Thanks for not calling us Glitter Critters 😂😂😂 I was watching an old Peter Monn video, and have NOT been able to get that out of my head from Breeland from glitterforever

[@carathomas8398]

Now I know why I prefer your channel over some others. You’re brilliant. Thank you!

[@Heather_isms]

Leighann, this tag was created by Mel Thompson ❤

[@erin723]

Haha! I had to repeat “demantles” in my head 🤔 and it took me a sec to remember the real word! I was waiting for a pop-up on-screen correction but this buried comment tells you who really paying attention. 😉🥰 I also follow some planner channels (bullet journalers) and see their editorial calendars and some of their backend stuff. I’m curious how you manage your content process. Video ideas, schedules, stuff like that.🤓

[@itsjessicabraun]

OH 👏 MY 👏 GOSH 👏 Your answer for the last question was SPOT ON 🙌 Also thank you so much for the shout out!!! I’m pretty sure I’ve been watching you since the beginning and you have only gotten even more funny and lovable! HOW IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE???

[@TheAmandafox]

Jessica Braun | JAMbeauty89 Eeek! I LOVE that you and Leighann watch/enjoy each other. The two of you are my absolute faves and two of the few beauty channels that I genuinely trust and value the opinions. It might be a little weird, but it warms my heart to see you support each other. 💕💕

[@whitneygeorge4116]

Agreed! They are both my two favorite!! So sweet and genuine and I legit trust everything they say!! This shout out to Jessica made me so happy 😍.

[@lunagabriella213]

Having a great partner ❤️❤️❤️ Happened to me, too 🙌

[@ANonBinoDino]

I love that the two of you watch one another! Queens supporting queen's!!!

[@girltime8637]

my two favorite KZbinrs supporting each other makes my heart sing!

[@jnc2180]

I just wanted to say a few things. I have been here from the very beginning of your journey here on KZbin. I absolutely adore you. You have stayed the same way all these years and that's something super rare to find here on the platform. You spoke so beautifully and eloquently throughout this whole video and it was super refreshing to see. The level of appreciation I have for you and your channel is one I can't even begin to explain. You're one of the rare ones and for that you should be truly proud

[@KendallF0000]

Girl 110% agree. She is definitely one of the only ones that I currently sub to that have been the same since day 1!!

[@cayce2435]

Couldn't have said it better myself.❤️

[@sarahrudkin5031]

I third all of this. When you mentioned youtuber you trust the most, I thought of you because you are so genuine and it's obvious how much you care about this industry and your subscribers. Thanks for being you and bein our lil internet fren

[@briannabrown3935]

A secret tip? This woman discovered she could do a pony tail one-handed against a wall... I DON’T THINK SHE’S KEEPING ANY SECRETS!!

[@justamaybe]

Home art tour would be cute to watch? Decor, wall hangings, idk... I'd watch it

[@beyoubefabulous8923]

I rarely comment on videos but I just had to say THANK YOU for NOT giving your subscribers a name. I've never not watched someone because of that but I do find it very annoying.

[@natatatt]

Yeah, I find it kind of condescending. I just watch their videos, I don't need some fandom group name.

[@Ellen-fu2rw]

Yes, I’ve always appreciated that she ended her main channel videos with “you are my people” in the sense that we are interested in the content she puts out.

[@snavecakes]

YESSSS bring back old KZbin one video at a time!!

[@StephanieLuff]

Negativity begets negativity. Deleting comments keeps the environment heathier all around.

[@leighannsays]

I totally think that's true and especially in the beginning when there aren't very many comments and 2 out of the 7 are mean... yeah they just have to go

[@aleeshaflow]

Your integrity is one of the main reasons I love your channel.

[@emilym3948]

Never apologize for a long video. Listening to you talk is like having a conversation with a friend. You're so real and down to earth. Keep being you!

[@ZahradeLancre]

you recommended years ago to use the maybelline rocket waterproof mascara if your eyelashes have trouble staying curled and girl i’ve never bought something a youtuber recommended and actually lived up to the review like that mascara. i literally have not found a mascara better

[@TheVoguevintage]

Ooh yes, same for me! That recommendation was excellent. And shout out to the Revlon Balm stain in Honey, an other perfect recommendation.

[@sundaymorningbeef]

voguevintage I loved honey so much. I think it's gone or that product is discontinued because I cannot find it in Newfoundland, Canada anymore :(

[@windrawr2]

Me too! I have super sad straight lashes and that crap WORKS!

[@alicamuti3922]

Same!!! Sad, straight lashes club 😭

[@vianeymontagner9749]

After that recommendation, I subscribed instantly! That mascara and tip saved my lashes!

[@laurastamper5132]

Just want to say I appreciate how wholesome you are. You show a lot of integrity and thank you for the "safe" community you have created for us. I didn't know about the options that let you block words and things like that.

[@meganjustice9606]

I'm writing a research paper on the beauty community on KZbin, and I use her channel as an example of a positive space. I love it so much.

[@helloanny88]

The only “KZbin made me buy it” items I have were recommended by you, and I bought them for all of the reasons in this video. I never feel like you’re trying to sell me something and everything I have tried I love! Trust is key. Thank you for sticking to your guns for so long. 🖤

[@leighannsays]

i really appreciate you saying that and im so happy youve found products you love through me. honestly thats what it all comes down to for me 💙

[@CassieSorrells77]

Oh my gosh, thank you for this! You’re one of very few youtubers that haven’t talked about skillshare or audible in the last two months in every video. Be true to yourself. I have never gotten tired of your content because you have always been so real and creative.

[@khanhfident]

Love how classy and mature you are!

[@robinborgione8707]

When I saw Jessica's video featuring this tag I was hoping you would do it too! You are so spot on about the influencers you do/don't trust- I feel the same way. ❤️

[@likeballet]

This tag was created by an awesome makeup artist on KZbin named Mel Thompson. She's really great! I highly recommend checking her out if you've never seen her videos before. ❤

[@leighannsays]

i absolutely will!!

[@sherrythomas3028]

Omg I love Mel she has great eyebrows! lol weird I know lol

[@likeballet]

Sherry, I agree. She has great brows! I just love her artistry in general. Her makeup always looks so flawless. 💜

[@sandraapodaca2083]

I’ve been watching you for at least 4 years and I will never not love your channel and your personality. I just grow to love you more with each video! 💕

[@leighannsays]

you are so sweet! thank you so much for sticking with me. i feel like i hit the subscriber jackpot with you guys! ❤️

[@FkD814]

I NEVER thought about the weight thing... Mostly because I firmly believe that people's weight does not determine their worth.

[@stephaniec861]

I have watched your channel for years. I can honestly say that you and Tati are the most well-spoken, drama free and polite of all the KZbin world. Drama is for reality TV... not KZbin and I just really love how you girls stay so true to that. I think you're just a very genuine person and because of you I tried the lilac hair and I LOVED it! Thank you for the positive vibes and the clean language. THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE! 💖

[@Jvanna56]

Wow, there's a reason why I keep coming back to you. You are not only beautiful inside and out but your SOUL is truly beautiful.

[@madyharlan2350]

I love the old school KZbin, been watching your channel and lovin ya since old school was the new school💞 I’m also so glad that you don’t value the Twitter drama it’s so unnecessary!

[@gracee.4844]

And 👏🏼 this 👏🏼 is 👏🏼 why 👏🏼 you’ve been on KZbin for a megamillion years 💕 you were my distraction from cramming for college midterms (grad class of ‘12. 😂 made it) ➡️ makeup gooooroooo for my wedding day + now my wing woman while 👶🏻 takes his afternoon naps. 🙌🏼

[@KelliStauffer]

There are very few youtubers I watch religiously. In fact, only three. You, Jenna marbles, and Shane. I think the main reason is you three come off as so real to me. Also I love y’all and can never get enough. Thank you, Leigh Ann, for making my week every week with new vlogs and main channel videos. ❤️

[@katiebrown7617]

Your answers to these questions is exactly why I have continued to watch you for years! Such an honest and classy lady! Keep staying true to yourself.

[@TheTinka70]

Mel Thompson created this tag, she's so talented, fresh, funny and knows soo much about makeup. Glad you did this tag and girl you can speak, it was a pleasure listening to your eloquent answers. Big hug from Italy 🙋🏻‍♀️💕

I think we would all prefer you be your honest and true self rather than “sell out” to some brands. you are not holding yourself back, you are amazing! 🥰

[@lindsayputnam7780]

Something I’ve always valued about your channel is your honesty! I know when you recommend a product you mean it. And when you don’t you’re great about giving reasons why and showing us, which I greatly appreciate. Thanks for your integrity Leigh Ann! 💋

[@jessykapop]

I have been watching you from the beginning when you had 20 subscribers. I instantly felt like you were so down to earth and a straight talker. You are the only OG you tuber I continue to watch. Everyone else I use to watch got stuck up and let money change them. You are the only one that has stayed humble, true to your channel and I still enjoy you. Thank you for being original and not changing. Breath of fresh air. Xoxo

[@cases3394]

I appreciate how real you are on your channel. Some KZbinrs or influencers get SO big it feels like they see themselves as some kind of celebrity. You feel genuine. Like a good friend you could sit and just chit chat with. No gimmicks. No hype. No ego. Love your personality and your brand and will keep watching as long as you're true!

[@kathleensauer3394]

LeighAnn... you are pure of heart; you are relatable & honest & completely down to earth ... AND FUNNY! This is why I watch you & will watch for the next 100 yrs. You do this community Proud!☺️

[@roonboo96]

I am so happy that KZbin has allowed you to take more control of nasty comments about your size, and I had honestly wondered why I stopped seeing comments about you being people's "inspiration" to be thin. I also love that you show that you are clearly health conscious. We all come in different shapes and sizes. You are inspiring because you are clearly beautiful INSIDE. Thanks for promoting positivity and genuinely good interactions on your channel. We need more of that. Love to you guys from your neighbours waaay up north where she's still sadly cold!! 😘🇨🇦🇺🇸🐶🤠

[@holsf4840]

I am not a big KZbin watcher but keep coming back for you! The integrity of your channel and the person you are is the main reason. Thank you for answering these questions so honestly! Also, have you shared lately (or at all) the brushes you use in your makeup routine? I love that the products are the main feature in your videos, but I’m also super curious about your foundation brush in every single one!

[@cateyes6225]

Leigh Ann I absolutely love and appreciate that I can watch your videos without having to second guess a motive since I know that you are built on integrity! You don't get that from very many people these days on KZbin or in the day-to-day! Thank you for being true to yourself and for letting us be a part of your world!!! Your videos are so good on both channels and you seem so extremely happy!!! Sending warm thoughts to you, Grant and Luna!!!

[@LittleLJ22]

I love you Leighann - I really can just FEEL your sincerity. Off the top of my head you're the most honest youtuber... 💛

[@fittsythesnail3750]

Obviously theres a few stragglers here and there but normally, your comment section just feels like a nice meet up for sweet tea and finger sandwiches with a bunch of old folks. I like it.

[@kathyfitzmaurice2881]

Hi Leighann I’m also a long time follower - since the beginning. Your content is always relevant. Loved this video. Your integrity and honesty is why I follow you. Always look forward to your videos!!

[@lizabeth_j_2669]

You are a KZbinr I trust and who’s opinions I value. I also happen to really enjoy your personality and sense of humor so that’s a plus lol. Thanks for being someone trustworthy who does take serious things seriously. I appreciate all your hard work and videos. 💕

[@lakinz09]

I’ve watched your videos for the longest time (like, dirty princess bun days lol), and you have always been my favorite KZbinr. I find KZbinrs I like for a while, and with literally every one, I end up finding something I really don’t like about them. But you have always seemed so honest and genuine, and like somebody I could actually be friends with in real life. So thank you for that! Just thought I’d share 💁🏼‍♀️

[@ryaneburg6213]

Emily noel is the greatest! I love her too!

[@jackienolan9142]

Yeah I had come across that forum once.... It's full of jealous and nasty people.

[@gebo133]

I couldn't agree more with everything you said. That's why I've been watching your videos religiously for more than 4 years, lots of love ❤️

[@martdesj]

For number 12...i saw this once...i could not beleive it! The person showed one foundation and at some point the camera pointed at a miror that showed the makeup table and it was a different foundation. Not a mix because the original showed on screen was nowhere to be found..talk about trusting this person, never again. Sticking with you all the way!!

[@Monica.Corrie]

Thank you for your integrity, creativity and not being gimmicky...this is why I've been loving your videos for 6 yrs or so! You're definitely one of the very best. 💗🙏🏽

[@leighannsays]

hahaha sounds like something I'd do 😅

[@Ashlykd10756]

I love that you don’t get involved in the drama and don’t call people out. I know drama can sometimes get more views but I prefer a KZbinr who focuses on creating their own content and engaging with their subscribers. Your videos are so fun to watch :)

[@mariacasella979]

Love old school KZbin!!!if anyone who can bring back the O.G it's you ❤️so much appreciate how honest you are,and always remaining humble💕

[@wishfulstitches2870]

It's a really great point that you made about all of the people who depend on a brand's success that would also suffer from a boycott.

[@treesyjo]

Technical question for other viewers... Anyone feel the sound on this video was a little low? I had a playlist of videos set and when this one started, it was quiet and I had to crank the volume all the way up to make it seem normal volume. But then that made the ads super loud. This was the only video that was quiet so it seemed to be specific to this video and not on my end. Just curious.

[@JennaMcCallister]

yes.

[@bluebirdlanecreations7455]

i so value your honesty, which is why i've been watching you for years (and will continue to do so)!!!! as for the subculture thing, i completely agree that it was so annoying to see everyone and their dog hating on it!! this is why i like samantha ravndahl so much, she actually made a point of talking about how much she enjoys that palette and showed ways to make that formula work rather than bashing it like everyone else did 🙄

[@Rtytanicj]

You are one of the few youtubers that have been on for years and has stayed humble and true to who they were when they started. Of course you and others have grown and changed, but you are still the same person. Idk if that made sense at all. But keep doing you!

[@dimpleinatorHCG]

Just when I start to think I’m crazy for watching a person on the Internet for all these years, you go and do this. These are a few of my favorite Leighann things, one - your marketing background is showing. As someone who works in that world, I think what always drew me to you was how you avoid the gimmicks, I orchestrate those by day, so I’m not impressed by the ppl who live and die by them. I also have loved how considerate you always are. The KVD drama for example, as someone working for a brand I too always think of the other people “making it happen.” I put myself in other ppl’s shoes to a fault. Maybe it’s all that church going growing up I can’t help it, but it makes me happy I’m not the only one. You’re doing great sweetie!! PS: Please go to Double Wide and have a Yahoo Yeehaw now that you and Grant live in Dallas, I’ve just been dying for your review!
