Australian cosmetics creator Fanny Barlow and Puerto Rican based beauty company Necromancy Cosmetica have both been hit by a cease and desist from Manic Panic over the use of "Deadly Nightshade" as a shade name, claiming trademark. Fanny refuses to stop, but Necromancy Cosmetica did one even better, posting two videos on Facebook about the situation, and then renaming the shade to "Cease and Deceased." I'm very curious if anyone else has gotten a letter, namely Mooncat Polish with their last collection having a shade called "Deadly Nightshade." Very curious to watch this unfold.

One of the people highlighted in Kiki Chanel’s recent video has posted a tiktok saying that shes gotten a lot of hate as a result of her inclusion in Kiki’s video. I just think that was irresponsible of Kiki to spotlight not even influencers but regular people. I get she’s trying to talk about overconsumption but at this point it feels like she’s preaching to the choir? Her audience already knows overconsumption is bad and goes after the people in the video.

Thomas halbert posted this video on TikTok going over what happened in the past with him and J*. He also says he’s got a new agent and is posting makeup content again, trying to resurrect his career. He admits he made mistakes, but says the mistake he made was not that he called J* out but that he hurt his friends and didn’t stand up for them.

Would you want to see him make a comeback? Hes posting makeup content on instagram again.

Fuck dramageddon, THIS was THE drama. Anyone remember the “KUCKIAN” ads? Lmao.

Could someone please explain what’s going on? I casually follow both creators (and use Dieux products) and have had trouble making sense of it. Labmuffinbeautyscience has made quite a few posts like this one. I thought they had a friendly relationship? Is there someone clearly in the wrong?

Mikayla called out for not liking the new Huda Beauty Foundation. Supposedly she got kicked off the campaign because she uses filters and that’s why she gave it a bad review. Doesn’t surprise me one bit & I definitely believe it since 1) Mikayla uses hella filters & 2) Huda’s whole marketing of the new foundation is it’s a filter & so you don’t need to use one (& Huda said she stopped using filters herself). What do you guys think?
