My Top 5 Youtube Beauty Gurus

I love YouTube, and I love watching beauty videos on YouTube! I think it's pretty amazing that these few people from all over the world have created a community by sharing something they have a passion for. They upload videos of hair and makeup tutorials, product reviews, advice and how-to's as well as lots more. I may not have much money to spend on the beauty products mentioned in all the videos, but when I do want to buy something I think it's so useful that I can take recommendations from these people. I am subscribed to alot of beauty realated channels on YouTube, but these are the first 5 that come to mind as my favourites. (In no particular order because I love them all!)

1. Ingrid from missglamorazzi

Ingrid's so sweet and usually does very natural make up looks. Her videos are well paced and she's very easy to listen to. I love hearing what products she recommends and trust her opinions.

2. Allison from Amarixe

Allison has a great sense of humour and her eye makeup always looks flawless. The make-up looks in her tutorials look amazing, so inspire me to try some of them out. Allison also gives very thorough reviews of beauty products she had tried.

3. Fleur from Fleur De Force

Fleur's down-to-earth personality really comes across in her videos. You can tell that she has a passion for makeup and loves sharing her thoughts on products with her viewers. She's also from the UK and so I know that the products she talks about will be available here.



4. Megan from meganheartsmakeup

Megan has such a fun girly personality and I always look forward to watching her videos. I think Megan's a great role model for teenagers as she gives great advice and seems to come across as someone who simply enjoys life. Her fashion and beauty videos are great too!

 5. Tanya from pixi2woo

Tanya's a professional makeup artist. Most of the videos on her beauty channel are makeup tutorials, and quite often she will be doing a celebrity inspired look requested for by her viewers. She does a great job of these and they are very easy to follow.

No7 Moisture Drench Lipstick

A few weeks ago I acquired this lipstick from my Mum. I'd been looking to get a myself a new lipstick for a while and was looking out for a colour which would look natural on me as I never usually where anything on my lips. I couldn't find a colour in the shops that I really liked, but whilst looking through my Mum's make-up I found that most of her lipsticks where the perfect colour I was looking for, and ended up keeping this one!

It's a No7 Lipstick from the Moisture Drench range in the shade Chic, number 60. The packaging of No7 lipsticks may appear fairly plain but in the light green and pink glitter shows up in the black plastic casing.

The colour is a nude toned pink which is close to my natural lip colour. It's one of those 'your lips but better' colours for me. It also contains SPF 15 and has a moisturising formula.

This is first lipstick I have owned and really used. I love the colour of this lipstick and it doesn't feel drying on my lips, although most of the time I apply my Burt's Bees Lip Balm before applying this. It currently available from Boots for £10.

Beauty Blog

For a few months now I've been writing on my blog beanyjane.blogspot.com where I have loved sharing my thoughts, things I love and what's been going on in my life. I've been writing about all sorts on there and lots of things I am interested in, but I realised there are so many things I am interested in that it would make more sense to separate them to each have a blog focused on that interest, so that it wasn't such a jumble. Hence my new beauty blog.

This is going to include anything beauty related, i.e. make up, skincare, haircare, nails etc. All of which I am very interested in. My interest of this is increased even more by my obsession of watching beauty gurus on youtube and reading beauty related blogs. I would like to do a similar thing but have very limited funds to buy new products so it is very rare that I get to try new things. Nevertheless, I can still blog about the products I do use and what I have thought of them. There are also fun tags that go around youtube which I thought could also be done on a blog. If you have any ideas of beauty related topics to write about please let me know. Hope you enjoy the posts to come.
