PS. I wanted to add together cute gifs to this post, but equally I'm technologically challenged, it didn't work. Sorry.You'll receive got to aspect at random photos from my Instagram instead.
I'm ever conflicted whether I should ship service so-called see pieces from fourth dimension to time, or only stick to production reviews. I'm non going to ship service skincare advice, ever, because I am non a cosmetologist, or a skincare professional. And besides, exclusively a amount idiot would receive got skincare advice from an unqualified blogger. Sadly, judging past times the materials seen inward the beauty blogging world, in that place are idiots aplenty out there.
I was asked today why I don't produce vlogs.
There's a curt response - I don't produce vlogs, because I'm lazy, together with a long response - because the beauty vlogging globe reminds me too much of high school, together with I'm way too one-time for that shite.
High schoolhouse was quite traumatic for me. It's non the fourth dimension of my life I desire to remember, or revisit, inward whatever shape or form. No, give thank you lot you.
Kumamon agrees
There are some beauty YouTubers (of diverse levels of popularity) that I lookout adult man from fourth dimension to time, mainly to transcend on upwards amongst novel production releases. But equally they are paid for their opinions, I tend to plough downward the book together with only lookout adult man the images. Convenient together with stealthy, if the exclusively fourth dimension you lot tin lavatory lookout adult man YouTube is at work.
Being a pocket-size fourth dimension "beauty" blogger (in quotation marks, because I don't produce winged eyeliners together with lipsticks) amongst exclusively a handful of followers agency that I'm pretty much an outsider to the beauty blogging community. And equally such, few people, if any, pay attending to what I receive got to say.
Surprisingly, that has its proficient points. Because peeps similar me wing nether the radar of popularity, I tin lavatory live equally obnoxious together with controversial equally I desire to be, together with nobody's none the wiser.
We receive got a string of populace holidays correct straightaway hither inward Nippon together with that agency that I receive got some fourth dimension to give notice on Instagram together with YouTube. And that's precisely what I was doing this morning.
There was this resultant called Beauty Week 2015 inward Seoul, where the movers together with shakers of the beauty vlogging globe got together to eat, drink, aspect pretty together with live merry.
And looking at the coverage of the resultant on Instagram together with YouTube, it became painfully obvious that the beauty vlogging globe is fifty-fifty to a greater extent than similar high schoolhouse than I thought.
You receive got the pop chicks, the prom queens, the return queens, the upper echelons of high schoolhouse life, err, pardon me, of beauty vlogging "community".
My truthful cat doesn't give a fark. She's smart.
For them, this is occupation concern equally usual. It's a job. They produce their job. And they are damn proficient at it.
They worked difficult for their success together with hats off to them. They deserve to live admired for what they've accomplished.
Then you lot receive got the hangers-on. The adoring fans, who think that because their social media next mightiness live inward the depression five figures, they are hot shots, too. Newsflash lovelies, you're not. Not fifty-fifty close. While appearing friendly together with opened upwards on the surface, their usual adoration societies are basically the extension of high schoolhouse cliques. And tin lavatory live only equally brutal.
And together with then nosotros receive got the masses, the misfits, the wannabes, the outcasts, the outsiders, together with whoever else is left inward the graduating class.
The top grade vloggers sympathize that their chore is to mingle amongst the masses together with aspect happy doing so. After all, they instruct paid for their presence. The 2nd tier, amongst its inflated feel of self importance, is a lot less accommodating.
While looking at the instagram photos from the event, it became painfully obvious that for the hangers-on icon is everything. And that's no surprise, they are clawing their way upwards the vlogging nutrient chain, thence for them icon equals credibility.
It got to the signal that it was painful to aspect at.
Photos amongst the itsbubzes together with xsparkages of the globe were carefully tagged together with marked amongst everyone's instagram handles, thence they would live tardily to abide by past times the of import people. Unlike photos featuring the happy-to-be-there-rubbing-shoulders-with-the-gurus members of the masses. And if said fellow member happened non to receive got the physical appearance of a high-powered beauty vlogger? Hahaha! You can't live serious!
You can't await the pretty people to scream back the handles of the non thence pretty people. An honest oversight? Who are you lot kidding!
All those deep thoughts made me hungry.
So in that place you lot receive got it.
My long response equally to why I am non interested inward beauty vlogging. I desire no utilisation of that world.
I am happy beingness a pocket-size fourth dimension blogger doing the materials that pocket-size fourth dimension bloggers do.
Small fourth dimension beauty bloggers tin lavatory live equally controversial equally they want. They produce non response to corporate sponsors together with receive got no ambitions of turning pro. (At to the lowest degree I'm speaking for myself here).
Basically, beingness on the fringes of the beauty blogging community, nosotros tin lavatory tell whatever nosotros desire to whoever nosotros desire silent nosotros want.
For me, to live a beauty vlogger together with live taken seriously based on my appearance, get-go I'd receive got to become on GoFundMe, or whatever it is, together with beg for coin for dental together with jaw realignment surgery. Preferably past times some miracle-performing Seoul plastic surgeon.
Hey, at to the lowest degree I receive got cute arm covers!
So that's the cease of that story.
What I tin lavatory produce instead is a podcast.
But what the hell would I verbalise about?
Any ideas?
PS. I am really aware that a similar pecking guild exists inward the "traditional" beauty blogging community equally well, it's non exclusive to vloggers.
