Speaker 1: We got to talk about Amazon. There are makeup brands.
Speaker 1: Makeup Forever is a brand. They have these little squares
Speaker 1: of makeup that you stack together and it's a whole.
Speaker 1: It's all your contour and concealer. It's really goodferent makeup
Speaker 1: artists like those little squares of every shade of foundation
Speaker 1: and concealer and contour and then.
Speaker 2: Every shade of blush.
Speaker 1: By the way, everything does everything, which is why that
Speaker 1: same palette you could conceal it under your eyes and foundation.
Speaker 1: It's like such a scam. Everything being marketed as everything
Speaker 1: else is such a fucking scam.
Speaker 2: You don't know.
Speaker 1: But anyway you can get knockoff of those exact compacts,
Speaker 1: Like the formula seems the same. I had my makeup
Speaker 1: artists try it for like eighty nine dollars and the
Speaker 1: real one is like forty five dollars. It's like full knockoff.
Speaker 1: Makeup Forever, full knockoff, Like it's a little deeper packaging
Speaker 1: on the door lipboil, but it's like it's it's might
Speaker 1: as well be called like fior nipoil, Like it's the
Speaker 1: same look they've just it's blatant. So it's getting crazy
Speaker 1: where it's just such blatant copying, Like it's like this
Speaker 1: is popular, so who's running that at Amazon? Like someone's
Speaker 1: saying someone's saying, like this shit's selling, So let's do
Speaker 1: the knockoffs. It's dh gate, except it doesn't say the
Speaker 1: fake logo on it. I'd almost more admire, Like, let
Speaker 1: me buy the makeup forever, cheap shit anyway, let me
Speaker 1: have the right name on it. We're cheating, anyway, Let's
Speaker 1: cheat all the way. If you're gonna fucking cheat, let's
Speaker 1: just cheat. Let's just do it. So it's crazy and
Speaker 1: it's funny because in every other world, knockoffs are looked,
Speaker 1: are frowned upon, Like people write up all the time
Speaker 1: about people that have fake burkins and fake this, and
Speaker 1: that person's wearing a fake but fake tits fake whatever.
Speaker 1: No one cares if you it's fake makeup, like fake up,
Speaker 1: that's a good name, fake up. No one cares. It's insane.
Speaker 1: It's no one cares that. Every everybody's knocking off everything.
Speaker 1: But like you're putting the makeup on your face, in
Speaker 1: your skin, it's counterfeit makeup.
Speaker 2: It's crazy.
Speaker 1: Do you know how influenced you're being? Do you know
Speaker 1: that every time myself. Who's a marketing expert, who knows
Speaker 1: the insides and outside of this beauty business, who understands it.
Speaker 1: Who I know who's getting paid. I know what they're
Speaker 1: getting paid. I know they're wearing filters. I know what
Speaker 1: the deal looked like. I know it all right. Even
Speaker 1: with that, when they say something, I believe it way
Speaker 1: more than TV commercials.
Speaker 2: I know all this.
Speaker 1: I'm doing this, I get it. I've dug deep. I'm
Speaker 1: watching TikTok for half an hour. I'm by it now.
Speaker 1: Three things Apple pay not even a question because I'm
Speaker 1: so it's such a strong force. Think about how our
Speaker 1: kids have a fucking chance.
Speaker 2: They don't.
Speaker 1: How insane, Like you're watching a commercial on TV. You
Speaker 1: know it's a commercial, and you don't really totally buy it,
Speaker 1: Like you might think it's entertaining, but you're not definitely
Speaker 1: buying the thing because of it, because they're not playing
Speaker 1: into your heartstrings. They're not like in your house with
Speaker 1: a garlic wafting and you can smell it and like
Speaker 1: you're like I need that pasta right now, or like
Speaker 1: the makeup. They're so close to you, they're snatching their face,
Speaker 1: they're getting the glow. They look so much younger, they
Speaker 1: look amazing. You want to look like that, buy it now.
Speaker 2: It's crazy.
Speaker 1: I almost bought a fold up treadmill today, a fold
Speaker 1: up treadmill. How much of a piece of shit is
Speaker 1: that they're going to be for forty dollars Like, it's
Speaker 1: probably not even doesn't exist. You're gonna pay it cause
Speaker 1: you're in. You should not buy things on Instagram and TikTok.
Speaker 2: You know that, right.
Speaker 1: I've had my own content stolen on Instagram and TikTok.
Speaker 1: I have watched my own video or I was talking
Speaker 1: about something, and I've watched them a tribute that same
Speaker 1: video of me in a cream sweater to another brand
Speaker 1: and direct people to buy that other sweater. Someone else
Speaker 1: said something about something, they take it out of context
Speaker 1: and they'll sell an entirely new product that you've never
Speaker 1: seen in your life. It's happened to me most couple
Speaker 1: of times, and it's happened to other people. Alex are
Speaker 1: all reached out to me about it. It is so
Speaker 1: fucking rampant and so like. I still buy the shit,
Speaker 1: and I already know what are our tweens doing. My
Speaker 1: daughter thinks she needs. It doesn't matter what it is.
Speaker 1: If it's Charlotte Tilbury and it's literally black and purple blush,
Speaker 1: she wants it because it's in the Charlotte Tilbury pack
Speaker 1: because someone told.
Speaker 2: Her it was the lead.
Speaker 1: I'm like, it's the same shit as the other packaging,
Speaker 1: and whatever's going on at the drug store is the same.
Speaker 1: It's same, it's all made in the same place. It's
Speaker 1: the same thing that like five people can make the
Speaker 1: same robe or cashmere sweater and put a different label
Speaker 1: on it and you'll pay more. Like, let's pretend you're
Speaker 1: Jessica Simpson, or you're Jennifer Lopez or your Beyonce or
Speaker 1: anybody their name is on something. You think that they
Speaker 1: had something to do with that product. You really think
Speaker 1: they did, no matter what, because their name is on
Speaker 1: it and it's a good brand, it must be good.
Speaker 1: You know what it means. They did a licensing deal.
Speaker 1: Their agent, their manager, their lawyer did a deal with
Speaker 1: some company that makes garments. They make garments for a
Speaker 1: bunch of different people. They make the same garments for
Speaker 1: multiple people, or maybe it's in a different color, or
Speaker 1: maybe it has different buttons. They make garments.
Speaker 2: They don't.
Speaker 1: They're not Jennifer Lopez. She's not breathing her fairy dust
Speaker 1: into it. They make mass garments fast, and then they
Speaker 1: have another room where they have all the labels, and
Speaker 1: one says Bethany, and one says Jessica, and one says
Speaker 1: Mickey Mouse and Marilyn Monroe, and the list goes on
Speaker 1: and on. And there are companies that buy these dying brands,
Speaker 1: or buy brands because they just want to use the
Speaker 1: intellectual property, like Muhammad Ali or Marilyn Monroe. And those
Speaker 1: are licensing companies, and they go because they want to
Speaker 1: buy just the right to use the name to make
Speaker 1: a one black and white little label that sits in
Speaker 1: a little label room next to a sewing machine, and
Speaker 1: it gets sewn onto garments that you then buy because
Speaker 1: for some reason you think it has something to do
Speaker 1: with Marilyn Monroe or j Lo or Beyonce or Justin
Speaker 1: Bieber or Bethany Frankel or anyone. So makeup is no
Speaker 1: fucking different. There are makeup factories. They don't care if
Speaker 1: it's Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck or Taylor Swift. It's a
Speaker 1: makeup factory. They've got colors, they've got creams, they've got pigments,
Speaker 1: they've got powders, they've got machines, they've got glass. You
Speaker 1: can have some input into what glass you want. But
Speaker 1: often you'll see the same packaging used for different brands
Speaker 1: because they're made in the same place. I'll give you
Speaker 1: an example. Kim for skkn she has a little round
Speaker 1: it looks almost like that EO slip bomb around under
Speaker 1: I cream and another brand, I think it's called like
Speaker 1: Lavana or Lavaya or something. Just sent me Day and
Speaker 1: Night creams they're in that little thing is in different colors,
Speaker 1: but it's the same mold. If you go in to
Speaker 1: make a new beauty brand, they're not going to manufacture
Speaker 1: a new mold for you. That's very expensive. Unless you're
Speaker 1: like Madonna doing a new makeup brand or Gaga or something.
Speaker 1: You could have a new packaging. Selena did that great,
Speaker 1: but most of it is stock molds. Same thing with furniture.
Speaker 1: You can go online, you could go to article, you
Speaker 1: could go to All Modern, and you could go to
Speaker 1: Home Depot and you could see the exact same teak
Speaker 1: wood couch, all within twenty to thirty dollars within with
Speaker 1: all more than twenty to thirty dollars of each other,
Speaker 1: but then if one seems way cheaper, they fuck you
Speaker 1: on the shipping, so it's gonna end up getting to
Speaker 1: you cheap. It's the same couch, three different companies, just
Speaker 1: marketing that it's theirs.
Speaker 2: So just know the shit.
Speaker 1: So when my daughter's obsessed with the Charlotte Tilbury stuff
Speaker 1: and I get it, like I want it too because
Speaker 1: I'm being influenced, also, I get it. Just they have
Speaker 1: to know. And it's hard to explain to her that
Speaker 1: they have to know because their friends want the thing.
Speaker 1: The thing it's not.
Speaker 2: Is it Nike?
Speaker 1: If that swish had like a little chip off of it,
Speaker 1: they don't want it. It's not Nike, But it's just
Speaker 1: what is it? It's one little piece of leather less of
Speaker 1: a Nike swish, like it's a brand. Branding is powerful.
Speaker 1: Labels are powerful, Logos are powerful. You have to like
Speaker 1: really really think about it. And yes, there are different
Speaker 1: products and some things are good and some things are bad.
Speaker 1: But ninety percent of the shit I see in this
Speaker 1: makeup and skincare and beauty industry is complete bullshit. If
Speaker 1: you want to see what a what a housewife looks
Speaker 1: like without makeup on. Take a skincare and get the
Speaker 1: little get the little under I cream, little actual product
Speaker 1: pod out of its packaging. It's like a tiny, little
Speaker 1: pill container. It's tiny. They'll charge three hundred dollars for
Speaker 1: an I cream because it's in this big bulky glass
Speaker 1: or interesting packaging that like stacks, and it feels good
Speaker 1: and it makes you feel good, and then you take
Speaker 1: out that little shitty like an heavy on cap full
Speaker 1: of cream and you feel like a loser, like you
Speaker 1: you just it just looks like you saw somebody without
Speaker 1: makeup on, and you're like, wow, this is what you
Speaker 1: fucking look like. It is such We are so scammed.
Speaker 1: And you can buy something because you like the name
Speaker 1: or you like the packaging just the same way that
Speaker 1: you You know, you could use a brown paper bag to
Speaker 1: hold your stuff, or you could use an Arames bag.
Speaker 1: They're both gonna carry your stuff. You may like the
Speaker 1: feeling or the status or the thing that Arimez makes
Speaker 1: you feel. You know what I like about Arames. It's
Speaker 1: an investment. It's an investment.
Speaker 2: You buy that.
Speaker 1: Bag, you put it in the closet, Maybe you lose
Speaker 1: a little money on it. It's not going to be
Speaker 1: like a car you drove off the lot and it plummeted.
Speaker 1: It's going to hold its value for the most part.
Speaker 1: That's smart. Some Chanel bags, classic Chanel bags, same story.
Speaker 1: You buy it, you use it. It's real estate. It's
Speaker 1: an alternative asset. So you'd sooner see me using a
Speaker 1: paper bag with my shit in it, or an air
Speaker 1: Mez bag, then some middle of the road price bag.
Speaker 1: It's going to crash in value. So I've made a decision,
Speaker 1: a financial business decision, and I make a decision now
Speaker 1: to buy a lot of shit that I don't need
Speaker 1: so I can try it and tell you that it's bullshit,
Speaker 1: or because I just like the way it looks, or
Speaker 1: because I got influenced, and I can tell you that
Speaker 1: I got influence, and I'm a fucking schmuck. But I'm
Speaker 1: just telling you, this influencing thing is fucking real, and
Speaker 1: it's why I came in so hot and on fire,
Speaker 1: because I can afford to buy Airmez and I can
Speaker 1: afford to buy shit at the Dollar Tree, and much
Speaker 1: of it is the same from a beauty standpoint, So
Speaker 1: just know and start drilling it into your kids too.
Speaker 1: Someone the other day said to me, they couldn't believe that.
Speaker 1: My daughter said that her shoes were from TJ. Max
Speaker 1: and I couldn't believe why she couldn't believe it. What
Speaker 1: do you think, I'm just like looking to burn money
Speaker 1: on fire? Like what do you mean? And if I
Speaker 1: spend ten thousand dollars on an air mez bag, does
Speaker 1: that make me insane? No, because you know what, it's
Speaker 1: an asset. It's literally an asset needs to be ensured.
Speaker 1: It is part of your net worth. It is an
Speaker 1: asset like buying a stock for ten thousand dollars. So
Speaker 1: like that's that's all about business, that's not about me
Speaker 1: being stupid.
