My Favorite YouTubers

Hey my lovelies, I hope you're well. Today's post is going to be telling you of my favorite YouTubers! I've been watching YouTube since about 2008/2009, I was 14-16 in this period so obviously I was just getting into wanting to take care about my appearance by wearing make-up, using heat tools on my hair and some what caring what I wear each day. 

First up is my all time favorite Youtuber that is a lot of other people's favorites as this person has 7+ million subscribers and that is Zoe Sugg known as Zoella in the YouTube and Blog world. I've been watching her literally since she started YouTuber in late 2009 where she always posted Primark Hauls, she loved a but of Primark back then. It's been amazing watching her come this far over the years and I've loved being apart of it. She's such a lovely hard working person that has achieved so much in her life it's so inspiring and uplifting to watch which makes her such a great role model and inspiration for young girls.

Next up is another YouTuber that I've watched for years since 2010 and that's Meghan Rienks, formally known as Meghan Rosette. She really hasn't changed a bit through all her success, she's still that bubbly and nutty girl she was when she begun YouTube. I love her personality, she's so fun and I never bore from her videos her attitude is so fresh to watch, I also love her Vlog channel as well. I love watching her latest Vlogmas where she got her nose job which has the name Olivia (I love that name!)

Away from the beauty scene a moment I have the SacconeJoly's, oh my I love this family they're so fun and warming to watch. It's amazing watching Emilia and Eduardo grow as well as Anna and Johnathon's love. I will be honest, I only started watch them last year when Zoe kept going on about watching them. So I;m always on the look out for new YouTubers and had to check them out and been hooked since.

Back to beauty again and I have Tess Christine, I love her videos especially her Get The Looks, she does them so well and spot on, and also her Get Healthy With Me series is one on my favorites as I'm trying to become healthy and she has amazing content on that. I've been watching her a few years now and she's one that's always consistent with her videos and works so hard on them, you can clearly see when you watch them. I love her personality, she's so kind and bubbly it's nice to watch

Lately I've been loving Australia YouTubers, no reason why I just found a couple that I love watching and they are Shani Grimmond and Danielle Mansutti. I've been watching Shani over a year now and she's so entertaining to watch. She does amazing tutorials from all different looks but she's not acting like a teacher per say in the tutorials, her personality shines through them and I find her hilarious, she always acts goofy and it's refreshing to watch. I discovered Dani only at the beginning of the year and already she's one of my favorites, she only started YouTube last year so I weren't to late coming across her channel. She's spoke a lot about her life in the past how she's always been bullied and that she was originally from the UK and moved to Australia years ago. She's so timid but her personality is lovely and each video she puts up she's becoming more and more confident and I love watching that. She also does lovely tutorials covering various looks which is nice to see.

Last up I got ThatcherJoe, yep the brother of Zoella. I've been watching him literally since he put up his first video in 2012 because he'd been in some of Zoe's videos and he made me laugh so when Zoe said he'd created a channel I was straight over there subscribing. I love his videos with Zoe, his accent videos, impressions and innuendo bingo the most. He is hilarious and hasn't changed at all though the whole time he's been on YouTube.

They're my favorites that I wanted to tell you about but I watch many many more YouTubers which I'm going to name for you. (Alphabetical Order from sub list) AlishaMarie, AllieMarieEvans, Amber Fillerup, Amelia Liana, Andrea's Choice, Anna Saccone, Annie Jaffrey, AprilAthena7, Arden Rose, Aspyn Ovard, Ava Allan, BeautyCrush, Beautyklove, BeautyLiciousInsider, BeautyTakenIn, Bethany Mota, BubzBeauty, Caitlin Bea, Cambria Joy, Carly Bybel, Casey Holmes, Caspar, Chloe Morello, Chloe Szepanowski, CiaooBelllaxo, Claudia Sulewski, Dulce Candy, Emily-Victoria Canham, Essie Button, Fleur DeForce, Gabriella Lindey, Gigi Gorgeous, Glitteralittle, iheartmakeup92, ilikeweylie, Ingrid Nilsen, Jackie Wyers, JLovesMac1, Kacey Laine, Kalyn Nicholson, Karissa Pukas, Kaushal Beauty, Kayley Melissa, Kingsley, Krazyrayray, LaurDIY, Lauren Curtis, Lauren Elizabeth, Lindsey Hughes, Lisa Pullano, Luxy Hair, MakeupByMandy24, MakeupByTiffanyD, MamaMiaMakeup, Marcus Butler, Marissa Lace, MayBaby, Melissa Merk, Michelle Phan, Miss Budget Beauty, MissTiffanyMa, MszJackieChu, mylifeasava, Nicole Guerriero, Niki and Gabi, Nikki Phillippi, PixieWoo, PointlessBlog, Rachel Talbott, RachLoves, Sam, Sarah Belle, Sara Fit, Shaaanxo, SierraMarieMakeup, SMLx0, SprinkleOfGlitter, StilaBabe09, Tanya Burr, Tara Michelle, thatMISSYgirl7, themaddiebruce, Vivian Vo-Farmer, Vivianna Does Makeup, xxoLeeny

Christmas 2014

Hey my lovelies, I hope you all had an amazing Christmas with your loved ones and got what you wanted. I know I'm very late on this bandwagon, but hey better late than never right?! Personally I love posts and videos of what people got for Christmas and what they did for the day, I don't know why I just do. As do many people so I thought I'd do one, my first one on this blog yay.

This year I was determined to make this a better Christmas than 2013 as my parents were going through a messy break up and it just wasn't a relaxing or enjoyable time last year, it was awkward and depressing. Also on Christmas Day 2010 around 9-10am (I think) my granddad (dad's dad) passed away and I was ever so close with him it broke my family and I's hearts to pieces so Christmas is always a sad time for us regardless of what else we have going on.

I am very happy to say this Christmas was the best one in years I was at my parents house (yes they are back together in case you didn't read my best of 2014 post) with my boyfriend, my little sister and brother, my older brother, his girlfriend, my niece and my nan whom is the wife of my passing granddad. All we did was exchange gifts, unwrap gifts, eat, talk, laugh and have a lovely day. Then at 5pm my brother, his girlfriend and my niece took my nan home and then they went to my brother's girlfriend's sisters house. My mum ended falling asleep, then my dad and boyfriend decided to get drunk so I was left to put my little sister and brother up to bed. And then I ended up tidying and washing up from dinner which was A LOT of stuff to wash.

I also got spoilt from everyone, I was surprised at how much I got. So I'm going to get the stuff not needed to have pictures of out of the way. I got tons and tons of pair of socks, like literally enough to last me a whole month without needing to use old pairs or ones that have been washed. 4 sets of pajamas's, 3 pairs of slippers, fluffy dressing gown, leggings, Simple make-up wipes and some money. You can never have enough of those I just mentioned to be honest. I also got a plastic pot/bin of beauty stuff; such as small and big pads for make-up removal, Simple make-up wipes, stick on nail designs, Montague Jeunesse face masks, small cherry Yankee Candle, Tube of mini parma violet sweets (my fave) Also as on the cover image I got a Vaseline pot with 3 Vaseline lip balms in original, cocoa butter and aloe vera.

Below are pictures of the exciting stuff I got and at the very bottom there's a caption of what they all are.

(Soap and Glory The Perfect Ten Palette, Make-Up Revolution London Palette, Mac Rebel Lipstick, NO7 Stay Perfect Amazing Eyes Liner Pencil, Zoella Eyes Make-Up Bag, Maybelline The Colossal Mascara, Mac Studio Sculpt Foundations, Benefit They're Real Mascara, The Porefessional, Hoola Bronzer, Marc Jacobs Daisy Eau So Fresh Fragrance, Justin Bieber The Key Fragrance, Britney Spears Original and Limited Addition Fragrances. Merry Christmas Special Auntie Key Ring, Lauren Pen, Personalised Auntie Card Picture Frame, Pink and Silver Auntie Bracelet, Jon Richard Bracelet, White iPad Mini 1, Original Converse.)

I hope you liked this post and don't think I'm bragging because I'm not I love these posts and seeing what other people got or did Christmas Day. If you want a review on any of the stuff I got then leave a comment below or let me know on my social media. Thank you.

My Favorite Lipsticks

I'm not an everyday lipstick person because it can be too high maintenance especially when I've got to work or I'm busy, so I won't wear any. But on my days off or when I feel like it, i pretty much have lipsticks that would go with any mood, season or outfit. And here are some of my favorites that I thought I would show you all, they're in color order that goes from nude to dark.

First is a nude, it's the Revlon Matte Lipstick in 001 Nude Attitude. As pretty much most matte lipsticks, it can cling to dry patches so I would advise your lips to be exfoliated and moisturized with chap stick. Aside from that I love this color, it doesn't wash my lips out as it's more of a peach toned nude.

The second and last nude in my favorites is Rimmel London Apocalips Lip Lacquer in 600 Nude Eclipse. Unlike the first nude this one isn't matte, it's more of a mix lip gloss and lipstick which is the best of both worlds. It's very easy to apply and doesn't wash my lips out as it's also a peach toned nude.

The third lipstick is Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter in 027 Juicy Papaya. This is a lovely everyday better than your lips color, it's moisturizing and I opt for this when I don't want nothing to noticeable. I love lip butters, they glide on your lips and look lovely whether your lips are dry or not.

The fourth lipstick is Max Factor Color Elixir in 825 Pink Brandy. This is a pretty coral color, it's moisturizing, easy to apply and will look nice whether your lips are dry or not.

The fifth lipstick is Bourjois Rouge Edition in 02 Beige Trench. This is a kind of different color as it's a nude coral that had undertones of purple, I love this shade. It's moisturizing, easy to apply and will look nice whether your lips are dry or not.

This sixth lipstick is Revlon ColorBurst Matte Balm in 205 Elusive. This is a cute baby pink and I probably wear this the most as it's an everyday color. For being matte I find it moisturizing as it is a balm and doesn't look to bad on dry lips if I'm honest, it's also very easy to apply.

The seventh lipstick is Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in 835 Berry Couture. This is another one of my most worn, as it's a beautiful pink purple shade and is a lovely pop of color for everyday. It's moisturizing, easy to apply and will look nice on your lips whether they're dry or not.

The eighth lipstick is Revlon ColorBurst Lip Butter in 075 Lollipop. It's a cute pink shade that has a blue undertone, it's moisturizing, easy to apply and will look nice on your lips whether they're dry or not.

The ninth lipstick is Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in 005 Crush. On days where I'm feeling of having a noticeably kind of dark lip I pick this one. It's moisturizing, easy to apply and will look good whether your lips are dry or not as it's a balm.

The tenth lipstick is Rimmel London Apocalips Lip Lacquer in 102 Nova. I love to wear this when I'm in the mood for a cute pink lip, it has blue undertones. It's moisturizing, easy to apply and will look good on your lips whether they're dry or not.

The eleventh lipstick is Rimmel Lasting Finish Matte Lipstick By Kate Moss in 107 Wine. I got this lipstick because it's one of Zoella from YouTube's favorite red lipsticks and she wears it a lot. It's the perfect red for me and I wear this on nights out. Even though this is a matte lipstick it's easy to apply and I don't think it's drying for the lips or clings to dry patches.

The twelfth lipstick is Revlon ColorStay Ultimate Suede Lipstick in 035 Backstage. As it's a dark color it can be a little hard to apply as any mistake will be very noticeable. It's quite moisturizing but I recommend you to exfoliate your lips before hand as dry patches can be easily seen. But I love this shade when I want a vampy dark lip.

The thirteenth and last of my favorite lipstick is Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipstick in 128 Starry Eyed. This is my favorite for a dark lip as I find it's moisturizing and easy to apply. But as it is a dark lip, imperfections can be easy to see so I recommend your lips to be exfoliated first.

I think I'm 5'5 or 5'6.

Yes 3. 2 in my ears and my belly button.

I can't pick one. So here a my main faves Pretty Little Liars, The Fosters, The Carrie Diaries and all the Kardashian shows.

I bath every morning without fail so if I included that in my time it would be an hour and a half. But if we didn't include that then probably 20 minutes, I'm lazy with my make-up and hair on an everyday basis.
