Totally, make it spooky 😌😂

tbh i was coming to comment this exact thing lmao

😂😂😂omg that's funny

So would I!

I need to throw my money at that.

Exactly!

I was hoping someone would post this! I fully stopped when I heard that!

The only person I've ever known to have a rent controlled apartment is Monica on Friends 🙃

I had a rent controlled apartment in NYC for 11 years, they exist but hardly anyone moves out. Typically past down generations.

@@The.Office.Alliance.and Carrie Bradshaw in sex and the city

Yea, to me it’s both infuriating and concerning. Imo it seems kind of xenophobia coded, like these are the same kind of people that wouldn’t tried to pronounce a name that is “too hard”

literally. i just started tretinoin and was just today told to use a natural remedy instead because “aT dOcTor’S tHeY GiVe yOu sYnThEtIcS” like come on

THIS FOR REALS. ads r always like “we’re so much better than everyone else cause we use ingredients you can find in ur freaking kitchen or whatever tf” but obv they would have to know how compounds are named and just how harmful or benign commonly used ingredients actually are. they fully know that theyre being INCREDIBLYY misleading. such clear fear mongering from companies that know better, its so irritating also not to mention it takes away from the efforts of brands that actually care abt using sustainable, safe ingredients

EXACTLY! and also a lot of things you CAN pronounce are exponentially more dangerous for you sometimes! i know i can pronounce hydrochloric acid and im not wanting that in my bubble bath 😭🤣😂

Lol fr I also hate that I kinda feed into this in a way when I try to explain my asthma though because I have to say I have “chemical sensitive asthma” basically so people will know that perfumes and cleaners make me immediately start to hack my lungs out & need an inhaler since it’s quicker to get my point across before someone screws my lungs with scented candle or body spray fumes lol

Also, south hemisphere exist 😂

they should just be honest, most of their customer base is millennial/older white women, they could just say they wanted to cater to them first... still tone deaf but at least more honest.

If you live in a place where the majority of the population have fair-very fair skin then you'd expect the majority of your profits to be generated by those people. Catering a product to an absolute minority of a minority is going to produce less money. Companies only care about your coins.

@@hairypoopoo185and thtat's fine. don't lie about it tho. just makes you look absolutely stupid. sure smoe ppl won't like the truth but in the long run it will work out and if you intend to actually cater to them later, it's just a net positive.

@@hairypoopoo185 ok but theyre an international brand in stores all over the world so ?

Yeah, we can eat or use anything once we’ve done organic chemistry and biochemistry 😊

I can easily pronounce arsenic but have a hard time with maracuja so should I put lead on my skin because its easier to say?

😂😂😂😂😂!!!!!!

I’m always so impressed by people who are so damn witty, coming up with these completely left field, yet SO DARN ACCURATE, words and descriptions. The way I almost spit out my drink from unexpected laughter when I read “cause you to levitate” 😂👌👏🏻 freakin brilliant

Hahahaha! 😂

😂😂😂 or explode!

And yet no one at Tarte has ever pronounced maracujá correctly! They could have just said passion fruit and stopped annoying every portuguese speaking person around 😂

I feel that! He is the Deep Dive Prince 👑 with the humility of the rest of us. ❤ He’s is such a breath of fresh air. We can tell the truth and be a good person at the same time..Like walking and chewing gum. Although many fall short of this. But Robert has never wavered in human kindness and compassion. And I so Love that about him. ❤

The one thing I like about fenty, they didn't just give importance to making sure they have shades for black people but everyone! So many brands think if they have a good shade range for black people they are good, but I am indian and a lot of brands still are very bad with making makeup for brown people, so bravo to fenty to catering to everyone! they deserve the popularity they have.

@@Jessie12N my skin tone runs a close competition with milk for whiteness. Lol it’s hard for me to find a foundation that isn’t too yellow, too orange, or too pink on me. I found a matching shade with Fenty’s foundation as well! So… yep!! They definitely did their homework on making inclusive skin tone shades that could appeal to many, many different people across all shade ranges.

@@that1chicbecca8same, in high school i had to mix my foundation with white eyeliner to match my skin as brands just didn’t advertise nor really make shades for really pale people

@@rainHellsing I remember mixing baby powder into my loose powder because the colors available were not light enough for me

​@@Jessie12N tbh, even as a white girl I've always struggled to find a foundation shade that wasn't too yellow. They are always yellow-tinted, at least to my eyes, and I have a lot of pink undertones (the ruder way of putting it is I have a ruddy complexion.) I found a concealer from NYX that is my skin tone exactly!.....when I'm a bit tanner 😭. It still looks so much like my undertones, but it's just sliiiiiiiightly off if I don't pull it all the way down my neck and ears.

Literally! How does that not set off the alarm bells for them

That was their idea of being inclusive lmao

That was my first thought lol

Exactly!! I was about to comment this exact thing. And it would a huge red flag for a company to give an intern that kind of power.

"We'll blame the person we don't pay to schedule the upload of what we already approved"

It is not unheard of for mid-level employees to be banned from commenting about their employer on social media. I cannot imagine a newbie being given more privilege than those several tiers higher.

My favorite exception to this is the official Rainbow Fish Twitter. Back when Twitter verifications meant something, the person running the account made it lose its verification by calling kids’ drawings of Rainbow Fish “shit”. The account is hilarious but extremely NSFW.

As someone who’s made social media content for a brand as an intern, any output I’ve had was checked by supervisor. So lmao to Tarte for blaming the intern (if there even was an intern 👀)

I love the botanical knowledge here. I'm here for it. Also the specificity about giant hogweed vs common hogweed, nice.

Most underrated comment on the internet, I’m calling it. 🏆 Also, just reading the word manchineel made me terrified it might somehow touch me through the screen.

This reminds me of an old tumblr text post lol Thanks for the trip down memory lane

Hello fellow pale person! This is extra ridiculous isn’t it?! Also, I don’t know about you, but as someone at one end of the spectrum of skin tones, I really judge a brand that doesn’t offer decent deeper shades too. It just makes them seem like they can’t be trusted!

As a POC you just read my mind like the arm model didn't even have a match frfr how lmao 😂

thisss I remember I got a sample of a super cute lipstick from tarte ages ago I think like 2016? It was called beach bum, sooo cute on me and they stopped selling it. Anyway...I liked the lipstick so I thought maybe I'll try their other stuff. I literally couldn't find a shade light enough for my pale ass that didn't look super yellow or red. I ended up buying a highlighter that was pretty nice -- but now I just use sephora brand highlighter and contour lol

Same! I have such a hard time finding a foundation light enough!

Their palest shades are sooo yellow on me! She’s a redhead herself but can’t make products that work on ginger skin tones 😢

The true counter to the problem of actually toxic compounds ending up where they do not belong was wider education on chemistry. Instead we got a cultural phobia movement. If you don't even understand what you're afraid of, you won't know enough to actually successfully identify and avoid it. (I'm talking about actually harmful chemicals like PFAs, to be extra clear)

You are the hero we need 🫶

Literally bit my tongue when a woman from whom I bought "beard balm" blithered on about "it has all NATURAL oils and no chemicals". I was dying to introduce her to that internet page about "dihydrogen monoxide".

@@semi-san1736XD That Penn & Teller BS skit was hilarious. Saddening but hilarious.

dude i’m a pharmacy tech and someone just wanted “all natural vitamins. i need to be able to pronounce it. if i can’t that must mean it’s bad” and i was like “well you have ergocalciferol in your cart” and she was like “oh! what’s that? i don’t want that” and i was just like hon it’s vitamin D2. it’s just our scientific name, if you can’t pronounce it that’s fine. it doesnt mean it’s bad i try to gentle educate people and i understand wanting vitamins and supplements. but boy is it tiring 😭

Genuinely.

also like…you’re putting something other than water on your face-you’re putting chemicals, because literally everything is chemicals-on your skin. it’s fine, but if you’re so obsessed with being “clean” don’t wear makeup at all. like we don’t want to be smearing arsenic on our faces, but obviously there are always going to be drawbacks to wearing makeup. the idea that the only good makeup is makeup with “natural” ingredients is silly. if we didn’t have man-made chemicals in our makeup how are we going to keep products stable. also, i wrote most of this comment before robert started explaining why “clean, ingredients you can pronounce” makeup is sort of silly so i was very pleased to hear how aligned our thoughts are lmao

@malavery5017 Oh I totally agree! My sunscreen will never be "clean" because I want it to work, and coconut oil does not 😂

This. Too often as well I see these "clean" brands with questionable green credentials. Like, if you're not cruelty-free you're just greenwashing. Also vegan doesn't neccesarily mean good for the environment. A lot of these brands their environmental talk ends at veganism, and that just doesn't fly with me.

@@malavery5017 Water is also a chemical :D

I’m stealing that!

@@bluecobaltsteph2689 ❤️

Wait that's actually such a good example

Beautiful. Flawless. Efficient. You have a way with words.

I love it😂

This woman has deluded herself that ‘colourful’ packaging somehow prevents the products from being boring 😂

If Fenty can do it, anyone can, you just have to give a crap 🤦🤦

Also, they had like a billion of basically the same pale shade. They had the money, they just didn't care.

I remember that also. That’s when I stopped using that this pathetic brand

I believe it

Ok, but it’s the exact same thing as race swapping by using Black people in tokenized roles. The community jumps EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. to defend these table scraps. Tokenization isn’t rep, companies use outrage marketing using Black bodies CONSTANTLY but don’t actually put the work in. The movies/shows are always trash, then the company turns around and further uses PoC, often BW to accuse accuse people launching valid criticism of how bad the show or movie is as “racists” which generates further resentment. All of which the PoC put into these tokenized roles have to deal with as they get bullied wildly. The companies know this will happen, they just treat PoC as disposable rage bait. All the while, zero accountability for how little rep for non-Eurocentric stories/cultures/histories/folklore there is not only in the media itself, but behind the camera. If the media wasn’t Eurocentric, then every role behind the camera wouldn’t be yt and that’s the purpose of tokenization. Maintaining the status quo. Like Charlemagne said, just bc racists hate it, don’t make it good. Makeup companies do this on purpose FOR the reaction to generate more views for less ad money. People get FOMO because most ppl are the medium range, then rush out to try it. If the community just didn’t fuck with any brands that have deliberate launches like this, just looked at it, said “not for me, ok, I’ll spend my money elsewhere” this type of rage/FOMO marketing would end. Instead, people jump everytime the crony capitalists say so.

😂😂😂

Ja, a lot of gen Z are more environemntally aware nowadays and I'm here for it. I was always deemed the weird one for not likeling this dumb MTV celebrity culture, I'm kinda glad that's dying a death. I'm surprised more makeup brands that market towards women aren't supporting charities that research things like breast cancer etc. Would be a good cause and would also strike a chord for their majority-female audiance.

You might feel that way, but seeing how popular “lavish lifestyle” influencers are…. It appears most people disagree with you.

Also, WTF is it with these gen z brands and their hatred of colour? beige is so ew.

Same! 😂😂😂

I'm Gen X and still don't get how those things are meant to make them look good!

I don't remember watching them as a teen? just heard of them when drama happend (like a dancing NikkieTutorials on the table or something) didn't make sense to me.

Same. It actually made me more disinterested in the brands because you can put all this money into trying to get social media advertising but you can’t put money towards decent colors, shade ranges, better formula, or packaging that feels more like the price point? You want $45 for some eyeshadow that works just as well as my $3 wet n wild, give me something for the additional $42 I’m paying.

Same! 😅

Exactly!

It makes me think, oh they’re liars!

100%, I agree. I think most companies are using 'clean' now because it's almost become a trend to say that these days.

It also means they do not use enough preservatives and the product will spoil within six months. No way you will use it up, even if it is the only product in a category that you own.

same!!

Oh really!!!???? That’s crazy!

Lol “clean” is able to be defined so many different ways. I also work at Sephora and it’s so annoying when customers come in and ask me about it or try to argue about clean brands. One lady tried to do that with me and Tarte the other day, not even realizing I DO NOT CARE! 😂

Oooh, which brands do make the cut? We don't have Sephora in my country.

Clean at Sephora is defined as: Brands formulated without phthalates, formaldehyde or formaldehyde releasers, oxybenzone and octinoxate, and more. I know some form of spf don’t hit their mark and iirc Kiehl’s literally had one product they had to reformulate to get their clean at Sephora sticker.

​@@BabyDuckNinjasit's really goofy, as a Sephora employee because of how the label only tells you limited information. Some of these clean brands definitely need parabens because of how quickly things expire/be a petri dish for mold growth.

Mold and arsenic are natural. So is puffer fish!

This. Hello Bello bug spray (for kids) gave me the CRAZIEST welt… my skin swelled up and once I showered and slathered on Benadryl gel, it went away. My skin isn’t even that sensitive 🫠

From a chemistry perspective, you would think “clean” ought to refer to lab synthesised lol. Little to no impurities, rigorously tested and quality-controlled. Natural substances are “dirty” as hell, there’s always a bunch of impurities in them unless you refine the ever loving fuck out of them and the amount of each active ingredient you get is different every time depending on the source, because of inherent variation in biology.

Robert my darling, I adored you for so many years, but…. I think, you have soooo much hair than ever. It scares me ❤️

For real! I got a severe and permanently scarring chemical burn from a “natural” brand of lidocaine cream for muscle pain, that left me in the ER in agony, but I can use the synthesized Icy Hot with no issues.

😮

Oh no, o hui is pretty bad

Oh 🍆 kind of snaps as a name tbh 😂

former lush employee solidarity,,, they had to change ‘shaved ice’ to ‘cool ice’ last year because people complained that it sounded too much like ‘shaved ass’

@@kgbkeyboard7697 what?!? that's ridiculous 😂😂

@@delusion5867 The Asian slur thing was ridiculous as was the tart thing. Tarts are also little tiny pies. When I make bread I retard yeast production in the dough, so I can delay baking. I love midget pickles. When I drop a lot of money on something I might say "cha-ching." Do we really need to make sure that a word has ever never been used in an offense way, before we can use it in a completely innocent way? Before we know it we won't have any word left.

​@@pippadawg7037the difference with cha-ching is that is onomatopoeic, not a racial slur. The food terms you used are not offensive in the context of how you used them. I don't understand your argument.

@@kgbkeyboard7697 For some reason I kept reading that as "shaved lice" which I think is worse.

Yea! That’s what I thought !!!! It makes no sense

So many companies have blamed "the intern" its starting to sound like some supernatural being 😂 Like its a bogeyman in corporate attire going from company to company to take over their SM to write horrible tweets. It wasn't us, it was The Intern!

It also doesn't make sense to have an intern running one of the most pivotal areas of your business. Social media is one of the major points of contact to your customers and potential customers. It shouldn't be an after thought handed off to someone working for little to no money. It should be a marketing professional in charge of it. At the very least, they should be managing the intern or entry-level marketing person.

I highly doubt the person who posted it is a whole RACIST lol, they probably simply didn’t know that was a slur. You act like their whole account would probably be klan meetings and swastikas

@@The.Office.Alliance. I’m DYING 😂. Someone call Hollywood, I’d watch the hell out of this movie

that sounds potentially dangerous 😵‍💫 there are multiple essential oils that can make you photosensitive and when not properly diluted (or used at all) can give you a gnarly sunburn. god i hate the fearmongering and pseudoscience that goes around in mlm circles

she will lose her mind knowing water is H2O

I once made a yogurt face mask with two drops of orange essential oil...I almost burnt my face off because my skin is sensitive and the oil is so strong. Just cause it smells nice and is "natural" doesn't mean it's harmless. I like what Robert said about using chemicals in balance and in ratio. These are beauty chemists whole jobs! Why am I trying to figure out pH levels in a kitchen sink with my unskilled methods lol. "Clean aka greenwashed" brands need to stop.

Not the MLM essential oils 😭

Yeah what's crazy is their shades still didn't work for me even though I'm fair af. Now I only use products supported by black influencers because why support a product that can't work for everyone? I love using products by black owned companies like sunscreen, I get a weird grey shade too even though I'm pale, but it's because I'm a very warm undertone person, so I use products that don't have that issue.

@@abigailpena5950 exactly. I learned that some brands Simply don't care, DAMN a black italian influencer i follow said that even Fenty beauty, that caters a lot towards black women, should add more shades for dark skinned black women

@@abigailpena5950 this is where I'm at. makeup is so pricey already. I'd rather buy something from a brand that anyone can buy from. It makes me sad that people with darker skin don't have the same access to makeup, so I want to support the brands making an effort and keep them going.

That’s exactly it. They made it visually clear who their “preferred customers” were

Facts! Me too!

Self depricating humor rocks, I'd buy from a brand called "Ugly B!tch" 😂

This comment kinda is low key shady though u literally saying something looks off with his skin and it’s uneven 😂 should try to reword it better I understand what u thought 💭u was saying but the way it’s worded just seems shady asf

​@@user-tn6tc1nm2jnot everything is a personal attack. Commenting on people's normalness being refreshing on a platform where the majority are fake seems kind imo

Same here. Most people can’t pronounce the life saving medications they are on. Long scientific nomenclature is also used to describe natural chemicals too. It is like brands do not realize that lye, lead, mercury, cyanide, arsenic, ricin, and anthrax are all naturally occurring and ALL OF THEM CAN KILL YOU.

i always eyeroll, "sound it out"...

Skill issue.

That’s such a great idea!

Lol, I knew her pitch sounded familiar, also just sets the vibe of the brand

They also treat nations outside of the US poorly (as many brands do). I wouldn't use MUFE they're not cf but they don't bother to get fair shades in. They have a sole N00, a R102 and then it jumps up to maybe 1 x 06 (forget undertone! Soz) and then wall to wall medium. We don't get the products you do, we don't get minis generally and they block us from ordering them in from sites like Cult Beauty. Tarte's mini-shape tape comes in 2 shades in Australia - that's it. Both medium. Covergirl with their 40 shade range? They sell 6 in Australia. Six. Lightest is L3. I think they have a tan shade. That's it. Tired of it.

(obviously its worse for darker tones in Australia. Like, it's 2023. Be better).

I also just found out that Anissa Beauty, a popular brush brand at the moment with the purple handles, tried to charge me $USD68 for shipping 2 brushes. That's nearly $AU100. They gave no other option. $100 or bust. Never seen it that bad. Disgraceful. The people I've told this won't stop using them.

The new Hourglass holiday palettes sold out within hours (except Snake), they don't bother to give us stock either, apparently.

Ireland has a population of mostly translucent white people. The bloody Irish brands make orange foundation. Fuck anyone who doesn’t use fake tan or are darker than that. No true neutrals and only the odd cool toned eyeshadow. What about blushes? I want cool toned blushes
