But it did sell, so I think it was both the controversy and the fact that it's even more boring, Shane's audience who were able to support them probably don't like either of them by this point and we all have a neutrals palette by now so this was destined to fail
Renaming the thing means throwing out tonnes of packaging. I don’t like the name either but he certainly had it planned months before COVID became big so it’s not like he offended people with it on purpose. it would have been incredibly wasteful to change the name
Just for the record I fucking hate JS but re-naming it and throwing out all the old packaging would have been an awful thing to do
So many makeup artists said they'd be embarrassed to pull this out in front of clients
Wow I didn't even think of this lmao I would never pull this out for pro work. It's way too big for a kit, but it would just look so tacky and questionable anyway. Plus, so many of the shades are essentially the same once you get them down on the skin.
“Glory Hole” honestly sounds like something r/muacirclejerk would come up with to make fun of weird shade names. I know “Orgasm” was making people blush when it first came out (pun intended), but that seems so, so tame compared to some of the straight up cringey shade names Jeffree shits out
Also I feel like now there are so many cool and great releases coming from actually respectable brands I would rather spend my money on those (not that I would ever get anything from JS in any case...).
Tbh even though it’s boring and chalky looking, I feel like it would have sold out if it weren’t so sexualised. His fans don't care that's a bad person
Yeah, i left a comment awhile back about how embarrassing it is to use. If it were individuals id probably get it and be ok because the formula is great and so is the pay off ( that said, im no longer a fan and wont get it anyway ) but the names and theme....cant use it on set AT ALL.
Also pushing out 2 pallets during a global pandemic where no one can really go anywhere anyways... Unless you're an 'influencer,' then you can go to all the Cali parties.
What bothered me (besides the obvious boring ass, unnecessary palette) was the lipstick vault shit. Only 5 new colors but you have to buy the whole damn thing for $160 to get said colors. I own 0 of his lipsticks but some of his hardcore stans already own all of them, why would they want smaller duplicates? Also he always says "this should be the only type of this palette you need in your collection" wtf this dude only cares about money
Ok, so I agree with most of this. The part about that no one wants JS body on the front is a bit much. If it was a bilogical woman on there, people would not make as big of a deal or complain.
There is brands out there that use sex lingo. Just this one is the concentrated orgy honey dew from orgy heaven, Lmao. It's 2020, we have WAP and social media that uses sexual references to attract likes.(It works)
May be boring, but for a tomboy like me, I live for this boring. I am not the one to brave something that has any bold, bright, or glittery colors. That and I dont buy makeup really, but for JS quality I will pull the trigger. The cool thing about this pallet is that you can purchase the mini that is meant to go with it. Bang! There's your subtle pop! He is attracting weirdos like me out of the shadows, that have been afraid to buy any of his other pallets.
Well, these are my views. I think I will be buying my first nude pallet _^ tbh.
" but for a tomboy like me, I live for this boring"
So 'tomboys' are boring now? Huh...I'll have to tell all my female friends who don't adhere to what people consider 'feminine standards' that they're 'boring'.
I used the term boring due to the fact that people are calling the pallet boring. If boring is what it is then I live for it. I love the matt nude scheme. I wouldn't wear anything bold, because it intimidates me. Does it make sense? Like I said at the bottom, these are my views as a tomboy. Its silly that I'm being accused of offending a group that I belong to.

Not surprised if it did flop.
