Have y’all noticed lately LITERALLY ALL her story posts are ads or sponsorships or tags. Like I get it she needs to make money like all influencers but come on stop being so boring.

What are the influencers trying to influence you to buy, and why are you just not gonna buy it?  

Talk us all out of buying the one product you want the most right now!

I know people have asked this before but there has never been a solid answer about what happened to her. I loved her vids so much back in the day and thought she was so stunning and chill. I do remember she got married and I checked her husbands ig and he’s hella hella religious. Not saying he’s controlling her or anything but I was more just looking for if he posted her but I didn’t see anything… all I saw is that him saying he has kids but idk why did she completely disappear

I believe I've made 2 total purchases from the brand in its 1st year. I remember the idea behind it being limited edition collections and seasonal scents for different moods etc, hence the name.

I know at one point they made a YT video addressing the updated changes to their core collection and whatever other complaints made about the brand.

I haven't kept up much with it since maybe 2yrs ago atp, but tapped back in once I seen they launched perfumes... only to see that that's ALL they offered and was very confused.

I wanted to purchase a candle recently on Sephora and noticed that they only sell the perfumes now which confused me but I went on the brand's website directly and expected to see the variation of products i was used to, only to be disappointed by the limited options. It seemed the only way to access candles from them atp was by subscribing to their membership called "Self Care Club" which i wasn't gonna do cause I just wanted to purchase one candle or even a fun collection.

All this to say is idk if in the time between when I last made a purchase to now if they mentioned the brand making this huge pivot away from candles because I REEEEALLLLYYY hope not since I enjoyed the initial branding.

Lmk if you have any insight!!

Does anyone follow mod.young? I use to love her content (still do). She had cystic acne and always did a lovely job showing looks and helping me build my confidence with acne. I’m so suspicious that she may be divorced or separated and I need to talk to someone about it!

Any guesses? Bronzer palette? Eyeshadow?

Instead of buying and reviewing every product from a collection, maybe just only focusing on a few products from that collection. The only reason I’m saying this is because I keep seeing certain influencers with massive hauls from one collection and it just seems like a waste, especially with its large pointless packaging.

It’s been about a year since I’ve ordered from her but they used to ship from the US.

I love her so much but why is she still saying ko -sauce in stead of ko-sahs

Or is every other influencer saying it wrong. Genuinely curious but I still get a good laugh every time she says it.😂❤️

Thanks to the recent community poll and feedback section, we are now allowing one day of the week where memes can be posted as stand alone content! We have chosen Monday so your week can start off (hopefully) better!

​

No stand alone self promo, please!

In her recent "10 life changing beauty hacks and products". She said use your face serums on your lips, ummm wtf?

Her caption notes that she has moved to instagram, looking for like-minded people to join her there. She says “BYE BYE TIKTOK” but then says she’s still going to be around so she’s not really leaving.

Personally I think she can’t handle the criticism of the general internet population and is creating an echo chamber to parrot back how great she thinks she is and never question her techniques or knowledge.

Are you a BG? If so, this is your opportunity to introduce yourself!

Please post one parent comment only, with as much or as little detail as you like, and include links.

You're welcome to comment as much as you like, here and elsewhere on /r/BeautyGuruChatter, but please don't spam the sub with links to your social media. Outside of this weekly post, Rule 7 still stands. If you wish to post links to your own content, please do so at /r/BeautyInfluencers, where self-promotion is welcome (please read the sidebar of that sub before posting.)

BG's - if you're comfortable doing so, please feel free to include information about your overall aesthetic and facial features - we often have people looking for bg's with specific features or attributes. This is optional - share or don't share as much or as little info as you like.

• Where you're from - there are people from all over the world who visit this sub, and it's nice for folks to be able to see BG's from their own part of the world, because you have access to the same makeup they do.
• Skin tone - do you have warm olive skin, or are you cool-toned and fair? For reference , you could include your favorite foundation shade, but the most recognizable info for the community might be your closest MAC number, like NW45 or NC25 (here's a guide from [swatchaholic](http://the-swatchaholic.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/mac\_surfbaby\_skint\_hl.jpg) that might help.
• If you're into skincare, and also, what your skin type is (dry, oily, mature, acne-prone, etc)
• Eye color, eye shape and lid space - do you have deep set or hooded eyes, or epicanthic folds, or do you wear glasses
• What kind of makeup do you do most - do you do mostly full glam but also some SFX makeup, or do you focus on no-makeup-makeup, or do you do a full range of looks
• Whether you do tutorials without false lashes
• What kind of makeup do you feature - do you do Sephora and drugstore hauls, do you use indie brands, or have a focus on cruelty free, or if you like to buy from B.O.M.B.

I am a bit confused, particularly about Christina (i think that’s her name, the one always on camera). I was under the impression that she was a makeup artist and worked at a counter, but i believe she has also said that she has helped several brands develop products.

Maybe i made that last part out, but I’m pretty sure she said so. What are her credits? Cause i’m sure a makeup artist can absolutely leap to corporate consultant, but i also thought you needed experience in makeup production or even deep knowledge about the market to do so. So i guess i’m a bit confused about how that worked out.

I’m trying to find a song that all the OG beauty gurus (Kandee Johnson, Cassandra Bankson, etc) used in their videos back in 2012/2013. The song was pop, and I think the band was a sister-duo (one was blonde, one was brunette & the MV was filmed on a boat). I think the song had something to do with mermaids lol

Does anyone have any ideas? I think it was used in a July 4th makeup tutorial but I can’t remember the band name. (please lmk if this type of post isn’t allowed!)

Just curious on peoples opinions on why it was this specific product that has caused such controvesy and been the catalyst for wider discussion around what justifies the price for a product?

Is it because people didn't expect this price point from the Patrick Ta brand specifically ? Was it just a perfect storm ? Would the discussion be different if the brands wasn't so popular with the influencer community? is his target demographic ( on social media atleast) just much more savvy consumers?

So we have another very aggressive post yet again from an influencer hyping up the Patrick TA eyeshadows…… I mean this just sounds like if you’re poor and can’t afford it sorry I don’t know why the messaging is coming across like this like he should seriously look at the information that he sent his influencers on what to say. This is turning more people off of these eyeshadows.

So Patrick released a TikTok video explaining the pricing of his new eyeshadow duo, including comparison to similar products on the market. It definitely changed my mind on the product; he basically said the pearls are not mixed with any other medium so it’s pure pearl pigment. I haven’t tried them as there is no Sephora where I live, so I’m wondering if anyone has and perhaps compared to similar products? I’m thinking of the Fenty beauty diamond bomb highlighters and the one from Makeup By Mario. What about y’all? Has your mind changed about this?

i really like watching Rose and Ben’s daily stories where she applies a face in real time and talks through it. it feels like cozy facetime and i think i enjoy her talking through steps more than yapping about her personal life, industry drama, etc.

i would love recommendations for creators with similar long-form application videos without a ton of bells and whistles. i never got into YT beauty so i don’t know any good creators.

thank you!

If I see one more factor ad I might explode. When did they become so popular? I feel like I’ve seen multiple in the last week. Any one else rather see hello fresh?😂😅

TLDR; shilling of factor microwave meals has blown up in the mid size creator sphere and I’m exhausted on seeing them all.

I haven’t bought from Lisa in a long while but am an emerald and had early access and stocked up on the stuff I had been missing. I couldn’t add on refills as I simply didn’t see where I would do so or how, never mind the fact that folks said they got a discount when buying refills alongside the purchase of a rouge case lipstick…since access was password protected I wasn’t able to navigate the site in the usual way without having to navigate back to the email link… I’m just a bit annoyed. What do we think. Was I seriously missing something? Did you have an easy time adding on refills during the early access emeralds order day?

Hi, everyone. I wanted to ask, could you please list out whichever creators film the most cinematic grwm and stuff? I watched one video of one creator, she said it took her months to film each video so she thanked that sponsor for that. She would film a montage of her morning, very aesthetic shots and then get into her makeup routine. I don't remember her name. I've literally watched only one video of her, ages ago. Does anyone have any clue?
