[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm sort of confused why everyone is so excited about "publicist PP" posting a bunch of expensive shit. there are so many things wrong with her list, particularly the skin care.

glamglow is irritating to the skin and overpriced. excerpt from beautypedia: "Despite the hype, GlamGlow does not have exceptional, or even mediocre, products worth considering. Their primary two masks are overpriced and offer a mix of ordinary clays, potent fragrance and irritating plant extracts with a few beneficial antioxidants present but they are rendered useless because of the jar packaging."

here's what beautypedia says about la mer eye concentrate: "The Eye Concentrate contains some incredibly helpful, state-of-the-art ingredients for creating and maintaining healthy skin. What a shame so many of them are subject to reduced potency because of jar packaging! Moreover, how depressing that La Mer included a troubling amount of eucalyptus oil, which only serves to irritate skin. Without that and in better packaging, this really would have been an “ultraluxe eye treatment.”

glossier balm dot com is most just petroleum jelly in cute packaging.

I take good care of my skin and use effective products (not all natural, but definitely NONTOXIC) and I don't waste money on makeup to cover the skin. people get into a vicious cycle of layering crap onto their skin in the name of "skin care" and then covering it with makeup, which just perpetuates the problem.

I'm not sure why everyone would listen to someone who claims to be a publicist and take her word as gospel. She's not trained in skin care or beauty-- I'd rather take advice from a  dermatologist, aesthetician, or makeup artist. Not impressed by bragging about an enormous collection of manolos, an insane collection of expensive sneakers, or heirloom hermes bags.

Publicist PP here. Let me start by saying that you are right, I'm not trained in skin care or beauty, and everyone here knows that. I've never claimed to be a dermatologist, aesthetician, or makeup artist. Just someone who works in the industry, who has access to a wide array of products and information about those products, and from that access and information has narrowed it down to a list of products she loves and swears by.

On page two of this thread, you will see that another DCUM user said the following: [color=violet]"[i]Publicist PP- please weigh in !![/i]"[/color] So, what [b][i]I[/i][/b] did, was [i][b]weigh in[/b][/i]. I am not here to impress YOU. I am not here to explain to YOU why other people on this board happen to like my posts. I am not here to justify or explain anything to YOU. If you don't like my posts, you know what YOU can do? [color=red][b]Scroll. On. By.[/b][/color] Don't read them. Don't respond to them. Don't even think about them. It's quite simple, actually. But for some reason, it bothers you - A LOT - that people on this board enjoy my posts. And it bothers you - A LOT - that in various threads, posters ask for my opinion and feedback. And more than anything, it seems to bother you - A WHOLE HECK OF A LOT - that I actually take the time to respond and that other posters seem to respond positively. I am so sorry for that. I am also so sorry that you are such a bitter, angry person.

It turns out that YOU don't need any list of holy grail products. Not mine, and not anyone else's. With an attitude like yours, it's inevitable that it'll show on your face. What YOU need is to make an appointment w/ someone like Dr. Shervin Naderi or Dr. Philip Schoenfeld ASAP. It's *probably* too late for you already, but considering the fact that they are miracle workers, they may be able to do a little something to make your face just a bit more tolerable than your attitude.

I'm not even sure if this is worth responding to, but good job going straight for an attack on my looks I guess? I understand that people asked for you to comment and I don't have a problem with you doing so, I was just expressing confusion about why your opinion is worth so much to so many people when it doesn't seem like you have any expertise in beauty or skincare. I'm sure you have lovely skin and that your routine works for you-- for many people with skin issues, the products you recommended will be highly irritating and problematic. [/quote]

I've never weighted in on this before, but:

Publicist comes off as touchy and volatile and petty here.

PP comes off as mature and above the fray.

This match goes to...PP![/quote]
