Shitty makeup review from xoVain is called out by commenters (but they don't say anything about the "everything expensive is better" bullshit)

See, this is what I was talking about! First of all, the writer goes off on a rant about how more expensive products are better and you won't find anything as good at the drugstore and don't even bother trying to tell her otherwise, la la la la la not listening! She actually says, "No. Stop. Don’t. You’re not going to win this one, I don’t care how many upvotes you get." Plus a lot of nonsense about drugstore makeup being full of "fillers" etc. Um.

Things That Annoy Me Tonight

1. Beauty bloggers who don't do their research. And then recommend products that do nothing or make things worse. You are part of the problem!
(I'm not saying my advice is flawless, but I try to frame my own personal experiences as just that and not to recommend things that are gimmicky, overpriced, or harmful.)

2. All the 5 star reviews on BzzAgent. I know it's because people like to get free things, and they are afraid that if they give negative reviews, the free stuff will stop coming. I've wondered about that myself. But really, 99% of people think all the products reviews are perfect? I doubt it. It makes the reviews kind of pointless.

This is a good reminder for us all:

There isn’t a cream or lotion or facewash in the world that is going to change what you already have.  If there were, everybody would be smooth and perfect and beautiful, and nobody would ever visit the plastic surgeon for anything at all.  There would be homeless plastic surgeons on the street with signs that said OUT OF WORK, PLEASE HELP!!  EVERYONE JUST BOUGHT A TUBE OF CREAM FROM MACY’S, AND NOW NONE OF THEM HAVE ANY WRINKLES OR CELLULITE AND I HAVE NO USEFUL JOB SKILLS.

(I don’t totally agree that there are no acne products that can help, and I think there are some ingredients that can slow down damage or soothe irritation, besides SPF, but for the most part, yeah. Don’t get sucked in. Do your research here or here.)
