I usually skip ads and commercials, but when I saw this little commercial for the first time I watched it all the way through. It gets you right in the heart and brought a tear to my eye.! This is so sweet that I just had to share it!
You know that when I find something that I like I have to share it with all of you!
Recently I discovered a new YouTube channel called Drugstore Maven. She is a down to earth, easy going, somewhat serious, beautiful woman that does exclusively drugstore reviews. She hasn’t been on YouTube for long, but her videos are well produced and well edited!
Her channel is right up my ally! I love a good deal and I love finding great drugstore products!
Go check out her channel and let her know that I sent you!
Subscribe to Wanye Goss’ YouTube channel. I am not even kidding, that is it, that is my top for this week. He gives some of the best makeup tips and tricks. I have tried so many of his tips and they have changed up my makeup game! He usually posts new videos on Tuesdays and Fridays.
I would love for you to follow me on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook. You can find me as Looking Joli Good on all three. I would also love to follow you on Instagram and Twitter as well, so let me know your user name in the comment section below!
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”
Yup, it smells like your grandmother, but it’s been around since 1935 for a reason!
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.
Whenever I find something (or someone) new that I love, I want to share it.
My sister recently recommended Marnie Goldberg’s YouTube channel to me. I have been binge watching her videos. Check out her channel by clicking HERE.
I love that she is a little older, so her recommendations are more applicable to me than someone who is closer to their 20’s. She also has a large senior Weimaraner named Bosley that has a great personality. Her videos are great! Go check her out!
If you would like, checkout her blog by clicking HERE. Here is the link to her Instagram account Msgoldgirl.
You guys! You may remember that I love Candice from Fancy that With Candice! She is so sweet and excited about makeup. I have mentioned her here on Looking Joli Good before, but I especially like this video of hers and wanted to share it.
Hope you find it helpful if you are just starting out in makeup. If not, there are still a lot of great products mentioned in this video.
My muscles have been so tight and sore lately that I actually thought that I had injured myself! Sometimes you just need a good stretch! This Short and Sweet Stretch from Jessica Smith only takes 15 minutes and it is perfect for stretching out those tired tight muscles!
I love to watch beauty videos on YouTube. I love to see the products and makeup recommendations. I am always looking for new YouTubers to watch. Here are some of my recommendations of my favorite Youtubers to check out and subscribe to.
This girl is not only a natural beauty, she is real and super funny. She tells it like it is and gives great product reviews, all while being entertaining. I especially love her “Woops and Womps” videos. She refers to herself as a brown biscuit. Her make up is always perfect and she is so funny!
Another YouTuber you’ve got to check out is Rachel from RachhLoves. She is another funny one. I love all the little extra graphics she adds into her videos. Some of my favorite videos that she does are her follow ups after a haul. It is great to see what she thinks about the products after she has used them for a few weeks. She also does some great “Lazy Girl Guide” videos.
You have got to check out Jessica Braun from jambeauty89 She is so cute and has the sweetest personality! I love to watch her videos because she gets so excited over the smallest things. While she doesn’t do tutorials or get ready with me videos, she does do a lot of drugstore product reviews. She just recently got married and she and her husband Tyler are so cute.
Leigh Ann from Leighannsays is another favorite of mine. The perfect word to describe her is quirky. She is another funny natural beauty. She recently moved to a new place and adopted a little three legged dog named Luna. She does a lot of make up tutorials, hair tutorials, make up reviews, fashion hauls. She has the same type of stick straight eyelashes that I do, so I know that I can trust her mascara recommendations.
I hope that you check out these YouTubers. Also clickHEREto read my first post about Beauty YouTubers for my 3 top favorites…Tati, Melissa, andCandice.
You have got to go check out Meg O. on the GoShe has so many great posts! I especially love this one aboutSplurge vs Steal.

Who doesn’t love a great dupe?!

My absolute favorite YouTuber is Tati Westbrook of Glam Life Guru. She is not only absolutely beautiful, but she also makes the most well made and professional make up videos. If you don’t already follow her, you definitely need to check her out! I have no idea how she doesn’t have over a million viewers! Her videos are seriously amazing.
You have got to check out Candice from Fancy That With Candice! She is so cute and has the sweetest personality! I love to watch her videos because she gets so excited over the smallest things. Her videos are so well made and enjoyable to watch.
Melissa Autry of Melmphs! Oh my goodness, she is so funny!!! I seriously crack up at her videos. She tells it like it is and gives great product reviews all while being entertaining and hilarious. She is from Tennessee and her accent and personality are great! You have got to watch her videos, you will be smiling the entire time! “Are you ready for the weekend, Baby?” (watch her and you will know exactly what I mean by that 😉 ) Be sure to give me some of your favorites as well!
