Jeffree Star has quickly become a mogul in the makeup community. From the liquid lipsticks, to the highlighters, he has made himself somewhat of a household name...but the real question it, is it for the right reasons?

Just last week, Jeffree Star came under fire for using "blackface" one one of his models, popular beauty vlogger "Nikita Dragon" for the photoshoot for his new Androgyny eyeshadow palette.

The photo on the left, is of Nikita during the Androgyny photoshoot, while the picture on the right is during one of her many Youtube videos on her channel. The difference is blatantly obvious, and also excessive.

Now, this isn't Jeffree Star's first run at being under fire for racism, etc. About 10 years ago, Jeffree uploaded a video to his Myspace page, which contains another person in blackface. In this video, he says that he wants to throw battery acid on an African American woman, to lighten her face to it matches her foundation.

Jeffree...honey...

Learn from your past mistakes, and stop being so problematic. Apologize, and move on. Don't linger on the drama. Nobody meeds this messiness.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer.
