About Laura Farrant
Lives in UK

I am a 29 year old digital research manager for Yahoo and I blog in my spare time. I would love to be able to blog full time but I have a long way to go before I get to that stage. I love cosmetics, I love beauty and I want to get fully immersed in the industry.

Something not commonly know about Laura Farrant
This is a difficult one :) This is related to what I have discussed. I previously used to be incredibly shy - unable-to-give-talks/presentations-shy and never thought I would overcome it. In the last 5 years this has completely changed. In my job I give sales and research presentations on a weekly basis and obviously though YouTube I am presenting to my subscribers. It might sound trite but 10 years ago I could never imagine how confident I would feel doing things like that.

Blog overview
So many blogs just regurgitate PR and within social media that`s considered bad from. I am known for being honest and I know that a lot of people base purchasing decisions upon whether I like or dislike a product. I am therefore seen as a truthful blogger and that makes my content stand out.

History of the blog
I started the blog about 1 year ago. It sits side-by-side with my YouTube channel and discusses similar content. To that end it also attracts a similar audience base - young females in the UK and USA who are interested in beauty products. It is now extremely popular. I regularly get 40 comments + per post, at least 10,000 page impressions a day, which suggests a good returning rate in terms of readers.

Future plans for the blog
I love blogging and just want to make my blog even better and even more influential within the beauty blogging industry. I plan to redesign and move it to Wordpress in the future, purchasing a domain that will redirect people to a new, bigger and better site.

Additional exposure in the press
I have been featured in the Metro, the London Paper and Company Magazine. This is on the back of my YouTube channel - lollipop26. I am also in talks for a TV programme/feature so fingers crossed!
