Serious question. When you watch a Tiktok or a youTube video of your favorite influencer reviewing makeup or doing a tutorial how do you feel about cursing? I can’t say I don’t curse. I’ve been known to drop an f bomb here and there but it’s rarely done on my blog (if ever).
Lady Gaga’s makeup and beauty brand Haus Labs starting next month at sephora.com and Sephora. Hause Laboratories originally launched back in 2019 exclusively at Amazon and later on the brand’s website. It never really took off on Amazon, to be honest, and the products, in my experience, have all been pretty mediocre. I will say the one collection that did capture my eye was the Casa Gaga Collection. The Tutti Gel-Powder All Over Rouge was divine!
As of now amazon.com is the only place to score Haus Labs as the website has been cleared out and there’s now an advertising that the brand will be available at hauslabs.com globally (not at the moment though), ant at Sephora.com US and Canada plus select Sephora stores on June 9th.
As per Gaga’s recent Instagram post: “I’m extremely excited to announce that we are bringing brand-new, supercharged, clean artistry makeup to the world, through a place that has inspired me for years, Sephora!” “At Haus Labs, artistry is for everyone, and no one should have to damage their skin or sacrifice their principles and values to be self-expressive with high-performance makeup.”
I sure hope they rebrand and create something interesting as the brand has been a bit meh for me! Did you like it?
Lady Gaga’s Haus Labs will be sold at sephora.com starting June 9th.
Sephora Favorites Foundation Try On At Home is a current love for me. Available in eight shade selections this 14 shade sample set includes foundation samples from a variety of brands like Fenty, Too Faced, Rare Beauty, and many more. There are 14 total samples to try and these sets are available in eight shade selections that range from light to deep.
Best part? The set also includes a $10 voucher for a future full-size foundation purchase at Sephora which makes this set virtually free. Cool right?

Jerrod Blandino, co-founder of Too Faced Cosmetics and his husband, Jeremy Johnson are leaving the brand they founded in 1998 to “embark on new entrepreneurial projects and endeavors,” according to Estee Lauder. Too Faced was sold to Estee Lauder for 1.45 billion in 2016 and since that time both Jerrod and Jeremy have remained active with the brand. But like founders before them (Bobbi Brown, Jamie Kern Lima, Wende Zomnir, etc…) they stayed on for the customary five year period and are now quietly exiting as of July 1st, 2022.
Jerrod posted an Instagram video yesterday to say goodbye and wish his brand well. And Estee Lauder went ahead and announced that Tara Simon was promoted to the global brand president for Too Faced going forward.
Without a doubt I know we haven’t seen the last of Jerrod of Jeremy as many brand founders haven’t completely left the industry! For example, Wende Zomnir has since moved on from Urban Decay and launched a new brand called Caliray and more recently Bobbi Brown has launched Joans Road Beauty.
At 1.45 billion dollars, Too Faced was one of Estee Lauder’s biggest acquisitions and was purchased at a time when Too Faced was showing immense growth. Interestingly enough, the acquisition wasn’t a complete disaster if anything Too Faced improved after the purchase and product launches became more interesting. However, with Jerrod gone we might begin to see the decline of quality as Estee Lauder is legendary at destroying brands they purchase.
What do you think of Jerrod’s departure?
Do you think the quality of the brand will suffer going forward?
