Kylie's In Trouble With Maybelline, Colour Changing Eye Drops And Bankrupt Brands - UGLY NEWS

I taught my kid to be respectful of other people and their choices, to question authority, to be polite and to think critically. Yup...he turned out just fine.

[@jeandiatasmith4512]

The problem is that now your son would be encouraged by everyone to come out as trans, and encouraged to transition to a girl. The ad isn't some innocent little boy playing dress-up. He's been given those clothes to wear for a photo shoot - to push the trans ideology. ADULTS told him to wear those clothes. ADULTS staged that set, picked the outfit, and took the photos. No child is transgender. They're children and have no sexual identity. Puberty blockers, hormones and removing of body parts is ABUSE with lifelong ramifications. It is NOT for children. And this entire transgender ideology we're seeing needs to be fought against as hard as we fight against all other child abuse! I don't know anything about the million moms group - but I agree in boycotting Aveeno and any other company that pushes this transgender abuse on our children. Let children be children and let them grow up naturally to become who they are to become. And love them every step of the way.

Let kids be kids, dress them in clothing they feel comfortable in that they can play without flashing anyone, don’t worry about the “statement” it is making, and stop trying to make money off of them. If everyone focused on these simple tenets, kids would be a lot less scarred.

[@MossTunic]

your kids are going to grow up to be so much healthier in their idea of who they are & that they can rely on you for safety & support. knowing they have that support makes independence so much easier. this makes me so happy to read, thank you for sharing. i wish more parents were like you.

[@Magdalenasfears]

My little brother used to dress up in dresses all the time because he'd see me in my ballet outfits and he thought it was fun. He had "strong male" influences, dad was a cop, uncle's were truckers and mechanics, grandpa's were military and steel mill workers. My brother just liked to spin around in long skirts lol.

Some prescription eye drops can change your eye color, but as an unintended side effect usually from a lighter color to a darker color over a long period of time!

[@jeniajadda]

my first thought was that eyelash serum Latisse.

[@SairWithTheHair]

Yeah that was a big deal when they realised this was a side effect. And it certainly was not used as a selling point! I physically cringe at the thought of doing *anything* that could harm my eyes. I nearly lost one before due to an insane infection; I'm not going through that again.

Glaucoma drops that contain Prostaglandin can make your eyes brown

[@angelinimartini]

@@jeniajaddaI thought the same thing. I was using Latisse for my eyebrow, and they told me that if I wanted to use it for my lashes, that could be a side effect. And I was like “Nuh uh”. Although, I did end up using the leftovers from my eyebrow application on my lash area… no issues.

Is anybody going to point out that historically, the people who did the most research about changing eye color from dark to light were, umm… from Germany… During WWII… so like that’s a cool idea… but the research that was done *at that time* was cruel beyond measure and human imagination. So it’s sort of tainted the idea of changing eye color for me. The idea of permanently changing eye color, for me, has been permanently tainted with that legacy. I understand that some other research from that time is still actually used (how to treat hypothermia for example) but changing eye color, at that time, was inherently about race. I really don’t know if permanently changing eye color from darker to lighter could ever be removed from that history.

[@jamie1602]

THIIIIIIIIIS. THIS HERE.

[@lesleyfield1954]

That was my thought immediately.

[@beardiemom]

I'd say the Aveno add is definitely sending a message for free expression in childhood, if you want to read anything into it.

[@InvisibleRen]

Gosh it makes me so sad that people see more harm in free expression than they do stopping it. Like, do they really think that’s better for the child who will hopefully grow into an adult and high functioning human? No, it’s just better for their own personal comfort as adults who should know better.

I remember when I worked as a beauty consultant at Walgreens and Lumify drops (for redness) came out. We beauty consultants were expected to hawk Lumify drops as an add-on to eye makeup purchases, and even given bottles in gratis and free eyedrop samples to hand out at our counter. It creeped me out so bad, and that was actually an FDA-approved medication. These "Fancy Drops" are the dodgiest thing I've ever seen! Even if it did work [citation needed] - you don't need to be introducing cosmetic products to your literal eyeballs!

I was also a Walgreens beauty consultant and I refused to push the products unless I bought it and tested it first. I always pushed the things I thought would help them with their problems I mean that’s what we were THERE for. It’s no wonder most stores don’t have beauty consultants anymore. Why would anyone trust us when they’re wanting us to push crap and most of them submit after getting called to the office a lot of times about “not pushing the products we want you to” 🙄

[@youraftermyrobotbee]

@@OfficialLadyDarkSky It's my understanding that it's a more dilute concentration of a med that's normally prescribed for glaucoma. It is safe to use the intended dose - but it's not actually treating the underlying causes of eye redness, just superficially correcting it. It also constricts the pupils (I saw some LASIK patients recommending it for post-LASIK nighttime glare for this reason). As you described it will cause withdrawals of the drug - specifically "rebound redness." I did a bit of my own research on this stuff because I trusted the promo material we were given as far as I could throw it. It's not as if it's without valid use - I'm just extremely leery of treating a medication as cosmetic.

[@raerohan4241]

The first time I heard about those Lumify drops was from an ytber who was showing off her makeup routine - not at all the content she usually made, btw. She usually makes ADHD vids and the like. But she did her makeup for that video, and it was a fairly light/simple one, nothing noteworthy asides from the Lumify (and the weird as heck holier than thou vibes she was giving off - completely took me off guard because I had never seen her act like that!). And the comments were all praising her for how natural her routine was, and I was like - is this some kind of inside joke? Even if we assumed that natural was inherently better, how is any of this natural at all??? Particularly those shady eye drops. I was baffled. It was such a strange video and the vibes were so weird that I asked yt not to recommend her channel anymore... Idk, maybe I was harsh, but listening to my instincts has always served me well, so 🤷‍♀️

I need to say with my background in early childhood education/childrens services - when I had the children I taught/cared for, whenever there was a dress up rack and free play time. All the young boys (ages 3 to 5yo), would *always* fight over the tutu's and wedding dresses, or concoct their own outfit like a hard hat with a dress and toolbelt, etc. And they would want to wear them *all* day. Which of course jone of us had an issues with and of course it had no detrimental effect on *any* of the children in our care. However, a *lot* of mothers who would collect said chidlren at the end of the day, would freak out at the fact their son was wearing a tutu or dress or whatever and say "Quick! Take that off before your father sees it/hears about this". You would see the sheer confusion and worry spread across the small childs face as their mother tries ripping off their "costume" - as that's all it was, a "costume". We even had a few fathers come to collect the children and they would very gruffly say things like "Better take that off. You're not a girl" , or "Get that off! No boy of mine wears girl's stuff!". And so on. We did try explaining to parents that this is free time play and an expression of the imagination when playing games of "dress ups" and "let's pretend" with their peers. Some even calling their outfits super hero clothes. That this type of clothing had 0 effect on how they perceived themselves or their sexuality. As at this young age they don't really understand or comprehend all of that. We, as carers/teachers, are allowing them to express themselves and that we would never be pushing an "agenda" but simply allowing a kid to be a kid. Some parents were awesome about it and would just laugh at whst their kids had been up to. Funny thing was though. Not *ONE* parent had an issue if a young girl was in the police or firemans uniform or if they were in the builders hard hat with a tool belt and so forth. That was ok. That was completely fine. 🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️ I just couldn't understand. This was back in 1999 to about 2006 that I witnessed this behaviour from parents.

The rage I feel when these hate groups target totally happy children and situations and conflate ACTUAL child exploitation with simple free expression 🤬 I also just want to say that even if that child IS trans or non-binary rather than a boy, or one day realizes they are, that is still okay!!! Still non-sexual, still totally innocent. There is nothing a child can be, do, or identify as that takes that away. Too often a well-meaning pushback to things like this is, "it's totally innocent, boys/girls do this all the time and they're still boys/girls," when even if they weren't, it's still totally innocent and fine, nothing's changed. Children who are trans, non-binary, fluid, etc., or one day will land on those identities if they haven't already are no more inherently sexual or less innocent than cis children. It's beyond revolting and dangerous that these groups think like this. Sorry for the rant, it's just been a lot here in America these last few years 😅

I have been absolutely bingeing your content recently

When you said the dewy look wasn’t your skin, the way you said it made it sound like you were an alien who’s stole someone’s skin. 😂

LOOOOOL! 😂😂

I have glaucoma, and have to use an eyedrop called Latanaprost; oone of the side effects listed is a change of eye color. Doesn't look very pretty, though. It also causes thicker eyelashes, which is actually rather nice,lol~☺️

[@ghoulishtoad]

Yess I knew this was a thing I just forgot what illness it was for. Very interesting side effect, medicine is so interesting to me in that way how the body reacts to it. That's a nice side effect!! All I got from my medications was anger problems and weight gain lmfao!😂😂

[@lipstickzombie4981]

It's the same stuff used in certain 'lash booster' serums.

The Animated Disney Little mermaid, the hair for the underwater scenes, used a female astronaut for reference.

[@Melanie-sj8mm]

I always feel embarrassed when you say that pictures are so obvious photoshopped and I don't see it, even if I zoom in. 😳

[@lindsay419]

That advert with the boy in the astronaut/tutu is sweet. He’s happy and not thinking about his sexuality/gender or making a political choice it’s a great ad. Don’t watch if you want to make it anything other than innocent, please take up a hobby 😊

[@ghoulishtoad]

I agree! When kids do that they just like what they like it's not that deep. It drives me crazy when people gender kids toys needlessly cause it's pink or something. My little brother loved barbies and those little matchbox cars. Kids are just kids they don't think the way adults do and I feel like sometimes adults forget that, or they think the parent influence their decision when kids are very strong willed! If you've ever been around one most kids get an idea in their head and won't stop til they've done it. Even babies who are like 9 months to a yr and able to play get like that. I constantly have to chase my 11 month old nephew and he giggles when I do it, like he thinks it's a game. 😂

[@lindsay419]

@@ghoulishtoadthat’s amazing and 100 percent right in my opinion. I used to play with gi joes and play hockey with the boys. Not a sexual preference it was just because it was what I liked to do. People need to relax and enjoy life without making imaginary consequences

[@sierrarmcclain]

@ghoulishtoad I had a friend that was a boy and our fave toys of mine were Barbies and cars too. Actually, our very fave toy was a box of scarves that my mom gave me! We’d dress up as pirates and fairies and it was so much fun!

[@glassylanternnn]

Hiiiii I’m so happy you posted! Now i can procrastinate even more 🌟

[@OMGSweetCakes]

i too am procrastinating 😂😂

[@PixxiesPlanet]

100 angry men need to take a moment and figure out why they want to keep making a child sexualised rather than just letting a child enjoy their life!

[@nomegirl907]

I think that online meetings, where you could see what you looked like during meetings, in my opinion, caused people to be more critical about what they looked like, which maybe increased some skin care and make up sales.

[@maryeckel9682]

I agree!

Nooo JVN hair was so nice!! Expensive, but it works so nicely for my youngest kid’s super long hair 😢

Yes, I hope the brand can be saved. It’s been the best thing for my waist length fine hair.

[@TJ-bn2cn]

Personally I thought Maybellines advertisement was fun and lifted you up a bit. As for Asos, I’ve no words! As for the Aveeno advertising, children will dress up in a variety of dress up clothes. Quite often if there main role models are female, then little boys will dress up as who they admire. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with playing dress up! It’s the adults that cause ignorant problems.

[@thebabythesavage]

It is actually true that some glaucoma drops can cause people with light-colored eyes to develop more pigment, therefore changing color- this can also affect the skin on the eyelids, though.

[@persiebun]

Wait until those 1 million moms people find out about male ballerinas and kilts 🤯

[@TheKindredTrucker]

Hello James!! I love these videos and very much appreciate the way you break things down. I live in the U.S. and groups like the "Million Moms" you mentioned are absolutely nuts, but also, indicative of some serious problems. I laugh at them too, but some of our most insidious hate groups use humor as a way to make themselves seem benign when they are anything but. That's a separate point, however ... this particular group seems comprised of those totally lacking the self-awareness to be intentionally humorous. The thing that's wild about this particular group and similar ones who target the LGBTQ community (especially trans kids, their complete obsession) is that they reveal their own perverse thinking with the crazy things they draw from completely innocent content. Like, how does your brain automatically sexualize this innocent child content, ma'am?! They are disturbed and even though they have a huge megaphone with some of our extreme right wing media outlets, they fortunately represent a very small minority.

[@susanjeffries5108]

So well said! The fact that they can see demons where there are none says more about them than anything else. It kind of makes you wonder what's going on with them for them to see an innocent commercial and automatically have their minds go to a really dark place. "Child exploitation at its worst?" My gosh they have no idea how bad it really is for some kids.

[@beckylineham1484]

At a brief moment on my life as a young girl I was really insecure about my eye color, I’ve been threw the ringer with trying too change it and I heard of the drops like 2 years ago and almost did it my mom had too hold me back tho, I have always been insecure of my eye color since I was really young about 10 years old it was because my mother would always make comments about having blonde hair and blue eyes which she had, and I never had because I’m half greek. Too get too the point I don’t mind I have dark brown eyes now and too any younger girl who is going thru this, eye color is nice and all but is doesn’t really matter compared too alot other things

[@arareanddifferenttune3130]

I think brown eyes are absolutely gorgeous, I’m sure yours are beautiful ❤😊 In fact, never in my life have I seen a person who’s eyes weren’t beautiful, they’re all completely unique like little gems 💎

[@raerohan4241]

And if it really matters to you, just use contact lenses. Don't use dangerous things like these, please.

[@erihebi]

I completely get laughing while reading it, honestly I can't get through conservative talking points without either laughing at their audacity or raging at their stupidity. One million moms is beyond absurd.

[@laur83]

same. they’re just a bunch of karens.

[@Kayslays2489]

I laugh so hard so when you laugh. It's contagious. Cuz I also have a "nervous" laugh or "uncomfortable" laugh. Love you

I'm excited that most of the people I know are boycotting anything associated with the Kardaahians and Beyonce! They have lost their "luster" with the masses.

[@ritchieashley8843]

What’s the issue w Beyoncé???

[@kiluanon]

Kardashians and Beyonce shouldn't even be in the same sentence, the public feels totally differently about the two vs. one another.

[@hope3290]

Why exactly did you bring up Beyonce? When was she mentioned in this video? And lost luster? She's literally on a sold out tour right now. What are you even talking about?

Thanks for the low down this month. I can't imagine changing yiur eye color with over the counter drops, scary! Not surprised by ASOS, like you said, They're notorious for copying other companies. Thanks for the engaging content, this was really fun.

[@sammibooger4784]

Budget cosmetics are becoming better than luxury products in terms of quality. Why would someone want to pay more for something that really doesn’t hold up to its less expensive counterpart?

[@TD-bu9wv]

I think it's disturbing how innocent things are being perverted by people who claim it's to save the children.

[@elin_]

This video was really interesting.. we need more of these "what's going on in the world of cosmetics" videos

[@GracielaDixon]

Those 1M Ridiculous moms have nothing better to do apparently... Like where's the outrage over the 8 Passangers thing? Where's the boycott there? Absolutely ridiculous, the whole narrative.

[@Mychelleisonfire]

Oh God. I did it. I went to their website, and followed the path through to their Mother website, The American Family Association, and Jesus fucking Christ these people have lost it. 💀 Their campaigns 😂 And their merch. Please look at their merch. I’m not just offended as a lesbian, I’m offended as a human that these people are just spreading hate as far as it can go. And yes it’s funny because it’s just so…. off the rails? Praise Be. Under His Eye. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈

[@mcomeaux3087]

Makeup is something that, historically, people love to buy when things are hard - it’s going to be even more so when we’re inundated with so much beauty online, like this obsession with looking perfect and following trends that proliferate on TikTok…it just makes it worse

I remember reading that brands like essence have skyrocketed recently because of the increased cost of living. People are spending money on non essentials from the drugstore. Which makes me feel that people have finally understood that drugstore isn't necessarily bad but that sometimes brands upcharge customers for nice packaging.

Right before I clicked on your video I saw an advert for ‘color changing eye drops’. I think they were under another brand name, but I remember thinking WTH that has to be dangerous!
