Raw Beauty Kristi is hilarious and brutally honest when she reviews products. She does tend to put up her reviews a little behind the rest of the trendy Youtube influencer pack — but when you finally watch it, it's so worth it. By then, Kristi usually has tested the products out for a few days and has thorough feedback to give.
