hi everyone welcome back to my channel if you're new welcome my name is
Christine so it has been a long time since I did a makeup video and I thought
I'd just sit down get ready using a lot of the new makeup
and products that I have and chat with you guys about some of the past jobs
that I have so if you guys would be interested in hearing about my
experience working aniridia what I learned from that working in real estate
first make sure you hit the subscribe button if you haven't already and the
little notification bandwidth out further ado let's go ahead and get
started with the video I need to do my brows so we are gonna use the Maybelline
tap - studio brow pomade this is in the color black brown I love this it also
comes with a little brush which this is actually one of my favorite brushes ever
that I've been using so much so we're gonna go ahead and speed through my
brows because I'm not good at talking on camera while I'm doing my brows I have a
little outline here of the past shops that I have my first job got recruited
to work at our Crime Fitch when I was 16 and then at the same time I had just
applied and gotten a job at Teavana so I was working two jobs and those were my
fresh jobs ever and if you guys don't know what Teavana is it's kind of like a
cute little tea shop that got bought by starbucks i was like one of those girls
in the aprons in the mall and i'd be like would you like a tea sample would
you like to try some teas I didn't have that job for a really long time but I
met a lot of really cute guys when I was working there so if you're single
working a job like that was really really fun for me it was my first ever
job so it was fairly easy and a good learning experience
my next job that I had after that was Joey and we call it like Joey's and it's
like a bougie restaurant in Washington I actually got that job because brand I
went on I think it was a birthday dinner no him and I were just having dinner
randomly at this restaurant he lived in Bellevue at the time when we're dating
and so I always would hang out with him in Bellevue one of the managers came up
and was like you guys are so beautiful we'd love to offer you a job
and to this day Brandon's convinced that they only offered him the job because
they offered me the job and they're not working there and it's kind of like a
high-end bar slash restaurant and a lot of the Seahawks football players would
come in there all the time / this foundation is really like for me I'm
using the cosmetics brush and I love this brush I worked there for like a
year and this was when I was like 19 turning 20 I remember I
underage and I couldn't work in the actual bar area I met a lot of my like
Filipino guy friends and I hang out when I go back home to Seattle I met them at
Joey and they were actually the line cooks there I feel like that job really
gave me a lot of confidence because the restaurant was known for having pretty
girls like there's no other requirement to working there except being pretty all
the other girls that I work with are really really pretty either you guys
don't come in all the time just for the sake of like being served by a pretty
girl a lot of the guy friends that I made through there were the line cooks
and they are like my lifelong friends people that I'm still friends with to
this day I ended up living with them working in a restaurant really taught me
how to deal with like a fast place fast paced workspace well it's a toaster I
feel like every other job that I had after working at a restaurant was easy
to me a lot of the girls that I met were like friends on Instagram but they're
not like my good lifelong friends you're I mean working a restaurant job I feel
like everyone needs to do that especially when you're younger like it's
such a good thing to put on your resume and I learned so much working there your
new year of college I was broke AF as college kids are and I remember needing
a job so bad so through you Dad that's where I went to school so through the
University of Washington I got a job as a cafe barista so I made coffee at one
of the like store campus locations that is definitely one of my most favorite
jobs of all time because when you make coffee for people people are usually
like cranky and grumpy they're tired but as soon as you hand them they're like
hot fresh out of the oven muffin and hot cup of coffee they're instantly so much
happier they'll stay in chat with you guys that was a similar experience to
working in a restaurants where was this very fast-paced it was crazy I was
always sweating all the time so I worked as an intern for two summers shortly
after that I went back to school and then got a job as a barista in like the
winter time I had been working at that cafe for about six months and then Brad
and I had broken up and I just remembered being so heartbroken at the
time I was sleeping with him and so so much of my life is really dependent on
that relationship I did a whole get ready with me so if you guys are
Instagram Instagram so if you guys are interested
and hearing more about the breakup how I dealt with it I would highly recommend
chicken that video I still get like dams to this day about girls that really
really enjoyed that video that found it really helpful brand I had broken up and
we had dated for about three years and so that was really hard on me I had to
move out and in order to financially support myself I had to get another job
so I applied at that same real estate job that I had previously entered for
and I applied to be a front desk receptionist I got the job and started
the following week so I worked those two jobs for a while and that real estate
job I only worked every single Friday because I was kind of training and I
needed another way to kind of keep me busy and so I had applied to work at a
ritzy ax and I actually was able to get the job really easily because I knew a
girl that worked there and she helped like referred me and so I pretty much
automatically got the job they really liked that I worked at a restaurant and
I had like a lot of experience working in a like stressful environment if you
will and then they also really liked that I was fashionable so obviously you
want to show up wearing their clothing if you have it if not wear clothes that
are very similar to their branding I think I worked there for about a year on
and off I took a break to go back to school I remember I had worked there
with Gia while I was working part time at that real estate firm and also
working part-time in a cafe so all while I was going to the University of
Washington and so there was a point time where I was working three jobs I had
just moved into a new place and that was just like one way to financially support
myself it was also like a way to keep me busy while I was going through a breakup
let me just tell you that working retail sucks it like drains the life out of you
I remember just like dreading the days I had work I remember being like kind of
fashionable but I wasn't really too secure in my like sense of style or
whatever and I at this time I haven't even had my YouTube channel or anything
like that yet but I remember it was very intimidating because we had to meet
certain sales goals every single day depending on how new you are you have a
sales goal that you had to me and since I was one of the newer part-time people
I didn't have as big of a sales goal as girls that had been there for years and
years and years and worked there full-time so when I first started
working there I had to learn really quickly how to outfit people based on
the stuff that they liked not only my style but it had to be things that other
people the way that they dress and so that job really taught me how to be
really outgoing I was able to outfit people really really quickly it was like
a very high-stress job but very very rewarding actually one of the girls that
I worked with at iridium was my best friend for the longest time but we had a
bit of a falling out and now we're just like friends you mean a lot of the girls
that I met there were very catty and I'm only friends with like one or two of the
girls feel like it's very hit and miss who you meet obviously any job -
supplies - but from my experience the girls that work in retail are usually
not my type of like people that I'm friends with forever that was a really
good job and I loved working there at the discount we got 40% off while I
worked there so it was a really really good discount and that's the reason why
like so much of my closet is from yridian while I was in the middle of
working at a Richie a brand I had gotten back together we kind of was slowly
started dating and seeing each other again and then I graduated college and
so I was done with my coffee barista job and I started full-time at this real
estate firm I remember I was working at the real estate firm and a ritzy ax
part-time for a while my real estate job was a nine-to-five and working retail
while we're here in 95 is like the most exhausting thing because I would have
days where I'd come into work at 8:00 a.m. working till 5:00 p.m. and then I'd
start at a ritzy ax at 6:00 p.m. and then close I wouldn't be home until like
midnight and then I'd repeat again and so I was just very exhausted Brad and I
were like slowly getting back together but I was still living at my own place
and so I obviously had to pay for that and my full-time job wasn't paying
enough at the time eventually quit a ritzy an office that I worked in was
like being number one office in the whole entire company so it was very very
busy and I met a lot of really like successful real estate agents and so
that really inspired me to really want to go into real estate and so while I
was working front desk one the agents in the office she was like
the top one percent in the nation she was very very successful she came up to
me and offered me a job to work for her as her assistant and so I left being
front desk at this office to becoming her assistant I worked under her for I
think just under a year okay I just wiped off my foundation on my list also
I didn't realize how pale I look so I'm gonna go ahead and bronze up my face
really quick I've only told a select number of my friends but I feel like
it's kind of important to talk about but while I work for this lady
I actually got fired and from all the other jobs that I had I had a lot of
jobs and so I kind of just talked to you guys about like the important jobs and I
had every single one of those jobs I quit myself and I had never ever gotten
fired I don't really talk about it because honestly it's kind of
embarrassing but I feel like it's kind of an important thing to talk about and
the reason why I didn't work out is because her and I are very different and
I feel like when you're an assistant to someone like you
your personalities really have to align and the way that you guys communicate it
has to be very similar it just wasn't the best partnership
I don't think and like her way of communicating was totally different than
my way of understanding things I think she's a really great person and her and
I still have a really great relationship to this day I remember being let go was
the most I took a really big hit from it because I was thinking like I'm not good
enough as a person now looking back it's just because it wasn't a personal thing
it wasn't because she doesn't like me but it just was the way that we both
worked together didn't really work out it's important to come to terms with
that don't be embarrassed because it happens
to everyone so being let go that job was actually such like a blessing in
disguise because it just really helped me to get into real estate quicker than
I maybe would have wanted to and so I had my life is already and so I became
an agent at that same office and I think it was really helpful that me and my old
boss had a really really good relationship because she ended up
helping me out a lot a lot of people think that working in real estate is
just easy money you sell how she make a huge chunk of Commission all you have to
do is just talk to people but it's not that easy I feel
it's not really talked about working real estate is one of the toughest jobs
I've ever had because you're your own boss and so you really need to keep
yourself accountable and I feel like this applies to any job but you have to
be really disciplined and accountable there's no start and end time so when I
was my own boss and I was an agent I could go into the office whenever I
wanted we had sales meetings at my office like every few weeks and so I
would go in and attend the meetings kind of learn about the contracts and stuff
like that and I would also set up my desk and kind of just cold call people I
would attend open houses I would hold open houses one thing that people don't
really talk about as far as real estate is you need to have a lot of money saved
up you're not getting paid until you sell your first house and not every
single person is gonna want to trust a brand-new agent with selling or buying a
home so it kind of takes a while to build that experience and so you're
working a lot of hours without pay so I think there's a really good thing that I
had worked so many jobs in the past and I had a lot of money saved up when I
first started I ended up getting a listing really early on I had to pay for
a photographer to come and take photos at the house you had to buy the signs
and you have to buy all of your business cards and all of your marketing
materials the Flyers brochures all of that I paid almost $1,000 and obviously
you have the fees that you paid to your office as well I paid a monthly fee to
my office part of your commission goes to your office as well and so you end up
paying a lot of fees and so takes a lot of time and commitment to build your
database - and find clients are willing to trust you with the sale of their home
and at the same time you have to be willing to put in the work
you just have to be really disciplined and put in the time and effort into your
business and then it will pay off eventually so I would say it takes like
one to two years to build up your business going to classes holding open
houses in order to finally have like a good customer database and start making
money from it while I was working real estate I honestly was not making a lot
of money because my database was so weak I was just starting out and a lot of the
money I made was actually helping a lot of the agents
out in the office and helping to hold their open houses and stuff like that
and be using this eyeshadow primer by Terry Mayer yeah those are all the jobs
that I had I feel like this video is gonna be five million years long all the
jobs that I had I feel like really taught me to be Who I am today that and
like my breakup with Brandon I learned so much from that I also have a couple
other get ready with me is on like toxic friendships I really like having these
it down talk through videos you know because I feel like a lot of these
things aren't really talked about also by the way I'm using this new alia
eyeshadow palette and this is in the cool nudes and so I'm just gonna use
this brown for transition color feel like I learned so much from all of those
jobs it just makes me feel all the more powerful like knowing that whatever I
set my mind to I can do it and now doing what I do full-time like YouTube is not
easy people think it's all fun and games but actually you don't make that much
money when you start out and it's very similar to real estate how it's like
it's pretty much having your own business and when you first start out
you're not making very much money you have to be really disciplined and put in
a lot of hours and pretty much do stuff for free all the time I have a couple
videos up on my IG TV I have some podcasts that I will link down below
where I just kind of talk about like what it's like being influenced or how I
really built this business up and stuff like that if you guys are interested in
like a day in my life law I can definitely do a video on that I knew
when I started my youtube channel that I was gonna work really hard at it and
like failure was not an option yeah you just have to be really disciplined
anything that you want to do and if you are discipline and you don't want to
accept failure as an option you will succeed in anything that you do if you
want to be a real estate agent if you want to tell your parents that you don't
want to be an engineer you want to be a makeup artist on YouTube do it like you
can be very successful if you set your mind to it you put in the time and
you're okay with having failures from time to time here I mean the reason why
I actually started my youtube channel is because
I was let go from that job and I ended up having a lot of free time and that's
why I started my youtube channel so I think about it all the time about like
if I hadn't been let go how different my life would have been okay next I'm gonna
go in with these new Wonder swiped by Rimmel and these are actually two-in-one
liquid liners two eyeshadow so I quickly want to show you guys pretty much swipe
it as an eyeliner then you rub it in and it becomes an eyeshadow like look how
pretty not crazy so this color is it doesn't say I've got the brown one so
Wow so that is what it looks like it looks very very pretty but you really
have to blend quickly with it so okay so I actually want to make it a little bit
more warm color so I'm gonna go in with this warm nude palette from Ilya and use
this color right here and then I think I'm gonna try the orange color oh wow
that is so pretty gorgeous gorgeous okay so on my eyes I
am using these lashes from Luxy lashes one of my followers actually sent me
this and it is her brand so I actually have a discount code that you guys can
use it is just Christine leaves for ease I'll go ahead and leave it down in the
description box as well so while those are drying I'm gonna go and apply some
mascara I'm using the heroine make volume at Carl mascara this is from
Japan I love this it is like one of the best waterproof mascaras I've ever tried
and then next I'm trying out this clove and Hollow mascara this is a clean
beauty brand I've talked about their brand before first impressions I
actually really really like that mascara it really did a good job of thickening
up my lashes and this is what my eyelashes look like ignore Herbert right
there he's making a little appearance okay so that is what the lashes look
like we're gonna give them a second to dry and next I'm gonna go in with this
fit me powder in 310 whenever I have my under eyes look super super bright one
trick that I love to do is to go in with a foundation powder and go all over my
face and it really helps to even out my skin a little bit more is getting a
little bit cooler here in California actually it's still 80 or 90
degrees today so it's still very warm but now it kind of feels like fall so
I've been loving the mat and makeup look and then I'm gonna set my face with my
Catrice HD performance setting spray I have not used this before but I love
their other illuminating spray lining with my Mac spice lip liner lip gloss
from Rimmel and that is the finished look so that is the finished look I hope
you guys enjoyed this video how do you recommend you to work a lot of different
jobs and I think it also taught me so much like it made me a really
well-rounded employee or Bhatia was definitely a fun job for me to have and
I don't regret working there but my favorite job that I ever had was working
out of barista and I think the most difficult job that I ever had was
working in the real estate industry that is it for today's video I hope you all
