- Jeffree Star. Racism and sexism are unacceptable. I have no desire to help fund him.
- Lime Crime. I don't care if DD ever issued an apology. The ignorance to dress up as a Nazi is astounding. I don't think, also, consumers have any reason to trust the company.
- Morphe. Less for moral reasons, I simply have no idea what the quality of these shadows are. No clue. Reviewers I trust seem to like them, as well as bloggers that I do not. Mattes are suspect, and I don't think their ingredients are revolutionary. Part of me wants to be contrarian and push back against endless hype, I'll admit that. Don't like their marketing tactics.
- Too Faced. Once again, a brand that consumers have no reason to trust. Also, I literally thought "Clover" was a Sanrio like character that Too Faced was collaborating with. It's actually Jarrod's dog. I guess in my own mind I made the product seem more interesting than it was.
- Kylie Kardashian Kosmetics. Yes, choice of letters was intentional. This family is so very exploitative. I am not giving them my money.
I also have a list of brands that annoy me at times, and I wish they could do better:
- Urban Decay. Hate the fake "edge," and drug references. Love primer potion and my Pulp Fiction palette. Would NOT buy a Naked palette, though.
- Kat Von D. My Z-palette has a bunch of depotted singles of her eyeshadow that I bought discounted at TJ Maxx. Those are great. However, I think she's shady because of her engagement to a neo-nazi. I also think her "rant" of Makeup Revolution's dupe of Shade and Light was silly. Makeup is amazingly marked-up. She is not losing customers. I myself am never going to buy the Shade and Light palette, nor the Makeup Revolution one, but even if I don't have a horse in this race whether it's higher or lower end, companies reuse concepts all the time. I think MR was an easy target, certainly. The Sinners and Saints palette also looks disappointing.
- Hourglass. Eyeshadow palettes were laughable, and shiny powders are too expensive. Just seems boring.
So, those were a couple of my very informal thoughts. Hope it was informative!
