*Correction* - The date on BratC3ntral's second TikTok giving theft secrets was on JULY 15, 2023, not February. Not sure what happened there!

When I saw "Patrick Starr Sells Out", I did not read that as a product sold out. I read that as Patrick Starr did something that would make people mad.

[kristinzides]

I adopted my daughters a few years ago which it can be awkward at first because they were 6 & 8 at the time ( 9 & 11 now). they loved watching YouTube about makeup & fashion. There’s a few channels we would just watch which would lead to us talking & breaking ice & yours is one. They love watching you!

[nathan_martin]

I work as a manager in a retail business, and these days it's common place to sign a Social Media Policy that means you can't say negative stuff about the business, and in some cases even positive postings must be cleared by the marketing team.

I don't post about my workplace at all. It's easier that way.

[juliemoses]

The Olaplex lawsuit is sort of silly. If you’re a serial hair dyer, the hair damage can cause hair breakage and loss. Olaplex may help but you won’t have virgin hair again.

[stacym]

Decades ago, Merle Norman Cosmetics sold their basic mascara in brown, black, and two blackened-color shades called Night Violet and Night Sapphire. They were truly wonderful! Just enough blue or purple to enhance eye colors, without being too "in your face." Now with the various makeup brands trying to make colored mascara happen, I keep waiting for something similar. If it were marketed right, I bet it would do well.

[ericatucker]

Ok so the one size setting spray is legit. I sweat a lot from my face, and it is the only setting spray that keeps my makeup on my face. One size really had great products at great prices. I own almost the entire line.

[kaitlyncollier]

Using a mascara tester is insane (as an ulta employee) pls do not use testers straight on ur face without sanitizing or using wands 😭😭 ppl r so gross and u don’t know where thats been

[oknsoff]

What bugs me about the FDA is behind they are in approving sunscreen ingredients. My favorite Australian sunscreen Ultra Violette SPF 50 can’t be sold in the US. You know the Aussies know their sunscreen. The ingredients are approved in the EU, so you know the FDA just doesn’t make it a priority. My Aussie BFF has to stock up when she goes back to Oz to visit her family.

[kagitsune]

I really hope we also get a sunscreen filters update from the FDA! I know that Charlotte Parler is running a campaign for it.

[Muh-Rang]

Okay so as a consumer I am THRILLED about the updates regs. But as an indie brand lover, I know this is going to be an additional cost in manufacturing and a barrier to entry in the market. Hopefully the small business exemptions are enough to support small biz without sacrificing consumer protection!!!

I’m a hairstylist, and personally I only like the olaplex No 2 and the mask for backbar for professionals to use on clients, didn’t like the shampoo and conditioner and the other products just didn’t stand out to me, I’ve had many clients start coming to me and they describe how they didn’t like their hair and why and once they stopped using the olaplex shampoo and conditioner their hair got better. I don’t think that it’s bad products but just like any other hair products it may not be for everyone

[roni-yah]

After watching the documentary Painkiller on Netflix, I have even less respect for the FDA. Yes they need to change and that’s an understatement.

[marlbboro]

I am devotee of colored mascara. My first blue mascara was Chanel. It was Soooo good. Now I only wear L’Oréal because only they have a range. Yess here for YSL

[AngelaMissal-ev]

Loreal has had colored mascara for years. Blue, green, maroon and purple. I have used them all. Fun stuff

[babymonet]

Ok Jen! You are slaying your today! You need to start linking where you buy your tops in your descriptions again! I want all of them!

[KirstenOrndorff]

My mom swears by blue mascara 😂 so those brands that make blue mascara have at least 1 loyal customer 😅

[honeybeigemua]

I worked for Sephora for 8 years (on & off). There is no contract you have to sign around social media, but when I was in a leadership position, we were given guidelines on how to run a social media account for our specific stores & that we couldn’t tag our personal accounts. I will say that Sephora gets very serious about retail theft. I once was almost terminated for walking out of my store to get my products back from a guy who stole them. Thankfully I just got a warning. That ex employee seems very… irresponsible & she might just have been fired for being a bad employee & is using that TikTok as clout for why she got fired. Just my opinion.

Edit: I worded myself wrong. I didn’t have to sign a social media contract in the 8 years I was involved with SEPHORA as a company. Sorry about that!

[stylebyniall]

I worked for natura bisse when Beyonce said in an interview that she uses their brand. They were going to gift her over £5000 of skincare. They had her or people on the phone and we were told very politely that Mrs Carter is happy to purchase it herself and the call ended. Her team are so protective of her image and reputation. I would have bigged up the makeup artist not the client

[TranceDivine]

Sephora STILL does over charge on sales tax..I live in PA and they have been doing this for quite some time now..most of the time after the items have been shipped then they recharge the correct sales tax...I dont get it..if they have your address in their data base..you should be charged the EXACT tax at the place order..
