Selena Gomez is very talented, and is everywhere these days. Recently the superstar launched her Rare Beauty cosmetics line. I’m still waiting for my products to arrive from Sephora, but a lot of people have theirs and are loving them.
As with every product launch, companies send out PR packages to influential bloggers, celebrities, and social media stars. Rare Beauty sent one of their PR packages to Patrick Starr and the response wasn’t what anyone expected.
Starr did a video review of the product and at one point swatched his eyeliner next to Rare Beauty. he said, “I think I prefer mine over Rare. That’s just me.”
The video received over 2000 comments of a lot of backlash. Fans were upset over Starr’s reaction. He did admit he was biased, but that didn’t stop fans from commenting.
And rather than not speak up about his review, the Rare Beauty team responded, but in the kindest of ways.
“We’re so thrilled by all the great feedback on @rarebeauty so far! It’s so uplifting to see how much love and support we’re receiving from the community for our brand mission and our products,” the Rare Beauty team tweeted, adding, “But please remember that everyone has different preferences with makeup, and not everything is going to work for everyone. That’s okay! @patrickstarrr is such a positive voice in this community and an incredible creator and entrepreneur so let’s all show him nothing but love!”
And that’s classy. But Selena is always classy.
Patrick responded with, “Alexa play “Kill Em with Kindness.” Love u @selenagomez congrats on the launch.”
