Jeffree Star Accuses Kylie Jenner of Overcharging For Her Lipstick: "They're Called ColourPop"



Last month, makeup artist/vlogger Jeffree Star slammed Kylie Jenner's new lip glosses, saying the wand was defective and that he was "SO disappointed" in her product. Kylie has since replaced the wand, sent out new ones to customers, and all seemed to be good in Kylie Cosmetics land. 
But then, beauty blogger Stephanie Nicole released a video this week with startling stats claiming Kylie Cosmetics' matte lipsticks (especially the new formula) are basically just ColourPop matte lipsticks with more expensive packaging. And according to an interview with Racked, Jeffreeagrees, and is echoing the same sentiments. 
When asked if he thinks that Kylie spent enough time researching the formulas for her lip products, Jeffree said no. "She found a lab that makes a $5 formula and they're called ColourPop," he added. "They gave her the same exact one with her name on it and charged $20 more. I'm bored."
When he says "they," he means the lab that Kylie uses to create her lip products, which has been widely reported to be the same as ColourPop. It's important to note, though, that many makeup companies use the same labs. She's also never denied it, and even posted a photo from the lab. 
Jeffree had no idea his initial comments about Kylie Cosmetics was going to blow up as much as it did, but it's obvious he doesn't regret it. "If the product didn't suck, I wouldn't have anything to say," he said. "I was just giving my honest review."
As someone who uses both Kylie's matte lipsticks AND ColourPop's, the formulas do seem different enough to me. Not HUGELY, but different. Still, you have the option to buy whichever lipstick your heart desires.

Jane the Virgin Season Finale Recap: The Wedding of Jane Gloriana Villanueva

Ivonne Coll as Alba, Gina Rodriquez as Jane, Andrea Navedo as Xo. If I could write this whole recap with emojis, there'd be several varieties of hearts, the running man, the dancing woman, and lots and lots of fires and heart-eyed faces. Those creepy dancing twin girls would also make an appearance. And there'd be a gun. My imaginary emoji recap is appealing because it's incredibly hard to come away from a blockbuster hour of television like "Chapter Forty-Four" and pull together coherent thoughts that aren't just "AHHH!" or "WHY would you get ICE for the DAMN CHAMPAGNE?!" or "OMG FACE OFF MASK!" or "Why isn't all of life just Jane and Rogelio doing that father/daughter dance forever?" But I'll give it a try. Jane the Virgin 's season finale is a narrative fireworks display, a shock-and-awe storytelling spectacular that short-circuits emotional processing centers with blazing confidence. It drops j...

Game of Thrones season 6, episode 9, Battle of the Bastards   CREDIT:  HBO   O h now, that was VERY impressive. And by “impressive” we mean gruelling, cathartic and upsetting. By the end of the Battle of the Bastards and the Jon Snow v Ramsay Bolton showdown over Winterfell   we felt as if we’d crawled through a freezing quagmire, climbed a wall of cadavers and gasped for breath as a dozen dying men sat on our faces .  Which, oddly enough, is exactly what befell Jon as the grumpy saviour negotiated the grandest mass battle Game of Thrones has yet mounted for our enjoyment/terror/disgust Tormund Giantsbane in Game of Thrones season 6, episode 9, Battle of the Bastards A  cast of hundreds, a budget of millions, flayed men roasting on an open fire – season four’s penultimate episode had it all. Yet spectacle took a backseat to gut-punch drama as poor, sweet Rickon met his untimely demise and questions were raise...
