Kylie Jenner: Put on BLAST for Ridiculously Expensive Brush Set
Here’s some free advice for Kylie Jenner:
You may want to hurry up and announce your pregnancy to the world.
It will serve as a distraction to another announcement you recently made, one that is not being met with positive reviews from your fans.
Late this week, Jenner’s shockingly successful makeup business alerted the public to a brand new 16-piece brush set that is now on sale.
This Kylie Cosmetic kit – which features a number of sleek-looking brushes – is the third product in the Silver Series set from the popular brand… and is being offered for $ 360.
Yes, $ 360. For a bunch of brushes.
In response to this hilarious/ridiculous figure, fashion blog publisher and fans jumped on social to express their disappointment over the price, prompting Kylie to respond with a tweet of her own on Saturday.
It reads:
“I have developed for you guys the most amazing luxury brushes ever. I am very excited! Real brushes don’t compare to synthetic brushes.
“Different performance/quality/everything. I am 100% down to do an entire synthetic line in the future which will ultimately be cheaper.”
She added:
“I always fight for the lowest price on all my products. Here are some other real brush lines for reference…”
And she’s right: there’s one set in the above-referenced collection that retails for $ 650.
Jenner went on to acknowledge the criticism, telling followers:
“I hear you guys, love you guys and truly just want the best.”
Whatever Kylie is doing at her company, it’s clearly working.
A somewhat recent report valued Kylie Cosmetics at $ 1 billion, which is just… it’s totally and completely and utterly insane.
What started as a simple lip gloss kit has blossomed, in just a couple of years, into a global empire.
Still, that doesn’t mean everyone was satisfied with Kylie’s explanation or the price of these brushes.
“Thanks but I’ll buy food with that money instead,” wrote one Internet user, while another added:
“Sorry girl but that’s just waaaay to expensive! There are so many other brands that make quality brushes for affordable prices.”
Others said they were worried about with whether or not the brushes were cruelty-free and asked what type of hair was used in the brushes.
This is serious business, apparently, this makeup stuff.
Women do NOT mess around when it comes to their products.
And despite its financial success, Kylie Cosmetics has not received high grades from the Better Business Bureau.
“All I’m saying is if you wanna charge luxury prices, provide luxury quality,” wrote one critic.
It’s hard to argue with that point, isn’t it?

Dove Apologizes for Most Ridiculously Racist Ad Ever
Dove is here to say its sorry.
The beauty company came under heavy fire late last week after for posting a Facebook ad in which a “dirty” African-American woman uses a bottle of Dove body wash to transform into a “clean” white woman.
This is very strongly the implication, at least.
In a third image from the ad, the white woman removes her shirt (and skin, we guess) to become an Asian woman.
As you might imagine, more than a small handful of Internet users took issue with this advertisement and its theme.
“This is gross. You think people of color can just wash away their melanin and become white? What were you going for, exactly? Your creative director should be fired,” wrote Angela Reinders on Facebook.
As screen shots of the ad made their way around social media, other confused and angry individuals chimed in.
“Are you joining the Trump administration now? WTF is that ad even supposed to mean?” Sonia Gupta Tweeted at the company.
On Saturday, Dove – which is owned by Dutch-British transnational consumer goods company Unilever – issued an apology on its Twitter account for the advertisement.
The mea culpa reads as follows:
“An image we recently posted on Facebook missed the mark in representing women of color thoughtfully. We deeply regret the offense it caused.”
The company shared a similar message on Facebook:
“Dove is committed to representing the beauty of diversity. In an image we posted this week, we missed the mark in thoughtfully representing women of color and we deeply regret the offense that it has caused.
“The feedback that has been shared is important to us and we’ll use it to guide us in the future.
It’s always confounding when this sort of thing happens because such an ad must have been cleared by a lot of people.
It’s not as if this can be written off by a single bone-headed decision.
This is not the first time Dove has received major race-related backlash for a questionable ad, either.
In 2011, a controversial poster depicted three women standing in front of a wall designated in “before” and “after.”
The “before” woman had dark skin… the woman in between had medium-toned skin … and the woman in front of the “after” photograph was white.
In this case, Dove sought to clarify, not apologize.
“All three women are intended to demonstrate the ‘after’ product benefit. We do not condone any activity or imagery that intentionally insults any audience,” a company statement read at the time.
But the damage has maybe already been done.
“Okay, Dove… One racist ad makes you suspect. Two racist ads makes you kinda guilty,” wrote a Twitter user yesterday, citing each of these ads from the last few years.
Others, meanwhile, remained aghast at the brand’s original intention with last week’s ad, as one person wondered:
“What exactly were yall going for?
“What was the mark . . . I mean anyone with eyes can see how offensive this is. Not one person on your staff objected to this? Wow. Will not be buying your products anymore.”
What do you think of this scandal?
Does Dove deserve all the criticism it is receiving? Will you continue to use their products?
Or is this much ado over not very much?

21 Ridiculously Short Celebrity Marriages: Who Lasted 55 Whole Hours?
From 55 hours to just under a year or two, here are 21 of the shortest celebrity marriages in the history of Hollywood.
These were basically over before the ink was dry on the prenup.
1. Britney Spears and Kevin Federline
Britney Spears and Kevin Federline made it only two years. Which was by FAR the longer of her two marriages, but that’s not saying a whole lot.
2. Britney Spears and Jason Alexander
Britney Spears and Jason Alexander’s quickie wedding in Las Vegas lasted a mere 55 hours before it was annulled.
3. GG and Shalom
Shahs of Sunset stars GG and Shalom made it a whole five weeks in early 2017. Guess that’s what happens when you marry on a lark (and are clearly not on stable ground relationship-wise).
4. Kris Humphries and Kim Kardashian
A mere 72 days after saying “I do,” Kris Humphries and Kim Kardashian said “I don’t anymore.” Their divorce took 581 DAYS!
5. Jeremy Renner, Sonni Pacheco
Jeremy Renner and Sonni Pacheco made it a whole 10 months. That’s almost a year!
6. Jennifer Esposito and Bradley Cooper
Jennifer Esposito was married to Bradley Cooper for 4 months before she filed for divorce declaring the marriage “wasn’t right.”
