At the beginning of 2015, Bianca's channel had over 2,5 million subscribers. To give something back to her followers, Bianca decided to create her own cosmetic brand. She called the brand Bilou, an abbreviation for Bianca Loves You. Her first product was a bath foam which she decided to launch through the DM stores. Bianca took marketing very seriously, causing the product to sell out within hours in most stores. Besides great marketing, Bianca knew how to target the right audience. She made her product completely vegan, made it smell like doughnuts and, most importantly, made sure to make it cheap. In this case, successful sales were expected, if not certain.
Bianca was getting much deal offers from different brands. One of the most interesting offers came from Sony Mobile, who approached her with a chance to customize their new smartphone. She took the offer and launched her own customized version of the Sony Xperia M4 Aqua Mobile Phone, which had her face alongside her signature printed on the cover. This made Bianca realize just how much she is popular in Germany. At the end of 2016, her channel hit the 3 million subscribers milestone, and in addition to that, Bianca's channel appeared in that year's YouTube Rewind.
Battle of the most subscribed German influencers
BibisBeautyPalace channel started to catch on the most subscribed German channel, Gronkh. Her channel got the most subscribers, and Bianca became the owner of the most popular YouTube channel in Germany. Since YouTube influencers' fans can be quite competitive, her popularity backlashed when Gronkh's fans started a new internet trend. It said, "Subscribe to Gronkh, unsubscribe to BiBi". This event slowed Bianca's progress a little bit, but not nearly enough to take her crown.
In 2017, Bianca decided to make an appearance in the music industry. She released a song called How It Is (Wap, Bap) alongside a music video, which she posted on her YouTube channel. Despise Bianca's marketing and good quality music video, the release went the opposite way than expected. In a matter of days, the video became the eleventh most disliked video on YouTube, with 3,2 million dislikes from 60 million views.

They used to be the YouTube dream couple, but that changed after Bianca received a lot of criticism for her actions. In 2014 she organized a get-together for her fans in the centre of Cologne. It seemed like a nice gesture until it became clear that Bianca didn't announce this event to the city, and it caused some injuries. Besides that, some fans really hated her customized mobile phones and called them a rip-off. Julian appeared in numerous Bianca's videos. They once found a melted mobile phone case in their clothes and decided to jokingly add it for sale on eBay.
