We passed the $10,000 target! 😱😭🐨 Completely blown away by what this community has achieved together. I can't quite put into words how much this means - thank you so so much for your support. I look forward to taking you all along with me to visit Kangaroo Island Wildlife Park later this year! x

Dear Matilda, take care during quarantine...

The back of Matilda's left hand must be amazingly moisturized.

Haha luckily I even it out by applying hand cream every night Frannie! 😄 x

[@rachelweinstein9008]

Dear Matilda, so heartbroken with you and all of you there who have suffered with the terrible bush fires 🔥 in Australia. Can’t comprehend the devastation. I know we’re talking decades in future if the ecosystem ever truly recovers. I’m sick over the loss of the animals and the people who’ve lost their lives. I admire you so much for your work in the fundraising process; you stand head and shoulders above so many cause you’re using your platform to really help and to help us consider what we can do. So happy to see these links listed which I trust cause of you. You know I’m a devoted fan of yours always admired god your style and uniqueness of your channel. I love it so! Your presentation of your beauty products as a representation of the fires was stunning and powerful. You are truly an artist! I pray for Australia 🇦🇺 and pray the suffering will be limited. God Bless you, girl, for this beautiful and powerful video. And as always, girl, you have some beautiful hands! Love seeing them! Love from the States and God Speed, Rachel 🙏💕🌷☹️

[@matildaonvideo]

Thank you so much for the kind words Rachel! It's very much appreciated ☺️ You're quite right - the fact that we have decades of recovery ahead is overwhelming. Hundreds of years of growth lost in an instant, both in terms of our landscape and wildlife populations, so even though the worst of the fires have passed, it's still worth drawing attention to the situation x

[@lunarsvrant8641]

With everything happening now, the corona virus, the bushfire, I feel anxious of losing friends from all over the world. Please stay strong, Matilda, Australia, and everyone. I will never stop praying for us. Love from Indonesia ✨

Thank you 🇦🇺 x

Thank you so much! I really appreciate that ☺️ The response has been incredible! So blown away by the generosity from around the world x

[@nicole-kp4el]

matilda, i can't quite put into words how grateful and glad i am with what you're fundraising for and your support of our country and KI. you had me in tears thinking about our poor country and wildlife and i'm so grateful you're using your platform to help. sending all my love from melbourne

[@matildaonvideo]

Ohh thank you so much Nicole, this comment nearly had me in tears too! 😭 I'm sure you've felt equally overwhelmed watching the devastation in Victoria from the safety of the city. So glad the worst is over but there's still such a long way to go, so I wanted to try to keep the conversation alive! x

[@eddie6477]

I love this video. Hearing you talk so with so much passion about how the cause is close to your heart really hits home how bad the fires have been and how much they affected the landscape, even on the other side of the world, on a rainy little island that I can't even imagine being affected like that. Thank you for sharing it on a platform like yours, and in such an interesting way!

[@matildaonvideo]

Thank you so much Molly! Can't tell you how much I appreciate this thoughtful comment. Glad that passion comes across! ☺️ x

I got a little sad when I realised that I can't get some of this stuff in Canada but I'll definitely be on the lookout if I ever visit Australia! : )))

[@matildaonvideo]

Several of these brands are sold overseas or on websites that ship internationally! ✈️ x

[@megann4415]

I feel that! Even if they ship to Canada, the international shipping can be quite expensive!

[@sofiapeng6772]

And after the statement at 6:23, I’m waiting for a “Matilda in kitchen” serie😚❤️ I’ve been watching your videos for a while and well, I was just pleasantly surprised by the fact that you reply to every single comment. That’s so thoughtful and I can’t imagine how much time it takes you. You’re such an inspiration and believe me when I say that I want to be a hard-working person like you, not only when I’ll grow up. I’m 15 (can’t get used to say this ahah) and on the way to becoming a sort-of adult (I think?) and you’re a person that I genuinely look up to, because you do what you’re passionate about, you care about others, you’re environmentally conscious and adding to that you’ve studied and worked hard to get to where you are now. Also your taste in, well, everything is so elegant and timeless (you’re actually the reason why I’ve been changing my style and leaving behind the fast-fashion trends). I think I’ve been rumbling enough and lost the point of this comment quite a few times, in the end I just want to say thank you, to always be this sincere and I’ll be sending you all of my love from Italy 🇮🇹❤️ (sorry if I made any mistake but, as you can probably tell by now, it isn’t my first language 🙃)

Hello Matilda. You are an Aussie Legend 3 times over 1.You gave the world, esp the USA CONTEXT as to our loss. Kangaroo Island is almost 3 times bigger than O'hau. 2. You presented the colours that have flooded our TV screens and our back yards since September 2019 via Makeup. Genius and also CONTEXT. 3. You spoke your Truth and used your platform so beautifully. We don't want pity we want understanding. We were the Canary down the Mine that is telling the world we HAVE a problem. Beautifully done. With my regards Tassie Joy

Thank you 🐨💔 x

[@Es_Tay]

As an Aussie it's so good to see a video full of products I can actually buy, as you know a lot of your favourites don't ship here. And even more amazing bringing awareness to such an important cause. I'm fortunate enough to have been living in an area that wasn't to close to the fires when they were at their worst. Though a small town about an hour away was completely lost. For months the skies were just filled with smoke. The recent rain all up and down the east coast was such a blessing for all. Keep up the good work Matilda, you'll reach 10K in no time. (= (=

[@matildaonvideo]

Thank you Tay! My family and I were lucky to be safe in a city too, but friends weren't so lucky and it was just devastating to watch what was happening around the country. So glad to see all that rain at last! 👏 x

[@tatevikmovsesyan262]

The images of adorable koalas clutching at the rescuers for safety and shelter was heartbreaking 💔 unfortunately living in Southern California/los angeles I’m well too aware of the devastation of wildfires since that has become the norm here...and yet there are world leaders and politicians that think climate change/global warming is not real. Thank you for such a beautiful video 💖

[@matildaonvideo]

Thank you Tatevik. I know Californians know this terrible feeling all too well, and our fire seasons are growing in length and severity each year. We must all do our bit to create change 👏 x

[@ZosiaDabrowski]

I really appreciate you using your platform for fundraising and raising awareness of the smaller pockets of the country needing help! One thing I am most worried about is the mental health effects of these disasters. I know that when people have lost assets and businesses, they're going to prioritise spending on immediate material things. But so many people are going to need psychological help and they won't even consider it because they'll think it's not an essential. Living through these traumas is going to cause a lot of depression and PTSD and strains on relationships and families, and I'm also afraid for the people who were already depressed or suicidal and this may be a trigger for them... I want to donate and go holidaying in Australia and buying things from rural businesses, but I'm jobless right now and needing to save for a UK holiday our family's already booked. Thank you Matilda for showing your passion for our country and encouraging people to support our local communities! x

[@matildaonvideo]

Thank you so much Zosia! I couldn't agree more - in the very early days of the disaster, I was so aware of the lasting effects this crisis will have on Australians' mental health. I personally really struggled in January with the constant news coverage and some horrific images I'll never forget, so the grief must be truly unbearable for people who lost their homes, family members, friends, pets or livelihoods. Then there are the firefighters and volunteers who witnessed the horrors firsthand. They're all going to need so much help, so we have a very long road ahead 💔🇦🇺 x

Even tho my daughters are young adults I continue to remind them to wear it! (One still lives at home while in college, so she hears it the most 😉) I was the last generation to go without. Google says it was introduced in 1938?? But I’m not that old! I’m thinking it became really “popular” & easy to find in the late ‘80’s. The formulas are so much better now!! No excuse not to wear it!

Hi! I tried Go-to skincare on your recommendation and I feel like it’s best thing that’s ever happened to my skin so thank you very much! Truly such a great brand, whose products are so simple and effective (and beautifully packaged). Love all your videos too!

[@matildaonvideo]

Thank you so much Disha! Wow, what a rave review for Go-To! 😄👏 So glad to hear you're enjoying their products. Can't imagine my routine without them! x

[@ginamarie5575]

Love finding Aussie products in the states at Marshalls on the cheap !! 💕

[@matildaonvideo]

What a good find Gina! 😄👏 x

[@ginamarie5575]

Matilda thank you ! Yes I love these finds ! Way better for you then USA made or China made 😩 Europe made is great too ! Italy and German !!

[@Sansan-om5tq]

Didn't know you from SA! Support from ADL here ❤️ Lived on KI on and off for a few months, it's truly a beautiful and calming place with lovely people there. It's great to see people are coming to KI to rebuild and tourism is flourishing. Look forward to your KI video!

[@matildaonvideo]

Thank you! Nice to hear you've seen the beauty of KI firsthand too ☺️🐨 The tourism industry will play a big part in recovery long term, so I look forward to sharing how much we're bouncing back months after the fires! x

Loved the video! I have been following the Australian bush fires in the media and it's very sad to see how we just jump from one big topic to the next - the fires may not be raging anymore but the post-disaster relief has barely started, and there is no coverage at all. We are all focused on the coronavirus now and it's almost like Australia is all good now, the world's media have already forgotten about the issue. I'm glad you are still speaking on this at a time when it doesn't necessarily fall under the viral categories in social media - just adds to your integrity as an 'influencer'. As for the makeup side of things, I am a huge fan of your videos and was recently thinking that it would be amazing to see a video with your favorites from Chanel - I know you recently did a brand review of Nudestix and Kosas, and I really enjoyed the format. I think it would be interesting to see your Chanel picks, as you seem to have a lot of their makeup.

[@matildaonvideo]

Thank you so much! The very long recovery ahead is only just beginning but the topic has certainly fallen out of the spotlight. I don't think I could have filmed this any earlier without crying mid-sentence, but I'm glad that means I can try to keep the discussion going after the immediate interest has passed ☺️🇦🇺 (Ps. Certainly planning more Chanel content this year!) x

[@fatihahraheem6024]

Really want to try the Jurlique rose water, the go to hand cream. Need to pick the Aesop hand cream again!! 🥰👌🏼

[@matildaonvideo]

Glad you like the look of them! 😄🇦🇺 x

[@sabrinas.5072]

The Aesop mini hand sanitizer is like crack, I bought 3 I think and now they have a big bottle which can be used to refill the small ones. It's the only one I tried that doesn't dry up my skin, I love it so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@matildaonvideo]

Glad you're a fan of it too Sabrina! I'm obsessed, I even have that big refill bottle for it 😂 x

[@jgg308]

Love you Matilda! I used to live in NSW, miss it so much! You are blessed to live in Straya. My thoughts with all aussies 💚

[@matildaonvideo]

Thank you Jess! Glad you've experienced it ☺️🇦🇺 x

[@lakotamcglawn5616]

Waiting for the day the FDA gets their mind right so I can get my hands on the Ultra Violette sunscreens here in the states! I still don’t understand why they would block it here, considering all the rigorous testing Aussie spfs go through!

[@matildaonvideo]

Haha we certainly have very different sunscreen regulations La'Kota! Not sure when Ultra Violette will make it to the US because the SPF ratings are so different there, and certain more modern ingredients aren't approved in the US so the brand would have to compromise their formulas (not ideal given they're so nice as they are!) ☀️ x

Lanolips is a game changer! Thank you for another amazing and informative video 😊 will celebrity make up bag make a comeback anytime soon?

[@matildaonvideo]

Thank you Lily! Very soon 😉 x

[@Michelle-hu5dx]

Wow your channel has grown a lot in these past three months. I had my exams coming up so I had to give up my phone. I remember the last time i watched your video you had around 190k subs and now you have around 230k subs. So happy for you Matilda 🥰 you deserve all the success

[@matildaonvideo]

Wow, thank you Michelle! Good for you taking some time off to study ☺️👏 Hope the exams went well x

[@Tamararararah123]

Brilliant video Matilda, loved how you did this! A skincare brand that I use and have fallen in love with over the last 6 months is another great Australian brand, Skin Juice! It’s a little pricey for me but oh my, love it so much and so happy I’m supporting a great Aussie brand 😁🇦🇺

[@matildaonvideo]

Thank you Tamara! Ooh I'll have to keep an eye out for them 👍🇦🇺 x

[@neelimadubey01]

Hey! Amazing video and I love your aesthetic I read and saw the Australian bushfires and I was devastated. Seeing so many animals cry just shook me. I'm still crying while typing this. I just wanted to protect all the animals but sadly couldn't do anything. I feel so angry at myself for not being able to do anything. I'm a teenager, I don't work and my family's financial condition isn't that good. I feel so sorry. I feel guilty for not being able to do anything. And appreciate you doing this. Thank you.

[@matildaonvideo]

Thank you for watching Neelima ☺️🇦🇺 Please don't feel guilty - as I mentioned in the video, we can all be a good influence in our own community, so sharing information and donation links amongst your friends and family can be just as valuable x

I don't think Go To is sold at US Sephora anymore. For a while the oil and a few other products were featured but when I last went, they were sold out in-store and online it didn't show up in searches.

[@matildaonvideo]

Still a few Go-To products left online at Sephora Megan! But I noticed Face Hero has been out of stock for quite a while.. hopefully they're working on a re-stock and not phasing the brand out! 🤞 x

[@SingASongOfHope53]

@@matildaonvideo Hi Matilda! Thanks for responding. That is so strange because when I search for the brand it doesn't appear online and it is also not listed under the brand's tab at sephora.com either. When I watched your video I even used the link in your description box for the Face Hero and got an error landing page saying "0 products results" 0 products carried... I had resolved to purchase the face oil directly from Go-To as I loved a sample I received a month or so ago. Thanks again, love your videos and your whole aesthetic. -Meg
