Somebody please shoot me now :s this is a joke.. and not even for Comic Relief

Dont you just hate it when a brand that you thought  you rated , does something so inane and ridiculous as this ' how to ' video by Illamasquas' Art Team  ? Gullible me watched it thinking I was going to see some new fantastic creative way to apply blusher... but see what you think.

It makes me really angry.. this 'Art Team' MUA on the video probably got paid nuf dolla for doing this.. and the whole video editting team probably cashed in too, it being a major high street brand these days.. All I can think is that they are laughing at us saying " we just put pink blusher on this girl, in a normal way.. didnt even look particularly special or different.. and now we can afford a month off in Ibiza , and everybodies gonna buy this new brush HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH !!!! Suckers!!! "

And Im not being funny but - elongating the face ?? A) it didn't .. and b) people dont really want elongated horsey faces imo. Heart shaped  or oval is the goal, right?

Im sure the brush is great for contouring and Ill probably go and look at it in store.. but the video just shows about a millisecond of technique and a whole lot of 'cut to MUA laughing' and cut to 'voguing pose by model with already applied full face of make up ' how is that a HOW TO video ??

And how is that ' skill'  worthy of being on the Art Team? Like I said.. somebody shoot me now.

I do still rate Illamasqua for lots of reasons, but I wish they wouldn't do this as it takes the piss out of their followers. Make a video about something innovative, with a creative outcome, .. dont be pointless. I hope they gave the profits to Comic Relief coz it was a joke, surely??

Here's the video link if you can be arsed wasting 3 minutes you wont get back...

Its the all new VE Day!!! Victory in Europe for ANIMALS!!!!!


Today is the day to CELEBRATE!! for the countless lives of animals that will be saved from abuse , torture and death in the name of the beauty industry in Europe!!!! A TOTAL ban on the sales of cosmetics that have been tested on animals, including their ingredients. Read the article below for full details !! Its such a massive milestone, but the campaign goes on, to eliminate testing on animals globally. Companies like L'Oreal and Estee lauder will still fund testing for countries like China, where testing is mandatory, so the only way it will completely stop, is if these countries implement a ban too. If you buy from these brands, your pennies will somehow also go in some part to these culprit companies banks, and therefore fund testing for other countries products. Dont be fooled by any smokescreen claims that these companies are now ' cruelty free' . Stay informed. EG.. the once Cruelty Free brands, Urban Decay and, ironically, the Body Shop, who have been paramount in the campaign, are now owned by L'Oreal.. so even though UD wont have their products sold in China, and their own products are not tested, the profits still go back to L'Oreal.. its a minefield!! be careful who you buy from. Plenty of info on the www.naturewatch.org website, and in their regularly updated 'Compassionate Shopping Guide".
