*The following post isn't aimed at every brand, just the Beauty Industry in general!
The two most beloved yet contentious words: Beauty Industry.
Like most things in life, the Beauty industry is invariably evolving with the time. Despite being shamefully notorious for generating a lack of shade variety, displaying meager diversity and promoting animal cruelty: the industry is desperately attempting to rectify these problems with expansive shade ranges and a colossal increase in vegan cosmetics (not to say that the prior issues have all been resolved).
However, this time, it isn't a scandal that's left all beauty enthusiasts raging at home. Nuh-uh. These are cases where the industry got a lil' too money hungry, constructing these, suspiciously revolutionary, beauty innovations!

I have to give it to Hourglass for not making this a complete and utter rip-off, though. The results are pretty good. The Packaging gets next level Boujee points and, wow, can we just talk about how bloomin' beautiful this would look sitting on your dresser?!
But is it really anything your trusty drugstore alternative can't pull off? I think not. And for a whopping $78.00...I think I'll continue with my Lash Sensational!
3.Lower Lash Mascara
Even the title of it sounds like it's worthy of winning 2018's biggest gimmick award.
I mean, maybe, I'm just being a little too critical...
There's got to be some people who get use out of this thing, right?

Huh, I guess my Instagram poll states otherwise...
So, there we have it! Three times the beauty industy conned us all, big time!
