So when toys r us closed. The cashier saw that i was gonna buy a bunch of toys and gave me 75%off. I bought about $350 with of toys and paid around $37 because the stuff was already lightly discounted. Her response was "what are they gonna do? Fire me!". She was doing it with everyone.

I think it's more than that. I see it more as a mixture of multiple controversies, expanding into completely unrelated categories (I see Revolution heading in this direction in the near future), multiple bad launches from Morphe and related brands, and just overall novelty aspect wearing off. Morphe was a novelty and they had support from one fo the biggest beauty KZbinrs when they launched at the time. Because she expanded into her own brand, that fan base migrated with her. So did others who launched their own brands. It's a crap storm of multiple things.

After working years in retail "lease agreement issues" = they can't afford it anymore. I've only heard it twice. The first time I was blindsided but the second time we were in a team meeting and they said this phrase I knew to start dusting off my resume and started looking for a new job. Weeks later, we got the closing notice but I had already had my staff prepared. We had everyone with a new job or at least with an interview. We worked hard to make sure they had the best paychecks possible while still getting our required 40 hrs. As they slowly left to start new jobs we picked up the slack so by closing it was only a myself, the store manager and one other part time associate closing the store.

@@girlwithalaptop5690 exactly. People would like to see some type of justice, but there's usually not any with these types of things. At-will employment also means the employee can walk out at any moment, provided there is no signed contract that states otherwise. It works both ways, and I only mention it because some people don't understand employment laws (which also makes it more likely they will be & are preyed on and taken advantage of.) Furthermore, Morphe has never really shown they care about anything but maximizing profits; as such they've always looked to outsiders to help generate that income- zero regard to quality, value, or integrity. It was always doomed to implode because the standards are so low. They are only interested in making quick, easy cash. They've been successful at convincing some consumers they are of good quality & value, but that doesn't work to have a long-term, successful business. To be sure they ran through the legalities of this before they carried their decisions out.

If you have ever worked retail or restaurant, you know this isn't uncommon. I have shown up for my shift and found out the store was closed for good because the door was locked, the lights were off, and the manager wasn't answering their phone. This is why every company can kiss my ass when they want a two week notice. Hell no. For all I know this store is closing tomorrow and you're not gonna tell anyone so they can prepare.

Yes, in addition to this and for those of you who are not aware, the 2 week notice is not a requirement but a courtesy to the workplace... IF you want a nice reference, lol. If you don't care about a reference from them or a friend can do it for you, just leave. Businesses don't care about you as a human being or as an employee (you are infinitely replaceable, the building won't crumble if you leave, etc.) so its pointless to go the extra mile unless you're paid for it.

The hard truth is that there is so much make up anyone can use in a lifetime. Make up expires, life changes and people move on. Nobody has time for elaborate looks everyday. Less glamorous brands know than, that's why they don't make a lot of eyeshadows. They put their efforts on mascara and foundation because those are the things everyone needs to buy over and over again. Same for M.A.C and make-up forever. Also MAC brushes are unmatched. They are expensive for a reason! I'm seriously considering to change all of my brushes to mac brushes.

Say what yall want about Morphes product quality, but I've always thought they were great for the price. Sephora and Mac brushes will run at least $30+ for almost near quality brushes. I have had Mac brushes that went loose on me while I still have brushes from Morphe from back in 2015 from HauteLook (kudos if you know what that is lol) that work great! Morphe def served its purpose in my life for when I was working hard to become a makeup artist. Im now a pro makeup artist and still purchase Morphe shadows from time to time. Makeup expires and even if I have the cash to dish out $500+ on eyeshadows every year, it is not practical. They are great for the price, and even if its made in China for less, there is not a lot of brands out there that are affordable with decent quality. Wet & Wild and Elf eyeshadows are NOT it and if youre an MUA, you know this 😅 I wish they would give answers to the workers , they dont deserve to be treated like this.

They were my only source of "knowledge" makeup wise back then and I spent all my time consuming their content so questioning them seemed out of the question for me. It makes so much more sense in retrospect and I'm quite thankful that they're finally dying off because of how shady they are, but I feel horrible for all these employees left in the dark.

I don't know if a lot of people know this, but Nyx also had retail stores (though not as many as morphe) I worked at one in a mall. Actually really loved the job. They closed a lot of stores at the beginning of 2020 closed all of them during covid. They made us sign a NDA that made us tell our customers that we would still be open, even though we were having 70% off sales for the whole store.

It is illegal to close all their stores with no notice. There are laws about laying off a % number of your employees without notice. You can only close so many stores/locations or lay off a certain amount of people under your business with less than 2 month's notice and no severance. Best Buy and Game Stop both are in the middle of multi million dollar lawsuits for doing something similar, I'm sure there will be lawyers reaching out to these people sooner rather than later about a class action lawsuit against Morphe.

this was a LONG time coming. they had their biggest sales from jeffree star and shane dawson but then morphe dropped them not even a whole year after that. it was after that, influencers decided not to trust morphe if they’re gonna drop them like that. not only that, but it was around the time skin care was becoming very popular and people weren’t wearing makeup out that much cause everyone was stuck inside. morphe had also made a huge mistake by keeping james as a partner even after if it was revealed he’s a groomer. they waited wayyy too long to say anything or even do anything about it. that turned a lot of people away from morphe even more. morphe was already failing cause their prices were astronomical and people were struggling to even pay for their rent at the time. morphe honestly deserves it. this goes to show the age of influencer products/merch is really coming to an end. i’m interested to see who or what goes next. 2023, let’s see

The Vanity situation came to light in June the year after the JSCxSD collab. I'd rather not describe it in details bc it was very gross and I don't remember all the details of it. You can look it up if you want. Lots of people were pushing for retailers to drop JSC after that and Morphe was weirdly reluctant to do it, for weeks if not months. Afaik plenty of ppl stopped buying from Morphe as a result of that weird delay and then Morphe had some weird asf phrasing regarding droppping his stuff. Some thought JS was possibly an investor in the brand (I don't remember how things went down exactly, if I did I'd share it here) and didn't want to support them if that was the case. Then on top of that you've got the changes in makeup trends you mentioned. Underneath all of this was the change of ownership which (I've heard) changed the dynamics bts. Apparenly lots of influencers slowly stopped promoting Morphe bc the new owners didn't keup up with the relationship maintenance like the previous owners had. No one seems to know why all the influencers were dropped though.

I own both the original JH and the small JC palette.

No real way for me to get the money back from Morphe or anyone, so *shrug* on that part. However, seeing what the store employees had to deal with is just enraging.

I bought one pallete from Morphe and it was one of the worst pallets I've ever owned. Weirdly enough a lot of people had only good things to say about it on KZbin... Idk...I even bought the Jeffree brushes back then and they weren't worth the money. Rather should've have bought more Real Techniques brushes. But in my opinion it's always sad when a brand suffers like this, because there are usually people behind it who put their whole energy and time into it. People who believed in what they were doing. (The shadiness is not ok though.)

This happens ALL the time and is nothing new. SalesForce just laid off 8,000 employees, and Facebook nearly 11,000. And let us not forget how many businesses closed during Covid. Makeup isn’t as booming as it once was and we’ve seen brands like Becca Cosmetics (who has been around longer) even close for good. Minimal makeup is “in” which means it’s trendy to wear less. Morphe is inside almost every Ulta store now and do most of their sales online, so a stand-alone store probably doesn’t make sense. If people “show up” and the store was cleared of all product, that wasn’t corporate sneaking in overnight. Clearly their managers didn’t tell them and the people working the late shifts to clear that product out knew. It’s unfortunate, but a pretty normal thing in America to close stores. Some people wait as long as they can to come up with solutions but there aren’t any, which result in short notices.

I do hate to admit it, some of my morphe pallets were my absolute favorite, but between attaching themselves so strongly to the influencer trend (and thus their controversies) without a fall back when that fell through, to the way they've treated their employees and the downturn in a lot of places of makeup with sus ingredients as people are really focusing on the stuff they're putting on their faces and opting for more natural products...it wasn't meant to last. I feel so bad for the employees though, I do hope they'll be okay and the folks running this sham of a company get theirs.
