New Lighting!

I got new lighting for my videos, and when I got home from work tonight I played around with it for a little while, and I took some pictures just to see the difference, and I am super amazed. I am in love with the new lights and I cannot wait to start filming videos!
On the Left is without the lights, and on the right is with them.
So as you can see, the new lights make my skin look much paler, which is totally okay with me, because my skin is actually very pale in real life, and because of the lighting situation in the area that I film there are a lot of shadows that make me look tanner than I really am. The lights also bring out colors in my makeup a LOT better. 

If you're interested, I got my lights off Ebay, they are called 


"Photo Studio Video Lighting Photography Softbox"

My lights were in the size 20" x 28" 
The tripods or stands for them were separate, as well as the light bulbs for them. 

I recommend buying lights from a local lighting store, or a photography shop/camera shop, because if you buy them on ebay, there is a huge chance that they are international, and you will need to get international light bulbs for them. Also, if you have any questions about the lighting or soft boxes, you can ask people in person, and you don't risk breaking bulbs by having them shipped to you!
I do really love my lights so far, but I definitely think it would be smarter to buy them at a store that is in your area, so you can test them, ask questions about them, and make sure completely that they are what you are wanting/needing. 
I was going to link my lights here, but they aren't on the sellers list anymore, so I can't. but I'm sure if you searched 20" x 28" photo studio video lighting photography softbox that you would find them. 
This is what they look like with the stands attached, this is a photo I found on Google, I will try to get a photo of mine so you can see them as soon as I can!


If you have any questions at all about the lights I will be more than welcome to answer them with the best of my knowledge!
