Beauty Product Tag: Youtube Made Me Do It

Some of  my favourite products (even holy grail products), have been discovered through watching makeup gurus on youtube.

When you see rave after rave about a product, you just can't help but get a bit curious...

So, being a makeup addict, I run out and buy. Sometimes I get seriously disappointed (see my Don't Believe The Hype post), other times it can be a product that I have loved from day one.

I don't think my makeup collection would be as big, or as beautiful, if it had not been for the gurus on youtube... So I thank you :)

MAC Lipstick in Angel

I first heard about this from the famous Elle or AllThatGlitters21.

It was her favourite lipstick (this is going back a few years now), and I was so intrigued by her 'kind words' that I got it too. And I am very happy I did. Angel is a beautiful wearable pink. A staple in my collection.

Too Faced Beauty Balm

Again, this was bought based on a video made by Elle and lollipop26.

They both loved this, and now I do too! 

It is the kind of product that I would never have discovered if it was not for youtube.

MAC Mineralize Blush

This is Dainty and Love Rock - two absolutely stunning blushes.

Elle did a tutorial (a vampire one if I remember correctly) using Dainty, and I was sold. Through Dainty I discovered the other mineralized blushes, and now I am the happy owner of 7 of them :)

MAC Paint Pots

I never knew that these could be used as eyeshadow bases! I just had one sitting in my makeup drawer rarely being used. Then came along a youtube guru (can't remember which one) and brought new life to my dear Bare Study ♥

Urban Decay Primer Potion

Another product that I probably wouldn't have known about of it wasn't for youtube.

Makes the eyeshadow last all day - perfection.

Ecotools brushes

I first heard about these brushes from michele1218.

She mentioned how soft they were, much softer than MAC brushes, which got me curious. I found these a few months later in Tesco, and she was right.!They are super soft and now my new favourite brushes.

Urban Decay 24/7 liners

A lof of gurus rave about these amazingly soft liners. They are all right, of course :)

Benefit Thrrrob blush and Boiing concealer

Benefit have some great products, and having tried my fair share of them (with both failure and success), I have found some wonderful holy grail makeup that I always keep in my makeup bag.

Both being used in makeup tutorials on youtube, these two caught my attention early on. Thrrrob is a gorgeous pale pink blush & Boiing is a seriously solid concealer.

Soap & Glory

It's not just makeup products that I have discovered on youtube. Soap & Glory has been mentioned a few times too. I eventually decided to check out some of their produts...and fell in love, like so many others.

Lush Bubblebars

Everybody deserves to know the luxury of a lush product. The pampering and soothing effect goes beyong any bath product I have ever tried before.

I think almost all of the makeup gurus on youtube have mentioned Lush at some point. I'm sure they have made Lush a lot of money ;)

What have you discovered through youtube?

Bathos to the rescue!

This bubblebar from LUSH is my absolute favourite bath product!

I think I have mentioned this before in a Monthly Favourites post, but I really can't say enough about this little miracle soap :)

When I have had a long day in work or a busy saturday out and about, my back and shoulders can get really stiff and sore, my legs can ache and my head feel tired.

The remedy - a warm, purple bath that smells like violets, jasmine and ylang ylang!

This sooths my aching body and heals my tired head. The smell is, in my opinion, LUSH's best! It is so clean and fresh - perfect for a calming bath.

I would never use this before a night out (for that I would use something like Creamy Candy Bath or Sunny Side), this is strictly for pampering and relaxation.

I call this my 'sunday soap', because I always have a nice long Bathos bath on sunday night, sort of in preparation for the upcoming week. I use half a bar at a time, which makes loads of bubbles and makes the water soft and creamy. The smell lingers on my skin for many hours & I instantly feel ready to face tomorrow :)

Has anybody else got a soft spot for Bathos?
