If you answered yes to any of these questions, odds are you follow Alix Earle on all social media platforms.

So why are people obsessed? Let’s explain.

Alix shook the internet just by sitting in front of her phone. Alix Earle, 22 is a senior marketing student at The University of Miami. She is most well known for her infamous “Get Ready With Me” style videos. 

Currently, Alix Earle has 4 million followers on TikTok and 1.8 million on Instagram. In just a month, Alix gained over 2 million followers on TikTok according to Yahoo.com.

Her extroverted & genuine personality made the internet fall in love with her. Alix talks about topics most influencers do not, such as: her Accutane experience, her struggle with acne, cosmetic procedures and anxiety. 

By doing this, she makes her followers feel connected to her. It feels as though you’re on facetime with Alix while she gets ready. 

 

Products Alix Sold out

 

Have you ever wondered why products like white eyeliner, Tarte Shape Tape concealer, Fit Me Maybelline concealer, Charlotte Tilbury Lip Cheat Liner, Too Faced Better Than Sex Waterproof Mascara, Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Liquid Blush or Drunk Elephant D-Bronzi Anti-Pollution Sunshine Drops have been out of stock?

Your answer: Alix Earle.

Not only has she sold out makeup products, but also most of the items linked on her Amazon Storefront. If Alix Earle uses a product, everyone wants it.

 

Alix and MLB Viral Breakup

 

Alix wears her heart on her sleeve, she was very honest with the internet about her split with MLB player Tyler Wade. Their breakup shook everyone because Alix revealed that her ex-boyfriend never posted about her. 

She leveraged her marketing skills with this situation by explaining just enough, but not everything. Earle stated in a recent TikTok Live that she would “spill the beans” and how it would “only be right” to talk about her breakup in depth on podcast Call Her Daddy with host Alex Cooper.

Her breakup went so viral that it even made it to ESPN. Stated in a Santa segment, “Santa, the big guy was everywhere. The only human or large elf or otherwise getting more recognition this week than Alix Earle.” 

Then the two hosts went on to say, “Did you hear she broke up with her boyfriend cause he wouldn’t post her on Insta?”

Funny enough, they didn’t bring up the fact her ex-boyfriend is a MLB player or even say his name!

 

Brands Alix has worked with

 

As the world caught on to how influential Alix Earle is, brands did too. Alix has worked with White Fox Boutique, Revolve, Rare Beauty, Rhode Skin, Tarte, Too Faced, Fashion Nova, Pretty Little Thing, Frankies Bikinis and many more well known brands. 

This is also not limited to just beauty and fashion, alcohol companies such as Budlight, Hampton Water, and Casa Del Sol have even reached out to her.

Alix has had amazing business opportunities that she probably has only dreamt about! Her most recent opportunity was to travel internationally to Dubai with Tarte for one of their “Trippin With Tarte” events.

You’d think that’s where it stops? No. Creators are even looking into what she eats in a day. Social media star Trisha Paytas even went as far as ordering what Alix ordered at the LA based grocery store Erewhon.

She posted a video on TikTok reviewing the food as well. 

In Alix’s original TikTok of her Erewhon order, she was wearing a sweat set from the well known brand The Mayfair Group.

This brand has been worn by many famous people such as: Hailey Bieber, Justin Bieber and Sydney Sweeney. The Mayfair Group reposted Alix in their clothes to all of their social media pages.
