PR samples are a fact of life on social media so enough with the PR Product Shaming already!

May 4, 2016 Paris B 39 Comments

Now that brand PR marketing seems to have shifted focus to other forms of social media, leaving blogs and bloggers a little out in the cold, I’ve noticed another shift in the dynamics of bloggers and blogging. I’ve noticed a shift to the other extreme, where bloggers seem to prefer to adopt a “no-PR” approach.

What some bloggers have chosen to do, is to not navigate the PR jungle, and not accept products for editorial consideration or reviews. Some had been PR-friendly before this, but no longer want to be for various reasons – the perceived loss of personal integrity, or a quest to downscale their product collection, or just a loss of interest in beauty blogging in general. Some have been sidelined by brands or PR, for reasons no one can fully understand. From a fellow sidelined blogger, I fully commiserate!

I see nothing wrong in not accepting PR products – I do it as well, to a degree, where I choose to adopt a stricter, more selective approach. I buy a lot of my own crap (my affectionate endearment for my beauty buys LOL! 😀 ) and I accept some. If I’m uncomfortable or unlikely to use what I may receive unsolicited, I return them. If I don’t receive something I’m interested in, I buy it. That’s how I roll these days.

But that’s not what I’m on about today. What makes me a little uncomfortable, is with what I’d term “PR Product Shaming” where people say things to a blogger with the conscious or unconscious intention to make a PR-friendly blogger feel ashamed, or uncomfortable about accepting PR products for editorial consideration.

If you want to look flawless in super high definition you will need the Make Up For Ever Ultra HD Foundation

May 2, 2016 Paris B 16 Comments

About 2 years back, I showed you what was then one of my favourite liquid foundations for a flawless finish. Last year, this foundation was reformulated. Do you realise how frustrating that is? Knowing that something you love might not be the same again?!

make up for ever ultra hd foundation

The foundation in question is the Make Up For Ever Ultra HD Invisible Cover Foundation, which I was told is now formulated to be so camera perfect, it is perfect for 4K TVs, which are even more high definition than HD. What this does then is supposed to be invisible on super high definition screens, so it doesn’t look like you’re wearing makeup, it looks like you just have flawless skin. We are only just getting to grips with HD and we now have to contend with 4K? Needless to say, I can’t keep up with technology, and I don’t even watch HD TV! LOL So much for looking flawless eh? 😛

My primary concern wasn’t to do with how flawless this foundation would make me look, but was more of whether the Make Up For Ever Ultra HD foundation would remain a favourite of mine.
