Her eyes are actually really brown. I was thinking she had typical brown/black eye color, but for filming her Korean Makeup Haul indoors in natural lighting, they still come off as a true brown.

Her two cities vlog was so boring. Most of it was just her talking in her hotel rooms. Her parents are quite cute though

[witheverymove]

^^ Very boring indeed, basically a filler video or preview video before her coachella vlog. She's making a habit out of going to events and not uploading relevant content in a timely manner a la NYFW. Nobody cares about coachella anymore, this is supposed to be her job yet she's crap at keeping deadlines for herself. She's also doing another make up tutorial? WHY? she's crap at make up and doesn't even want to do the video. She just wants to keep her minions happy.

I wish she would do more videos styling one item in a variety of ways. Pick one boring every day "staple" or something extravagant or over the top and show how to make it work for different styles. Make it a weekly thing and then intersperse them with her other typical videos. That "watch me style" video once a week with one of her inventible sponsored videos like her seasonal lookbooks or week in outfits and alternate that with a weekly vlog and do monthly sponsored hauls/favourites/tag videos. Then find a new weekly video idea every 6 months or something. Viola varied content that satisfies true followers, brands and minions alike.

As someone in the Michelle Phan thread told me: "Girl, get out of here with that logic of yours!"

I've been complaining about that same issue for a while now. She doesn't post videos that are all the relatable. It's just "Look at me in all the free clothes I get." But ultimately, she's not going to suddenly make useful content. Even her "WWJW" videos are sponsored to hell and back. She's got almost 900,000 subs last I checked. She's got enough suckers that it's money in her pocket regardless of what video it is. She didn't start doing monthly favorites until about a year ago and she started because they're easy to do, easy to bullshit, and easy money. She sold out right after Sarah left, plain and simple.

[touchdownjesus]

The use of the fish-eye lens on her new vlog really annoyed me unexpectedly. Anyone else? It's obvious she thought it was just so cool and couldn't get enough of it, but watching the video with all this distortion was kind of disorienting. And using a fish-eye lens it's just so hipster, of course Jenn would do it. But, even worse, it's so clear that Jenn is so full of herself, even in her vlogs! You can just tell with the way she behaves or plays up for the camera that she thinks she looks good. So annoying.....

Haha, yes. I agree with everything you said. When I first came across Sarah and Jenn they revived my hope for youtubers, they were different. Sarah was in my opinion stylish and Jenn wore trends well. They thrifted and uploaded regularly and with good quality but after Sarah left things went way downhill. I kinda respect Sarah more for leaving now. I'm sure she left to study on her school work but I'm sure she's thanking herself for getting out before she got corrupted by greed and ego.

When I first watched clothes encounters, it was when Sarah was there. I liked how they thrifted and didn't spend so much money on clothing because let's face it: most of us aren't loaded with money when we're in school. It was something fresh and there was enthusiasm. I thought Jenn was prettier because she is conventionally pretty and her looks remind me of a close friend and her bubbly personality got me but I liked Sarah too. She was more my style and to an extent, closer to me personality-wise... and her plans for college and stuff like that. After they split, I didn't really pay much attention to their channel. These days, definitely not me. I'm not digging the 90s revival/hipster Jenn.

[saywhatyouwanttome]

She's a walking talking billboard. I genuinely thought her new 5 closet staples video wouldn't be sponsored but, yup, it is.
Everything she wears is an advertisement for some company who's given her the clothes for free.

^ I can't imagine how much she charges for a sponsored video. Probably in the 5-10k range. Missglamorazzi gets 18k. (Proof on her board)

[saywhatyouwanttome]

Seriously?! I had no idea! I wouldn't be surprised if Jen charged hearing that. Youtubers reeaallyyy rake it in don't they??

[Coyote]

I don't think it's that much if even at all right now. She's not at the same level as Missglamorazzi and the companies that sponsor her aren't that big. The biggest I can think of offhand is Runway Bandits and they sponsor other fashion YTers and bloggers as well. Anyone wanna take a shot at listing the companies?

[Username]

^ you're underestimating how much no name companies are willing to pay to get their name out there. She may not be as big as Missglamorazzi but her audience is still huge. 5-10k is VERY cheap advertising. Back in the early days of the YT beauty community, no name companies would offer in the low thousands for gurus to feature their products in guru videos and this was when the beauty community was relatively small and bigger gurus we're getting only less than 100k views. There was proof on the old GG that hollyannaeree was paid 16k for a sponsored video and back then she was getting 150-200k views. With Jen's views (200-300k) she is easily offered AT least 5-10k. It pisses me off, but that's life.

I forgot to mention the company that paid hollyannaeree was a no name company.

I wonder why she is in Singapore right now. Looks like a hosted event of sorts, but I have to admit... I am totally jealous.

Off topic, I know... but thanks! that's insane. Here's the link if anyone else was curious http://www.gurugossiper.com/viewtopic.php?f=73&t=9382

Supposing that she is making that much per sponsored video (and they're all sponsored now) I'm inclinded to think she's comfortable money-wise, but the amount of taxes she has to pay takes a good chunk away from her. There's a number of write-offs she can make as well in the way of clothes. I just woke up and my brain is foggy but I'm curious now about the tax laws surrounding YT and external revenue. I'm going to do some reading this weekend

Longtime Lurker, FIrst time Posting.

She totally does dope, at least socially acceptable drugs. (Molly, LSD, Weed, Mushrooms and possibly even Adderall) I have no qualms with that, because I have no problem with letting loose. But she admitted to going to Burning Man (A notorious drug festival that is full of psychedelics that you can do to your hearts content.) She attends Coachella which is also known for its drug scene. I dont think she's an addict by any stretch, but honestly a hypocrite. I know the type of person she is... the type of recreational user who looks down upon users of non socially exceptable drugs(heroin, crack, crystal, etc.) while maintaining this young party lifestyle of hers that is so much more "glamorous" than theirs. I have been in the depths of addiction and have met every user there is to meet. Im not trying to sound like Im bragging by any stretch, but trying to shed some light on an issue I feel a lot in this community have never and should never experience.

Like I said, I have no issue with her drugging, but she has a holier than thou type ora about her and a "bad girl" persona she tries so desperately to maintain (With her always talking about loving whiskey, a harder a drink most girly girls wouldnt touch.) I dont know, I hope that didnt come out as pointless, but her personality bugs me.

She just posted this on IG:

Thank you to all my incredible Singaporean supporters who came out to my last minute meet and greet. We were forced to cut it short because security said we needed a permit! I wish I got to meet all of you. I promise I will hold a proper one when I come back. I had a beautiful time in your country. Until next time. I love you all!

Something that I never could/can understand is why her followers give her gifts? Or why any follower gives any guru gifts. Their views are basically what is lining the 'gurus' pockets with cash. Jenn is making some thousand of dollars for sponsored stuff, getting free stuff all together, and traveling to events for free. Why are people giving her gifts? I almost feel like she should be doing a giveaway as a thanks. Has she ever done that?

I think to many of those girls she's more than a girl who does youtubers. She's almost like an idol or a celebrity to them. I personally don't get it but it's cool to see how big she's become. Sometimes it makes me wonder what if Sarah was still doing videos with her, how would things play out.

[cocaine]

I don't like hipsters, therefore, I don't like Jenn.
