Should I Start a YouTube Channel?

Yo!

So, for years I have been watching Beauty channels on YouTube and knew that someday I would love to be able to create them for myself.

Here's some of my initial feelings when it came to wanting to start a channel...

- Talking to a camera is flippin' awkward! My respect for those who post videos on a regular basis has literally shot through the roof. I am constantly worrying that next door can hear me speaking to myself and they'll think I've turned into a lunatic... I've had a few test runs and I'm starting to become a little bit more comfortable in front of the camera.
 

- I used to worry that people from my school/work would see them and take the p*ss... but now I've realised that is kind of inevitable and it's gonna happen so I may as well just deal with it.

- I worry that nobody will want to watch my videos and find them boring... but then I thought, if I just make videos which I know I'd enjoy I'm sure somebody out there would want to watch mine? And as my blog has almost 500 views there must be some people out there willing to watch them.

Here's some "outtakes" from a samples reviewing video which I attempted to create which didn't go to plan as you can probably tell:





If anybody is actually reading this and think me starting my own channel would be a good idea please leave a comment :) I know it seems ridiculous that I've put so much thought into it and not just gone for it but I would really appreciate other people's opinion.

Thank you!

Skincare Routine

Image
Starting with the morning, as I tend to not wear foundation in the daytime, but need other products such as my concealer to blend onto my skin nicely, I make sure I always use a moisturiser with an SPF of at least 30, regardless of the time of year. This is important when using the Alpha H Liquid Gold, as the active ingredients make skin much more sensitive to any rays and more likely to contract sunburn. The moisturiser I opt for is Elizabeth Arden's Flawless Future Moisture Cream which I find very lightweight and soothing on the skin. Throughout the day if my lips feel dry I apply the Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream Skin Protectant to them, as learnt from Gabbie Lindley from VelvetGh0st, which makes lips feel moisturised and have a nice sheen to them. If I'm heading out in the evening and want to wear a drying, matte lipstick I will feel like they are primed and smooth enough to do so. I sometimes pop this on my brows too to keep them in place as my friend Georgi

REVIEW! Mane N Tail The Original Shampoo and Conditioner

Image
  As I tend to rave to everyone and their dog about this line of haircare I thought I would compile my thoughts in a blog post (after two years of no posting – oops!).  I first heard about Mane N Tail from Cosmetics Charlotte on YouTube (Now called CharlottesChance). I immediately ordered the “original” shampoo and conditioner from Amazon to see the results for myself.   From the first wash I was hooked; my hair has never felt so soft and manageable; my unruly curly hair became much easier to style, whether I left it to dry naturally or used a hairdryer. I try to make sure that I don’t use them more than once a week as I am worried that my hair will get used to them and I often take breaks between repurchasing them as I know once I use it in my hair again, I will feel the effects more intensely. The added benefit is definitely the hair growth – if you’re in the market for a product to do this them make sure you purchase a set as I have tried many products claiming to stimulate

Christmas Wishlist!

Dear Santa… Pixi Glow Tonic 250ml £18 http://www.marksandspencer.com/glow-tonic-250ml/p/p22424632?&pdpredirect Who doesn’t need an extra glow in this awful weather? I have heard raving reviews about this cult product but for some reason I’ve never picked a bottle up, although they handily stock the Pixi range in Marks and Spencer in the UK. They also sell a cute giftable 100ml for £10 in their Christmas range. (If you’re quick and spend over £35 you may also be eligible to get their advent calendar for £35 too! So total spend is £70 to pick one up, and they are worth over £200) Kate Spade One in a Million “J” Necklace £50 http://www.selfridges.com/GB/en/cat/kate-spade-new-york-one-in-a-million-j-12ct-gold-plated-pendant_133-3003424-WBRU7652/ I love this dainty necklace from Kate Spade and its personal touch of having an initial in the middle as this will look lovely with lower cut necklines on tops and dresses, and if you want to go all High School Musical
