I have had the longest day cleaning, tidying and building furniture, I really wanted a time out so settled on the sofa to watch some youtube. I feel like I get so little time to actually watch videos now. It's kind of anti-social to sit with my laptop, headphones on so I tend to read more blog posts. I really enjoy blogs and blogging for that reason.. I can still interact with my family and watch TV etc but connect with the "beauty community" at the same time. So... to my point... I am subscribed to 40 different channels, every now and then I have a clear out and un-sub from the ones I don't really watch so I don't miss new videos from those I do. I would watch any video from any of my current subscriptions happily because of this, however, I only get so much time alone to watch and I wanted to share with you all the youtubers I go back to time and time again and always love.
This isn't going to be so much a "shout out" post as some of these already have a substantial following, it's more like "let's share what we love and why we love it". So I'll just get started...
In no particular order..
1. MakeupByTiffanyD
I love love love this girl! I don't know what it is about her I just find her so easy to watch. She's very pretty, does beautiful makeup looks and she kind of talks like you're with her, less detached from the camera than some can be and I like that. She uses a lot of Urban Decay and MAC which I don't mind (I know some do) and she pretty much uses Sigma brushes religiously which I like because I have them. She mentions often that she has problem skin and reviews products that help her and talks about her love of Proactiv.
I follow her on twitter and she has a blog which she updates with comprehensive details from her Tutorials, you can find her links below...
2. emilynoel83
Emily is a news anchor and you can tell. She is so confident in front of the camera and always super preened and beautiful. She drugstore products almost exclusively with a few mid-range thrown in every now and then from brands like MAC and Too Faced. Emily's video are of a higher quality than you see from most "guru's" on youtube. She puts so much time into planning videos that her viewers will want to see eg. high end Dupes, product tests and gift ideas. She makes "Em's World" video's that show you an insight into her life which I really enjoy. She's another easy watcher I'd recommend any of you to sub to if you're not already.
Emily also tweets regularly (plus for a big twitter fan like myself)
3. kandeejohnson
Kandee is HUGE on YouTube so I know you will have watched or at least heard of her.
She's so smiley and happy all the time and she has SO many haters I don't know how she keeps it up. I love her blog maybe even more than her youtube channel.. She's a fantastic makeup artist but if I'm honest the tutorial side of youtube is only a tiny part of it's appeal for me. I like to watch someone that "lights up" and it really passionate about what they're talking about... no matter what it is. She has kids that she blogs a lot about and as I'm sure you know she's recently had a new little addition so I followed her pregnancy while we were trying to concieve and now her baby posts are makeing me even more broody now I'm finally pregnant. Even though our worlds are so far apart I can really relate to her and that's why I watch her videos and read her blog.
4. juicytuesday
I have really had my up's and downs with juicytuesday (Teresa). It's a little like with juicystar07 (who by the way I'm not liking right now lol) I have changed my mind about her so many times but somehow she always seems to draw me back in. The titles of her videos aren't particularly captivating, there's nothing she's doing to make people want to watch her videos but she doesn't have to do anything. She doesn't edit, she rambles for as long as she likes at top speed about all kinds of things and I just love her... there's not a lot more I can say!
They are my top picks - I watch every video they put out.. there are a few others I want to mention too..
I would love for you to let me know who your all time favourites are and why!
Wow so you're NOT going to rim the girls you arse lick on twitter? Well arn't you clever : )
ReplyDeletewho? and who would I possibly have to arse lick? I can't believe you even read my blog... I believe you are my one hater, and you have seriously got to find something better to do!
ReplyDeleteDear MR Hater! GO AWAY! I HATE YOU!
ReplyDeleteHahaha one hater <3 You wish sweetheart.
ReplyDeleteI see girls constantly trying to talk to you (I don't know why) and you're so up yourself you ignore them like you're something special.
You're a bitch and a snob, the only people I ever see you make an effort with are girls who are popular on YT, hoping to get an extra follower you'll ignore off their back.
I don't know who you are "sweetheart" but you are alone! I bet you cried when I took anon questions off formspring! I ignore nobody and most of the people I talk to regularly are fairly new to youtube or bloggers. I would love to see examples of this sucking up. Everyone's special in their own way.. I'm sure you have your redeeming features, I'm assuming at some point you messaged me and and I didn't message you back... so I'm a bitch? ok!
ReplyDeleteWhat's even the point of leaving nasty comments, if you don't like her blog then don't bloody read it! Dont you have anything better to do?!
ReplyDeletethey like the attention.. i've disabled anon comments now so if they want to hate they'll have to show their "face"
ReplyDeleteWe all know this is complete lies, I have the tiniest blog and am fairly new but everytime I ask something / talk to you on twitter you always reply. clearly this is someone with a grudge, dont let them get to you :D
ReplyDeletealso i dont know if you've already done one but i'd really like a similar post for blogs you love. i tend to read way more blogs than yt and am dying for some new ones, thanks :D
ReplyDeleteyour amazing your one of the best gurus ever! + im obbsessed with yt and ive subscrbed to 300 people, and your in my top 5 favourites!<3
ReplyDeleteYou know who I love on youtube,... It's you :) x you're so beautiful and I love your hauls especially. I also like to just look at your makeup, especially your blush, your cheeks always seem to be flushed and peachy which I love :) you can get carried away with hair dye but other than that. LOVE you x
ReplyDeleteSo sweet of you to mention little ol' me :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm subscribed to so many people on YouTube and I'm always finding new favourites. I probably don't watch the bigger YouTubers as much anymore, I like watching and supporting girls who are just starting out.xx
ReplyDeleteyeah the ones mentioned are the only big ones I watch now... I also prefer to watch the lesser known ones.. they're humbler maybe but then I think that's why I like those I like.. they seem to have remained normal :)
ReplyDelete@katherine... i really like your videos you deserved mention :)
