Have you ever been watching a Beauty YouTube video and thought to yourself, “Wow, that sounds so great, I NEED to go get that!”? Yup, me too, I definitely have!

Sometimes these YouTube recommended items are “Winners”, and sometimes…”Not So Much”.

Here are a few things that YouTube Made Me Buy…

**Of course, just because some of these products didn’t work out for me doesn’t mean that they aren’t great products.  Makeup is such a personal thing, and I still take recommendations from Beauty YouTubers.**

Aussie 3 Minute Miracle

I LOVE this!  It really is a 3 minute miracle, it is awesome. I can’t quite place my finger on the scent to describe it, I don’t know, maybe a sweet citrus vanilla/orange creamsicle scent.  I don’t know if that really describes it, but I really like it.  It leaves my hair feeling super soft and healthy.  I have already repurchased this three times since I originally tried this one back in September.  

In my opinion, Aussie 3 Minute Miracle gets a rating of Winner!

Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara

Beauty YouTubers rave about this mascara!  I am a big fan of Maybelline mascaras so  I thought that with all the hype surrounding this one I was bound to love it.  NOPE!  I don’t like this mascara at all, not even one little bit.  I hate the brush, I hate the formula and I hate that it smudged all over my upper lids.  The few times that I wore it I looked like a hot mess!

For me, this mascara gets a rating of “Not so much”

Coty Airspun powder

If you can get over the overly excessive perfume scent of this powder then you are in for a great product!  I love the way this powder applies and how it lasts.  I am very sensitive to the way things smell, and despite the  scent, I love it.  Now that I have been using it for a while, I don’t even notice the way that it smells.

Rating of  Winner!

CeraVe Moisturizing Cream 

This is going way way back in my YouTube watching.  The first beauty YouTuber that I ever consistently watched was Huda Katan of Huda Beauty. (I wrote a whole post about her, she’s awesome!)  She has beautiful skin and she highly recommended this CeraVe Moisturizing Cream.  I purchased it on her recommendation and have been a believer ever since!

Rating of Winner!

Wet n Wild Silk Finish Lipstick, Will You Be With Me? 503C

Look at that color!  It is beautiful!  I think that this shade will work beautifully on so many different skin tones and shades.  So many Beauty YouTubers have talked about this shade of WnW lipstick, and for only $0.99 USD it is a real steal.  On the down side this lipstick does tend to dry out the lips, but nothing a bit of balm can’t cure.

Rating of Winner!

Lorac Pro Palette

I could go on and on and on about this palette.  I actually don’t think that YouTubers give enough love to the LORAC brand.  Everything from Lorac that I have ever tried has been amazing.  I LOVE my Lorac Pro Palette!  If you are planning on splurging on something special I highly recommend this absolutely wonderfully beautiful palette.  Read more about what I love about this palette by clicking HERE.

Rating of Double Extra Winner!

Maybelline Fit Me Concealer

NOPE!  I have given this concealer so many chances!  I don’t know if I just got a bad one, but it has never worked for me!  It is thin and watery yet it creases and just makes my under eye area look crepey.  I definitely don’t want to bring more attention to the wrinkles under my eyes!  I have heard so many YouTubers talk about how awesome this concealer is, so I am sad that it didn’t work out for me.

Rating of Not So Much.

On the other hand, that brings me to the next item that YouTube made me buy…

Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser Dark Circles Concealer + Treatment in brightener-

I may not like the Fit Me concealer, but this  Age Rewind concealer has never let me down!  I love the smooth consistency and the easy application.  I really love the way it just melts into my skin making my under eye area look smooth and fresh. I wrote a whole post about it that you can read by clicking HERE. 

Rating of Winner!

Loreal  Voluminous Volume Building Mascara Blackest Black

I hate this mascara! Possibly due to the fact that I got it in waterproof, I’m not sure.  I don’t know if the regular formula is better, but considering how highly recommended this mascara is, I am guessing that must be the case.  The waterproof one is terrible!  It is clumpy and thick, it made my eyelashes look terrible!

Rating of Not So Much

eos Lip Balm in Vanilla Mint

I REALLY wanted to like this lip balm!  The packaging is so cute and I love the idea of it.  But it is just not good.  Instead of moisturizing, it actually makes my lips feel dryer and also gives my daughter a rash around her mouth.  I didn’t even finish this one, it was that bad.

Definitely a rating of Not So Much

What about you?  Have you purchased things solely based on recommendations from YouTubers?  I’d love to hear what you have bought and whether or not it worked out for you!

*I bought all of these with my own money.  As always, all the opinions are all my own.
