Vlogs

I have spent my day on YouTube. It is very rare that I have a day to do nothing. I think this was much overdue. The weather was so awful so it gave me a perfect excuse! Although, it only fuelled my obsession with all things makeup I have learned a lot. There are a few YouTube channels that I just HAVE to share with you. Watching these channels can be overwhelming. Often I feel that way myself. So many products, so many brushes. But, if you take bits and pieces from them all, consider what you already have, what you may be able to add, you would be surprised at how YOU would be able to achieve the looks! Makeup is an art. There isn't a wrong and a right way. 

Number 1:  Jaclyn Hill

I just happened upon this channel today and I just loved Jaclyn's fun energy and I just found myself smiling and throughly enjoying what she had to say. 

Number 2: Leighann Says

This girl is also really fun and enjoyable to watch. She doesn't take herself seriously at all. She really shows that nothing is perfect or should be perfect. She has a mix of hair and beauty tutorials which are useful for both everyday and going out looks.

Number 3: Sona Gasparian

This channel is brilliant. Sona is stunning AND she uses loads of Urban Decay products. This is really useful for those of us who have bought Urban Decay palettes and are looking for inspiration.

What I love about these videos is not only do they give you ideas but they also give you a good insight in to different products. I'm a student with a part time job. Although I would absolutely love to buy it ALL, I can't. By watching these videos I can decided what I like and what I think I really need... or lets be realistic here what I really want! 

Each of these Vloggers use a wide range of brushes. From watching their videos I have discovered that 'Sigma' is a really good affordable brush collection. I use 'Real Techniques' brushes. They are great and also affordable and they can be found in Boots in Cork City. But, I love trying new things. I cannot wait to try the F80 Kabuki Foundation brush! It is what I am going to treat myself to after Christmas. Recently, I have just taken a hate towards my current one. 

Some of my collection

I hope these channels help you!
