Hey, friends.
Welcome back.
For those of you who don't know me, I'm Courtney and I have my two standard poodles, Phaedra
and Nyx in the room behind me so you may see them walking around.
Today, I'm bringing you a video inspired by Jen Luvs Reviews.
She recently did a video about YouTubers under 5,000 and this video is basically about different
YouTubers that I like to watch that are between 500 and 5,000 subscribers.
There are a couple towards the end that are just under 30,000 but I wanted to go ahead
and talk about all of them with you and I'm going to kind of run through this quickly.
They're in no particular order.
First up is Clumps of Mascara.
This is by my friend Brittany.
She has 11,000 subscribers.
She's a local friend of mine who's in Orlando and she talks about beauty and lifestyle.
She also talked about more serious issues like being black in America.
She was recently flown out to LA to be at the Black Panther premiere on the purple carpet,
which was amazing.
She looked so good.
Then, we have my friend Eugenia.
She has about 2,400 subscribers.
She mostly focuses on hair and makeup.
She's got a lot of really great video videos of her at Monaco Salon, which is a South Tampa
salon.
She has Asian hair and so it's very dark and thick and so she has taken it through a whole
bunch of different colors.
She went blonde.
She went light pink.
She went hot pink and most recently, she has pink and a bright purple.
It looks amazing so you should definitely check her out.
Then, we have my friend Emily from Emily Wolf Beauty.
She makes makeup tutorials and she just recently shared a really cool video about having eyelash
… What was it?
She just recently shared a cool video about getting her eyelashes permed and tinted, which
makes me want to give it a try but I'm going to see how it lasts for her.
It's supposed to last for about two months.
I like that she's doing videos like this.
Her tutorials are amazing.
She is so talented like I feel like I have no skill compared to her because she is so,
so good.
She's a total sweetheart.
She's cruelty-free and she also does some, I think some fashion and lifestyle too.
Next, we have Jen, my friend Jen from My Beauty Bunny.
She has around 7,000 subscribers.
She does makeup reviews and tutorials and our friend Roxy used to be on her channel
but Roxy blew up, Roxette Arisa.
Jen is one of my biggest influences for why I went cruelty-free so she's somebody definitely
to check out.
I think you'll really enjoy her.
Next up, we have some of the girls from the PhyrraNyx Facebook group, we have Dizzy Girl
Makeup and she does a lot of really fun stuff.
She'll cover indie brands.
She'll do hair tutorials like how to style your hair and she's also done some wig reviews.
She's around 1,300 subscribers right now.
Next up, we have Eyes on Allison.
She has 4,400 subscribers right now.
I've mentioned her before as a channel that you should watch.
She does makeup, decluttering, crafts, different kinds of stuff and she's a real sweetheart.
Then, there's Geek Out of Water.
She has around 3,300 subscribers and she does a lot of makeup over 40, skincare over 40,
foundation over 40, and she has dry skin similar to mine but not exactly like mine so I really
appreciate her videos.
Then, we have my friend Kath from the Fabzilla.
She has around 2,200 subscribers and she just recently went all vegan.
I think she's had a vegan lifestyle but not been vegan with her makeup for like 10 years
but she covers how to transition on her blog, as well as on her YouTube channel.
She's also been doing a lot of vegan fashion reviews so I think that you'll find her very
interesting especially considering her background.
She does work in the medical industry.
Next, we have Ashley and she's better known as Lipstickitty.
She's a real sweetheart.
She's part of the Kat Von D Collective Artistry.
She has around 4,000 subscribers right now but she's been cruelty-free for a very long
time.
On her channel, you'll see cruelty-free and vegan makeup reviews and tutorials and
she is super skilled obviously or she wouldn't be working for Kat Von D.
Next up, we have Makeup Struggles.
Now, she's got like 18,600 or probably almost 19,000 subscribers right now and I love her
videos because she gives you something that you're not really going to get anywhere else
because she's just very frank with you.
She is explicit and she warns in her video that she's going to be swearing because that's
just how she is and I appreciate that but she does a lot of like fun makeup talks.
She does really, really cool, "Let me redesign these palette videos."
I really enjoy her anti-hauls.
I love her taste in makeup too because she likes a lot of similar colors to me.
She likes cool tones and she likes grays, so yeah, I think she has great taste and I
think she's really funny.
Next, we have Mariam and she has around 500 subscribers and she does a ton of indie beauty
so if you like Fyrinnae or Silk Naturals or Aromaleigh or anything like that, if you're
looking for duo chrome eyeshadows, she is your girl.
She does all kinds of swatches and she also does tutorials too.
Next up is Rebecca Shores.
She has around 11,000 subscribers and she does beautiful hooded eye makeup tutorials.
I had the pleasure of meeting her when I was out in LA for Jen Beauty and she is a total
sweetheart and she just recently had a baby but she is still at it making very beautiful
and creative eye shadow looks.
Next up is Rina Reviews and she has around 600 subs.
She's also in the PhyrraNyx Facebook group and she does a lot of like indie beauty and
she does reviews and she does tutorials.
She does like anti-haul and declutters, so she's a lot of fun.
Next up is my friend Miranda of Slashed Beauty.
She has around 12,000 subscribers.
Now, she does a lot of drugstore beauty.
That's her focus.
Sometimes, she'll work in some lifestyle and she just recently got married and went on
her honeymoon but mostly, she focuses all on drugstore beauty and she does a lot of
great swatches.
She has great reviews and I really like her makeup tutorials as well.
Plus, I have total hair envy.
Her hair is so gorgeous and thick.
I wish mine was like that.
Next, we have Smacy.
She does a lot of really fun, colorful tutorials.
I like her tutorials.
I think that they're fun to follow.
She also has some really interesting chitchat videos that you might like as well.

She's a UK-based makeup artist and she just does a lot of great tutorials.
Next up is Vegan Beauty Review.
You may know Sunny because she has a pretty big blog.
She has around 4,400 subscribers on YouTube and she focuses on cruelty-free and vegan
beauty.
Next up, we have Tashina from Logical Harmony.
She, like Jen from My Beauty Bunny, were two of the biggest reasons that I went cruelty-free
in 2012.
I love Tashina.
She is amazing.
She's got about 23,500 subscribers on YouTube at the time of this video and she really does
focus on cruelty-free and vegan makeup.
She does tutorials.
She does hauls.
She does basically stuff like that and I find her very enjoyable.
Her video quality is really high.
She has two different cameras, so she can shoot different angles when she's doing tutorials
she's got a really great sound equipment, really great lights.
I feel like she puts out very high quality videos.
Then, we have Kailey Baute and she's got about 24,000 subscribers and she does a lot of really
cool makeup reviews and talk videos and I think that you'll really enjoy her.
She also does some indie.
My video camera shut off and I didn't realize it didn't record this section about Ivy.
Ivy's another member of the PhyrraNyx Facebook group.
She's awesome.
She does a lot of different types of reviews like she does a lot of great wig reviews.
She also does makeup reviews and she does tutorials.
She's a lot of fun so please check her out.
She's got around 23,799 subscribers.
Last but not least is Angelica and I will butcher her last name so I'm not going to
do that.
I'm very sorry but I don't know how to pronounce it.
It's Swedish.
She has around 28,000 subscribers.
She does the most amazing, beautiful, colorful looks like really colorful eyeshadow tutorials.
I have total eye envy over the shape of her eyes because she's got so much lid space.
She does a lot of indie brands.
She does a lot of really interesting fun tags, just … and she's very creative so I think
that if you like color, you will love her channel.
She just recently did a really cool channel on how to make your own Jeffree Star Blood
Sugar palette.
Rather than buying Jeffree Star, instead she gave suggestions on some really great colors
and ways to shop your stash, which I thought was brilliant.
It kind of reminded me a little bit of my makeup geek DIY palette series.
Anyway, those are my picks for people that you should check out that are all under 30,000.
I will put everybody's name and links to other channels in the description box below.
I already have it all written up, so there's no way I will forget a link when I put this
into the description box of this video.
I hope you really enjoyed this video and check out some of these channels.
I think you'll really enjoy them.
There are a lot of great small YouTubers out there and I know that YouTube's algorithm
doesn't necessarily make it easy for you to find new people, so I hope that this will
help you.
I plan to do this probably every six months just to say, "Hey, check out some new channels."
Anyway, if you liked this video, please give it a thumbs up and share.
It really helps me out when you share my videos and it makes my day and if you haven't already,
you should click on that little subscribe button down below and I'll see you in my next
video.
