Pros

Free makeup and that's really it.

Cons

As you can see from the reviews below, the work environment here is hostile at best. Nothing ever gets done because no one can get anything done without first running it by the CEO, who everyone is pretty sure has some form of antisocial personality disorder [Antisocial personality disorder is a mental health condition in which a person has a long-term pattern of manipulating, exploiting, or violating the rights of others]. She's a terrible person and a completely inappropriate boss. None of her employees, and I mean none - even the ones who pretend they do - like her. She's disorganized, emotionally unstable and volatile, making upper management constantly stressed out and overworked, ultimately contributing to a terrible work environment. You might like this brand from a far but trust this. Don't work here.

Pros

They were an excellent company to work with! They allowed me to take the creative reigns on the content I produced for them rather than micromanaging.

Cons

I found communication between the influencers and the management team a bit difficult. I had to reach out quite a few times in a row in order to discuss our deal. Other than that it was a great company!
