How to Spot Fake Beauty Products on Amazon: Tips and Advice

wired.com Boutayna Chokrane 2025-08-07 18:00:00

You’d expect your pimple patches to heal blemishes, not cause them. But when you're buying beauty products on Amazon, there’s a risk you’re getting more than you bargained for. And you wouldn’t be alone. According to a 2023 study from Michigan State University, nearly seven in 10 consumers were fooled into purchasing counterfeit items online. That same year, Amazon reported blocking more than 700,000 attempts by “bad actors” trying to open new storefronts and seizing more than 7 million counter

Dyson, techno-centric design and social consumption

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-08-09 12:45:15

7th July 2025 As a design engineer I’ve spent plenty of time mulling over what ‘good’ design is. The question is complex and is a starting point for reflecting on our role as designers, how design should interact with society and what even constitutes design! I recently visited the Glasgow Zine Festival and picked up a wee zine about one man’s hatred of James Dyson, which has inspired me to put some of my own thoughts on the topic down in words.

The company tests at least 10,000 iPhones prior to launch in an attempt to cover all the bases.
