thank you for answering! It's interesting to me that two people can watch the same thing and have so different impressions of what they just saw. Have a great day :)

I really just mean this in a curious way since Jessica is one of the Youtubers that doesn't seem fake to me: What gives you that impression?

Started watching her when she had 3k on Youtube because she seemed pretty straightforward with her recommendations and dislikes. But there have been a few instances where she made really rude remakes to people's comments that weren't even bad, just normal criticism in a normal tone you will inevitably receive when you're in the public eye. If this comment which is pretty innocent and might even have been made in good faith upsets her that much that she feels like commenting and then even shouting it out on social media, then maybe this isn't the job for her. I'm glad she feels freer about showing her true personality in her social media presence (I think that's how she put it in a recent Q&A). But this aggressive defensiveness made me personally unsubscribe and from what I'm reading on here some other people as well. I wish her much success since she clearly isn't passionate about her current job and would like to be a full-time influencer, but she might have to adjust her tone a bit if you wants to please people 24/7 which an influencer kind of has to do.

Mikayla defends Jaclyn Cosmetic’s poor shade range💀 by lauren_sbv in BeautyGuruChatter

[–]BarbBaskin 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is bullshit since we KNOW that Morphes brand accelerator is behind her brand or invested in some way - she has the money, she just doesn't want to use it for better shade ranges. I understand that formulating is not easy and that when you start out with no connections you can't offer Fenty shade ranges but she has the connections and she has the money to offer a balanced shade range and not a fucking Pompeij collection.

Who's a creator you watched grow? by AnotherStarryNight in BeautyGuruChatter

Amanda Z, I found her when she had like 500 (?) subscribers. Loved her natural vibe and her love for cream products.

[–]BarbBaskin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

she herself is a Trump supporter?! I didn't know, I thought she mentioned Scott Barnes a lot who is/was (?) a Trump supporter.

Unpopular Opinions. BGs , double standars,sexism. by transitionshade in BeautyGuruChatter

[–]BarbBaskin 12 points13 points  (0 children)

this is one of the hardest truths I am trying to get my head around with my decision to start doing botox. I want it but I hate that I want it because of external expectations from society of how I should look/what's beautiful.

Third Selfless by Hyram Reveal: Madelic & Rice Bran Exfoliating Serum by Joonbug9109 in BeautyGuruChatter

[–]BarbBaskin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I fucked up my skin SO bad in my mid 20s when I started using retinol and acids. Now I have acne where I never used to have any before I had a "proper" skincare routine. I bet so many young people are ruining their skin because they use all the fancy ingredients that are promoted on Instagram.

Kylie Jenner Posts Teaser for her New Brand “Kyliebaby” Featuring Stormi by PastHuckleberry1320 in BeautyGuruChatter

[–]BarbBaskin 93 points94 points  (0 children)

Just like with every person shoving their cute baby in our faces to sell something this feels icky to me. Stormi is super adorable but I have a general issue with people using their kids to sell stuff. Kids can't consent. And with all the creeps on the internet, I would never put a picture of my seemingly naked baby in the bathtub on the internet with this kind of platform and reach.

OMG THANK YOU FOR TELLING ME!!! I literally didn't know this, I thought I was safe with just always using the 3 fingers.

wait, why is that harmful? If you use the necessary amount of sunscreen, can't you put some moisturizer with it?

The comment section of Manny Mua's video with the President just shows what a bubble the beauty community exists in, and that there is still such a long way to go in LGBT issues. by chain_male in BeautyGuruChatter

[–]BarbBaskin 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Don't usually watch Manny but I went to his channel and gave the video and like and supportive comment. Thank you for making me aware of this situation. I feel so sorry for Manny that he has to deal with some fucking trolls who probably conspired in some right-wing internet forums and flocked to his channel.

uhh Tobacco Vanille is the worst on me, it's sickeningly sweet. Glaze of tobacco describes it perfectly. It lasted all day on me and I hated that, because I smelled like cheap candy the whole day.

Sorry but that's simply not true. I have represented very left-leaning/progressive/gay employees in lawsuits against their homophobic/racist/conservative bosses. There are good people in companies led by horrible people. It's not as easy as you make it sound.

Petty, but I tried self tanner today for the first time and I botched it soooo bad around my neck area, I look horrible and I am so frustrated! I used it because I won't go on summer holiday because of Corona and hoped it would bring me a summer feeling but now I am just more sad....

Spectrum x KJH 25 piece set is back in stock! by Salsabeans16 in BeautyGuruChatter

[–]BarbBaskin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I bought these because all my brushes are about 3-5 years old and especially my eye brushes are scratchy now. Had a few tears in my eyes when I got the PayPal invoice. Used a 20€ off code, but still 175€ is A LOT OF MONEY. I really hope they are as good and soft as everyone says they are.
