18 Cruelty-free Alternatives to Kat Von D Beauty | For when you love the goth aesthetic

Description

Today I'm sharing 18 cruelty-free alternatives to Kat Von D Beauty. For when you love the aesthetic of Victoriana but not the diseases, as a friend put it. While Kat Von D is cruelty free and vegan, she's also still anti-Semitic and anti-vaxx. As a Jewish person, I'm not comfortable shopping from someone who is anti-Semitic. I realize that Kat Von D made a video that said she's not anti-Semitic, but she didn't really address the elephant in the room, as they say. If she had only had one or two incidents, I would have continued to give Kat the benefit of the doubt as I did for years. You KNOW I love her products and have raved about them in the past. It was only after my grandmother died last summer, which happened around the time of the anti-vaxx stuff, that I tried to look more deeply into these incidents and was disgusted by what I found. It would have been easy for Kat to say she doesn't hate the Jewish people. She didn't. Also, just because she is Latina, it does not mean that she is not racist. That's like saying 'I'm not a racist because I have black friends.'

That's like saying 'I'm not a racist because I have black friends.'

People have asked me many times now if I will change my opinion on Kat Von D and the truth is if she were to literally publicly say 'I love the Jewish people. I support the Jewish people. I stand against anti-semitism', yes. But she already took an opportunity to make a video and didn't do that. Count me disappointed as I'd brushed off the handwriting thing in the past and thought that she wasn't anti-Semitic for years. I looked up to her and loved her brand and style. At least I still have Dita von Teese and Avelina de Moray to look at for inspo.

To be clear, I am only speaking for me. Not the entire Jewish Community.

I'm not asking anyone to boycott Kat Von D Beauty. I'm explaining why you will no longer be seeing me review Kat Von D Beauty on my blog, because I get asked about it weekly.
