Another day, another beauty controversy on YouTube.
Jeffrey Star raised more than a few eyebrows last
week when he revealed his new palate.
The palette is called "the Cremated" and it's part of
a larger collection dropping this weekend.
It's inspired by his Goth makeup style.
And it includes eye shadow shades like "the Morgue",
"Death Certificate" and "Grave digger".
I am so ready for a new launch and it's been
really crazy times out there um.. and I'm just ready
to play makeup again.
There has been a lot of backlash over this because
while we're in the middle of a global pandemic.
COVID-19 has claimed hundreds of thousands of lives
and people feel the theme of this launch
is highly inappropriate.
I connected with the Recap squad on this and they
have a slightly different take.

Cremated release at this time is probably
one of the best marketing strategy.
All that...all people getting ravelled up all
because people seem like this is too controversial.
Is free marketing for him.
[crosstalk]
I don't think that it was a marketing strategy.
I truly do believe that he had this palette which
he did already announced the public.
He had this palette.
It was supposed to come out.
They tried to be respectful and push
the date but you can't always push things off for so long.
And I think he's being put under a really fine
microscope and everyone's just coming at him because
everyone's kind of bored about talking about COVID.
Everyone's looking for a reason to be upset right now.
And so they're to scrutinize people for everything.
The product just seems really
cool overall and people I think are just
overreacting because, like Ethan said, people have
a lot of time on their hands right now.
And honestly I think as a business owner,
for me personally,
everything...
No matter what people say,
every thing you do as a business owner
is a marketing strategy.
Whether you mean for it to be or not, it is,
because you have a bunch of people working your team.
It's not just Jeffrey.
You have multiple people talking about this,
multiple different perspectives.
There has to be someone saying look it's good that
we release it now because it's possible that all of
this may happen - bring more attention to it.
Whether that's Jeffrey's intent or not,
everything you really do as a business owner
you have to think your marketing.
He creates artwork essentially through making these pallets.
These pallets are literally how he expresses himself.
Every single pallet that he's ever released
has been based off of stories,
have been based off of his true life
and things that he's gone through.
So every pallet that he's released has literally
meant a lot to him.
And you've seen that and you've seen the proof of
that even through the whole documentary series
which he just did with Shane Dawson.
You saw the behind the scenes, you got to see that
every single detail put into one of his pallets.
There's a reason behind it. Mic drop.
Mic drop.
I have a pen in my hand so I'll just drop that.

Jeffery has addressed the complaints over Cremated
and is sticking to his truth.
Saying the collection can
be interpreted any way anyone wants to take it.
But I always come from a good place.
You can make up your own mind and face.

What Would You Do News?
The chance family lives in Caroline County, Virginia.
They say they were out for an afternoon drive when
they ran over a bag sitting in the middle of the road.
At first they thought it was trash and stopped to pick it up.
How nice.
And then they noticed a second bag a few feet away
and picked that up too.
What they didn't realize is that the bags contained
almost one million dollars in cash.
They only discovered their trash was really cash
when they got home.
And then they did what anyone would do,
they called the police to report the find.
Wow!
Deputies are investigating but believe the bags
belonged to a postal service and the money
was meant for a bank.
But how did the bags end up on the road?
Should the finders keepers rule not apply.
What would you do?
Man, I got to start driving more.

One of Disney's top executives resigned this
week to become the CEO of TikTok.
His name is Kevin Mayer and he was most
responsible for the rollout of Disney+.
But now he'll be leading ByteDance,
the company that owns and runs TikTok.
The move is shocking some people because he's one of
the most high profile American executives to go
work for a Chinese owned company and get this,
while he was at Disney,
he helped orchestrate the purchases of
Pixar, Marvel and Lucas Films.

Now in a New York Times interview Mr Mayer
said music and gaming would be two things he wants to
expand on TikTok.
And speaking of that,
I got together with the Recap squad for a podcast.
We did a deep dive on TikTok -
the good, the bad and the cult wars.
One thing I want to get your opinion on is
the "cult" activity going on TikTok.
What? There's a cult?
I didn't know there was cults.

Have you heard of these step chickens?
But they sound terrifying.
We even imagined some new useful features.
I'll be sure to send the link to Mr Mayer.

So reopening shopping malls in Canada is up to each province.
They're starting to open up in certain cities
and there's definitely a new normal.
It's going to feel so weird going back
to the mall again.
Canada's biggest mall the West Edmonton Mall opened
for business last week.
The list of new safety precautions there could be
what happens in your city.
Here's what they've got going on.
Signs on the floor mark which direction
you're supposed to walk.
Hand sanitization enters at all entrances.
Movable common seating areas have been removed.
Plexiglass shields installed at cash desks
and guest service counters.
Shoppers are encouraged to wear masks.
Stores will limit the amount of shoppers inside at any one time.
Food court seating is reduced to
50 per cent and food court trays are no more,
it's grab and go only.
And you know when the mall's
mascot is wearing a mask,
they're taking this very seriously.
Well, that's it for me but I'll be back next week
with an all new Recap.
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go look for
some trash in the middle of the road.
It's all about the money.
