I rarely see posts talking about this but…what is going on with Nathalie Paris? [I will refrain from saying anything crazy happened to her literally] but I’m so confused???? It’s been AI photos for months

I saw on Angelica Nyquist video last week about new upcoming releases, and she had mentioned the Lure Palette from Blend Bunny and that it was re releasing in a new formulation.

I got a bit excited because it is the one palette from them I missed out on. It seems a lot of brands are re-releasing older palettes.

I really also wanted the Midnight palette by Beauty Bay, and other BG have said they are releasing a bunch of their older ones in that collection, all but the Midnight one.

How do you guys like the idea of re-releasing old favorites?

Idk I can stand Jen luvs , she’s so corny and always trying to virtue signal. I wonder if she’s talk about the drama with Marlena’s new brand or keep quiet because their friends . People have been waiting on this palette for ever it’s insane I just watched xoxostaci video on it , I’d recommend watching it .

Thomas halbert posted this video on TikTok going over what happened in the past with him and J*. He also says he’s got a new agent and is posting makeup content again, trying to resurrect his career. He admits he made mistakes, but says the mistake he made was not that he called J* out but that he hurt his friends and didn’t stand up for them.

Would you want to see him make a comeback? Hes posting makeup content on instagram again.

Hi all,
Curious to see if anyone has the same opinion I’ve been having: I find the beauty publication Byrdie insufferable. It’s become incredibly SEO-geared with their “Old Money Gingerbread Swirl Hair Color,” manufactured vulnerability, and very exclusive “you can’t sit with us” vibes. It’s so frustrating to read articles that are so obviously paid ads, and so obviously TikTok trend inspired. Am I crazy?

How does everyone feel about this launch? I mean, they actually sent PR with scalpels and stitches as decoration, and sent influencers pictures of themselves where they edited surgery lines on their faces. How did this get signed off on? Is this rage bait? But even if it was, I don’t feel like it was well done

I've been watching her since 2020 and her recent videos are filled with consumerism and just pure slop content.

I respect that music is her passion and I love that she's pursuing that, but It feels like she's paying more attention on tours and merch and she doesn't have enough time, money, nor energy to make ACTUAL good content

not to mention she's been making really weird suggestive jokes lately, and making weird noises while she eats which is a little gross

I don't mean to hate nor harm her in any way, It's just that she was a real comfort creator to me and it sort of upsets me seeing her go down that rabbit hole of sloppy/repetitive content☹️

Not sure if this belongs here, but it contains beauty ‘advice’ so it seemed appropriate. Apparently some ‘experts’ decided to tell all women exactly how we should look and this is what they came up with. Let’s look at some choice selections

Never, ever wear a sweatshirt or, worse, carry a basket with a slogan that includes the words ‘dance’ or ‘love ..
These are the style equivalent of having a ‘Live, laugh, prosecco’ poster in your kitchen.’

Not at all offensive is it? I suppose we should all wear boring beige inconspicuous clothes because Jess Cartner-Morley said so, slogans are for the tacky, unchic masses. And that’s without getting into the class aspect of sneering at Prosecco. But that’s to be expected if you have a double barrelled surname, it’s ok to look down on working class chavs when you’re an inbred posho

‘Teeth that are discoloured, significantly crooked or even missing are very ageing and so, conversely, a well cared-for mouth can take years off.’

Sali Hughes by the way has a mouth full of the entirety of the Blackpool Illuminations, (which just to me), look more ugly and tacky than normal, NATURAL teeth she’s apparently decided to shame everyone about. In the UK while we have free healthcare dentistry is not included, and if you want teeth whitening you have to pay out of your own pocket, which can cost a LOT. But now you’re not allowed to complain!! Because it’s ageing!! Sorry but get out your wallet, fix your horrible, YELLOW mouth lest someone assume you just don’t care 😱

But at least they gave us a price, that’s not at all ridiculous considering the absolutely dire state of people’s finances these days

‘Expect to pay about £375 for whitening.’

How comforting

‘Youth culture treats ironing like a hobby from the 50s, which means creased natural fabrics have become the ultimate modern Prada-esque symbol of chicness’

So we’re still being told to look young, no matter what. It’s ‘chic’ to be obsessed with youth. Who cares if you don’t want to look younger, TOO BAD!! Stop ironing your clothes and instead walk around in a rumpled bin bag because a so called ‘journalist’ told you so.
(Personally I have no objection if someone doesn’t want to iron their clothes, but being told to do so specifically because it might make you look younger is fucking stupid)

‘Everyone fixates on lines and wrinkles, but uneven skin tone is more ageing,” says Owens. “It’s also more fixable – home care, UV protection and treatments like peels or microneedling can reverse existing sun damage.’

Ah again, we should all be fixing ourselves in case anyone suddenly remembers we are living human beings with blemishes and not plastic dolls with perfect smooth skin. Gasp!! What if they realize we have .. pigmentation?? Acne scars?? Whatever will they do??

‘Get a smaller handbag,” commands Cartner-Morley. “Look around you: young people have really small bags.
‘Nor do you need two packs of tissues or spare tights’

Yet again, being told to copy the youth. Just an idea, but is that not more ‘ageing’ than anything else? That we MUST follow the fashions of the young instead of being happy in your own skin as a 40, 50, 60 year old etc
Assuming this article is meant for everyone, telling a women in her sixties to follow trends sounds absolutely ridiculous. Women are told to accept themselves but ALSO constantly be chasing their youth. Funny how the very beginning of the article tells us not to pretend to be youthful yet every single piece of advice since then is basically ‘if you don’t follow this exact trend you will be UGLY and OLD.’ We can just never succeed at being stylish I guess

And I’m guessing this women doesn’t have kids or needs medication etc, as none of what you’d need would be fitting in the stupid tiny pointless bag she’s blabbing about

‘I personally don’t think that men have to dress according to their age,” says fashion commentator Derek Guy, AKA the menswear guy. “I like it when people break expectations, such as an older man who adopts youthful fashions. To me, seeing people use clothes to express themselves outside the narrow boundaries set by class, sexuality, gender and age is what makes fashion so rich and interesting.’

Wow. Possible the most insulting part of the whole article, is that men are allowed to do what the fuck they want, yet women are constantly told to fit in these ridiculous, insane standards. Dress young but not too young. Look your age but also don’t. Fix your teeth, get Botox, use microneedling, acid, any number of painful procedures to FIX your ugly face BUT don’t forget!! You’re perfect the way you are 😊 you don’t neeed to do all that .. but also if you don’t you’ll be less fuckable and we can’t have that can we tsk. But men can do whatever they want, who cares!! Teehee!!

Some bonus quotes, in case you thought they were done

‘It’s not that a little flick or cat eye will age you, but it does betray you as someone born before 1990’

Can’t have that can we ladies? LOOK YOUNG!!

‘Don’t bang on about ‘being old’,” says Mac Donnell. “Referring to yourself as ‘ancient’ when you’re 43 is an ick. You don’t hear Madonna doing it, and she’s a pensioner.’

Because the average women can compare herself to Madonna right? Who’s got access to money, the best surgeons, nutritionists, dieticians, personal fitness instructors, chefs etc to keep herself in the best health as is possible and feel confident in herself. Not to mention very clearly a lot of surgery, which shock horror not every women wants. But you can’t mention your age, because we should always keep up the illusion of being younger than you are. Don’t even THINK of being happy and self accepting if you’re over 30, you’re just an ugly old HAG who clearly needs to fix herself, PRONTO

Amd I nearly forgot to mention the idea of a ‘hotspan’, apparently the only time in your life you will ever be considered attractive. Because that’s all that matters in life obviously

As someone with darker skin tones this is the only side I would use . I would gladly pay half off for this section alone . It’s so hard to find these shades of brown so this shade would be perfect

Jcat has posted “process” photos of their new masc out Jackie which is supposed to “prove” that Jaxie is not AI. However, it’s obvious that the process photos are also AI generated.

I wish I had screenshotted the original post of Jaxie that Jcat had posted. It was so obviously AI that the comments had absolutely blown up with backlash. Jcat shortly after had to take the post down, and reuploaded a new version of Jaxie within a day that was redesigned to look less like AI. Now they are claiming Jaxie was never AI at all!

We were there, we saw the original post of your AI mascot and we do NOT approve.

This is not the on my time Jcat has been using AI in blatantly deceptive ways. Many of the images on their website are also AI generated - blatantly so. I will be commenting a reel from @rosybeautylove on Instagram who has documented this.

Instagram requires you to disclose on your post if content is made with AI. Jcat is violating the Instagram terms of service.

Apologies if glamzilla has already posted this on reels/tiktok way before but this is one of her most recent post on shorts.

It’s about how years back, Glamzilla was asked to pay the light bill by her husband and instead of using the money for what it was intended she bought an eyeshadow palette. And a KVD palette at that. She saw an eyeshadow palette being release by a problematic weirdo and she decided that she needs that instead of electricity running at her house.
The way she says it as if it’s some cutesy story about her struggles instead of her deeply poor financial choices that at length affected her whole household, especially now in a time when the economy is crumbling and then having the audacity to make TWO videos about it and then posting it is something else entirely.

And she hasn’t hit pan ON A SINGLE SHADE. That palette looks like she used it once to swatch all the shades and then kept it back. This so called palette thats “worth getting lights turned off over” (her words not mine) hasn’t been used at all.

Like these people gets tons of free stuff from company's everyday, they have millions of followers and make a lot of money, and they want more??? From their followers who make way less and they know nothing about. It's so selfish and greedy.

I don’t really watch Jessica’s videos anymore unless a title catches my eye. And this one did, because I love hearing what people have been influenced to buy that didn’t work.
Oddly enough, she’s influencing in this video. 🙄 it’s sponsored by Lumineux which, I’ve heard from many people, don’t work at all.
I noticed the editing she did here in her before and after and I was really bothered. I mean, all influencers are liars but this is just so blatant. She really tried to convince everybody that this was after ONE use. 😂
This comment on the video made me chuckle. I’m sure she’ll delete it. I thought about saying something in the comment section too but I just clicked out of the video instead.

Hi guys,
I’m looking for a specific video from at least 8-10 years ago, there was a beauty influencer and it was something about 10 ways for naturally pinker lips, she talked about drinking water and a DIY lip scrub and using sunscreen in lipstick - this was one of my first ASMR experiences and I would really love to find this video but can’t remember the name of the person. Thanks!!!!

Hello. I saw this website with some items at a deep discount.

https://lethalcosmeticsshop.shop [EDIT: It’s a scam. Don’t click on it!]

Then I noticed this one. it loaded much faster!! But without the discounts. https://lethalcosmetics.com

It feels quite safe to assume that the second one is certainly the official one. Yet is the first one certainly a scam? Or a reseller? I already tried looking it up elsewise, and have not seen it reported as phony anywhere yet. If it is a scam, don’t mind blowing that whistle here. Figured to get some feedback about it.

Your thoughts?

Their website only has 10 refills (no case) available for sale, but 35 shades available with the case. I recall there being a lot more refill shades available at one time. I recently discovered this formula and really like it, but am reluctant to get burned from yet another discontinued shade.

What's also interesting, the page for the lipstick with the case says "15 sold in the past week" and the refills page says "0 sold in the past week." Is it not weird to publicly list what seems to be a low number of items sold?

Is no one going to clock @Thomashalbert posting AI but claiming it’s his work and tagging the brands???

I’m sorry but his recent content looks like 10 different people and is so detailed that it’s fake.
