More Details
She sort of stumbled upon her successful career as a beauty blogger and vlogger. She worked in various office roles in corporate scenes. At that time, she started a blog about Do-it-Yourself interior decoration hacks and crafts as a hobby. To keep up with the theme of the blog she named the blog “Sprinkle of Glitter”. Soon, the blog gained popularity and become a go-to place for glitter addicts.
The success of her blog encouraged her to move over to other social media platforms with better reach. Hence, she eventually branched out to start her YouTube channel in 2010. She created the self-titled channel on 19 January 2010 and a secondary channel named “SprinkleofChatter” on 26 July 2012. At present, her main channel has 2.36 million subscribers and the secondary channel boasts around 1.08 million subscribers.
She kept the name of her blog for her channel as well. Since she had her wedding with Matt the same year, her DIY crafts were for a pre-wedding preparation regime. She started off her videos with the trademark greeting “Aloha Sprinklerinos” in her trademark warm and friendly tone. This instantly connected with the viewers.
Main Youtube
Moreover, Louise began her channel with instructional videos for interior decorating and DIY stuff. She then moved on to fashion. Being pregnant at the time, she made a lot of vlogs about fashion and outfit choices for pregnant women. She paid special attention to her size category and her fashion advice mainly centered on fashion for plus-sized women and especially plus-sized pregnant women who often struggle to continue a fashionable existence during their pregnancy.
Her earliest vlogs also detailed her pregnancy journey, what she did, what she ate, and how she felt in general. She took to calling her unborn child as Baby Glitter and the audiences loved that introduction for her daughter Darcy. She portrayed to her viewers that pregnancy need not necessarily deter your fashion aspirations and she demonstrated that quite aptly by trying on different nail arts or trying on the latest trends in hair coloring.
Being pregnant and a new mum did not deter her from taking on the world; she went to London to meet with her fans and even did a little tour of the theme parks. Her daughter, Darcy, featured in a lot of her earlier videos, and viewers loved seeing her doing cute baby things. She featured in some baby outfit videos and cute baby accessorizing videos that she uploaded in her channel. In between baby videos, she uploaded videos of her makeup hauls and impromptu Outfit Of The Day (OOTD) videos.
Collaborations
She also kept it real most of the time and it was apparent that being a new mum does not leave much room in your life for stuff like fashion and makeup. She held on to her passion and kept on sharing her beauty, fashion, and lifestyle tips. In the process, she often collaborated with other YouTubers.
Zoe Sugg of the channel Zoella has been featured quite frequently in her channel and the two of them have created multiple videos together on makeup and fashion. Other Youtubers that she has collaborated with include Alfie Deyes, Tanya Burr, Dan Howell, and Troye Sivan among many.
