The video that I filmed earlier today is simply a Favourites video. As everyone I watch on YouTube tend to film 'Monthly Favourites' videos of any items and products that they have found and used and really liked in that month, I thought a similar video would be a good place to start for a first video. However, I am not calling it a 'Monthly Favourites' video due to the fact that all of the products that I chose to use this time round are products that I have had and have been using over a longer time period than just this month - products that I have had and been using for the past four or five months now - hence the chosen title of just simply 'Favourites' video.
I have decided to write a post for this blog in collaboration with any video that I post in the future, and so naturally this 'First Favourites' post is to collaborate with the video that I will hopefully later be able to upload after editing.
So for this video, I chose five products that I would class as a 'favourite' and I filmed myself talking about them and discussing what I liked about them and where they can be purchased, kind of like a short review. I only chose five items because I wanted to keep it relatively short just as it is my first video, but at the same time it allowed for a decent time of footage that isn't too much. I think I am naturally quite nervous and I think that this shows on the video, but as I get used to being in front of the camera I think I relax a little, at least it felt like I did. I am aware that it may take me a little bit of time to get comfortable in front of the camera but I know that if I stick to it and really commit myself to YouTube then I will get there eventually. So I am appreciative of any audience I have bearing with me, and understanding that I am just starting out, but I will get there!
So without any further adieu, and in no particular order, here are the five products featured in my video...
 |
| Lipsticks from the YSL Rouge Volupte and Rouge Volupte Shine ranges. These are my most favourite lipsticks ever and I don't think it is difficult to tell why. The packaging itself is just beautiful but not only that! The colours are just to die for and they are so easy to apply, so so creamy and they stay on your lips a very long time. It is rare that I have to re-apply with these lipsticks! |
 |
| Lipsticks by MAC I don't think I know any girl who has not heard of MAC and has not used a lipstick by MAC. I absolutely adore these lipsticks and they are what I would usually wear on an everyday basis, rather than something that I would treat myself to as the YSL lipsticks are. Definitely an everyday lip essential! |
 |
| Hydrating Macadamia Oil by Organix This is a hair product that I have been using over the past two or three months and I definitely could not be without this now. I apply a small amount after every wash to my hair and it leaves it feeling very soft and smelling great. It does not make my hair greasy like I have found Argan Oil does, so I am very pleased with this hair product and I do prefer it as a hair treatment over Argan Oil. |
 |
| They're Real Mascara by Benefit This mascara is one that was raved about by everyone and so it wasn't long before I caved and felt the need to try this product out for myself. Needless to say I definitely understand what all the rave was about and I agree with all the good things that everyone was saying about this product. It is definitely my favourite mascara and one of the best that is out there right now. Although not exactly pricey, but not exactly cheap either, I would say that this product is definitely worth the money. |
 |
| Three-Step Skin Clearing Treatment from The Body Shop I bought these three products in a set that was worth £18 but instead I paid £13 and I am so so glad that I got this. It has treated my skin and helped clear it massively and I would definitely recommend these to anyone who is worried about their skin and wants a cheap and affordable way to treat it. Before this I was using the Three-Step Anti-Blemish Kit by Clinique and although being very happy with their products, it is a little pricey and so these that are offered by The Body Shop are a much cheaper and more affordable option and I have found do just as good as job as the Clinique one. |
 |
| True Match Foundation by Loreal and the Repairwear Anti-Aging Foundation by Clinique I use both of these foundations on a regular basis - one being a more high end foundation than the other, but both of them I equally love. The True Match one by Loreal is one that I would use on a regular day to day basis and is very affordable with medium coverage, best used with a setting powder. The Repairwear Foundation by Clinique is a more expensive foundation with a fuller coverage and so is one that I would wear on nights out or if I know that I am going to be doing something that is going to impress someone, for example job interviews or even just for work. |
I do hope to be doing a lot more of both blogging and more videos in the near future and I am hoping that my channel really does take off.
