Estee Lauder Over There Like, Ok, Time To Recoup That 1.45 Billion From Jerrod

I receive a small commission if you shop through my link.

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?

Love Shack Fancy Forever In Love Eau De Parfum with Swarovski Crystals Is Only $1000

I receive a small commission if you shop through my link.

Welcome to a world where a carton of eggs will set you back $17.99 and a Love Shack Fancy Forever In Love Eau De Parfum with Swarovski Crystals is only a $1000.

A huge trend on Tiktok right now is bedazzling everything. Influecners are gifted everything from Vaseline to Glow Recipe Moisturizer decked out in gems that rival the K-Tel BeDazzler from the 80s which was apparently the height of gem fashion statements. I’m actually surprised they haven’t started selling these yet. I mean, I can’t say I wouldn’t buy a sparkly encrusted jar of vaseline. I’m that girl! Shrug.

What I won’t drop me on is a Love Shack Fancy Forever In Love Eau De Parfum Swarovski Crystal bottle for $1000 bucks. Dude..dude…dudeeeeeeee…come on! First off, it likely isn’t refillable or if it is it’ll be messy to refill. It’s embellished with over 1,500 tiny pink Swarovski Crystals. Why do I feel like I can buy a bottle of Love Shack Fancy and send it off to some Etsy seller who can do this for me for hundreds of dollars less? I get they’re Swarovski Crystals but still…!

My girly side thinks this is beautiful but my logical side is like, “No, effing way am I dropping a thousand bucks on this. I gotta better things to do with my money! Sorry Love Shack Fancy! Love you, just don’t love this release.

Would you splurge on this?

Hey You Guys Remember That One Time at Band Camp When We All Looked at Foot Peels Together

I receive a small commission if you shop through my link.

This week as a form of self-care and pampering I did a Baby Foot Mask, a face mask, and went on Reddit to act like a smart ass with the rest of my crazies over there (I LIVE for you people! LIVE!). The self care part was the foot and face mask the smart ass-ery was like a reward for having to sit still for an hour with a foot mask on. Last time I used these I tried walking around the house doing things and ended up slipping on the wood floor and nearly busting a hip. Pretty sure I’m of an age now where busting a hip is possible. Naa, I’m not that old now yet but I added that in for the plot.

Back in 2009, before I was old enough to bust a hip, I did this awesome post about foot peels before they were even popular here in the US. There was this great website for Beauty Foot. As I recall, it was a Japanese foot mask I think and the results were pretty damn awesome. I mean, the peeling action was amazing.

Let’s have an instant reply of those results:

Beauty Foot Treatment 2

Beauty Foot Treatment 1

I have to say, in all my years using these masks never in my life have I had results like this. I have pretty dry skin but honestly, this level of Olive Garden Cheese Grater peeling is fascinating. If you by some chance like staring at your Biore Nose Strip after using it well, you’re my people, and you’re loving seeing these amazing foot peels. These people lost the entire bottom portion of their foot with these epic peels like HOW!? I get some peeling but not the epic level of peeling like these pics. I sort of wish I did because I’m a picker and a peeler. My worst habit is peeling my cuticles and the games afoot if I cut or scratch myself as I’ll pick the scab. I apologize for my failing in life with this bad habit but I’m working on it! If you’ve been curious about trying a foot mask out now is a good time for it as sandal season is here.

But on with the good stuff…! Torriden DIVE IN Modeling Pack! Love this! I’m an avid sheet mask girlie and use them quite a few times a week. This particular one came across my feed on Tiktok as a rec and lately, I’m pretty served about buying anything recommended by Tiktokers but this was a Tiktoker I trusted and she was spot on with this. This is a powder mask which mix with water. Amazon only has the “refill” mask pack which means it doesn’t come with the mixing powder or spatula but it’s not a big deal as you can use your own skincare or moisturizer spatula and a glass bowl or paper bowl if you have one the mix this. It’s a thicker creamy when applies but sets to jelly-like texture that feels refreshingly cooling. It leaves skin soft, smooth, and hydrated. I go a little wild and after removing this I’ll follow up with a sheet mask as well for extra moisture.

If you need a few items to add to your self care kit these two are worth a haul! What beauty picks do you use to pamper yourself?

If Your Life Isn’t Eventful Enough Already Here’s a KFC Fried Chicken Flavored Toothpaste To Make It Even More Complicated

Listen, there’s a lot of sh&t happening right now and life is pretty complicated. What we don’t need is to complicate things even further so I do not appreciate KFC releasing a Fried Chicken Flavored Toothpaste. Stop this right now. Those 11 herbs and spices need to stay in the chicken and not make an appearance in my damn toothpaste! Nothing is sacred anymore. Sheesh.

Yes, it’s still April and no this isn’t a joke. KFC Fried Chicken Flavored Toothpaste is a limited-edition launch inspired by KFC’s chicken and offers a unique experience while brushing your tooth. Lucky you, it’s sold out but if you’re wanting a toothpaste that tastes like a hot, crispy piece of chicken maybe they’ll restock it. HiSmile recently dropped the LE flavor for $13 and they even have a matching red toothbrush to go along with it if you’re feeling like an extra big fan of KFC.

I mean, the good news is this is a calorie-free formula. The bad news is your breath might smell like chicken all day. I guess there are worst things to worry about….!

KFC Fried Chicken Flavored Toothpaste may be sold out but HiSmile has a number of weird and crazy flavors from Tiramisu to Watermelon.

Enjoy the crazy! I know I am.
