I wonder if the estimate would have come in higher if we were selling ONLY if you got CUSTOM made numbers for the address! NOT the "cheap, low-quality" kind that weren't intentionally PERFECT and CULTIVATED ------------------------------------------------------- For anyone who missed this little gem back in November ---I copied and pasted from her IG: (** bolded is mine**) higgins home"We didn’t want a typical, cheaply made product that you can pick up at the store and we also wanted a style that would work really well with the style of our home. It had to be SPECIAL.
Through my online research I found @modernhousenumbers and knew we had a winner. We placed our order, the product arrived, we’ll get them installed in the next couple of weeks, and holy QUALITY, Batman! These are the BEST. Exactly what we wanted in this kind of product! Check out my stories today where I’m sharing more glimpses. Plus, I learned that they’re a small business right here in our home state of Arizona so THAT's cool."

She was back in the stories yesterday shilling Shine Cosmetics new palettes. So whoever said she'd be back in less than a week - winner, winner chicken dinner!

I mean I put thought into my siding becauss we changed colors but still, Becky needs to chill the fuck out. No wonder she’s a hysterical mess.

Isn't Shine Cosmetics an MLM? I feel like it is, or it's at least similar.

Isn't Shine Cosmetics an MLM? I feel like it is, or it's at least similar. sure sounds like it to me-- from their website: "Do you have a passion for beauty? Do you yearn to make a difference? Do you love to share a good thing with your friends and family? Would you like discounts on your favorite makeup products? Would you like to earn an income from the convenience of home?
They say you can’t have your cake and eat it too. But they lied. You can.
Apply to join the Shine Cosmetics Beauty Ambassador Program. Then grab your code and start sharing!"

Yeah, you might not have to spend money to buy in, but you're still roping people in to buy stuff they may not even want so that you can get a kickback. Yuck.

And I love how they always put women out as the 'founders' on these LDS companies, but when you look at the paperwork the 'owner' is Derek Robinson - the hubs of one of the 'founders'.

And she just couldn't wait to share her 10% off code these uuuuh-mazing products with us so she just had to do it straight from the car, y'all.
In case you're tempted by Shine Cosmetics: no, they're not at all on the radar of beauty and makeup lovers. At all. Yet they charge what major makeup brands do. Don't fall into this trap. Save your money and get good eyeshadow from Anastasia BH if can splurge or Colorpop if you're on a budget. There are so many brands out there that have been tried and tested by non-affiliate makeup enthusiasts. Shine Cosmetics is absolute not one of them. Put your money where the honest reviews are. In case of doubt, visit websites like Temptalia or find one of the niche YT cosmetics fans who aren't afraid to speak their mind and are consistent in how they swatch and try stuff.
The house number saga that was brought up again just shows how wannabe rich Becky is. And how out of tune this type of spending is when they abandoned their mortgage or did a voluntary foreclosure on their home. Just like spending US$2000 on one light fixture. And buying 7 new Kallax units to replace perfectly fine Expedit units. And so on. These were are all unnecessary purchases meant to impress the outside world and flatter her (and David's) ego. The need to publicly share these shows how disconnected the Higgins are from reality. I'm still interested to see if their old home actually goes to auction or if they'll find a last-minute solution to prevent it. But I'm not holding my breath here.

Also, didn't know about Colorpop and I love good budget makeup tips - thank you!! I just edited 1 minute before you posted. Definitely a very appropriate Freudian slip-type of typo! Colourpop is a brand that manufactures in the US. They revolutionised the makeup game by producing according to demand. They can afford this approach by making their own products straight in California rather than outsource it to other manufacturers or having to depend on factories based in China. This also explains why they put new stuff on the market seemingly all the time: they just test out and see what sells, what doesn't. In one week, they can put a new product on the market which is pretty incredible. They aim at a younger crowd but for the price bracket they operate in, they're very good. They were a go-to when the matte liquid lipstick craze was happening in the makeup world a few years back. Vegan and cruelty-free as well. I've had good results with their liquid lippies and their eyeshadow provided I use a trusted eyeshadow primer. ETA: ColourPop is featured in the Netflix Broken docuseries (as a good example ) as well. You get a good walk-through of their operations in that episode.

OMFG!! really?!? my eyes rolled so much they got stuck for a second... well, I finally made it to the end, and I think I figured out what her intent is (like she said, her intent became clearer as I read)... "I don't share these experiences to try and shed light on my character... I share this to shed light on YOUR character." And this one: "friends, sharing kindness with others begins with THINKING kindness of others." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Is this message a hand-slap to us and our 'unkindness' towards her? that's what I think. (in addition to shilling her newest notebook designs, of course- THAT goes without saying.)

The first one sounds like she made it up. No one talks like that. And the last one sounds suspicious as well.

"Hi friends,
Did you hear all about how people love me? 1. Someone loves me! 2. Someone loves me! 3. Someone loves me!
In conclusion, I'm awesome, please love me. And tell me all about how you love me. *draws heart* Becky"

Sorry I don’t ‘notebook’ I papercraft mostly in scrapbooks, which you used to sell, now you don’t. I’m not interested in ‘notebooks’ especially spiral notebooks that cost as much as a half way decent journal ( like moleskin )
I do not look at her social media ever anymore, if I actually think there’s something I need to know, I’ll go ask the group on FB because she can’t be bothered.

Gag. This latest email was the final straw for me and I clicked Unsubscribe right then and there.
I remember way back in the day, maybe it was in her Scrapbooking Secrets “book,” where she featured a page about the clothing she wore and she had saved the actual tags from United Colors of Benetton, Esprit, and the like. I remember thinking then that this was quite materialistic, showy, and odd. Again, gag. Now she’s 20 some years older and still quite materialistic, showy, and odd.

I do not know a single person who texts full on paragraphs like that. Not one. That entire email is "look at me and the people who said nice things to me, and also I'm giving away books from my stash because they aren't selling!"
Yawn. None of that was sending a message of "be kind to others," it was a huge pat on her own back.

I love how cultivation is traditionally thought of as raising and caring for crops which often involves spreading manure. Becky’s got the latter part down pat.

What the actual hell is that load of crap?
Does she not send it to someone on her team for proofreading before hitting send and that person says, “You sound like a douche and you should just delete this arrogant bullshit?”
I can’t imagine anyone of “her girls” thought this was a good idea. Well, maybe Becky Proudfit since she has the same inflated ego-maybe worse- but Kari on her team (although maybe she’s gone now since Becky Proudfit is the only one we hear about) seems smart and normal.

Someone got her panties in a twist and just wants everyone to know "if you can't say something nice about me, I will for you."

Remember when the peas were able to figure out the glowing reviews of her classes came from family members (her dad being one) and friends. I'm getting that vibe from her email.

I saw the Rhonna Designs Collage app mentioned on Instagram. It's only for apple products, but it might be a good replacement for the PL app scrappers.

This is a really good app. Rhonna was one of my big inspirations back in the day and I always loved her work. I haven’t used it in a while but I remember it being a lot more customizable than the digital Project Life app and has some fun stamp add-ons. She has a couple of other apps and they all work together. It hadn’t been updated in a while last I checked but I still enjoyed using it for the most part.

I remember thinking then that this was quite materialistic, showy, and odd. Again, gag. Now she’s 20 some years older and still quite materialistic, showy, and odd. I don't know the page you're talking about specifically, but I have to admit that I save tags and packaging all the time if they have cool designs. Usually the higher-end brands (note: not talking about Chanel or anything, I don't buy anything that expensive, just talking Gap vs. Hanes or something) have nicer tags because they can afford thicker paper and/or special effects (like foil). To me, I love looking back on this stuff because it reminds me of an era. In the current moment you're in, the logo or design may seem normal, but ten years from now, it will be a mini time capsule. If I were a professional scrapbooker, I'm not sure I'd feature tags like this on a layout (because I'd wouldn't want to look like I'm bragging), but again, these are relatively mid-priced brands, NOT Gucci or Chanel, so it doesn't seem quite that crazy to me, especially if they were nice/colorful tags. YMMV, just throwing another perspective out there. I agree that because of her other behaviors, this shows a pattern, but that practice in itself doesn't seem so bad.
