What sets you apart from everyone else is that you are a humble person. You keep it real and honest. Don't ever change that❤ "Humility is not thinking less of yourself, IT IS thinking of yourself less".
Usually posts like yours...like mine sometimes...make me cringe. But its so true. No bad after taste from a Wayne Goss video. Good on Ms Goss. I guess she broke the mold with Wayne.
Yea, I can totally relate to RUclipsrs who show off their money.....new houses....new cars....new clothes....designer bags and shoes without giving a flying f*ck for their subscribers and the people who helped them make it. I stopped watching them too as it felt like they were gloating somewhat. Not you Wayne, you are a delight!
Lynn Fenwick I'v unsubbed from most channels I used to watch...Mostly because they just seemed to buy, buy, buy and show off...everything, until it just became too sickening to watch. AND boring !!
Artlover This is why my new favourite kind of videos are the anti hauls, listening to them talk about what they are not going to buy, the reasons behind them, feels more down to earth. It's nice to hear someone say I don't need this new highlighter palette because I already have too many highlighters.
"She's had fuckall her entire life. And she deserves something..." I get what you're saying, but trust me, she's had YOU, and you are EVERYTHING she would ever need.
You're the most sincere and humble RUclipsr, and ultimately my favorite to watch. I make videos just for fun and expect nothing major from RUclips, but if I were to ever gain an incredible subscriber base, I would want to stay true to myself as you've shown is possible through this journey. Thank you for continuing to inspire me!
kimbro me too! I like doing videos everynow and then if i ever have time lol. It is enjoyable, i would want to have friends with whom i can talk to the way Wayne does here in his channel. I want to be able to talk with people and share like this like just talking to a family and close friends. Wayne is really wonderful
I grew up in an abusive home with an alcoholic father who would drink a good portion of his paycheck away; nevermind that the electricity bill was past due. We children were only allowed to have 1 pair of shoes the entire school year. As we became of working age, we were forced to work and give 1/2 our wages to our father just to see him drink it away. We were forced to pay for our own necessities (including medical and dental) with the remainder we kept. One summer I recall going to see the dentist because I had a terrible cavity. It was so bad that it required oral surgery to have it removed. I used all of my share of wages to pay the bill. When it came time to purchase school clothes for myself, I had no money. My parents didn't even offer to buy me an outfit. They said that I should've learned to spend my money more wisely. I was only 15. It really sucked. Later I'd ask if I could keep a little bit more of my wages to save for college and was told no. My father said that I could get grants to pay for it. I explained that not everyone qualified for grants and that I needed to save so I could pay for it. He then replied tough shit. Thank God my aunts allowed me to move in with them while I worked and worked and went to college. I finally have a degree and am forever grateful to my aunts for encouraging me to not give up.
Omg you 2 :( your stories brought tears to my eyes. The thought of a parent treating a child, THEIR child, like that...sickens me. Unfortunately I think it happens a lot :(. I can't even fathom treating my son like that. I want to nurture him to grow into an amazing human. I'm so sorry you both had to go through such awful hardships especially at the hands of someone who's supposed to love and protect you. Much love to you both. I hope you have been able to NOT let it bring you down and conquer your spirit. xo
A Tr Your story.broke my heart as well. (I'm wiping away the tears as I type this). What's sad is I've always felt badly that I've struggled to pay bills and couldn't do more for my children. Granted, their lives weren't terribly tough (except for when I was extremely I'll for a but and then their dad got cancer). But in between those times they still were given things they as Ted here/there. To think that your father treated you like that is so sad to me. Even now we watch our only grandchild and I'd die for her. But I still feel badly because we live not too far from Disney World and we can't afford to take her. I'll never understand how a parent can treat their child so poorly?? At least when you have your own children I'm sure they will be treated wonderfully..
Zahra Ismail Call or email her from time to time. My hubs died when our daughter was 10 yrs old. She gave me problems from then on. I haven't heard from her since 2010. No cards or anything. We live in the same town!
Zahra Ismail So many young ppl takel their Moms & Dads for granted. I'm glad this helped open your eyes to appreciating your Mom more. So many of us just yearn to have had a Mom that was there for us. It's such an important relationship in our lives, and that relationship, whether good or bad, shapes so much of who we are. If one has been so blessed to have had considered that relationship to be a loving & nurturing one, then we musn't take it for granted, ever. Go give your Mom & BIG heartfelt & loving hug today, then look her deep in the eyes & tell her that you love her & that she means the world to you! I guarantee you, you WILL make her day...hell, her YEAR! & she will NEVER forget that moment, EVER. She will hold it in her heart as one of her most cherished memories of her life, & you will feel so good in your heart knowing that you gave her that blessed gift.
Utoober729 Yes, she should have reached out to you, but, may I ask why you would go so long, as a Mother, to not reach out to your own child? Relationships are a two way street. I certainly don't know the circumstances & all the dynamics of your relationship with your daughter, but have you done some soul searching and ask yourself why she might have distanced herself from you? Were you emotionally there for her and in support of her after her father died? I'm not trying to point fingers, I'm just saying it's important to understand the dynamics of the relationship and how both of you are responsible for the disconnect in your relationship.
Hit the nail in the head! I'm so sick of certain youtubers and their blogs where they get to go on the red carpet and their exotic vacations. Their brand name shoes and bags and their new homes!! If I wanted to see shit like that I would watch the Kardashians, there's enough selfish TV shows out there. Not interested. Whatever happened to being humble? And if you got it why do you have the need to flaunt it? Maybe they aren't completely happy as they want to make it seem.
SangriainTO so true! stay humble Wayne....it really showcases your genuine live of others & your true passion for your work & those around you. those who are blessed should be blessings to others & you are obviously meant to be on YT to make a difference in the world💕😙
SangriainTO Yes! The next time I see another YTber accumulate another designer bag, I'll be sick. I've been turned off Fleurdeforce et al for that very reason. It's shocking indulgence.
You didn't have to share your story but you did and I love that. Thank you for cutting through the facade that RUclips can put up. I love the honesty and the transparency you have in every single video. I'm sure you'll reach your goal!
I never ever ever comment. However I am a huge fan of your work. I follow a lot of beauty 'gurus' and I had to say Wayne Goss, Thank you!! What a beautiful 'mother's day sentiment' without even meaning it to be. I appreciate your genuine comments on this matter. Way to work hard for a goal. I have confidence you'll someday get it!! What a great role model you are too. Thank you!!!
After watching a few youtube video's today of people whose lifestyles are so far out of my range and are spending their money buying the most expensive cars, designer jewelry and designer clothes I began to feel really depressed....I started to equate happiness with having all of that stuff......thanks for rebooting me and getting me back on track that while nice things are nice, there's a bigger picture we sometimes lose sight of and I so appreciate that you took the time to share this.
I was raised dirt poor. I was raised by people who didn't want me nor did they ever love me (yes biological parents). All my childhood we had to move every 6 months cause we couldn't pay bills. I got kicked out at 12 years old and worked 2 jobs under the table to pay for rent in a two bedroom apartment. That was shared between 7 people and I. At 14 I moved back in with my biological parents because they said hey we are leaving this town and area and if you don't come with us then you are stuck here. That scared me because they were all that I knew. So I moved with them. I was still working but they had me paying a portion of rent for my bedroom and I was to pay the whole electric bill. Just to stay in the apartment they were in. I paid it and my own food, shampoo, razors. I mean the essentials to live. 4 days after turning 17 I became pregnant with my daughter. Month later I told my mum after I realized pregnancy wasn't the flu. She had me kicked out 3 hours later. Giving me only 3 hours to pack all my things and be gone before my father came home. He didn't want to see me and she didn't want to see me. She fought with me when I was moving out but not because I was pregnant or leaving but because I was taking a mirror that I had paid for and still have to this day. Though she tried taking it from the truck bed 3 times. I still left with it. Flash forward 9 years which is today. I have a beautiful 8 year old daughter. A son who is almost 1 year old and was planned. My husband and I are looking to buy houses that are so expensive and lush. We keep looking at these houses thinking we can't afford this but yet here we are. We have always been dirt poor and now we are able to buy a house. My car isn't brand brand new. It's 10 years old but it's gorgeous. My children have useless things that I think are amazing. Like a fairy princess room. The reason I'm writing all of this is I feel as though the moment I was born I had to work. I had to fight to have schooling and is actually the reason why I got a job. Once my biological parents saw I had money and was buying books they decided I needed to pay them. So there is that but I've always worked. I had to grow up at a ridiculous age. I enjoy life anyway that I receive it and yet I see people my age complaining about money, cars, houses, boys, girls, this and that. Here I am just happy not to be dirt poor. I'm thinking about owning a home that my grandchildren will get to spend the night in the same room and bed my children slept in. Thats my dream. That's my goal. I don't need trips, clothing, cars or whatever else. Just this dream. I also want to thank you for being an inspiration. Someone that I eagerly watch every time I see you've uploaded a video and have gotten to know better through out the years. You've made me love makeup not just to cover my acne which is how my makeup journey started but to bring out the beauty in every person who asks me "hey, can you do makeup." With the knowledge I've obsorbed from you I know different skin types, what works and what doesn't, that brushes are your most important tool and to be quick and straight to the point. So thank you.
JustineHaviland What an amazing story and you sound like such a strong and intelligent woman to have overcome all the hardships that you did. Bravo to you and I have no doubt you will achieve your goals!
Justine Haviland I just read all of that with my mouth wide open. I had similar painful childhood situations where I had to think and work far beyond what was normal for my age and I've wanted to quit so many times but it really gives me hope when I read stories like this that it will get better. thank you for sharing your story on here.
Justine Haviland God bless you. I think you've had an Angel on your shoulder, to help you be strong & rise above your circumstances. NO child should EVER have to endure what you've had to! You have, and will continue to be, an AMAZING Mom to your two beautiful children & offer them a life filled with adoration, deep love, gentle & patient guidence, and most of all, the emotional security of knowing that you will ALWAYS be there for them, no matter what. Endorse yourself! for all you have risen from, and all you continue to be able to accomplish in your life. May you continue to always have an Angel on your shoulder, helping to guide the way, dear one. 🙏
Thank you for doing this video. I am a single Mom too and I the last few years I have been having health problems so financially things have been hard on my daughter and myself. It helps hearing that I am not alone and that things will be okay. What you are doing for your Mom brings tears to my eyes. Blessings to you and blessings to your Mom for raising such a nice and lovely son. You always put a smile on my face when I watch your videos...you're such a cutie 😊
Wayne has a quality hard to find these days--humility. I love his work ethic. He loves his mother so much and wants to see her comfortable. What a beautiful person he is. Never change, Wayne. ❤️️
Wayne you my dear are a diamond in the rough these days. It's so unbelievably heartwarming to hear how humble you still are. It's very hard to really connect with RUclipsrs now a days because everything has to be perfect, well edited with a whole film crew etc.. and it just blows my mind. I don't take away the hard work that goes into making videos but I don't think people really are getting the real person behind the lens a lot of the time. Thank you for staying humble and still having a goal of taking care of whats most important in life, family. I wish you all of the love and support to make that goal a reality. Stay sweet!
Thank you honey. Honestly, today i watched the most beautiful video from a youtuber. It was stunning. But the film was a 'crew'. 3 cameras easy, edited professionally. I mean, good for them. But i don't have that luxury. No team sadly. I agree everything looks so stunning and professional now. It scares me to be honest. Thank you for your lovely comments xxxx
I am crying watching this. What an absolutely beautiful human being you are Wayne. Never change and be very proud of who you are. But you won't because you are too humble. You are loved!♥️♥️♥️♥️
One word comes to mind and it's "AUTHENTIC!!!" Your life and my life mirror each other and I'm tired too. Fortunately my hard work has paid off and now I can take care of my dad and I want that for you too so even though I know you didn't make this video for this reason I'm heading to wherever I need to go to buy your brushes because I would rather my money go for good brushes and to a good person and to help you and your mum be together than to be used for something less admirable..Lastly, you have a voice here and you can help young people and even old people like me reach their goals. You can love makeup without it becoming something ugly and over the top! Hoarding is a huge problem here in the states and I'm glad you are addressing it!
This is why I still watch you years later. You haven't changed. I skip so many videos from people now who i used to watch and get excited about everytime they popped up in my subs. I'm happy they're successful but gosh it's changed them and as you said they're lives are so far removed now that I can't relate and their personalities have changed along with that. It's a shame. I hope you get to your goal, I believe in you!
Thank you. That is why I borrowed over $200,000 to become a doctor in business so I could provide for my mother and family. Some say I am crazy, maybe, but I hope too, just like you, that one day before my mother dies, I own a beautiful home. I would love to own some Tom Ford makeup, but the Ordinary and Revlon work well for me. Thank you for your story and goals. I like it all.
I'm totally in awe of you, Wayne!! Thank you for continuing to be so real, so humble and so incredibly kind! Keep being you, and only you, because you're pretty dang awesome!
Wayne, as a ethnic gay man living in Australia, your story strikes a chord in my heart! You really do inspire me ALOT, writing this getting almost teary but I know what hard work means when youre literally scraping the bottom of the barrel.....
I truly teared up watching that , it's so heartwarming how much love you have for your Mum , she has raised you well Wayne , you're hardworking , sincere , humble and honest and I for one ( among thousands I'm sure ) love your brushes , they are the best I've ever tried , no bull ! I so hope you reach your goal and soon , you deserve everything you've worked to get and you are one of my favourite YT's , I can always rely on you for great content and honest reviews plus you make me laugh :) Sending lots of love and well wishes to you from Ireland ( & a bit of luck too xxx )
Wayne your Mum must be so incredibly proud of you! I have no doubt that you will achieve your goal. My family were never well off we actually ended up homeless at one point down in Portsmouth. When I was bringing up my children I ended up in a lot of debt. I'll never forget the day my friend gave me her last £10 so I could get some food for the children. I worked 12 hour night shifts and did extra shifts on my nights off. I've recently sold my ( small) house in London and me, my daughter and son in law have all moved in together as they have no hope of getting on the property ladder otherwise. I've got the loft extension and joked I'll need a stairlift in a few years time! I absolutely loved watching this video so honest and open. Thank you for sharing. At the end of the day family is the most important thing.
I came from a privledged background...best school, best house in the most expensive street but my parents 'lost' most of the money before they died so there was little inheritance. Luckily I enjoy working hard and like you Wayne I have a goal. I met a wonderful man and all of our spare money goes into our children's education. My husband and I never go out for dinner, rarely go on holidays and have a very sedate lifestyle...and we are happy with this. Yes I could buy myself Chanel or Tom Ford (and sometimes I do spoil myself) but I would rather have the security of money in the bank and equity in our home. Unfortunately we are in a world where looks have become so important and borrowed money buys some people an extravagant lifestyle and these are the people who look down upon our lifestyle. Luckily I've learnt not to care what others think and am happy with what I've got. Good luck with moving your mum ❤ she must be very proud of you Wayne.
Watched you since I was 11 in 2009. 8 Years later and I'm still here! You're the only person I always come back for. If I want to buy some makeup, I check for your reviews on it. You're so amazing, strong, humble, watchable, inspiring and so much more! I'm glad you haven't changed like a lot of other RUclipsrs. Of course I've stayed till the end of the video because you are worth my time despite not knowing you in person. We are all here for you! I hope you reach your goal :)
Thank you for this Wayne. Over the past year I have really cut most of the beauty bloggers out of influence. I am really tired of the cattiness, boujeeness and lying. I really appreciate hearing stories like this because I can relate, I am sure that I am not the only one. You have solid material, artistry and a good heart. Thanks.
not only that but the excessive swearing like jstar. im so numb to hearing BLINDING, REALNESS, CUNTY, CMON, FLEEKY. this new wave of beauty is just sinful lol
Wow a person living in reality 🤗.. Very refreshing... you are a good son but sure if asked her she would say she's the lucky one!!! Thanks for just being a good human.
Wayne, you are such a genuine and lovely person! I'm sick of watching other You Tubers showing off their lifestyles/rooms/holidays etc. it's all fake I don't believe that they are truly 100% happy! xx
saralondon1986 true. And those lavish things come with a price of course. It is not all glitter and gold surely. Wayne is so different, i love him, so humble and sincere and a wonderful person. Ill never get tired of watching his videos
I never knew you were this humble Wayne. When you said "I feel tired" I feel you. I've reached an age where I now want to save for a house for me and my kids and for my pension. I spent all my money for years and years on just clothes, makeup, shoes... I regret that now I have to say! I also can't relate to this lavish RUclipsrs, their lives are so over the top and many of them display an almost vulgar need to constantly BUYBUY BUY & then SHOW OFF..😑 Loved this video - I hope you are able to help your mum one day xx
I promise I'm not crying......you are a treasure, a beautiful beautiful person. Love you and may God bless your hustle. I believe when you bless others good things come your way. Don't sell yourself short. Your mum was and is very rich.....she has you and for a mum it doesn't get any richer than that. I have had a tough 5 years lived in a 1 bed roomed house where the roof leaked and I used to have to get up and find a spot that doesn't leak. My boys had the bedroom. That was all that mattered. I now live in a home that newly built but like you I have a goal. I don't want my kids to be without a home because someone has the power to make them homeless. But I look at my boys and they are the most beautiful kids ever and they drive me. We are so poor materially, but for having each other we are rich. Sending blessings your way. May your mum's house come to fruition. You have inspired me. For everyday God gives me it is an opportunity to achieve good things. I am like a proud mum....but we are the same age 😆💕💕💕💕
I feel like now I need to go through every video you've ever made and rewatch and like them all so you can get a little boost in ad rev. #buymomahouse #reachthegoal
Lucie Taylor kind of, yes and no. He gets paid from the ads that play before/after his videos. So he'll get a certain amount for so many 1,000 views per video. And the more views and more likes his video gets, the more companies will pay to have their ads play before his videos. So this is a pretty easy and painless way to bump him up and get mom that house!
You are such a blessing for many reasons but what stands out to me is your genuine transparency. You encourage and speak to people not at them. As a 41 year old woman that has served my family, still raising them, 4 daughters yes 4.... I just started my own business, I'm scared and many times frustrated. You have such a great message of truth that hard as it may be is inspiring and a fresh breath in my sails when I was still.... thank you
This is embarassing...and I know that this video was probably hard for you to make...but at least you have a goal. Many don't. Myself included, and I never have. I envy people with goals, and it's so hard to get across that it's not like I don't want to have at least one goal, but I just draw a total blank when I think about things like what do I really want in life, where do I see myself in 5 or 10 years, etc. When I was a child, the only thing I truly remember ever really wanting when I grew up was to be married to the love of my life, and that it would be forever. Now, here I am at 46 and he hasn't shown up, so I gave up waiting. Im so happy that you're not a sell-out, Wayne. I've been a subscriber and a fan of yours for more than 4 years, and I truly adore your work, commitment, and overall philosophy. You are a genious, and your mother is so fortunate to have been blessed with such a son as you.
LYNNSTER1971 I don't think there is anything wrong with your goal. that's all most women want and we have to stop apologizing for it. it's society that makes us feel like we're nothing if we don't achieve and that is dead wrong. life is about relationships and joy not achievement.
LYNNSTER1971 the real goals are the only ones of importance....love God, love & help others... the rest will fall into place. Volunteering in diff areas may spark unknown interests & passions in case you feel like trying a diff approach :) maybe you will meet your soul mate that way too🌷💖 blessings to you for finding passions to help direct your path xo
I also, grew up without lots of money. I work 2 jobs & have my children & love them with every ounce of me. I love makeup, it lets me be creative, but my family comes first. I'm 42 & in school for nursing, later in life, but totally doing it, & doing it well! Honor Student! I understand you & you put a tear in my eye. I wasn't really going for the Alice Cooper look today, but it has happened. You reminded me of all the wonderful days I had growing up, all the wonderful days I have now, & all the wonderful days still yet to come. Money doesn't make you happy. You don't need money to have love & pure joy in your life. I love your message & what you stand for. I wish more people were like you in this world. Whatever happens in my future happens. I work hard, have a lovely family, & enjoy everyday. That's Beautiful! Thanks for this message. Have a wonderful day. Take Care Wayne✌✌✌
Congratulations on your nursing journey! I'm in nursing school and it amazes me every time I see a parent in nursing school. Those are the students in my class who get the best grades because they have little ones who are depending on them. Watching them makes me keep myself from whining because someone else has it much harder.
Llovelylady1 Awe, Thanks so much! It's definitely challenging at times, but I actually enjoy it. I've worked in a hospital for 20 plus years & probably should have done it earlier, but better late than never. Also, this teaches my kids what hard work means & what reward feels like when you earn it on your own merit. So, as I learn, I also teach which is super cool. Thanks dear & Take care✌✌✌
Krazi's Beauty View I went to nursing school as a single mom of 3 sons who were at the time, 3, 5, 7. I worked nights and weekends in a pediatric office. 21 years later I remain humbled and grateful. These are the stories like yours and @gossmakeupchat that matter, that the current generation of kids need to hear. No instant gratification but hard work! Blessings to you and yours!
Michelle Clements Davis I totally agree. These type of videos are truly meaningful. It was so courageous of Wayne to be vulnerable and to share his feelings and past with us. It touched my heart and made me love him even MORE🙂❤️
This is by far my favourite video that you have created, you have such a sweet and honest personality! I would love to see more videos like this, longer and more personal. 💓💓
I grew up very poor as well. Always had what I needed but that's it nothing extra. I had a son at age of 17 he pushed me to want to do better move away from the ghetto so he can go to a good school. I worked 3 jobs then but my son had everything he needed but my time. I finally found an awesome husband who cared for both of us and I am now down to one job 2 kids and they have everything they need and my time as well. Love your story Wayne
I grew up in a council house, with a mother whom I have nothing but praise for, I miss her more than words can express, I hope you get your Mam that house, I'm sure you will, but for her to know that getting her a house is your goal, well, in her heart, you have already done it, May God bless you both, but I think he already has
Wayne, I'm the type of person that never leaves comments on the videos, not because i dont like but because i dont really think it will make a difference... but today i had to because I totally agree with you, I have been watching you for the longest time, you inspired me to become a makeup artist and now I live my dream job. But to be honest i always feel a bit of a "loser" because the life some people have on social media and on youtube being an influencer is so "magical" that is hard not to feel bad about yours, especially in regards to their age, at 23, 24 they already have or show to have what we dont have at 33.. is so good to know that we can relate to you and you actually do have a normal life like most of us and its ok to be just like that. we love you! :)
I don't really leave comments, I am forever awkward, shy, and try my best to blend in. Also I am horrible at keeping things short and sweet. However, I just wanted to say that throughout the years of watching your videos, I have always seen a beautiful soul. From the way your eyes light up when you feel really passionate about anything you are talking about, to apologizing when you feel you have said something wrong, to just admitting to being a human with flaws as everyone else is and not coming off as a superhero with unrealistic powers. You did something extraordinary. You took every cent you had and took a chance, and you not only went for it, but you succeeded when some said it might not be wise. That can never be taken from you. When I watch your videos, I see something in you, always have. An humble kindness that unfortunately a lot of people lose when life happens, good or bad. I have a feeling that you were just born with it, or maybe it started at a young age for you and someone helped in the process. Please give your mother a kiss for me (all the way from Houston Texas), for getting it right when she raised you. And you, I love hearing these stories, I honestly just love hearing your kind voice in general. My parents grew up poor, living with rats because of holes in the floors, my mother's childhood home deemed unlivable and condemned, my dad getting his first full time job at 6 to help support his family, when I was a child my parents had their money issues. Choosing which bills to pay that month. During the winter one year, my mother would get up extra early to heat up the oven where we ate our breakfast sitting on chairs facing the warmth, getting dressed and our hair brushed before school. I look back and think what a fun adventure we had that winter. A lot of my fondest memories were at parks with made up games and picnics that had sandwiches. I had no idea it was because my parents didn't have the money for real games or pizza or for what I am sure was a traumatic time for them, falling behind on or overlooking a bill that winter. My brother and I were just too young to think anything about it other than an adventure. That's it really. I have no idea what else to say, but did want to say something and tell you a bit about myself. From one human to another.
Evangeline, that is beautiful...pure...perfect. I am from a background similar to yours, so when I am out and about and someone starts speaking to me, I shut off the world around me and give them my undivided attention as if we were the only ones there and I had nothing else to do. Because nothing takes the place of the human to human experience and I have discovered that there are so many people like me out there who just need to know that someone cares.
Carrie Standridge Bless you for "seeing" people and giving everyone the respect and consideration that they deserve. There are so many, including me, who feel invisible and get lost amongst the boisterous and attention hogs out there. Thank you. You don't know the immense difference your kindness makes.
Thank you for someone on You Tube finally talking about money! All of the lovely people I subscribe to are inspiring, informative, and wonderful, always on trips and holidays, always happy but they would never dare speak of their finances. Its still such a taboo subject. Thanks so much!
You just made my day ❤️ I can't afford to give my children things that others have, but if they grow up to have such a humble heart like yours then I would be so proud...... your mum is amazing as are you xxx
You had me till the end.... What comes to my mind is this: (Christopher Robin to Pooh) Promise me you'll always remember, "You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think." -A.A. Milne Stay Gold Mr. Goss ❤️😘
Truer words have never been spoken. Wayne, your mindset is the reason why you will go far in life and maintain a wonderful success. You have the passion, the maturity, the determination and the desire.. what you have surpasses all of the show-offy beauty "gurus". You've got to be the apple of your mother's eye 💗
You have succeeded in making me cry, and fall in love with you. Beautiful soul. You will achieve your goal and your mum will be in that bungalow very soon. I don't know you, I don't know your mum but what i DO know for sure - she is bloody proud of you xx
RUclips's is the saint and dinner of us all. Everyone is trying to get to to buy something that does the same thing as something else. Hence the hoarding. I love your channel, I appreciate your candor and adore your honesty. You will get it, because you're doing it for the right reasons. God Bless. These little chats make me realize that I am truly not going crazy. Much love from the US.
You have such a big heart, I hope you reach your goal soon. I would desperately love the same for my mum, but she won't move !! And don't forget to look after yourself hun :-)
I hope that this message really gets out there. To achieve your dreams and goals you have to work, and work hard. I love watching your videos I learn so much. I decided to follow my dream of owning my own salon/spa I started cosmetology school and am combining that with getting my business degree. A month after I started I found out I had breast cancer. I didn't quit I'm still in school living on student loans and financial aid and it's hard. I just had my 19th round of chemo and have more to go but the tumor in my breast is gone!! In the end my dream will happen and the journey to get there will make it even more special. Thank you for your video today. You are very inspiring and a wonderful person
Jen, i sincerely wish you to achieve all of your wonderful goals, and most important - to be healthy and happy person xxx Thank you for sharing your experiences, no doubt you will make it !
Darling, please keep me updated on your journey. You are so inspiring. I'm so pleased that you're getting well. Please, keep in touch, please. You are an inspiration. Love you xxxx
I don't know you Jen, but I'm proud of you. Please continue taking care of yourself, and following your passion. I can tell you as the wife of a cancer survivor, that what you continue to do takes a strength many do not possess. All that I ask is that you also allow yourself to be weak. I know that sounds strange, but don't be a superwoman. Just be you. That is enough.
You have fought something that requires some toxic chemical to make it go. (I think that you have multiple amounts of it per 'round', and that it goes in via a vein/drip). You've fought not only the cancer itself, but almost twenty rounds of this toxic chemical, and you've survived! I think having done that, that you fighting to achieve your dream is going to be super easy! You are naturally a superhero! Please don't forget that, maybe create a mini 'oomph' board or folder that is a collection of things that make you feel better in whatever way you need to, and you use it whenever you feel like but mainly when the 'I don't think I can do this/this was a silly idea/why did I do this' type of thoughts, or the voice of doubt creeps in. Maybe also put in a list of songs that you could have as a 'power playlist' or something, and make sure that they are always available to you and on everry device you own (and the device has speakers/headphones attached!).
First comment I have ever left on a youtube video, There are no words to describe what a wonderful person you are hope you reach your goals! And thank you for shearing xx
My first comment on youtube, too. I think everything you shared just needed to be shared, it was real and I think the world needs a lot more of that! Thanks for being so vulnerable!
I love how sweet you are, you have always been inspiring. Your maybe the only youtuber that truly appreciates what they have and appreciates their subscribers, because with out subscribers you wouldn't have what you have. Love you Wayne. Stay sweet
U know something, I just saw Laura lee's unboxing video, it's the 3rd unboxing I've watched in a week! We all love ur videos, ur a good person, ur honest n u know ur makeup, I respect that! They can have lavish lives n good for them, god bless em, but thank you for making this video, people should know it's not reality, we all have problems n we all find ourselves wanting more. Thank you for showing gratitude instead of doing ur makeup in a Rolls Royce, much appreciated!
Like you, I had very little growing up. And I have worked bloody hard for everything that I have now. I don't believe for a second that 'celebrity' YTers are any happier in their lives than you or me. It's all just stuff, at the end of the day. This love of getting more and more, whether it be makeup or clothes or whatever material item it is that we lust after, is destroying the planet and our souls as well. I really enjoyed this video and I look forward to seeing your mum's new home one day very soon ❤️
thank you thank you thank you for this!!!! I am extemely tired of the consumerism lifestyle that is promoted in many yt videos (and just the media in general). I always feel like Im taking crazy pills as my husband and I work to pay down student loan debt, live in a tiny apartment and don't go out often while our peers have large homes, go on vacations, buy new cars, etc. All of those things are nice but we have other end goals that new cars and brand names cant help us reach. Thank you for bringing some normalcy to the Tube!
I can't even explain how relatable this video is......it's a very touching video with how honest and open you are. The very BEST times I have had with my husband were when we didn't have much because we were paying for a house and then we had kids. We look back and see how far we have come but also the sacrifices we have made. My husband just left yesterday to fight fire for the next 4 to 5 and sometimes 6 months. We don't get to see him much but it allows me to stay at home with my kids. Sorry I didn't mean to go on and on. This was a great video....THANKS Wayne!!!
What a beautiful, heart-warming story. Thank you for sharing something so personal. Thanks also for being such a good example of what a "successful" youtuber/ makeup artist can (should) be. My eyes were welling up at the end of your story, I just can't get over how inspirational it was. THANK YOU!!!
I would like to use the comments of Marta Dansie as she has replied so beautifully and said exactly what I would have said about your video. Yes, it was a beautiful Mother's Day gift to me as I did not hear from one of my children. What a wonderful son you are. Best regards and thank you!
The degree of opulence on so many RUclipsr channels now is so far beyond what I can relate to. Thank you for keeping it real, Wayne, and for inviting us to know more about where you came from.
Wayne, I hope that you see this message because I want to thank you for sharing such a personal story. You are one of the most genuine, kind, and generous souls on RUclips. I am very fortunate to have stumbled across your videos years ago. Much love and respect to you. ❤️
I couldn't agree more. A lot of people on youtube are so far removed from where they first began. Progress is wonderful and I guess as "content creators" the broad scope of the title encompasses all avenues of the media. But to benefit from films and books, that you did it actually contribute to or didn't actually write yourself but only to perhaps, be involved in the industry isn't really enough to attend or write! Thank you for sharing your story with us Wayne, your independence and humbleness is inspiring! I hope you achieve your goal to help your mother!
Preach Wayne! Money can buy the best medical care but can't buy health, money can buy the best wine and food, but can't buy people to enjoy it with. You are right on! Keep making these kinds of videos. Truth right here!
13mins of content and i didn't look away once! Some people take 13mins just on an intro and I'm bored to death! Or it's 13mins in and still we haven't seen a swatch in a swatch video. It's 💓 seeing the human side of you! I can't think of the word so I used the emoji that described the feeling. You're mum is blessed to have you. I hope you reach your goal and your journey is a beautiful one! 💋❤️
I totally understand what you are saying. With some youtubers I worry that the bottom will fall out and then how will they sustain the life they have become accustomed to? It's a risk.
Nicole Hanes *cough Dana Ann cough* She's begging and pleading for her subscribers to DONATE so she can keep the new house she HAD BUILT for her and her boyfriend in CO. Just disgusting. She can't get another job because then she won't be able to do RUclips. (Like she's doing us a favor). Different levels of donations get you different "rewards". $50/month and she'll follow you back on Twitter. Bahahaha!!! It's so far out of touch with reality that it's absurd she can't see the solution. Even after talking it over with her boyfriend, a job outside of RUclips was never the answer. Smh. She's 24 and just had a home built. I was broke and had 3 year old twin sons by 24. But I worked my butt off! These new RUclips people are LAZY. (Not Wayne).
I understand being tired, Wayne. I also have worked hard all my life. I still work hard at 52. I still am broke. It's a different broke but still broke. Anyway all to say, I've just watched your short makeup videos and just found these that talk about your personal life. They brought you close to my heart. Made me proud of you and I love that you want to take care of your mom and that you know she deserves that. Bravo!
What sets you apart from everyone else is that you are a humble person. You keep it real and honest. Don't ever change that❤ "Humility is not thinking less of yourself, IT IS thinking of yourself less".
Usually posts like yours...like mine sometimes...make me cringe. But its so true. No bad after taste from a Wayne Goss video. Good on Ms Goss. I guess she broke the mold with Wayne.
This guy is one of the most sincere and brutally honest (not to mention inspiring) people on RUclips and I'm so glad I found him!
MrsFunshine Don't forget handsome :)
MrsFunshine He is so so handsome ❤️
MrsFunshine I love him so much because he is so right to the point and down to earth honest! He is inspiring.
I recommend his content to everyone
Moriganna Brown He is an absolute diamond 💎
Yea, I can totally relate to RUclipsrs who show off their money.....new houses....new cars....new clothes....designer bags and shoes without giving a flying f*ck for their subscribers and the people who helped them make it. I stopped watching them too as it felt like they were gloating somewhat. Not you Wayne, you are a delight!
Lynn Fenwick I've unsubbed from many channels who I feel are not genuine people.
Lynn Fenwick me too,...
Lynn Fenwick I'v unsubbed from most channels I used to watch...Mostly because they just seemed to buy, buy, buy and show off...everything, until it just became too sickening to watch. AND boring !!
I JUST unsubbed from a ton of my subscriptions today...it was messing with my head.
Artlover This is why my new favourite kind of videos are the anti hauls, listening to them talk about what they are not going to buy, the reasons behind them, feels more down to earth. It's nice to hear someone say I don't need this new highlighter palette because I already have too many highlighters.
"She's had fuckall her entire life. And she deserves something..." I get what you're saying, but trust me, she's had YOU, and you are EVERYTHING she would ever need.
Heather Deiss so beautiful comment I can't help but to say this
Heather Deiss yesssssss ❤️❤️
You have a beautiful soul something money can NEVER buy. Never change 💜
You're the most sincere and humble RUclipsr, and ultimately my favorite to watch. I make videos just for fun and expect nothing major from RUclips, but if I were to ever gain an incredible subscriber base, I would want to stay true to myself as you've shown is possible through this journey. Thank you for continuing to inspire me!
kimbro me too! I like doing videos everynow and then if i ever have time lol. It is enjoyable, i would want to have friends with whom i can talk to the way Wayne does here in his channel. I want to be able to talk with people and share like this like just talking to a family and close friends. Wayne is really wonderful
I grew up in an abusive home with an alcoholic father who would drink a good portion of his paycheck away; nevermind that the electricity bill was past due. We children were only allowed to have 1 pair of shoes the entire school year. As we became of working age, we were forced to work and give 1/2 our wages to our father just to see him drink it away. We were forced to pay for our own necessities (including medical and dental) with the remainder we kept. One summer I recall going to see the dentist because I had a terrible cavity. It was so bad that it required oral surgery to have it removed. I used all of my share of wages to pay the bill. When it came time to purchase school clothes for myself, I had no money. My parents didn't even offer to buy me an outfit. They said that I should've learned to spend my money more wisely. I was only 15. It really sucked. Later I'd ask if I could keep a little bit more of my wages to save for college and was told no. My father said that I could get grants to pay for it. I explained that not everyone qualified for grants and that I needed to save so I could pay for it. He then replied tough shit. Thank God my aunts allowed me to move in with them while I worked and worked and went to college. I finally have a degree and am forever grateful to my aunts for encouraging me to not give up.
A Tr you guys are true examples of human beings overcoming adversity! 💞
Omg you 2 :( your stories brought tears to my eyes. The thought of a parent treating a child, THEIR child, like that...sickens me. Unfortunately I think it happens a lot :(. I can't even fathom treating my son like that. I want to nurture him to grow into an amazing human. I'm so sorry you both had to go through such awful hardships especially at the hands of someone who's supposed to love and protect you. Much love to you both. I hope you have been able to NOT let it bring you down and conquer your spirit. xo
A Tr Your story.broke my heart as well. (I'm wiping away the tears as I type this). What's sad is I've always felt badly that I've struggled to pay bills and couldn't do more for my children. Granted, their lives weren't terribly tough (except for when I was extremely I'll for a but and then their dad got cancer). But in between those times they still were given things they as Ted here/there. To think that your father treated you like that is so sad to me. Even now we watch our only grandchild and I'd die for her. But I still feel badly because we live not too far from Disney World and we can't afford to take her. I'll never understand how a parent can treat their child so poorly?? At least when you have your own children I'm sure they will be treated wonderfully..
A Tr Jeez girl. I'm so happy you got out of that situation. Kudos to your aunts for helping you. You're strong, girl.
Your mom has a loving and respectful son. She is blessed!
You made me cry. You made me realize I need to treat my mom better.
Zahra Ismail Call or email her from time to time. My hubs died when our daughter was 10 yrs old. She gave me problems from then on. I haven't heard from her since 2010. No cards or anything. We live in the same town!
Utoober729 that's horrible... I'm so sorry to hear and for your loss. I hope you and your daughter reconnect!
Zahra Ismail
So many young ppl takel their Moms & Dads for granted. I'm glad this helped open your eyes to appreciating your Mom more.
So many of us just yearn to have had a Mom that was there for us. It's such an important relationship in our lives, and that relationship, whether good or bad, shapes so much of who we are. If one has been so blessed to have had considered that relationship to be a loving & nurturing one, then we musn't take it for granted, ever.
Go give your Mom & BIG heartfelt & loving hug today, then look her deep in the eyes & tell her that you love her & that she means the world to you! I guarantee you, you WILL make her day...hell, her YEAR! & she will NEVER forget that moment, EVER. She will hold it in her heart as one of her most cherished memories of her life, & you will feel so good in your heart knowing that you gave her that blessed gift.
Utoober729
Yes, she should have reached out to you, but, may I ask why you would go so long, as a Mother, to not reach out to your own child? Relationships are a two way street.
I certainly don't know the circumstances & all the dynamics of your relationship with your daughter, but have you done some soul searching and ask yourself why she might have distanced herself from you? Were you emotionally there for her and in support of her after her father died? I'm not trying to point fingers, I'm just saying it's important to understand the dynamics of the relationship and how both of you are responsible for the disconnect in your relationship.

Beautifully stated!
Hit the nail in the head! I'm so sick of certain youtubers and their blogs where they get to go on the red carpet and their exotic vacations. Their brand name shoes and bags and their new homes!! If I wanted to see shit like that I would watch the Kardashians, there's enough selfish TV shows out there. Not interested. Whatever happened to being humble? And if you got it why do you have the need to flaunt it? Maybe they aren't completely happy as they want to make it seem.
SangriainTO Amen!!!
SangriainTO so true! stay humble Wayne....it really showcases your genuine live of others & your true passion for your work & those around you. those who are blessed should be blessings to others & you are obviously meant to be on YT to make a difference in the world💕😙
SangriainTO totally agree...world seems to becoming more self-absorbed, greedy & heartless. too many ppl selling their souls!
SangriainTO Yes! The next time I see another YTber accumulate another designer bag, I'll be sick. I've been turned off Fleurdeforce et al for that very reason. It's shocking indulgence.
You didn't have to share your story but you did and I love that. Thank you for cutting through the facade that RUclips can put up. I love the honesty and the transparency you have in every single video. I'm sure you'll reach your goal!
Meldin Califano i
I never ever ever comment. However I am a huge fan of your work. I follow a lot of beauty 'gurus' and I had to say Wayne Goss, Thank you!! What a beautiful 'mother's day sentiment' without even meaning it to be. I appreciate your genuine comments on this matter. Way to work hard for a goal. I have confidence you'll someday get it!! What a great role model you are too. Thank you!!!
I, like you Marta, never ever comment. But "ditto" to everything you said...
After watching a few youtube video's today of people whose lifestyles are so far out of my range and are spending their money buying the most expensive cars, designer jewelry and designer clothes I began to feel really depressed....I started to equate happiness with having all of that stuff......thanks for rebooting me and getting me back on track that while nice things are nice, there's a bigger picture we sometimes lose sight of and I so appreciate that you took the time to share this.
manifestingjayde25 remember mindfulness: see and love what's directly in front of you. ❤️
AGREED!!!
I was raised dirt poor. I was raised by people who didn't want me nor did they ever love me (yes biological parents). All my childhood we had to move every 6 months cause we couldn't pay bills. I got kicked out at 12 years old and worked 2 jobs under the table to pay for rent in a two bedroom apartment. That was shared between 7 people and I. At 14 I moved back in with my biological parents because they said hey we are leaving this town and area and if you don't come with us then you are stuck here. That scared me because they were all that I knew. So I moved with them. I was still working but they had me paying a portion of rent for my bedroom and I was to pay the whole electric bill. Just to stay in the apartment they were in. I paid it and my own food, shampoo, razors. I mean the essentials to live. 4 days after turning 17 I became pregnant with my daughter. Month later I told my mum after I realized pregnancy wasn't the flu. She had me kicked out 3 hours later. Giving me only 3 hours to pack all my things and be gone before my father came home. He didn't want to see me and she didn't want to see me. She fought with me when I was moving out but not because I was pregnant or leaving but because I was taking a mirror that I had paid for and still have to this day. Though she tried taking it from the truck bed 3 times. I still left with it. Flash forward 9 years which is today. I have a beautiful 8 year old daughter. A son who is almost 1 year old and was planned. My husband and I are looking to buy houses that are so expensive and lush. We keep looking at these houses thinking we can't afford this but yet here we are. We have always been dirt poor and now we are able to buy a house. My car isn't brand brand new. It's 10 years old but it's gorgeous. My children have useless things that I think are amazing. Like a fairy princess room. The reason I'm writing all of this is I feel as though the moment I was born I had to work. I had to fight to have schooling and is actually the reason why I got a job. Once my biological parents saw I had money and was buying books they decided I needed to pay them. So there is that but I've always worked. I had to grow up at a ridiculous age. I enjoy life anyway that I receive it and yet I see people my age complaining about money, cars, houses, boys, girls, this and that. Here I am just happy not to be dirt poor. I'm thinking about owning a home that my grandchildren will get to spend the night in the same room and bed my children slept in. Thats my dream. That's my goal. I don't need trips, clothing, cars or whatever else. Just this dream. I also want to thank you for being an inspiration. Someone that I eagerly watch every time I see you've uploaded a video and have gotten to know better through out the years. You've made me love makeup not just to cover my acne which is how my makeup journey started but to bring out the beauty in every person who asks me "hey, can you do makeup." With the knowledge I've obsorbed from you I know different skin types, what works and what doesn't, that brushes are your most important tool and to be quick and straight to the point. So thank you.
JustineHaviland What an amazing story and you sound like such a strong and intelligent woman to have overcome all the hardships that you did. Bravo to you and I have no doubt you will achieve your goals!
I really appreciate your kind words. Thank you so much!
Justine Haviland I just read all of that with my mouth wide open. I had similar painful childhood situations where I had to think and work far beyond what was normal for my age and I've wanted to quit so many times but it really gives me hope when I read stories like this that it will get better. thank you for sharing your story on here.
Justine Haviland
God bless you. I think you've had an Angel on your shoulder, to help you be strong & rise above your circumstances. NO child should EVER have to endure what you've had to!
You have, and will continue to be, an AMAZING Mom to your two beautiful children & offer them a life filled with adoration, deep love, gentle & patient guidence, and most of all, the emotional security of knowing that you will ALWAYS be there for them, no matter what.
Endorse yourself! for all you have risen from, and all you continue to be able to accomplish in your life.
May you continue to always have an Angel on your shoulder, helping to guide the way, dear one. 🙏
Thank you for sharing. It does my heart good to hear a man that still lives his mum and wants her to have something. Thank you.
Thank you for doing this video. I am a single Mom too and I the last few years I have been having health problems so financially things have been hard on my daughter and myself. It helps hearing that I am not alone and that things will be okay. What you are doing for your Mom brings tears to my eyes. Blessings to you and blessings to your Mom for raising such a nice and lovely son. You always put a smile on my face when I watch your videos...you're such a cutie 😊
Crystal Witch understand xo
Wayne has a quality hard to find these days--humility. I love his work ethic. He loves his mother so much and wants to see her comfortable. What a beautiful person he is. Never change, Wayne. ❤️️
MaryAnn M couldn't have said it any better 😊
Wayne you my dear are a diamond in the rough these days. It's so unbelievably heartwarming to hear how humble you still are. It's very hard to really connect with RUclipsrs now a days because everything has to be perfect, well edited with a whole film crew etc.. and it just blows my mind. I don't take away the hard work that goes into making videos but I don't think people really are getting the real person behind the lens a lot of the time. Thank you for staying humble and still having a goal of taking care of whats most important in life, family. I wish you all of the love and support to make that goal a reality. Stay sweet!
Thank you honey. Honestly, today i watched the most beautiful video from a youtuber. It was stunning. But the film was a 'crew'. 3 cameras easy, edited professionally. I mean, good for them. But i don't have that luxury. No team sadly. I agree everything looks so stunning and professional now. It scares me to be honest. Thank you for your lovely comments xxxx
I am crying watching this. What an absolutely beautiful human being you are Wayne. Never change and be very proud of who you are. But you won't because you are too humble. You are loved!♥️♥️♥️♥️
One word comes to mind and it's "AUTHENTIC!!!" Your life and my life mirror each other and I'm tired too. Fortunately my hard work has paid off and now I can take care of my dad and I want that for you too so even though I know you didn't make this video for this reason I'm heading to wherever I need to go to buy your brushes because I would rather my money go for good brushes and to a good person and to help you and your mum be together than to be used for something less admirable..Lastly, you have a voice here and you can help young people and even old people like me reach their goals. You can love makeup without it becoming something ugly and over the top! Hoarding is a huge problem here in the states and I'm glad you are addressing it!
I love this, Wayne! You are a kind, loving, wonderful son!! I'm sure your mother is very proud of you.
This is why I still watch you years later. You haven't changed. I skip so many videos from people now who i used to watch and get excited about everytime they popped up in my subs. I'm happy they're successful but gosh it's changed them and as you said they're lives are so far removed now that I can't relate and their personalities have changed along with that. It's a shame. I hope you get to your goal, I believe in you!
You couldn't of said it any better! Amen
Thank you. That is why I borrowed over $200,000 to become a doctor in business so I could provide for my mother and family. Some say I am crazy, maybe, but I hope too, just like you, that one day before my mother dies, I own a beautiful home. I would love to own some Tom Ford makeup, but the Ordinary and Revlon work well for me. Thank you for your story and goals. I like it all.
Angela Chance good for you! You're an angel to want to take care of your mom.
Angela Chance the ordinary is much better than a lot of high end products :)
I'm totally in awe of you, Wayne!! Thank you for continuing to be so real, so humble and so incredibly kind! Keep being you, and only you, because you're pretty dang awesome!
Love this! I couldn't switch it off. So raw and real and I think for many of us, so relatable.
Aaaaand this is why I have been subscribed to this incredible man for years. He is the most sincere, wonderful young man. Love you Wayne xx
Wayne, as a ethnic gay man living in Australia, your story strikes a chord in my heart! You really do inspire me ALOT, writing this getting almost teary but I know what hard work means when youre literally scraping the bottom of the barrel.....
I truly teared up watching that , it's so heartwarming how much love you have for your Mum , she has raised you well Wayne , you're hardworking , sincere , humble and honest and I for one ( among thousands I'm sure ) love your brushes , they are the best I've ever tried , no bull ! I so hope you reach your goal and soon , you deserve everything you've worked to get and you are one of my favourite YT's , I can always rely on you for great content and honest reviews plus you make me laugh :) Sending lots of love and well wishes to you from Ireland ( & a bit of luck too xxx )
Wayne your Mum must be so incredibly proud of you! I have no doubt that you will achieve your goal. My family were never well off we actually ended up homeless at one point down in Portsmouth. When I was bringing up my children I ended up in a lot of debt. I'll never forget the day my friend gave me her last £10 so I could get some food for the children. I worked 12 hour night shifts and did extra shifts on my nights off. I've recently sold my ( small) house in London and me, my daughter and son in law have all moved in together as they have no hope of getting on the property ladder otherwise. I've got the loft extension and joked I'll need a stairlift in a few years time! I absolutely loved watching this video so honest and open. Thank you for sharing. At the end of the day family is the most important thing.
Suzi Yadallee AMEN!!
I came from a privledged background...best school, best house in the most expensive street but my parents 'lost' most of the money before they died so there was little inheritance. Luckily I enjoy working hard and like you Wayne I have a goal. I met a wonderful man and all of our spare money goes into our children's education. My husband and I never go out for dinner, rarely go on holidays and have a very sedate lifestyle...and we are happy with this. Yes I could buy myself Chanel or Tom Ford (and sometimes I do spoil myself) but I would rather have the security of money in the bank and equity in our home.
Unfortunately we are in a world where looks have become so important and borrowed money buys some people an extravagant lifestyle and these are the people who look down upon our lifestyle. Luckily I've learnt not to care what others think and am happy with what I've got.
Good luck with moving your mum ❤ she must be very proud of you Wayne.
You are so down to earth, that's what I really like about you!
Watched you since I was 11 in 2009. 8 Years later and I'm still here! You're the only person I always come back for. If I want to buy some makeup, I check for your reviews on it. You're so amazing, strong, humble, watchable, inspiring and so much more! I'm glad you haven't changed like a lot of other RUclipsrs. Of course I've stayed till the end of the video because you are worth my time despite not knowing you in person. We are all here for you! I hope you reach your goal :)
Thank you for this Wayne. Over the past year I have really cut most of the beauty bloggers out of influence. I am really tired of the cattiness, boujeeness and lying. I really appreciate hearing stories like this because I can relate, I am sure that I am not the only one. You have solid material, artistry and a good heart. Thanks.
not only that but the excessive swearing like jstar. im so numb to hearing BLINDING, REALNESS, CUNTY, CMON, FLEEKY. this new wave of beauty is just sinful lol
You are an amazing human being . I am so thankful I found your videos years ago. You are a true inspiration I wish you all the best xo
I'm so glad I found Wayne years ago I've learned so much and he has always been so humble. Thankyou Wayne!
I just wanna give you a big hug. Thank you for this.
Wow a person living in reality 🤗.. Very refreshing... you are a good son but sure if asked her she would say she's the lucky one!!! Thanks for just being a good human.
Wayne, you are such a genuine and lovely person!
I'm sick of watching other You Tubers showing off their lifestyles/rooms/holidays etc. it's all fake I don't believe that they are truly 100% happy! xx
saralondon1986 true. And those lavish things come with a price of course. It is not all glitter and gold surely. Wayne is so different, i love him, so humble and sincere and a wonderful person. Ill never get tired of watching his videos
You said your mother is a really good person, the apple didn’t fall far from the tree. You are a really good person too🙂
You are so refreshing! Stay just as you are! So thoughtful and kind! Hope you get to your goal! X
I never knew you were this humble Wayne. When you said "I feel tired" I feel you. I've reached an age where I now want to save for a house for me and my kids and for my pension. I spent all my money for years and years on just clothes, makeup, shoes... I regret that now I have to say!
I also can't relate to this lavish RUclipsrs, their lives are so over the top and many of them display an almost vulgar need to constantly BUYBUY BUY & then SHOW OFF..😑
Loved this video - I hope you are able to help your mum one day xx
You are so relatable Mr. Wayne (: I adore your spirit and the way you approach things ! Stay blessed (:
This video brought me to tears... you are such a special person, Wayne. Your mom is so lucky to have you for a son.💙
You're a star and I'm sure your lovely mum thinks so too! I sincerely hope you reach your goal x
I promise I'm not crying......you are a treasure, a beautiful beautiful person. Love you and may God bless your hustle. I believe when you bless others good things come your way. Don't sell yourself short. Your mum was and is very rich.....she has you and for a mum it doesn't get any richer than that. I have had a tough 5 years lived in a 1 bed roomed house where the roof leaked and I used to have to get up and find a spot that doesn't leak. My boys had the bedroom. That was all that mattered. I now live in a home that newly built but like you I have a goal. I don't want my kids to be without a home because someone has the power to make them homeless. But I look at my boys and they are the most beautiful kids ever and they drive me. We are so poor materially, but for having each other we are rich. Sending blessings your way. May your mum's house come to fruition. You have inspired me. For everyday God gives me it is an opportunity to achieve good things. I am like a proud mum....but we are the same age 😆💕💕💕💕
the amount of respect I have for you is immeasurable ❤❤❤
I feel like now I need to go through every video you've ever made and rewatch and like them all so you can get a little boost in ad rev. #buymomahouse #reachthegoal
LunaMalfoy3 That's a great idea! That's going to be a project for my spare time over the next few weeks.
Arlette I'm just letting them play on a playlist in the background while I clean right now 😂
LunaMalfoy3 is that how it works? I had no idea. If so then I too will be boosting the ad rev for Wayne #greatworkethic 👍
Lucie Taylor kind of, yes and no. He gets paid from the ads that play before/after his videos. So he'll get a certain amount for so many 1,000 views per video. And the more views and more likes his video gets, the more companies will pay to have their ads play before his videos. So this is a pretty easy and painless way to bump him up and get mom that house!
You are so so sweet darling xxxxx
You are such a blessing for many reasons but what stands out to me is your genuine transparency. You encourage and speak to people not at them. As a 41 year old woman that has served my family, still raising them, 4 daughters yes 4.... I just started my own business, I'm scared and many times frustrated. You have such a great message of truth that hard as it may be is inspiring and a fresh breath in my sails when I was still.... thank you
Kelly Nobles you go girl, you can do it :) do what you think you can't and you will prove yourself wrong!
what a beautiful video,such care and concern for your mum,your amazing keep on being you.x
This is embarassing...and I know that this video was probably hard for you to make...but at least you have a goal. Many don't. Myself included, and I never have. I envy people with goals, and it's so hard to get across that it's not like I don't want to have at least one goal, but I just draw a total blank when I think about things like what do I really want in life, where do I see myself in 5 or 10 years, etc. When I was a child, the only thing I truly remember ever really wanting when I grew up was to be married to the love of my life, and that it would be forever. Now, here I am at 46 and he hasn't shown up, so I gave up waiting. Im so happy that you're not a sell-out, Wayne. I've been a subscriber and a fan of yours for more than 4 years, and I truly adore your work, commitment, and overall philosophy. You are a genious, and your mother is so fortunate to have been blessed with such a son as you.
LYNNSTER1971 I don't think there is anything wrong with your goal. that's all most women want and we have to stop apologizing for it. it's society that makes us feel like we're nothing if we don't achieve and that is dead wrong. life is about relationships and joy not achievement.
LYNNSTER1971 the real goals are the only ones of importance....love God, love & help others... the rest will fall into place. Volunteering in diff areas may spark unknown interests & passions in case you feel like trying a diff approach :) maybe you will meet your soul mate that way too🌷💖 blessings to you for finding passions to help direct your path xo
sue she thank you for that.
I also, grew up without lots of money. I work 2 jobs & have my children & love them with every ounce of me. I love makeup, it lets me be creative, but my family comes first. I'm 42 & in school for nursing, later in life, but totally doing it, & doing it well! Honor Student! I understand you & you put a tear in my eye. I wasn't really going for the Alice Cooper look today, but it has happened. You reminded me of all the wonderful days I had growing up, all the wonderful days I have now, & all the wonderful days still yet to come. Money doesn't make you happy. You don't need money to have love & pure joy in your life. I love your message & what you stand for. I wish more people were like you in this world. Whatever happens in my future happens. I work hard, have a lovely family, & enjoy everyday. That's Beautiful! Thanks for this message. Have a wonderful day. Take Care Wayne✌✌✌
Congratulations on your nursing journey! I'm in nursing school and it amazes me every time I see a parent in nursing school. Those are the students in my class who get the best grades because they have little ones who are depending on them. Watching them makes me keep myself from whining because someone else has it much harder.
Llovelylady1 Awe, Thanks so much! It's definitely challenging at times, but I actually enjoy it. I've worked in a hospital for 20 plus years & probably should have done it earlier, but better late than never. Also, this teaches my kids what hard work means & what reward feels like when you earn it on your own merit. So, as I learn, I also teach which is super cool. Thanks dear & Take care✌✌✌
Krazi's Beauty View I went to nursing school as a single mom of 3 sons who were at the time, 3, 5, 7. I worked nights and weekends in a pediatric office. 21 years later I remain humbled and grateful. These are the stories like yours and @gossmakeupchat that matter, that the current generation of kids need to hear. No instant gratification but hard work! Blessings to you and yours!
Please make MORE MORE videos like this raw & emotional as they are so appreciated by me & many more😍🤗
Michelle Clements Davis I totally agree. These type of videos are truly meaningful. It was so courageous of Wayne to be vulnerable and to share his feelings and past with us. It touched my heart and made me love him even MORE🙂❤️
This is by far my favourite video that you have created, you have such a sweet and honest personality! I would love to see more videos like this, longer and more personal. 💓💓
I grew up very poor as well. Always had what I needed but that's it nothing extra. I had a son at age of 17 he pushed me to want to do better move away from the ghetto so he can go to a good school. I worked 3 jobs then but my son had everything he needed but my time. I finally found an awesome husband who cared for both of us and I am now down to one job 2 kids and they have everything they need and my time as well. Love your story Wayne
I grew up in a council house, with a mother whom I have nothing but praise for, I miss her more than words can express, I hope you get your Mam that house, I'm sure you will, but for her to know that getting her a house is your goal, well, in her heart, you have already done it, May God bless you both, but I think he already has
Wayne, I'm the type of person that never leaves comments on the videos, not because i dont like but because i dont really think it will make a difference... but today i had to because I totally agree with you, I have been watching you for the longest time, you inspired me to become a makeup artist and now I live my dream job. But to be honest i always feel a bit of a "loser" because the life some people have on social media and on youtube being an influencer is so "magical" that is hard not to feel bad about yours, especially in regards to their age, at 23, 24 they already have or show to have what we dont have at 33.. is so good to know that we can relate to you and you actually do have a normal life like most of us and its ok to be just like that.
we love you! :)
I love your honesty and how real you are about RUclips and just life in general. Thank you for sharing. There should be more people on YT like you.
I don't really leave comments, I am forever awkward, shy, and try my best to blend in. Also I am horrible at keeping things short and sweet. However, I just wanted to say that throughout the years of watching your videos, I have always seen a beautiful soul. From the way your eyes light up when you feel really passionate about anything you are talking about, to apologizing when you feel you have said something wrong, to just admitting to being a human with flaws as everyone else is and not coming off as a superhero with unrealistic powers. You did something extraordinary. You took every cent you had and took a chance, and you not only went for it, but you succeeded when some said it might not be wise. That can never be taken from you. When I watch your videos, I see something in you, always have. An humble kindness that unfortunately a lot of people lose when life happens, good or bad. I have a feeling that you were just born with it, or maybe it started at a young age for you and someone helped in the process. Please give your mother a kiss for me (all the way from Houston Texas), for getting it right when she raised you. And you, I love hearing these stories, I honestly just love hearing your kind voice in general. My parents grew up poor, living with rats because of holes in the floors, my mother's childhood home deemed unlivable and condemned, my dad getting his first full time job at 6 to help support his family, when I was a child my parents had their money issues. Choosing which bills to pay that month. During the winter one year, my mother would get up extra early to heat up the oven where we ate our breakfast sitting on chairs facing the warmth, getting dressed and our hair brushed before school. I look back and think what a fun adventure we had that winter. A lot of my fondest memories were at parks with made up games and picnics that had sandwiches. I had no idea it was because my parents didn't have the money for real games or pizza or for what I am sure was a traumatic time for them, falling behind on or overlooking a bill that winter. My brother and I were just too young to think anything about it other than an adventure. That's it really. I have no idea what else to say, but did want to say something and tell you a bit about myself. From one human to another.
Evangeline Yawn Well said Evangeline🙂I totally agree with your eloquent and insightful words. Thank you for sharing with us too
Thank you for your kind comment
🦄💛💚💙💖💜🦄
Evangeline Yawn You're welcome
Evangeline, that is beautiful...pure...perfect. I am from a background similar to yours, so when I am out and about and someone starts speaking to me, I shut off the world around me and give them my undivided attention as if we were the only ones there and I had nothing else to do. Because nothing takes the place of the human to human experience and I have discovered that there are so many people like me out there who just need to know that someone cares.
Carrie Standridge Bless you for "seeing" people and giving everyone the respect and consideration that they deserve. There are so many, including me, who feel invisible and get lost amongst the boisterous and attention hogs out there. Thank you. You don't know the immense difference your kindness makes.
Thank you for sharing your story and being a genuinely great human. 💗💗
I love your videos about your life. God Bless you and your mum.
Thank you for someone on You Tube finally talking about money! All of the lovely people I subscribe to are inspiring, informative, and wonderful, always on trips and holidays, always happy but they would never dare speak of their finances. Its still such a taboo subject. Thanks so much!
You just made my day ❤️ I can't afford to give my children things that others have, but if they grow up to have such a humble heart like yours then I would be so proud...... your mum is amazing as are you xxx
You had me till the end....
What comes to my mind is this:

Promise me you'll always remember,
"You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think." -A.A. Milne
Stay Gold Mr. Goss ❤️😘
Truer words have never been spoken. Wayne, your mindset is the reason why you will go far in life and maintain a wonderful success. You have the passion, the maturity, the determination and the desire.. what you have surpasses all of the show-offy beauty "gurus". You've got to be the apple of your mother's eye 💗
beautiful man, made me cry
You have succeeded in making me cry, and fall in love with you. Beautiful soul. You will achieve your goal and your mum will be in that bungalow very soon. I don't know you, I don't know your mum but what i DO know for sure - she is bloody proud of you xx
I'd love to see your Mum on your channel one day :)
RUclips's is the saint and dinner of us all. Everyone is trying to get to to buy something that does the same thing as something else. Hence the hoarding. I love your channel, I appreciate your candor and adore your honesty. You will get it, because you're doing it for the right reasons. God Bless. These little chats make me realize that I am truly not going crazy. Much love from the US.
You have such a big heart, I hope you reach your goal soon. I would desperately love the same for my mum, but she won't move !! And don't forget to look after yourself hun :-)
Your sincerity comes over so well. Thank you.
You are a wonderful son to a wonderful mum and I hope your goal is reached really soon.

I hope that this message really gets out there. To achieve your dreams and goals you have to work, and work hard. I love watching your videos I learn so much. I decided to follow my dream of owning my own salon/spa I started cosmetology school and am combining that with getting my business degree. A month after I started I found out I had breast cancer. I didn't quit I'm still in school living on student loans and financial aid and it's hard. I just had my 19th round of chemo and have more to go but the tumor in my breast is gone!! In the end my dream will happen and the journey to get there will make it even more special. Thank you for your video today. You are very inspiring and a wonderful person
Jen, i sincerely wish you to achieve all of your wonderful goals, and most important - to be healthy and happy person xxx Thank you for sharing your experiences, no doubt you will make it !
Darling, please keep me updated on your journey. You are so inspiring. I'm so pleased that you're getting well. Please, keep in touch, please. You are an inspiration. Love you xxxx
You'll get there Wayne 😁
I don't know you Jen, but I'm proud of you. Please continue taking care of yourself, and following your passion. I can tell you as the wife of a cancer survivor, that what you continue to do takes a strength many do not possess. All that I ask is that you also allow yourself to be weak. I know that sounds strange, but don't be a superwoman. Just be you. That is enough.
You have fought something that requires some toxic chemical to make it go. (I think that you have multiple amounts of it per 'round', and that it goes in via a vein/drip). You've fought not only the cancer itself, but almost twenty rounds of this toxic chemical, and you've survived! I think having done that, that you fighting to achieve your dream is going to be super easy! You are naturally a superhero! Please don't forget that, maybe create a mini 'oomph' board or folder that is a collection of things that make you feel better in whatever way you need to, and you use it whenever you feel like but mainly when the 'I don't think I can do this/this was a silly idea/why did I do this' type of thoughts, or the voice of doubt creeps in. Maybe also put in a list of songs that you could have as a 'power playlist' or something, and make sure that they are always available to you and on everry device you own (and the device has speakers/headphones attached!).
First comment I have ever left on a youtube video, There are no words to describe what a wonderful person you are hope you reach your goals! And thank you for shearing xx
My first comment on youtube, too. I think everything you shared just needed to be shared, it was real and I think the world needs a lot more of that! Thanks for being so vulnerable!
I love how sweet you are, you have always been inspiring. Your maybe the only youtuber that truly appreciates what they have and appreciates their subscribers, because with out subscribers you wouldn't have what you have. Love you Wayne. Stay sweet
U know something, I just saw Laura lee's unboxing video, it's the 3rd unboxing I've watched in a week! We all love ur videos, ur a good person, ur honest n u know ur makeup, I respect that! They can have lavish lives n good for them, god bless em, but thank you for making this video, people should know it's not reality, we all have problems n we all find ourselves wanting more. Thank you for showing gratitude instead of doing ur makeup in a Rolls Royce, much appreciated!
Like you, I had very little growing up. And I have worked bloody hard for everything that I have now. I don't believe for a second that 'celebrity' YTers are any happier in their lives than you or me. It's all just stuff, at the end of the day. This love of getting more and more, whether it be makeup or clothes or whatever material item it is that we lust after, is destroying the planet and our souls as well. I really enjoyed this video and I look forward to seeing your mum's new home one day very soon ❤️
thank you thank you thank you for this!!!! I am extemely tired of the consumerism lifestyle that is promoted in many yt videos (and just the media in general). I always feel like Im taking crazy pills as my husband and I work to pay down student loan debt, live in a tiny apartment and don't go out often while our peers have large homes, go on vacations, buy new cars, etc. All of those things are nice but we have other end goals that new cars and brand names cant help us reach. Thank you for bringing some normalcy to the Tube!
I can't even explain how relatable this video is......it's a very touching video with how honest and open you are. The very BEST times I have had with my husband were when we didn't have much because we were paying for a house and then we had kids. We look back and see how far we have come but also the sacrifices we have made. My husband just left yesterday to fight fire for the next 4 to 5 and sometimes 6 months. We don't get to see him much but it allows me to stay at home with my kids. Sorry I didn't mean to go on and on. This was a great video....THANKS Wayne!!!
lovely to see this side of you!
I watched, listened and related to every word you said but "she loves me and I love her" melted my heart!❤
What a beautiful, heart-warming story. Thank you for sharing something so personal. Thanks also for being such a good example of what a "successful" youtuber/ makeup artist can (should) be. My eyes were welling up at the end of your story, I just can't get over how inspirational it was. THANK YOU!!!
it's so annoying when youtubers start begging for $... so many are doing it later
Wayne you are a beautiful soul! Your mom did good. She instilled in you all the things that truly matter. What a blessed life.
Love your spirit and your attitude, pleasure to listen to you! You are truly down to earth, all the best to you. Hugs!
I would like to use the comments of Marta Dansie as she has replied so beautifully and said exactly what I would have said about your video. Yes, it was a beautiful Mother's Day gift to me as I did not hear from one of my children. What a wonderful son you are.
Best regards and thank you!
The degree of opulence on so many RUclipsr channels now is so far beyond what I can relate to. Thank you for keeping it real, Wayne, and for inviting us to know more about where you came from.
You are so humble and sincere.
I've cried watching this because it's so similar to my life story.
Thank you for this video and for sharing all this.
You are so so amazing person, such a real person!! Such a great son. We LOVE you for you being you. You're the Best :) :) :D
Wayne, I hope that you see this message because I want to thank you for sharing such a personal story. You are one of the most genuine, kind, and generous souls on RUclips. I am very fortunate to have stumbled across your videos years ago. Much love and respect to you. ❤️
..and you will reach the goal you are working so hard for! Everything will happen in its right time. Sending you lots of love from Somerset x
Your mom has definitely taught you well, Wayne! I'm sure you'll soon have your mom with you, you both deserve it. Best wishes!
who like.. bawled a bit when he said "I want to get her a house, she's had f all her whole life"
Me. As a mother, that got me, too.
Mar son I did!!
I believe you'll be able to get your mother to move near you soon, Wayne! Thanks for sharing! Love you xx
I couldn't agree more. A lot of people on youtube are so far removed from where they first began. Progress is wonderful and I guess as "content creators" the broad scope of the title encompasses all avenues of the media. But to benefit from films and books, that you did it actually contribute to or didn't actually write yourself but only to perhaps, be involved in the industry isn't really enough to attend or write! Thank you for sharing your story with us Wayne, your independence and humbleness is inspiring! I hope you achieve your goal to help your mother!
You are frankly the most honest, down to earth and sincere makeup artist on RUclips!!!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Preach Wayne! Money can buy the best medical care but can't buy health, money can buy the best wine and food, but can't buy people to enjoy it with. You are right on! Keep making these kinds of videos. Truth right here!
13mins of content and i didn't look away once! Some people take 13mins just on an intro and I'm bored to death! Or it's 13mins in and still we haven't seen a swatch in a swatch video. It's 💓 seeing the human side of you! I can't think of the word so I used the emoji that described the feeling. You're mum is blessed to have you. I hope you reach your goal and your journey is a beautiful one! 💋❤️
I totally understand what you are saying. With some youtubers I worry that the bottom will fall out and then how will they sustain the life they have become accustomed to? It's a risk.
Nicole Hanes *cough Dana Ann cough*
She's begging and pleading for her subscribers to DONATE so she can keep the new house she HAD BUILT for her and her boyfriend in CO. Just disgusting. She can't get another job because then she won't be able to do RUclips. (Like she's doing us a favor). Different levels of donations get you different "rewards". $50/month and she'll follow you back on Twitter. Bahahaha!!! It's so far out of touch with reality that it's absurd she can't see the solution. Even after talking it over with her boyfriend, a job outside of RUclips was never the answer. Smh. She's 24 and just had a home built. I was broke and had 3 year old twin sons by 24. But I worked my butt off! These new RUclips people are LAZY. (Not Wayne).
I know. There are a few taking donations. It's very off putting.
What? Wow. That's .... well ... there are no words!
Yes, they are asking for money! Patreon I believe.
This was so beautiful and honest. Sending you lots of love 💕
I understand being tired, Wayne. I also have worked hard all my life. I still work hard at 52. I still am broke. It's a different broke but still broke. Anyway all to say, I've just watched your short makeup videos and just found these that talk about your personal life. They brought you close to my heart. Made me proud of you and I love that you want to take care of your mom and that you know she deserves that. Bravo!
so refreshing to see such a beautiful soul!
