Today’s question is: “Is there a brand you stopped buying / supporting?”
Hi Darlings, so today’s post is going to be another: Mimi & Julia Ask.
Where we are going to ask you a beauty related question and we want to read your answers so make sure to leave a comment.
If you have a question for next week you are free to ask and I’ll make sure include it in another post and to give you credit for it.
Is there a brand you stopped buying / supporting?
Mimi: There are a few brands that I don’t find exciting anymore for the most part but if they’d come out with interesting products I’d buy without problem (Urban Decay, Becca, Rimmel London).
Other than that, I tend to be very forgiving of people/brands, I try not to care about influencers vs brands fight because, at the end of the day, they didn’t do anything to me and if they make good makeup that’s all I care about.
That being said, with all of what happened recently, I’ve stopped using Jeffree Star Cosmetics. You know I love his liquid lipsticks but what he did was so disgusting I couldn’t be blind.
His explanation video was horrible and hypocritical, mentioning the BLM movement (here you can donate and sign petitions) only to distract people from what he was saying but without any good intentions behind it.
I was already tired of his behaviour and I haven’t watched a video in months but that video was a breaking point for me, I decided to unfollow him and after this post, I won’t mention him again.
Julia: Kiko because I used to buy when I was young, now I realized that their products aren’t good and they focus more on the packaging rather than on the quality of them.
NOW IT’S YOUR TURN: LEAVE US A COMMENT SO WE CAN START A CONVERSATION.

I haven’t really stopped using products because of anything particular it’s more that as I get older I’m able to purchase better products.
Oh yeah that totally makes sense
It made me SO happy to read that you no longer buy Jeffree Star’s products. I think I mentioned before that I don’t support him because he’s a racist.
While he apologised for what he said in the past what he has done recently proved that his apologies were fake and a PR move. I decided to give him the benefit of the doubt the first time I’m not dumb and I won’t trust him again
I’m actually not sure I have a brand that I’ve stopped supporting – since many of the brands that I do not purchase from, I never purchased from to begin with!
Maybe Simple is the only brand I won’t ever buy from again. They’re the brand that made the demon face wash that triggered my skin this summer. 2nd time one of their products made me react like this!
😂😂😂Do you actually do researches on brands before buying product? I’m genuinely curious
lol sometimes 🙈🙈🙈

Thanks informing me more about Jeffery Star. I didn’t know that about him.
Thank you for reading!
I stopped using bare minerals, not sure what happened but it started drying out my skin really bad after about a year of using it. I’m like you…. I don’t really pay attention to the drama because they don’t effect me as a person.
Yes, exactly. I’ve been through some skin changes throughout the years too and some foundations I used to love don’t work for me anymore so I get it!
Okay so I had NO idea about the Jeffree Star / BLM drama, but I just looked it up and now I’m headed down the rabbit hole!
Ahahahah good luck with that! I’ve always supported him but that disgusted me too much!
Jeffree Star too – he’s just crossed too many lines for me!
Exactly! It was ok for a while but I have my limits
Definitely Jeffree Star, I used to love him back in the day and he has good product ideas when it comes to palettes but he’s such a trashy human being and with so many makeup brands to choose from lately, it was easy to drop him 😂
Agree!
many due to CF status, but most recently, Wet n Wild and Physician’s Formula 🙁
shame because I really liked their products too and really hyped up WnW on IG LOL
