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.

Google Doodle Honors Mathematician-Juggler Claude Shannon

He transformed digital computing and electronic communication Claude Shannon, nicknamed “the father of information theory” for his work on digital computing and electronic communication, was also ajuggling unicyclist who would have turned 100 on Saturday. To mark his birthday and his achievements, Saturday’s Google Doodle honored Shannon, depicting him juggling a set of ones and zeroes, the numbers he used to transform computing after learning they could be used to represent words, pictures, videos and more. While he was a research assistant at MIT, Shannon drew from Boolean algebra to pioneer digital computing, using the value of “1” for circuits turned on, and the value of “0” for circuits that were off. Before Shannon moved ...

Jill Stein on 11 key issues: Where does Green Party presidential candidate stand?

Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein presents herself as a viable alternative this year to the two major-party candidates, who have the lowest approval ratings of any presidential nominees in the past seven decades. Stein, 66, of Lexington, Mass., is making her second bid for president on the Green Party ballot line. The Harvard-educated doctor received almost 500,000 votes for president in 2012, which she boasts is still the record for most votes received by a woman candidate for president in the general election. Stein says she became involved in politics more than a decade ago because she didn't like the country's direction, and had become alarmed about children becoming ill from environmental pollution and unhealthy foods they are provided. She and running mate Ajamu Baraka support a "Green New Deal" under which the government would end dependence on fossil fuels, fight climate change and create millions of new green-energy jobs.

Ten Things I Wish I Knew When I Started 'Deus Ex: Mankind Divided'

Photo: Eidos Deus Ex: Mankind Divided  is finally out today, an early embargo revealing pretty solid reviews, including my own 8/10 good-not-great score. I love the series, but I just wanted the sequel to evolve a little more than it did. With that said, what it does carry over from  Human Revolution  is welcome, and I enjoyed my time with the game overall. As always, when I get to play a game this early, I try to impart wisdom I’ve learned for those who are just starting out. This is a game where you have to make a lot of fundamental choices about both the story and which upgrade path you pick, so it doesn’t hurt to get some early guidance. There’s a lot to say, but I’ve narrowed it down to a handful of points for your consumption. Here are the ten things I wish I knew when I started  Deus Ex: Mankind Divided : 1. There Are At Least Two Ways To Do Almost Anything Deus Ex: Mankind Divided , like its predecessor, is a game about choice. ...
