You had me at bee costumes.

Yeah but if I get a parasite or tape worm and drink laxative tea I can eat all I want and live the best life. And I don't look clammy, that's called a glow.

I think the major issue is marketing them as “girls’” and “boys’” costumes instead of just “kids’” costumes. Your absolutely right—when your kid is 3 there’s really no physical difference between genders that would affect their clothing, so there’s no reason that parents can’t just say, “Hey, do you want to be a…

Allow me to complain about girl’s costumes too... my five-year-old daughter absolutely loves the cartoon Teen Titans Go. It is her favorite show by far. She’s constantly playing Teen Titans when she’s outside running around. She’s always Starfire, who is her favorite, I’m always Robin and my wife is always Raven. She…

Yes. An ad for makeup that costs more for less product and tries to promote that as a benefit?

The Duggars are like heroin to TLC. It’s bad shit, but they can’t quit it.

I was thinking this too. I have my neutrals that are for daily and then more special makeup colors for weekends and nights out. And what self respecting makeup lover has only one shade of lipstick?

And seriously who wears makeup literally every single day? I wear it 5x a week, not every day. Definitely not on Sundays when I’m staying home with my foster kittens.

Eye re-wetting drops work even better than water. I am also cheap.

I always feel like a schmuck when, based on loving a mascara sample, I buy a whole tube, only to find that it functions nothing like the sample *and* dries out long before I can use it. Free mascara samples 4evs.

Makeup is like baking powder— they go on & on about how you have to throw it out after a strict amount of time, but NOBODY MAKES IT IN A SMALL ENOUGH PACKAGE SO THAT YOU CAN FUCKING USE IT ALL WITHIN THAT TIME. The makeup industry isn’t just planned obsolescence, it’s planned waste.

Shouldn’t this ‘article’ have a “sponsored by Stowaway” tag? I feel like I was tricked into reading an ad.

I realized the other day that the lipstick I have in my purse is at least seven years old. And my purse is a gross receptacle of child cast-offs like gum, old suckers, and snotty kleenex. That lipstick is literally a fucking biohazard, but I still use it. I figure it just strengthens my immune system.

“The average consumer owns almost 40 makeup products but only use and carries 5 of them daily.

She’s just advertising her brand.

I’ve beens stockpiling makeup since I left Sephora, and when my Sephora girls dump a new gratis bag on my lap, I don’t want a single one of those beautiful products to go to waste because I didn’t use them quickly enough. A bin in my fridge looks like a forgetful airline traveler passed through looking for a place to…

I like Millihelen a lot. And I’m always excited to see a new article go up. But honestly this just felt a little too mean to me. I get that parts of it were meant as jokes, but I think the execution here was off. I’m a woman who likes makeup and I’m a feminist. Those are not mutually exclusive.

Yeah, it’s like that “satire” Jez did on the maxi dress that no one thought was funny. I understand the angle but it’s not funny in theory nor in practice here. Not surprised to see Jia edited it. Madeleine’s makeup tutorials are funny, this isn’t.

I understand that the class was somewhat silly or very niche at the least, but I’m confused why it was written by someone who doesn’t know much about makeup and doesn’t want to. Like no, even I am not interested in applying five foundations to my face but, yes, you do have to use “glitter glue” to apply glitter.…

Is this an article making fun of people who like makeup, on a blog for people who like makeup? I’m confused.
