Re: Spooky Lips and Fat Hips
Good to see I’m not the only one who’s just watching these hauls and thinking, “How and why??” Not sure if anyone watches her instastories, but I can’t watch them anymore. Before she got her reception job, I swear she had a daily breakdown of how she was going to pay her student loan debt and how broke she was. I’m sure financial situations can change in a few months, but enough not to worry about your loans + moving to NY? I don’t think she’s great with money (and honestly her and her boyfriend enable each other). Comparing from when I got out of school (working a job that paid more than a receptionist position) it took me much more than a few months to establish emergency funds and contributing to a 401K. And I sure as hell wasnt saving to move to NY.
Money aside, she puts on a fascade that her makeup addiction is good, but I don’t think she has it under control and her YouTube channel is her clinging to the last justification she has. I don’t think she’s unintelligent, but rather she’s surrounded by people who aren’t necessarily building her up and that includes her whack ass YouTube clique of girls who aren’t like other girls but want the perks of being “that girl”.

Re: Spooky Lips and Fat Hips
I just took a peek at her insta to see 2 photos of piles of boxes of tarot cards (idk how to post photos here...) but wtf doesn't this girl collect??? I'm genuinely curious about her financial situation and simultaneously never want to hear her complain about it
I don't know anything about the cards but don't you literally only need one deck? I can see having 2 or 3 because i have seen some pretty designs and if it's part of your job or something i get it but i don't think ANYONE needs as many as she showed in those photos

Re: Spooky Lips and Fat Hips
I have a feeling she collects a crap ton of crap. Don’t get it, but it feels junky to me. Like on her insta she’s always done flatlays and there are pages with really good flatlays, but hers looks crowded and thinking about it makes me claustrophobic. All of the makeup. All of the collections of religious objects and old Halloween creepy things. It’s too much.

Re: Spooky Lips and Fat Hips
She spends so much money, I can't help but cringe. I totally agree that her boyfriend is an enabler in all of this. They need to sit down and re-assess their priorities, imo.

Re: Spooky Lips and Fat Hips
I have zero problems with spending; I have a budget and I stick to it but seeing how much she buys makes me feel ill if that makes sense?? Massive containers of tarot cards but she buys more, instead of a few colour pop lipglosses it’s the whole collection and now she’s brought a ton in the Sephora sale. There’s something new she’s brought showcased almost every single day. There’s clearly an issue here and I hope she realised sooner rather than later. I really do like Lacie and her content but I feel like I’m watching someone spiral out of control with their spending.

Re: Spooky Lips and Fat Hips
The insta updates about her move are killing me. She has so much makeup she packed it in multiple boxes and then bought MORE because of the move. So freaking stupid and wasteful.

Re: Spooky Lips and Fat Hips
She doesn’t seem to have direction any more. I don’t know why that is, but I was a fan early on and she has definitely changed a lot from who she was. All the money she spends, I feel like her and Smokey Glow both have parents who pay for things, or maybe her boyfriend’s parents pay for things. I’m not jealous but it feels like she’s not even enjoying what she has. She got popular enough and started talking with Georgia, Hannah, Nisi, Angelica, and them, and then I feel like just tried to keep up with them, or ahead of them, with new products.

Re: Spooky Lips and Fat Hips
I get wanting to go on a shopping spree for your birthday, but if you're moving someplace new with no job lined up why not save that money? She could always do a belated birthday shopping trip later when she has an income again.

Re: Spooky Lips and Fat Hips
I feel the same way. Even if she got herself one nice thing. I wonder if she gets gift cards from her parents like Chia PetFatMermaid wrote: ↑Wed Jun 05, 2019 2:53 pmI get wanting to go on a shopping spree for your birthday, but if you're moving someplace new with no job lined up why not save that money?

Re: Spooky Lips and Fat Hips
Every single insta story she puts up of her “decorated apartment” makes me cringe. It’s all so unbelievably cluttered. And now of course she’s obsessively buying plants, too. How does she have any money at all??

Re: Spooky Lips and Fat Hips
All I see in her apartment is an abundance of items that will need dusting. No thanks, I don't have the time.ParakeetFluff wrote: ↑Wed Jun 12, 2019 10:29 amEvery single insta story she puts up of her “decorated apartment” makes me cringe. It’s all so unbelievably cluttered.

Re: Spooky Lips and Fat Hips
I really love Lacie with all my heart and love her makeup as well. I do get a bit worried about her spending though because I know she has spoke about her makeup addiction. I myself have one as well and it's hard to not buy things. I never had money in highschool to buy makeup so now that I'm in college and have financial aid and stuff I went ham and bought the necessary stuff I needed for school and then bought makeup. I don't have as much as she does but I do have a lot of makeup and I have lists of what other things I want and when you are in the mode of compulsive shopping it really does feel like you have no control of anything. I have had to stop myself from buying things so much. I always had packages coming to my door and I know that I still have a problem. I'm not here to talk crap about Lacie at all because I do love her dearly. I just hope she can fight her addiction sooner or later because it is apparent that she still does have a problem and it seems as if she's masking it by saying that it's not as bad as it used to be. She does showcase what she buys almost daily and when looking at her actual Instagram it's clear there is an issue and what I find with most gurus is that they have all this makeup that ends up being decluttered anyways. I do think that her bf should sit her down and talk to her. I know makeup brings her joy because it brings me joy as well and I'm not gonna lie I went ham for my birthday as well and my bf got me makeup as well but even know when I want something my bf has to remind me to calm down and to appreciate the makeup I have and to basically shop my stash. It keeps me grounded honestly. I still am fighting my addiction all the time but my bf really helps me and so does my mom because she used to be the same way. It can become difficult to use everything you have and I know she can't possibly get use out of everything she has. I'm not bashing her I just want her to realize that she has to hold herself accountable and it's easy to be in denial when you have an addiction. Even Georgia Harris took a break from posting makeup related videos because she realized she has a shopping addiction. I know Lacie does as well and it's something she has to really work on because it will really ruin her

Re: Spooky Lips and Fat Hips
I guess I don’t wonder about her finances because it’s not my life. Not my business how she gets her money or what she spends it on. I know personally, I probably spend too much on skin care but thankfully don’t have a channel to share and be judged.
My issue with Lacie is her upload schedule. I just wish she was more consistent. I feel like she comes back with a video and she disappears for long periods. I tend to enjoy her content, so wish she would upload regularly. I get she just moved but it seems like it’s been like that since she started her channel. I hate writing that cause I’m sure she has her reasons, but as a subscriber I would love to hear from her more. I’m not really into to podcasts, although I will drop in from time to time to the Half Cousins or whatever it’s called.

Re: Spooky Lips and Fat Hips
I wonder why when Georgia posted a video talking about struggling with compulsive shopping, people thought of you Lacie?? Very defensive, of course. Nice little detail about how she and her bf both still have student loans!! but she still can buy makeup and plants and tarot cards and summer clothes and and and and...
Edit: the pictures didn’t upload the first time!

She's free to deny it all she wants. As I'm free to judge all I want

Re: Spooky Lips and Fat Hips
It's like she doesn't understand that she doesn't have to furnish her new place all at once. Just get what you actually need then once you have a job again get fun decorative stuff. It's not like she doesn't have a ton of shit already that she can use to make her home her own or whatever.
She was able to admit to herself that she had a shopping problem once, hopefully she can do it again. It's so obvious to everyone else. I feel bad for her.

Re: Spooky Lips and Fat Hips
Hooolyyy shit, an hour long favorites video. I'm not a subscriber, but I watch her every so often when she comes up in my recommended. Someone really needs to stage an intervention with this girl and her boyfriend, seriously. Coming from someone recovering from a shopping addiction, this chick is going to permanently financially cripple herself if she doesn't get ahold of this thing soon. She talks about the recent Too Faced Tutti Frutti blush shade expansion and says, "As soon as I heard they were coming out with these, I immediately bought all three of them," and then goes on to say that all three of the new shades are very similar. She couldn't have waited to swatch them in store to *see* that they were very similar and that she didn't need all of them (or any of them)?
Also, doing the podcast with Lacie cannot be healthy for Georgia if she's trying to break her shopping addiction. I wonder if Lacie realizes that and what Georgia thinks about Lacie's spending. This whole favorites video is one big red alert.

Re: Spooky Lips and Fat Hips
Um, don’t know if this really counts as a “soft look” once you pile on the crazy harsh eyeliner and white mascara.

Re: Spooky Lips and Fat Hips
I feel like an asshole, but her makeup is portly applied here. That mascara looks gross - something about it growing from a void of black eyeliner is so uncanny. Then there’s the shadow of dipbrow framing her eyebrows. Eh, this ain’t it.
And it ain’t soft.
