The sad part is, people who don't know any better will pay it. As long as there is a demand at their outrageous prices they'll keep it going for as much as they can.

Unreal. She also has another new staffer who appears to be a friend of Amanda the sex toy lady. She is a famous mua who does makeup for magazines, according to patti.

No famous makeup artist is going to get involved with a company who deals in at best, discontinued makeup.

Yeah, let me see those tearsheets

I really don't think she knows what that word means.

Can't hear much because of the poor sound quality, but it seems to be more of the same (just different products). She mentions "controversy" and claims the bags are red river brand. She also talks about how inexpensive the rcb is compared to amazon or eBay, even though she knows patti does not utilize those places.

I don't want to be the Debbie Downer here, but it does seem a bit mean to be critiquing some of these videos for things that aren't super related to RCB. I mean, it's one thing to question what the "this video is late" thing, or to call out a video for not really sharing the whole story ... but to make comments about their age, voice, or whatever else just seems mean-spirited.

That's just my two cents, though. ...probably only worth two cents, haha. =)

And not allowed on MUT. Having my own videos ripped apart for how I talk or how I pronounce things is hurtful so I hope MUT members are not doing that to someone else.

I agree. I'm glad no one is doing this. I really did have difficulty with the audio, but maybe it is my iPad? Not trying to be cruel, but sometimes I have a hard time hearing some yt videos- not just this particular one.

 

[Hellocat4]

I contacted ofra. I'll keep you all updated as soon as I hear back from them.

I do see the point about commenting on the presentation of videos and would like to apologize if my comment caused offense. I also want to clarify that by "under duress" I really did just mean that she seemed very apologetic and also a bit nervous.... and I didn't at all intend it as an insult. However, I know from experience that being told you "look nervous" (I have naturally shaky hands, so this happens to me a lot!) even if not "insulting" can be rather annoying. Also, for what it's worth, any questioning/skepticism in the tone of my post was absolutely directed at RCB (i.e. why is it their customers feel the need to apologize for being "late"?) rather than the girl herself. She's adorable, and I'm grateful to all of the people who put up YouTube reviews (and the bloggers, too!). I'm not sure if I'm making it worse by clarifying, but.... point taken re: the videos.

 

[nelliebelle1197]

I was wondering why she felt so pressured, too, and I was actually thinking there was pressure coming on her from somewhere else. Which is heart breaking over a box of old, broken and expired stuff. I hope we are just projecting mistrust of all things RCB and that is not how she felt.

Am I the only one that gets "Catfish" vibes from the RCB founder?

 

[glamourdolleyes]

Just a side note, not sure why sea raising her prices BUT shipping is going up I think the 23rd (or end of january) to over $1 more for a basic 1-3oz package so that might be why. Not justifying her crazy prices but I'm sure most businesses are going to be making adjustments /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I was just thinking that earlier today. Maybe we should hire those guys to find out for us!

 

[bluelion]

I'm uncomfortable with the way all the reviews (minus blog reviews and videos) get filtered through her before being posted on facebook. I mean, I understand why she's doing it, but for me it's a giant red flag.

 

[Jamie P]

Has she ever posted a video or photo of herself other than those model type ones? For such a small, personalized type of business (the way she runs it, hand written notes, personally chatting on FB) I find it odd that she doesn't.

 

[EmGee]

I wasn't trying to be mean spirited about the young girl's video.

But maybe should have written that she seems so young, maybe she has no idea of the discontinued items and everything else and is too young to know any better??

That kind of was my impression by hearing her say she"lives with her parents", lost necklace on floor or "messy bedroom".

The girl in the video did say this though
