Shane Dawson's 'Conspiracy' Palette Is Insane, And The Perfect Representation Of His Career
@shanedawson on Instagram

In 2008, Shane Yaw, or Shane Dawson, launched his YouTube channel under the name ShaneDawsonTV. Since then, Dawson has been challenging himself and the entire YouYube community with his unique videos.

He started out doing skits as characters like Shanaynay, moving to food videos, trying weird girl products, ghost hunting, etc. Now Dawson is known for doing documentary-style series on YouTube most famous for "The Secret World of Jeffree Star."

Over the past month, Dawson has uploaded a six-part series of behind-the-scenes footage of creating his makeup collection in collaboration with Jeffree Star. The eyeshadow palette, "Conspiracy," gives me, someone who has been watching Dawson for years, the feels of everything Dawson has been through leading up to his launch.

From a bright yellow named "Food Videos" to a monochromatic black named "IlluminaTEA," the shade range and naming of the palette perfectly captures Dawson's YouTube career.

I have seen some indifference across the internet regarding Dawson's intentions with creating his collection. People are saying that he never was interested until he found out how much money he could make through sales.

When I saw people saying this, it got me thinking. I have been watching Dawson for years, and I always saw him as a genuine person. I always thought he deserved way more subscribers than he had due to always posting original content.

Dawson never had great sales with merch, and he states this in many of his YouTube videos. Dawson deserves everything that is happening to him right now because he is one of "the good ones." One of the YouTubers that rarely got sponsorships, yet still made videos every day for his fans.

So yes, maybe Shane was partly interested in making the palette because of the money involved, but I think more than that, Dawson wanted to give his fans something unique, and something they could create unique things with.

I cannot wait to get a hold of Dawson's collection and create the most amazing looks inspired by one of the most amazing YouTubers on the platform.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
