Best Beauty Bloggers/youtubers

It's no secret that I am sightly obsessed with reading through blogs and watching the newest uploads from my youtube subscriptions. 

I wanted to make this post to share with you some of my favourite beauty bloggers/youtubers, as I often get stuck watching the same people, waiting for them to upload rather than finding others.

Zoella
My all time favourite... youtube - https://www.youtube.com/user/zoella280390 .. Blog - http://www.zoella.co.uk/ Zoe currently has 4,724,966 subscribers, making her one of the biggest beauty bloggers around.



The reason she is my favourtie is because she was the first youtubers I subscribed to. I was looking to find an easy way to do a messy bun and Zoe had a tutorial for it.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UuvrdHA0lzg this is the original one that I watched, but she has uploaded a more recent one. I enjoy watching Zoe because she's honest and I know I can trust a review from her. I also like how much I feel I can relate to her. I love Zoe's fashion and am always getting outfit ideas from her.

Tanya Burr

youtube.. https://www.youtube.com/user/pixi2woo blog.. http://www.tanyaburr.co.uk/ Tanya currently has 2,106,448 subsribers and is very good friends with Zoe, they often do collaborations and vlog together.


Tanya is the person I go to if I want ideas for makeup looks as her main thing is makeup tutorials. Tanya has such a sweet personality and (without trying to sound mean) a little bit dim.. Which is one of the reasons I love watching her. I like her blog posts recently as she has been going to quite a few red carpet events, which means I can gaze at her outfits and if I want, buy them as she always says where she brought the item.
 from.

Sam Scheurman

youtube.. https://www.youtube.com/user/samanthaschuerman blog.. http://www.samschuerman.com/ Sam currently has 166,356 subscribers.


I love Sam's voice.. sounds weird but it's just kind of soothing. I go to Sam if I'm looking for quite a relaxed video, she does great reviews and makeup looks. I like how casual and chatty her videos are, like most youtubers edit out the unimportant bits, but Sam will leave them in, which I love. Also, her eye colour is fabulous. As well as having a beauty channel, Same also daily vlogs, so you get to know her and her family which is nice.

itsjudytime

youtube.. https://www.youtube.com/user/itsjudytime  blog..  http://itsjudytime.blogspot.co.uk/ Judy currently has 1,034,929 subscribers


Judy vlogs her life every single day.. and I watch them.. every single day.. But as well as this, Judy has her beauty channel which I will always go to if I'm looking for a review. I especially like her foundation reviews as she has done a huge range and goes very in depth with each review. Judy has also had the oppertunity to create her own make up palette with bh cosmetics.
I hope this gave you some ideas as to who you might enjoy watching or reading about :)

Top 5 Spring Lipsticks/Lipglosses

Hey there :). Another review type majiggy today :) 
Here are my top 5 lipsticks for Spring.
I have included lip products that work with my skin tone (pale with yellow undertones), so these may not work for you, but I love them :). These are the lip products that I reach for during the warmer months.. Not that we get many of them in the UK.. For the spring and summer I like to use kind of dull pinks, as bright pinks/corals scare me quite a lot. Of course I have included my favourite red and nudey colour for spring.
They mainly consist of drugstore products, with one Mac lipstick. Prices etc are listed below :)


This is the Bourjois Effect 3D in Rose Hypothetic 5, retailing at £7.99. This a pretty pink gloss, with silver shimmer running through it. I love the formula, doesn't feel sticky, but best wear your hair up on a windy day because it will stick to your lips.. but hey these are my spring/summer favourites.. what wind?

Here is the Soap & Glory Sexy Mother Pucker XL Lip Plump at £10, in Very Berry . Maaann does this make your lips tingle. It goes on for about half an hour-an hour, if your chatting, it lasts half an hour, if not an hour. I love the colour of this, it's kind of a dull pink, close to my lip colour, with golden shimmer running through it. This gloss is not sticky at all.

My all time favourite! :) Rimmel London, Apocalips Lip Lacquer in Celestial 101, £6.49. I absoloutely love these Lip Lacquers. Everyone's heard of them. I love this particular one, as I find it looks the most natural with my skin. It's a very similar colour to the Soap & Glory one,with a bit more purpe, and less gold shimmer. Apocalips gives a sort of sheen to the lips, but not a gloss. Lacquers tend to be more pigmented than glosses. 

Mac Lipstick, in Snob £15, the most expensive of the 5. Baby pink/purple, could pass off as a nude on some people, but not me. This is on of my more out there shades. I won't wear it very often, but when I do my makeup in a way that suits this lip, it's my first pick. This lipstick is pigmented and creamy, I love how it feels moisturizing as you wear it.
Rimmel Kate Lipstick in 01, £5.49. The perfect, bright, orange toned lipstick. Perfect for making a statement. This Lipstick Lasts around 6 hours, pretty damn good if you ask me. I do also have the matte shade in 107, but that's my winter shade. This red is perfect for spring and summer as it's bright.
Left to right- Bourjois, Soap & Glory, Rimmel Apocalips, Mac, Rimmel Kate.

Hope this helped you find a new lip product for the warmer weather :). Please leave suggestions of a post I should do next.. 

Also, I have just started my GCSE exams so may be absent from blogging and youtube for a while :(, but I will try my best to stay involved :) Here is my youtube link to keep you occupied :) https://www.youtube.com/user/rosieblindell/feed I recently uploaded a top 10 under £10 makeup products video.

Disclaimer-I purchased all of these products with my own money.

Rocking Curves Mascara Review

Hey guys, I have decided to do a review twice a week, for a month on this blog. So that's 8 reviews all together. I'm starting with Rimmel Scandaleyes Rockin' Curves Mascara. If any of you are want me to review anything else, please comment down below :)


Price & Packaging

Rockin' Curves mascara retails for £6.99 in places like boots and Superdrug, but is often in offers with other products, which is when I purchased this product, Rimmel had a 2 for £9 offer in Superdrug. They're is also the option to get and extreme black version, which I haven't tried, for the same price. The packaging is kind of scary haha :P, its has a raised snake skin pattern on it and it's just black and red.. obviously.

Volume & Lengthening

For me, this mascara is quite good for both length and volume. However, the first time I used it, I found it hard to work with as it is quite wet, but after using it a few times it is a lot better. The images below show the mascara on, after just one layer. I love it because without mascara I have like no lashes, so this product works really well for me :) I would say this mascara gives a similar effect to the Benefit They're Real mascara.. Yes it's a big claim but true.



Lasting Power

I'll do my make-up in the morning around 10am on the weekends or 6.30 on a school day, and it will be exactly the same at around 8/9pm when I take my makeup off, as it was when I put it on. So it lasts 11+ hours, which is perfect. The images below are examples of how the mascara lasts throughout the day, not sure on exact time, but definitely a few hours after applying.



Wand

As you can see, the wand is curved (clue's in the name), this is the perfect shape to get every single eyelash, I feel like it makes it easier to control as well. The wand is bristles rather than plastic, which makes it grip to your lashes more. 



Overall, this is one of my favourite mascaras and I definitely recommend you try it out, I mean for £6.99 there's nothing to lose :P 

Again, please leave a comment requesting what review you would like to see next :)

We went into Truro to have some lunch and then decided to go for a wonder around Malpus Park and the little lake/pond that's there, again Izaak was getting annoyed with the amount of photographs I was taking :P.

For lunch I had a super yummy pasta with feta cheese and sun dried tomatoes :) best pasta I've had in my life! Then for a little desert we just brought some macaroons and cake from Tesco's. Again both were scrumptious :D.

'Non-Blogger' for a while :(

Hey guys, I haven't been very good at posting on here at the minute:(. I'm in my last year of Secondary school, so most of my focus is going on my exams, and the remaining time I have is spent making YouTube videos, or seeing friends, I don't want to make blogging sound less important, it's just that I find it easier making a video, so go check out my YouTube channel, http://www.youtube.com/user/rosieblindell , as that is where I will mostly be, up until my exams are over.

Onto exams, I imagine my coursework isn't as hard as some, because I chose creative subjects, art, media and the less creative, history. However, I have now realized how difficult it is to keep up with art coursework. Anyway I just wanted to wish anyone who is also nearing exams, I hope you get the grades you want! :) 

See you soon, Rosie xxx
