Due to some technical malfunction the audio recorded for our makeup brands episode has vanished.

Bands we would not recommend!
- Jeffree Star
- Multiple offense racist, sexist, and manipulation
- Drug use with large young audience X
- I also want to take a moment to say that whoever is Jeffree Star’s PR manager, they are amazing. Everything I tried looking up sources for, he has a product related to that. So instead of finding “proof” of his drug use, instead I find his lipstick “Drug Lord” and his smoking accessories. Same with “problematic” and “tea”
- Too Faced
- Kat Von D
- Anti-Semitic
- Anti-vaccine
- Tarte
