MORE Subscribe-Worthy YouTube Channels (Beauty, Life, Health, & Cooking)



1. Vivianna Does Makeup (Anna Gardner)

What can I say about Anna?  I love love LOVE watching her videos.  Her cute and cheery personality (and adorable British accent) pulled me in within the first few moments of the first video I watched.  I think I remember saying "Wow, I like her..."  and before I was finished with the first video, I think I had to pause it and click subscribe before finishing it.  She is just so humble and makes her videos fun while still keeping it professional. (I don't know about anyone else, but I can't stand sometimes when these beauty vloggers get too silly and start using weird voices and poking fun at themselves every 10 seconds - Anna is nothing like that).  Such a delight, seriously.  She mainly focuses her videos around makeup and fashion, but has recently started doing weekly vlog videos about her daily life, which I really enjoy.  Please check her out immediately, you'll really be glad you did.




I found Kayley while searching for hair styling videos geared toward fine hair.  This chick is a hair genius.  She has so many great hair styling tips and tricks.  I have already learned so much from her, and I've only been subscribed a few weeks,  I don't know how she keeps coming up with stuff!  If you're looking for hair help, Kayley is your girl.



3. A Fab Life  (Leah Ashley and Mary Darling)

Leah and Mary are any Pinterester's dream team.  They come up with the most creative and budget-friendly ideas for decor and fashion.  Their videos are just plain FUN!  Their goal is to help us all have A Fab Life on a budget.  If you love Pinterest, you will adore these two.  That's all I have to say about that.



4. EssieButton (Estée)

I just discovered Estée today actually, and was hooked from the start.  She's a Canadian gal who packed up and moved to the UK with her boyfriend.  Although I haven't had chance to watch a lot of her videos yet, I gather she's mainly a beauty vlogger.  She definitely puts it out there that she is not a professional makeup artist, but she gives good advice and just tells you what works for her.   I think she has just the right amount of silly and serious for my taste.  Again, I subscribed after watching just one video.  I look forward to watching her more in the near future.



5. Pixiwoo (Samantha Chapman and Nic Haste)

Sisters and makeup artists Sam & Nic offer really educational makeup tutorials and advice.  Their videos are fun and I really like the dynamic between them.




Alex focuses her videos on hair, makeup, and fashion.  She has a really nice mix of the three, but I have really enjoyed several of her hair tutorials.  Who wouldn't want that hair, I mean, seriously....




Lisa is a professional makeup artist (to the stars, I might add).  It's really amazing to have an inside look at a professional makeup artists tip and tricks.  She has often featured tutorials on red carpet makeup looks she has done on several Hollywood leading ladies, SO cool.  I think my favorite video of hers was the one she did on how Marilyn Monroe achieved her iconic look.  So, so interesting.  Here's the link if you'd like to watch it.  Excuse me while I watch it again.....



8. Laura in the Kitchen (Laura Vitale)

I discovered Laura one day when I was searching for a recipe to make for my boyfriend.  I ended up glued to my computer screen while watching her beef burgundy video.  After watching her make it, I had to try making it.  Although it was my first time cooking beef (excluding ground beef), it turned out pretty well!  I have since kept my eye out for her videos, and have caught some really tasty-looking recipes.  Her videos are styled just like your average cooking show.  She's very professional and instructional, and makes you want to jump in the kitchen and try out whatever she's cooking up.  She's definitely worth a watch.



9.  Fully Raw Kristina (Kristina Carrillo-Bucaram)

Kristina is a raw food enthusiast.  She went fully raw and vegan years ago to help treat some medical problems and low weight issues.  Her health has since dramatically turned around and she is now sharing her story to the world about the joys and benefits of living the fully raw lifestyle.  Although I am not following the raw or vegan lifestyle, I enjoy most of her videos.  They offer up many different healthy alternatives to mainstream foods.  It amazes me sometimes how she can take something like apple pie, for instance, and make it completely from raw ingredients (that means no flour, sugar, eggs, artificial flavors, etc).  She often shares great juicing recipes, as well as some very tasty smoothie recipes.  Check her out, if you're raw or not!
