Cinema Beauté: Today's product haul

I thought I'd do a quick video wrap-up of the beauty products I received from various brands and their PR companies today. Now that I've done it, I think I might do a weekly recap. This would give you guys a good idea of how many products I am receiving to be tested - and a grasp on how few products are really worth blogging about. Also, I'd love to get your feedback on any that you've used and that sort of thing.

For now, here's Friday's candidates for review:

Wow! Look at all that stuff! Isn't it amazing the amount of money spent on packaging products that are often not really all that great?

This was a fun post. Thanks for doing it. I know doing video can take a long time.

So what do you end up doing with all of this stuff after you have tried it? Do you continue to use what you like and trash the rest? Even at that, I would think you would need a huge amount of storage for what you do keep...

It can take me a long time to get round to testing something, which makes my storage needs even more insane. A lot of stuff is adequate enough to keep around; I give away a LOT of products, probably thousands of dollars worth at this point.

About


  • What do you get when you throw a true beauty obsessive in Europe together with a veteran beauty journalist in LA? Not much room on the bathroom shelves, that's for sure. Make-up, hair products, skincare, perfume, salons, spas, luxury hotels with toiletries and treatments that make us never want to go home - if we've left anything out, you can pry our mirrors from our cold, dead, perfectly manicured hands.
