Okay, honest opinions here:
- the lighting was bad. natural sunlight is best if you don't have a studio white light
-the glare of the screen was on your glasses, the lighting should fix it.
-the background could be more natural. I like seeing a nicely decorated bedroom in the background
-it's a beauty video, get dolled up! We viewers want to take advice or look up to people who look like they know what they're talking about. I would dress up (you picked out some cute clothes in the haul. Put that on!), do your hair and makeup lovely.
-for trying things on, you should do a "screen in screen" putting the b roll of you with the items on in a small box on the corner. Or do a split screen.
-add some transitions, background music, etc. I love cinematic videos!
-be more professional! The intro was anything but welcoming. We want to see that beautiful smile! If you mess up, edit it out.

That's all for now. Sorry if I came off harsh. You have a nice personality and potential, just need to fix the esthetics of it all. I'm an aspiring guru myself and I take videos very seriously. Hope this helped

I agree with Symone:
The background and the lighting aren't very good. Daylight is best or a very bright lamp and a more neutral background would be better- maybe a wall or just your (cleaned up) room. And maybe zoom the camera closer to your face cuz the background isn't that important, right? :) Good luck!
