The lengths we'll go to make garbage ppl rich.

 

[ClosingADoor]

Money creates more money. And the rich get richer while the rest buys their crap. Guess its at least a decent product if people keep buying it.

I need Kris to manage my life and turn me into a living breathing brand.

 

[Khaos Kontrol]

Good for her. As a great poet once said:

"If the niggas hate then let 'em hate, Watch the money pile up"

If you get professional make up every day, had cosmetics perhaps and have a pretty flawless complexion while being in a popular tv show, the kids are going to believe it all and hope it works for them.

Why do people think that famous people have anything to do with a product their name is on?

Kylie Jenner has some creative involvement according to the source article.

“What I’ve been into is creating collections; that’s kinda my thing. I like getting in different moods. In the beginning I thought my brand had to be consistent and everything look the same and that was stressing me out. And that’s really not my personality. I like to have blue hair one day and blonde the next…and collections are where I kind of get to express myself. I change everything…I love to switch it up and come out with new products.”

Seasonal "collections" have been the "hot, new" trend in cosmetics for a while now with Jeffree Star Cosmetics being my first exposure to it.

With the rate with which you can now create, market, and sell a new color to people due to the advent of social media, it's an opportunity the bigger cosmetics houses missed the boat on. And I guess that was kind of sort of her grand business idea in a round about way.

Says who?

IIRC there was a thread here when the brand was launched... and the stuff on the lips was white. Or maybe not. Either way, it's likely using sex to be provocative like everything else, no biggie.

Not sex provocative, but she ripped it off from another makeup artist. They ended up settling and Kylie promoted the artist's work on social media.

No, it was after the X41 if anything. This is an oooooooold name.

That was the first under Lenovo right? My first was a x32. Still remember how absurd thing looked in its dock.

Thank God for E!

thank god for Ray J

 

[4 is a cutie]

I cannot stand that girl's caked on makeup look. Her lips literally look like cake decorations

feel the complete opposite

sugary sweet makeup look? Count me in

 

[sangreal]

I wouldn't expect gaf to understand, but expensive makeup is a big thing right now, as are the youtube stars promoting it\

Why do people think that famous people have anything to do with a product their name is on?

I used to be friends with someone who formulated makeup products for major brands, and for the celebrity labels the celeb would come in and give input. Obviously they are not involved in the day to day

Paris was in the spot light for a long time. Everyone drops off at some point.

Anyway it's good that they're making their own money, but my god did she have it all on a plate.

It's not as though Kylie started from nothing...

It makes for a good lesson on privilege

 

[friskykillface]

thank god for Ray J

Ray J the real MVP
If I were him I'd honestly gloat about it

I'm not even mad, let the Kardasians cook and make that $$$$$$$$$$$$
We all wish we were eaten that good

 

[Acorn]

Not like this. It's nuts.

edit: we are 13 seasons into the show.

13

That's my "I'm old" moment for tonight. Fucking 13!?

 

[Master Thespian]
