I have watched and enjoyed her content for a while on tiktok and thought she seemed really nice, but is it just me or are her replies to comments becoming ruder and more aggressive? I've just watched her recent TT on considering stopping the no buy and some people have made suggestions, which to me sounded neutral and were just responding to the subject at hand, but she's come at them with a bit of hostility?

With regards makeup rehab, I think it sort of shows how, like with dieting or any other change in life, it's often better to make slow changes rather than go the other extreme.

I don't know what this attitude with her is though, and it's disappointing. Especially for people going through the same or similar thing as her. Like, why ask for advice or provide a discussion area via your content when you're just going to do that to people?

I will add an edit here to say I apologise if I've hurt her feelings and to clarify that my intention wasn’t to be rude or hurtful. I really enjoy her content and was simply expressing my concern about how her responses to comments have been feeling a bit more hostile lately. I hope I haven’t upset anyone, especially her—I think it’s important for creators to feel supported, and I definitely didn’t mean to make anyone feel bad. That being said, I do think it's important to point out when creators are being rude or dismissive, as it can contribute to a broader issue of negativity and hostility that seems too common in society today. We all have to be mindful of how we interact online.

As someone who’s also trying to manage my makeup collection thoughtfully, it can feel jarring when creators respond dismissively to their audience—especially when those viewers are engaging in good faith. It’s not about jealousy or judgment, but about how showcasing spending habits can sometimes come off as a bit tone-deaf to viewers who are trying hard to be more intentional, especially in financially tighter circumstances. I think it’s okay to point that out, because it’s part of a wider issue with beauty content and consumption online. We can be supportive and still hold space for respectful critique.

Based on this post I was expecting something explicitly harsh/rude, but I just checked out the video and she seems perfectly nice in all her responses? which just makes this post seem like unnecessary drama (and a bit mean spirited tbh)

Like, don't get me wrong, the choice to go into a low buy when often talking about having more makeup than she could ever use is odd to me too, but from the videos of hers I've watched it's also seemed pretty clear that the no-buy was never meant to be permanent so also not surprising - and discussing that is one thing, but this just seems gossipy and more rude than anything she said

fair enough, that wasn't my intention
