I DON'T CARE IF MY GLITTER IS BIO-GLITTER 

I feel like people tend to talk about the bio glitter or straws as an easy solution, while the bigger problem is the food industry, and the consumption culture. people have to change their lifestyle in order to make an actual change, and it's harder. Also thanks for pointing out the difference between recycling and reducing!

The salon that I work at is a pretty green salon. We recycle anything we can when possible. We also use reusable things such as hair foams instead of foil, for highlighting/color. They last FOREVER. Sometimes when we get packages, things are packaged in this same foam material, and we reuse that as well. We also reuse most packaging material we get, because we now sell some products online. We use rags for everything instead of single use products as well. Eventually we would like to join GreenCircle, which is a specialized recycling company specifically designed for salons. They recycle color instead of rinsing it down the sink, and even hair! They recycle these things in a way that is helpful, Such as cleaning up oil spills even! I recommend any salon to at least look into it, because they are an amazing company 💕

It would be interesting to incorporate suggestions on how you would reuse or recycle a product when you are reviewing it!

In italy there's the Door-to-door recycling: every night you put a different kind of waste out of your Door and the next morning they pick it up to recycle it; for example, on monday they collect paper, on tuesday glass and so on; even the non recyclable stuff has Its own day when It's collected. All the recyclable stuff must be as clean as possibile otherwise they won't take it or they can make you pay a fare

These are very good conversation points in several issues - The fact that more and more items are made so that you can't repair them and disposable, but not recyclable - that is worrying. Recyclable items should be the pinpoint of creating anything new, not items that will be forever here because they might be something that people still won't use. Like if you die and you have this pile of stuff that can be used again - but will they be? Are people just going to throw them away, because they won't find a use for those items? Everlasting items aren't a good idea either in that sense. And now I'm going off on a tangent - thank you for this video.

A great way to apply the triple R’s to synthetic wig ownership is to learn how to restyle and transform them, also saves lots of money and gives you unique wigs that no one else can buy! It’s soo much fun and a new skill to learn, there’s a ton of tutorials on RU-vid and I’d love to see you do a tutorial on it!

I didn’t know palettes with magnets and mirrors are unable to be recycled...learned a lot here!!

I've been using cruelty free cosmetics and no makeup wipes for 3 years.

You talking about how there's nothing we can do about the factories. Me, an anarchist: lighting up my torches

it’s because of your concerns about topics such as this, that you’re my favorite makeup artist and youtuber

so important, thank u for using your platform so impactfully 🥺💞

I convinced all my family members to start double cleansing or just using cleansers instead of wipes. Really happy that we did so - we reuse the empties and need to buy it much fewer than wipes which we needed one or two packs per person for per month

I will be doing this look in yellow for my troll look

When you said fairy and environment I thought of the movie: Ferngurly (not sure if I spelled it right 😖)

On the topic of mica I've mostly only seen smaller indie brands address it and commit to only ethically sourcing their mica. I find it worrying that large brands and these huge billion dollar companies still haven't said a word about it.

Yup and let's add in clothing. Do people not know that all their clothing comes wrapped in tissue paper and plastic bags. Also, from what I noticed the more expensive the more plastic. Meaning lower end i see comes wrapped in bundles but higher end each price comes wrapped individually.

I loved this video! It’s such an important topic because people love jumping on trendy bandwagons! What I think a lot of people forget is that we are the little fish in the sea. Big corporations are the ones with the biggest impact. I took an environmental science class in college and I was appalled by the impact they had in contrast to the everyday person. While I do try to reduce my waste as much as I can in my daily life, me using glitter isn’t as awful as companies dumping their waste unethically due to shady legislation and outdated (or intentionally unenforced) regulations. I totally agree that little changes are better than none, but people need to email their representatives and push back against legislation and bills that only benefit the companies and harm the environment and the people living in those areas. Everyone needs to use their voices to speak their truth, which is why I adored this video so much. It’s refreshing to see someone use their platform for something meaningful and impactful!

You should totally draw her! With some wings and her flower garden and critter friends! Cuuuttteeee!

We can proactively change how the factories produce waste on an individual level!! Vote for more environmentally conscientious politicians into office, locally and nationally and keep the pressure on them to get the regulations in place that we need to save our planet!! Every vote is important and makes a difference. Always vote to help make your voice heard and to help those who can not speak up for themselves!!

I love that you spoke about this! I'm someone who gets extremely overwhelmed when I can't completely solve a problem, so I find it hard to just do little things, but it really is so important. I'm always looking for new things that I've maybe not thought about that can help. I reckon we should be putting pressure on companies as consumers, letting them know we don't need mirrors in palettes etc. We should also be challenging recycling plants and scientists to come up with more ways to recycle things like silicone. Anyway that was a long ramble just to say thanks for using your platform to open a discussion ❤️

Thank you for this!

I love that you talked about this issue also if you have old toothbrushes you can use those to do texture with makeup

This looks SO beautiful. Amazing as always 💕

The beginning before the blush reminded me of Deet from the dark crystal series

wonderful video, thank you! I'd love more eco content!

This was a very informative and helpful video. Thank you!

New to your channel &I'm stunned that I never had you pop up in my suggested! Absolutely loving your content. This vid is beautifully executed &broached so many subjects that the beauty community needs to get on top of!!! The sheer volume of overbuying &waste is astronomical. I try to be extremely extremely frugal &discerning when making makeup/beauty purchases. Thank you SO MUCH for creating this content! My suggestion for used packaging that can't be recycled is to go on freecycle &list it or look for an artist who uses unrecyclable items to create! They exist! 💜💚💜

you are so well spoken and you brought up a bunch of good points! i will be thinking of this video while shopping in the future :)

Love this video. I'm really passionate about reducing waste specifically and got so many great ideas, thank you!💛

I legit could watch you do your makeup all day long! It is mesmerizing! You are so freakin talented! Thank you for speaking abt this! 💙

Thank you for talking about this.💛🌻

I love that you mentioned products that are ethically produced, yes something can be vegan, cruelty free plastic free, but how much did the person who made this get paid? Were they forced to do this labor? Was it slave free? Was it child free? For this reason I try to look for products, that are B Corp certified as well as Fair Trade. Also I'm wondering if you've used Likely Makeup's Fairy Blush palette, it has similar colors for this look! 💚

Thank you sooo much for talking about this!!!! I made the commitment after Christmas that the only makeup I'm allowed to buy is what I run out of (i.e. no more eyeshadow pallets or brushes). Love your videos and that you talk about important stuff!!! 🖤🖤🖤🖤 Keep it up! 🖤

Love this look!

Transmitis una vibra hermosaa, gracias a vos me anime a subir videos, sos muy increíble

This was a really informational video and I really enjoyed it! On the wig topic, Terracycle has a Hair Zero Waste Box where you can recycle synthetic and human hair clippings such as extensions, wigs, and weaves. You can also always donate to places that restore and give wigs to patients in need.

I think the thing that bothers me so much is that its very strict what you can recycle, compost and throw away, and most people don't know or don't care. What most people don't realize is that if you mess up they don't sort it out for you they just throw it out. So it really matters that you do it right. That you pay attention to what thee rules are. How it needs to be cleaned. Whether or not they allow you to throw away certain things. It matters how you throw away batteries. It matters how you throw away strawberry and fruit containers (a lot of places wont recycle them so they go in the trash. the worst part is that companies are making it harder to follow along. There is this really interesting town in Japan that's taken it upon itself to recycle correctly and they have like 27 (or something) different categories that they recycle into and the entire town has tried to cut down on their use of recyclables. its really inspiring. Anyways, glad to see you're speaking out, hope you are staying safe!

I worked in the medical field...I get it. I used to take unused plastic surgical drapes, cut them into strips, then crochet them into bags. They’d have gone directly to a landfill, otherwise.

Much love!! Your videos make me smile

I LOVE that your bringing awareness to such an important topic! Would love to hear more how sustainability ties in with makeup ❤

Especially in clothing I really try to revamp and my clothes and reuse them as much as possible. Also with make up I am recently strating out with makeup but I really try to think two to three times before buying things.

loved this video very much! such an intresting topic! I would LOVE to hear more about how to be eco-friendly! since I want to start having a more knowledgeable life when it comes to what I eat or purchase so it doesn't harms the earth as much as regular stuff, however I have no idea of where to start, do you have any website or channel recommendations?

YESSSSS! I'm so excited that you made this, thank you so much!

Beautiful ❤️ that green wig is 👌👌👌

Had a dream last night you were recreating an actual priestess/witch (you mentioned this was a Greek priestess) look and you were wearing a long flowing, diaphanous skirt with a hardened clay breastplate that you called a "mundis" that was part of the actual dress these women wore in their daily lives. It was at the end of my dream and I was so happy to watch you live, going into details about these priestesses and the colors and meanings of everything. You had short black hair (like your gray wig) and dark wine red lipstick on, it was simple yet beautiful. I've had some seriously VIVID dreams lately and this was no exception! 🖤

🖤🖤🖤 PLEASE draw her (maybe Tealberry, Berteroniana - check out the colors of the puya berteroniana though you are a darker teal)! And that green highlighter is to DIE for!! This is a wonderful video, you have a great perspective with what you do for work. I love how you are bringing up these important topics, the world is changing in many ways and our daily routines with it so this is a great time to start changing small things that will hopefully lead into bigger and more planet healthy changes! As an artist/creative type, I love the art design in packaging BUT most of the time, the packaging can't be used for other things (though I try my friggin' best to do so) or recycled and it hurts my heart. When I see all the PR beauty people get, it's overwhelming thinking of the waste and some beauty RU-vidrs have even stopped getting PR on purpose for that reason. That's powerful to me. And I love your message of using what you already have, hitting that pan ladies! I can't afford much of the products I see being reviewed and so what I do buy, I squeeze out as much as humanly possible to save my wallet while helping curb my purchasing. I don't like wasting product, I don't like wasting money, and I watch a ton of review videos to make sure the product I'm thinking about suits me and if I actually need it. I appreciate your reviews very much in that regard, too. You are genuinely trying to help us, the normal everyday consumer, make sure the product is something we can use and how to use it. There are quite a few products that I actually ended up not buying because even though they are good, I had similar products already and could do the looks without buying the newest, latest thing. I would appreciate some cheap dupes vids or vids for basics we may have already that can do such and such looks/techniques where we don't need to buy anything or buy very little. I am always blown away by your imagination, your talent, and your ideas, Pompberry... this look and idea is no exception, love ya!! 🖤🖤🖤

Great points! I love Terracycle programs for plastic beauty packaging where I can't chose a glass or metal option. And for other things that aren't widely recyclable. Also, ecobricking 💚

This is a great video idea! Its definitely a subject that gets ignored a lot still.

Yesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyes! I love this so much! Iconic 👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️

Let's go Pompberry! Let's change the game. Great to start the conversation, let's keep it going. We can absolutely make a difference. While there are so many things we as individual consumers can and must do, there is so much manufacturers can do - in cost effective ways -- for greater impact. I would love for you to invite someone onto your channel who is similarly passionate about sustainability who works on the production side of the beauty industry. Or maybe a fellow youtuber with a small brand can speak on the challenges and choices that get made in the manufacturing and packaging process. Keep speaking out on this. It's important.

Why lie the click bait title did get me lol!! But thank you so much for covering this topic and bringing attention to something super important that not everyone might be aware of! AND YESS THANK YOU FOR TOUCHING ON SILICONE PRODUCTS!!!

Great points! You make the best decisions you can where you can! There just aren't enough totally bio friendly companies for everyone to be able to easily make the switch from high waste companies.

This look reminds me more of a wood nymph💚

Can you talk about how to start getting into tattooing? I've always wanted to but never know how to start.

Where I live you dont have to clean things before recycling, only empty them! Anyway, very interesting video and important topic! I agree with you on pretty much everything, and also think about the environment a lot. One thing that does bother me a little bit is that the focus in these discussions often seems to be unproportionally about just the waste part. While of course that is important, from what I have read there are actually many other environmental issues that are more urgent. But I guess waste is one of the easier issues to wrap your head around, like you can see your trashcan but you cant see your greenhouse gas emissions. I am also trying to make my own life as sustainable as possible. When I want to buy something, I always consider it. I imagine how the item was produced, how it was shipped, how it will be used by me, and how it will end. Often it makes me turned off from buying when I realise the problems caused by the product are probably greater than any joy it might bring. In general I think this is a bit of a life hack, and it also saves me money and makes me happier to have less clutter!

Captain Planet fairy! 🧚🏻‍♂️🧚🏻‍♂️

Ooof saw this and was like oh no I hope this isn't true and it wasn't thank goodness we're so similar, I try my hardest but as a mobile hairdresser it works against me everyday but I've switched up so much in my own life over the last few years xx

I recently watched a video by Samanths Ravndahl and she mentioned the brand *"Billie"* are now selling 100% plant-based, biodegradable wipes ($9 per pack) so that could be a good option for those that need to use wipes. ♻️ Wands for Wildlife are also getting an influx of supplies, so they're now only accepting used wand donations in February and October now. I feel like a lot more people could also do better if companies also help us all do better... it's really annoying when I already have a product, but the refill is actually more expensive than buying a brand new product with a new pump (companies generate more income just by making more stuff). That's a disincentive for a lot of people, and we're all probably watching our spending more closely these days, as 1 in 10 retail/manufacturing/product workers in the U.S just lost their jobs in the past 3 weeks.

I feel like the pressure needs to be put on the makeup companies to start producing more single shades but I feel like their end game is to make the most money possible. I love ABH but how many palettes can you make with the same neutral tones?! I’m also curious about your thoughts on monthly sample services. I canceled a few of mine bc I just wasn’t using all of the product.

I actually just purchased halo pads instead of using wipes. And yes more talky videos

So my silicone molds are going to be here forever😲😫

I thought the big issue with glitter is that the particles are so small that fish eat them.

I think about this a lot also and i got some eco friendly solutions from you that i will implement! I'm also a makeup artist. We have to talk about this more and more! I feel like a lot of influencer tend to avoid this topics and live in this fake bubble of happiness. Other topic is good for discussion is that sfx makeup nowadays, we forget that old makeup materials like latex, can be perfectly work with, takes more work and practice, but using only silicone its so bad for the environment, as well other areas on cinema. We should lool back on natural ingredients, and hoelw to use them, like using oils and learning to massage your skin, ancient techniques that are totally worth it. Just a though! Keep on doing this lovely makeups and spreading conscious around the world!

You look more like a hella cute plant sim to me instead of a fairy, but quarantine has me playing more sims than usual so that could be why lol My birthday is on earth day so I got so hyped when you mentioned it, but YES this needs to be talked about so much more! Its been frustrating me FOR YEARS whenever I'd buy a product and there being a mirror there. Like yes thank you, but how am I supposed to recycle that?? No joke, I still have an empty powder compact just because it came with a giant mirror and idk what to do with it. I absolutely LOATHE waste and throwing something out that can still be used for something else frustrates me so much. I try to limit how much makeup I buy just because idk what to do with the packaging afterwards. I mostly only buy skincare that comes in glass just because they're easier to reuse. Also slightly because I really like glass jars lol

switch to menstrual cups and safety razors! the blades of safety razors can be buried once they’re dull. also bamboo toothbrushes are a great option over typical plastic ones :)

I just use coconut oil and a rag to remove any makeup

You started off looking like Disgust from Inside Out💚

I find it really sad, that most of the products are designed to throw them away after some time and replace them. My family lives in a house with old furniture and my heart is bleeding every time I'm visiting other students, who have this furniture that is designed to throw away after graduating. I would love to have shops where old furniture is sold by students to other students.

Definitely would suggest better quality of products that last longer, and only buy things that we need instead of constantly consuming, using products in multi-use ways so you make the most of them.

Didn't watch the whole video yet because Im tired af and need to go to bed but I just wanted to get out there that you speak straight outa my soul, I try to reduce waist when it comes to my day to day life and traveling because I know my hobbys produce a lot of extra waist, I live vegetarien but try to throw in a some vegan meals here and there because one vegan meal is better then none but at the end of the day Im just really overwelmed by all the enviromental problems or society is creating at the time and cant cope with dealing with every single one of those on a daily basis and feel guilty about my existence I guess?? Got this got so rambely Just because as little as Im able to structure my more or less responsible impact on the issues, Im not able to structure my thoughts about. I just hope I do everything Im able to do and that it will be enough to make a small change

I thought this was Disgust from Inside Out. This is cute though.

Go me I pretty much do most of the things you mention

This reminds me of the Adam Ruins Everything episode on being green 👍

Did you also know foundation clogs up the sewers?

I looked into the mica industry, it was horrible. I use it for soaps, candles and cosmetics, and I now pay extra and source ethically mined mica. Also, I'm in the UK, and we get several different bins given us to separate our waste. Is there anything like that in the US? Loving the look, I want it all on my face. Can I just, like, copy and paste 😜😆

I've seen drag queens use an old, worn-out wig to add volume to a new wig project. So that's an idea if you want to get into building/styling more wigs.

Gostei muito do vídeo e gostaria muito de ver mais nesse estilo. Quanto mais fomos cobrando das companhias melhores opções vão surgir. Infelizmente as empresas de cosméticos naturais e mais sustentáveis não competem quase nada perto das comuns. E como você disse são tantas questões para se considerar que ambas as partes (consumidor e empresa) ficam perdidos. Acho que as empresas tem que buscar mais dialogo sincero com os consumidores. Gostaria muito de um vídeo seu sobre produtos multifuncionais e dicas nesse aspecto. Estou pensando muito em a partir de agora comprar mais produtos como os da danessa myricks( como ter um kit de maquiagem ótimo, completo com menos desperdício?)

Mica harvesting makes me sick. Refinery 29(?) Has A good video on that sh*t show.

Você perguntou o que mais nós podemos fazer pra ajudar o meio ambiente, eu ia falar dos produtos veganos, mas esperei o vídeo todo e acabou que você falou sobre eles! FERNANDA TU É PERFEITA, ENTENDE ISSO! Enfim, acho que eles são uma parte muito importante do nosso consumo de maquiagem, produtos veganos ou cruelty-free, ou os dois, é uma das formas de ajudar o planeta e os bichinhos! Aqui no Brasil, tem uma nenina que faz uma pesquisa incrível das marcas, o nome dela no instagram é @ariveganbeauty, provavelmente algumas marcas que ela fala vendem aqui e aí também! Uma grande dúvida que eu tenho é como tirar o glitter depois sem ser com fita adesiva (pro glitter não ir parar na água e gerar um problema maior ainda!) help! kkkkdkrjjkd te amo fada sensata!

Okay, terminei de assistir o vídeo e tenho algumas coisas a dizer. Fico muito feliz que tenhas decidido falar sobre o assunto, que tenhas comentado sobre crueldade com animais e com humanos (incluindo trabalho infantil) e mencionado quão grande é o papel das indústrias nisso. A conscientização é importante, porém gostaria de acrescentar que acho que culpabilização individual é uma forma de as grandes empresas desviarem a atenção do que elas fazem, por isso talvez seja interessante você focar mais nesse aspecto se for fazer outro vídeo sobre o assunto. Nossos hábitos de consumo no século XXI não são os mais saudáveis, mas apenas mudar isso não é suficiente, é necessário mudar a forma como as coisas são produzidas. (Eu também poderia sugerir acabarmos com o capitalismo, mas acho que se eu aparecer com essa ideia nos Estados Unidos eles me chutam daí)

While on this topic, don’t beat yourself up if you’re not as sustainable as you want to be! Not all of these options are accessible! Some people are not always able to afford cleansers or able to stand and wash their faces everyday so they need to use face wipes - please don’t bully others about how sustainable they are! Any way you can be sustainable is good enough!

Not gonna lie, I've been swapping out all my plastic brushes whenever possible and using Sable brushes for when I'm painting. I just noticed that plastic brushes shed like crazy and cause me needing to dispose so many of them from wear and tear. Swapped a few of them for real Sable and you know what? Not a single shed hair and they don't fray so much. I know vegans will disagree with me, but I rather use animal products that don't add to the plastic problem than use an inferior product that contributes to the problem.

But why are recycled products so expensive, like clothing?

Christian virtues of temperance and moderation would save the planet

Parei no meio do vídeo para comentar que usar roupa velha como pano de chão é muito Brasil.

💚💙🌎🌏🌍💙💚

I'm not sure about microfibre makeup removers being better for the environment. Aren't microplastics an issue? I thought microfibre was an enviro no-no...

Woohoo. I so wanted to be lectured today

Well, all of the makeup brands that are choosing to go vegan and cruelty free, BUT are still manufacturing their products in China, are most likely to not be cruelty free at all. China has laws that oblige makeup to be tested on animals because those products are intended for human use and consumption. One of my friend is a chemist that works in China for brands like Chanel, Dior and Prada, and her main job is to process raw material destined for makeup use and she can assure me that all raw materials, finished product and such ARE tested on animals. Sooooo what is really cruelty free these days?

You forgot the most important “R” Reduce reuse recycle Rihanna

It is overwhelming because of what you said. THERE'S ALWAYS SOMETHING, there's always a little catch. It's impossible to be 100% vegan, 100% eco-friendly, 100% cruelty-free, animals and human, 100% ethical, etc. The only thing we can do, is do anything within our reach. Just do what we can and try to do better each time without stressing out because of what we can't do.

Around 32:00 she stops talking about it if anyone is here to hear about the makeup and not whatever else. 💕 not that I don’t care about the earth
