLegs on Instagram.
MAYA: She is serving legs.

What's your name?
CRISTAL: Cristal. MAYA: Cristal. Hello.

MAYA: We're here. We're just taking some photos.
And then we gotta bounce to the airport. Right, Ari?
That is true. That is correct.
ARI: If you wear heels, there's a very high chance
Amber will carry you.
Don't wear heels, folks.
MAYA: We're back in sunny California,
and I'm about to do a collab with The Sorry Girls.
It's going to be so exciting.
MAYA: If you guys don't already know, they have a channel.
It's a DIY channel, and it's epic.
We do DIYs of all kinds. Pretty much right now we're doing
a lot of Halloween costumes.
MAYA: So this ring light that you guys see here
is what we're about to make.
Look at all of this. Bam.
It's going to be so epic.
And look at this LED strip.
And it's going to be so affordable,
so much more affordable than this.

Now this is the [inaudible]-dollar version.
But look, it's like, boom, this camera is filming this camera,

All of that means something to me.
So now instead of doing random giveaways

how long or how committed they are,
I have a ton of giveaways for you guys,
