YOUTUBE CELEBRITY?

Okay, so have you ever discovered something big that you didn't know was going on? Like when I was 11 years old and I discovered the world of online fan-fiction and started writing dramatic stories about *Nsync centered around Justin Timberlake... but no worries that's just an example. This time I've discovered something way better.

I've been addicted to anything nails & make up re-lated lately and have taken to purchasing things offline. Sadly it's hard to tell the exact color & quality of things through a computer screen. So first I discovered tons of cosmetic/nail addicts online that purchase new items like wildfire and then post pictures and reviews about them (Search
"All Laquered Up" & "Temptalia" on Google to see what I mean). And these blogs were super helpful, but I still needed more. Then I moved to Youtube. Let me tell you there are a lot of Youtube celebrities. Michelle (MichellePhan) is a YouTube queen with over 24,000,00 views and over 600,000 subscribers. Blair (JuicyStar07) and her sister Elle (AllThatGlitters21) have about 560,000 subscribers COMBINED! And if you're still not impressed they even were recently featured on Good Morning America for their advice on fashion & beauty trends.

So what do you talk about? Products Reviews, "Hauls" (Overviews of recently purchased items), Monthly Favorites (Posted at the beginning of each new month about all the users favorite items used during the previous month) and so much more. The girls (&boys!) range for age 13 all the way into their 30's and 40's and cover a wide range of topics from how to apply foundation, new summer nail polish colors, hair products for thick hair, how to attach hair extensions, how to do your make-up like Kim Kardashian, and which is better gel liner or liquid. You could spend hours watching these girls (& I do!) and you really can learn something new.

Below I've posted some personal favorite videos/users for others to check out for themselves. I'm considering starting my own youtube channel.. Okay to be honest I already have but it's not quite up to par yet to show here so keep waiting! ;)
