Strawberry Make-Up

‘Am I Saying You Copied Me?’ Yes.

  • Fashion brands, this one’s for you. Audio from the latest season of The Kardashians sees Kim calling out Kourtney for copycatting her.

The Look Deserves A Low-Five

  • If you’ve got couples, friends or collaborative creator groups wearing your products, this trend is your UGC’s time to shine.
