This Beauty Blogger’s ‘Slavery’ Comments Backfired In The Way That Will Hurt Her The Most
Sondos al-Qattan, a beauty blogger and social media star from Kuwait, caused international outrage recently after her derogatory comments about Filipino ‘guest workers’ went viral.
Al-Qattan’s short Instagram video, now deleted, expressed her disgust that her ‘servants’ are now legally required to have a day (yes a whole day) off each week, and keep their passports with them at all times.
Kuwait, like some other countries in the Gulf region, employs the controversial ‘Kafala‘ system, which gives local employers wide-ranging powers over migrant workers in the construction and service industries. Kuwait’s booming oil-based economy relies heavily on foreign workers, mostly from places like India, the Philippines and Bangladesh, who make up two-thirds of Kuwait’s population of 4.5 million. 90% of Kuwaiti households employ and ‘sponsor’ foreign domestic workers, and abuses of the system are widespread. As well as routinely having passports and salaries withheld, workers are unable to leave or change jobs without their employers’ consent. Some cases have involved physical and sexual assault, even murder, with the ‘guest worker’ having little legal assistance to rely on. The system is seen by many as a modern form of slavery, and has become the source of diplomatic tension between Kuwait and the Philippines over the way Filipino domestic workers have been treated. The Philippines have now imposed a total ban on new workers seeking employment in Kuwait, pending investigation into several suspicious deaths.
Al-Qattan’s rant has brought a renewed focus on this problematic situation, and people are demanding that high-profile brands that she works with drop her immediately. The star, who has 2.3 million followers on Instagram, offered an apology and explanation for her outburst, urging people not to judge her without knowing her personally. “Don’t judge a person without full understanding of the situation,” she wrote. Just because you don’t agree, doesn’t mean that you’re right!”
NGO Migrante International, which represents Filipino overseas workers and campaigns for their rights, was scathing in their response to the situation. “By projecting herself as a slave-owner, Sondos exhibits intoxication in her overinflated ego and false sense of superiority,” they wrote. “She should have known by now that workers have rights too and they deserve just and humane treatment from their employers. Instead, Sondos continues to cling to a backward outlook which literally belongs to the dark ages.”

By idiots who think exactly like her. They went from camels to Bentleys and no one can stop them now.
Load More Replies...I think that is the worst apology I have ever read. It is not an apology, just trying to justify herself again. One of those people that are so narcissistic they can't see anything wrong with how they are e.g. only seeing the comment about being beautiful on the outside, not really getting it is a criticism. The way migrant workers are treated in those countries is absolutely disgusting. I had to go to Dubai for work for a couple of days and it is safe to say they are NOT treated as equal human beings. Spoke to a taxi driver who had not had a single say off in 15 years...
She calls it a 'clarification' and yet all it does is clarify that she meant was she said in the first place.
Load More Replies...It is a reality happening in Middle-East and also in Singapore, domestic helpers not only from Philippines but from other 3rd wold countries has been abused (physically,emotionally and sexually) but unable to go home because their passports are either with their employers or with their recruiters. Sad but true that they treat people like a slave just because they are rich.
As a Arab Muslim, i have to admit that that golf region ( emirates , kuwait and arabes saoudite and the rest ) are the worst human beings i have come across in my life .. they have no idea or concept for humanity and human right .. everything is just about the name of your family , how much you are worth. And that is so sad knowing that Islam came and first banished slavery and liberated slaves and put everyone at the some level .. this kind of people should be fought wherever they are .. who ever they are . Thus is not a matter of ethnicity or religion .. those are bad people and must be stopped .
I completely agree with you, she is the opposite of our teachings, she is arrogant and ignorant, selfish and a brat... Islam teaches us to be modest and kind to others especially the weak ones.. Doesn't she think that Allah is watching her and others? A true Muslim would fear God.. seems like she is of weak faith

Simply ignoring that everyone also says that's she's butt-ugly from the inside shows how twisted her view on reality is and how limited her braincapacity is.

But she's not even beautiful from the outside she just has an insane amount of make-up on.

I'm so done with these rag covered women. ALL religion is s**t and only brainwashed people are religious
Calm down, Cat person!! Generalizations are just that. True, this woman is has a huge empty head behind that pretty face, but hopefully she isn't representative of her religion's teachings.
Load More Replies...What I find very sad is she has been brought up to think she has done NOTHING wrong (as will many of her sheep, I mean followers)! I definitely blame her parents (where do you think she leared this from?), and her own ignorance in thinking she can post such thoughts and not have any fallout. Too bad her insides are not as nice looking as the outside.
They’re all just as bad as she is, if not worse. Ugly people inside out.
Load More Replies...I am 54 years old, and this is the first time I have ever seen a person act in such an elitist way. This woman is SO far removed from ANY people that are not filthy rich that she doesnt even know how to behave any other way! Those people are SO wealthy from oil $$, they simply cannot relate the average person! Additionally, when she got the opportunity to fix the situation, she dug herself to into a freakin CANYON!!!
This coming from a woman who is so oppressed, she can’t even show her own hair otherwise she will be stoned to death. Women fought long and hard throughout history to be free. You’re the one to talk...covered head to toe. I would like to see you without all that make-up caked on by the way. Ugly creature.
I initially thought this was great. Finally millions of people will hear about the thousands of migrant slaves in the Middle East. Migrants are trapped, some commit suicide to escape, they live in worker camps where sewage leaks into their recreational areas because it’s cheaper for the company to pay a fine than it is for them to have the pipes repaired. Migrant workers have limbs amputated after workplace injuries, it’s cheaper for the company than surgery. They are then sent home with no compensation, sometimes unable to work again. I hoped this woman’s video would bring some awareness. But I see she still has 2.3 million followers. I suspected that Instagram addicts lived in a shallow fantasy world, they don’t want to hear bad news, they’re there to see pretty pictures. They seek out instaperfection, they desperately want to ‘connect’ with Instafamous twits and to hell with the migrant slave, she’s not Instaworthy. More like social influenza to me..
beauty blogger?! Take all that c**p from her face and she's not even pretty. Fake beauty and fake human! I hope the brands that sponsor her quit on her a*s! If she had to work for her stuff she wouldn't think like that.
Please don't forget that modern slavery is not only caused by privileged middle east families but as well by the average consumer in Europe/Americas/Asia....even if the causation is a little harder to detect. Please stay aware of this if shopping for cheap and even not so cheap clothes, electronics food and other consumerism items. There usually is an alternative choice.There
As damnation-worthy as this behavior and the sometimes even deadly consequences arein the middle east, I have the strong feeling that most of the readers here seem to forget: we who go shopping for cheap imported clothes, food, electronics and other stuff make place for the same slavery-like conditions like the ones described in this post. Plus some mayor environmental and health issues. Only they take place far away from our eyes in places like Bangladesh, India, South American and African countries.
Social influencer or pretty face? Good that people are seeing the real her and unfollowing!
Why is she wearing a bag on her head? Do slaves have their own slaves in her country?
Don't judge a person without knowing the situation? I do know the situation. Domestic workers are allowed one day off per week, and you think that's TOO MUCH? What's the matter with you? Those are people we're talking about, not robots. They need to be able to rest. Besides, nobody owes you endless work. F@#k you!
Her viewpoints are just a taste of the way that Arabs have been seeing things for thousands of years. It is a good thing that more and more people are becoming aware of the Arab point of view. Taking others as slaves and treating them worse than animals is nothing new for them. Arabs were the main 'procurers' in the black African slave trade during the Roman Empire and all the way into the 1800's.
This woman needs a slap on her ugly face...who is she anyway?? YOU ARE NOTHING BUT A SECOND RATE TRYING HARD COPY CAT!!!! Remove her thick make up and lets see what she really looks like....tsk..tsk..tsk..another idiot!!!
What do you expect from a muslim, they still believe in slavery...backassward culture!!!
Exactly my thoughts. I wasn't surprised at all. This is just the typical Muslim attitude towards non-muslims.
Load More Replies...I love how she is utterly oblivious to what 'beautiful on the outside but not necessarily the same on the inside' means, she takes it as a compliment, which just shows how vacuous she is.
We hear too often of Filipino domestic workers being abused in foreign countries. It is past time that the government of the Philippines did something about creating jobs for their people at home instead of relying on the money that expats send home to their families to keep the economy running. During the 1970s they exported women as mail order wives to old men seeking sex slaves, now it is as maids to rich women seeking domestic slaves.
"Just because you don’t agree, doesn’t mean that you’re right". Um, we are when another person's well-being is at risk by your actions. Seriosuly, that's the most clché line ever to try to justify yourself. What a horrible human being.
How do you keep people working for you if you can't hold their passports hostage? That's an easy question to answer. You treat them with kindness and respect so that they will want to work for you. You pay them fairly and give them time to also enjoy life. This is not only a matter of decency, it also results in employees who will respect you, work hard for you and look out for your interests when you're not there. It's Business Relations 101.
One day a week free! That’s outragous! Two is the minimum a person should have, and 3 or 4 weeks of vacation too. If a person is treated decently there is no question about them keeping their passport because they wouldn’t want to leave. And if they, for some reason,do, than that’s their choice not the employers!
People will eventually come to realise that these 'influencers' are full of it and a total waste of space, they contribute nothing to society, zero, zilch, nada.
As far as being a "beauty" - you can put makeup on a pimply a*s and make it look beautiful.
The views of this privileged woman are reprehensible and people are rightly upset by them. I sincerely hope she loses her sponsors and followers. That said, I’m really saddened to see some commenters using this as a reason to air xenophobic opinions and anti Islam hate speech. It’s horrible and has no place on BP!
Just another example of being famous because of her medically altered looks, and make-up applied with a trowel. It's scary to think about how, for many people, looks are more important than character. She sounds like a self-important legend in her own mind, who feels she is better than those without wealth or a different race and/or culture. Her lack of any empathy and being out of touch with the real world takes away any possibility of beauty. Don't let social media continue to tell you what to think, what to believe, how to act, who to like, and what is important, while rotting your brain and slowly taking away your individuality.
WHO "follows" an "influencer" and "beauty" expert anyway? People who are essentially brain dead. Her opinions shouldn't surprise anyway, she is self entitled and superior (in her own opinion). REFUSE to put on a pedestal anyone like this. I HOPE her apology is seen for what it is.
That was not an apology she issued, only lies. What an ugly person she truly is
I want to reply to this, but there is so much wrong here. So so much wrong here. From mistreatment if humans, to some rich girl trying to explain to the world that they shouldn't judge her by her actions, no no I should wait till I meet her in person to think she is a backwards snob. I do wish I had lots of money, but as the saying goes... "Money is the root of all evil." That might not always be the case, but most of the time that is dead on.
Ignorance will always show it'self no matter how you try to cover it up. I am grateful to this twit for unknowingly helping open the eyes of the world to this problem. I had no idea this was even an issue. I know some "rich people" can be d***s but I had no idea there were more serious problems involved with the abusive practices placed on people from other countries.
If her followers stopped following this all goes away and this moderately attractive piece of trash needs a job
Why do I keep thinking "Uncle Tom's Cabin"...no idea why that keeps coming to mind, while I read her justifications.. . To hear this, is just unbelievable.

honestly my favorite part was the response saying "This is animal cruelty I mean why would you put makeup on a camel and label it beautician I'm reporting this to PETA" 😂
As Kuwaiti, I find her infuriating! We (as a family of 3) don't have a maid and yet the likes of her have the utmost audacity to complain about Filipino maids. What a lazy mobilized sack of cancer, beautified and revered by our (men's) testicles!
beyond the reasons that have made our beautiful blogger listen, it is interesting how, nowadays, if you want to put on a bisnes of this kind, you can not allow yourself to open your mouth and give your breath, as indeed many people still continue to do today. if you act in this way, it takes very little to find yourself with your a*s for trra as for this fascion that much of its charm has lost in a few clicks.
I can't help but think that people would be less outraged if they hadn't been duped into following her. When you idolize people, you degrade yourself because you're telling yourself that they are better than you are. So when something like this happens, the backlash is vicious because you feel like you've been betrayed..that you've been lied to. Everyone is flawed..some more than others. Look to yourself for uplifting inspiration and stop worshipping celebrities.
stupid woman !!!!!!! this is how your see humanity : just slaves for selfish et rubbish people ??? shame shame shame on you !!!!!!!!
If you don't want to be held like a slave then don't go to these extremist countries.
Its about time that someone start to recognise the plight of the Philippine people as expats. I've been yelling and screaming about this for years. the Philippine government is to blame in a part as well because it allows these atrocities, but the people who hire the expats need to treat ALL people from EVERY nation equally, not just what they can get away with because the originating country has lax laws. This is and always should be completely unacceptable.
I don't think I've ever seen so much arrogance, entitlement and unwarranted self-importance concentrated at the same place. It's going to burn a hole to Earth's core at this rate.
Two things: 1) A lot of money is spend on bring helpers from their home country to a foreign country like Kuwait. The manpower agency swallows the money and maids run away before completing the contract, and the embassy of the helper doesn't help. This is true. 2) Kuwaitis doesn't have a good reputation among the people in the Middle East, (one of reasons Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait, aka Gulf War).
It is true that maids are treated as slaves, people permit it, laws permit it. Nevertheless, there is a background of the statement, i presume: The companies charge individuals for their service of finding maid quite a lot of money. Sometimes up to 3000 USD. The maid arrives to host home with a hope of bright future for their kids and families back in their home countries. But then the reality strikes.. mistreatment and feeling of being trapped without a way out.. Eventually maid just runs away... Literally. To overcome the run away the hosts keep the maid's passport. So it gradually degrades from employment to slavery..
Also, you're very shortsighted and very foolish because happy employees are more likely to stay with you than slaves. Employees who are well-treated will be more loyal than abused people who have only one idea about their situation : GET THE HELL OUTTA THERE! So taking someone's passport away from them is the surest way to make them want to leave. Downright stupid beside being immoral. What sort of ethics do they teach at your mosque? And do you even bother to show up at prayers?
Buwahahahahaha.....a trying hard third rate HYPOCRITE SOCIAL CLUMBER!!!! Tsk..tsk..tsk...buwahahahaha...pweeee
Beauty is in the eyes of the photoshopper! Ugly cow - sorry, that's an insult to a cow. Shes just plain FUGLY
That was no apology, this woman is an entitled idiot. Why on earth is the kafala system still going, it is modern day slavery.
This woman is a total idiot. I wouldn't waste my time reading anything else about her. Narrow minded people who clearly believe they are better than others are fools. She should also check her grammar while writing a post for so many to see, especially when she is trying to show she believes she is correct in her ideals.
Actually after reading her response to the issue I don't read anything that claims she felt sorry for what she have done, she's just persuading us to other concern in regards to domestic laboring and employment rather than apologizing and explaining her actions.
you know, if we all got off social media and stopped 'following' people, these idiots wouldn't ever be heard of.
Is this what those poor soldiers’ lives worth when they fought the Gulf War? We should have left Saddam Hussein to brutally do what he pleases to this country if this is the general mentality.
first of all what you are talking about is actually Iraq not Kuwait plus your precious soldiers only went there to get that country's petrol with the excuse of the rumor of nuclear weapons so if it's anyone's fault it's your goverment's fault not the people of iraq or any of the arabs really

Her "apology" is a joke. "Resting hours are never long or flexible" wtf is that? I have a great idea, come here, be my "personal assistant" and while you're here you will have ONE day off a month and you will surrender your passport AND your precious makeup to me and we will see how you feel. I do have a question though and please i'm not trying to be ignorant I really want to know. How is it she can be on Instagram with all this makeup? I thought females from the middle east are not allowed to show their faces and wear makeup due to the animal fat inside the makeup? I could've sworn I heard or read this somewhere. If I'm wrong I apologize, I'm just curious. Other than that this idiot needs to be shut down. Let her just be a "face' in the middle east. She's disgusting. Like someone else said (and I love this saying) "You should eat some of that makeup so you can be pretty on the inside too b***h!"

She doesn't get it and she never will. Notwithstanding that she's popular on line, she IS property. Her culture and country don't see her as human and she's nothing more than a piece of meat to her family. If the men in her family chose to kill her, they would face NO consequences because all they have to do is lie and say that she "sinned". //// She sees women as property and since she can be sold or killed at any time, she thinks that's normal.

Those are people we're talking about, not robots. They need to be able to rest. Besides, nobody owes you endless work. F@#k you!
Her viewpoints are just a taste of the way that Arabs have been seeing things for thousands of years. It is a good thing that more and more people are becoming aware of the Arab point of view. Taking others as slaves and treating them worse than animals is nothing new for them. Arabs were the main 'procurers' in the black African slave trade during the Roman Empire and all the way into the 1800's.
This woman needs a slap on her ugly face...who is she anyway?? YOU ARE NOTHING BUT A SECOND RATE TRYING HARD COPY CAT!!!! Remove her thick make up and lets see what she really looks like....tsk..tsk..tsk..another idiot!!!
What do you expect from a muslim, they still believe in slavery...backassward culture!!!
Exactly my thoughts. I wasn't surprised at all. This is just the typical Muslim attitude towards non-muslims.

We hear too often of Filipino domestic workers being abused in foreign countries. It is past time that the government of the Philippines did something about creating jobs for their people at home instead of relying on the money that expats send home to their families to keep the economy running. During the 1970s they exported women as mail order wives to old men seeking sex slaves, now it is as maids to rich women seeking domestic slaves.
"Just because you don’t agree, doesn’t mean that you’re right". Um, we are when another person's well-being is at risk by your actions. Seriosuly, that's the most clché line ever to try to justify yourself. What a horrible human being.
How do you keep people working for you if you can't hold their passports hostage? That's an easy question to answer. You treat them with kindness and respect so that they will want to work for you. You pay them fairly and give them time to also enjoy life. This is not only a matter of decency, it also results in employees who will respect you, work hard for you and look out for your interests when you're not there. It's Business Relations 101.
One day a week free! That’s outragous! Two is the minimum a person should have, and 3 or 4 weeks of vacation too. If a person is treated decently there is no question about them keeping their passport because they wouldn’t want to leave. And if they, for some reason,do, than that’s their choice not the employers!
People will eventually come to realise that these 'influencers' are full of it and a total waste of space, they contribute nothing to society, zero, zilch, nada.
As far as being a "beauty" - you can put makeup on a pimply a*s and make it look beautiful.
The views of this privileged woman are reprehensible and people are rightly upset by them. I sincerely hope she loses her sponsors and followers. That said, I’m really saddened to see some commenters using this as a reason to air xenophobic opinions and anti Islam hate speech. It’s horrible and has no place on BP!
Just another example of being famous because of her medically altered looks, and make-up applied with a trowel. It's scary to think about how, for many people, looks are more important than character. She sounds like a self-important legend in her own mind, who feels she is better than those without wealth or a different race and/or culture. Her lack of any empathy and being out of touch with the real world takes away any possibility of beauty. Don't let social media continue to tell you what to think, what to believe, how to act, who to like, and what is important, while rotting your brain and slowly taking away your individuality.
WHO "follows" an "influencer" and "beauty" expert anyway? People who are essentially brain dead. Her opinions shouldn't surprise anyway, she is self entitled and superior (in her own opinion). REFUSE to put on a pedestal anyone like this. I HOPE her apology is seen for what it is.
That was not an apology she issued, only lies. What an ugly person she truly is
I want to reply to this, but there is so much wrong here. So so much wrong here. From mistreatment if humans, to some rich girl trying to explain to the world that they shouldn't judge her by her actions, no no I should wait till I meet her in person to think she is a backwards snob. I do wish I had lots of money, but as the saying goes... "Money is the root of all evil." That might not always be the case, but most of the time that is dead on.
Ignorance will always show it'self no matter how you try to cover it up. I am grateful to this twit for unknowingly helping open the eyes of the world to this problem. I had no idea this was even an issue. I know some "rich people" can be d***s but I had no idea there were more serious problems involved with the abusive practices placed on people from other countries.
If her followers stopped following this all goes away and this moderately attractive piece of trash needs a job
Why do I keep thinking "Uncle Tom's Cabin"...no idea why that keeps coming to mind, while I read her justifications.. . To hear this, is just unbelievable.

Who the f**k still uses the term servants? Ignorance is truly bliss. My darling think that you're above the law as well as thinking that your a*s is entitled. If you think that anyone in their right mind is going sit by and watch you poison our kids you have another thing coming.

honestly my favorite part was the response saying "This is animal cruelty I mean why would you put makeup on a camel and label it beautician I'm reporting this to PETA" 😂
As Kuwaiti, I find her infuriating! We (as a family of 3) don't have a maid and yet the likes of her have the utmost audacity to complain about Filipino maids. What a lazy mobilized sack of cancer, beautified and revered by our (men's) testicles!
beyond the reasons that have made our beautiful blogger listen, it is interesting how, nowadays, if you want to put on a bisnes of this kind, you can not allow yourself to open your mouth and give your breath, as indeed many people still continue to do today. if you act in this way, it takes very little to find yourself with your a*s for trra as for this fascion that much of its charm has lost in a few clicks.
I can't help but think that people would be less outraged if they hadn't been duped into following her. When you idolize people, you degrade yourself because you're telling yourself that they are better than you are. So when something like this happens, the backlash is vicious because you feel like you've been betrayed..that you've been lied to. Everyone is flawed..some more than others. Look to yourself for uplifting inspiration and stop worshipping celebrities.
stupid woman !!!!!!! this is how your see humanity : just slaves for selfish et rubbish people ??? shame shame shame on you !!!!!!!!
If you don't want to be held like a slave then don't go to these extremist countries.
Its about time that someone start to recognise the plight of the Philippine people as expats. I've been yelling and screaming about this for years. the Philippine government is to blame in a part as well because it allows these atrocities, but the people who hire the expats need to treat ALL people from EVERY nation equally, not just what they can get away with because the originating country has lax laws. This is and always should be completely unacceptable.
I don't think I've ever seen so much arrogance, entitlement and unwarranted self-importance concentrated at the same place. It's going to burn a hole to Earth's core at this rate.
Two things: 1) A lot of money is spend on bring helpers from their home country to a foreign country like Kuwait. The manpower agency swallows the money and maids run away before completing the contract, and the embassy of the helper doesn't help. This is true. 2) Kuwaitis doesn't have a good reputation among the people in the Middle East, (one of reasons Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait, aka Gulf War).
It is true that maids are treated as slaves, people permit it, laws permit it. Nevertheless, there is a background of the statement, i presume: The companies charge individuals for their service of finding maid quite a lot of money. Sometimes up to 3000 USD. The maid arrives to host home with a hope of bright future for their kids and families back in their home countries. But then the reality strikes.. mistreatment and feeling of being trapped without a way out.. Eventually maid just runs away... Literally. To overcome the run away the hosts keep the maid's passport. So it gradually degrades from employment to slavery..
Also, you're very shortsighted and very foolish because happy employees are more likely to stay with you than slaves. Employees who are well-treated will be more loyal than abused people who have only one idea about their situation : GET THE HELL OUTTA THERE! So taking someone's passport away from them is the surest way to make them want to leave. Downright stupid beside being immoral. What sort of ethics do they teach at your mosque? And do you even bother to show up at prayers?
Buwahahahahaha.....a trying hard third rate HYPOCRITE SOCIAL CLUMBER!!!! Tsk..tsk..tsk...buwahahahaha...pweeee
Beauty is in the eyes of the photoshopper! Ugly cow - sorry, that's an insult to a cow. Shes just plain FUGLY
That was no apology, this woman is an entitled idiot. Why on earth is the kafala system still going, it is modern day slavery.
This woman is a total idiot. I wouldn't waste my time reading anything else about her. Narrow minded people who clearly believe they are better than others are fools. She should also check her grammar while writing a post for so many to see, especially when she is trying to show she believes she is correct in her ideals.
Actually after reading her response to the issue I don't read anything that claims she felt sorry for what she have done, she's just persuading us to other concern in regards to domestic laboring and employment rather than apologizing and explaining her actions.
you know, if we all got off social media and stopped 'following' people, these idiots wouldn't ever be heard of.
Is this what those poor soldiers’ lives worth when they fought the Gulf War? We should have left Saddam Hussein to brutally do what he pleases to this country if this is the general mentality.
first of all what you are talking about is actually Iraq not Kuwait plus your precious soldiers only went there to get that country's petrol with the excuse of the rumor of nuclear weapons so if it's anyone's fault it's your goverment's fault not the people of iraq or any of the arabs really

How can she leave her house without a car full of make-up and iPhone photo-editing app to alter her bland-looking face?
Her "apology" is a joke. "Resting hours are never long or flexible" wtf is that? I have a great idea, come here, be my "personal assistant" and while you're here you will have ONE day off a month and you will surrender your passport AND your precious makeup to me and we will see how you feel. I do have a question though and please i'm not trying to be ignorant I really want to know. How is it she can be on Instagram with all this makeup? I thought females from the middle east are not allowed to show their faces and wear makeup due to the animal fat inside the makeup? I could've sworn I heard or read this somewhere. If I'm wrong I apologize, I'm just curious. Other than that this idiot needs to be shut down. Let her just be a "face' in the middle east. She's disgusting. Like someone else said (and I love this saying) "You should eat some of that makeup so you can be pretty on the inside too b***h!"
Heather Vanc I don't know whether her religion allows her to wear makeup or not and the reasons behind that but there are a lot of makeup brands that are completely cruelty free and contain no animal products.

She doesn't get it and she never will. Notwithstanding that she's popular on line, she IS property. Her culture and country don't see her as human and she's nothing more than a piece of meat to her family. If the men in her family chose to kill her, they would face NO consequences because all they have to do is lie and say that she "sinned". //// She sees women as property and since she can be sold or killed at any time, she thinks that's normal.
Educate her? Wow, are you really that naive? Do you really think she cares what any of us thinks about this?
