My YouTube Channel Recommendations

Hey Everyone,


This post is going to be me talking about the different YouTube beauty gurus that I enjoy watching and a blurb about why I enjoy them. I will also be putting their channel links as their YouTube names so you can click on the link to check them out. Their names will be in bold in purple and some videos I wanted to share with you will be in pink. I suggest you check the channels out if I haven't put a link to a video within the blurb :)

I find all of these ladies to be entertaining and they all have individual personalities. They all also have different things that they do related to beauty, fashion, and some even have DIY projects that are pretty easy to do or achieve. These ladies give me inspiration to recreate their looks or tweak it to my own liking. They give great tips and reviews on different beauty products that are both high end and drugstore brands, which I can appreciate since I like to "ball on a budget".


You ready? You sure?! OKAY. Let's get started!


Akaydoll has her own unique style. Kayla has makeup looks that are simple, yet make a statement and has some natural looks as well which I like! I LOVE her eye brow tutorial the most! It's fab! Click here to watch her brow tutorial! I also like how her looks are wearable which appeals to me. She has great reviews on handbags and products as well which I enjoy.

BeautybyBrandi92 is a girl from Hawai'i who loves makeup. We actually went to the same high school, so I know her. She is a freelance/self-taught makeup artist and has great makeup tutorials and has some reviews as well. Brandi is down to earth and has a passion for makeup. She's just starting out, but she has a lot to offer. Click here to watch my favorite tutorial!

Bredazzled is an angelic and semi-hyper YouTuber who likes things that have lots of bright colors and glitter. I love my fair share of glittery items, but she is the queen of glitter. She is also really goofy and silly. Breland is really great at making her videos animated and interesting instead of just watching her sit there and show you products or give a tutorial, she makes it entertaining. I watch her to gain inspiration on how I could make videos interesting if I were to start my own YouTube channel as well as how to create makeup or fashion looks. 

Cutepolish is someone that I watch to keep up with the latest in nail trends and what the newest look is that I can achieve at home. Also, in nail care too. I find myself always checking out her channel to see what I can do to treat my nails or give them an extra boost. I rarely go to the nail salon and don't really find a need to because I can achieve almost any look myself at home. She has some really cute designs and also finds creative ways in achieving them. You will most likely find at least one video that you are going to try and copy, I garuntee it! 

Emilynoel83 is a YouTuber who makes you feel as if you are talking to your best friend or someone who you seek for trusted advice on beauty and makeup. Emily is such an amazing woman and is soo down to earth it is ridiculous. I love how she just gives off a good energy and doens't make you feel like you need to be an expert to have makeup or do makeup. I value her reviews and love that she loves to try all kinds of different products related to beauty. I absolutely love her and she is one of my favorite YouTubers. 

Farahdhukai is a channel I discovered while on a quest to hunt for natural DIY beauty tutorials. Farah has found lots of natural and organic ways in treating your skin, hair, and body. I love how I can find most of these items in either a grocery store or drug store and be able to make it at home with hardly any hassles. Some tips that she gives may be common sense, but they are nice reminders in how simple and easy it is to take care of ourselves while making ourselves look and feel a little bit more beautiful each day. Check this out!

Grav3yardgirl is a one of a kind person that you rarely meet. Bunny is the queen of thirft shopping, ice tea, as seen on tv product reviews, anything spooky or creepy and enjoys some interesting things in life. I find her to be unique in many ways, espcially in terms of style, and I commend her for always staying true to herself. Bunny has some great reviews and is pretty funny. Some may find her to be a bit overbearing or "too much", but I like that about her. I like how she has never changed since I have been watching her, which is almost a year now, and that she is not afraid to be herself. She reassures me that if I were to start a YouTube channel that it doesn't matter who you are or what you are, just be comfortable with it and don't change for no one. 

Itsjudytime is someone who I have been watching for a few years now and love her reviews on products. I've watched her get married, have a baby, and now pregnant with twins and she hasn't changed a bit! Judy is famous for her "first impressions" videos and that's what drew me to her channel. I really enjoy watching her videos and really value her opinion in drugstore products. Judy just recently came out with an eyeshadow pallet with BH Cosmetics and it looks amazing. It radiates Judy. It has lots of neutrals as well as a pop of color that are either shimmers or mattes. Click here to view the swatches of her pallet!

Julie G is another YouTuber that I have been watching for a long time now. I love watching her for her eyeshadow tutorials. She does some amazing tutorials that are anywhere from being flirty and girly to bold and daring. Julie has her own nail polish collection through Jessies Girl Cosmetics and can be found on their website. Click here to view her nail polish collection!

Lisa Pullano is a person I like to watch if I want to know how to make my own lotion, soap, perfume, home decor, inspiration for gift ideas or learn how to do different DIY projects. Lisa also has a great sense of fashion as well, but I find myself always looking out for her next DIY tutorial. I highly recommend her if you are searching for something to recreate at home or 

Melissa Raymond has got to be one of my favorites on YouTube. I just recently found her about two weeks ago while searching for MAC dupes and dupes in general for high end makeup products. Click this link to view MAC Lipstick Dupes video! It seems that she likes to purchase more drugstore products which I really like since that is mostly what I buy. She is extremely hilarious and is outspoken as well. I haven't watched all of her videos, but I will save that for a rainy day or when I have all the time in the world to do so because I absolutely love her! 

MissJenFABULOUS is a great YouTuber to watch if you are looking to do something new to your nails or are looking to try out a nail polish. She has some great swatches and reviews on nail polish as well as nail art tutorials that beginners can do as well. I love to watch her based on that reason and I have even tried out some of her looks or they have inspired me to create my own. She also has some great haul videos and makeup tutorials as well. 

Mrslolalynn is also a channel that I recently discovered. I really like the reviews that she gives on various beauty products. She has some great dupes for some MAC lipsticks (that's how I found her). Click this to view her MAC Lipsticks Dupes video! I am considering going out and purchasing some of her dupes that she has found because I cannot afford to invest $15-$20 on MAC all the time or even at all. LOL. 

Nitraa B is hilarious and is yet another one that makes me feel that I am having a conversation with a good friend of mine. Nitraa has some great tutorials on makeup looks and does some great hauls where she finds some deals! Check out this tutorial! She is a true diva and knows how to work it out! I also love watching videos where she features her now husband, Colton. They are absolutely adorable together and reassure me that there is true love out there in this world.  

Saaammage is someone that I have also been watching for a while now and appreciate her reviews on products. She helps me in making the decision to purchase an item or bypass it. Come to find out, we're the same shade and have similar skin types. I finally found someone that I can actually trust their advice 100% because we have similar skin color and type. I find it rare since my skin has a yellow undertone and I can't really match it all the time based on that. Check out one of her reviews!

ThatsHeart is the epitome of sweetheart! She is soo sweet and I love how she is genuinely a nice girl! She has a cute sense of style and has makeup looks that I could wear if I wanted to just add a dash of daring or a pop of color to my looks. Also, she just came out with a makeup pallet with BH Cosmetics. I would totally purchase it and I'm going to wait til the hype dies down to ensure that I can get my hands on one of her pallets. Check out her pallet here!

TymetheInfamous is one fierce mama! She has very bold and dramatic makeup looks that may not be for everyone. I personally, do not have the courage to wear most of her looks, but I love them regardless! I love her video on her eye brow routine and ombre red lips. It is by far, one of my favorite videos from her and a look that I can be easily worn. Click here to watch it!


I hope that you will enjoy these ladies as much as I do and let me know what you think in the comment section below!



Thanks for taking the time to read this and I'll catch you guys soon!

Welcome!

Hey Everyone!


Welcome to my Blog! I will be posting random things about beauty, fashion, reviews on products, life, and anything that I find interesting to share with you! 

Iʻm just a Hawaiʻi girl who is going out on a limb to start a blog and put myself out there. I am no where near a professional or expert. I learned most of what I know through my own personal experiences and watching others on YouTube. We all start somewhere and why not start here?!

To be honest, yes, there will be people out there that arenʻt going to like me and make rude/hurtful comments, but it comes with the territory. I of course, will be affected by these things at times, but I will always remember the positive and not the negative. It takes more energy to power evil than it does with good. 

So please everyone, bare with me. I am going to make mistakes. Iʻm not perfect nor is anyone else on this Earth for that matter. 

I hope that you will enjoy my blog and find some common interests here. I look forward into meeting you through my blog and/or YouTube channel! Thank you for taking the time to read this and letʻs get this party started!
