How long have you been vlogging? 1.5 years
What inspired you to start your vlog? I have always been a fan of watching other makeup gurus on YouTube. One day my boyfriend was watching over my shoulder and he said ‘You can do that, you should do that’. So I did!
Any words of wisdom for someone considering starting a vlog? Don’t wait! A year from now you’ll wish you started today.
How long have you been using Magic Links? About 8 months
What is your favorite thing about MagicLinks? It gives my viewers a quick link to everything I talk about and it allows me to see what people are interested in (via the reporting).
What feature do you find the most useful in Magic Links? The product click report. That tells me what products my viewers are actually interested in so I know where to focus future videos.
What advice would you give other Magic Links users to get the most out of the program? Really take some time to understand all the amazing reporting that is provided! You can learn so much about your viewers and what will make you more money in the future!
Have any pets? We love pets here at MagicLinks! I have two mini dachshunds – Lola & Lilly
Favorite quote or mantra that you live by? Those who try to bring you down are already below you.
If you could travel anywhere tomorrow where would you go? China or Japan. Their beauty products are amazing!
Favorite Magic Links Retailer? Sephora
What is one of the best comments you have received on one of your videos? Surprisingly the ‘best’ comment I ever received was my very first mean/rude comment. It taught me so much about how I should handle myself, how I should react, and it prepared me for all the possible criticism I could receive while putting myself on social media.
Where is your favorite place to shop? Sephora!
What’s the best deal you’ve scored in the past month? There are always so many amazing deals around the holiday times, it’s so hard to pick just one! But I must say that I was very proud of my most recent Ulta purchase. I used my accumulated points to purchase the Too Faced Star Dust Palette and ended up getting it for free!
