[@KathleenLights]

Hi guys !!! I hope you enjoy this video!!! Ps- I hope you don’t take what I said about designer stuff, the wrong way. I think you should show and be proud of what you buy (it’s your damn life lol) but I also think it’s important to show OTHER things too. .. also! I wasn’t talking about Jaclyn in this video lol. She actually does a good job of showing her personal side as well.. talking on stories about her insecurities is good because it helps ppl connect to her and feel like they are not alone. I was specifically talking about those accounts that have no personality behind them. THOSE drive me crazy. Anyway, Lolololol you get me. ILY!!!! Xoxo have a good weekend! Happy Valentine’s Day!

[@nanccyramiirez]

KathleenLights hahahha chill, we got chu 😉

[@addisonhennigan5625]

Do you still have your palette you had with morphe?? That was the first morphe product I ever purchased!!

[@TheMelihdzi]

I highly suggest you to check out kenna's video. It is call "DEVACURL, a biochemist's prospect" She is a biochemist that used to work on a lab that manufactures cosmetic products. I think her explanation about what happened to devacurl makes a lot of sense, and honestly it could happen to any brand :/

[@MerryM94]

You know girl, you are definitely right! Last day I search something about designer just like history (because I love history of fashion brands and how they grow up) online and I saw so many tutorials about huge haul designer bags and stuffs and I was regret actually about my life that I don't have some of these items. And I realized that this is just a bag or coat and because I lived in the country where we don't have designer things at all it doesn't mean that I am not in a good place, because I have so many other things - like my own home and I try to start own business and finished law university. I mean sometimes social media can be really bad, because it shows somethings that not everyone can have. And most of the time regrets you mentally.

[@AlexandraRamos0210]

Omg I had Ms.Viscaino in 1st too!! But I’m one year below you lol

[@chikaemi429]

Kathleen: “la pinta! You know what i mean” Me *not knowing what she means*: “yes queen go off” 😂😂

[@user-ey8si1yq8o]

Brenda Jasso 😂😂😂 YEP

[@1TLA7]

Yeeppp 😭😂😂

[@browneyedoutcast]

that was me in college lmao i had white roomates and i'd say things in Spanish that i'd forget in english and be like, you know!?

[@carolinaurena7338]

Brenda Jasso it means the outfit, the look, appearance, etc.

[@nenek75]

Means literally look or appearance, facade. Funny how she uses it in Spain we don't use "pinta" in a positive sense but i obviously understand.

[@EatWithKatelyn]

I’ve gotten to the point where I’ve unfollowed all influencers who I don’t 100% relate to or who I don’t believe are genuine because I found myself constantly comparing. Self love has to come first for me.

[@janelle009]

I had to drop some as well!! Especially those who deny botox. I am 31 and recently got my "number 11s" and those who are my age or older and pretend its vitamins, skincare or their sponsored crap had to go. Lol

[@AndiHesk]

I find Kathleen and Shannon from Shannxo two of the most relatable and watch pretty much all of their uploads, I do also like Mel Thompson. I hardly ever miss. I am subscribed to others but tend not to watch their uploads anymore.

[@AyeshaMalik]

omg....you pronounced my name right. Out of these reaction videos - you are the only person on this damn platform that has tried to say it correctly. Thank you. It means a lot to me.

[@KathleenLights]

Omg really?!?! I’m sorry about that! I just discovered your channel and I have been watching so many videos on this topic! I’m so shocked about all of this! I hope the community get answers soon! Thank you for speaking out!

[@andrear27]

Thank you both for making us aware...I wondered why I went from a curly girl to a barely wavy girl. Never again!

[@sheilaabraham4350]

There was someone famous in the 90’s named Ayeesha and thats why, I think, people want to pronounce your name wrong. We had a cousin marry into the family named Ayesha and I mispronounced her name at first. If not for her, though, I would probably never know the pronunciation. Hopefully you are able to give people grace. They don’t mean offense.

[@tashw4124]

Kathleen’s makeup skills are honestly under rated, she is able to create such a gorgeous eye look with just a couple shades. Absolutely beautiful.

[@farhana6016]

This is why sometimes I feel like you dont belong to this current youtube generation. You are purest and the most genuine soul who is still relatable. Love always ❤

[@christywoods9180]

Exactly so true,But In Another perspective She is and will Always be whatevery generation needs and craves,a normal,healthy,fun af,safe space!I just LOVE GETTING KAT'S NOTIFICATIONS more than Any other KZbinr Celebrity,Anyone,And Jeffree Star!lol

[@xiomarieglick87]

Agree! It’s why I love her sooo very much!

[@shreyavalunj]

Kathleen!! Please add your little board back somewhere! I loved reading nice quotes/ thoughts you wrote in each video ❤️❤️

[@orfaelia3636]

Shreya Valunj yes!!

[@tbori180]

Yes I miss that as well.

[@mariamay8474]

Yes. Always loved that.

[@angelicaalvarado2454]

Yessss

[@lizgarcia1480]

“No legacy is so rich as honesty.” -William Shakespeare

[@elizabethwilliams7291]

I agree about influencers no longer being relatable when they start flaunting. Well said Kathleen. You are so relatable and thank you for remaining the same even when you face all these social media influence pressures. Love you 💕

[@dmaria8684]

Elizabeth Williams agree. An influencer I like just posted her favorite bag. It was a $2,700 Dior tote. Ummmmmm can’t relate. It’s a tote that says Dior. A canvas grocery bag basically. How in the world is that relatable when people have families to put food on the table, pay bills, pay student loans, rent or mortgage plus healthcare. Wtf are influencers thinking? Keep in mind every vlog this influencer posts is sponsored by delivery groceries, delivery vitamins, hotel stay Four Seasons Vale, delivery smoothies, her online boutique of clothes, delivery eyeglasses, delivery meals, etc. who has the money to pay for $500/month in this shit? It’s a cash grab clearly.

[@SamanthaMarchxo]

Kathleen: It's all about la pinta! Samantha: You're exactly right! Samantha 2 seconds later: Casually googles la pinta

[@brianaschino4903]

Samantha March me too, girl, me too’

[@palomaAlmendra2]

Omg I’m dead HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAA

[@courtneymcgrath1285]

Hahaha Same Samantha, Same. And then 5 minutes later starts dropping la pinta into my my conversations.

[@JennB]

Jenn's google search conclusion: A pint of milk

[@MaryJane-ld2js]

So what is La Pinta?😂

[@HeatherLeigh44]

I love your rant. And btw, 10 or 15 years ago, pencil hips were everything and having the juicy hips was unappealing. Now it’s the opposite. Society is constantly trying to make women contort into a new pretzel, and once you master it, they change it. You’re beautiful. I wouldn’t mind seeing MORE rants like that. 💛

[@destituteanddecadent9106]

Hell, in my country juicy hips are currently not "in", so I'm in the exact opposite situation as Kathleen. But I don't have a single frick to give about these trends or the people that follow them religiously anymore man, it's just wasted time and brainspace. I pity the sheep that pity my hips, honestly.

[@kelseyalderson9733]

I feel like you are one of the most genuine influencers out there. I love how much you care about your viewers, and even if you have a strong opinion you're still not rude or cruel towards others. Thank you for being what's good about the beauty community. You are an absolute gem Kathleen ❤

[@annaflanders1345]

No one: Kathleen: I think about my elementary school teachers sometimes. I hope they're doing well.

[@Sullychick11]

I think about some of mine sometimes 😂

[@Maria-wu6en]

ok but SAME

[@zaza-tn8zr]

Same here! Even the one who said I'd probably be a waitress for the rest of my life! 😂

[@tayyebafaisal296]

I love her for that!

[@lisaortiz913]

i have this one i always think about too😂 she invited me to her wedding and everything

[@ellielecomber461]

"I wonder how my elementary school teachers are doing" 😂😂 the stream of consciousness in this video was a big mood ahahaha

[@janetjung770]

You need to make a t shirt now that says “don’t be all about la pinta!”

[@maddy6360]

Janet Jung yes please 😂😂 id buy it!!

[@amandaaaa97]

Lmaooo love this😂

[@taradactule6052]

Haha yes!

[@vanydakhiev3910]

Is la pinta kinda like... flexing? Lol I wish I understood what it meant 😅

[@ositoosito4566]

I miss when Instagram was just about photos, and the “algorithm” was in the order of when people posted. Now they’re selling me everything, it’s so damn annoying

[@EmilyWeick]

Me: *googles la pinta meaning* google: it’s either a pint of milk or the ship that Christopher columbus sailed to America with. There are no other options

[@BetsyG24]

Its about maintain appearance (the fake ones) like "painting" yourself to impress others. But la pinta is also all of the google choices, a pint of milk and the 2nd ship of Colombus.👍

[@tiffanygafford3067]

🤣🤣🤣

[@lucerocervantes92]

Lol basically it’s a image you put out just to get people to like you or follow you

[@KathleenLights]

I’m literally LOL

[@lilianachavez9568]

Oh girl you had me DYING!! LMAO

[@noemivazquez4237]

“We are now the Kylie jenners of 2013”- was the realest thing I’ve heard! I love this new 2020 Kathleen love you 😘 P.s. I join your pencil hips club lol together we are stronger!

[@lolany13]

Me too , i love her

[@jenniferslambert4642]

Ohh yess.agree

[@Rumena101]

I’m an influencer and I am sooo fed up with all this designer! When it’s overdone it looks cheap and not exclusive anymore! I still get clothes from the market and primark like I don’t careeeeee ♥️

[@jamiestenstrom4158]

GIRL. A Chanel bag is literally my rent for AN ENTIRE YEAR.

[@tbear1202]

I genuinely feel you girl. The body insecurity I already have is only heightened by what I see on Instagram. So now I just follow dogs.

[@asteria5382]

same but with cats and crafting channels and honestly i've never felt better about myself this whole idea of keeping up with the joneses on SM is too tiring for me i'm an adult and exhausted enough, no thank you

[@lucytribble3156]

Yes! I unfollowed so many and don’t get on much anymore because of how “fake” a lot of those people are and how unworthy I am.

[@staceyleeweeaks-hernandez8583]

Floppy ear envy 🐶😍

i only follow plant pages and post about my plants :) my handle is victoriaxbell. i follow backk!!

Hahahaha sameeeeee 😂😂

[@mariacalderon1954]

Kathleen, thank you for being so down to earth, chill, and humble. Thanks for allowing your subscribers to connect with you and feel like your friends and like we matter. feliz día del amor y la amistad. 🌼♥️

[@effiedaniel2692]

I totally agree!

[@taylorreser3768]

Girl! I used to straighten the hell out of my curls. For years. For the last two years I stopped straightening it, and dying it and now my frizzy slightly wavy hair has turned into literal ringlet curls. It can be a long journey....so don’t feel defeated if you don’t see major results in three months. I was amazed when I came across old pictures; and I didn’t even realize it!!!! Also....a defuser is your new bff 🤷‍♀️

[@joanneborbon3219]

"Could you BE any more hypocritical?" Kathleen channelling Chandler Bing. 😂

[@amandalee3235]

"Social media has lead us to believe that there is one type of beautiful and thats the beautiful that everyone tries to achieve"- one of the REALEST statements I've ever heard. 💕

[@nataliemorales979]

“Pencil hips are okay” and that’s why you’re the Queen ❤️❤️💖

[@samm240]

“I just want to go to sleep at night being my best “ That is theeee best thing I’ve heard in a while 💕

[@jamilavelle3628]

it’s so true, i ended up unfollowing sooooo many influencers because every post is designer etc. i love designer and nice things too BUT i rather follow people more relatable. agreedddd! ❤️

[@MissHalloween85]

Kathleen... Your skin looks SO amazing that I had to remind myself in the middle of you doing your eye makeup that you haven't put on your foundation yet... Your skin is GOALS! 🙌🏼 On a more important note, THANK YOU for staying so grounded, down to earth and genuine. Honestly, I feel like I've lost interest watching videos from beauty gurus but you're one of the few that I still watch because of your pure soul. Thank you for just being you. ❤️

[@JessicaPaulsen]

Im feeling this pinky braid 😍 Also: My husband is in banking and I used to be, youd be SHOCKED at how many people are in massive amounts of debt but it looks on the surface like theyre rolling in money. Its definitely an issue exacerbated by social media

[@MiniMeags]

Yep!!

[@DanaGagliotti]

yess! don't feel pressure to follow the cgm exactly - I can't wait to see your curls 😍

[@macaelacrozier7642]

“Pencil hips are okay” Yaasssss I feel that so hard😂😅

[@myonlybeauty]

When people say “i don’t have a perfect body” (which, to be fair, i don’t think she said. but just in general...) I always think YES YOU DO!! Your body is keeping you alive, its working perfectly. It’s allowing you to peruse your dreams and make it through life! ••• Sometimes I’ll catch myself saying things like “wellll MY body isn’t perfect.” I have a variety of mental health issues and due to being a gymnast for years I’ve seriously damaged it... but then I remember it’s STILL perfect because what are the chances of being put here on this earth? Pretty slim. I will never exist again. So while I may not always be happy and able, I will remember I am perfect. And that takes practice to say, but it does help on the hard days.

[@lydia.e_nails]

Sage Springs thank you for this 💕

[@jessicastunden5562]

I love this comment, thank you. ❤️❤️

[@xCheshirx]

When I say my body isn't perfect, I'm talking both ways, physically and internally. My body is horrible both ways 😂😂

[@michellemichael1676]

I was in treatment for an ED and I was asked what do you love about your body? The answer I came to realize is that my body allows me to hug my sweet nephews, to walk outside on a beautiful day, to play with my puppy, to kiss my husband. I think we lose sight of these small but amazing capabilities our body gives us. Thanks for you comment and perspective Sage Springs

[@tammy2]

OMG this is so perfect. You couldn't have said it better. Thank you

[@nataliemckee8096]

I love that you have these conversations with your audience. You’re a great role model to people of all ages, but especially to the younger generation that grew up on social media’s

[@cindynguyen8982]

“pencil hips are okay. it’s all okay.” girl relatable, love you 😭 also I love listening to your rants. it shows us how much like us you are with thoughts and feelings!

[@MissNancyLondon]

I think this is what people mean when they tell Jaclyn Hill that she’s changed. She went from being down to earth to “la Pinta” lol

[@OhItsHeidiii]

kathleen: you know...la pinta! me: - nods -

[@monicaramer8893]

Btw....I agree..... “influencers” should “influence” on ppl in a positive manner.

[@jessicastunden5562]

Monica Ramer I wish more influencers would use their platforms for good but the truth is that many of them are too self-absorbed to care about making a difference in the world. Das why I love Kathleen, she has a huge heart.

[@amyvillalobos3171]

This is why you’ve been my all time fave, you’re so genuine and have always stayed true to yourself. Stay Blessed Kathleen❤️

[@ashleykins92]

Kathleen you are my spirit animal. You are so down to earth and relate to us in so many ways. I honestly feel like I’m sitting with a friend talking about life whilst doing makeup. The chandler bing reference was the cherry on top 👌🏼

[@sydneyvershay6932]

Kathleen: La Pinta.. you know what I mean! Me: Nods slowly with eyes squinted..

[@giselle7351]

Kathleen why do I love your rants?? I’m always saying “YES” and “AGREE” lol plus I add some snaps too lol!! 🙌🏻😂😂

[@lysyloo1]

Ugh I love you and how responsible you are and how much you positively impact everyone you can. Even just being honest about your struggles and feelings. This is why you’re my favorite influencer!

[@hollynaslund9356]

This is the most relatable video I have watched on KZbin in a LONG time. Thank you for sharing your thoughts about social media, I feel the exact same.

[@deexoxo2057]

My rant is.. That half of the stuff “influencers” gets is free! Gifted!! So half of the things I see in posts, is them flaunting free things that us “average” people have to pay for. If they didn’t get free things and actually paid for it I’d trust their “influence” on an item/product. If someone posted I bought this I’d actually feel well done for them, they worked hard for that, they’ve achieved what they wanted to get what they want. What bothers me is when it’s free. I get that influencers promote things and so on, but where’s the line of what they buy for themselves to the free things. I hardly see the relatable hauls and happy purchases (not like how it used to be). I see a lot of look at my massive PR haul. So in my opinion, to be relatable is to stop showing us free things cause us average people can’t just get free things.

[@caramiller7045]

I seriously just love how open you are and how I feel like you're actually having a conversation with me! You are so right about the social media thing; I stopped using Instagram in 2018 because alot of the people i was "following" were making me feel like I wasn't good enough. So I started watching KZbin and came across you and a few others that I literally haven't been able to stop watching and I feel as if KZbin is SO much better because you guys communicate with us and we feel a connection there even if it's not in real life. I feel like I can relate to everything! You and the others that I watch have actually been able to bring me out of the depression I was in, where as Instagram if I were to go on there, it would just make me feel like crap again. So I'm thankful for KZbin and the people like you that are so real and honest and genuine. Thankyou so much for being your amazing real self and being such a bright shining light that a lot of people these days truly need! ♡

[@marthahinojosa5643]

Fellow curly girl here! SO worth it! There is an awesome FB group that has ALL the info you could ever need! I have completely embraced my curls and will never go back! Good luck!

[@LipglossAndLemonade]

Girl, the way you were in this video is what I want from all your videos! I really love just hearing you talk about our societal issues and stuff. It helps me out SO much when you talk the way you talked in this video... When you're just so dang relatable

[@NatalieCovers07]

When she said "look mom I'm wearing my earrings" I FELT THAT😅 #LATINOGANG

[@brendabassett3500]

[@xoMrsWentzxo]

You’re really one a kind Kathleen! Thank goodness for your presence in this community. You’re a breath a fresh air and your kind of influence is greatly needed in this current online space. Thank you for not giving in to the hype of it all.

[@katiebowman238]

You’re such a beautiful person inside and out seriously, you give that saying it’s meaning. Also not to mention funny and charismatic. You’re really the only influencer I’ve been stuck to for so many years. Thank you for always staying true to yourself and not succumbing to the pressures of social media knowing how hard that can be. You’re so relatable, and it’s easy to get caught up in your rants with you. Ilysm. ❤️❤️

[@AshNicHam86]

THIS is exactly why you’re my favorite!! I absolutely love watching you, not only bc it calms my anxiety, everything you recommend works for me, but you’re so relatable & real!! ❤️❤️

[@ercacalcarr]

“Can you BE anymore hypocritical!?” Okay, Kathleen Bing! 😂

[@summer651]

ErcaCalCarr she is literally being a hypocrite telling us to love ourselves when she had plastic surgery and didn’t even bring it up in the video. 😂😂

[@HuffleBee]

@@summer651 With all due respect, I think you missed the whole point of this video. She is all for people doing what they want to feel beautiful, however as an influencer she would never flaunt it, so that younger girls dont feel that its necessary to do the same to be beautiful. That every person has their own definition of beautiful and that thats okay. She doesn't talk about her plastic surgery because that would be flaunting it/ making it seem like other girls have to do the same just because she did.

[@summer651]

Emily I get what you mean but don’t think that would be flaunting it. She doesn’t even show off her breasts in her videos. I don’t think she was being as honest as she could have which is why I’m irritated. I totally get her message and what you said but she could have shared her past struggle with insecurity and how she got surgery. Yet here she is stating for us not to copy others etc when she has herself not loved herself..

[@MissPeachie]

I totally agree with you. I stopped watching a certain KZbinr because her channel went from makeup to just designer bag “reviews” and luxury products. I love that you always stay focused on your platform, reviewing high-end and drugstore makeup for us!

[@brooke8997]

"Liiiittle smudge.. & das it👁" Gotta love her 😂😂💞

[@briannefowler]

Those influencers are living their “perfect life” but I guarantee it’s not perfect. I’m probably happier than them because I feel no pressure to make my photos look perfect all the time.

[@SadaSohma]

Hearing one of my favs (you, duh) is going to do girly girl is so inspiring! I know more people are embracing their natural hair, but seeing you really go for it makes me want to love my curls more

[@AliW]

I totally agree girl

[@angelicagarcia8191]

Thank you for speaking about this topic, I’ve been recently struggling with the same thing and I had to delete social media because i was comparing myself to everyone and my thought became toxic. You’re one of the few people who speak out about this a say it’s ok not to change and conform because of social media. Thank you this was perfect timing! Keep doing you Kathleen you’re a great role model I love you 💕 Happy Valentines Day! 🥰

[@heartslove1942]

Angelica Garcia i got off Instagram and I limit even who I watch on YT. I feel so much better about myself. I even backed off a lot of beauty influencers because they use filters, but I just watched madeyelewk’s awesome video on “KZbinrs use Filters”. It’s 3 years old, but I respect rawbeautykristi, bc she doesn’t use them. My skin is red, textured and with pores. And my body doesn’t look like most 20 year old IG Stars. So I avoid it and try to focus on me and my goals. But it’s hard....sorrry for MY rant lol. I agree with you love.

[@ss5187]

00:50 this is me, the THOUGHT of going out on a friday night, especially with it being valentines day is a BIG NO for me. I don't even like going to dinner on fridays because that's the busiest day of the week, catch me getting sushi on a weekday at noon lol. And all my friends find that so weird and I'm like it's just not my thing, I prefer places not to be crowded.

[@MrsMansir]

This is exactly why you have so many followers! You're so relatable and down to earth and we absolutely love that!! You're so real and I love you!!

[@chelseagoodrich6761]

SOMEONE GET THIS GIRL AN AWARD!👏🏼👏🏼 Kathleen you are one of only a few youtubers that’s still relatable to the masses. The majority of viewers aren’t going to be able to afford the boujee lifestyle that so many others portray. Nice to have someone who acts on our level still, lets be real we all use youtube in a way to find others who we share something with. *makeup lovers unite* 🙏🏼 You the realist, and we all love ya for it.

[@jenicakiara]

You’re literally the best... makes me feel so much better when you talk about how u feel just like the rest of us

[@shellsssinner]

High school teacher here. I see the effects of social media on our kids everyday. While I think there are some benefits, I can't even get on Instagram without feeling bad about myself at times and I'm a grown woman! I see posts where people just do things and buy things just to post it and make everything look perfect. Thank you for your insight. My take away was that I need to be encouraging my students to connect with the "real" side of social media and to recognize the fake and how damaging that can be to ourselves.

[@jenniferlynchmakeupartist]

This is why I love you! I have stopped following those who only show their luxury items. It started making me feel like I wasn’t working hard enough and why couldn’t I get those items and I am 32! I can’t imagine being a teenager in this day!

[@dgeminiangel]

Kathleen I’m glad you are trying to bring your curls back and switching out your products. As a curly girl myself when I had to transition it was overwhelming but I’m going to tell you a few things that helped me a lot. 1. No heat/hair dye- heat is very damaging and drying, and dye is full of chemicals that mess with the integrity of your hair. 2. Cutting your hair- letting all the damaged hair go makes a huge difference in welcoming new healthy growth. 3. Hair masks- curls need moisture. 4. Air drying- if you have the time, if not you can diffuse your hair on low heat if it’s necessary. 5. Use a microfiber towel to dry hair. I hope these tips are helpful to you on your journey. Looking forward to the update. Much love ❤️

[@paolalujan2221]

Yaaasss I can’t wait to see your hair. From one curly to another this makes me happy to see someone with curly hair be represented! Especially from my fave beauty tuber❤️

[@MayteGilcrest]

I love this video so much. I swear this is something I think about on a daily whenever I tend to spend too much time on IG. It’s nice to see things like that from influencers sometimes because you think to yourself like dang, they started from the bottom and look at them now so you think you can do that and you have hope, but then you see they kind of seem to forget where they came from and ONLY show the luxurious items they have on the daily and then when you don’t see yourself getting to that point as fast as them it really makes you think otherwise. It’s like a love and hate thing.

I can’t even follow those kinds of pages! It gets under my skin the lifestyle those people are pushing on people🙄 PS love you Kath!❤️

[@indiabatson26]

YESSSS! Try to embrace your curls for a couple months 😻 love your channel babe 💕

[@tesspalmer992]

Kathleen, it warms my heart as an elementary school teacher to hear that you still think of yours. When I got into teaching I looked up my elementary school teachers online and/ their mailing address and wrote them letters thanking them for inspiring me and I encourage you to do the same. It would mean the world to them.

[@biancajasminechavez]

Lol yess! I loved this video and it made me feel better about my pencil hips!!! Lately, I had been feeling so insecure about how my body looks and so sad with myself for not having a smaller waist or wider hips. But thank you Kathleen, I feel better about my pencil hips lol. No but seriously, I needed to hear this message at this point of my life. Thank you

[@alexis_evans1]

Thank you for being so real and relatable.. I've come to stop watching certain people/following certain influencers because I just end up feeling bad about myself.. don't even get me started on PR unboxings 😬 I'm glad I'm not alone..

[@staciekhalil2210]

I was about to look up some Valentine’s Day makeup tutorials then bam you posted this😂

[@lwilhelm2000]

GIRLLL👏👏👏 This is why you are the absolute freaking best! Super down to earth, real & vulnerable! Not hypocritical at all - esp when you're humble enough to realize inconsistency and call yourself out ♒✌️💗

[@ryeb6245]

For someone who’s been following and loving you since like your third video, I can say you have never been unrelateable (to me at least). Even times when I don’t agree with what you say, I can always see where you’re coming from and how genuine you are. You really are just like a friend. I love you for your honesty and how you put yourself out there in such a way that I feel like it’s okay for me to put my feelings out there too. Keep doing you girl, because we love it ❤️❤️❤️

[@thrif-teaannie7128]

I swear I freaking Love that your speaking out about this, social media does have a big effect on people.

[@sarahmata124]

I love how open you are. I totally agree with you. It feels like we are having a conversation ☺️ and you are one of my favorite youtubers, so relatable and real ❣ love you Kathleen 💖

[@Cindy-el8dm]

Kathleen, what you are is HUMBLE. All these other people lack that. Love you! xoxo

[@lovelymaria2797]

Favorite KZbinr! I’m glad you stayed true to yourself ❤️ you didn’t get sucked up in this “social media madness”. You give me hope!

[@marissabear14]

I love you, Kathleen! This is why you're my favorite beauty youtuber and one of the only beauty youtubers I watch. You promote beauty positivity. Beauty truly radiates from within and you are a shining example of that. It amazes me how hard you are on yourself because to me, you are one of the most beautiful people here on KZbin! I always tell people my definition of beauty is when someone is a genuinely nice and kindhearted person. When I am doing good for others and being that kind of person, that is when I feel the most beautiful.

[@mariasibbio8844]

As an elementary school teacher, your comment made my heart melt ❤️

"Is just for the gram, is just pa' la pinta... it's all about la pinta" - KathleenLights 2020 6:52

[@samantharose8744]

This is one of my favorite looks you've done! It's so subtle & natural looking. It's glamorous but not in your face. Truly a work of art that demonstrates a perfect balance! I 🧡 it!! I'll take a shot at recreating this for sure bc I bet it'd look stunning on everyone!!!

[@YECIEBOO]

I swear every time Kathleen makes video like this I’m like: YESS MAMITA YOU LET THEM KNOW! because everything she says it’s just on point. It’s pure honesty

[@TheBeautyBitchin]

Dude I miss what’s in my bag videos they are so old school and reminds me of what KZbin used to be you should throw it back and do a what’s in my bag video for me and my nostalgia! 😂

[@heartslove1942]

MadelineWilkerson I’ve seen a few new ones, and some are good. But some are just to show off designer bags. But I love “packing” videos if you haven’t seen them 😂

[@britneykamalani3942]

Thank you for touching on the subject of social media peer pressure! This is why I adore you because you’re a positive influence on me and so many people! Also I love that every time I wear earrings I think of your mom LOL

[@maggieramirez1247]

It drives me crazy when they wear cute Jeans and the link the jeans and they are like $200 and I am really really!!!??? You know how many pairs of Jeans i can buy with $200

[@jadehere9816]

Maggie Ramirez this literally happened to me the other day with a woman from a family channel who used to be so relatable. She said, “guys, I’ll link my jeans because I know you’ll all ask about them and they’re under a hundred dollars” THEY WERE 98 DOLLARS. Things aren’t the way they used to be on KZbin.

My boyfriend and I were talking about something similar to this except I said something in the moment and it made so much sense. "Everyone's internet is different" meaning he was complaining about something he saw online and I said oh I had no idea.. because I choose not to follow that stuff. I think its important to unfollow. About a year ago I unfollowed every account that made me envious, jealous or made me feel something negative inside. I know its different in your position having your life online but I recommend to anyone who has a love hate relationship with the internet. I now only follow people who radiate the same energy as me and whenever I scroll now, I feel good inside. 🥰

[@alisonmeyer9544]

Exactly! Once you unfollow what doesn't bring you joy or inspire you, it becomes positive and fun.

[@tuliptoquit5432]

Who else thinks of OG youtube Kathleen when she’s in a fiery lip 🔥🔥🔥

[@GL30]

This is why I stay true to this channel and what kathleen is all about. The first KZbinr I have ever subscribed to, and watched every single video because of how relatable and relax she is. I freaking love you man, you always bring me back to reality and what really matters. ❤️❤️❤️

[@novisco9863]

Kathleen, You are amazing!! You are sooo right about that all. And it is so incredibly outstanding that ANYONE talks about that! Thank you for being such a good and right person❤️

[@taylorweaver8175]

PREACH!!!! Its honestly so nice hearing this from an "influencer"/ KZbinr. So much respect.

[@shannonsuggs1152]

"Just a leeeeetle smudge....AND THAT'S IT!" 😂😂😂 I freaking love you, Kathleen.

[@brookefischer5147]

What’s considered beautiful is completely contingent on what’s on trend at the moment, which is really sad. I love you Kathleen!!! You are such a positive, breath of fresh air for someone that can be labeled as an influencer. You are so much more than that. You are inspirational. ✨ 💕

[@lucindacarrasco6107]

I'm a 2nd grade teacher, hope my students dont forget me lol. Great look!❤ for Valentines Day!
