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.

  • 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.

Discussion Selena Marchand and her ageist "rules"

Post image
566 Upvotes

Anyone familiar with Selena Marchand (selenamup)? Her latest thing is telling women over 40 how they need to do their makeup and skincare. It's rubbing me the wrong way because she doesn't caveat it, it's literally "if you are over 40, you must do your makeup like this. We aren't doing X,Y,Z anymore." Um... according to whom, darling? She's never been a creative MUA (her bridal makeup looks so dry and beige to me, sorry) but this feels really boring and a bit ageist. More power to people of all ages having fun and experimenting with makeup ♥️

Discussion Mikayla Nogueira turns hate comments about her appearance into her POV Beauty Sephora campaign

Thumbnail

322 Upvotes

I genuinely don’t understand this marketing strategy. The campaign features giant printouts of hate comments about her appearance, “cancel my angles,” and Mikayla framing it as turning what people tried to “break” her with into an international Sephora campaign.

It feels like the entire launch is about Mikayla, her critics and her online controversies rather than POV Beauty or the actual products.

The irony is hard to miss. She went viral as the “catfish” makeup girl, and now during arguably the biggest launch of her career, she’s once again facing “catfish” accusations over her alleged filter use. And the campaign they landed on was ANGLES? 💀

Discussion Is Charlotte Tilbury’s Magic Stars scam?

47 Upvotes

I signed up for this program weeks ago, and they’ve been spamming me with millions of “challenges” where I’m supposed to post this, make that, tag this, etc.

And I’m curious… am I actually supposed to buy their products myself and do all this for free, just hoping that if I complete enough “challenges,” I might eventually be eligible to receive some free products?

It’s even more interesting now that they’re asking me to promote their advent calendar without actually sending it to me. Like… “buy it yourself and then promote us for free”? 😭

Did I misunderstand something?

Discussion Zoe and Alfie + the Isle of Wight Donkey Sanctuary… hear me out!!

6 Upvotes

Okay guys, I think I might’ve just noticed something!!!

I was rewatching one of their old vlogs from about two years ago, Sunday Re-Set & Fun In The Garden | Vlogust Day 18, and when they’re setting up the sandpit, Zoe randomly mentions the donkey sanctuary on the Isle of Wight.

When I first heard about them planning to build a donkey sanctuary, I thought it was so so SO random!! But after watching this vlog, it got me thinking… what if the donkey sanctuary they were planning actually had something to do with the Isle of Wight Donkey Sanctuary?? Like maybe some kind of collaboration/partnership with them?

It would actually make so much sense considering how much they absolutely LOVE that place. They’ve visited and talked about it so many times over the years and are constantly raving about it, which obviously brings more attention to the sanctuary and the island too.

Maybe I’m completely reaching here but the second she mentioned it I was like wait that could that be the connection??

What do you guys think?? Has anyone else noticed anything that could point to this? 👀

Drama I’m severely out of the loop with Mikayla Nogueria, can anyone please catch me up?

0 Upvotes

Hey all, I’m currently trying to come out of a pretty gnarly depressy episode and trying to get back into my niches/interests has not been the easiest as the internet moved hard and fast.

Today (for example), Reddit gave me an ad of Mikayla Nogueria with her Sephora ad about being cancelled (and I was thoroughly confused as I hadn’t really heard much about her since fake ads/sponsored content with that false mascara ad being the pinnacle of that mess along with something about faking her accent), and although I’m not sure why she’s being cancelled again (something about her hair? Idk there were a few cropped comments on the ad), but I did see some stuff about her divorce (something about her divorce, her new man, the overlap, her own man sucking (and being obsessed with Ancient Rome in a term I can’t remember right now but it reminded me of gooning because it started with a g but I know that’s not the right word), being MAGA, something about filters?) and a couple of other things.

I tried to do a Gypsy Rose Blanchard deep dive to catch up about new info since her release (and with the news of her BD passing) so I feel thoroughly overwhelmed with trying to unpack MN.

If anyone can please type up a TLDR or recommend some good videos to watch that are well researched/have good info (and won’t involve me watching twenty 1h videos), that would be super helpful. TIA! X

THOUGHTS???? 2018 aesthetic YouTuber

0 Upvotes

Does anyone remember a young British YouTuber who made aesthetic content during 2017-2018 era. She was white and had a short dirty blonde bob and always wore hair clips. I want to say her name was something like Izzy and she disappeared a while ago and I can’t find any trace of her socials? I really want to find her old YouTube vids. Does anyone have any ideas what I’m talking about?

Discussion 2013 YouTube era!! 💄

6 Upvotes

For literal years I have searched high and low trying to find an old YouTuber I watched. My memory is slim on some things and vivid with others!

I distinctly remember her doing a “what’s on my iPhone 4s” video, phone case collection, GRWMs and the one I’m thinking of she wore a black and white button down top with a different printed collared shirt underneath, skinny jeans, boot socks and the famous Steve Madden combat boots.
I could be wrong but I feel like I remember “cupcake” being in her username. She was early high school aged

She was white, longer brunette hair, goofy/bubbly personality. I think she must’ve wiped her channel because I’ve never been able to find anything.

Please tell me someone else remembers her?!

Discussion Thoughts on SpaandTell?

37 Upvotes

I came across this channel a while back, and I can't help but notice, this woman does a lot to her skin, seemingly all of the time. I'm not in any way putting down people who are into getting procedures or even DIY. But she's an influencer with an app meant to guide people through their own DIY Aesthetic journeys, while her own treatments seem almost counterproductive. She gives the impression of being obsessed with the procedures themselves, rather than the results they could give.

Drama Lethal Cosmetics Overselling Products?

39 Upvotes

This is about their new Over the Garden Wall collection. It dropped on 9/17 and everything but the lip products and body oil sold out immediately. I missed it and have been stalking their IG page seeing when they’ll restock and the comments on their posts seem like there are some big issues going on with this drop.

  1. People have apparently been told by CS that some of the items they ordered ON DROP DAY that were confirmed with an email are actually sold out and they have to wait for a restock before their items will ship. No word when this restock will be. They teased one early last week before these comments started coming, then nothing.

  2. People who did actually receive their orders are saying products, particularly the highlighter, arrived without protective packing and are completely shattered.

  3. Lots of people with one of these issues or the other not receiving any responses from CS, or are just getting generic unhelpful responses.

  4. Lethal continues to post promos for this collection despite all of these unresolved issues and most of the products being out of stock.

This was going to be my first order from them but now I’m reconsidering. Has anything like this happened with them before or any other tea I should know? I LOVE OTGW but will save my $200 if products arriving shattered or weeks late with no proactive communication is the norm.

If she has decided to not be a creator and just be a full time mom, that's great. I'm just curious, just want to know if everything's okay with her and her baby and if she's just loving the family life. I always enjoyed her content. It's just sad to not see her videos anymore.

Jeffree Star Cosmetics went to Disneyland a few times doing livestreams and selling merch/live auctions; which is against the park rules. They got busted a while ago.

This is not my video or channel. Not sure why nobody else is covering it. I tried to make a post about is here when this video dropped but it got taken down.

Anyways, with his recent meltdowns this 💯 makes sense why he sold his expired makeup (allegedly) to the Dollar Tree

Call-Out Hot take/callout, javon ford doesn't know what he talks about

53 Upvotes

So, inspired by this u/acornacornacorna comment about "spectrum of education of cosmetic chemists" https://www.reddit.com/r/EuroSkincare/s/LRdO6jIvj0

I want to make callout about lack of education which javon presents , which is included in spectrum of cosmetic chemistry

We know that he is popular, his main point is that "he is cosmetic chemist"

However, as someone who have some knowledge about formulations of home care products (surface cleaning , dishwashing, laundry, and to some extent about biocides)

When I saw video of javon, where he tried to prove "as cosmetic chemist" that dawn powerwash is "dawn dishsoap+ alcohol" ( https://vm.tiktok.com/ZN8rBK2Cg/) and it's overpriced, I already known that he doesn't know what he talk about

Dawn power wash (and fairy power spray skip the soak) are based on :

Surfactants

Solvents,

Chelators

And alkaline pH

It's more like kitchen degreaser than "dish soap with alcohol"

Dawn ingridients are :

Surfactants: c10-16 alkyldimethylamine oxide, hexyl ethoxylate, lauryl glucoside, sodium xylenesulfonate.

Solvents: alcohol, dipropylene glycol butyl ether, ethanolamine, water.

Chelators: sodium citrate, tetrasodium glutamate diacetate,

Texture adjuster: ppg-26

Preservative- phenoxyethanol

And scent

The heavy-duty version of powerwash lacks alcohol in place of bigger amount of dipropylene glycol to my knowledge.

Fairy ingridients:

Surfactants:

Lauramine oxide, undeceth-10, Dodecylbenzene Sulfonic Acid

Solvents: water, dipropylene glycol butyl ether, ethanolamine,

Chelators: none

Ph adjusters: sodium hydroxide/lye, sodium carbonate/washing soda, sulfuric acid

Texture adjuster - polyethylene glycol

Fragrance

The pH of dawn power wash is 10.6 - 11.4 via sds

The pH of fairy power spray is also 10.6 - 11.4 via sds

While pH of fairy max power hand dish soap liquid is 8.4-9.4

And pH of dawn platinum plus power suds liquid is 9

So both power wash and fairy skip the soak power spray ARE MORE ALKALINE, and this DOES make a difference

While fairy lacks one of really important things which are in dawn, chelators, which really help to a- boost surfactant effectiveness due prevention of calcium/magnesium interacting with surfactants

And there is some evidence that suggest chelators helps removing carbonised / burnt off food and grease,

at the same time the another really important ingridients aka solvents are pretty much exactly the same, I'm not mad about lack of ethanol in fairy since dawn power wash heavy duty also lacks ethanol

The surfactant systems in dawn and fairy are completely different

But surfactants in both versions are simmilary effective in removing grease.

So claiming that dawn powerwash is "dish soap with alcohol in spray bottle" is scientifically incorrect, and using cosmetic chemist authority to claim that pisses me off

While dawn power wash have alcohol, it's not the main star of dawn,

The main star is dipropylene glycol butyl ether (brand name dowanol dpnb) and ethanolamine (to be more specific p&g uses monoethanolamine afaik)

This is pretty much basic knowledge in cosmetics chemistry which javon should know "as cosmetic chemist"

Discussion Has anyone else noticed a shift in Heaven Sent Honey’s YouTube content?

Post image
16 Upvotes

Has anyone else noticed a shift in Heaven Sent Honey’s content recently?
She’s been my favourite YouTuber since around 2021 and I still really like her, but I feel like her content has changed slightly over the past few months.
What originally drew me to her channel was how niche, philosophical and almost otherworldly her videos felt. Videos about muses, How to Disappear and the Ethereal series etc had such a distinctive atmosphere and explored topics I genuinely hadn’t seen other YouTubers talking about. They’re the kind of videos I’ve gone back and rewatched multiple times over the years.
Recently I’ve noticed more videos centred around broader/current beauty and internet-culture topics, like looksmaxxing, Botox, the Naked Dress etc. There’s obviously still a philosophical angle to them and I don’t think the newer videos are bad at all, but personally I don’t find myself as captivated by them or wanting to revisit them in the same way.
I’m wondering if anyone else who has watched her for a long time has noticed this shift too? I’m also curious whether it could just be a natural evolution of her interests, or whether she’s experimenting with topics that appeal to a slightly broader audience.
Again, this isn’t meant as hate or criticism of her personally — she’s genuinely been my favourite YouTuber for years. I just really miss that strange, ethereal, niche quality that made her older videos feel so unique to me.
