THE VISIONARY
The truth about products
So, let me get this right. How dare you makeup critics or bloggers ever in life disrespect the makeup
communities worldwide by providing false information on cheap products for free samples. I’ve reviewed your write-ups and your resumés. You are not even qualified to offer a professional opinion on
anything. You fake so-called professional bloggers sell your souls by comparing and scaling products
with a high rating because of who they are or the fact they gave you free samples. Surprise, I’m here
to expose you. My people ought to know the truth about this racket. I know from experience and from
purchasing several products that are said to be amazing time and time again in several blogs that
you critics are scammers. There are honestly only 10 products that have surfaced in the last 15 years
even worthy of being topic of discussion. Anything else is said to be great solely because a celebrity is
behind it. Yet, many are not at all great or worthy of an honorable mention. I swear to you, they are all
trash and a waste of money and time. The elite makeup artists we feature wouldn’t dare find room in
their kits for such low quality products. The only products we recommend are as follows: Miss Mascara, Tyra Beauty, Ka’oir Cosmetics, Anastasia Beverly Hills, Lash Republic, Laura Mercier, Vise Art,
J Beverly Hills, Reveal Beauty and Melt Cosmetics. Everything else is poorly manufactured, too oily,
horribly packaged, not built to last long, or just flat out sold on the pretense of a being great because of
celebrity ownership. Trust, if I didn’t mention the brand it’s probably not up to par or not worthy of the
mention. As the saying goes, “sorry, but not sorry”. I’m actually irritated by products passing as quality
that just don’t measure up through and through. It seems everyone has a beauty product and it reminds
me of when everyone had a clothing line in the mid-2000’s or back in the late 90’s. This is similar to
the last 7 years when everyone now has a magazine. I know this is not my most flattering piece, but it’s
raw, real, and had to be written.
