Influencers at Coachella are MESSY...

I feel like it's been a while since we've talked about any drama with beauty

influencers

and a lot of things have been building up and we have to talk about it, it's a mess so let's get into it, the first thing we have to talk about is . Coachella and all the drama that comes from it. We already talked about a lot of the drama that happened over Coachella weekend, but now we have to talk about some of the Fallout that happened after Urban Decay invited Manny Mua to Coachella and took Laura away. Lee, as his date, were filming get ready with me all weekend and since Manny was invited by Urban Decay, of course he was going to mainly use their products.

Today's makeup Vibe is going to be full coverage, it's giving me a spooky ghost. I'm so excited because we're actually here with Urban Decay so shout out to my Urban Decay girls we love them and honestly what better brand to last all day before you set your face with powder you use setting spray and you take all night. Spray on a light coat, it doesn't have to be a very light coat, like I do, six thumbs, now start with your favorite powder and honey, it won't budge. Manny ended up using the Urban Decay Quick Concealer and then immediately put his face in there.

There was nothing wrong with this video, he revealed that he was invited by the brand verbally and in the title and everything was fine, until later that night a video began circulating of Manny at Coachella telling an Hourglass representative. that he was wearing that faded hourglass concealer oh my god I love your makeup it's so sunny do you think what you're wearing? I'm using The Hourglass banished concealer, oh my god, it looks so good, thank you, so good, I love it, you're giving it luxury. I'm trying, I'm trying, you're really like and immediately people were like, didn't you say you were there with Urban Decay and we were using Urban Decay concealer?

I'm really excited because we're actually here with Urban. Decay, so shout out to my Urban Decay girls, we love them and honestly what better brand to last all day. At this point, things weren't looking good and Manny and the Hourglass girl started getting a lot of negative reactions, people were even comparing them. To the whole Lash Gate situation with Michaela, okay, I'm going to add a second look at the length. Do you see that I am speechless? It seemed like some people felt that Manny was lying to the girl from The Hourglass or that he was lying to him in Urban Decay.

In the video, one person commented on Manny's video and said, but why did you say in that other girl's video that it was that sand curve concealer? and many responded and said haha ​​that was a bit, she literally runs on curves. Well, I guess the reaction started to be a little bit. a little intense because Manny really hit it off and talked about what happened at Coachella and why he said he was wearing an hourglass. Manny explained that he was actually wearing three different concealers that day, but obviously in preparation for him with me he wasn't going to show them. all because Urban Decay was taking him to Coachella and he wanted to respect them, this is what I have, okay, so I'm literally using my goodie bag right here, which is right next to me, I'll show you.

Guys, the concealers I used on Friday, okay, this is just going to be a side note, so I'm going to pull it out of my bag. I'm almost done here, these are the three concealers I used on Friday, however I was creating content for Urban Decay so the only one I used and showed when I was filming my content was Urban Decay because obviously I'm going to like to honor the agreement branded, duh, hourglass. Nars disappeared, no, stop, stop, stop, and this to brighten up my good old quickie, naked quickie. Manny and Laura went into even deeper detail about what happened on their full coverage podcast, explaining that they were both at Coachella having fun.

They're not fully aware and this curvy girl put them on the spot to make a video for her, and we were hanging out and then this girl comes up to us and says, "Oh my god, hello, you know, I've been following you." guys, we're like, oh my god, hi, yeah, yeah, great to see you and she's like, "I work for hourglass, actually, can we film a ticking?" and Manny and I always wonder what you're wearing because this is it. It's what we've been through, guys, and I don't love filming content for other people because I don't know what they're going to do with it.

I don't know what title they will give it. I don't know. I don't know what kind of page it's going to continue on because I don't know them, so it's like you're filming. Content me, what are you going to say and do with that? I'm always tired. I couldn't agree more and I think when you're at a festival I almost find it a little inappropriate to ask people to make content for you if you don't know me first. I just said Hi to Manny, first she got me first, then she shows up and says. Like hey, I have to work with an hourglass and I was like oh cool, I love that, I'm actually wearing a curvy concealer right now and she's like, oh cool, can we make a video and record a ticking?

I'm sure. and he was very reluctant, sure, like he didn't really want to, but he was sure that she knows what you're going to do, so she planned it, obviously, she creates content for them, he said, I'm going to ask you. I like what you're wearing and you're going to say Argos Concealer. I'm fine, of course, of course, I wasn't in my right mind, it's Saturday. Gone with the wind, really, um, so I thought, okay, sure. So we did what we did, that video goes up that same day. I had done my Urban Decay, prepare with me, and I use the Urban Decay quick concealer, yes, but I use that too.

I had like three concealers on. I was using that one to highlight so at that point I forgot to say Oh I'm also using Nars and I'm using Urban well I mean like post arena everyone says I thought you were using Urban Decay and I'm It's like I'm trying to also respect the brand association when I'm doing my deal with Urban Decay, showing that I'm using Urban Decay because I'm using Urban Decay and I'm actually using it. I like it, but that doesn't mean I'm not using other things, I just don't show them because I respect the brand association.

I can actually see where they're coming from when it comes to this. I feel like the lines of what is acceptable and what is not at Coachella can be very easy to blur, there are so many people who are there just to have a good time and see their friends, but then there is the other side of the issue, There's a reason Coachella has been coined the influencer Olympics, a lot of people are there just to network. and making deals and being seen with this brand and that brand, Tana and Jeff recently talked about how Coachella is a lot like

influencers

going to a work event, there are so many different bubbles and networks of people doing different things at Coachella and we.

They fall into this strange network of people who also like to work as if we were working, they even found Laura and asked her to make a video for them too. Oh my gosh, your makeup looks so good. What are you wearing using Hourglass Ambient Soft Glow Highlighters? by Hourglass oh my god, it looks stunning, so good. I think what Manny should have done was just watch. I'd love to do something with Hourglass in the future, but right now I'm here with Urban Decay. I'm using Urban Decay mixed. here is probably not the best idea. I'm sure many know that's what he should have done and probably wishes he had, but as he said, he felt put on the spot and said he wasn't in the right state of mind. when he asked, the upcoming Coachella drama is actually something pretty shocking but at the same time not shocking at all for a while.

Tana has made it more than clear that she doesn't like James Charles and she has dragged him whenever she can on social media. means like she broke up with him, animoji explained why she and James Charles are no longer friends, who is one person you wish you had never been friends with James Charles, you win something elusive, you know who you still have issues with I guess that my number one person knows this is obviously James Charles. I don't like James Charles. I say sometimes, why don't you like it? Let me take out my scroll a few weeks ago.

Tana went on the plan B podcast and revealed that James actually. He approached her and they talked about things and they actually had a good conversation and he approached me and this is the first time we've talked in years and years and it was actually a very nice conversation that we're obviously never going to have. be the best, yeah, well, Tana took things a step further over Coachella weekend and she actually met up and took a photo with James. They were both at Coachella wearing very similar outfits and a lot of people on Tick Tock were like, "Oh, Tana's not going to like it." This is like people literally thought Tana would be upset because she was at Coachella hanging out with someone she publicly doesn't like, but no.

Tana ended up taking a photo with James, posting it on her Snapchat story, and wrote that we showed up to Coachella drunk on the first day. I had no choice but to choose this option and I don't know, but this seems very strange to me. I feel like Tana always follows whatever popular opinion she takes aside publicly, people praise her for being on the right side and then when things calm down a bit she changes her mind. I just don't understand why you would want to be photographed with someone who you say is not a good person.

Finally, to wrap up, we have an update on James and the new brand of him painted on him as You know that James was called out last week after he revealed the winners of the campaign painted on him. He said he wanted artists of all levels. He wanted moms, grandmas, people with normal jobs, and a lot of people ended up applying thinking they really had a chance. In the end, James ended up choosing 10 people who already had pretty big platforms. Those who entered and had no followers really felt like they had wasted their time. Clearly, this was just another marketing strategy that made ordinary people think they had a chance at achieving their goal. brand name out there and in the end he just chose influencers anyway, well James took all the influencers to La, took them on a tour, took them to boa and gave them the whole influencer experience of 10 artists who won my campaign casting call in they were headed to Los Angeles, so I got up very early and headed to their hotel rooms to sneak with my team from Elegance Event Services at Decca into each of their rooms, we got custom balloons, painted pillows custom and products and of course I stocked them. with Create Paints, the next morning Trevor woke up super early, literally at dawn to take the 10 artists on a walk around the Hollywood sign, they had smoothies and then I stopped at the hotel on a Hollywood tour bus, It's very cheesy, but I thought.

I lived in Los Angeles for six years and have never done one, so if all these people come to visit for the first time, it might also be a fun little time where we pop in and out for lunch and then end the night with dinner at BOA Steakhouse if you guys had never had boa, it's so good, so good, oh my god, the food was so good. I gave a speech to thank everyone for coming and of course we created a lot of content and got a lot of photos. And then at the end of the night, guys, when we left the restaurant, there were paparazzi coming out, which was really fun.

They took photos of all the different artists. They had their little superstar before tomorrow's session. James documented the shoe he shared behind. In the scenes of using the product, he shared photos of the campaign and even revealed that his mother will be part of the campaign. There was also a surprise eleventh artist chosen for the campaign who will be joining me here in Los Angeles and it is my mom. I'm super excited, I love her so much and it's been a couple of months since I last saw her and as much fun as this week is, it's also very stressful and overwhelming so having my mom here really helps me and I'm going to I'll say this again, but this has absolutely nothing to do with any of the influencers James chose.

They all look so good that it seems like they did a great job, but I think the campaign would have been much better if he hadn't done it. He didn't just stick with his original plan and invited people of all levels and had a mix of influential makeup artists and just the normal everyday makeup consumer. I mean, he clearly went after the influencers because he knows that all these influencers are going to vlog. your product will be promoted to millions of people through these influencers from a business point of view it makes sense but don't lie and say you are looking for normal people just to turn around and do this that's why so many people So you're upset guys, let me know what you think about everything below and I'll see you next time.

Thank you foreigner.
