‘Darling’.
Why does she/her marketing team talk to the rest of us like we’re imbeciles.

It’s everywhere! On her website/FB/Instagram

Is it just me?

I love her make up and I love her tutorials, she’s so lovely and very passionate about her products. I also love her ‘beautiful before/beautiful after’ reveals, I think she is always very complimentary about her guests/models and using her make up to enhance your natural beauty.

However I absolutely loathe the the pillow talk advert. The song is so annoying but also catchy and I catch myself singing it which also really annoys me 😆

I thought she’d sold out to one of the big cosmetics companies?

Thanks @Poonmig!

Is the magic cream light really that good darlings?

Apparently RRP is £75! ConfusedGrin

Who is she?

BrilloPaddy · 14/08/2021 13:23

I bought a set of make up after reading glowing recommendations on here.

Worst make up I've ever bought... the mascara in particular was horrific, it stuck my eye lashes together and I looked like a panda wearing it. I sent it back thinking it was faulty but the new one was exactly the same.

Rimmel quality in high end packaging. She's a triumph of marketing, that's for sure.

StarDrawers · 14/08/2021 13:26

Buy a sample of the magic cream before you shell out for a pot. I like it as it works as a bit of a primer for me but I know other people who break out with it or hate the smell.

StarDrawers · 14/08/2021 13:26

Mystery boxes are fine if you're prepared to sell on the stuff you don't want on ebay and don't mind if you get the weird left over colours.

She has, and it's noticeable now it's just turned into a quick how much new stuff can we create and how much more pillow talk stuff can we flog
Blossomtoes · 14/08/2021 13:28

@RogueV

Hmm I must say I am tempted with her Mystery box! Or is it like you say overpriced crap?
It’s overpriced, over hyped crap. Save your money for a decent brand and try before you buy.
2389Champ · 14/08/2021 13:36

Without digressing too much, does anyone else get pissed off with these ads that pop up on Facebook (including CT) that show you how ‘simple and quick’ it is to apply XYZ makeup when clearly the model is either already made up or so unbelievably beautiful anyway that if you drew a moustache and glasses on her with an eyebrow pencil, she would still be traffic stoppingly gorgeous?

StarDrawers · 14/08/2021 13:42

@2389Champ yes! Especially when it's lipsticks and the models clearly have fillers or amazingly large lips in the first place.

I am always surprised, that so many people take any notice of these so called celebrity people,the world seems to be full of them now. I suppose they know, that the world is full of followers now, and they can make big money off them.

Urban Decay, every time.

SaharaFlower · 14/08/2021 14:04

I lie: Mac & YSL too. Charlotte Tilbury isn't good make up. Fenty is also really bad.

LaurieFairyCake · 14/08/2021 14:05

The new mystery box is £137 isn't it ?

SaharaFlower · 14/08/2021 14:07

@LaurieFairyCake : Fuck. That's so expensive.

Tinkletwat · 14/08/2021 14:08

I've heard she's a horror to work for. All the products seem to be over packaged which puts me off so I've never tried them.

RogueV · 14/08/2021 14:17

My usual make up consists of Nars and Mac. Got a decent urban decay palette.

I’m glad you’ve all talked me out of the mystery box. The colours probably look shit on brown skin as well.

Thanks darlings

If you want to treat yourself with beauty mystery @RogueV, save up and buy yourself the Liberty beauty advent calendar. It’s a thing of beauty and 90% of the contents are amazing. It is insanely expensive though!

WhatAShilohPitt · 14/08/2021 14:28

It’s very affected. And very irritating.

RogueV · 14/08/2021 14:37

@Blossomtoes

You know I might just do that. Have lusted after it for the past few years, if I start putting pennies away now…

@Poonmig

I just received the mystery box yesterday - I was really pleased with it
What was in it please?
WorldsBestBoss · 14/08/2021 14:51

Yes it's beyond irritating and has actually put me off buying anything.
