Youtube Made Me Buy It

I'm  probably a little bit late on the bandwagon with this post, but I love both reading and watching these types of posts/ videos so I thought it would be fun to do my own. You may have seen on YouTube quite a while ago that there was a type of 'tag' called "YouTube Made Me Buy It" which is where you talk through all the makeup products that you have bought because of youtubers or bloggers and say whether they are good and worth the money!!

I thought I would do this tag as well as there are defintley quite a few products that I have bought because of youtubers and bloggers and I'll also tell you my honest opinion about them as well!

MAC Lipsticks // £15.00
First up is no surprise and that is MAC lipsticks, quite a few years ago now MAC was an extremely popular brand for youtubers to buy from and I still remember the excitement I had the day I picked up my first ever MAC lipstick. The lipsticks themselves are really good quality and are super pigmented and not drying on the lips at all.

Even though they are pretty expensive for a lipstick they are totally worth it and I would defintley recommend them. In case you were wondering my favourite shades are: Velvet Teddy, Lovelorn, Crème Cup, Pink Plaid and Angel.

 

Overall I would defintley say that MAC lipsticks are defintley worth the hype!!

 

 Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette // £38.50

Next up is a palette that I'm obsessed with! I've had my Naked 2 palette for over two years now and it's still going strong!! Most of the shades included in the palette are right up my street and extremely wearable. The pigmentation is amazing and the shadows are super easy to blend. Even though this palette is a lot of money I would defintley recommend it, if you like warm neutral shades. There are so many different looks that you can create with this palette and the eyeshadows last a long time before they eventually hit pan!

 

Overall Naked 2 is so worth the hype!!

 

Maybelline Dream Pure BB Cream // £6.99

Moving onto a product that I'm not such a fan of, I bought this BB Cream quite a while ago now and if I'm being totally honest I wore it once. The first time I wore this BB Cream I was obsessed and I thought it looked really nice on my skin, but for some reason it started to go really orange on my skin and began to look cakey. I immediately stopped using this and i was so gutted because the amount of people that had raved about it was ridiculous but I guess it's not the right product for me! I really wouldn't recommend picking this up if you have pale skin like me as I used the lightest shade and it still looked orange!

 

I defintley don't recommend this product and it's not worth the hype at all!

 

Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer // £4.19

Another product that I have a love-hate relationship with is the Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer. I bought this after so many youtubers raved about it, including Zoella and Floral Princess. Unlike the BB Cream I managed to use this for so long that it eventually started running out but my mum kept on telling me after quite a while of wearing it that it looked very yellow on my skin and because I used it under my eyes the yellow tone was very visible.

 

Other than the colour, I loved this concealer it didn't look cakey and highlighted my under eyes really well, it was just the colouring that let it down, even though I picked up the lightest shade.

 

I do think this concealer is sort of worth the hype, you just have to be careful with the shades

 

Kylie Lip Kits // £23.00

The final product that I'm going to talk about today is the very well-known Kylie Lip Kits. I was actually lucky enough to receive a Kylie Lip Kit for Christmas, but I still thought I'd include it in this post as even though I didn't buy it myself i still asked for it. Anyways if you haven't tried one of Kylie's lip products then I would 100% recommend them! The pigmentation of both the lip liner and the matte liquid lipstick is amazing and they both stay on my lips for a super long time even when I eat and drink!

This is probably the one product out of this whole post that I recommend over literally any other makeup item at the moment, they are so worth the hype!!

 

So those are some of the products that YouTube made me buy, I'll defitnley be doing a part two to this as I really enjoyed writing it and I hope you all enjoyed reading it!!
