It must be nice receiving free stuff to review. 

Yes, it must be.  Was she just showing them or had she used them and had an opinion?

@monicakm she applied the products and gave her opinions. She had eyeshadow sticks ( I forgot the brand) and stated she didn't like them.

@Jordan2 

Do you remember if the eyeshadow sticks were from Rare Beauty?

[Jordan2]

@monicakm no I don't remember. You can watch her video on YouTube. I watched someone else applying the Rare Beauty shadow sticks, they weren't blending out well and were patchy, she wasn't a fan of them.

I watched a YouTube video from Milabu, she reviewed products that she got in promo boxes from high end beauty brands ( the whole video was of freebie makeup). She got makeup in different color shades, application tools ( brushes). It must be nice receiving free stuff to review.

@Jordan2   I prefer when the ytbers show the box they came in to be sure it was PR. Many purchase items themselves.

I started watching a YouTube video by Tati, she was opening PR boxes. You can't believe how many boxes she was opening, it felt to me like bragging. I actually checked out of the video a few minutes in because she was boring me.

@Jordan2 

Tati has been a beauty influencer on YouTube for years and years. She has a huge following.  And yes she gets a lot of PR. Beauty influencers often do what is called an unboxing. Some people like them and some people don't.  Please don't let that be a deciding factor for watching her other videos.  And if you decide she's not for you, there are plenty other fish in the sea 😉

@monicakm Tati got a PR box from Charlotte Tilbury, Tati says something to the effect (under her breath) she was surprised to get a box as she has said she didn't like her new releases ( Disney). If someone sent me all that free stuff, I would give my true opinion but would very much appreciate what was sent to me.

@Jordan2 

Beauty vloggers come under a LOT of scrutiny (I think most of it comes from this forum).  It has to be a balancing act to please subscribers and at the same time, those that send them PR  boxes.
