*Important Note: Some of these brands may or may not be sold in other countries that require animal testing by law in order for the products to be sold, but I don’t have the time to research animal testing laws outside the US as well as what brands sell in those countries. So I’m leaving this one up to you.

Okay, this has been in my drafts for at least 3 months now. Time to roll it out! Keep in mind, these are videos/bloggers that helped me specifically and there may be some videos/links that aren’t as useful to you. That’s okay! I recommend you get lost in the beauty blogger side of youtube at some point, it’s a lot of fun and you never know what you’ll find!

And on a last note of disclaimer: I don’t follow the personal lives/twitter feed/rumors about anyone in these videos. I don’t know if someone is problematic or not, I am simply recommending the video.

wonderful resource for nonbinary/trans people who have a desire to wear makeup, but were never taught because of gross gender roles

Good intentions don’t excuse bad behavior. You will always enjoy yourself less when you have planned for it. Grief has no solution. Let it be. Not forgiving someone destroys you more than it destroys them. Sometimes there are no amount of encouraging words to pull someone out of the sheer exhaustion and melancholy of being alive. People see you the most when you don’t want to be seen at all. Honest laughs must be drawn out until all the air is gone. Like a balloon. Panic attacks exist to make you think your life is wrong. It is nearly impossible to maintain a close friendship when one person is depressed and the other is not. Not really knowing someone is what makes a life look interesting. Like when the movie trailer is better than the movie. If you need them to care more than they do, it won’t happen. Ever. Learning to dance in public without pretense is incredibly liberating, and people will envy you for it. There is a spiritual war raging inside all of us. Deciding to do something different just because you know it’s different does not make you unique. Unique is liking what you like. Unique is shamelessly admitting how much you still love that band even after they’ve sold out. Being alone is powerful. People don’t praise others because they’re afraid there will be no glory left for them. Nostalgia is the art of abandoning details. You’re never fooling anyone nearly as much as you’re fooling yourself. Small talk is THE WORST. No one hates the prettiest person in the room more than the 2nd prettiest person in the room. Regrets are useful, not useless. Dwelling is useless. Humbling yourself is the biggest component of self-improvement. It’s easier to get in your own way than it is for anyone else to. Kindness is the fastest way to earn respect. Depression is a lack of willingness. Opposites attract because they have so much to learn from each other. If you have to test their love, you’re not worthy. Half-hearted encouragement is worse than no encouragement at all. If a woman is constantly being let down by a man, it’s because she doesn’t know how powerful it is to be a woman. Nothing could be more bittersweet than knowing that it’s not going to play out the way you envision it. Helping people is the most rewarding thing on the planet and the least practiced. If you had everything figured out about anything, you wouldn’t be here. The more you don’t wear makeup, the better you look without it. Love is not rare. Unconditional love is. You’re the only one who thinks your family is embarrassing. Getting rid of one vice means replacing it with another. It’s all in your head. Literally.

Realizing the song you introduced me to now applies to my life a terrifying amount.

I think there is a certain age, for women, when you become fearless. It may be a different age for every woman, I don’t know. It’s not that you stop fearing things: I’m still afraid of heights, for example. Or rather, of falling — heights aren’t the problem. But you stop fearing life itself. It’s when you become fearless in that way that you decide to live. Perhaps it’s when you come to the realization that the point of life isn’t to be rich, or secure, or even to be loved — to be any of the things that people usually think is the point. The point of life is to live as deeply as possible, to experience fully. And that can be done in so many ways.

Just for the record, she still loves you. She wouldn’t bother to torture you if she didn’t.

Self-care over everything. Be good for and to yourself.

Never compromise your standards to accommodate anyone. If they can’t live up to your expectations, it’s because they aren’t fit to. Walk away and wait for better.
