[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can remember so many beauty "trends" from the 80s and 90s. Bonne Bell Lip Smackers, Carmex, Wet n Wild nail polish, Sun in (orange hair!), body sprays (Poison, Giorgio, ck One,) anything from the Body Shop. And we stored them in our Caboodles. These kids today didn't invent any of this. Did people completely forget what it was like being a kid?

Why is this so outrageous? At least we weren't wasting money on $8 highly caloric drinks from Starbucks of Boba Teas, that part is new and far worse of a trend.[/quote]

I think it's outrageous because kids are spending $80 on Drunk Elephant products and making a mess of samples at Sephora. The stuff we bought as teens was $10 and under. Those lip smackers were like $1 each.[/quote]

So don’t shop at Sephora anymore? Not sure why you are so upset. Everything is more expensive. These kids don’t even use pay phones to call home they have $700 phones. [/quote]

Zero teens are wanting to purchase drug store make and skincare.  Because that isn’t what they are fed on TikTok. It’s not that everything is more expensive, it’s that teens feel entitled to luxury brand now so just about everything, including the skincare and makeup.  I grew up UMC and were thrilled to cruise the Maybelline and Cover Girl aisles as teens.  We definitely were not at the Dior counter. [/quote]

Please. Everyone wants the best. It wasn't a thing to have an industrial grade kitchen when I was a kid but grown ass adults who barely cook want top of the line everything. Is it any shock this trickles down to their kids? The adults are doing the same thing.[/quote]
