Full circle – influencer edition and the disappointment

Hi my Readers

Today, a video has been circling the web and it is about influencers and their false claims.
The particular video is about influencer that shows mascara and some of her colleagues are calling her out on it because she looks like she is using false lashes. The video is sponsored and it caught the eyes of the people too.

I have stopped following as much as I used to and even if I do, I tend to not get involved too much, but this one was interesting to me because the people who jumped to defend her, mentioned big corporations and how the influensers or the people weren’t calling them out on it. I have seen influensers and many people talking about that subject so I know that’s not true, but what struck me the most is that people defend something that influencers have made influencers in the first place – their reviews and their honesty because people were tired of the big corporations lying and spending so much on marketing and tricking people into buying things that are far from that glitzy commercial that has played over and over again.

The disapointment comes because the whole point of influencers is to prove the marketing side of the big companies that are wrong. People started trusting influencers because they were honest with their reviews and once they start to seem dishonest, then it all goes downhill from there.

I am very pleased to see that other colleagues and influensers have cast a light and hopefully it will be a lesson to everyone – the consumer as well because consumers and potential consumers have the biggest power when it comes to this.

Just let’s not cancel people. Mistake is a mistake. If we don’t see improvements after they have been exposed, only then we can move toward canceling. Let’s leave that thing in the past, along with the pandemic.

Wishing you a good one,

Body tuning apps and filters are ruining our perception for beauty

Hi my Readers 🙂

I am surprised that so many beauty persons are promoting „face tuning“. When beauty persons are promoting that with all of their full coverage and amazing maeup, what message are they sending to the persons that their niche is not doing beauty videos? They feel preasurred to do the same. So, we are coming to something very harmfull – not accepting your body as it is. From that, they expose themselves to medical procedures just to „better“ themselves (in their minds).

When your insta feed is filled with your favorite beauty influencers, you can’t help but notice that everyone is conforming the same shape. They are all trying to look the same, wearing the same fast-fashion pieces, doing their makeup the same – neutral. There is serious lack of imagination. But people still admire them.

Do you really need to place filters or tune your face? – No

Do you really need to put fillers and inject your face? – No

I think people forget that it is this peoples job to do that. Their place of living is mostly LA and their events involve other people like them.

This is really nicely explain in this video. If you din’t have the patience to watch it, watch it in sped up.

Another amazing video about this is:

 

Again, you can watch this videos sped up so you can watch them whole but at the same time don’t need to click out just because you don’t have time 🙂

I didn’t particularly liked parts of myself before. But then I realized, there is no other like me. I am unique and that should be the standard. Not „everyone looks like this and so should I“. Imagine all the people in the world being dressed in the same uniform, doing their makeup the same and doing their hair the same. Scary ain’t it?

Share your thoughts on this subject. I an curious to see if there are more people that are thinking like me, or have the opposite thoughts on this subject.

Remember to do something good today.

Have a nice one 😉
