(The best place to see what people *really* think is the beautyboxes subReddit. Birchbox has been deleting comments on Facebook.)

Ooh, I’ve known for years that Jeffree Starr was a piece of shit. I saw someone mentioning something he did a couple of days ago and thought it was something old. But FRESH DIRT? I’m going to have to track down more info on that! His shitstorms are rivaled only by those of Doe Deere/Lime Crime.

Sephora doesn’t personalize boxes, so every single person received (or was supposed to receive, since there are always packing errors for at least a handful of people):

I forget how long I was on the waitlist (six months?), but I signed up as soon as the program was first announced. They were only doing it in a few markets at the time, and mine was not one of them. Then in April, I somehow found out (Reddit, maybe?) they were opening slots nationally, and I immediately signed up.…

I’ve never seen him live, but I have yet to hear a single person who has regretted seeing him live. Even people who aren’t fans. Even people who actively dislike his recorded stuff. In fact, they’re probably the ones who end up being the happiest that they went. They’re all converted by the end of the show. He’s…

*cough* I’ve never seen OitNB. I’m more of a Game of Thrones/Legends of Tomorrow/Supernatural/Penny Dreadful (ugh, still a season and a half behind) person. I feel so disconnected from pop culture whenever anyone mentions it!

Yay, Beauty Thread! This week’s nails are Espionage Cosmetics nail wraps, this time in Geek Icons (the white spots are shine from the lights I just noticed now):

His exact words were “I don’t give a fuck.”

It would be mine if he hadn’t defended Afrika Bambaata and essentially dismissed the latter’s molestation victims as irrelevant against the larger context of the history of hiphop. No. Just no.

Oh, man, I feel sorry for your tastebuds! They are clearly broken.

Creams! So neither, I guess. Stuff like Urban Decay Primer Potion and LA Splash (I think that’s the brand) glitter glue. He has some developmental issues, so he acts like he’s ten months old even though he’s almost five years old.

My former kitty El Duderino (not his real name) used to lick plastic bags, too! Someone told me that the reason cats lick certain plastic bags (the crinkly grocery ones) is because those bags are processed with FISH INNARDS, so your cat thinks the bag is actual food.

Holy crap, I had actually managed to repress that while trying to figure out what ours would be. I wish it was the fountain by the World Trade Center complex, whatever it’s actually called. Fountains are neat.

I have one whose favorite things to sneak-lick are eyeshadow primer, a particular brand of face oil, and my hair when it’s sweaty and disgusting. I kind of understand the hair thing because it’s a grooming action, but eyeshadow primer? Really?

MY EXACT REACTION. *Two* Samoa variants and no Tagalongs?

We have Girl Scout cookie ice cream year-round here, so this development doesn’t bother me aside from the fact that WHERE ARE TAGALONGS?

No, you should not. Those ungrateful bastards don’t appreciate or deserve it.

I feel like they are so not-quite-right with the suits in that slideshow to qualify. That might just be me, though.

TBH, the slideshow of the shoes is my absolute favorite part of this whole thing. “People really underestimate the versatility of a good boot,” says the woman who lives in Doc Martens year-round. Get them in a *color* instead of plain black, and they’re not just a wardrobe staple. They’re a *signature* staple. People…

This is our Waldo Moment. (Yes, another Black Mirror reference from me. Shocking, I know.)
