I am so sorry but Jeffree saying "not everybody acts right up here" has me dying laughing. Sure Jeffree, we all know 𝘺𝘰𝘶 act right with all your money, power, and viewers.
I wish people would stop praising Jeffree for having the most popular "controversial" opinon and acting like its some hot take. People have been bringing attention to Mikayla's lies for a while now - its not controversial at all lol (a broken clock is right twice a day and all that). And imo he's only going this hard because she didn't want to collab with him. I think we know if they did collab - Jeffree would be kissing her butt majorly.
I mean… the makeup market is completely saturated at this point so if this is too expensive you could get a duo of beautiful sparkly indie shadows. They look pretty, I won’t buy it, but I hope the people that do like it. I’m like a crow, I’m drawn to shiny things so these look really nice but I know I have stuff that already looks similar. Edit: God Mikayla is such a sensory nightmare
@@manic_girl I just am always astonished how anyone can listen to her for a full minute 😂 her voice irritates me so much. And definitely, I only buy things if I need to replace something and really think about how often I’d wear it these days
The amount of people reacting as if Patrick Ta is holding them at gŲɲ point to buy it is insane 😆 Also do people forget that Tom Ford, dior, chanel, n Gucci makeup exists?????? Lol
@ 1. No he’s not he benefits from every brand he trashed bc he has his own brand and 2. Believe it or not I don’t think that negates how awful he is in every other way. He’s a racist and a misogynistic asshole
I’ve seen another creator who I like Monica Ravichandran make a short clip where she defends Patrick TA’s pricing and explains it. I trust her judgement even if her makeup style isn’t for me. That said, she also mentioned if anyone is interested that Wycon Cosmetics has a very close dupe. It’s a Italian brand that’s very affordable
Polish brand GlamShop has some amazing sparkling eyeshadows for a fraction of the price, just pure pigment, I wouldn't even call them a dupe, because they've been around for years.
Yes I agree the pricing on his eyeshadow make sense I’ve always thought this would I buy it maybe if I had the money but I’m not gonna crap on his pricing when it isn’t that bad when u think about it. Singular eyeshadows cost a lot just like he pointed out the urban decay moon dust ones have been out for how long and I haven’t heard anyone complaining just like Charlotte Tilbury pop shots.
@@xxoxEMxoxx for these eyeshadows ? I know there was claims before but it wasn’t mold it was oxidation problems also tbh what company hasn’t had an issue before so I wouldn’t hold it against him if it was true
Nobody complains about the Pat McGrath prices when really it’s the same concept. Patrick Ta has never been a CHEAP or AFFORDABLE brand. The fact that there are two shades and not ONE single shadow, the price completely makes sense for his brand and the product itself! Just my two cents 😂
I don’t know what makes me more mad Makayla being an annoying liar as per usual or her making Jeffree Star of all people be right and have a🤢🤮. But then again Jeffree was describing himself so the irony in that.
I will ALWAYS pay extra for more product with better quality ingredients. If it’s going on my face or in my body then I don’t want anybody cutting corners.
I dont mind the price of the Patrick Ta duos, I just wish they were singles, id rather pay $20 for one shade that i really want rather than a duo where i only want one shade.
It really speaks to our horrific attention spans that we can’t watch anything anymore without a split screen with a bunch of random things going on at the same time.
Patrick Ta has been a well known name in the makeup industry for a LONG time, he can charge that. Everyones acting like he’s up and coming because they’ve never heard of his brand😭
I think people are just sick of people like JS & MN getting this stuff for free while everyone else has to pay. Actually I think most people are sick of most "influencers" getting these things for free while everyone else has to pay. Let’s be honest here, most of these people that get this stuff for free…it’s not like they’re hard up for cash.
I love your videos😭😭 I wish Mikayla would either improve her terrible decisions and disclose or just stop all together. She’s so infuriating and adds nothing to the industry but lies and distrust. If she’s the standard now for an influencer what kind of future are we going to have? Everyone lying and not disclosing?
i actually am gonna comment on your hoodie look because before you said you hated it and why i thought you looked stunning 😭 the hairstyle and color of the hoodie suits you so well (sad the hoodie is terribly made tho) truly 💗💗💗
I’m think she could have worded it differently and it would came across better. She could have said both are great but if you can’t afford Patrick, here are some options that may be more affordable. But I still don’t like her 😅
i rarely - and i mean RARELY - buy luxury/high-end brands but honestly, i'm more inclined to buy his duo now after seeing his explanation of the price when compared to singles of slightly smaller size. especially knowing it's composition.
the point about continuity is a GREAT one. she has no throughline. no real products she actually loves and uses constantly, let alone for a whole year. VS youtubers - we all know nikkie always uses juvia’s place eyeshadows and the plouise base, we all know tati uses the tarte smoothing primer, jeffree uses the bobbi brown vitamin face base, james uses the tatcha silk canvas etc etc. it’s THAT kind of lasting continuity that makes product reviews actually believable.
About the continuity, I think that if you just see her pop up every once in a while people wont notice I guess, but if you follow her you notice but in the algorithm maybe not
one of my young 18 year old coworkers was using jeffrey stars lip gloss yesterday and raving abt him. and i was like “ya his products are really good but i don’t like him, he’s very problematic.” i seem to have blown her mind…….
i was an elf girl for over a decade i stuck by them through the weird cult accusations but the way mikayla is promoting them has really soured me on the brand
@@baptismascure I figured but I still find it weird he didn't use the product as intended. I think it's a good product but the back of your hand doesn't crease like your eyelids do, so I'm sceptical as to how it would actually wear on the eyes throughout the day
@whyaretheredemonnoises3188 i think it would have just been extreamly show what he wanted to with the amount of space that the eyelid is and how far away his face is from the camera, using his hand was more practical with a larger area without having to constantly be changing camera angles which would also involve editing
Honestly I get that Urban Decay shadows are just as expensive but the difference is that you get the choice to pick the second one if you want to therefore having to get 2 shadows for 42 dollars it just seems crazy to me
gonna be so honest I don't really feel the desire to defend a luxury brand likely making huge profits off of some makeup. especially with how the economy is right now, people are struggling to even afford groceries where I live. makeup is not a neccessity and people make their own choices, but internet culture also seriously pushes people to look as successful and trendy as possible - so there's likely people who purchased this and couldn't afford it. and I'm a hell of a lot more likely to defend the poor people targeted by consumerism then some rich dude with a makeup brand. I haven't purchased luxury makeup since I was a teenager because its genuinely not affordable for me anymore, and it isn't for most people. I think its fine for people to point that out.
Well nobody is forcing them to buy it. Also Patrik Ta is a household name and he’s known for his great quality. Of course a certain part of his price is the name but don’t forget that you’re paying for luxury quality and innovation. When a drug store Produkt uses already known formulas („copying“) and veery affordable ingredients/ packaging of course it will be less pricey
@ If you read my comment I said that people make their own choices, but that consumerism encourages bad financial choices. His product is also not innovative. It’s a shimmer eye shadow.
@ of course formulas can be innovative. And it’s only a bad financial choice if you don’t have the money or don’t like it. If you save up for it and actually use it your money is well spent. It’s also the exact opposite of consumerism. Consumerism would be buying a giant palette and only using one or two shades
Will it go off? If you’re going to set a high price I hope it lives up to a high standard. He doesn’t have a great track record with quality. So it better be high quality that matches the price. It came out of the pan. I wonder who will have their eyeshadow shattered all over their bathroom floor. Zero trust
The thing that I’m annoyed about w Patrick Ta is his insistence that he’s got the most revolutionary formula with “100% pearl”. Sir, 1) baked slurry formulas are great but not new 2) you aren’t using “pearl” you’re using mica cut with Ca Ti borosilicate 3) it’s not “100%” anything you’ve got MULTIPLE fillers, binders, and bulking agents. Obviously such agents are part of any cosmetic formulation, but that’s not what he’s saying, and imo it feels so disingenuous for him to be “justifying” the product with false (or at the very least highly misleading) statements
I’ll also add that they look very pretty, I don’t think 42 is completely out of the norm for something like this (it’s just odd that it’s more expensive than his blush duos, his highlighter duos, and basically half the price of a full size palette), and if they don’t mold in 6-9 months I think carefully selecting one “perfect for you” duo could be a great addition to someone with a more minimalist mainstream collection if they wanted to treat themselves to something different. Truly the only bad vibes I’ve got was from his misleading marketing statements compiled on top of my baseline slight distrust from his poor handling of the previous eyeshadow mold issue
I find Patrick Ta to be an almost luxury brand so I’m not shocked at the price point. I get it and if people are hurting due to inflation then this should be a non issue as there are lots of options that can give u a similar effect minus the experience of a pearl eyeshadow at an affordable price. However, when it comes to quality such as pans falling out or lack of pigment I get why ppl are less forgiving. I’ve learned to take what certain influencers say with a grain of salt and try things for myself at the end of the day if it’s no good you can always return it.
And some of these high end brand do want to be able to select their clients, as is more rich people to be the only ones to wear it to fit the image of brand and clients they want to be known as
Heck, one elf shadow is 6 bucks. ????That’s super expensive for me. You can get a whole Juvias place or colourpop palette for only half as much added on. I’m sorry. 42 for a duo???? This is crazy. Even LA colors stumbles upon a good formula in 2024. As these higher end formulations become easier to access and cheaper to distribute
I went right away to see the ingredients to the Patrick Ta new shadows..they do look very sticky which is great...he said they were 100 pearl with no fillers..what the heck is 100 pearl? ..it's got mica and synthetic fluorphlogopite along with all the other normal ingredients that are in eyeshadows..what am I missing ? I got his all matte palette and it was so powdery no matter how much I changed the eye primer it would disappear in a couple of hours...so disappointing..what is 100 % pearl?? thanks for sticking around I've watched you for years I just never say anything,.. but I had to this time...
Didn’t hourglass and tom ford have eyeshadow toppers like this? And weren’t they $40+ for ONE? I get $42 is a lot for 2 eyeshadows but like… don’t get them? If they’re of good quality and one can afford them, then fine. If they’re expensive and cheap, then pass. If you can’t afford them then pass. Like what’s the controversy about the pricing exactly?
You know what they say! Even a stopped clock is sometimes correct throughout the course of the day maybe possibly because the clock is stopped so it's a possibility that maybe the clock could also be right as well .....or sumn like dat 😕
I mean. I love the look of those shadows. Id probably wear them more than a whole pallet for the same price and therefore get the money fully out of it in using it all.
i saw the first post tana and brooke posted with J star just as it came out and i was SHOCKED. jaw to the ground like why tf are they collabing with him and went into the comments to say just that and ALL the comments were hyping them up like WTFFF
mikayla's boston accent is so exaggerated it's so annoying. like yes there are people who have accents like that but she lays it on so thick for the camera
20:57 jeffree has done awful crap… I do believe people can be humbled and changed. I do think he’s changes some.. still not a good person though. But he does have a unique prospective that most people won’t.
I really don’t think Mikayla meant it was an exact dupe she just said there is something else just as pretty for much cheaper that’s it. People are dragging her and in this situation she doesn’t deserve it at all lol
Really irritating hearing about these funds available to overseas creators on TikTok when in Aus you can have 100k followers and millions of views and get jack shite
I figure a good bit of the cost comes from the labor, ingredients, and the mirror in the packaging. I personally still wouldn't pay that much for shadows like that because they don't look any different on the eyes than some other shadows I already have... It's why I haven't bought the moondust or the too faced singles. I'm set with what I've got.
If ppl don't like how much something costs then just don't buy it😭 like there's so much affordable makeup, you don't need Patrick Ta if it's too expensive for you. When you make a business, you're allowed to price your product whatever you want, he's making good quality makeup and wants it to be seen as a luxury item so obviously he has to give it luxury prices. It's not like he said he's doing a charity favor by promising cheap makeup to ppl. He wants to make a profit and he wants to make a profit that allows him and his family to live a certain lifestyle. He's putting the work in to make his own good quality product so he deserves to get rich from it if that's what he wants. It's so annoying how ppl complain about not getting paid their worth and then get mad at ppl like Patrick for charging their worth.
The only thing I can think of why Mikayla did the video with Elf’s eyeshadows like this is strict guidelines from unexperienced influence manager on the brand’s side. I work in marketing and with influencers too. It was a good opportunity to promote brand, all you have to say is: «Everyone is talking about the price, while I think Patrick’s eyeshadows is beautiful, I hear you. This is more affordable product with similar result». But not every brand manager would agree to little bit lower their product for better results.
as someone who used to be a really big fan of jeffree pre bye sister, it amazes me how she thought they'd get along like, he's known and appreciated for being edgy and provocative and for pushing boundaries and she's clearly none of that.
For some reason when JS was on live saying “oh they’re saying he’s awful” wah wah wah my mind was taken to that Summer Heights High Jaime clip where she’s claiming the other girls are bullying her. The desperate need for a pity party.
Jeffree calling out Mikayla is the classic example of “right message, wrong messenger”.

dinner and a new angelika video... life is beautiful
God I love the honesty for a change!!! Love you so much ❤❤
I've just been itching for your video on this
Okay but Designer bags are a scam too. Way too overpriced as production is usually about 400 $ and they sell it for 40000$
OH YES another bedtime story
I find Patrick Ta to be an almost luxury brand so I’m not shocked at the price point. I get it and if people are hurting due to inflation then this should be a non issue as there are lots of options that can give u a similar effect minus the experience of a pearl eyeshadow at an affordable price. However, when it comes to quality such as pans falling out or lack of pigment I get why ppl are less forgiving. I’ve learned to take what certain influencers say with a grain of salt and try things for myself at the end of the day if it’s no good you can always return it.
Angelika, we love long videos!! Please don't ever apologize for them
Another great video, thank you as always :)
And some of these high end brand do want to be able to select their clients, as is more rich people to be the only ones to wear it to fit the image of brand and clients they want to be known as
Heck, one elf shadow is 6 bucks. ????That’s super expensive for me. You can get a whole Juvias place or colourpop palette for only half as much added on.
I’m sorry. 42 for a duo???? This is crazy. Even LA colors stumbles upon a good formula in 2024. As these higher end formulations become easier to access and cheaper to distribute
I went right away to see the ingredients to the Patrick Ta new shadows..they do look very sticky which is great...he said they were 100 pearl with no fillers..what the heck is 100 pearl? ..it's got mica and synthetic fluorphlogopite along with all the other normal ingredients that are in eyeshadows..what am I missing ? I got his all matte palette and it was so powdery no matter how much I changed the eye primer it would disappear in a couple of hours...so disappointing..what is 100 % pearl?? thanks for sticking around I've watched you for years I just never say anything,.. but I had to this time...
The fact that Patrick said that innovation takes years and elf comes out with dupes right away….
Hmmmm 🤔 seems like elf wouldn’t be as good… sooo.
Like James Charles saying he spent years working on his first palette!
It’s also easier to copy once the Formular is ok the mostet vs spending the resources to research yourself
Oh look at that. Jeffree going STRAIGHT for her appearance in his criticism of Mikayla *yawn*
24:06 literally everyone says that 😂😂 . Pretty sure you even said it in the video. I don’t even like Makayla, but let’s keep it consistent.
Nah theres a difference between doing ads and a collaboration vs being endorsed by a brand..
I wonder if you could get 3 for 18.
If you know something about cosmetic chemistry you know this eyeshadow formula is not so special. 100% pearl, no fillers my a.
Thats not true.
Didn’t hourglass and tom ford have eyeshadow toppers like this? And weren’t they $40+ for ONE? I get $42 is a lot for 2 eyeshadows but like… don’t get them? If they’re of good quality and one can afford them, then fine. If they’re expensive and cheap, then pass. If you can’t afford them then pass. Like what’s the controversy about the pricing exactly?
You know what they say! Even a stopped clock is sometimes correct throughout the course of the day maybe possibly because the clock is stopped so it's a possibility that maybe the clock could also be right as well
.....or sumn like dat 😕
I mean. I love the look of those shadows. Id probably wear them more than a whole pallet for the same price and therefore get the money fully out of it in using it all.
For me it’s like comparing one beauty villon to another and I choose Jeffree Star.
Let’s not choose either.
@ 🙂🙂
Ok..how can he call Mikayla out like that but then be friends with Jaclyn, who was the TH-cam Mikayla because she lied her ass off about everything?
Such a shame that elf works with her because I actually like their brand in its own right but her saying to buy it makes me not want to 😅
i saw the first post tana and brooke posted with J star just as it came out and i was SHOCKED. jaw to the ground like why tf are they collabing with him and went into the comments to say just that and ALL the comments were hyping them up like WTFFF
You nailed that annoying HELLOO hahaha can not stop laughing
mikayla's boston accent is so exaggerated it's so annoying. like yes there are people who have accents like that but she lays it on so thick for the camera
Love your reading nook, girl!! 😊 and as always, makeup+hair+outfit on point♥️
20:57 jeffree has done awful crap… I do believe people can be humbled and changed. I do think he’s changes some.. still not a good person though. But he does have a unique prospective that most people won’t.
I don’t think hes changed one bit. Look at how he drags Hailey Bieber through the mid just to speak up some attention and appeal to the mass
He also still spends time with people like Tana, sooo…
Jeffree absolutely positively HATES women. He has a huge hatred for women because I can’t stand Mikayla but that was disgraceful
as i am not a make-up girlie, to me these are all crazy prices😬
ps its hilarious to me that mikayla blocked u
I really don’t think Mikayla meant it was an exact dupe she just said there is something else just as pretty for much cheaper that’s it. People are dragging her and in this situation she doesn’t deserve it at all lol
Really irritating hearing about these funds available to overseas creators on TikTok when in Aus you can have 100k followers and millions of views and get jack shite
I figure a good bit of the cost comes from the labor, ingredients, and the mirror in the packaging. I personally still wouldn't pay that much for shadows like that because they don't look any different on the eyes than some other shadows I already have... It's why I haven't bought the moondust or the too faced singles. I'm set with what I've got.
If ppl don't like how much something costs then just don't buy it😭 like there's so much affordable makeup, you don't need Patrick Ta if it's too expensive for you. When you make a business, you're allowed to price your product whatever you want, he's making good quality makeup and wants it to be seen as a luxury item so obviously he has to give it luxury prices.
It's not like he said he's doing a charity favor by promising cheap makeup to ppl. He wants to make a profit and he wants to make a profit that allows him and his family to live a certain lifestyle. He's putting the work in to make his own good quality product so he deserves to get rich from it if that's what he wants. It's so annoying how ppl complain about not getting paid their worth and then get mad at ppl like Patrick for charging their worth.
Didn’t Jeffree move out to Wyoming or whatever to “get away from the drama”, yet here he is again causing more 🙄🙄🙄🙄
you could HEAR the dryness in the elf ones when she was first getting the products onto her fingers...
All I’m gonna say about Jeffree calling out Mikayla:
Even a broken clock is right twice a day.
Following the opinion of the mass isn’t really being right
The only thing I can think of why Mikayla did the video with Elf’s eyeshadows like this is strict guidelines from unexperienced influence manager on the brand’s side. I work in marketing and with influencers too. It was a good opportunity to promote brand, all you have to say is: «Everyone is talking about the price, while I think Patrick’s eyeshadows is beautiful, I hear you. This is more affordable product with similar result». But not every brand manager would agree to little bit lower their product for better results.
she could’ve still sold it but market it as an affordable option i don’t understand why she has to drag in order to sell
I'm absolutely not a fan of Jeffree's in the slightest but he ate her up ngl 😅
as someone who used to be a really big fan of jeffree pre bye sister, it amazes me how she thought they'd get along like, he's known and appreciated for being edgy and provocative and for pushing boundaries and she's clearly none of that.
For some reason when JS was on live saying “oh they’re saying he’s awful” wah wah wah my mind was taken to that Summer Heights High Jaime clip where she’s claiming the other girls are bullying her. The desperate need for a pity party.
Never thought I’d be agreeing with JS, however him coming for Mikaylas tan hands needs to stop when he’s got horrendous YSL tattoos on his…
Realizing she blocked you while filming was HILARIOUS 😂
Wouldn’t be surprised if she actually took the Patrick Ta on her eyes and pretended it was the Elf 🙄
