Transcript excerpt

I bought this Rare Beauty brush the day that Rare Beauty launched in Sephora about five years ago, and it has took until now for this to fall out. All of the glue has completely come undone. It has been fraying for months, and it has just officially died. I feel like five years for a brush that's $20 is not terrible. Because I have brushes that are triple this price best started, like, falling out within months. Months. Five years. And this has just now hit the shitter. I don't know. I feel like that's good.
