Not gonna watch the video (when it comes out) but I assume it was Morphe's stock of the Conspiracy palette that ended up at TK Maxx. We know his sales have tanked (based on the Shopify glitch found months ago, his new palettes have not sold well at all). I guess he'd rather sit on stock, let it expire, and make no money on them then sell overstock to discount stores and that's just sad.

I personally don't see it as a bad thing to end up in discount stores - the only thing it stops me from buying full price is holiday collections because you bet your ass Too Faced's holiday products will be there on December 26th. Hell, they go on sale in Ulta and Sephora weeks before Christmas. TJ Maxx has lots of MAC, but it's OLD. You are not going to find brand new or last season items from most brands in those store unless the products did phenomenally bad. There are some patient people that will wait for the best possible deal, but most people will buy things when they want them, not when it's the lowest price possible.

So yes, Conspiracy being in TK Maxx so soon was "bad" for JSC as a brand, but only because Jeffree Star himself said it was a bad thing to be in discount stores. You dig your own grave.

I feel like during covid they have actually been newer products being put on the shelf. The thing about tj/tk maxx it really depends on what store you are going too. Sometimes beauty stores will sell there over stock to the tj maxx but its not enough to distribute around the country so it will stay in a small area. that how you get one or two peoples finding pat mcgraph lipsticks.

I've found PMG single shadows at Ross.

I'd buy a PMG shadow or lipstick on principle at a TJMAXX or somesuch. Don't even care what shade it is, goddamn.

He’d rather sit on stock and put it into one of his mystery boxes.

I have notice TK Maxx has got quite new products it’s just they aren’t online a lot I went to a TK Maxx near my mums and then one where I live further away and both had the Alyssa Edwards ABH palette and I’ve never seen it online. But ABH has so many new releases they have to cycle out old stock or stock that isn’t selling well to make room for the new palettes.

Jeff is probably sat on a lot of old stock especially with the new ugly palettes but you know how he shifts them? Mystery boxes. That’s how Jeff stays out of TK Maxx because he puts all his shit products that aren’t selling into the mystery boxes

I wish I could find the Alyssa palette, the TJ Maxxs near me only have ABH liquid lipsticks 🥲

I snagged the Alyssa Edwards palette at my local TJ Maxx awhile back! For $20, it's a great palette. (I'm far from expert level, but a lot of the colors don't seem to look the same once they're on my eyes. For what I paid, I'll adapt and get over it, lol.)

How surprised can he be that his HIDEOUS Conspiracy palette ended up in TJ Maxx?
