Dear People Of the Internet Makeup World Why You Leave Reviews On Stuff that Isn’t Released Yet?

Dear People of the Makeup World, why are you leaving reviews on stuff that hasn’t even been released yet?! WHY??!

Sorry, it’s my beauty pet peeve to go onto Sephora or even Ulta website and see something marked as “Coming Soon” and people are putting up “reviews” on the products. Now these reviews typically consist of, “OMG CUTE” followed by a five-star rating or some other unhelpful comment that is NOT review related but merely a statement. Maybe sites should have an area for comments and an area for reviews so my blood pressure can stay normal when I’m browsing the site. Because I’m seriously ready to throw my computer at a wall when someone leaves a comment but not a review in the area that is MEANT FOR REVIEWS!!!!!!!

Head desk again and again and again and again and over and over and over again.

The Sephora Minnie Mouse Collection arrives later this week and none of it is currently in stock at Sephora but merely showing as “Coming Soon” yet it has reviews on it.

WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!?

I don’t mind if someone actually tried the product and reviewed it as maybe they are a beauty blogger or someone that had early access to the product that wishes to share their thoughts. However, when you’re leaving a five-star rating but contributing nothing aside from “OMG cute!” or “I love this I’ll be buying it” that’s what really drives me up a wall.

So please, people of the Internet Makeup World Stop Leaving Reviews on stuff you haven’t tried.

K, thanks!

What’s your latest beauty pet peeve?

Feel free to rant it!

I receive a small commission if you shop through my link.

Charlotte Tilbury Instant Look in a Palette

The new Charlotte Tilbury Instant Look in a Palette ($75) is a brand new Spring 2016 complete face and eye palette that promises to give you a gorgeous look in as little as five minutes. Yeah, so, I’m all about saving time!

You get:

  • Eye Brighten: Brighten the eyes with a youthful, color-correcting, brightening pale rose matte hue to prime and smooth the surface of the eyelid for all day application.
  • Eye Enhance: Enhance the eyes by adding dreamy, satin dimension with a glowing champagne shade that illuminates the eyelid.
  • Eye Smoke: Smoke the color to create highly-pigmented, softly-defined eyes with a universally flattering toupe shade that can be built up to a natural-looking smoky eye.
  • Face Bronze: Bronze and define the cheekbone hollows with an all-skin tone, bronze color in the best-selling Filmstar Bronze & Glow.
  • Cheek Swish: Swish the tea-rose colored blush on the apples of the cheeks and blend up and out for a healthy, happy glow.
  • Cheek Pop: Pop the uplifting, pretty pink shade onto the apples of the cheeks for a lit-from-within glow.
  • Face Highlight: Highlight the outer C-section of the cheekbones, down the nose, on the bow of the lips, and the inner corners of the eyes with the candlelit shade.

The Charlotte Tilbury Instant Look in a Palette is available at CharlotteTilbury.com this May and will be available at Bergdorf Goodman, BergdorfGoodman.com, Nordstrom, and Nordstrom.com as well!
