I really enjoy Cassie. I wouldn’t buy 95% of what she likes, but her channel offers a good variety of content, she’s crystal clear about what is a sponsorship, and she has been transparent about the fact she gets merchandise credit from places like Farfetch. Plus, I appreciate that she buys across all categories.
The one comment I will make about Minks4all (and I like her and a lot of her content) is that she is doing sponsorships.
Polene sending her bags (plus I’d be surprised if she wasn’t being compensated), the second life jewelry she promotes, etc., all seem to be sponsorships of some type. She just doesn’t do the Lilysilk, Senreve, and Farfetch that everyone else does. So unless she’s making a million dollars a year, I’d be very surprised if she was bringing in less than six figures a year from her channel.
One of my favorite YouTubers is SmokeyGlow. She’s a commentary and make-up channel, but occasionally she talks about luxury brands.
