Favorite Youtuber/Blogger: MAY.

Hey ya'll, this is a smidge late, but oh well!

My favorite YouTuber this month is:

VICTORIA DONELDA. :)

She is hilarious and an amazing make up artist. I've been watching her since the beginning and I haven't grown tired or bored of her channel. I feel like it's gotten a lot better since december when she got a new camera, which is superb.

Beauty Guru Spotlight: guru of the year!!

It wasn't super hard for me to pick my favorite guru of the year. It's funny because the only reason I found out about her was because of a video she made about body positivity. After I watched that video, I subscribed, only to find make up tutorials and hauls and whatever in my inbox. I watched a few of her tutorials and fell in love with the genuineness in her personality.

Anyhow, I've mentioned her briefly before, so I'll just get right to it, my beauty guru for the year is:

Rachel Whitehurst.

 

This is Rachel's video on body image and her rant on the thinspo tag of Tumblr. It's the video I mentioned above that I first saw of hers. She also has a video called something like, Fuck Negativity (Advice on Life) - that is REALLY great, and of course her 3 part video series on college for people new to dorms and living on campus.

Besides these videos, she also posts really amazing covers, like she legitimately has a voice of a fucking angel. I swear to it. And, her makeup is always on point. I love her tutorials and first impressions because she is so straight up about everything. She'll tell you why she hates things, not just that she hates them, and same goes for why she loves things. I feel like she really considers all people with all different skin types when she makes tutorials, and when she's reviewing them. She's always thinks of what kind of skin type would work for a product that didn't work for her, instead of just writing it off as being a shitty product - which  is something I see a lot of beauty youtubers doing. 

Also, I have to mention: she is hilarious. so. hilarious. 

Here are all of her links & enjoy!:

Who was your favorite beauty guru this year? :)

Beauty Guru Spotlight: November.

My favorite beauty guru for the month of November was Kristee aka Strawberryelectric48 

I think she is absolutely hilarious and completely relatable. She's goofy and is very genuine with her subscribers. I like the way she reviews things, and how she's up front with products she dislikes and products she likes. She's also very quick to tell you WHY she doesn't like something, not just write it off like you should just take her opinion and go with it. She's quickly become one of my favorite gurus on youtube.

Beauty Guru Spotlight.

I got this idea when I posted my YDK swatches and mentioned Rachel Whitehurst. I think it'd be cool to just do "spotlight" type posts, because I think it's always cool to find someone new to watch on YouTube. I intend to do this monthly. :)

Beauty guru spotlight of this month is totally: GRAV3YARDGIRL on YouTube. :)

 She's sassy.(:

You can subscribe to her on youtube here: https://www.youtube.com/user/grav3yardgirl?feature=watch

Bunny has one of the most amazing personalities on youtube, I think. She's eccentric and she puts a lot into her videos. Even her tea vlogs where she's not really talking about anything in particular, she's still very entertaining. I trust her reviews too, I think she's pretty spot on and honest.

You can also find her on:

Urban Decay: YDK

During the sale at Sephora on UD, I bought YDK. I also wanted Uzi, but it sold out before I could get it. I actually almost didn't buy anything because I felt like I needed to be saving money, but my boyfriend talked me into it. ;p

I think I have been in love with this shade ever since I watched a tutorial by Rachel Whitehurst. I just knew from the moment I saw it on youtube that I wanted it. And many moons later, I have it now. :) I am in love. I wear this so dang much, it's probably ridiculous.

Here's a link to that tutorial if anyone was wondering: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWUxG9ja_so&feature=plcp

If you don't know about Rachel, you should. She is my favorite beauty guru EVAR.
