Make sure to skim through last week's questions before deciding what to ask... one question per person please! Last week I got a lot of repeat questions so if you read through those you can get lots of answers and then ask me one that you haven't seen me answer yet :)
Just like last week it will be first come, first served. I will try to answer them as best I can!

Hi Elle,
ReplyDeleteLove the new Tuesday Tea format. My question is: Are you an outdoor person or an indoor person?
Jenna ♥♥
I would definitely say that I am an indoor person overall, but I don't mind the outdoors for certain things! I like hiking, and horseback riding, and going to the beach. I can't say that I'm the biggest camper though... I like my hot showers and warm beds! :)
DeleteHi Elle, I was wondering if you had any recommendations of drugstore foundations, for very dry, eczema, sensitive skin.
ReplyDeleteSo far I have tried the Neutrogena Healthy Skin Liquid Makeup, Revlon ColorStay Foundation, Loreal Paris BB Cream, and the Almay Smart Shade CC Cream.
None of the products give me a flawless, full coverage face that I want. Most of them make my face look cakey and worse.
Thank You!
~Cindy F.
I would recommend the Revlon colorstay whipped creme foundation or the Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Treatment Makeup! Both of those work for me and I have dry and sensitive skin :) You just have to remember to apply a moisturizer right before applying the foundation since your skin is dry!
DeleteThank you so much! Do you know any drugstore moisturizers that fit my skin type?
DeleteNeutrogena Sensitive skin is my favorite! They have one with spf. It perfect for summer!!!!
DeleteHi Elle :) love the new blog! What are some of your favorite blogs to read?
ReplyDeleteI really like http://abeautifulmess.typepad.com, http://www.beautymouth.com, http://www.viviannadoesmakeup.com, and http://www.buynowbloglater.com :)
Deleteand I have NO idea why blogger spaced my words out like that lol!! "I really like" :)
DeleteHey Elle!
ReplyDeleteI can't belive that I joyn this since i live in a total other timesone(germany). I love you and your videos(and thiy blog, my new addiction) sooo much! You are such an inspiration to me. So my question; I just adopted a kitten. She is white and pretty and sweet and deaf. Do you have some advices for me? (And also in general about kittens)
Oh and her name is Elle. I know kinda stupid but...I love you sooo much. Everytime I'm down your videos make me happy again. And I also wanted to tell you to check out this book: Awaken by Katie Kacvinsky its the type of book you like...
In sooo much love, Rosy and little Elle sleeping on my legs.
That is one of the sweetest things that I have ever heard!! My advice would be to always be super gentle with her, and she will grow up to be a gentle adult :) I always carried Pinecone around and cuddled him and was overall super sweet to him and he has grown up to be the nicest cat to other people. He always greets my guests and lets them pet him, and that has not always been the case for other cats that I have had! And let her sleep with you and be with you as much as she wants, even if she gets annoying! Pinecone meows a lot at night but I don't lock him out of my room because he likes to be inside with me :)
DeleteI'll check out that book! Thank you!
OMG I'm crying right now. You answerd me. You realy answerd me. And your first sentence was like the most wonderful in the world you could have said. This answer made my my day...week...month...OMG YOU ANSWERD ME! My sister came in asking if everything is ok, because I screamed so loud because of happyness!!! Love you sooo much! If I could choose one person to meet in this live, it would be you. I realy want to save for a flight to LA and come to a meetup. It would meen everything to me.
DeleteHi EllE! What are your biggest insecurities if you don't mind answering :)
ReplyDeletehmm... sometimes I don't like to be in new situations. If I'm going to have to go somewhere alone that I have never been I will get anxiety and won't want to go! It's kind of weird, because other times I don't mind it at all... it just hits me every now and then.
DeleteHiii Elle,
DeleteDo you know any really cheap good products from the drugstore, please reply. I know I'm late but please?
Hey Elle,
ReplyDeleteI am in the market for a new serum that brightens and lightens the skin (I have hyper pigmentation). I have been eyeing down the Christian Dior Diorsnow serum, however, since it is so expensive I was wondering what your opinion on this product was? Also, is there a comparable/better product out there? I don't mind spending the money, but I want to see results.
I just went to ULTA asking for something similar to fade my acne scars and the lady was blunt, saying that there isn't really anything. I don't know if this advice will work for hyper pigmentation, but she said that keeping the skin clean so that future problems (in my case, breakouts) don't happen. I think that makes sense, so that's what I'm trying and I'm just using drugstore skincare stuff. I've also heard and seen in some high-end skincare products that are marketed towards skin-tone-evening that it's really just sunscreen, so maybe try that!
DeleteI have also heard that the Diorsnow serum is very good, but I have never tried it. I would definitely recommend getting some sort of chemical exfoliater to use hand in hand with whatever serum you get. I really love the Cane & Austin ones that I have reviewed here on this blog - they are fantastic! They will work to smooth away the skin on top so that the serum can go ever deeper and work even better. If you try the diorsnow one let me know! I am thinking about trying it as well.
DeleteIf you can get your hands on Indeed Labs Petabright and use it AM and PM you will totally see a difference. I had serious cystic acne and it really improved my scars and the hyper pigmentation that some of the blemishes left! I know Duane Reade here in NYC has started selling it, but I originially got it in London at Boots...
DeleteThe Mario Badescu Vitamin C Serum works great. It's a midrange price, about 45. Sometimes you have to spend a bit. Just look out for good ingredients though. Soy, licorice, ascorbic acid (vitamin c), are all good for lightening hyperpigmentation. I don't know what the Ulta girl was talking about.
DeleteI don't have severe hyper-pigmentation, but I do have several acne scars. What cleared them up was Tea Tree Blemish Fade Night Lotion by The Body Shop. It works wonders!!! I got mine at Ulta and it's fairly inexpensive at $20 a bottle I think. The bottle looks tiny, but it lasted me a couple of months. When I first tried it, I was disappointed because I didn't notice a difference right away. So don't lose hope when you don't see much of a difference the first week. After a couple of weeks my acne scars were gone!!! Now I get so many compliments on my skin, and I never go a night without it!
DeleteHey Elle!
ReplyDeleteI have this short shoulder Chanel cambon bag which I NEVER use anymore because it's super impractical.. Have any ideas on how I can make it into a satchel?? I recently called Chanel boutiques to ask if they sell straps but they don't because they don't want to impair the design :(
Lots of love xo
Steph
s-impyclassy.blogspot.com
hmmm... is there anyway you can link a picture of what it looks like? I'm not sure with one you have :) It sounds pretty though!
DeleteHere's the link :)
Deletehttp://www3.images.coolspotters.com/photos/277594/chanel-cambon-long-bag-profile.jpg
For mine, the CC is white instead of black!
Maybe you could find a chain strap of some sort? I think something like the straps on the Rebecca minkoff mini mac bags might look nice
DeleteI agree, i think you may opt for chain strap from others brands. I'm not very familiar with designer bags so maybe some of the sisters here can give some recommendation for you. :) You get to choose your strap so that's pretty cool! Cuz it fits your personality well that way. :)
DeleteThanks for the help :) Any ideas what shops sell chain straps of any sort? I like the idea of the Rebecca Minkoff but buying the bag for the strap isn't quite ideal :)
Delete:D Love these! What is your favourite BB cream?
ReplyDeleteI'm actually not a huge fan of BB cream... they just don't give me enough coverage. But, I'm about to start testing the Kiehl's BB cream so I will keep you guys posted on what I think of it :)
DeleteWhat are your favorite LUSH products right now?
ReplyDeleteooh!! I adore lush! The Love Lettuce Mask, the green "Sugar Scrub", Lovely Jubblies, and Happy Hippy are my favorites right now :) What are yours??
DeleteHi Elle!! What are the ingredients we should avoid in skincare products?
ReplyDeleteit all depends on your skin and what you are sensitive to, but I like to stay away from Bismuth Oxychloride (found in lots of mineral foundations and products with glitter), Silicone, and Mineral Oil in products that are going to be sitting on my skin (like moisturizers or foundations). There are lots of websites that you can research ingredients on and find out which other ones are icky. Just google "bad cosmetic ingredients"
DeleteI'm not Elle, but avoid sulfates. They make products foam up. But if you have acne prone skin, they'll make it worse. They alkaline the skin and make it a breeding ground for bacteria. Keep your skin's pH acidic by using non foaming cleansers. <3
DeleteHey :)
ReplyDeleteMy question is: would you ever consider lifestyle blogging, or do you prefer to stick with beauty? I'd love to hear more about life in LA if you ever considered it
Charlotte x
totally!! I'm actually thinking about starting up another blog for that kind of stuff. I know most people combine them but I like the idea of keeping them separate... it just feels like a totally different type of blog, you know?
DeleteOh definitely, lifestyle is much more random I find. Saying that mine is lifestyle and I absolutely love writing it
DeleteIf you start up a lifestyle blog you've definitely got a reader in me :)
Enjoy the rest of your day x
Since you have been in LA for quite some time now, what would you suggest and advise to young people thinking about moving there? And is it maybe possible for you to do a video on that subject? (:
ReplyDelete(Sorry it's not beauty related)
What types of things would you like for me to talk about in the video? or answer here :)
DeleteWell, I think your own experience would be interesting... :D
DeleteWhy did you decided to move there, how did you decide in which part of the city you would move, how did you find an apartment you liked, was it hard to make friends there, learn your way around the city, how did you discover where the best shopping was, your favourite restaurants... (:
Hi Elle, what is your favorite foundation and primer combination right now?
ReplyDeleteI don't wear primer, but I have been using my Kate Somerville Goat Milk Cream with my Laura Mercier silk creme foundation and I LOVE it :)
DeleteHey Elle! I was wondering if you could do a Kaya Scodelario makeup tutorial (specifically her makeup from the Chanel show at Paris fashion week). FYI, she is playing Teresa in The Maze Runner if you didn't know. I know you loved the book! Keep up the awesome work, love you Elle!
ReplyDeleteooh she is very pretty! I just looked it up :) And that is so cool about her playing Teresa! I'll write down this request :)
Deletehow do you advise promoting your blog without "spamming"?
ReplyDeletestylesista.blogspot.com
^^ is this spamming?
I would maybe try to advertise on other people's blog that are about the same level in popularity as yours. A lot of people will "cross promote" but linking each others blog in each other's sidebars so you can maybe get some of their readers to check you out. And I don't think that is spamming - just because everyone else is doing it here too! :)
DeleteHi Lauren and Elle,
DeleteI just wanted to put out there that this comment got me thinking and I am starting a new Sunday format to help newer beauty bloggers and youtubbers connect to each other, find others, and share their channels/blogs. Here is the link: http://bit.ly/16Am860
Hope this helps :)
Jenna
Hi Elle!
ReplyDeleteDid you design your blog layout/header yourself or did you have someone else do it for you? I've always been afraid to hire someone as I'm quite particular about what I like but would still like something a bit more put together/professional!
P.S I'm loving your new blog! I've been watching your videos since pretty much the beginning but I love that I can now read your posts on the go!
efxo - Beauty | Fashion | Life
xo
omg I am the EXACT same way! I'm so picky that I would feel bad for whoever had to custom build my site - LOL! This one was a pre-made template that I purchased from www.envye.com. Also if you go to Etsy and type in "blogger templates" there are also a ton of options, and they aren't very expensive!
DeleteI'd be changing my mind every 5 minutes! I'm glad I'm not the only one! Ooooh thanks for the tip I'll have a look there :)
DeleteWhat software/program do you use to edit your videos? I love them!! ~K
ReplyDeleteimovie! :) I still haven't "upgraded" to final cut...
DeleteHey, i would like to know why your father speaks german fluently. I am german so I would like to know, if you are somehow connected to Germany. Love you, Elle!
ReplyDeletehe lived there for a little bit during school, so he picked up on the language. Plus, he goes back to visit every single year since he has a ton of friends there from when he lived there!
DeletePick your FAVORITE:
ReplyDeleteLaura Mercier Souffle Body Creme
or
LUSH Creme Anglaise
DEFINITELY the Laura Mercier one. Lush Creme Anglaise is amazing, but I was SO tired of the smell by the end of it. It's a very particular scent, whereas the Laura Mercier one if more of an everyday you-won't-tire-of-it-as-easily scent.
DeleteHi Elle!
ReplyDeleteI know you're friends with the Tone It Up girls. Do you have a regular exercise regimen and/or nutritional preferences?
Thanks!!
Not currently... I kind of fell off of the "healthy lifestyle" bandwagon but thankfully I am picking right back up on it! I always manage to eat pretty healthily, but I need to start working out again. I'll keep you guys posted on what type of workouts I end up doing :)
DeleteI love all of your organization/ storage tips! I was wondering how you organize your bras/ lingerie? How do you keep them from having creases or the bra losing it's shape?
ReplyDeleteI actually have an entire dresser drawer devoted to my bras! I lay them out like you would see in a store, with each one kind of tucked into the next, like in this picture: http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5260/5472373732_f4f00dc928_z.jpg It takes up tons of space, but they are expensive and I like to keep them neat and pretty! :)
DeleteI store my bras that way too! I love the overall look of it.
DeleteHi Elle! How are you? Where do you see yourself in 10 years? Alodie
ReplyDeleteI'm good!! :) And oh goodness... 10 years?! That would make me 35... hopefully married with kids living in the suburbs, blogging full time still!
DeleteHello Elle! Whats the best way to start a beauty collection (makeup, hair, body, everything!) I'm kind of starting over. Thank you lovely lady! :)
ReplyDeleteI would just start slowly! Research each and every product, and make a list of your "must-haves" instead of just going to a store and being sucked into buying everything. Especially at the beginning I think it's quality over quantity.
DeleteHello elle, how do you cope with stress? love your British accent by the way! it makes me laugh, im from England,hope i don't sound like that haha xx
ReplyDeletehahaha!!! When I am stressed I like to clean or organize. I know that sounds so weird, but it makes me feel really happy to have a little spot more organized when I am finished than when I began, and it's therapeutic in a way. Afterwards I like to make a cup of hot tea and curl up in bed to watch an episode of a show that I enjoy... I just feel so much better after that!
DeleteI'll have to try this, my way just isn't working anymore! (getting drunk)xx
DeleteWhat books are you reading right now? And besides reading, what do you do in your spare time?
ReplyDeletexoxo
Brittany <3
I just realized that this question is a repeat! Sigh, so what do you do in your spare time is the only one you have to answer!!! YOU HAVE TO ANSWER!!! muaaahahahha......
DeleteOh and its my birthday today, suggestions to treat myself?
DeleteMine is tomorrow (:
DeleteHappy Birthday WonderChild16!!!! Make sure to try to celebrate this whole week. Birthday weeks are better than birthdays...but birthdays sounds better than birthweeks....
Deletehahaha I'll answer both anyway! I just starting reading "The Testing" by Joelle Charbonneau. It's supposed to be like the Hunger Games kinda but I have only just started it so I'm not sure yet. As far as my spare time... I hang out with my friends! Go to dinner, go out, stay in and have wine, go to the pool... anything you can do with a friend! :)
DeleteAnd happy birthday!! I always like to treat myself to a massage or facial for my birthday :)
i can hear every mom going "dayum im not going through that for a WEEK" loll:P
DeleteI'm watching The Hunger Games on Netflix right now (and reading through the tea party). =)
DeleteHi Elle, what is you favorite summer makeup look?
ReplyDeleteDewy skin, bronzy/pink shadow (my stila in the light palette!), and a pink lip :) That's been my go to!
DeleteWhat's your favourite store to buy home decor at? I love the way your condo is coming together so far!! Thanks! :)
ReplyDeleteI have so many! Ikea, Homegoods, Pier 1, Macy's, Urban Home, Anthropologie, Zgallerie, Urban Outfitters are some examples of where I shop :)
DeleteHey Elle! You said that you loved reading blogs more and more lately... what are some of your favorite beauty blogs?
ReplyDeleteI like: http://www.viviannadoesmakeup.com, http://www.beautymouth.com, http://www.buynowbloglater.com
DeleteHey Elle!
ReplyDeleteI really love your blog! I’ve been watching your YouTube videos for over a year now and I just love your personality- it’s easy to see your style and personality shine through in your writing! I started a blog on New Year’s Day aimed at getting people motivated to pursue their dreams and be inspired to live healthily and happily. Check it out if you have a minute later! My question for you is this: how do you manage to stay so happy and positive and keep your self-confidence high despite your haters and the people who try to put you down?
http://dreamliveandrepeat.blogspot.com/
Thanks!
Ashley
It used to be a lot harder for me, because the hate used to get to be more, but it doesn't anymore. I just learned to block it out over time and I grew a thicker skin! You just have to be confident and happy with what you are doing and putting out there, and ignore all of the hate :)
DeleteThanks so much for responding! :) I'm excited for your next post and video. ps. you chose the "coffee art" I voted for on Instagram!! :D
DeleteHey, any advice for girls moving out on their own and supporting themselves? Any advice about transitioning to adulthood in general?
ReplyDeleteI remember that you've previously said that you didn't have tons of money to spend growing up. I'm 17 and don't have a job and while most of the time YouTube videos bring me great pleasure, sometimes I feel crummy because I can't afford the same things and feel jealous. Not always materialistic things, sometimes just spacious bedrooms make me envious. Do you have any advice for how I can learn to work with the things I have?
ReplyDeleteLove your videos and new blog! What do you think is the best way to go blonde?
ReplyDeleteHey Elle,
ReplyDeleteIs there a certain way to search for blogs by category (i.e, makeup, hair, cooking)?
Hi Elle!
ReplyDeleteWe love your blog! We were wondering, why did you pick this blog design? Was it fun to customize/design?
thanks!
Sophia & Anna
Hi Elle, what is your favourite snack right now?
ReplyDeleteHi Elle,
ReplyDeleteDo you think you will ever visit your alma mater?
If you do, will you visit Cincinnati?
Also, what happened to Bear?
What is your favorite beauty product in the entire world?
ReplyDeleteI have similar skin as yours, dry, slightly sensitive and a bit lack luster. I was wondering what your best product recommendations are for people who crave hydration and radiance? Moisturizers, serums, peels etc. love this blog by the way!
ReplyDeleteHey Elle! First of all, I have been watching your YouTube videos for about 5 years and absolutely love them - and you! :) My question for you is how do you safely tan during the summer? I'm super pale and want to know how I can get a nice, natural bronze without harming my delicate skin. Thanks for your help! :)
ReplyDeleteAnd possibly ones that aren't smelly, even over time please! I've had that experience with the Jergen's Natural Glow false tanning moisturizer.
DeleteIs your vision as good aas it was when you first got LASIK? I want to get it, but I was wondering if your vision will revert a few years down the line. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteHi Elle!!
ReplyDeleteI hope this is ok but I just wanted to know any advice you have for people starting out on YouTube. My channel is WeezieBeauty and I recently started it. Any advice at all that you have would be really appreciated. Thank You Sooooo Much!
Louise
Hey Elle,
ReplyDeleteI love the new blog! I was wondering if there will be a Glitterature section? I love hearing you talk about books! You have such a passion for it.

Hi Elle! Have you heard of the brand RMS Beauty? They use really nourishing ingredients! I think you would love their products, especially their Living Luminizer! If you have tried them what do you think? If not you should check out their website! : )
ReplyDeleteWhere do u buy your beautiful tea cups? You you do more decor videos or tea cup/ mug collection videos? I really adore your taste in decor.
ReplyDeleteHey Elle, I have super dry skin, so I was wondering what kind of moisturizer from the drug store you would recommend if you have one.
ReplyDeleteThanks
I love you by the way! Who are your favorite youtubers? :)
ReplyDeleteHey Elle!
ReplyDeleteI love reading your blog and watching your videos! You are so sweet and kind. And I LOVE when pinecone makes an appearance. You two are purrfect together! ;) Haha!
My question for you is, what are some of your favorite blogs to read?
- Megan Lynn
Hey Elle :)
ReplyDeleteI was wondering if you have any tips for getting subscribers when you're a new youtuber and how you got yours?
Does anyone else have to type into a security box saying, "Prove that you're not a robot" every time they try to comment??
ReplyDeleteI didn't. Just the captcha box. :)
DeleteHi Elle!
ReplyDeleteI am really interested in starting a high-end makeup collection. What are some good starter high-end products? I am very experienced with makeup, although only the drugstore variety until now. Unfortunately, I don' have a lot of money to go out and experiment with high-end brands. I have the same hair/eye color as you, and my skin is the same color/tone/texture as yours is.
By the way, I am a devoted Pevonia customer because of you! After watching your videos about a year ago, I purchased the entire Pevonia Myoxy Caviar Ligne, and it has changed my life! Thank you!

ReplyDeleteDear Elle,
ReplyDeleteHow do you think your life would be if you and Blair never began your YouTube channels?
Will you be doing more beauty videos with Blair in the future? :)
ReplyDeleteHi Elle!
ReplyDeletewhat is your go to summer lip color?
Has Jellybean shown any interest in becoming a beauty guru like you and Blair? I know she's young, but like when she's older? I'd love to watch her also!
ReplyDeleteHey Elle!
ReplyDeleteI have been a fan for at least a few years now, and it seems that the beauty community exploded from primarily makeup tutorials to everything under the beauty umbrella! Im still am really interested in eye makeup tutorials ( my favourite of yours is the 'sailor' one )
I would love to watch more of your eye tutorials:)
Q: how much have you changed as a person since college?
<3
Hey Elle, I am wondering if you could give me some tips on growing my hair out stronger. my hair is pretty long at the moment, falls past my shoulders but I am always running into problems were the ends do not stay healthy and I get split ends really easily but my roots tend to get greasy after about two days. I wash my hair every three days and don't use hot tools often and when I do I always use heat protection. just wondering if their is something more i can do. I feel like i am stuck at this length and I would really like a few more inches, but healthy inches. not split ones.
ReplyDeletethank you,
Paige XO

ReplyDeleteHey Elle, I saw you had the Kerastase Cristaliste shampoo/conditioner in your shower video and I bought the shampoo. I was wondering what you thought of it. I'm not sure whether it's the shampoo making my hair fluffy that I don't like, or my conditioner (Joico KPak) making my hair feel lank that I don't like.
ReplyDeleteI also bought the Kerastase nectar thermique on your recommendation which I love so thank you!
Hey, Elle!
ReplyDeleteMy name is Ioana and I am from Romania. I am so excited to join this tea party, because I am a huge fan of yours and you are such an amazing person and an inspiration for all of us. I want to ask you some questions:
1. Who is your beauty inspiration?
2. How did you come up with the idea for your book?
3. How do you deal with stress?
4. Do you like Jane Austen's books? If yes, what books which were written by her have you read?
5. Where do you see yourself in 5 years, professionally speaking?
Heyyy Elle! What is you favorite OPI nail polish for summer? And what is your favorite store to shop at?
ReplyDeleteHi Elle,
ReplyDeleteif you would have $100.000 for donation what would you donate it for? Greetings and love from Europe!
Love Franzi
Hey Elle!! Love you!! My mom says I'm only allowed to buy one thing from M.A.C and I wanted your opinion on what I should get. If you could only get one thing from M.A.C what would it be?
ReplyDeleteHey Elle! :)
ReplyDeleteI don't actually have a question but instead a suggestion for you! I know in several of your videos you've talked about the mascara primers making your lashes gray.. have you tried Lancome's CILS Booster XL? I use it and it really makes my lashes longer and I've noticed significantly less eyelash loss. And my lashes are still very black. I apply the mascara (fyi I use the hypnose star and i love it) while the booster is still wet.
Love you and your videos! :)
Xoxo,
Kylie
Happy Tuesday, Elle! While in college, how did you do youtube, GG, sorority events, etc and still focus on classes? Do you have any tips on how to organize ones life while going to school but also having alot of activites/hobbies on the side?
ReplyDeletethanks!
What did you get your degree in when you went to collage?
ReplyDeleteHey Elle!
ReplyDeleteSince summer holiday is here, what are your plans for the holiday? Do you have tips on activities to do and not get bored? I don't know yet where I'm going or doing so maybe you could help me.
Love your videos btw :P
Hey Elle,
ReplyDeleteRandom .. do you ever think you will come to the UK in particular Scotland? Im so happy that you have started your own blog, its such a cute wee site and i look forward to what you do next :D! xxx
What would be your dream job if you weren’t doing what you’re currently doing as a profession?
ReplyDeleteThanks to your last week’s Tuesday Tea a lot of new people came to my website microscopebeauty.com. So thank you ( :
Hey Elle! I was wondering what you would recommend I do to make these little bumps I have on my cheeks go away. They aren't acne, they're just these little skin colored bumps! They aren't too noticeable, but do you have any idea as to what I can do to get rid of them?
ReplyDeleteHey Elle!
ReplyDeleteFirst off, LOVE the new blog! I have a question and I'm hoping you could help. I wash my hair every other day, but the day after I wash my hair, it's super duper greasy on my roots. Even with dry shampoo it still looks greasy. I do not put conditioner on my roots and I make sure to spend extra time rinsing shampoo out. Do you know why this is happening or how I can fix it?
Thank you so much (:
What is some new music that you have been listening to?? I have been loving Paradise Fears' new album, Battle Scars.
ReplyDeleteNo question here. Just wanted to say that I'm a licensed attorney with three professional degrees who teaches and I still get giddy whenever I see one of your vids in my sub box! lol.
ReplyDeleteDon't let others dictate the direction of your blog/videos and don't allow them to diminish your successes by attributing it to an affluent upbringing. You're a fantastic young woman and I hope you surround yourself with people who often remind you of this. Some of the despicable comments online make me cringe.
Keep up the good work!

This comment makes me really happy ( :
DeleteHi Elle

Hey Elle,
ReplyDeleteI am a teenager and a huge fan of yours. I was wondering if I was going to start a youtube channel how would I be noticed? Is it hard to keep up? How were the bullying situations. I am comfortable with being in front of a camera and with myself but the scariest thing for me is what people are going to think of me and my friends. Please please please answer me. I would really appreciate and even if you just say hi you will literally make the rest of my life. You are a huge inspirtation and I really hope I would be able to meet you one day :)
I've been having the same problem!! I started a YouTube channel (my username is hwebster17) and I've had like NO views!! If you give me your channel name, I'll check out your channel. Can you check out mine please?
DeleteYeah sounds good :) I'll tell my friends to check out your channel too! Maybe Elle can give us a shout out?!?
DeleteI just subscribed :)
DeleteThank you! I'm checking out your channel now! :D
DeleteHey Guys!! I'm starting out too and have started a new sunday format on my blog to help beauty community newbies share their sites, find each other, and gain followers. Here is a link to it. I hope you guys all get involved, I'm just starting to get it off the ground :)

Hi! From the not so sunny england lol, Ermmm my question is whats the best way to hide big pores and how to get rid of em?
ReplyDeleteElle, do you mind extending this slot a little while? Because just reading the earlier questions will take a long time to get to the bottom.
ReplyDeletequestion: Would you dedicate a special blog post on intimate care here? hair removal, cleanser, or any special products for our lady down there that are safe and great for us.
I think that will be a great topic to discuss together on here. I feel like this is a secret garden for us girls. I just love this blog so much!
Lots of love from me, Annyss who lives in Malaysia and it's 3.06 am here. :)
Hi Elle! I have thin, dry color treated hair. What are your top product picks for hair care toward my hair type? I haven't found the right products that work for me and it's costing me time and money. :/
ReplyDeleteThank you, love your blog and the effort you put into it. xxx

Great blog! I'm not much into makeup but I always tune in for your skincare videos! What are some of your favorite serums? Do you use one designated for day and night or do you have one you use both day and night?
ReplyDeleteHey! What are you favourite foundations that have good coverage that are also good for oily skin?
ReplyDeleteAlso what products would you recommend for getting rid of hyperpigmentation and scars?

Hi Elle!
ReplyDeleteI'm 14 years old and I love the idea of starting a youtube and blog, I even have videos filmed and edited, but I feel like everything that I talk about doesn't sound original. I also can't decide on a username!
Help?
Sarah
What about "sarah can't find a username" :)
DeleteThe tea party idea is great! What made you start a blog as well as youtube?

By the way, I have a blog in german about my live in a wheelchair: laura-im-rolli.tumblr.com
