"how much of that actual ingredient was in the products, the answer was quite literally, 'not very much at all'. " --> omg shocking :/

I know you won't say who/what it is, but I'm dying to find out!

hmmm, was it a brand that promotes being natural and mineral?

People like this absolutely disgust me - if journos/bloggers/jane bloggs give up their time to find out about a new launch the least they can do is their homework. Shocking.

O my gosh. Is that for real? How appalling!

Even if it's the best product in the world if you can't get your stuff together to launch it your doomed!

Shocking. Surely the brand owner, would be there through every step of the products being developed and would know each and every single little detail. Unless of course they basically don't give a crap about what they are selling and just want the money!

I hope you don't take this as criticism, but I am actually confused. As a beauty journalist weren't you invited to this brand opening in order to write about the new brand? If your evaluation is indeed negative, why are you censoring yourself and not posting the name of the brand. We read blogs in order to find reputable reviews of new products so that can become educated consumers. If, in fact, you plan to write a detailed review later then I look forward to reading it.

Hi Tensy: no criticism taken but in this instance I feel it's a delicate situation and the people in this case who will get it in the neck for what I say would be the PRs who really had done their utmost. They're a bit helpless when their useless client lets the side down but still would probably catch it. I'll find a way to post about it, don't worry! The post was just an insider look really more than a 'secretive' thing. Sorry if it read that way x

Thanks for the response. I understand how hard PR people work since my own daughter works in advertising in New York.
