I think we should all stop the “it feels cheap” mentality and give priority to move towards ecofriendly packaging. That way companies will not feel obligated to use harmful packaging. We NEED to move towards sustainability.

UPDATE: Super confused...I'm seeing all these people saying the packaging was designed to be easy to open...and just as many people saying that's not true..? Robert Welsh apparently reached out to the brand to ask if this was true and the brand confirmed it was NOT intentionally designed to be easy to open.... Does anyone have any more info on this? How did this rumor begin? ANOTHER UPDATE: You guys, help...the Selena stans are here 😳

I believe she focused her brand to be eco-friendly or green, if I'm not mistaken. I think they're meant to be recyclable (: which would probably give that papery feel because some prints and inks aren't as biodegradable so that could be a factor. To each their own, I think it's pretty cool for the brand to be eco-friendly. I feel like many of the beauty companies focus too much on packaging and PR packages that I toss or gets tossed anyway. It's a waste and I feel bad for the environment when I toss it out. Personally, I think more companies should be more eco-friendly with their packages and products! (:

@greeleyestateslove 3 жыл бұрын

Hey sorry but please don't spread anything false. Vegan and cruelty free DOES NOT mean green or sustainable. I havent read anything green about rare beauty, I looked. If they want to showcase that, it should be easy to find good things the brand is doing around sustaimability. Prove me wrong!

I was thinking the same thing, actually, about the packaging! I haven’t looked into the brand much in terms of materials used but it would make sense since many plastics used for packaging are not accepted by local recycling companies or just can not be recycled period (based on the kind of plastic it’s made of).

@greenlean8890 3 жыл бұрын

I think the paper packaging should be embraced. This is a single use package that is immediately thrown out! We need to collectively move toward materials & packaging that can easily decompose and isn't harmful on the planet. I am happy Rare Beauty considered our environment when creating packaging and PR, just think about the immense amount of additional plastic trash it could have caused if they went for all plastic instead. We the people decide where companies will put there focus. If we complain that paper packaging feels "too cheap" then companies will stop taking sustainable measures and continue making everything with plastic, since creating with plastic is the cheapest option for the company already. Each one of us has control on the future of our planet. When we voice a desire and demand for sustainable and environmental packaging and products, companies change their practices to provide it. We have been brainwashed into thinking plastic is high-end due to the mass use of plastic, when in reality plastics are extremely cheap materials which is why they have been widely used by companies. We have inherited decades of harmful environmental practices, and now we have to look at the environmental neglect and re-train ourselves to see the benefit of sustainability and environmental responsibility. I know it can take a long time to reduce plastic dependence, but single-use plastics is the best way to start! PS:I recommended paper packages that can decompose since recycling plastics is a myth; less than 9% of all plastics in the world have been recycled!

Same!!!!! I recommend nudi goods. Even if mainstream makeup items are recyclable it also needs to be easy to get the product remnants out when its gone. Rare beauty products aren't recyclable, that I read. What could be worse is her base is saying its eco friendly or sustainable or green when it is just cruelty free and vegan. Cruelty free and vegan is great but is the minimum she could do? The thousands of products will go to landfill, that is not eco friendly lol. Lots of brands have been CF for years. Also I was reading but don't quote me that all chemicals are tested in some way on animals but after it gets approved its in a special approved category, and people claim that to be cruelty free/vegan even though AT ONE TIME previously it WAS being tested on animals. So she is benefitting from labs who tested it in the past but now claiming its not tested on animals.

For me personally, I couldn’t care less about the packaging. I’m just going to throw the box away or recycle it. And as far and the packaging of the product itself, I don’t really care about that also. I’m buying the product for the product inside. As long as that’s great. I’m happy. Also, can we as a community push for biodegradable packing? All of this plastic is going into penguins stomachs basically. The beauty community puts out SO much waste. I wish we would make a demand for biodegradable packaging. We can do better!❤️ EDIT: Also I didn’t mean my comment in a rude or snarky way towards Alexandria or anyone.

I’m always confused when people say something has “too much pigment” like with the brow products. I’d rather train myself to have a softer hand then use up half the product trying to get a look for my eyebrows. Maybe it’s because I’m a darker skin toned but I run through Benefit eyebrow products in less than 2 months and I have full eyebrows. And that’s with not using it everyday

RIP the lightbulb behind Alex: you will be missed, but it was finally your time. Also, compliments on the audio. The mic muff must be helping, and you can always play around with a lo-pass filter in post (or while shooting if you record audio on a dedicated recorder that has a lo-pass filter). Can't hear the fan too much. One thing I will say is that I've always appreciated your channel for not using background music. Not that I hate background music, but I think a lot of KZfaqrs use it unecessarily, and it only complicates the editing and publishing process (i.e., sourcing copyright free content/avoiding copyright strikes).

You do a great job of explaining those things, while also thoroughly showing up close what each does.

I used to think like this until i found the kabuki sigma brush. Amazing! I still use sponge though. Especially when using matte foundation which is the one i usually use because I'm oily skin.

Packaging is probably either canvas or linen cardstock (or something similar like felt). Other end of textures would be gloss, smooth, etc. I like to think of it as paint types for smooth papers and fabric types for textured paper. Designed stationary for a wedding one time, and now I have this vocabulary jangling around in my head for life ✨

I've seen a lot of Selena stans going around creators reviews of this line saying things like "this is for natural people" "this is for someone who doesn't cake their face" "this is for people that are pretty", like, dismissing the purpose of reviews and thinking that wear a full face of makeup is something to be ashamed of rather than be proud of. THANK YOU for this review, you are so straight yo the point, and a lot of people trust you because you can not be bought. Love from México 💜💜💜

@myFrigidLand 3 жыл бұрын

Not a selena fan, but I think some makeup brands are lost in translation. Alot of companies such as it cosmetics, glossier and korean makeups are not intended for a full face glam, these brands are specifically marketed to the "natural makeup" women and although a review should validate a products effectivity, product description should also be taken into consideration. Sorry if this is such a long descriptive comment, I just felt the need to explain this as I just finished a long tedious thesis paper on different makeup brands

Honestly these products are so good for any age, specially grown woman’s with a bit of wrinkles because all of these products moisturize the skin to make it look fluffy and healthy.

We as a community need to stop being sucked into pointlessly fancy, expensive packaging that's just going to get tossed into the trash once it's empty no matter how pretty and bougie it is on the outside. We're drowning our planet in plastic and trash. We need to start caring about the future of our planet for the next generation instead of how expensive looking a bottle of foundation you're going to throw away looks.

@MsHelloerz 3 жыл бұрын

The packaging is already plastic so i dont understand the point of your comment? If anything glass packaging (considered to be more luxurious) is better for the environment. If you mean her comment on the outer packaging she just said she doesn’t like the look of it and the kind of paper they used not that they should start using plastic.

@msspringtime99 3 жыл бұрын

Your comment seems a bit contradictory. On one hand you are against other types of packaging (non-plastic), and on the other hand you are arguing that we drown our planet in plastic... and she is saying she doesn’t like the plastic packaging ? So wouldn’t you be for a fancier, maybe glass packaging???

Tbh, when most people heard she was dropping a make-up line, they pre-judged it and said it was just a cash grab. Now KZfaqrs and MUAs are trying it and actually liking it. People of color also tend to like the products more because it's so pigmented and like that they don't have to use half the bottle on their face to get color payoff, seems like the reason why these products aren't suited for Alexandra is because she's very pale and doesn't like much pigment on her skin
