Not even a minute and a half in and I stopped watching, she bores me to death. Kind of reminds me of how Ingrid does her video with the words on the screen.

Re: Amarixe
it makes me wonder if she's actually dumb because the cutesy crap doesn't work for her. it looks awkward and incredibly telling that she's insecure with herself. she wants to give off that effortlessly done poses and shots and yet all i see is a rigid insecure girl.laurie wrote:

i don't understand why gurus have this obsession with making products dance around in videos. stop shaking it. it doesn't make the product look cute!

Re: Amarixe
Her new video HAS to be sponsored by CoverGirl. Why else would she use only their products and have them for a giveaway? This is one thing that has made me dislike Allison as of late....she's not being honest in her disclaimers and seems really shady about it

Re: Amarixe
Ughhhhh what's the loophole with this one? This is obviously a sponsored video. As soon as she started using Cover Girl products I knew something was up.

Re: Amarixe
Okay, I'm officially done with her. I can't deal with all of these gurus being dishonest about sponsorship. I don't care if they're sponsored, but don't BS me—I'm not an idiot. And she will do anything she can to divert attention away from people thinking that it's sponsored... in the video she mentions that she's going to use the clump crusher mascara that WE recommended (not because the company sent it to her for free), and then the giveaway at the end, AGAIN, so that comments people write calling her out about being sponsored get drowned by the giveaway entries.
I used to think Allison was different, but nope. She's just like Ingrid and everyone else. There are honest gurus on YouTube that make it a point to be transparent about PR samples and don't rely on pure sponsorship to make money from YouTube, so please don't give me any of that "she's gotta make a living" nonsense. I wouldn't have a problem with what she's doing if she was HONEST about it.
Also, "liking" the video is one of the rules for the giveaway, of course. More likes = more money. Gross.

I used to really like Allison. I thought she was cute and genuine. it's so disappointing to see gurus you used to like turn into complete sell outs.

Re: Amarixe
Exactly because if they aren't honest about a video being sponsored and/or when they are sent a product for free it makes me question everything they say....so I don't believe product reviews at all from people like allison who don't talk about their sponsorships/free shit they get sent.FAKEBLOOD wrote:I wouldn't have a problem with what she's doing if she was HONEST about it.
And seriously...I don't even like Ingrid, but I swear the past couple months Allison has styled her videos and edited so similar to Ingrid's...even down to the creepy smiles in some of the thumbnails. Allison used to be so much more original in her videos and seems like she is just either not enjoying it anymore or having issues with her creativity

Re: Amarixe
Allison wants the views that Ingrid has, which could explain why she's trying to make her videos closer to Ingrid's style.

Re: Amarixe
She sure photoshops herself to death in photo's. I think her decieving thumbnails are the only reason people even click, then you see the actual video and her makeup sucks. She's incredibly boring, not very pretty, and a liar. Great combination! I don't know why these girls hide sponsorships, people would take them seriously if they were upfront, but hiding it just makes it seem like they have no problem with being dishonest.

Re: Amarixe
Her tutorials are nauseating. From the horrible songs she choses to the "poses" of her look.. Oh and not to mention the whole video was one big advertisement for Cover Girl. "I'm not affiliated with the brand". OK BS Allison... Since when does she use all Cover Girl? In her previous vids the only CG I saw her use was an eyeliner... I hate how her and Ingrid pretty much make all of their makeup tutorials into giveaways...

Re: Amarixe
They all follow the same recipe for making videos:
• Amp up the saturation on the camera so everything looks blindingly bright
• Have a candle/candles burning
• Play Alex Goot's (or some other random cheesy artist's) music in the background
• Talk in the most syrupy sweet voice you can muster
• Smile like a goof and do awkward poses for the whole video
• "Animate" the products
• Use a cutesy font
• Do a giveaway to try and conceal the fact that the video is sponsored
Did I miss anything?

You said it! I've always found her to be very odd-looking (not in a good way) when she doesn't have makeup on. And I know that's terrible to say, but meh.clairebear wrote:She sure photoshops herself to death in photo's.

Re: Amarixe
I always thought she looked better without makeup. I can't remember, it's been so long since I've watched her without makeup, but she did have eyecircles that needed concealing but other than that she always struck me as very naturally beautiful. The heavy eye makeup she always wears really ages her.

Re: Amarixe
Omg. I used to love Allison's videos but I can't stand it anymore.
Stop dancing your products around and opening your eyes and mouth so wide. It's not a flattering look (to everyone, in general).
The moment I saw that all the products she used was from CG, I took a look at the info bar to see if this was sponsored by CG, but nope, nothing written there. Sadly, I'll only watch the videos that she posts on AllisonVlogs because her cutesy act (like Ingrid) is getting on my nerve. And this is coming from a girl who has been watching Allison's video since she started

Re: Amarixe
I don't even click on her videos anymore. It's sad that she's become so shady about her disclaimer. I used to think she was one of the more honest gurus. Clearly I was wrong.

Re: Amarixe
It's painfully obvious that her grammy (covergirl) tutorial is sponsored. I personally think FTC must be a joke, no one follows it or gets in trouble. The most dishonest people on youtube don't follow it and they are the most popular... it's disheartening.
