    Lol! They look so generic. Just like every other set of brushes that have been released by everyone and their cat lately.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 249 ✭✭RoisinClare6


    You'd think that with the market being so over saturated here they would a) release something different or original. Do we really need more generic brushes? b) something of good decent quality with a great Usp

    It doesn't matter to some people they just buy it because of who released it. Drives me insane how people here couldn't give two bananas that they are being ripped off.

    Hmmm wonder is Ellen bringing out candles... I saw one on conrads snaps she hid at the end but you could see what it was!! Not my thing but it is something I noticed she is quite into so might work great for her! No one else has them either!

    What do people think of the sculpted pallet by Aimee Connolly I think her name is. Is that all white label overpriced too?

    I don't know about the pallette but the brush is really good!

    So su giving tips how to use the hot fire palette the last few days. Todays tip "don't over set your base they using the palette, a light concealer is all that is needed" is that code for they are a nightmare to blend out....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 383 ✭✭Lindy97


    She apparently was a bit miffed on her snapchat over the weekend about some reviews the palette has gotten from some MUA saying it's not very pigmented and the colours don't last and there is a lot of fall out. She made some very passive aggressive comments about how it's not made for professionals or those who like "witchy eyes"/a dark smokey eye (something she's worn herself pre-this palette) and not for major blending.... Also that she would be doing tutorials on how to use it (as they were apparently doing it wrong?), she then did her eye make up and snapped it later on, the colours had definitely faded.
    Its an eye shadow palette, you shouldn't need a tutorial on how to use it, and blending is a good thing.

    It's not the 00's, everyone knows how to blend...no one needs a tutorial or need to pay for her to show you how to use the fecking palette.

    I'd rather save my money and by the likes of make up revolutions flawless 4 palette, colours are basically the same as the hot fire palette.

    I personally would rather pay another 17euro and buy the Urban Decay Naked Heat palette tbh.

    Yeah I figured it was something along those lines alright.

    She has certainly been leading up to it the past few days with all her house move and redecorating talk. We only bothered doing up with half the house when we first moved in and now I've gotten so lazy with finishing off the rest (sure it's liveable, too much effort to clear out rooms!). I'm hoping her talk of interiors will spur me on to finish the house.

    I know! She is so lucky to have the money and resources to decorate with such lovely bits. Kinda depressing!

    Ya it's very true like MAC, urban decay etc are around for years, have teams of people developing products, have the money to put behind testing new products etc and while it is nice to support someone local if these are mass produced products bought from China for half nothing then is that really what we want to be supporting and encouraging? No matter what any of these bloggers release it will do well here because they have ready made audiences waiting to buy the product before they even know what the product is. They are friends or at least know all the other bloggers and press and media people etc so they already have an advantage on any other joe soap trying to get their name out there. None of these products have a market outside of Ireland really from what I can see apart from maybe the sosu lashes which primark stock but if you were in another country and never heard of the person behind the brand you wouldn't dream of buying these items

    Did anyone see Live Lavishly's snaps with swatches of SoSue's eye palette?

    She did finger and brush swatches.

    The lack of pigmentation is shocking for the price they cost.

    The beautiful truth has snaps up from last night about how you should swatch eyeshadow with a brush instead of your fingers. She seemed to hint that so sue has asked her to review her palette and sinead said no because she only reviews things that she gets good use out of herself :pac:

    Just watched the snaps. You are so right . She was getting her point across with out naming, but it must be Sue's. Good for Sinead, I do trust her opinions!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 252 ✭✭ciaradx


    The beautiful truth is releasing a product range too. It might be the first blogger product I actually buy! She hasn't said yet what it is but it's not not makeup, and it's 100% Irish made.

    I saw those this morning, love how she did it without naming names or being harsh.

    I can't wait to see what it is, I love Sinead and would have no bother buying her products and supporting her.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 23,646 ✭✭✭✭qo2cj1dsne8y4k


    Another sinead supporter here. Completely trust her opinions and recommendations


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


    She's a dote. I adore her. She's made of better stuff than all the others put together.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,901 ✭✭✭Gunslinger92


    She's so good for replying to snaps too, I basically told her she's the best of the lot of them and never to change and she wrote back to me and said "I won't I promise" she's a pet :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 957 ✭✭✭MuffinTop86


    SoSueMe's eyes are pretty witchy tonight, and she has done that look loads before too.
    I think she just knows the pallette is crap. It's a pity because the colours are nice, she just went cheap on the product to bulk up her own profit margin.


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


    Sosueme has released another product - fake nails. Again probably a good market for these from her followers but I feel like she's releasing so many products now that it's just becoming one big cheapy white label range. There's no way she's developing all these from scratch as much as she'd like people to think she is what with the wedding and everything else where would she have the time

    Why would you spend 9.95 on a set of nails, when Penny's do a great range of false nails for 1.50?! I don't think these will do as well. I think she's over doing it with all these new products. Just concentrate on getting one out there and promoting it properly.
