YouTube Ruined My Life: EmilyNoel83

I thought that today I would talk a little bit about another YouTuber I am a big fan of. The name of her channel is EmilyNoel83 and she is a "beauty guru". I used to be all about watching beauty videos on YouTube until every single person that I was subscribed to was making mainly sponsored videos.

I am fine with sponsored videos, I am fine with people being sent stuff for free but if you only do videos you get paid for (aside from google partnership) you're not being very helpful. I've been subscribed to "gurus" who in one video raved about a product and said that they would use it all the time but then they never used said product again. If you're telling girls that they definitely should buy this or that but you yourself never use it, you are obviously saying that only for the money.

EmilyNoel83 is not one of those gurus. She is older than most gurus, which is nice because she's had a lot of experience with make up and even life. (She's under 30 I believe so don't think that older means OLDER) However, this does not mean that she cannot appeal to younger girls, she does. I think even more so than many younger gurus because she is not obsessed with expensive brands of make up. She uses all kinds of make up, from $1/ piece E.L.F, to higher end Urban Decay or Too Faced or MAC. So she can help a girl/woman find a nice make-up look on a budget or teach her how to do a more unique look with products from more expensive brands.

Her tutorials are not only very easy to follow but they are also very eloquent and interesting thanks to the fact that she is a news anchor and was clearly born to be one. She posts videos quite regularly and has unique ideas for them.

My favorite things about EmilyNoel83:

#1. She uses inexpensive and expensive makeup, and she reviews both fairly

#2. She does not accept payment for reviews or making specific videos (she does get sent free stuff and she always mentions if she got something for free)

#3. Her make-up looks, reviews and advice videos are unique and not recycled over and over.

I want to get naked!

What's in my purse?

Who cares? Why?

I do not know the answer to that question but I do know that I absolutely love watching those videos. I can spend hours watching some ditsy girl take out her hair brush and phone out of her purse and give me more information about those items than I would ever need or care for. Sadly, I have seen so many of those videos that the only ones left are hosted by over-made up-Maxim-model-wannabes with no soul or personality or little 13 year old that like totally doesn't remember where she like got that bobby pin from or like has like this totally cool story that she remembered when she saw one of the items in her purse but like she can't tell it because it was like totally one of those you had to be there moments but it was really funny.

Recently, when I was searching for some of these peculiarly interesting videos I noticed that about half of the results had thumbnails with girls looking into space. This made me happy. Sure you can have thousands of people watch you unpack the contents of your purse, but can carry a thought without having to strenuously think about the correct word every five seconds? No? of course you can't, you have a cute purse, lots of make up and rich parents why would you even need to learn more than a hundred words in your lifetime? That's like totally umm...*looks into space*...unnecessary!
