Red Carpet Box

[lunadust]

has anyone seen the never ending legal terms now on the website?

 

[glamourdolleyes]

I just did, but didn't bother to read half of it. It is about as long winded as her facebook updates.

The website is a travesty in itself.. If I stumbled upon that without knowing about this box, I would X out so fast! Maybe I should have listened to my gut instincts lol

If she was so close to launching her website why didn't she just skip the facebook mess and wait until it was ready? I mean, not that its a nice website...but better than running a business through a weird combination of facebook, emails, and paypal, imo.

You know I have been following this thread for about 24 hours and now I am completely in too deep. This is like watching a bad car crash.

I am a buyer and was considering starting up a box service for SAMPLES- not full sizes- to try new things and get other peeps to try. However after this disaster I doubt any girl on this forum will buy from a start up person again and that is a true shame.

My condolences to all the girls who paid $25 for expired products that could potentially harm you and then got a nasty reply when they tried to get a refund. I hope you all open a case with paypal ASAP and get your $25 back. It's not about the money it is principle that you were given expired products. Products expire for a reason- the longer they sit the more bacteria grows.

You just need to do your research and have the resources to do it. If you don't have APPROPRIATE resources for products, you shouldn't be doing anything. Then make sure you are 100% prepared before launching.

Well- my career is a buyer. But I have zero business background so it is unlikely I would do this anytime soon. However, I would be contacting real companies asking to buy their samples NOT buying stuff off eBay. Don't get me wrong I love the site but I use it to buy items off girls like me who don't want their personal purchases anymore (like books, authentic bags, hello kitty stuff), not shady faceless "distributors" selling "lots" of goods.

And no offense to Patty in any way but if this woman really is a model, law student, mother of 7 children in preschool, one with autism, and a brain tumor maybe she would have better luck writing a memoir rather than selling boxes.

 

[kawaiimeows]

as a current law school student (first year) i'm really not sure how someone would have the time to be a mother of seven, a student, a model, buy up all their products to sell in their boxes, and then "run" the business.

i know i personally would have an extremely hard time just doing maybe one of those things in conjunction with law school. maintaining relationships is hard enough for me right now as it is LOL (and i use MUT as my distraction, i just outed myself /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />)

If you could find a partner with some knowledge I'm sure you could do it!

Plagerize much? Miss "I'm in private law school; I'm a law major" certainly likes to use other people's work doesn't she? First the images from Colourbox (which she was told by Colourbox was illegal to use) and now MyGlam/Ipsy's About Us.

 

[glamourdolleyes]

What ever happened to the Korres make up we were promised for the first box? Or did I misread something?

Ok, even if I had no idea about MUT and had heard nothing about this company ....  that "mission statement" ALONE would stop me from purchasing anything from this woman.

Have you contacted ipsy about this? I'm sure they'd love this.

WOW good find. i would've never made that connection, even though i thought there was something *off* about it when i kept reading her about us.

not to mention plagiarizing looks bad when it's noted one's character and fitness portion of the bar exam (though that mostly pertains to getting in trouble for in school with the honor court, but still, come on).

It apparently is going to the 25 "VIPs" that came after us.  LOL.  Not that I care because that is probably expired too.

Her latest confusing post on facebook

First of all, I would like to personally apologize for any delays in your product if you are on my list of 25 clientele. To further promise you even more to stick this out with me, I am promising you a small handbag that needs specialty and larger packaging than I have on hand right now, however, it will be rectified by tomorrow. So, in addition to a

ll the other promises I have made to pack your boxes in a timely fashion such as the Korres gloss and extra bonus item, you will also receive a purse for my delay. I take my job as a new Founder very seriously and it is with great humility that in my first month, I had some glitches and admit to them. 

Here is some GREAT news, finally. My website is completely finished and of high quality that will continue to only improve. It was a grand feat to produce a fully functioning and also appealing look to the new site. I hope that you will enjoy as we add new features monthly. www.redcarpetbox.com is now live and complete and no more purchases through facebook will be accepted. To use and access the paypal function you must confirm your subscription spot by emailing me directly for consent to order and finalize your reservation.

To re-iterate what I have said earlier, Korres discontinued eyeshadow is in the box, as well as a discontinued Avon pencil. If you feel uncomfortable buying discontinued products, please do not.
My questions... 

is it a korres eyeshadow or gloss?

Didn't she already know the purses were too big? 

I'm slightly afraid to find out what these purses are...

High quality website?

 

[Playedinloops]

I like that she states her website is finished and of high quality. If you have to say it....

I know LOL. I had to go back to the site again to see if it magically transformed in the last half hour.

Ipsy is aware of it. If they want they can issue a real cease and desist to her. Colourbox has already issued her a demand to remove the watermarked images and purchase a license to use their images (she happened to CCed me her response to them so I know that she was told it was ILLEGAL to use their images without a license). Just to her credit, she did remove the images from Colourbox and Shutterbox but only AFTER she was told to remove the images.

Who wants to pay $25 for DISCONTINUED products off of Ebay?! Take that $25 people and go to Ulta and pick up some NEW products for LESS than $25!
