Bloggers / Influencers releasing products [Please read note in post #966]

She's not in the same league as Sue as much as she would like to think she is. I have never bought any of Sues products but I will say one thing for her, she knows how to launch and promote a product very well. You can't compete with the big guns when you don't promote your products correctly. The amount of money the likes of Pippa and Sue spend on launching a new product. No expense spared and it's done well with the media being there on the night to get the word out there. You don't organise a "tour" on a midweek day an expect a big turn out. Not sure if that was her own fault or a PR company. It makes you look like an amateur.

From what I can see, it was convenient for her to do it yesterday while over here promoting something else. I definitely think the UK market is way out of her reach and she would need to step up her game massively to compete with a lot of the Bloggers over there.

Definitely a case of it just being convenient for her as she is over here anyway for that Dibi launch. But I'll bet she thought her popularity alone would bring the masses in without any promoting ,etc. What a shock yesterday to have only a handful of people turn up. <removed>. This should be a wake up call for her to up her game and properly start working on her blog and brand.

I wonder did the elderly lady in the video buy herself any lip kits :pac:

Haha Anna. Maybe she bought the make up brushes and has since been using the star shaped bag as a handbag/pillow/ornament!!

MUF looks nicer in the video to me than she looks in her filtered pics. Lovely and natural and much more realistic!
Now I'm not going to lie, I'm fond of an ould filter myself but she definitely overdoes it a bit and doesn't need to!

Pippa looked amazing yesterday meeting Victoria Beckham.

Actually that was more bad timing on Joanne's part. I know VB's was essentially a press event - but having it on that day with such hype surrounding VB's appearance etc, made Joanne's venture look that little bit worse, imo.

This post has been deleted.

Her brushes are now reduced and once there sold out this time they are no longer available! I've never seen them on a pharmacy, wanted to see them in real life!

I love the looks of VB stuff most of the beauty bloggers showed what they got not all tho! They got quite a lot, but some bought a few bits them self which is nice to see. V expensive tho!

Does sosu do the nails varnishes anymore or are they gone now again?
Also is the Pippa pallette forgotten about. Know it's still for sale but don't really see it mentioned much by Pippa?

I must be the only person who doesn't follow Pippa! I must add her to see what all the fuss is about.

I don't follow her either!

Me neither. Nothing against her at all but I find the beautiful truth, fairy and doireann enough!

I don't like Pippas use of affliate links, I wish she'd put the brand up also so I don't have to click a link on my bandy phone to find out if it's ASOS or River Island, but I do think she is very professional and smart to not spread herself too thinly e.g. try crack the large UK market.

I also like that she's had bad eyebrows in the past - don't ask me why but that makes her very endearing to me

I don’t follow her either. Haha I never realised that there were a good few of us that didn’t

Where can I find the Bradley's video? Can't see it anywhere

It's on their facebook page

How embarrassing; barely anyone turned up. Seems to me Joanne's popularity is all in her own head.

So sue me releasing foundation in the coming months. Be interesting to see how this goes
