Hey guys, I’d like to clear up the false information being spread about Sephora donating to Trump.
I and Chase looked into this and there is zero record of Sephora or their parent company LVMH making donations to Trump. This misinformation is stemming from a TikTok siting Sephora as donating to the Trump campaign.
In fact, LVMH has been sited as donating majorly to the democrats according to opensecrets.org. Please see my current Instagram story from Charlotte Palermino of Dieux. It’s the best explanation of this I’ve seen. And let’s all please look into things before we blindly believe everything we see. Unfortunately, that’s exactly how we got where we are now in this country.
@@catethegreatbeauty Thanks Cate for all you do
@@catethegreatbeauty thank you!
I’m so thankful I found your channel!!!
THANK YOU FOR SPEAKING UP! I’m absolutely shattered as they don’t realize the horrors they’ve unleashed. As a business owner the tariffs alone will annihilate our economy. I will have to charge significantly more for products if those tariffs go into place. I wish people would understand basic economics
A lot of the smaller business will suffer greatly because they will charge more and I know I am already planning to sharply reduce my unnecessary spending. Thank you to both Cate and you for speaking up..
Thank you for being so outspoken, Marlena❤️
Not to be dramatic, but this is fine with me bc it’s reversible. I feel like this should happen to illustrate how little these people understand.
💙
@@ReclaimedStyle We HOPE it's reversible! I get what you are saying but with Elon at the help we may be in big trouble.
Cate, I’ve said this to you in private but I will say it publicly as well. Your courage and commitment to women’s rights and the LGBTQ community is something I greatly admire. In situations such as this I think of the quote by Elie Wiesel, “We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented”. I will always choose the side that encourages empathy and compassion.
YES! 🙌
Thank you for using your voice Risa!💖
“Safe for conservative women”?! 🤣🤣🤣 you’re safer with us than with your Trumpster husbands! You’re right, the internalized misogyny is strong. Which means you’re also right to call on more white women using their platforms and privilege to educate their followers about the importance of advocating for the human rights of those more vulnerable.
Thank you for saying “for the fallacy of cheaper groceries and cheaper gas” because that is fact. It’s all a fallacy!
THIS!!!
Exactly.
Yeeeeees ❤
Yep. Just so awful.
Thank you for always speaking up. I’m actively unsubscribing to creators that haven’t been using their platforms to help better our society.
You are amazing for speaking up as much as you do, since most of the other creators cower down and choose not to. I am here and stand with you
I'm shattered. Thank you for coming on. I admire your voice, Cate. I wish more creators would have spoken up also. I believe Social Media IS where people are fed information good and bad.
The silence from some is just not acceptable anymore. I’m done with them.
Never been more proud of your channel and who you are!!! ❤
I am so grateful for your voice. I’ve felt like I was insane this past week. My husband and I just held each other and cried on Wednesday. Thank you for all you do and continue to do 💞
Thank you for using your platform to amplify the right side of history! We need community now more than ever. 💙
You’re one of the real ones Rebecca. When I talk about content creators to follow, you’re at the top of the list!
@@catethegreatbeauty aww that means a lot!!! Thank you!!!!
I’m shattered also..I’m glad that you made this video.
Cate, I am more shattered than your Jones Road bronzer. Thank you for standing strong in your values. These are the types of voices we need to hear (and be) right now. I wholeheartedly and full-throatedly agree with every word you said. Right now I’m letting myself grieve, but this week I’m going pick myself up and get back to work in the context of this new batshit reality.
Thank you so much for this. I've been feeling so alone and need to remember I am not. As you say, it is not just a difference in politics, it is who we want to be as a society and human race.
So proud of you Cate. THANK YOU for doing the work, for using your voice, for holding space for your community.
Thank you dear friend 💖
Thank you for putting your morals and values at the forefront of everything you do. It all feels so bleak and dystopian right now.
👏 I agree!!! I'm scared as hell, so I can't thank you enough for having a space for us❤
Cate - thank you so much for being there for us. My heart is broken at this outcome - it’s a nightmare.
This video is so comforting to watch after such a heartbreaking week. Thank you.
💖💖💖
I am absolutely gutted and have no idea where to even start...thank you for having a space for those of us who believe in being decent human beings who want to stand up for human rights.
I think this quote says it all in relation to what you said about how some ppl just don’t give a shit about other ppl…
“Justice will not be served until those who are unaffected are as outraged as those who are.”
- Benjamin Franklin
Keep one another close. Create strong communities.
Thank you Cate for continuing to speak out and creating a genuinely caring community.
We all need that more than ever❤
Thank you for speaking out, I have so much respect for you! I 100% agree with you and wish more influencers would speak out and not stay silent about these issues. When they don’t it truly makes me wonder who I’m supporting, which is why I always refer back to your list when making purchases ❤
Thank you for your passion and your voice. We will be in this together for the next four years ♥️ Onward ✊
Thank you Cate!
Living in UK I stayed up to watch the results and felt so sad and disappointed… to say the least.
“When a clown moves into a palace, he doesn’t become a king… the palace becomes a circus”.
💙
I am right there with you. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I hope that we can come back from this very dark time.
❤️
I soooo admire you, and will be a fan forever! Keep it up Cate, half the country is with you. The other half will learn soon enough what they’ve done.
100%
We're here for you! Thank you for making the difference and speaking up!!! ❤
💖💖💖
I. AM. NOT. WELL. I feel like I am just on the verge of - I don’t know - trying really hard not to see what that is. Have avoided ALL news and most social media (only watching what will uplift me). Saw your post pop up and anxious to hear your thoughts. Peace to all during the chaos that the next 4 years will bring.
Same here. I unsubscribed from all my political news channels, etc. -- I'm basically on a social media diet of cooking shows, makeup, and film -- at least for now.
I’m with you girl… I want to be more vocal because we are living in an insane world and it just got a whole lot crazier and scarier. Thank you for being you and helping the rest of us.
💖💖💖
You have convinced me to only purchase from pro choice brands from here on out. Thank you for what you do.
Thank you. I have been so heart broken this week. As have my grown daughters. I am going to send the Pro Choice beauty list to both of them. I don’t know how I am going to navigate the next 4 years. Participating in this community will help. Thank you.
Selfish people are Rasing selfish people. I see it every day - I hear about it EVERYDAY from my son when he gets home from school. I am first generation born American Gen-X and I am appalled at my Hispanic people. I voted for my son, for my family, for HUMANITY. And yes...while I am an American born here, I am proud to be of Hispanic heritage BUT yet.... apparently so many selfish (even racist of their own) people are only thinking about themselves AND proved that so many (Hispanic) men are living in this MACHISMO world! Instead of moving forward, we have people that rather go backwards... Thank you for your content! I am so glad to hear you speak on this and advocate. I need to do the same in my own way!
💖💖💖
Same Gen X too I don’t know how much people were unwilling to have these conversations with the young men in my family and the young women and older women who were letting them lead them to dangerous decisions
Thank you for speaking out❤️ It’s so sad watching what is happening to so many people that they have become so selfish and ignorant to other people. It’ not just in USA it’s world wide. I’m sure it will be very though for so many people and that really hurts. I’m glad thoe that there still is people like you that show us there is hope after all❤️
I so appreciate you and I cannot find the right words to adequately express this to you. I'm frustrated with other creators as well. They refer to "it being a bad week" or something else without specifying what they are talking about but we all know. I guess that's their choice/their channel (Ironic words). In their comments are a lot of the Karens going after other commenters who are more direct with their pain. They are emboldened indeed and to see the other open commentors go unprotected is gross. I'm not sure what my own next steps are.
Also, I agree that social media has a huge impact. A lot of the pundits finally are acknowledging that power - would have been nice for them to say that a few months ago.
Finding your channel 3 years ago was a gift to myself! I’m so glad you’re here because your voice is inspiring! 🤟🏼♥️
💖💖💖
I work in the book sphere and one of the most common things my colleagues and I repeat is : EVERYTHING IS POLITICAL
Yup👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Right there with you! Im so sad and scared ...... it helps to find people who are in that same space . So THANK YOU
Thank you for speaking up and putting your spotlight on others. 💗
Thanks for speaking up, even when it might hurt your bottom line! I don’t buy much makeup these days, so I have been unsubscribing from a lot of makeup accounts, especially if they never mention politics and act like nothing is going on, but I’ve stayed subscribed to you because you are one of the most vocal! Have you ever considered making other content, like your personal style, thrifting, or lifestyle? I just don’t watch a lot of makeup content anymore but I love your personality, humor, and integrity!
I’m so grateful for your voice in the beauty community. I’m with you!
So well said, thank you for addressing this and speaking up!! 🙏🏻🥰❤️
Cate, Glad, glad you are speaking out. This country is in dire straits. Cheryl
I know you’ve taken hits on more than level since you went strictly prochoice and as this shit show gets worse and you continue to be amazing it’s not gonna be any easier. Please know that we love and appreciate you for standing strong ❤
💖
Thank you for thoughts so heart broken with the news. I can’t believe that we lost. 😢
Every single thing you said Cate. I am also not okay. This outcome is gutting and is such a goddamn heavy weight. I would love to share more of how I'm feeling, but I just keep having such a loss for words to articulate myself at all. Thank you thank you thank you for being here ❤
I'm crying right now at your words. I have been angry, depressed and in shock. And I have to say that the few friends I have on the "other side" won't be seeing me for awhile because now I know who they really are! Do they think this is a game? I just hope (can't even say pray because the evangelicals are hypocrites) that these next four years aren't as horrific as I'm contemplating. Thank you Cate for being here.
💖💖💖
So appreciative of your ability to speak up with the American situation at this time! You are amazing! Thank you for the values you represent from this Canadian follower ❤️
Thank you for speaking your truth! I’m a white, Christian woman, raised during a time where you never asked someone their political beliefs. Getting used to speaking out politically is still tough for me. Having this platform really helps. No matter how I feel personally about abortion, I will NEVER and have NEVER taken away a woman’s right to choose. It is their body and their choice. The fact that Americans elected a convicted felon, rapist, misogynist (the list goes on and on), and for what? The promise of cheaper groceries? This idiot has no understanding of economics. How many times has he filed for bankruptcy? I’m truly heartbroken for our country as they have no idea what they’ve unleashed!
Thank you for this👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I'm an American living in Switzerland....and I voted from abroad....and am gutted. Thank you for openly sharing (and having the conversation) that is so necessary. So many content creators are afraid to lean at all to the left for fear of losing followers or sponsors....and it's bullshit. So well done you!! Bravo!
Thanks for staying true to who you are and what you stand for. Love you. Cate. I can't even say more than that. My mind and heart are a complete mess right now. ❤
I also want to give a shoutout to Evangeline Molly. She’s Canadian, but she did a really nice, calming type of video after our election. In general, she does a lot of fun makeup looks with really unique inspiration (in my YT circle anyway), and I always find her videos to be very soothing. They were a real comfort even in the days before the election.
Thank you Cate for expressing so succinctly what so many of us feel. Yes, it IS about morality and empathy and not about politics. Agree 100%. I truly admire your openness, wisdom and integrity. Thank you so very much.
💖💖💖
i can't believe this is happening again. thank you for always speaking up
Thank you so much for talking about it. The ones who don't are sellouts. I'm 73 and experienced the coat hanger years as a teenager in Texas. This is a gut punch to the soul. I screamed so loud and long that morning that I peed into my robe. It helps to hear other women. We need to share. I think it's healing.
Need to go UNSUBSCRIBE from the sellouts!!!
Thank you for talking about it! It's weird watching some beauty influencers just going on like everything is o.k!
There are some that have spoken out. They deserve out support.
There are some in the RUclips beauty community but very few. Risa Does Makeup, Haute Mess Tom, Frugalista, and Hannah Louise Posten have all been vocal. As I mentioned, I’ll be recommending content creators moving forward. I assure you I’ll be sharing other people who choose to be vocal.
So disturbing. I’m done with them all.
or even worse: speaking out like "that's none of their and our business"!! 😮 what?? I litterally ran away from "them", not after telling my thoughts. disgusting, really 🤢
@@vickibrenner7029
I thought the same thing.
So well said! Thank you for being courageous. We see you and appreciate you. ❤
I had brunch with my adult daughter and a mutual friend. I adore these women. Inevitably the conversation was on reproductive rights. They are both stoping with one child. Both have small daughters Both husbands are having vasectomies. My daughter and her husband are relocating in the next few years because Virginia is not reliably blue. I have had so many young women reach out, looking for me to help them feel better and I don’t know how. I just don’t. Except I listen and never diminish their fears. Thank you Cate. Thank you for publicly standing up.
💖
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for always being an advocate despite the consequences - consequences that I’m sure were significantly financial but more than that having to go through the emotional abuse it took to make this a truly safe place for your audience. Having seen only a fraction of that myself, I don’t know that I would’ve survived it. You not only never gave up but Have expanded your outreach and helped more people than you will ever know. There is no way to say thank you for that But it truly means everything!
This comment means everything to me. Thank you. And I just followed your channel! Everyone go follow Critical Beauty! Thank you for all you do❤️
I also really appreciate the creators list because I am personally having an absolutely awful time clicking on and paying attention to videos that are beauty only. I get that there’s a time and a place for that. There has to be. But I am not there yet. I am not at a place where I can handle hearing a review from someone who is acting like it’s business as usual.
I came across someone IRL yesterday that when asked what they thought would happen to actual friends of theirs in marginalized communities, they with a straight face looked at me and said nothing. They’ll be fine. Somebody who doesn’t even pretend to care about the economy, but they literally just don’t believe the things that these people straight out, said that they were gonna do…. it’s really hard living in a world where it’s not just the callousness the selfishness and the hate but the divorce from reality itself. I feel like I’m walking towards a cliff with a blindfold on already, but like it’s truly so much worse than my actual nightmares.
@@catethegreatbeauty I just came across a podcast on RUclips called the “I’ve had It podcast” I’ve only seen two videos so I certainly can’t vouch for it being vetted in any way, but I definitely like what I’ve seen so far!
Thank you for this... Needed it. I have been so sad and heartsick the last week. We are going to have to live with this decision and it is so scary. Glad you are all here.
Us as women have to stick together even more so going forward. Thanks so much for speaking about this. Followers love this more so than the silence.
💖💖💖
You are so right when you say it's nuts that some people don't think about others when they decide who to vote for, it's taken me decades to realise this 🤦🏽 Sending you guys so much love, support and solidarity 🙏🏽✊🏽💙💔🏴
You are so brave and an inspiration.. thanks for using your platform to do good ❤❤❤
Fuck, I needed this. Thank you for sharing and making a safe space. You look gorgeous as always.
Thank you so much for watching and for your support. 🙏❤️
Thank you for what you are doing! Every voice matters in this fight. And I love Jessica Valenti - I think I found her through you and she is incredible.
👏🏻💖
And no. We can’t “just get along.” My idiot neighbor (in Los Angeles, btw!) asked me “so you’re really going to look at me differently?!It’s not that serious!” Ummmm yes I am and yes it is!!
There’s nothing like the audacity of voting away someone’s rights and then telling them it’s not that serious.
@@lesleyvandernoot9369 I’m in Los Angeles, sis. You now have a new neighbor 💙
@ 💙💙
Thank you for how hard you work, everything you do, and staying true to your morals! ❤
Thank you so much for your support💖
Thank you for sharing and ALWAYS fighting this fight ❤
Thank you Cate! Love you and everyone here.
Thank you for using your platform to speak for those of us who don't have a voice. I always say if you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem.
💖
Thank you for creating this community. ❤️
💖💖💖
Thank you for making this video. It’s sad to say you are being brave for speaking out about our fellow humans but clearly you are being brave, while so many are silent. ❤
Thank you for using your platform and influence for such important human rights issues. I’ve been so disappointed by how many content creators with large platforms say nothing. Silence in the face of oppression is siding with the oppressor.
💖
Thank you for being here for ALL of US💖. And Happy Early 11th Anniversary🎊! It’s so comforting and reassuring to know that there are people like you, people who care about others and just know what’s right (this has rather become not so obvious). Also, so much respect for making your Values known and not giving up your integrity by pleasing those who don’t agree with you. As an Asian woman who recently became a US citizen, I was beginning to feel like I could truly become part of this country. That hope was shattered a few days ago. We live in the South, and now I don’t feel safe going anywhere by myself, maybe except for Sephora and Ulta. I was looking over my shoulders even when I was inside Sephora the day after. That’s why I greatly appreciate people okie you💝 I’m married to an amazing man who cares about others’ future, my friends are all very supportive, so I’m very fortunate and grateful. Also, YOU. I feel like I’m part of your community where I can feel safe. Thank you so much, and I’d also like to support you and everyone in your community💖
Hi Cate, aspiring HMUA here. It encourages me more than I can describe to know that it IS possible to cultivate a following of kind, sensitive and critically thinking individuals. I have been worried about starting my own social media platforms, but you have encouraged me to want to be extremely out and open with what I cannot tolerate on my page. It seems like the bare minimum but Cate, you are doing what so many are afraid to do, and I admire you so much for that💙💙💙 we will all get through this TOGETHER!
💖💖💖
This made me feel a little better "Someone asked me, 'Aren’t you worried about the state of the world?' I allowed myself to breathe and then I said, 'What is most important is not to allow your anxiety in the world to fill
Your heart. If your heart is filled with anxiety, you will get sick, and you will not be able to help.'" - Thich Nhat Hanh
Thank you! I could not agree more with every single thing you said. I am still in awe of the stupidity and lack of empathy in this country. We will be here for each other through this. ❤
Beautifully done. Thank you, Cate, for not being afraid to speak out. 💙
I’m so grateful for you and your safe space. I am numb, angry and scared as a disabled person. You are amazing and again thank you for all you do!
💖
This is your first youtube video that I’ve seen. I feel less alone now. Thank you! I have subscribed. Also, I never thought of pro choice brands, it didn’t ever cross my mind. Again thank you for this, I’ll be spending my money supporting those brands.
Thank you Cate for speaking up and out for all of us.
Thank You for this!! It helps to know I’m not alone in my feelings.
Thank you so much for this. Honestly, my excitement and interest in the beauty world is gone right now. It all seems so frivolous and superficial compared to what has happened and what is about to happen. I appreciate you and your honesty and compassion more than you know. Other youtubers - and even those I like and admire - are just a bit too happy and chipper. Even those who claim to be for equality and kindness, I am just starting to wonder about everyone. Being afraid to speak out and stand up has gotten us to where we are. I am just feeling quite scared, empty, and alone right now. ❤
I understand ❤️
I have never felt like I do right now about this country. I am devastated. Thank you. I appreciate you and your channel. I am truly scared for my daughter's and grandchildren. 😢. We can change things and we still must use our voice to make changes.
I literally got in my car on Thursday (after wallowing all day on Wednesday) and I was like "all of these people are just driving around like nothing happened". I'm at a loss as to how we can recover from this.
Yes to content creator list!
Sending so many hugs to you. If more people were like you, what a world it would be ❤️
Thank you…as always…❤ I will watch this in its entirety once I rebound a bit…💕🌞💕
💙💙💙 thank you for being here for us.
💖💖💖
Cate, thank you so much. I have always loved your videos but to know you aline with the right side of history is amazing. I literally wept for 4 days in a row. As a mom of 3 girls what this country did was such a gut punch. Thanks for being you and using your voice!!!!!!!! Sending you so much 💗
💖
Thank you so much for posting this. I have been struggling so much. I cried for so long but now I just feel numb. I can’t make sense of the fact that so many people voted against my rights as a queer woman. I completely agree that we need to stand together right now. We cannot isolate ourselves or abandon each other. We need to lean on each other and take care of each other as much as possible.
I’ve been trying to stay off social for my own mental health but I had a feeling this would be a helpful video to watch. Thank you for continuing to speak out. Thank you for helping me feel less alone. Thank you for all you do 💗💗
You are not alone 💖
Well said Cate! Awesome work!
💖💖💖
I do agree with your each & every word... thank you for this type of video... always with you and will support you ❤️
New subscriber here. THANK YOU for bringing these topics into beauty. They are universal and I only want to support people who care.
The beauty community's silence is so frightening. It speaks to the fear most feel in speaking up but also to your bravery in doing so. We are so lucky to have you in our lives, Cate. You are a GEM and a leader in the most important political and human rights issues of our lives. (Editing to add that I shared your message on my FB account in case I know anyone there who is needing community. Thank you for bolstering us!).
Thank you for this comment and thank you so much for sharing💖💖💖
Thank you for this, I feel the same, and so ashamed we didn’t show or showed up for the wrong candidate. I was so damn sure this was going to be the right outcome……and it’s absolutely correct, this isn’t about a difference in politics! Thank you for being a safe space!
Oh Cate, I can hear in your voice how upset you are. I’m right there with you. I’ve lost my faith in humanity and have been inconsolable all week. I really needed this video today. You’re the best-thank you for building and committing to your community here. Sending endless good vibes to you and everyone from California. ❤
Just popping in here to say hi. Everyone needs to grieve and be angry and process what happened and return to their work in the world in their own time so they can be effective with their voice. Very much have been monitoring what I consume on media since Wed early morning but I’m so glad I saw this. Thank you and glad to see you.
I have been watching you for years, and so much of what you have said here is spot on. Thank you for everything you've said. People who voted for him have no idea what they've done.
YOU are the best. Your message today really resonated with me and I think you are doing a great thing with your channel.
