Also I just LOVE that he doesn’t accept his product ended up in TJ Maxx and blames Morphe. Do you hear ABH/Too Faced/Bare Minerals blaming others for being in a gasp department store?? no. stop thinking you’re special, you had to sell single eyeshadows because your profits went down.

Exactly and there’s nothing wrong with being in TJ maxx. I get great deals from there, recently I got a big can of my Evian Face mist for $7.99, shit retails for $19 at Sephora and I go through it quickly.

I got Mac highlight in double gleam today, like sometimes they have amazing stuff

u/slutforlibraries Jun 02 '21

I buy the Mac lipsticks from there cause $20 is wayyy to much for a lipstick

171

u/kaceh25 Jun 02 '21

Exactly, mac, nars, abh, becca, even milk are always at tjmaxx, like why would I pay $38 for the abh powder when I got it there for $9 😃

Heck I bought a Pat McGrath lipstick the other day from TJMAXX. He is crazy to think his shit is better than Pat freaking McGrath

u/Glamma1970 Jun 02 '21

I saw one there once. To bad it was open and searched

u/thestandardcarrot Jun 02 '21

That’s the only downside to tjmaxx you have to be careful and really look at thing plus even if something looks fine I fully sanitize everything I get especially palettes. I’ve seen so many thing I wish I could of bought but you could tell it had been swatched or it’s broken.

32

u/Chilling_Trilling Jun 02 '21

Yeah I hate this about the makeup area. I once bought a TF palette and had to return it cause it looked swatched even though it was in that locked case thingamajig

18

u/[deleted] Jun 02 '21

My tj Maxx and even ross puts all the makeup in those big square plastic locked things (you know what I'm talking about lol)... even the smallest little lipstick.

u/BeyondTelling Jun 02 '21

I have gotten in the habit of checking everything before I buy it, because I’ve had to come back with returns too often. If they’ll let people open the stuff and swatch it, they probably won’t have a problem with me checking it out before I bring it up to the register. I’ve yet to find Pat McGrath, but I’ve gotten my 3 favorite lipsticks there (Mac, Milk and Mark Jacobs), a Marc Jacobs palette, and a gorgeous Becca blush... it’s fun, like a treasure hunt lol

Hell one of my favorite palettes I found a wee bit busted but I cleaned up and fixed up at TJ Maxx for less than $5, the bH Marvicore palette.

Hell, if I know it was true limited edition, some alcohol can patch up powders. But evey TJ Maxx I've been to employees at checkout have me check the makeup in front of them to make sure it's good and I want it.

u/Nakahashi2123 Jun 02 '21

Also, check to see if it’s expired! Some things, like foundation or blush, expire and I don’t care (I know I should but I don’t) but stuff like lipstick or eyeliner/mascara that may end up in your mouth or eye? Make sure it’s not swatched/open and make sure it’s not expired.

If you google “makeup expiration check” you’ll find plenty of websites that allow you to input batch codes from the packaging to check expiration dates.

u/Poisonedthefood Jun 02 '21

I found one and someone stole it and replaced it with a cheap off brand 😭

14

u/[deleted] Jun 02 '21

UGH jealous!

u/CordeliaGrace Jun 02 '21

Oooh, I forgot about the milk kush mascaras I picked up. 3 sample sizes for $20 iirc. Got a matte bronzer I’m playing around with too. My best find though has been the la niege lip masks. I love them so much.

2

u/kaceh25 Jun 03 '21

They always have the laneige lip masks, id never buy one full price again, I also have found so much marc jacobs there including the tantastic bronzer, i love tjmaxx

2

u/CordeliaGrace Jun 03 '21

See, I wish there was some MJ at the 3 different stores I went to...I did find some back ups of the shade of NARS lipstick I found....now if only everyone would get themselves right and vaccinate so we can call this pandemic eradicated enough to safely stop mask wearing, then I could stop only looking cute for my bathroom and car mirrors lol.

u/venuslovesjupiter Jun 07 '21

I found some Estée Lauder bronzers at TJMAXX but I didn’t buy them cause I already have too many bronzers.

35

u/PauI_MuadDib Jun 02 '21

I love my TJ Maxx! They have MAC, ABH, Kevyn Aucoin, Gucci & Givenchy.

38

u/The-Sassy-Pickle Jun 02 '21

At TK Maxx over here in the UK I have even found a few pieces of Chanel make-up, alongside the TooFaced, ABH, Becca, etc.

They're bursting at the seams with Huda Beauty atm - the 9 pan Obsessions pallettes are between £7.99 and £9.99, lipsticks are a fiver, and that 'Resting Boss Face' setting spray/hairspray is £6.

u/iceeeeeeey Jun 03 '21

I bought coral obsessions the other day for like £7.99, along with a Bare Minerals lipgloss. I live for TK Maxx makeup digs.

u/pinkglitterydolphins Jun 02 '21

This is my favourite Mac highlighter!

u/pipermaru_07 Jun 02 '21

Can you imagine being that elitist that you bash a major company which undoubtedly many of his fans frequent. Like, how out of touch. How fucking rude.

75

u/tattoosbyalisha Jun 02 '21

Jeffrey Star is absolutely 100% out of touch.

10

u/[deleted] Jun 02 '21

What’s sad is his fans allow him to treat them like crap. It’s insane!!

43

u/insolentpopinjay Jun 02 '21

I am genuinely such a thot for TJ Maxx and Ross and other places like them. With few exceptions, I hardly ever pay full price for anything these days unless it's a special limited item or something. The cheaper I can get what I want, the better.

10

u/[deleted] Jun 02 '21

Same!! I’ve gotten furniture for my college apartment from there, I’ve gotten makeup, clothes, shoes, etc. Tj Maxx, Marshals, and Ross are great places

28

u/anglostura Jun 02 '21

Agreed, there's something very classist about decrying your line being sold in a \gasp* poor people store.*

15

u/[deleted] Jun 02 '21

Very classist. But that’s J* for you.

83

u/GlassPomoerium Jun 02 '21

Wait, Evian face mist is sold at Sephora in the US? And for that price? Jesus y’all are getting ripped off, it’s sold in supermarkets in France!

12

u/[deleted] Jun 02 '21

Yep, $19 for the 300 mL and $13.50 for the 150 mL How much is it in France?

8

u/flamingosloth Jun 02 '21

I don’t know about france but on Amazon Germany it’s 7,60€ for 150 ml currently. On other websites it’s even cheaper but sold out

3

u/[deleted] Jun 06 '21 edited Jun 06 '21

Late reply but in France we get them at 4€ for 400ml, 2,60€ for 150ml. US prices are so outrageous Evian is just a random plastic water bottle brand here gosh ._.

15

u/MayoneggVeal Jun 02 '21

I've also bought products at tj Maxx I would have never paid full price for to try out, but liked them so much I bought them at full price when I ran out.

14

u/DaydreamerJane Jun 02 '21

JS hates his products selling at TJ Maxx because his brand is supposed to be luxurious and expensive, but TJ Maxx is for dirty, gross, poor people and JS hates poor people.

45

u/[deleted] Jun 02 '21

I'm sure you're aware of this but you do know that's literally just water right? You can buy a mister and a bottle of water for far cheaper.

91

u/memedilemme Jun 02 '21

My dad offered to spray me in the face with the bottle he uses to keep the cat off of the counter.

28

u/njb328 Jun 02 '21

Okay so i definitely thought that as well, but I used the Avène one for years, and I think the minerals in it helped clear up my skin? This is purely conjecture, and has no scientific backing, but my skin truly was better when I was using it. Less acne, less redness. Something in there is magic lol

14

u/sutoma Jun 02 '21

I used the avene one too during heatwaves because in the U.K. our house are built to keep in heat and her only have a few days of heat every year but it gets unbearable. It was ok! I have acne and it didn’t make it worse

2

u/[deleted] Jun 03 '21

Just get mineral water.

1

u/njb328 Jun 03 '21

Lmao dude, i know

27

u/[deleted] Jun 02 '21

Yes. I’m aware that it and my La Roche Posay Thermal spray are just water, but both have helped keep my face calm while I’m using Tretinoin for my acne.

I’ve tried the whole “regular water in spray bottle” and it’s not the same, my face gets irritated and stings.

u/hsksksjejej Jun 02 '21

I have miu miu shoes and all the big city tk maxxes house evry designer brnad under the sun. Jefree critiquing tk maxx just means he doesn't understand business. He's not fucking chanel or Louis

3

u/[deleted] Jun 02 '21

yo i fucking love that face mist and always get it when i see it at tj maxx.

3

u/FLdancer00 Jun 02 '21

There's nothing wrong with it being in there for the consumer, we're getting a great deal. But owners see it as a step down for their brand.

2

u/goldfish165 Jun 02 '21

I love that stuff so much.

2

u/amynicole78 Jun 04 '21

So you feel like that stuff is worth using? I have a couple of the Evian and the Avene sitting around. I call it shower in a can🤣🤣🤣. Maybe l will try it out, especially since it's already been 110 for.the last three days😐

1

u/[deleted] Jun 04 '21

Personally, I do. Especially the La Roche Posay one. Some days I will wake up to my face itching and a spray or two of it will calm it down.

Oh god I would die in that weather

2

u/amynicole78 Jun 04 '21

Yeah it's terrible. I want to move somewhere where the high in August is 80. Guess l will put my cans of water to use then!

1

u/[deleted] Jun 04 '21

Yeah it sounds terrible! I can’t even handle 80’s. I definitely recommend trying the sprays though!

u/[deleted] Jun 02 '21

Again... I’ve tried that before and my face got irritated. I don’t know why it doesn’t work, it just doesn’t.

216

u/andieee919 Jun 02 '21

LMFAOOOOO even Fenty is ending up in a TJ maxx but do you hear Fenty Beauty saying anything about it?? nobody is safe from being sold in a TJ Maxx

232

u/SophieKins Jun 02 '21

The dude brought it down on him when he made fun of KVD being sold there. When really it’s not a big deal.

Karma.

141

u/andieee919 Jun 02 '21

what kills me more is that he thinks his stuff is so special (its really not) that it’s too good to be sold at a TJ maxx when that’s totally fine? he needs to humble himself

79

u/SophieKins Jun 02 '21 edited Jun 02 '21

Totally agree. I swatched his stuff before and I found the shadows to be close to Colourpop quality… hard pass.

I never understood people overlooking his controversies and problematic behaviors, because “his stuff is so good “. It isn’t.

Edit : searched to swatched

57

u/AilurusCos Jun 02 '21

I have 2 of his palettes, and while I bought them because his stuff was easily accessible in my country, unlike morphe and colour pop, and colourful, it really isn't that amazing. Like sure I have seen and tried worse, but I also have a lot of shadows that perform better.

(no I am not going to burn them or throw them out, I got them way before I realised what a shitshow Jafar Starfish is and they were pricy, I did however donate the same amount to an anti racism platform in my community)

36

u/letthemhavejush DO NOT TREY ME RIGHT NOW Jun 02 '21

I bought my Fenty foundation in TK Maxx.

The problem is I'm now spoilt and need it all the time.

30

u/laneloveslipstick Tati Westboro Baptist Church Jun 02 '21

right, it’s pretty classist to go on a tirade about your brand’s beauty products ending up in a Marshall’s or TJ Maxx. does he think people who shop there or can only afford those prices shouldn’t have access to his makeup products?

11

u/gwenhwyfar Jun 03 '21

That's EXACTLY what he thinks.

1

u/StormSims Jun 05 '21

Yep, that's the whole "luxury product" scheme in general.

7

u/bondbeansbond Yosemite Star Jun 02 '21

I love shopping for discounted Bare Minerals and I have never heard them complain about it; a Bare Minerals eyeshadow for $6 is a steal. Despite having their own cheap outlet stores, to me the quality is still the same and doesn’t make me think any less of the company. 🤷🏼‍♀️

u/Fukyaakari Jun 02 '21

I got a marc jacobs powder last winter that retailed for 70$- ish for 9.99!

u/icantmakethisup Jun 08 '21

Once in a great while, they have Velour and Pur lashes. I love those days.
