    I don't like doing these kind of videos, but I know you guys appreciate when we have these kind of chats, where I let you into my thought process.
    I love you, and don't forget that you are worth all the good things

      You can always tell that you're being sincere and transparent in your reviews, and you can see that you are so appreciative of any items that are sent to you. I don't understand why people would have problems with you having expensive things, you obviously put a lot of time and effort into youtube and social media so there's no reason you shouldn't get perks for the work you do! And as you said, there are more affordable ways to get similar looks, whether that's saving up or waiting for the sales, finding similar items in 'high street' shops, using ebay/facebook selling groups etc or thrift shops or just some DIY and customization. Pay no heed to the people out there making you feel like you need to explain yourself to strangers on the internet! Why should they feel entitled to anything from you? The rest of us appreciate you sooooo much (even if we are a bit jealous of all the shoes)

      ReeRee Phillips anyone who tries to put you down for having nice things is just jealous. at the end of the day anyone who watches your videos can tell you work your but off and devote as much time as possible into these videos so why shouldn't you receive nice things that you love for doing that ? . I dont understand how anyone could be upset by that . I love seeing your different looks and styles ( although I'm in Scotland so I would need an extra couple of layers haha)
      sorry for the ramble I just felt the need to let you know that :)
      p.s you are amazing and I love your videos xD

      Do you that you could also help a company improve a certain product example a manual. Earn a few bucks, receive few free items their brand name.
      Based, on posting honest comments on youtube. This ain't fake it's true.
      Happended, on my other youtube channel posted my first video which ain't 1080p quality. About a few years later, 3 to be exact one of the two big names in automotive repair sent me a personnel message asking what I would like to see added in new updated revised edition in one of their books. Just, have answer about hour questionaire once done they sent me about $50 bucks and two of their items with their logo on it as a thankyou.
      This automotive company book is what I personnelly own and used. Shows that honesty is worth something.

Thanks for addressing the swatch thing, we get complains on how "it doesn't look on me the same way that it looks on the swatch" so it really makes me happy to see you talking about this so transparently🖤 We love you Ree, you are amazing 🌹

    Please don't get upset Ree Ree, I had the same childhood and feel the same way about my things, I don't have a lot of money, I don't have a job (having three kids 2 with autism and suffering from 3 incurable illnesses fibromyalgia, CFS and POTS I cannot work) please never feel like you have to explain yourself, we love you in my house hold I have a little Ree Ree myself, given the nick name by sister when she was born (short for Valerie) (I think I've told you before?) and Everytime she sees you she points and smiles and says it's another me! (She just turned 3) my sons call you their dark friend, because we watch all your videos you bring joy to my children and to me, I hope this makes you smile and brings you joy, you change people's lives in ways you don't know. Much love to you and your little family xxx ps I hope Mr Philips is feeling better soon xx

      Dark-Stormy- Sky I know this is very random but I am have fairly recently, about a year ago, been diagnosed with POTS, EDS and MCAD. Would you mind speaking with me about what has worked for your little one and any tips and tricks you have. I am bedridden all day and I can't seem to catch a break. If you wouldn't mind you can find me on Facebook under: Charissa Noblett (Cook) or Instagram: mrs_noblett
      I understand If you are busy so don't feel pressured. My poor mother, bless her heart, spends so much of her time researching and talking to other mothers in groups I'm not allowed in. Any help at all is appreciated but again I completely understand if you are busy. Living with these conditions is horrid and I wouldn't wish it on anyone and I am so sorry your little one is going through it as well!!
      Sending all my love ans positive thoughts to you and your family.

    I never comment on videos but I really wanted to say I have the utmost respect for you. You deserve the sponserships and the endorsements and all the fans you have. And when you talked about not having things because you were poor as a child, I felt genuinely understood. My mum never had anything of her own because she worked herself to death getting the things I needed. I saved every penny to get the very few things that I have, like my shoes and a few Killstar items. You're my hope that things can get better and that maybe one day, I'll have a job I love and be able to enjoy the luxuries I've always wanted. Thank you, ReeRee. From the bottom of my heart.

    • @reereephillipsbeauty
      @reereephillipsbeauty  7 лет назад +1

    @KatieoftheNight 7 лет назад +9

    I have NEVER felt like you were showing off all your expensive clothes. In fact, the reason I found you in the first place was because I was trying to find a review of a Disturbia dress that addressed how the fabric felt, because I was thinking about buying it. It's always been obvious to me that all your pieces of clothing, shoes, etc. are considered by you to be ASSETS. You've always described them and worn them with a lot of reverence and respect. You treat them special. In you, I see gratitude, not flaunting. I love your collections, reviews, and lookbook videos. They are indeed inspiring to me. Please keep doing what you're doing! i'm sorry for the ignorant scrutiny you do get.

  • @AprilStreynj
    @AprilStreynj 7 лет назад +5

    As a viewer, I have no idea what goes on behind the camera, on a day to day basis for you so I really do appreciate and respect you for this video. I've never thought RUclipsrs receiving sponsorships was selling out because it's just a part of the business (depending on their channel). My respect for you has grown so much because of you standing up for your beliefs and I'm happy you shared that side of things with me.

  • @DanasLilMakeup
    @DanasLilMakeup 7 лет назад +3

    You are such a beautiful being, and i seriously appreciate how true to yourself you are. I always keep in mind what my mom used to tell me (this came to my mind when you said about the struggles of your childhood, to which i can totally relate) "people who has never worked for what they have, they don't know the value of what they have, therefore they put very little or no care at all in things, while people who knows the struggle to get even the smallest things, they care for them because it costed them sweat, tears and hard work." And i keep applying that to this day and has helped me in my life. Thank you for being honest and such an amazing person. I wish you lived in Ireland! Hehe, hugs darling.

    @Prettybitch666 7 лет назад +4

    I grew up the same way & even find myself going to the dollar store because I'm so used to it. Honestly there's a difference between being arrogant about having money & actually appreciating it. Some get the luxury & instantly become twats about it. You have not & it's lovely.

  • @HufflepunkNya
    @HufflepunkNya 6 лет назад

    When you got emotional I started getting emotional. I grew up and had hard times as well, and I can relate. When you have nothing and then get something nice you can almost feel guilty for having it, and you try to take good care of it because you don't take it for granted but people think you're just being frivolous or something. People make you feel bad either way. As someone who's still trying to get stable, I'm very happy for you that you've got to a point in your life where you can work in the job you love and say no to money that goes against your beliefs and still be stable and have enough to get nice things for yourself and your family. It's not something I'd ever begrudge anyone. It's something I hope we all can get to someday. I like seeing you enjoy yourself and express yourself creatively through wardrobe and makeup choices, even if I couldn't afford the exact items (or, frankly, look as good in them) because I just like seeing you share with us. I'm sorry that your partner had to work such a shit job, too, but it sounds like you're both better off and stronger for the experiences. Have a good day!

  • @Arielapetraglia
    @Arielapetraglia 7 лет назад +7

    This was a very honest video :) Really appreciated.
    You touched a point where I had to agree - The fact that you're always wearing expensive branded clothing and that's not really reachable. Well, I have to admit, you're clothing videos work for me as "admiration" only. I like to admire you're outfits and awesome stuff you have, but I know I can't reproduce it myself with the money I get.
    It's not your fault, but I would really enjoy more if you could sometimes do a "low budget" gothic lookbook/outfits or something like that, so we can still have your awesome fashion taste in a more "buyable" version :)
    Anyways, keep the awesome job you do :*

  • @sarahbrowning7561

I try to give my children everything i never had. Thank you for being so honest and truthful with your chanel whilst not losing yourself in the process of becoming such a well known youtuber. I think i speak for everyone when i say we respect you more knowing this and bless you husband for trying to support you and your child knowing it was probably so crippling mentally for him at that time; my blokes just got outta a job due to the same reasons as your husbands. Much love mama and sending love to you and your family. keep up with the awesome work your doing a epic job ❤💀❤💀😘

    @stefanymcclain7457 7 лет назад

    Ree Ree I know this is an older video, but I am watching each video on your channels playlist, and I just have to say that I respect you more than ever for your honesty, not giving up your values and beliefs for money, and having such a strong backbone. Towards the end when you was talking about growing up poor, and how you take care of the stuff you have earned and worked hard for, really hit home with me. I too, grew up poorer than some people, and when I would get nice things I learned to cherish those things, take care of those things, ad appreciate having whatever it was that I would get. It scares me now, being 7 months pregnant at 31, my first ever child, I want to be able to give her nice things but I am still not made of money. I just hope she grows up to appreciate a persons hard work to be able to afford the nicer things in life and see that material things doesn't make a person, that being a good person and standing up for yourself and what you believe in, will get you further in life than having a million "things". Thank you for this honest heart felt video Ree Ree!

    This video was amazing. I really love seeing this side of you, makes it a lot more real. That last bit when you talk about how you appreciate your shoes and clothes due to the past...wow, it hit home. I'm the same. as a kid I had to wear my brother's oversized clothes, and now I hoard shoes and Gothic clothes. I do struggle as a recent graduate from a masters degree, yet I still want to spend my money on gorgeous velvet coats etc. it's what makes me happy and feel unique. I have severe social anxiety. I don't have any friends as I don't trust people, therefore these things are my joy and when I dress up I get confidence to kind of be able to go to the shop...I think my online presence is way more social than the reality. I would love to have your job but I don't know if I could ever make it. I really love watching your videos and I love your style and looks, you are sooooooo beautiful, kind and we'll spoken. Thank you for sharing this, without you ever realising it, you do give me confide. Take care of your beautiful self :) xx

We try so hard to copy the latest fashion and look the same. I've struggled so hard to find myself but to hear you speak of who you are, you you have and what you worked for and.co tune to do so, makes you a remarkable and wonderful women whom I'm glad I happened upon. I wish I could meet you and hug you. Watching you these past few wks has helped through a rly tough time and I hope that our words reach you in your time of need. Love you so much xXx

    I love you so much, I say it all the time but this video proves it. You are so candid and so raw and in the 8 years I have been watching youtube I appreciate that so much. I can't tell you the amount of people I have unsubscribed from within Christmas to now, because they make it big and just go crazy. They take all of the sponsors and lie to us as if we are dumb enough to believe it. You can tell which people are completely acting out of character and trying to sell us something they probably never even used, seeing you be raw and real and just give us exactly what we expect, which is honesty and authenticity is so refreshing. You are such a precious person and I will always continue to support you. Keep being who you are and everything will be alright. Love you. -AnnaNicole p.s. you look beautiful from every angle. xo

    Back when I was alternative modeling full time many years ago, things were so different. It was much harder to make money. We didn't have RUclips (barely getting started) and MySpace was the big platform. We mainly promoted ourselves via personal websites and that was hard. There was no instagram. LiveJournal was helpful, and Facebook, but the community was scattered. You could get paid for shoots, but fairly little, mostly you were paid in clothing/product/exposure. I think it's wonderful that RUclips and Instagram have made it possible to actually get paid. I hope young models and performers will take advantage of it, but like you're saying, in an ethical manner (in other words, not filtering their faces when promoting makeup, etc). I've moved on from that life, but I'm happy to see it grow, although I'm sad paper magazines are going the way of the dinosaur. I guess everything changes. Good luck, ReeRee. 🖤

    This was a wonderful video that I felt touched my soul. It was better that it was unscripted and emotional. You are honest and forthright and your background makes you the wonderful, principled person you are today. I am such a fan. Thank you so much for your videos here on RUclips, you are really a wonderful content creator and I hope you stick around for as long as you feel it is fulfilling to you.

    Don't let ppl who tell you you're clueless get you down. You worked for what you have, and yes a lot of things are sent to you by companies, but they send them to you because you have a big following on YT, and you have that following because you worked hard for it.
    I love (we love) seeing your look books, seeing the outfits you put together (I'm terrible at that btw so seeing other ppl's helps xD) and how certain clothes look on you.
    There are a lot of jealous and unhappy ppl out there who only feel better when they are bashing someone else...don't let them get to you.

    you have a lovely soul, you stay true to your beliefs and that's something people admire you for, my childhood was similar to yours and i myself now collect clothes, everything i own is kept in mint condition, i think growing up not having much makes you appreciate what you have later on in life xx

    All of your thoughts and expressions make so much sense and are taken at great value. You have made everything so coherent and simple in this video, and it means so much to see the full extent of your emotions and how much you truly care. Your experiences are valid and it is so beautiful and refreshing to see a youtuber so humble and human. Thank you for staying true to not only your viewers, but to yourself as well. We support you and love you so much, and I personally love to see you thriving with your beautiful(and massive)shoe collection. I hope you are having a wonderful summer day and remember how much you mean to every one of us. Stay spooky 💕🕸

    Everyone passes judgment on others everyday whether it is good or bad but they are not you and will never understand what you have been through. Ultimately, whatever negative comments are made it says more about them than it does about you. Thankfully we have the chance to follow someone who is willing to be honest even when not obliged to. You are a beautiful soul.

    Oh my goodness ReeRee hun you are just a beautiful soul indeed. I am humbled by your kindness, it definitely shows. While being poor or in my case homeless wasn't the best part of my life, I truly believe it makes us better and more caring and we definitely appreciate what we have more because we know we were once without💜I love you even more now. Could you be any more awesome!?

    The very reason I have subscribed to you and watch your videos is your honest reviews of products and the fact that you will not compromise on that. I feel there are far too many youtubers willing to do some crazy things for a little extra money or free things.

I take care of the close I have knowing that money does not come easy. Thank you for everything you do on your channel!!!

    You speak so well, I really appreciate your elocution. You accent is fairly similar to mine so I really enjoy that amongst the sea of American accents on YT. While I'm not goth, I enjoy It's Black Friday and I found you through Avelina De Moray. I dig you both.
    Edit: I know what kind of person you are. You're genuine, loyal, dignified and trustworthy. You have principles, standards and you are strong. I admire your character and I almost never see that in other RUclipsrs.

  • @serendipity9404

    Really enjoyed this chat video. Thank you for explaining what happens behind the scenes between social media individuals and companies. It's fascinating how far some companies will go to get an endorsement from certain folk.
    I don't understand why some people persist with their requests for lip swatches. I don't see it being a helpful way to know the 'true' colour. Hand/arm swatches are more than enough. I always thought cosmetic companies photoshop their 'swatches', especially when you see the same lips with 20=30 colours.
    All the best with your next surgery. Hoping it's a smooth and speedy recovery for you ღ

    You're so beautuful inside and out! that makes me so happy every time I watch your videos, like, there are human beings on this plantes that think the way that I consider the 'right' way or have the same values and beliefs on some things, not only the part with animal testing but also just your honesty :3
    also, even if it doesn't fit to the topic at all: I'm currently learning the English language and even if it sounds strange, I learned so many nice expressions from you because you just talk in such a beautiful kind of way! therefore, thank you for that also ^^

    now that I'm older, I can afford nice enough clothing and shoes. (I buy clothes and shoes all the time ) I am extremely like you, in the fact that I didn't have these nice things when I was younger, (We shopped at charity shops for the most part, and I lived in a trailer ) so now I'm extremely grateful for the things I have now, and I take care of them meticulously. You have earned EVERYTHING that you have, and if someone doesn't see that, we'll that's their misfortune.

      I'm glad my whole family made it out. I admit that because of the way I grew up, I probably spoil my daughter a bit too much, but before every birthday, we do a closet and toy-box clean-out, where she donates a bag to the children's home.

    You deserve what you have, ReeRee. And its told to you by someone who worked for years over 12 hours a day for 6 Euro for an hour. I still struggle with money, but not so much as I did in my 20th. So when I saw this video, I have to write back and tell you, partically YOU deserve what you have. One very big reason is, because you are a very responsable influencer. And that is rare! Sorry for the mistakes, I'm from Germany. Still learning :)
