by Bianca Mendez

Makeup has been getting wild, but in a totally good way. From crazy colorful highlighters to face products that seem gimmicky yet are actually amazing, looking through the best beauty hauls by vloggers can help you find all your new favorite products. These are the picks hitting the market that make your beauty routine as much fun as that of any makeup- and hair-obsessed YouTuber, a.k.a. the people who get to try 'em all out first.

If you’re ever in the mood for spending money on the best new beauty products, I highly recommend binge-watching beauty hauls on YouTube. If you’re totally new to the scene, these are basically videos where bloggers present the newest and coolest products they picked up on a shopping trip. And while some are your basic lipsticks and eyeshadows, once in a while they’ll buy something that’s so crazy, you’ll want to try it too. But with so many kooky things and so many beauty vloggers, the list is so overwhelming for anyone who’s not too informed about the beauty market, which is why I’ve narrowed them the top innovative products that stand out from the pack.

Here’s a list of the beauty products trending on YouTube. You’ll find some cool makeup, life-changing skincare and unique hair products recommended by the top beauty bloggers. Get your wallets ready and beauty game face on!
