    The absolute SAPs who claim everyone who doesnt fawn over Rosies new release saying people are jealous are so dense. They'd buy into anything. I actually almost got into a row with one girl about it only I actually have a life and my own brain. These people wouldnt buy their used tissues if they boxed and sold them. Sheep.
    Don't be a jellas hater Ray! Stop tearing a woman down by questioning anything she does.

    There is also a site called China suppliers or Alibaba. You can basically select say for eg. Eye shadow pallets at a dollar or so each once you buy minimum amount . Them you customise the colours you want and the packaging etc.

    It drives me mad how Fairy has to snap show us the snaps from her followers when they've bought her lipgloss or are praising her relationship or whatever. It's so cringe. Yea we get it- people bought your lippies. Fab. It's not interesting to see.
    One girl snapped her last night and it was almost a subtle dig but I don't think she even copped, it was like "when I was 13 I misspelt gorgeous as well and ever since I say georgeous"..
    I read it as though the carry on of you Joanne is like a teenager.

    She just posted a few videos of the fairy wands, she's obviously trying to push them again now that Rosie has released her own brushes.

    Also saw a snap from a follower who didn't even look that young saying she couldn't wait for Joanne to marry Paul...Wow.

    No coincidence that MUF is showing off all her vegan friendly blah blah brushes one day after Rosie's launch 😂😂🙈

    Word from a little bird at the beauty show told me that Luna was jammed with Lisa Jordan, crown brush and blank canvas were heaving, ciara daly was busy and Nima was in fire. Joanne's brushes were reduced to either 50 or 60 and not one person at the stand

    I dunno who's worse. The saps that send those kind of snaps, or Joanne for sharing them.

    Joannes stuff is so gimmicky and juvenile in design (fairy wands, pixie pout) that it really only appeals to youngsters, who won't have the kind of disposable needed to afford her products.

    On the other hand, while I wouldn't buy Luna or Rosie Connolly either, their stuff is far classier and mature looking and I'd go for one of their products rather than Joanne if push came to shove.

    I wonder who she has working at her stand for her seeing as she makes such a big deal out of being a one woman show. Probably her mum I'm thinking.


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


    By right she should have flown over and stood by her own stand herself. It's only an hour flight. If she believes in her own products that much then she should take it upon herself to sell them herself. Her priorities are all over the place. It's not as if she's doing anything else.

    But that's because those stands were manned with known faces. I wasn't at the show but I've seen snaps. Lisa Jordan was at the Luna stand, Rosie Connolly was apparently at her stand, Blank Canvas had Jen from TooDolly makeup and Sinead from the Makeup Chair both doing make up looks while Emma from Mastering your makeup was a model for a demo there too.

    They were all there building a brand. Hers were discounted and just left there to sell themselves, and they weren't.


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


    It's a bit shocking she wasn't there to sell her brand, even if she's not continuing with the brushes, she has those fairly new lipglosses to promote and with Lisa Jordan launching hers, it was a very bad business move not to be there

    I think the PixiePout is dropped to €19.99, which is a huge drop from €34.99.

    Saw MUFs lipgloss sets in Sam McCauleys and they are tiny! Nearly half the size of normal ones - while they are €35 for 3 colours and a gloss i think they are very over priced for the size of them. Waiting around for reviews of Lisa Jordans ones - i feel they will do very well - she picked a nice colour selection.


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


    It used to be a bit more fun and a bit more of a free space but lately if you say anything remotely negative about any of them, you get jumped on. There are a lot of smaller and wannabie bloggers on there that obviously don't want to upset the apple cart.

    (I agree on the getting that invested in a strangers life, Ive seen people say their kids recognise bloggers voices...)


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


    She should have flown over yday morning and flown back tonight! Very bad business decision in her behalf! I know none of her fans will give a crap and still buy her stuff. Don't think she even put up a picture of her stand? <snip> She has said for months she will do a video of both her products and still nothing from either. She seems to be more interested in traveling to a different country every month and buying designer bags then doing stuff for her business! Each to their own but doubt she will get to far!!

    So true. As painful as she was during her "girl boss" phase at least she had some drive and motivation. I feel she has completely lost herself.

    I reckon fairy is reading, she has a snap up saying that the reason the lip kits were so cheap over the weekend is because it was a TRADE show .....

    She then goes on to say there will be discounts on her tour :pac:

    Yes just thought that too!


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


    That Galz who snap page is the most cringy thing I've ever come across I cant keep my eyes off it though! Some posts in there "So happy for Rosie moving house" "cant wait for Sue & Dyl's wedding" "Just ordered my new Aluxe sunnies so excited! " "Faces by grace's daughter is soooo cute"
    How can you be excited for a strangers life? Baffling

    I was looking at Chris' (Grace's fella) Instagram there a while ago and he has the video up of the child walking. The comments underneath would make you cringe. People tagging their friends being like "I cried" etc...
    So embarrasing and creepy. I'd find it soooo odd if randomers were commenting that on my niece's videos and I'd be having a word with my sister.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 436 ✭✭Ray37


    I am confused. She posted up 2 snaps totally contradicting one another, saying that her discounts at the Beauty Show were coz it was a trade show, but she is also discounting her stuff on her pharmacy 'tour' (I can't believe I just typed those words).... I wonder are some followers annoyed they paid around e35 for stuff she is now flogging for less than e20. Again, the tour and discounts make me think the stuff isn't selling well. It's such childish branding too, I can't understand why anyone would want it in their makeup bah tbh.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,089 ✭✭✭✭LizT


    <removed>

    She's doing a tour soon promoting her lipsticks so that's obviously not the reason why.

    I'm no fan of hers at all but the obsession with her is just ridiculous. She barely has to open her mouth and people are jumping on what she says.

    I’m really guilty of liking childish things like Hello Kitty and Sailor Moon etc and I’m a real sucker for pink and glitter (AND I’m 27 :P) but if I was to release makeup, my packaging wouldn’t even look like that. I would want it to really chic and actually age appropriate. Her branding is really off putting to me. It’s almost like she’s back in the montessori class and selling to children.

    Same here Tea! I love cute stuff like that, but I keep it to my mugs and things like that. To each their own but I'd never be interested in childish looking cosmetics, not my style at all.

    Exactly. To me her stuff looks like the makeup you get for kids tbh

    Hey guys, just wanna claryify I wasnt trying to be nasty re the no photos comment, I've actually heard stuff along these lines so was just half wondering aloud. Every single pic is photoshopped to death and no photos that arent taken by herself are shared. Just wanted to let yas know my thinking :-)
