Скачать или смотреть Did Tarte Just Make Their Biggest Brand Mistake Ever?

🔥 Tarte Cosmetics is under fire AGAIN—this time, for two major controversies. First, founder & CEO Maureen Kelly posted a TikTok flexing that Tarte is a "billion-dollar brand" while sipping champagne in a tropical cabana—mocking critics who say "Who even buys Tarte anymore?" The tone-deaf response didn’t sit well with many consumers but others thought it was funny.

And if that wasn’t enough, Tarte’s new "Big Stick Energy" lip product is facing accusations of idea theft from Basma Beauty, a smaller indie brand that claims they had the original concept first. With Tarte’s history of problematic influencer trips, over-the-top PR packages, and declining brand relevance, is this just another sign they’re out of touch with their audience?

📌 In this video, I’m breaking down:
🔹 Maureen Kelly’s viral TikTok & why it’s rubbing people the wrong way
🔹 The controversy behind Tarte’s Big Stick Energy campaign
🔹 Basma Beauty’s claims that Tarte stole their idea
🔹 Why legacy beauty brands keep making these mistakes
🔹 The bigger issue with tone-deaf beauty CEOs

Is Tarte Cosmetics losing its relevance? Are beauty brands failing to understand their own consumers? Let’s discuss! 👇 Sound off in the comments!

💬 What do you think? Was Maureen Kelly’s video just a joke, or does it show how disconnected beauty brand owners are? And do you think Tarte copied Basma Beauty’s idea?

💖 ABOUT ME:

Hi, my name is Jen I am 47 and live in Connecticut with my husband and 11 year old son. I am a stay-at-home Mom and full-time YouTuber with a degree in business with a focus in marketing. Before leaving work when my son was born, I was a commercial lender at a bank. I also worked at Sephora and Macy's doing visual merchandising.
I have dry skin with some hyperpigmentation and fine lines. I love natural makeup looks but occasionally go outside my comfort zone a little bit. On my channel you'll find lots of videos about drugstore makeup and drugstore dupes (those are my favorites to film!) but I also review high-end makeup as well. I hope you enjoy my channel and if you do, please don't forget to SUBSCRIBE & leave me a comment!
