Kids these days…. Well, it seems as though kids desperately want to be older than they actually are. Yet, when we were kids, we remember playing with dolls and going outside with our friends. Kids these days will be on their iPhone 16 Pro Max and making GRWM’s (Get Ready with Me’s) using their hundreds of dollars’ worth of beauty products.
It appears the parents don’t do anything to enforce their kids that they don’t need those products. Instead, they go ahead and buy the products for them which are a ton of money.
As someone who started having acne at the age of 12 and needed some skincare products to help clear it up and to just overall take care of my skin, seeing 8-year-olds who probably don’t wear deodorant yet walking out of the store with huge Sephora bags, makes me really annoyed.
Think of it, little girls in Sephora shopping for things they don’t need. Some Sephora’s that are in the Bucks County area aren’t very big and a lot are inside Kohl’s, so when trying to shop for stuff for yourself or someone else is almost impossible because there’s nothing left on the shelfs.
Now this could be because the product is very popular or because the Sephora kids bought them because everyone has them on TikTok. But what is the need for all these products? Is it because everyone else has them or do you actually need them?
A little gift from Sephora can be great for someone that age for their birthday or the holidays, consisting with some lip balms/lip glosses and maybe a body mist from Sol de Janeiro. That seems like the normal thing to do, however, it seems like Saturdays are the day that their mommy’s take them to Sephora for a “treat.”
On those Saturdays, they buy as much makeup and skincare as they possibly can, and then go home and film a TikTok giving their haul of what they got hoping to go viral. Once they actually do their makeup, it looks a hot mess.
You can’t help but ask yourself, did anyone teach them how to do their makeup? It almost makes me kind of sad because when I wanted to start using makeup, my mom taught me how to do it. Like, do these parents not care?
If you’re the parents buying the products, maybe you should teach them how to use them first. Will there be a solution to this? There is no real solution.
It’s not that easy for these Millennial parents to do anything to stop these Gen Alpha kids from buying whatever they want. They might not even be aware of the fact that their children are annoying every generation with their Sephora obsession.
Every generation might just have to deal with this, even if it’s annoying. But, at least, when these kids grow up, they’ll make fun of themselves just as how we do now.
