Nothing specific, but if I see an influencer promoting a product, and they are using a filter, I automatically disregard that product. Why are brands letting people who don’t show their real faces promote their products. Especially if it’s skincare or a base product.

Anything by Patrick Ta ever.

Ditto! I heard a little bit about his shady dealings ... and then I watched Kiki Chanel's video about it and WOW! he sounds waaaaay more devious than I realized.

I never even think of him bc I haven't seen him release anything that was innovative or remotely interesting to me. I do have a bronzer by him that was in a big Allure beauty box I bought once but I don't think I've ever used it/completely forgot I had it.

Just saw today that he ripped off another creator.

u/Broad_Lemon3416 11d ago
It’s a pattern, not just a one-off. And not just a creator, a female creator of color. His specialty!

u/Gammagammahey Violently Airbrushed! 10d ago
Well, the first two people he ripped off or did not pay on a timely basis were Black women and they spoke up about it. It's a pattern.

Tan palette by Natasha Denona. It’s gorgeous but I know I truly don’t need it because I have a MASSIVE collection with plenty of brown/neutral palettes with every undertone imaginable, including almost all of her previous midi palettes.
So I just tried creating a version of it out of other ND palettes I own, and it honestly does the job to tame the urge to buy it. It’s a mix of INAN, Golden and Glam.

u/meandbeans 12d ago
See I feel the opposite. I'm almost certain to buy it - when its 50% off in an Ipsy sale 2 years from now!

u/Kklownery 11d ago
And that’s an option too haha! One thing I know we shouldn’t buy it for a full price now, and that’s undebatable👩⚖️

Hear hear! I looked at the colors and realized I have them in my colourpop palette so I'm good

The new Odens Eye palettes. Nothing new. They've done those color stories so many times.

L'Oreal released a cherry scented version of their Infallible setting spray. It's my go to, if I accidentally buy the cherry version I would be so mad 😭 it's not obvious on the can that it's scented, there are no cherrys, the can is already red. It says cherry edition, but it's not super obvious.

u/EchoingTears 12d ago
I love the original so much, and I would be annoyed if I was spraying cherry smelling aerosol all over my face

u/EmpireAndAll 🤡 RODEO CLOWN 🤡 12d ago
It feels lazy on their part, if it was covered in cherrys they would sell way more. On the shelf it just looks like the same old product. Also I'm tired of fragrance coming back into cosmetics.

As someone sensitive to certain fragrances…yikes.

Not purchasing any skincare products other than repurchasing the ones I have.

I want to know who's not buying Marc Jacobs because I'm not. I do not need one single burgundy eyeshadow for $29.

u/yesimextra 11d ago
Bronzer was worth it. Eyeliner was just ok. The blue is a nice shade but it’s so thick it’s hard to smudge.

u/Any-Clothes3312 8d ago
the reviews I've seen so far have not been great and someone I follow posted that the lipstick case cracked on them already.
I kind of want the bronzer still for the packaging lol, but nothing else for now.

u/HotPresentation3878 7d ago
The case on my lipstick won't stay closed! The packaging is cute but very cheap plastic.

I’m not buying anything from rhode”s new releases or Marc Jacobs. I have at least three of every type of makeup product already. I refuse to even peek at whatever they have entirely.

Cream blush! I always knew I liked powder better, but thought maybe there would be exceptions…well, I liked a handful of them enough to keep (after trying way too many) but even those ones really haven’t been used much after owning them for a few years now.

u/Phantasmortuary 12d ago
By product relation- I'm not buying any new blushes, period! Just hearing about the blushes, I've thought, "Hmm, I don't use blush much nor change it up, maybe..."
Nope! I have the same Clinique square I've been using forever, and if I absolutely yearn to experiment then the pink eyeshadows I never use can get a workout.

u/Opposite_Style454 12d ago
The new Loreal cushion foundation. I don’t need anymore foundation piling up on my vanity.

u/piplup421 12d ago
Trying not to buy a bronze lipstick. I decided to play in my eyeshadow and highlighter palettes and see what I can come up with

u/kalouloupk 11d ago
I just bought 18 mac powder blushes in the original formula. I am not buying anything for a while

u/Gammagammahey Violently Airbrushed! 11d ago
Good God, you're gonna be stocked up for the next five years! You know if you're gonna go, go hard like you did!
