Fed up with YouTube beauty bloggers

Bit fed up now with the brightly ring-lighted beauty blogger crowd. If they are not pushing yet another huge pallette of expensive shades (when we all know you end up just using the taupe/brown ones) they all finish with a ginger face in the name of bronzer. The harsh light of day makes you look like you have smeared your face with Bisto.
This might not be popular but I have to mention Pixiwoo the brush floggers. How many more brushes does a person need in a lifetime? but it has allowed one of them to buy a huge loft conversion. Well done you might say but their hard sell of yet another cheap brush that they have made up a problem for is grating. Considering the influence thay have over the young who must have the latest product It all adds up. Don't get me wrong I watch certain bloggers but I am now fed up with the phrase 'I bought this myself' trying to convince us they haven't been paid to review product after product
I would also be wary when buying lipsticks etc when you see it on screen as I mentioned they are so whited out by their ring-lights that nothing is the true colour or texture.

They all owe the lovely Lauren Luke with her few Mac eyeshadows a bit of a heads up don't you think?

I have zero interest in make-up and hardly ever wear it but I have to admit being intrigued by the YouTuber Shane Dawson's series on makeup guru Jeffree Starr my dd is making me watch. It's a strange world and the money involved is huge.

Don't watch the feckers then!

If you, and enough people, don’t watch them they’ll go away

Watch stuff you enjoy and that will stay
