    Hahaha yes! She said she would be spending an hour and a half to teach people how to use it! Like is it that different than other eyeshadow palettes or is it such bad quality that it takes 90 minutes to be thought how to use it!!? I'm guessing the second. That snapchatting did her no favours in my eyes!!

    Also found it really bizarre that she said that when she's going out with her friends, she does neutral make up and throws on jeans and a cardi while they're having drinks, and then after they've had a few, she glams up her make up and puts on a dress..Like who does that when they're getting ready for a night out, it makes no sense? :confused::confused:

    I can't believe she said come to my master class to learn how to use my palette. Like spend more money to come learn use a basic palette made for "the average consumer". What? The height of cheek.

    I dunno did she exactly say that! She said she is doing a video tonight to show how to use it (how it's different to any other eywshadows I don't know, i swatched omit out of cusosity! Feel the same as any eyeshadow, quite powdery and had rubbed of pretty much straight away just left a bit of a bruise like stain!). And why she made it the way it is and how it's different! Looking forward to that!! Then said she is going to do and hour and a half at her show/masterclass whatever it's called using all her products!

    The bit I didn't get was - she said they were so pigmented that why they were so powdery. Then that they weren't to pigmented so that you didn't have to blend, easier to use! Is that not a contradiction? Or maybe I took it up wrong!

    Sorry can't quote wendydoll....can you put a link to the earrings/clutch bag as I love them and would buy from alixpress if I had link.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 856 ✭✭✭idunno78


    Just search tassel earrings or Pom Pom earrings! They come up ;) I had a nose!!!


    I'm sure they would have to pay customs in the stuff they bring in so that would up the price!? Still annoying tho when u could buy yourself for 1.4 price!!!!

    Omg, I went and had a look on AliExpress and searched for 'beaded clutch bag' and I found a bag for 14euro and it's on Jennifer Wrynne's website for 79.95!! Same picture and everything!!

    It's the Roisin bag if you're wondering.

    I bought the tassel earrings and some of the necklaces she sells from ali express. They arrived within 10- 14 days. No customs, no postage fee (and there was a postage fee it was only the cost of a stamp etc) so I doubt she's paying customs unless she's ordered 1000's of them. But I ordered 3 statement necklaces and 7 sets of tassel earrings and there was no further charges


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 856 ✭✭✭idunno78


    Good to know! I assumed when you ordered more then what they would consider 'personal' you would have to pay customs!

    Right? Why would you get yourself dressed and made-up twice for the one night out? All my friends and I, we get ready once. Whatever we're wearing out, that's what we put on for pre-drinks. Who wants to be trying to get changed and putting more makeup on when you're on your way out the door after a few jars? You'd never leave the house!

    I wouldn't trust myself putting on more make up after a few drinks, I'd end up looking like Ru Paul


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,039 ✭✭✭✭retro:electro


    Wow I looked up those bags on AliExpress. Exact same bags. Mad


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 439 ✭✭Wexy86


    Jennifer could have at least used her own photo - same book in the background!

    I know. Looks so lazy and with such a high mark up in price you'd think you'd at least retake the photos


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 218 ✭✭gossipgirl10


    It's the exact same with CODs new brand search tassel earring or gold crown on ali express and they come up on the first page these people aren't even trying very hard at finding these products and people are so quick to jump and buy them. COD is selling stuff at 10x or even 15x what they are on aliexpress.

    What these people are doing is curating a nice brand of items from china that I'd say are penneys quality when you see them in real life. And all the other bloggers are featuring the earrings etc because they've clearly gotten freebies. And of course if you are buying things for 2 online you have more ability to send out freebies than someone who is making things from scratch

    Who's COD?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 218 ✭✭gossipgirl10


    Sorry COD = Ciara O'Doherty she has jewellery and hairbands and stuff out that are all straight from aliexpress.
    I was looking at Aluxe website and was impressed by the huge number of stockists she has around the country and then I saw there was a link saying for stockist enquiries contact Distinct Distribution. Went to their site and clicked on their brochure and was surprised to see another Aluxe product in there that as far as I know hasn't been mentioned/released before??
    Also, based on the wholesale prices in the brochure for stockists she must be sourcing them for really, really cheap to be making any sort of a profit on them?

    Brilliant, great find!! That fan brush looks brutal. Also that is a serious markup to RRP.

    mod I've removed the link to the product brochure as it was for trade purposes only.

    It must have been an oversight somewhere because surely anyone interested in stocking the product would pop along, look there and see the brushes. Then they would be easily leaked, I'm surprised they haven't before now! I would be raging if I was her.

    What's this ye are on about?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 856 ✭✭✭idunno78


    New release from aluxe, a brush set.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 751 ✭✭✭Gal44


    The beautiful truth bringing out a new range of something... wonder what it will be

    Yes I'm curious what this is! I think she said it was beauty related. Said it was 100% Irish made, mentioned Galway and working with an Irish uni. So sweet, she was fit to burst with excitement on snapchat!!


    I know she's not the type of person to get a dig at others but even that much information divulged is a stark contrast to other bloggers who release white label and Aliexpress products.


    The very best of luck to her, she's some woman between blogging, teaching, rearing a child etc and now releasing a product.

    She mentioned it ages ago while she was on holiday too. Something about it being an item she wanted and couldn't find so she designed it.

    Im guessing its some kind of holder maybe?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 709 ✭✭✭frogstar


    I'm intrigued to know what it is. I really do hate all the ohh I have a product etc.. But can't say what it is. I originally thought it might have been baby related, not now from today's snaps

    If a holder, perhaps a holder for hairdryer, curler, ghd etc... That's something I could do with


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 783 ✭✭✭jockeyboard


    I can't see brush set??


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 709 ✭✭✭frogstar


    I can't see brush set??


    I don't think its released or announced

    The other poster found a link to a trade distribution list (publicly available on RC website)

    On this site it had trade prices for RC sunglasses and other products that are known. There was also a page or two on RC makeup brush set. This is what has been mentioned but not released I believe to public yet
