I really enjoy Charlotte's videos. She does buy lots of products herself and is always upfront about what has been sent to her. I think her video with these latest lipsticks actually show you what they look like on her lips. I agree she is one of the decent ones.

I have more time for charlotte than so many other infleuncers. The fact she spent her money (tax deductible though) on the full set and is giving away the gifted one has shown her to be better than the others who are grabby and would keep the lot. Charlotte does buy loads and doesn't rely on freebies for content. I love her 'you don't need that' deinfluencing videos. I have often found myself answering her sheepishly as she stares sternly into the camera saying "you don't need it. You have loads of neutral palettes. I know you do. Can you honestly say you don't have those colours?"

I presume those brackets are fashionable. Dr Idriss has them too. Not my style but I suppose if they are linked to your kids they mean more to you.
I suppose there's a rush to get videos and posts out when there's a big launch. I did read somewhere about the difference in income between posting a review on launch day and a week after. And I know Charlotte missed out on the ND golden palette as it never arrived on time. I couldn't believe I was using the palette before she'd even got hers.

It’s not a hair tie; it looks like a thin braided leather bracelet. I’m grateful she showed the swatches (they look better on her video, actually).
Interesting that she's got a new comms director and is now going this tacky route. Yep, tacky.
Lisa has over 2million followers, surely she doesn't need to be buying shouty influencers a posh dinner, or sending free lipsticks to micro-influencers with 23k followers? How many extra sales will that really generate? When it was just her talking about her products, and the influencers had to go and buy it (and amazingly they all did and go buy her products) it felt more like an exclusive thing.
I'm definitely over influencers, particularly when they make the shift from being talented and almost as an aside mentioning products, to basically being a QCV presenter by another name.
It might have been on the make up rehab reddit where there was thread where everyone was listing the LE products they owned and what they thought of them - and it wasn't all glowing. Generally eyeliners and mascaras drying up quickly and lipsticks breaking (apparently a known fault due to the formulation). Eye opening, not because the products are bad but because it's so rare to hear what someone thinks of a product they've owned and used more than twice, and are weighing up whether it was worth hard earned money in comparison with other products available on the market.

I agree that it’s tacky AF. Why not send product to Emerald members, they’ve already spent a lot of money on her stuff. She could then use the reviews on site when the product goes on sale. And show all of them, building on her brand of being classy and honest. I simply do not give a toss what a bunch of screechy influencers have to say about a product. I watch her videos then decide. And my manicure is fresh 
I don't mind some of the smaller influencer accounts (I don't know who was on the train but if it was the likes of Lily Pebbles and The Anna Edit I'll be seriously disappointed). I quite like Lolasfaceandnails and Fionas50slife and thisgirllikestoshop for beauty. All older women (older than me anyway) but I think honest reviews and I would trust their recommendations over someone like Lily Pebbles, Sali Hughes et alI agree that it’s tacky AF.

Enjoying the food for thought re influencers. It is disappointing, and I’m glad I didn’t just buy the new lipstick on impulse. I’m supposed to be budgeting more carefully anyway.
off to check out Reddit!

I wonder if she still works for Lancôme because I miss the Juicy Shakers. They would have blown up with the lip oil trend now!
I still have one that I use. A brilliant design and great product.
Me too! I really enjoy them!
This came up in my YouTube videos last night. I’m not subscribed to her and she’s not an influencer and she bought the lipsticks with her own money.
She’s done a very thorough video with swatch comparisons both on her lips and on her hand.
I found her very informative and well worth a watch.
The new shades I was drawn to look very similar to LE lipsticks I already have and this video confirms it.

Thanks for that, just watched it. Really good, in depth, honest review. Much better than any influencer short.
She was refreshing wasn’t she? Completely honest opinion. I like that.
Whatever other influencers claim, they can never be 100% honest or they’ll be thrown off the PR list.
Perhaps I am being a tad cynical but it was interesting that the lipsticks that she found were the closest matches for the new formula were all the ones that had recently been discontinued…
I picked up on the same thing! Very shrewd...Perhaps I am being a tad cynical but it was interesting that the lipsticks that she found were the closest matches for the new formula were all the ones that had recently been discontinued…
Lisa said she was going to replace the lipsticks she was discontinuing so I image this is what she meant.Perhaps I am being a tad cynical but it was interesting that the lipsticks that she found were the closest matches for the new formula were all the ones that had recently been discontinued…
I wonder if this is the way all new lip releases will go - they will fit her refillable case only and not be a stand alone lipstick?
Oooo good question! I’m not sure. I think maybe she’ll move on to a different type of lip product like lip oils or more of the baume ones? I think the next launch will be blusher or concealer as those are the products I see mentioned the most on social media to her.
I bought two of Violette FRs blushes and have to say I’m disappointed so I hope Lisa’s lives up to my expectations haha
No more velvets? I know Dior and No7 are now copying shamelessly but I think the velvet lipstick was Lisa’s baby. I hope she got the patent on the velvet lipstick, and if she did, and wanted to, sold it to Dior or the highest bidder
How was it unique enough to copyright?
No, I meant I wonder if any future releases (including velvets) would only be available as refills and that Lisa will eventually phase out her non-recyclable lipsticks.
Have you received your order yet? I’d love to read your thoughts.
