It is so brave of you to do this math—I never want to know how much I spend on beauty! At least you’re getting your money’s worth—forget thirty-eight, you look thirty-six!
Have you read any of Jessica DeFino's work? Early in her career she worked on the Kardashian apps, now her writing focuses on how the beauty industry is held up by the pillars of capitalism, patriarchy, and colonialism. Her stuff is so good and really helps reframe beauty standards around aging and unpack all of those deep seated feelings.
the craziest part to me is how lopsided this ends up being. Don't the capitalists in the beauty industry want my dollars too? Dude's haircuts are cheaper, we're less pressed to hide our grays, my skin care routine costs a bar of dial soap every few weeks, and high spf sunscreen each summer.
I'm plenty insecure about my looks and my body, but the market just isn't trying to make more money off of it? weird.
FTR, everyone's nose should lean a little left as the other way is just a social no-go.
Without this sounding stalky as frankly I live in Fort Collins CO and it's expensive to live here and I cannot afford to leave without building up work trip points to get a free flight plus stalking is f'ing creepy and weird, you are pretty.

Thank you for saying this because this morning I woke up and I was like, OH NO DID I REALLY SAY THIS hahahhaaha.
I'm Adrienne's opposite. Never tell her I use discount beauty products at Marshall's.
Bitch, you think I don't know this?

You're welcome for the run-on sentence.
Hahhaahah, thank you!
Hilarious! So true ! Botox investment is killing me. The hair and makeup costs alone are insane on top of that.
and the problem is, once you've seen your face with the botox, it's real hard to be like, you know what, I prefer this looser, wrinklier face hahahaha
So true. Now you know how much better it can be.
Honestly, I'm surprised I haven't received a chastising email from Brie over this newsletter and my financial planning hahhahahhhaah
