What's with the huge # of young girls at sephora

They must be in middle school at the latest. There's no way makeup is healthy for them Consumerism pushed via social media?

How is makeup unhealthy?

Capital One vHyS36 OP Jan 15

It's chemicals that aren't natural on your body

Meta richаrdhea Jan 15

Why do you think natural (whatever that is) determines whether something is healthy? Hydrochloric acid is very much natural (and made in your stomach) but I wouldn’t smear it on my skin.

It is the forever22 of makeup and skincare. Middle/high school is when young girls start that stuff anyway for bonding. My wife takes our daughter so she can bond with her friends over makeup and nail painting

They all want to look like characters in a Korean drama.

What’s with the huge number of young boys on their computers or video games constantly. That stuff can’t be good for them. Escapism pushed via consimerism?

Capital One vHyS36 OP Jan 15

Apparently they're being rude too, and spending hundreds on anti-aging creams. Crazy

My and wife agreed to limit our daughter to $40 on makeup to bond with her friends. Wife is pretty strict with it

Sephora mainly sells makeup, perfume, and hair care products. If Sephora had been around when I was in middle school, I would have dropped my allowance there too. Instead I bought the cheap stuff they sold at CVS. I doubt if the vast majority of these girls are buying anti aging products. They’re almost exclusively there for the makeup.

Capital One vHyS36 OP Jan 15

Reports are saying they're getting stuff like drunk elephant increasingly

Meta Shaken🍸 Jan 15

No one is keeping track of minors buying Drunk Elephant other than the marketing department at Drunk Elephant, so there are no “reports.” They also make some amazing, regular moisturizer that I’d buy by junior high aged niece since their products won’t clog your pours.

That's to Zuck and Ticktock

Capital One vHyS36 OP Jan 15

Tiktok and algos like that should be treated like drugs

Totally agree, barely any get off it
