    This is a thoughtful statement! This trip has the value of a month’s or two salary. Are they attributing their success selling serums to these influencers?! I guess the trips, in theory, are in lieu of them paying for advertising but it’s all based in the same gross manipulative culture of trying to keep up with 1% socialite culture. The brand is tapping into insecurities, sadness and feelings of not being good enough to make bank. It’s sad and I hate these brands who, like influencers, may have once had a good vision but now just portray abundance in a way that will never help woman feel truly loved or strong.
