This One Is For You (My Last Video)

Thank you for growing up with me over the last 10+ years. We made magic together and being a part of your story has been a profound honor. Thank you for letting me into your homes, your lives and your hearts. I love you. ❤️️

As I close this chapter, I want to leave you with a few people who I think not only represent the future of our collective wellness, but embody it on a daily basis. I encourage you to intentionally invest in their work and give them the love and support you've shown me.

2021 UPDATE: As I mentioned in this video, I'm no longer posting videos on YouTube... but I ended up figuring out my next chapter! At the end of 2020 I opened an indie scent studio with my partner. It's completely self-funded and we are loving the experience of running a small business together. We focus on slow-made, handcrafted candles with distinct fragrances – I make each one with my own hands! You can currently find me + my work in these places:

The OG YouTube community is literally dying... youtube is going to change forever after 2020

its so refreshing to see an influencer leave the platform without scandals, on their own terms, because it was time. ♡

Most people here say they've grown up with you. I guess I've grown "old" with you. I'm a 60 year old person that has followed you for years. I worked in a male dominated field and being an introverted person I didn't go out a lot on my days off. I had boyfriends but I alway felt like I was disappointing to them. Too plain. Too practical. I liked clothes but i didn't have confidence in styling them. I liked makeup but, as ridiculous as it sounds, I had no idea how to use it. So, I was a 50 year -old person watching your videos because I like you and what you did here. I learned things and enjoyed myself. Thank you and may this next chapter be a beautiful one for you.

People like Ingrid are the ones we need to remember when we think of the YT beauty community, not the toxic waste into which the current beauty community has morphed. If you ever read this, thank you for all your years on YT, Ingrid. You will be remembered for your kindness, love, and genuine spirit. You gave people a truly joyous space to escape when the real world got too much. I wish you all the best in your future endeavours. If you ever wish to pop by YT at any point in time in the future, know that some of us will truly be happy to see you (but no pressure)! xo <3

The person who started "vlogmas" is now leaving Youtube. That is so crazy but so cool that something you started is going to continue on Youtube. I watched you back in the day when you were with Luke, later I unsubscribed just because what I liked watching changed over the years. But seeing this makes me sad, you remind me of my young adult life because that's when I started watching you. Love you Ingrid.

I can’t believe this is the last video. I’ve been here since “Missglamorazzi” days and it’s been an honor to see you grow and become the person you are today. You inspire me in so many ways! Thank you for sharing your life with us through these years. 💗

[CookingAndCrafting]

Ingrid, I hope you get to see this comment. I was with you since your Miss Glamorazzi days. I grew up with you too, even though I am much older than you. It was fun watching you grow up. It was heartbreaking at times. I cried with you. I laughed with you. I wish you nothing but the absolute best in life. I hope you achieve everything you want in life. I hope that the next generation of YouTubers looks to the past and see their future. You have been an outstanding role model.

[katiualex]

i always wondered how this moment would be, where all the "old YouTubers" would start to just grow up, we're all doing it, and it is fine, thanks for share your experience Ingrid, you taught me a lot of things, thank you for that.

[ducky]

I miss when youtube was you, Jlovesmac1, ilikeweylie, bethany, etc. just tons of drugstore makeup hauls and no drama. I hate what youtube has become now, we focus on the same youtubers that talk more about drama than makeup. The world has become cancel culture. We will miss you but thank you so much for the memories and the iconic, simplistic, era.

EDIT: yes I know theres still tons of unproblematic beauty gurus I just wanted to reference back to the main youtubers of the era & the nostalgia, now everyone we have watched has grown in their own ways and i’m so proud of them all, but in my opinion nothing current day will top 2010-2013 beauty youtube! Thanks for the likes, im surprised and happy I was able to give some of y’all a nostalgic feel too :)

I remember missglammorazzi, I subscribed to her cause I thought she was neat. I was never into make up but she seemed so nice and genuine. I was here for your first vlogmas after Luke. I was here when you cut your hair short, went to the White House, moved to New York, when you came out. And I want to thank you, for letting all of us, but me specifically into your life.
You have been an inspiration to me, and even though it hurts to let go of this, I will always be happy that I've found you. That I have grown with you. Your videos made me happy when I was so miserable in my last years of high school.
I'll still try to keep up with you on other platforms. I will always be thankful for everything you have done, even though you may never know of me, I am so thankful.
Lots of love from a Bosnian ace girl. <3

It's only now hitting me that because YouTube and making a living on it is so relatively new, we don't know what the average longevity of a "YouTuber" career is. We might be seeing many of the original YouTubers start to leave and go in different directions because they've outgrown this career, maybe some of them will want to start a family and choose a more convenient career path. It's fascinating to me to think about this, about all of us discovering the longevity of this kind of career together. Heartbreaking, because we're saying goodbye to content creators we grew up with, but fascinating.

I’ve been a silent viewer for the past 10 years and I just want to share how much your videos meant to me. I was struggling with severe anxiety and depression and was afraid to leave the house when I found your videos. I watched your Revlon Lip Butter review and decided I wanted to go out and purchase one. You gave me a reason to leave the house and I will forever be grateful for that, because you helped me gain the confidence to step out into the world again. I unsubscribed a few years ago when I felt like I had “grown out” of your content, but happily resubscribed when you starting showing your true, authentic self and posting more than beauty videos and hauls. Your growth has been the most authentic I’ve seen on YouTube and I’m so glad to have witnessed it. Thank you for everything you’ve done for me, for this community, and most importantly, for yourself.

Got get them Ingrid! You got me through a rape, PTSD, my first job, meeting my husband, doing my makeup for my wedding, choosing a career, growing as a professional, growing as a step-mom, coming out to my husband and my stepkids and my parents and my friends. Here I am about to turn 31. I turned to you because I needed advice on how to dress for my first job and how to put on makeup on my mixed race Latin skin. You were the only video maker I found who had skin color that almost resembled mine. You got me through so much. You gave so much. Even with all the pain you were in. I speak about periods with confidence; I try to normalize periods in my home because of YOU! You are a big part of who I am and we’ve never even met. I will cheer you on from afar just as you cheered me on. Thank you immensely from the bottom of my heart. You taught me how to try to love myself again while the PTSD kept telling me that I should just give up and die. My gratitude is immeasurable. You’re part of the reason why I’m still here, why I’m on vacation today typing this from my own cell, on a King bed, snuggling my pup hearing my stepson play fortnite down the hallway. You saved me. Thank you. -Erika P

"We found each other."
Yes we did Ingrid.
You were one of the first creators I followed on the platform, yep, since those missglamorazzi days, then it came thegridmonster, the Vlogmas's that I used to look forward every year. Your content was a light when life got dark, you were there.
Thank you for making me question myself and bring awareness about important topics, for teaching us and bringing us into your interests with the best information.
I don't even know how to put into words everything "Ingrid Nilsen" meant to my development and growth on the internet. I just really want to give you a huuuge, ginourmous and eternal THANK YOU.
English is not my first language, but a word I learned from you and that I always remember you with is THRIVE, so that is what I wish for your live, to thrive and be happy.
I love you, Ingrid, we've never met, I always wanted to meet you, actually, I never could, but thank you, really, thank you.
All my love. 💖

[junebug]

Wow I'm just seeing this after a month but we will Miss you Ingrid <3 wish you the best in life Missglamorazzi. Who used to watch Ingrid, Michelle Phan, Blair Fowler, Elle Fowlet, Bethany Mota? Feeling so nostalgic :(

[Bambamb]

This hurts....everyone I grew up watching is quitting or getting cancelled.

[LindyS]

Dear Ingrid, I would like you to know that I am a person in my early 60’s and have enjoyed watching your videos throughout the years. Your reach went to all age groups not merely the young women. I watched you grow and mature thru the years. You are very courageous. Wish you the best of luck as you move forward in life. Thank You.

[Brookefgl]

This is the healthiest break up I've ever had. I wish the best for you in life and I'm glad you found your happiness! Fair well, Ingrid

[sarahangela]

My Father died of a stroke Jan. 15 and I found him. I see you Ingrid. Best of luck to you.
