Makeup Collection Videos: Why I’m so Addicted

I think it’s safe to say that I’m a makeup and nail polish addict.  And if you’ve been following my blog or YouTube videos for any amount of time, then this is absolutely no surprise to you.

I obviously love watching people’s makeup video’s on YouTube, but my absolute favorite types of videos to watch are Makeup Collection videos.  This may be a huge surprise to people because a lot of people consider these types of videos to be conceited and just people bragging about how rich and fabulous they are.  But I look at them as people sharing their organization tips.  And besides, these videos are popular.  Why else would they be some of the most highly requested videos on YouTube? 

So before you judge, check out a few of them yourself.  While yes, some people do obviously only film these videos to brag about how much they own, there are people that film them graciously and do them to educate their viewers on organization and products.

I also love watching the transitions that people’s collections go through, one of my favorite transitions being Amarixe, or Allison’s, transitions.  She is by far one of my favorite beauty gurus because of her personality, and the transformation her collection has gone through is absolutely unbelievable.   I will link her most current video (and one of my own inspirations for my own collection below).

My own personal collection is far from what I would like it to be.  While I am not complaining about the amount of makeup that I have – I consider myself extremely lucky to have the amount of products that I own – I do not like my set up, and like I said earlier, I am an addict and just crave to have more.  (hey, at least I’m honest)  I currently have two plastic containers that I picked up at Bed Bath and Beyond that I use to store my main makeup collection, and while it works for now, it isn’t the most functional container.  Once I get a place of my own, I can definitely see myself investing in the Ikea Alex unit that is so popular with the YouTube makeup population.

Overall, I love these videos.  And I hope you guys do to.  And if you don’t please respect the people making them.  Please don’t go and post things on the videos about how spoiled the people are or how rich they must be.  Each and every person works hard to get what they have.  Just like any COLLECTION, they are compiled over years, not just bought in a week.  And while yes, some of these collections are insanely huge, just remember – there are a lot worse things these girls could be spending their money on.
