This week I got to chat with Eila, an 18
year old beauty guru & vlogger from Sydney, Australia. She is such a beautiful girl and was super
kind to talk with. I have watched her videos for a while now and love how
informative and down to earth she is in front of the camera. I myself was really interested in what she had to say and her answers
and I hope you are too!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
What’s your favourite
thing about being on YouTube?
I’d probably have to say that my favourite aspect of YouTube
is the strong sense of community. Every YouTuber that I’ve encountered so far, have
all been really friendly, accepting and supportive. I find making new friends
through YouTube to be so rewarding!
What was the first video you ever made?
Throughout my lifetime so far, I’ve made quite a few YouTube
channels, so I can’t say for sure what my first ever video was. On my main
channel, the first video I ever posted was a vlog of DOMMsmiles (Dominique
Amor) and Girlbeyoutee’smeetup. It was such an awkward video, plus I hadn’t
learnt the wonders of filling in my brows yet, so that video has now been
privated!
How do you balance
YouTube/social life/schooling/homework/etc.?
I find that as long as I have a good schedule set up, I’m
able to balance schooling, life and YouTube. It definitely helps that I don’t
have a job, and that I’m only currently uploading once a week on YouTube.
Who are your YouTube
models? Anyone you look up to in the beauty world?
I’d have to say that my main YouTube role model is Shannon
Harris (shaaanxo). I’ve been watching her videos for years now, and she just
inspires me so much! Her makeup is always flawless, she posts videos so
regularly, and she seems to be a really lovely girl!
How did you tell your
family/friends about your videos? How did they react?
Well, I actually started off my YouTube channel with my best
friend, Sarah, so she knew about it from the very start. I don’t think my
parents really understood why I wanted to make YouTube videos, but they didn’t
have any issues with it. My friends have all been really supportive of my
channel.
Are you attending IMATS
this year?
Yes, I will be attending Sydney IMATS this year. I haven’t
booked tickets yet, but I will definitely be going on the Saturday (not sure
about Sunday yet). I had the best time at IMATS last year, and can’t wait to go
back!
Favourite drugstore
product?
This is such a hard decision! I love so many different
drugstore products, but I’d probably have to choose my beloved Rimmel Match
Perfection Foundation. I wear it almost every day, and I just love how glowy
and radiant it looks on my skin.
Favourite high end
product?
I don’t have many high end products right now, but my
favourite would probably be my MAC Cremesheen Lipstick in Sunny Seoul. It is
the most gorgeous warm pink shade, with a slight shimmer in it. The formula is
amazing too, it’s so moisturising and glides onto my lips so nicely.
One skincare item you
cannot live without?
I’d probably have to say the Biore Nourish Moisture Lotion.
It is my holy grail moisturiser! It just makes my skin so soft and smooth, and
contains SPF to prevent sun damage.
If you could have a dinner party and invite any 3 people from YouTube,
who would they be and why?
I’d probably have to choose
Shannon Harris, KarissaPukas and Lauren Curtis. They seem like such lovely
girls, and I think having a dinner party with them would be a lot of fun!
