Anyone have any ideas what Sinéad (The Beautiful Truth) is releasing? Think she said on her Snapchat recently that she is holding off until after Christmas?

I think she's releasing three products and said one of them is one of a kind and she hasn't seen anything like it (or something to that effect anyway).

I'm intrigued by it. Excited for it too, I'm hoping one of the three products she releases is something I'll have an interest in and can purchase.

Yeah I'm excited by this too. I actually have no clue what it could be. She mentioned on snapchat that she hasn't come up with a name yet so there's no point releasing it yet.

To me these threads ALWAYS take a nasty turn when a certain person involves themselves. I think we should just ignore, tbh.
And no Rosemary this isn't an invitation to converse with me. I've literally no interest in engaging in tit for tat with you. So please don't bother trying.

These threads take a nasty turn when the person being criticised by anonymous strangers shows up to (politely, I’d like to point out) defend themselves. Yeah, I can see how that would ruin the “fun”.

And while we’re all absolutely entitled to whatever opinions we hold about other people, and boards facilitates the anonymous publication of said opinion, the person in question is equally entitled to respond.

I have literally only responded in the last 24 hours because I felt like I should clarify a few things. I haven’t been hostile or overly defensive, I don’t think, and honestly I don’t see how you can think it’s reasonable to criticise someone you don’t know while then thinking it’s unreasonable for them to respond.

I’m kind of done now, except to say: I’ve only commented to correct things that are simply wrong. I get that some people strongly dislike me. They’re entitled to that. I’ve ignored umpteen posts in which my personality is torn to shreds. But I don’t have to – I ignore it because, honestly, there’s no point fighting about how I’m actually a semi decent person and don’t think I deserve this vitriol from faceless, nameless strangers. I don’t think that will ever get through to you.

But don’t assume that I will always sit back and stay quiet. I’m entitled to defend myself and I won’t shut up just because I’m aggravating some anonymous strangers who love giving out about me on an online forum.

MuffinTop86 · 03-10-2017 06:55PM

What difference does it make that it's anonymous strangers?
You were on the verge of saying love and light there!
But you hate that positive vibes only thing. Or you did recently, maybe that's all changed.

qxtasybe1nwfh2 · 03-10-2017 06:55PM

Did she mention somewhere before that it was candles. I could be making that up because I don’t know why it’s in my head! I would be super interested in house stuff, I’m sick of seeing beauty releases, I think the market is beyond saturated.

Could it be clothes either? I don’t watch her snap a lot so I feel I’ve missed all the clues!

idunno78 · 03-10-2017 06:58PM

I wonder would it be her highlighter on its own? That would be v smart move!
But they way it's called a collection doubt that so prob clothes? Maybe t-shirts? Or PJs! Really it could be anything!! She did say it's not demin!
I think it's being launched when the pop up in dundrum opens!
Not to start up the other 'thing' again. But Rosemary has every right to come and stick up for herself!!

I think you missed my point; I wasn’t saying that people shouldn’t criticise. I was saying that, while you get to anonymously post about other people, you don’t automatically get to do so without them responding / defending themselves.

I’ve never seriously said love and light in my life! I totally get b*tching about people who annoy you, I do it too. I just either give out online, as myself, under my own name, or offline by text to my friends, privately. And I guess I think people who feel the need to broadcast their dislike of others, without having enough courage of their convictions to do so under their own name, don’t really deserve their “safe space”.

Poco is opening again in Dundrum for the Christmas market. The homewares market is pretty saturated as well, everyone and anyone seems to have their name in it, even zoella the YouTube v logger has a homewares collection.

FWIW I have no idea what Pippa’s new product is. Homewares would be a good shout cos people love her interior style but it’d be a bit of a mad side step from beauty and fashion and essentially be starting over with suppliers, distributors etc so I’d kind of be surprised!

Yes but the beauty and fashion market are overcrowded. She was very brave to launch a jeans brand and fair play to her but it shows how very well thought out that was. So I can see her doing something in homeware and with her own brand name she will have no problem with suppliers or distributors, they will all want a piece of whatever she comes up with.

RoisinClare6 · 03-10-2017 07:08PM

Let's get on back on topic guys, before we get shut down.

I've an itchy feeling that JJ, MUF and Poppa will all bring out home ranges

wendydoll · 03-10-2017 07:12PM

I'm guessing Pippa will launch small bits for homeware, candles, cushions things like that. Think she'd do well in that

LizT · 03-10-2017 07:21PM

I think Pippa's new launch will be homewares or something lifestyle related. It would be a good idea as I think the whole blogger releasing make up thing is done. I personally wouldn't buy any make up made by bloggers, purely because the prices are similar enough to some of the high end brands. I'd rather pay a few euro extra and get the likes of MAC, Urban decay etc. Plus it's really hard to find decent, honest reviews about blogger products so you never know if they're actually good or if someone is just being a fan girl.

Don't know what the beautiful truth is releasing but I hope it's not make up! She did say it's something unique though. I really like Sinead so if it's even half decent, I'd try to support her by buying it.

Sunny Dayz · 03-10-2017 07:22PM

I wonder is Pippa launching something in the loungewear category? You know like the slouchy bottoms and tops you relax in at home. She often wears some around the house you can see from Snapchat. It would fit in with her POCO stores and sell well on the run up the Christmas. The show house she was shooting at looked lovely.

Maybe something like Pink from Victoria's Secret? That would sell well if the price point was a little bit more accessible than POCOs

idunno78 · 03-10-2017 07:38PM

I'd say it is homewares! If you look at the #pippacollection on Instagram one of the photos had #homewares in it! Could be completely wrong tho but seen as most of ye have said that I think ye are all right!

laylag · 03-10-2017 07:45PM

I hope I like Sinead from beautiful truth products. She is my favourite blogger by a mile and I have genuine found some fab products because of her recommendations.

I definetly think it's this. If you look at her Snapchat from yesterday she put up a pic of her and Ollie from her camera roll and she was wearing lounge wear and cosy socks. This was right before the snap where she revealed the new Pippa logo.

MuffinTop86 · 03-10-2017 07:58PM

I don't think Pippa would be bringing out loungewear purely bacause she's said at her fashion factories (i heard, never been to one) that tracksuits should only be worn for exercise. Now I don't think it was meant as a dig at everyone wearing leggings all day, it would just kinda seem odd to then bring out comfy wear.

I thought it might besomething to complement the jeans like a belt or shoe range, i haven't a clue though really.

Lexie you’re hilarious – it’s like you have a notebook with every single thing I’ve ever said!

The fact is, Ireland has a higher rate of a lot of diseases (CF, psoriasis as two examples) because of our narrow gene pool, ie the fact that, genetically speaking, we are pretty inbred. Go back 150 years and you would be hard pressed to find many partners who weren’t related to one another going back just one generation. It wasn’t a slur I was making on people with psoriasis, it was a fact.

I hope you show a little more sesitivity / tact if you have 'inbred' clients with psoriasis. The condition is depressing and sore enough without a bloggers medical research into the journals

On a more positive note, I think Pippa also might have homeware on way

heyjude88 · 03-10-2017 10:24PM

Could it be kids clothing? Or else lounge wear! The photo she shared of herself And Oie was way too professional to be an off the cuff photo taken at home. Her make up and hair was immaculate !

Cria · 03-10-2017 10:34PM

Definitely thinking homeware

theoldbreed · 03-10-2017 10:34PM

Jeez guys can we give up on Rosemary. We get it, some of you reeeeeally don't like her. It's so uncomfortable and embarrassing to read through it all. It's similar with the MUF. I like general chat about their blogs etc, not ripping their looks and personalities apart. I said before I'm not a fan but fair play for coming on here and engaging.

On a side note, I think Pippa will release loungewear, I hope so anyway!

SpillingTheTea · 03-10-2017 10:39PM

I really don’t want any more makeup being brought out to the market. I feel like homewares are probably the best avenue now. Every time I log onto Snapchat/Insta, all I see is makeup, fit tea and PT’s.
Something more substantial is what the market needs I think.

GingerLily · 03-10-2017 10:43PM

When is she announcing? If any of them could pull off homeware it would be pippa, her fans would be the perfect demographic for that market

Siobhnk · 03-10-2017 10:46PM

I'm dying to know what Sinead is releasing.

Whatever Pippa is selling, be it homeware or lounge wear, I'm sure it'll be classy. She has a good eye.

Not half as embarrassing as reading through all the arse kissing.
Sorry now but before yesterday Rosemary wasn't even mentioned on here for months. So your comment is inaccurate. Obviously she has every right to join the discussion, but don't be surprised when she is then, shock horror, discussed.
Personal comments have been dealt with.

Anyway, moving on..
I'm thinking she'll bring out like an "ambience" range. Like a chill out vibe. Cushions, lounge wear, candles etc... it'll suit her and her aesthetic perfectly.

Seemed a bit childish to come on and "defend" herself. Why would you even bother? If you put yourself out in the public eye you have expect people will be talking about you both positivity or negatively.

We discuss many bloggers and they don't feel the need to come on and defend themselves or single a few boardies out for comments made on the thread. And if she wanted to make comments, do so on your original board account, don't just set one up to pick the thread apart

Pippa's brand will take off no matter what she launches. She's the King Midas of bloggers. At least she seems to put more thought in the products she launches and she seems to know how important sticking her name on products is and she stands behind the things she launches.

MuffinTop86 · 03-10-2017 11:13PM

Pippa would be considered classy and always presents herself well whereas the others are all very similar and much skankier in dress sense and taste etc.

blairbear · 03-10-2017 11:15PM

Bar one comment on her appearance, there was very little objectionable said about Rosemary. More is said about Sue/Rosie/MUF on a daily basis.

That being said, were I in her shoes, I would come on and give my viewpoint.

We are allowed discuss her business though. We have discussed Sue's palette at length, Rosie's sunglasses, MUF's brushes etc.

Registering a boards account just to give out to posters having a discussion is childish, and not adhering to the rules of this forum.

SpillingTheTea · 03-10-2017 11:19PM

Funny how we have been civil for the past couple of months and not had any problems then all of a sudden there’s a sh|t storm brewing. Especially with new accounts that don’t know the rules.

ANYWAY, I haven’t heard much hype over the Aluxe brushes at all. Is it too early for people to be fawning all over them?

wendydoll · 03-10-2017 11:24PM

Us older ones love each other really, we might disagree and fall out now and again but we get over it and move on. The last few days have been horrible and sidetracked on this thread in particular.

Has there been much hype from Rosie and the brushes. Haven't seen her plugging them, saying that I have no snapchat at present but hardly anything on insta about them.

I'm sick of looking at everyone opening their chupi gifts though
