The Beauty Journal

I always wanted to write this post, just to introduce these two awesome Brits to you. Now in case you don’t know, I have a very long list of beauty gurus that I subscribe to and watch on a daily basis. However the list changes all the time: There are channels I unsubscribed, or re-subscribed, videos I deleted from my subscription box before I even watch them… But whenever I see videos from these two channels come up in my subscription, I always make sure I give them 100% attention.

I have subscribed to them for almost two years, never once was I disappointed with their videos. They are both from Great Britain, but specialize on different topics of beauty videos.

Richie Nickel, is a very stylish beauty guru, his channel What Style Is To Nickel is absolutely addictive.

This is just one of my many favorite videos from him. Richie is a huge MAC fan (and who isn’t at a certain level?). If you want beauty 101 advice from a MACaholic, or you just want to be inspired, go subscribe to his channel. I have to say, I am inspired by him in a lot of ways, and it is not only beauty-related I am talking about. Richie definitely knows his way in fashion, and has his unique taste in accessorizing. Besides all the make up/skin care review/haul/tutorial videos, he also has miscellaneous videos on fashion trends, and YouTube popular themed videos like what’s in my purse, what’s in my closet…etc.  Go check his channel out, I am sure you will fall in love with this beautiful guru for reasons more than his flawless makeup. It is the Nickel style that will capture your heart (and make you want to go back to his channel again and again).

Laura, another Brit, now residing in Dubai, has this wonderful beauty review channel Lollipop26

Unlike Richie, Laura uploads mostly product review videos. Knowing these days on YouTube beauty gurus are sponsored by numerous cosmetic companies to do endorsement videos, everyone has become more suspicious than before. When watching a YouTube video, I can’t help asking myself if the product the guru holds is another sponsored ad?  However with Lollipop26′s videos, I don’t have doubts. I have been watching her for so long and she always seems very genuine,honest and approachable. I have tried many products recommended by her and I am very happy with her recommendations. Laura embodies everything charming of a British girl, not to mention the English accent (I am a big sucker for English accent…I wish I speak with an English accent.), she is very lady-like, classy, and well-spoken. Her video style is more relaxed and casual. I personally detest all those staged and artificial videos on YouTube, I believe the best videos come from people whose opinions are not influenced by the environment. The reason Laura’s videos are so poplar on YouTube is because her opinions are the most original.
