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.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
