[itsfi]

@CookieGirl1, she’s released more products since I picked up these beauties and I’m hoping one of the stores in the city will have all the items in store. 🤞🏼 I’ve heard good things about her concealer that came out earlier this year. 

[greeneyedgirl107]

I went to Rakuten to see if Amazon was having a deal (you know, maybe 1%) that I could use on Invisibobble and saw this message: Amazon is no longer affiliated with Rakuten and does not sponsor or endorse Rakuten services.

I don't keep up with Amazon at all, but thought I'd post it since Cyber Monday is coming up.

Brand closure alert 

 

I did really like their lilah b. Aglow™ Face Mist Set  but it was always a little more than I wanted to spend on face mist. 

[SportyGirly125]

@Kim888 Aww this sucks.  I liked the face mist too.

[CookieGirl1]

[greeneyedgirl107]

Beautypedia has stated for the longest time that the site was being re-vamped.  It looks like they've gotten rid of reviews, and have replaced it with an ingredient checker and ingredient dictionary.  I'm devastated.  I was hoping for a plethora of new brands or at least new products to be reviewed.  And I'm saddened that it looks like we can't access the old reviews anymore.  Even if a formula changed, I still found it very helpful.

From the site:

What happened to the original Beautypedia review site?

The original Beautypedia review site has been replaced by the new Beauty Ingredient Checker, which gives you the ability to analyze and personally review any skin care product you want.

[WinglessOne]

@greeneyedgirl107  Well, at least Beautypedia's not pretending to be separate from Paula's Choice anymore. 🤣 The clear bias in several of their reviews was astounding. Some reviews were objective and I understand why many folks found the site to be a helpful resource. But it seems enough other people complained about the bias and inconsistency that PC decided to drop product reviews altogether and make Beautypedia an ingredient rating tool. I mean, I'm sure other reasons played a factor that only employees know (example: maybe Unilever didn't want to be responsible for reviewing other brands' products and the potential resulting backlash). But I'm kinda sad that you and others have lost what was a helpful resource for you. 

I guess PC/Unilever wants Beautypedia to give users a simplified view of best, good, bad, etc. ingredients for any product. They've simply hooked this tool into the existing PC ingredient dictionary to provide more details. I'm sure many people will like the simple pie chart presentation and this type of ingredient rating. Since I'm an ingredient-driven nerd, I prefer INCIdecoder's presentations via ingredient types/categories and chart with a few ratings. (INCIdecoder hasn't rated all ingredients in their database.) I assume PC's Beautypedia team has more experience in cosmetic chemistry and/or dermatologist or esthetician practice than INCIdecoder's team—though I wish PC would be more specific/detailed about that—but I like that both sites still cite studies to back their explanations and ratings. 

To test Beautypedia, I entered the INCI list of The Ordinary's Alpha Arbutin + HA serum. Apparently the tool doesn't recognize "alpha arbutin" (with or without a hyphen) as an ingredient: it gave me info on alpha bisabolol instead, which is definitely not the same ingredient. 🤦‍♀️ I had to change my input to just "arbutin" to get Beautypedia to find it in the ingredient database. If this tool's gonna be this fussy about inputs, it's gonna frustrate people. I'll let PC know they should widen the acceptable keywords for each ingredient. Also, I see this new tool now advertises (eh, suggests 😂) PC products related to ingredients. Not necessarily a bad thing since it's at PC's site. Just amusing, when I remember Beautypedia's "reviews" of PC products were all 5 stars and most read exactly like brief marketing blurbs. 

[greeneyedgirl107]

@WinglessOne What an insightful response!!! 

I think you are onto something when you mentioned that Unilever may have wanted to distance itself.

And good job identifying how their new system is lacking.

[CookieGirl1]

For those of you who have loved the Glow Recipe Watermelon + AHA Glow Sleeping Mask 2.7 oz/ 80 mL , it looks like it's being discontinued:

[greeneyedgirl107]

@CookieGirl1 I'm so proud of them for announcing a discontinuation.  Wasn't their watermelon mask a pivotal product for them?  I'm thinking it was the one that came in a sample that was shaped like a slice of watermelon - one I kept missing out on, so I'm so familiar with the product.  

[Kim888]

@greeneyedgirl107 @Yes agree I wish more brands would be this open when they sunset a product !! 

[greeneyedgirl107]

@Kim888 other than UD's Naked palette, I don't ever recall a brand giving people a heads-up that it was being discontinued. 

[CookieGirl1]

@greeneyedgirl107 and I'm interested to see the "replacement" as well.

[greeneyedgirl107]

@CookieGirl1 Yeah, IDK if I've ever seen a replacement be better!

[CookieGirl1]

@greeneyedgirl107 🤞🤞

[Titian06]

@CookieGirl1 - Kudos to the company for letting customers know in advance! 💖💖💖

[CookieGirl1]

@Titian06 I know, right?  Better than just ripping it off the shelf and then saying, "Surprise!  We replaced it!"

[Kim888]

Crosspost: Looks like Glossier is coming to Sephora next year unless another brand has super similar product names ! 

 

[Sunnysmom]

Wow, very exciting guys! Thanks @Kim888 ! 

[eshoe]

@Kim888 @SportyGirly125 this is so exciting!!!

[SportyGirly125]

@Kim888 @So awesome.
