Top 5 Favorite Beauty YouTubers

When ever I am looking to buy a new product or product recommendations, I always turn to YouTube. I put together a list of the top 5 beauty YouTubers I always turn too or who I enjoy watching. This list is not in any order because I watch them all regularly.

Vivianna Does Makeup

This girl is incredible. Her videos always look professional and she always has these great ideas for videos. She posts a weekly vlog every Tuesday, which always has some interesting adventures and the London scenery is so beautiful. Anna also writes a blog (here).

Essiebutton

I must give some love to one of my favorite Canadian YouTubers. Estee is from Canada but is living in London. Estee has a great sense of humor and she says the most honest things (some that we are all thinking) when it some to beauty products. She has a separate vlog channel (here) and she has a blog (here). Also, if you like her boyfriend Aslan, he has his own channel (here). His videos are DIYs and recipes.

Young Wild and Polished

This chick is hilarious. If you ever need a good laugh but want to learn about beauty, YWP is your gal. Her videos are longer in length because she is chatty but she really goes in depth about the products. Her hauls are my favorite videos to watch. She also posts nail art tutorials, which all seem fun and very easy to do.

Emily Noel 83

Emily is the YouTuber I turn to when I want a ton of information on a product. She has a great personality and her reviews are always in depth. She has two main channels, one which is longer videos like hauls, favorites and empties and her second channel is strictly reviews in an express style format (here). I watch both channels and both are very good. Emily also has a vlog channel (here). Emily also writes a blog (here).

Jaclyn Hill

Jaclyn is the best YouTuber for tutorials because she is an actual makeup artist. Not saying that other beauty YouTubers don't have good makeup tutorials or don't know what they are doing. I always watch Jaclyn's tutorials to learn new techniques. I also really enjoy her favorites and haul videos.

These are my top favorite Beauty YouTubers. What are your favorite beauty YouTubers to watch? Let me know in the comments below.

Stay beautiful,
Sarah

PS; I. must apologize for the lack of posts last week, I was sick and had no urge to write. I will be posting extra this week to make up for it.

Top Five Favourite Lip Products (High End + Drugstore)

The next installment of my top five faves is lip products. I do have more high end than drugstore because I am still searching for lip products that I love from the drugstore.

Rimmel Kate Moss Lipsticks in 101 and 17


Swatch L to R; 101, 17
These are my all time favourite lipsticks! The formula is creamy, not to drying on the lips and it has great color payoff. These lipsticks smell like candies to me, which is a major plus! These lipsticks also come in a variety of colors ranging from pinks to bold reds. The difference between the red tube and the black tube of these lipsticks is that the red tube is a matte finish.






Clinique Chubby Stick Lip Color Balm

Swatch T to B; 06, 13, 14
I have this lip product in three colors; 06-Woppin' Watermelon, 14-Curvy Candy and 13-Mighty Mimosa. This lip product is very moisturizing because it is a balm and it has a sheer color. I really enjoy these balms for when I am having a no makeup makeup day or when I want to wear a lip color but also want my lips to be moisturized. This product comes in a variety of colors as well.






Swatch of Butter Cream
Color Your Smile Glosses by Gerard Cosmetics


These are my all time favourite lip glosses. I hauled these glosses here. These glosses have a great color payoff and they smell like vanilla. I also really like that these glosses come with a built in light (it's it the cap!) and they have a mirror on one side. I have there colors; Rose Hill, Butter Cream, and Sugar Mama. Butter Cream and Rose Hill were created by Jaclyn Hill. My favourite gloss is Butter Cream.



Lip Liners


Swatch of East End Snob
I have two lip liners which are my favourites. My favourite high end lip liner is No Bleeding Lips. This is a secret lip liner, meaning it is completely clear. I like this lip liner because it goes with every color and it stops bleeding and feathering. My favourite drugstore lip liner is Rimmel's Exaggerate Lip Liner in 63-East End Snob. This is a nudey-pink lip liner which goes with most nudes and pinks. What I really enjoy about this liner is wearing it by its self. I fill in my lips with this lip liner and it looks completely natural.

Swatch of Sugar Berry


Fresh Sugar Berry Tinted Lip Treatment

This product is a lip treatment with an amazing color payoff. I featured this product in my Makeup Shake Up (here) because it has a bold berry color. I love that this lip product treats chapped lips as well as making them look good. The perfect combo.






These are my top five favourite lip products, what are yours? What is your favourite lip products from the drugstore or high end brands?

Stay beautiful,
Sarah

Top Five Fave Eyeliners (Drugstore + High End)

In this Top Five Fave post, I am going to talk about my favorite Eyeliners from both the drugstore and high end brands. I have a great mix of liquid and pencil liners, some are colorful and some are just plain black.


Kat Von D Tattoo Liner in Trooper

I think this is my favorite high end liquid liner. This liner goes on so smoothly and because it is not a felt tip liner, I find it very easy to control. This liner is very black and it dries matte. This liner makes it super easy to create the perfect wing and makes it easy to draw thick or thin lines.







Maybelline Line Stiletto in blackest black

This is my all time favorite drug store eyeliner. I actually wrote about this in my last Top Five Faves post (here). So I will make this short. It is a felt tip liner but I find it very easy to control. Also, it has a very black formula, actually the blackest formula I have seen on a liner. This liner lasts all day for me.


L'Oreal Silkissime Liner in True Teal

I did a review on these liners (here) and I am still very happy with them. These liners do come in black and grey but I really enjoy the teal one. The formula of these liners are buttery and very soft. They have a great color pay off and they usually last about six hours for me.






Sephora Brand Eyeliners

Although these liners are in Sephora, I don't find them ridiculously priced. I have many liners from this brand in many colors but I grabbed the black one in the Nano version for this post. The formula of these pencil liners in very smooth and creamy. All of these liners have a great color payoff and they last a very long time.

Too Faced Perfect Eyes liner in Perfect Black

This pencil liner glides on smoothly and it has amazing color pay off. I enjoy how this liner comes with a smudger at one end so it is very easy to create a Smokey eye look. These liners are waterproof and don't budge all day. This liner comes in five other colors as well.






These are my Top Five Favorite eye liners, some of them are newer and some I have enjoyed for awhile. What are your favorite eye liners? Have you tried any of the ones I mentioned?

Stay beautiful

Top Five Fave Drugstore Make Up Products

Even though high end products are great and they usually work well, they aren't exactly budget friendly. Also, I believe everyone needs to have drugstore products they like because you never know when you may need a quick product pick up. Today, I've decided to round up my top five favorite drugstore make up products and share them with you.

1) Garner Skin Renew BB Cream

As I have already mentioned, I am a light coverage gal. Out of all the BB creams I've tried, both drugstore and high end, this one is the best. It goes on flawlessly, it even outs skin tones and the coverage can be built up (not quite to medium but pretty close). I also love that this product also comes in an oil free formula, an anti aging formula and a skin tone correcting formula. This is my go to BB cream everyday because it makes my skin look flawless.


2) Maybelline Line Stiletto

This liquid liner easily defeats many high end brands. This liner is a felt tip liner, which I usually don't like because the felt tip is harder to use and bends too easily. However, the felt tip on this liner is on the shorter side and it doesn't bend quite as easy as others. This product is also the blackest formula I have ever seen in a liner.

3) L'Oreal True Match Concealer
This is a crayon concealer that easily blends and covers almost everything from pimples to redness. It is slightly on the more expensive side of the drugstore products but way cheaper than some higher end brands. This concealer has a wide range of colors so everyone can find their perfect match. I mostly use this concealer on a day to day basis and I usually don't have to pull out a heavy duty concealer because this one works!



4) Revlon Color Burst Balm Stain in 001 Honey


Swatch of 001 Honey
This lip crayon in this color is amazing. Honey reminds me of a nude with a tinge of mauve, completely a my lips but better product. This lip crayon does stain your lips so it lasts almost all day. Since this is a balm it does provide moisture to your lips. This product is also super easy to apply and takes any make up look to the next level. This lip product is easily my go to lip color.





5) Maybelline Color Tattoos

Swatch of Barely Branded
This is a cream eye shadow that is supposed to lasts 24 hours. These eye shadows are incredible! They color payoff is incredible, they don't crease and they come in a variety of colors; including limited edition ones. Not only are these shadows an easy swipe on and go kind of product but they also make a great base for other eye shadow looks. I personally own five of this product but my favorite one to use is Barely Branded .

These are my top five favorite drugstore products. What are your favorites? Have you tried any of mine?
