I literally want the whole collection! This is the difference between Desi and Katy (and I suppose Anna from Dose of Colours) and our bloggers, they actually made a video of the whole process of making the product and the packaging etc and that makes me so much more interested because they actually are hands on.

I need to get my hands on the desi and Katy collection it looks amazing and the prices of these established brands like dose of colors are about the same as sosueme and the make up fairys products
That's what baffles me you can buy brands like Anastasia Beverly Hills dose of colors colourpop ect for the same or less than the Irish bloggers why do people pay that money for these girls who are not well known outside of Ireland ,,,
It's the same with Rosie connellys aluxe glasses they are on wish for €2 and people are paying €15 it makes me wonder what type of person would rather pay €15 for something worth €2

I completely agree. Personally, I'd rather buy a few liquid lipsticks from colourpop or Dose of Colors instead of enchantbyjl. It's not really a stab at MUF, it's just, I don't think I like the colour selections and I don't think the quality is worth the price point, whereas Dose of Colors and Colourpop are tried and tested and have a great selection of colours that you can choose what's good for you personally. Not to mention the prices are grand!

But aren't all her other products white label? She confirmed it in an Independent article last year (after being asked). She had made the same claims about all of those products too, that they were developed "from scratch".
I understand taking a product to market still requires a lot of work and she still had to be involved in the design etc. but don't claim you were involved in the forumulation process. It just makes you look like a liar.
She said the same thing about her wedding dress, that she designed it with Hailey Page in 3 months. I was dubious and then lo and behold on her blog she says that she took parts of Hailey's designs from other dresses and brought them together (corset from one, skirt from another). That is NOT designing a dress. That's picking parts you like from others and a designer using their skills to blend them together

Her lash case is the exact same as the House of Lashes one.

Oh That's interesting to know Lexie.

Its very strange, some of her packaging etc is near identical to other brands so surely there would be copyright if she developed from scratch.

(the above example being one, it's almost identical but there are some changes to the border..every second detail and the corners, the design is pointed. Id find it hard to believe that these weren't produced in the same place and/or picked out of the same catalogue. Either way, it aint designed from scratch...just like her wedding dress.

Has MUF ever claimed that her products aren't white label I wonder?

In this post she implies that the lip kits aren't white labelled...

The easy route is to simply buy in an existing product and slap your name on the packaging but I'll always chose the hard, creative, albeit long winded route. Holding something in your hands you designed from scratch in your mind is an incredible feeling.

I wonder why she is selling them through easilocks rather then her own webiste like the brushes?

The one thing I don't get about people bringing out there products is why they don't show the whole process! Or make blog posts about it! When u blog everything but don't blog that it is a bit suss I think?

I forgot she sold them through easilocks. Funnily enough, Charlotte Crosby's makeup range is through them too. I had a look at her liquid lipstick swatches on the site, and some of the colours are similar to MUF's too

yea

Yes, it would be an easy way to show it's not white label. Funny how they never do it...

Suzanne commented in a beauty group on Facebook saying again that her make up isn't private labelled, and that her contour pallete was copied. She called anyone who said it was a white label job a busy body.

I'd have a lot more respect for her if she stopped all of this and just said it was white labelled. But it's gone too far. If it wasn't private labelled I'm sure she would have shown the behind the scenes in the lab etc. I'm actually not sure she knows the meaning of private labelling.

Beauty Boxx

She never said she had her own lab, just that it was not white labelled. I'd imagine if she did make it from scratch like she claims, she'd be sharing a lab like Kylie and Jeffree, it's really only big brands like MAC/Estee Lauder that'd have their own labs

Yeah see that's what I'm wondering, is she getting confused by thinking that picking the shades individually/choosing their finish is making it from scratch. As in she didn't just pick a ready made palette from a catalogue and pop SOSU on it. Either way if she didn't develop the formula, it ain't made from scratch.

And yep the palette she was referring to was Charlotte Crosbys! Someone posted a picture of it comparing.

Holly Carpenter has created a new brand "LoveLift". I'm not mad on the name. Any ideas what it could be? More WL stuff?!
