Earlier in the month I made a “this is the end of” post. For the time being this is goodbye. I haven’t truly blogged in a few years as I’m quickly approaching my 50s. (Yikes! When did that happen? I’ll be 49 by the end of 2023.)While beauty products still interests me, there are younger people whose creativity & voices are stronger & more entertaining than my own. Let’s face it, I’ve

Information in this blog post falls under US Fair Use laws. Back in early or mid-December, I found out that Jeffree Star and Morphe's long-awaited brush collaboration was finally in the US. According to the free and open import records, at least three shipments arrived in the US in early December and at least one arriving in mid-November. If I recall correctly there are actually more records

*Sigh* Here we go again. I feel like I'm becoming a drama blog covering the industry news that revolves around Morphe. I also feel like Morphe has taken a page out of the Kardashian's playbook - copy other companies, infringe on the copyrights and trademarks of other companies, quickly sell products using those violated copyrights and trademarks for millions, and settle out of court for a small

Just a quick blog post this morning on the information shared with me by Beauty Truth Sleuth. Apparently, Morphe has withdrawn their lawsuit against BECCA Cosmetics and settlement has been reached in BECCA's favor. Terms of the settlement will not be made public. If I had to guess, and I am with this opinion, all of Jaclyn's videos for BECCA (up on their YouTube channel), along with her Tweets,

This blog post has been edited twice since it was published on August 24, 2018.  The last update was August 27, 2018. Ever wonder how much a social media influencers like Jaclyn Hill, Manny MUA, and others make for their collabs and affiliate codes or links? Let me tell you, it's a lot. NOTE: This blog post is based a bit on my own experiences as well as what I've been told by friends who

Beauty Truth Sleuth, a cosmetic investigative reporter on YouTube, just released the video above. Last month I stated that I suspected (as many others did) that BECCA Cosmetics issued Morphe Brushes a cease and desist over the package design. This led to Morphe pulling the palettes in June on the basis that there were quality control issues. Well, I was right. BECCA Cosmetics DID issue a

Just a quick follow up post to yesterday's post. ULTA Beauty is selling the Vault palettes individually for $15 each or all four for $60. If you go to Morphe's site you can buy all four for less ($49). That said, let's talk about batch codes. What is a batch code? Cosmetics sold are usually tagged with some kind of batch code or lot # to identify the product. It can be viewed as a way to prove

Let me preface this by saying it's no secret that I do not like Morphe Cosmetics. The company is shady and manipulative at best, liars at worst. They have copied other products in the past from Viseart to Ben Nye, and many other true professional brands. On top of that, they work with their number one shiller, Jaclyn Hill. Before anyone tries to come at me by claiming I'm making libelous

It's no secret that I DO NOT like Dhar Mann or his company LiveGlam. I honestly have nothing personally against him as I do not know him and have not been directly affected by his actions. The reason I do not like him or his company is simply, in my opinion,  he deliberately and intentionally scammed people out of their money on the LiveGlam "school" with their "diplomas"/"certificates"

Please refer to your country's laws and regulations on becoming a professional makeup artist as each country's laws are different. Some countries require a professional license and some don't. This blog post is based on US laws and regulations. Yesterday I blogged about whether or not LiveGlam was a scam or not. In short the answer is yes for a plethora of reasons including targeting minors to

I need to preface this by saying I'm not going to sugarcoat things in this blog post in order to "be nice" for a few reasons which will come clear within this blog post. To become a professional makeup artist it takes work, dedication and knowledge as well as talent and the skills to do the job. This is a SERVICE industry those who work in this industry are "the help" (as Kevin James Bennett
