YouTube Beauty Vloggers to Watch

I love and am totally obsessed with watching beauty video's and beauty vloggers on YouTube. There is just something so wonderful and helpful about actually seeing someone apply the make-up right there in front of you! Plus the personal tips and tricks which they add in are fantastic whether you are a beginner or a profession.

So this is my list of my all time favorite YouTube Beauty Guru's!

1. Lauren Curtis!

A fellow Aussie, this blonde bombshell from Bondi is a profession but presents all her videos in a really relaxed style and focuses on the makeup rather than on herself which i really love! She currently has over 2 million subscribers and counting and is definitely worth your time particularly for her tips on foundation and blending eye shadows.

2. Missglamorazzi

MissGlamorazzi aka Ingrid Nilson is possibly the sweetest vlogger on YouTube! She is adorable and so genuine i love her to pieces! On top of that she also has a really funky but casual sense of style and has great recommendations for products for your whole body as well as the usual make-up and hair tutorials. Her beauty style is really natural and playful and is something that anyone can learn from when trying to create their own style. She also does really delicious food videos which are super healthy to boot!

3. Juicystar07

Juicystar07, otherwise known as Blair Fowler is a vlogger and model who has really fun videos on make up and wardrobe but i love her for her hair tutorials! This girl knows how to swing a curling iron! She can also show you what do do with hot rollers and a straightener. The best part about Blairs video's is her genuine character which shines through and really makes me believe that she cares about her subscribers.

4. Jaclyn Hill

Jaclyn Hill is another professional makeup artist and some of her most popular videos are really important and unique from most other beauty vloggers. My favorites are her video on brushes and how to contour. She is really detailed and instructions are incredibly clear and easy to follow.

5. Emma Pickles

Emma Pickles is a beautiful Brit whose striking makeup videos are show a huge range of styles including character makeup, off beat style and basic looks for everyday wear. Emma has really pale skin which is great as it gives a different perspective as most other beauty vloggers wear fake tan. I also LOVE her character make-ups, particularly the Disney inspired designs, definitely worth a look.

Beauty Product - Préférence Wild Ombrés - L'Oréal Paris



Hello Everyone!

So yesterday I decided that it was time to change my hair, I have had the same hair style for years now and it is overdue for a mix up so I decided to try out Préférence Wild Ombrés - L'Oréal Paris.

The pack I bought is for very dark hair and it comes with everything you need so i wont tell you how to apply it because you can get that information, if you choose to try this product, from the box.







So as you can see from the pictures... this product did NOT work! 
HOWEVER...
The applicator brush which comes with it is amazing for getting a really beautiful smooth transition from dark to light and for adding in highlights as you work the product up your hair. I left the product in for the full 45 minutes after i had finished applying and it took my over 10 minutes to apply so my ends should be white! but they are basically brown, which is sad...
Basically i would recomend you buy this just for the applicator brush but you are probably going to need to do a few applications if you have any hair-dye in your hair from previous treatments because to strip the colour is going to take a much stronger mix of bleach unfortunately.  
Good try L'Oreal, but not for me.

Pet Product - Tasty Bone

I LOVE this product! Basically the Tasty Bone a nylon 'bone' which makes it super durable but with flavor infused into it so it maintains their attention for longer than a regular chew toy. This bone is the ultimate dog boredom buster!

My biggest problem with regular chew toys for my dog is that, if he doesn't feel the accomplishment of tearing it to shreds within a few minutes, he gets bored! With the Tasty Bone, this doesn't happen! Plus its durable so he can go at it, hammer and tong, for (at this point) months without destroying it!

This toy keeps his brain stimulated and keeps him occupied for much longer than any other toy I have ever found. I cannot recommend this product highly enough!
