(EDITED: SHE KNOWS) I was rewatching one of Smokey Glow's Yass or Pass videos (the March 29th one) and she absolutley RAVES about Give Me Glow! She shows off her $75 (highlighter?) palette from them, says that she stans them, and is super hyped about that new pastel palette they're putting out.
Uh, WHAT? She's so socially aware that I'd definitely think she'd know about the absolute BS that company has pulled on Black creators!! I looked into it and she's done several talktorials RAVING about the formula, too. In the comments of the Yass or Pass, one of the girls who shared her story about the company told her that the company sucked- and that comment is the most liked comment. Smokey Glow usually engages with comments- she responds and likes a lot of them (and this video is no exception)- so I find it VERY hard to believe that she just didn't see that comment.
I'm getting a bit sick of her right now- first it was her being weird with Angelika Oles (which I just brushed off) and her really performative activism (black-owned brand hauls & complementing black owned brand's new releases without seeming to buy the products she's excited about when she does for white brands, the ColourPop PR thing, etc) so now I'm just SO tired of it!!!
(also more of a petty thing, I have autism & super sensitive hearing so those mid-sentence audio jumpcuts she does to make it sound like she's talking faster drive me INSANE!!! does anyone else hear those??)
EDIT: To everyone in the comments saying that Smokey Glow probably didn't know (because you guys didn't know), she knows.
Top comment on her Yass or Pass, with the second most liked comment that she interacted with. She likes & responds to several other comments with less likes.
Even more directly- she asked what happened with Give Me Glow on twitter and got several responses. This was in October 2020.
Also, yes, there are much, much, much worse beauty creators, of course, it just really sucks for one of the "good" ones to be being a bit shady (in my opinion)
not sure i totally agree with the main point here (seems like it could easily be an honest mistake. we cant know everything)
but omg the last paragraph..YES. i have a super hard time watching her videos because of that. and the constant nose-exhale laugh thing she does after nearly every sentence... something about it feels like nails on a chalkboard to my ears. the jump cuts are really hard to sit through. i've felt really petty for letting those little things bother me so i'm really glad someone else noticed the jump cut thing too lmao
