Estee Lauder Over There Like, Ok, Time To Recoup That 1.45 Billion From Jerrod
Ok, Estee Lauder right to jail. Immediately. You’re pricing on Too Faced drops are illegal. We know you gotta get back some of that mega money you paid Jerrod but please, the people can’t be paying near $30 for lip balm! Stop it right now.
As you may know the new Too Faced Kissing Juicy Tint dropped for Summer 2025 in 7 shade selections. This new formula promises juicy shine, color, and hydration in a jelly lip oil formula. Ok, I’m game. I love a shiny lip product and this sound perfect for just that. However, Too Faced did just launch Too Faced Lip Injection Extreme Plumping Clicks (which were also grossly expensive) recently and I’m not quite sure we really need another shiny lip product this SOON. Some small bitchy part of me is like, wait, is this the same formula but different packaging? Ya know my brain went there immediately!
The bad news is these are priced pretty crazily at $26 bucks. I dunno if I’ll ever get over my sticker shock lately on some of the latest makeup launches! And sadly, with tariffs coming in strong, we’re in for a hell of a wild ride with prices going even higher. I think of Too Faced as more of a mid-range brand. It isn’t drugstore and it isn’t luxury but it sure as hell shouldn’t be pricing lipsticks, balms, or glosses at nearly $30. It isn’t so long since products like Too Faced Peach Kiss Moisture Matte Long Wear Lipstick and La Creme Lipstick which were all under $25 ($21 and $22 to be exact). And those had incredibly beautiful, heavier packaging compared to the cheaper plastic that Estee Lauder has been using lately.
I realize I’m getting older and what I liked five or ten years isn’t going to be the same as right now. That being said, I do think I’m within the Too Faced demographic or at least I was until recently releases. They’ve just started to feel like they are trying to target tweens or teens at around 14 to 16 years old. I guess, you gotta get your money where you gotta get your money but imagine just completely disregarding your current fanbase for an entirely new one? It’s so odd to me.
So, no, obviously Too Faced Kissing Juicy Tints prob won’t be in my bag! On the upside, HSN is legendary for doing a lot of sales or sets on Too Faced’s latest launches so there is a good chance we’ll be able to snag these Too Faced Kissing Juicy Tint at a two for one price at some point the way the Too Faced Quickie Queen Eye Shadow Stick Set which is $27 for two full-size shadows and free shipping!
What do you think of these? Worth the $26 bucks?
