The Posh Pod discussion

[erinkins]

So last night I was on their website and this came up from my antivirus.



And I also took a screenshot of that video of the glossybox..

 

[WarPaint1739]

Ugh, shady shady...

Using Glossy's images actually makes me even madder. Why would you steal another box's content and claim that's one of yours? Glossy works so hard, and I respect their business a lot.

 

[erinkins]

I agree, it's total disrespect for them. But really, they could of at least used a box that doesn't have a product that says glossybox on it...

The gallery - which she took the link down yesterday - is now completely gone. So those pictures of the products that look to be counterfeit are gone.

"brands" also now says "link to brands"...so she definitely is at least fixing something and taking what we said into consideration. Not that it matters now, lol.

I hope the Posh Pod people are reading this....PLEASE hire a web-designer. Your site shouldn't remind people of an old-school myspace background. 

 

[GirlyEnthusiast]

So much deformation... so little time.

 

[glamourdolleyes]

On the mobile version of her site, it says "Gallary".

I don't really see the correlation between high end beauty samples and pampering for Cancer patients. I know a couple of women who are cancer survivors and many of them were advised to use natural/ organic beauty products and stay away from things with harsh chemical additives. Very rarely does high end beauty go hand in hand with natural and organic.

I'm going to second this...I work in a cancer research hospital. Almost every lady I know who is or has been a chemotherapy patient beelines for organic or mineral makeup, high end or not, rather than the luxe-but-synthetic products like Nars. It is gentler on the skin and provides better coverage for those whose skin tone gets uneven from treatments. I have sirens going off along with the red flags! I smell Gogo Girlfriend...

 

[zadidoll]

Images are still there on the mobile site.

BTW - the boxes she shows in her "gallary"... those all look to be from other subscription services which leads me to wonder whose images are those in the first place. I do see the Glossybox image on her mobile site.

 

[amberlamps]

If you go to tineye.com and put in the image URL, it should post where they got it. I did it with your URL but it just showed this thread.

 

[zadidoll]

Ohhh... I'm so bookmarking that site.

 

[MakeupA]

Lol wow! Technology has Really improved and changed. I appreciate everyone posting information. We have some great detectives here at makeuptalk!

You can see much larger images of what Gina/Silver/whoever from Posh Pod posted. She claims in the Cease and Desist that the images she has are "teaser photos". I'm sorry but since when is using images of other companies boxes teasers for your company? I wonder if Glossybox and the other box companies she's using have a case against her.

[SIZE=11pt]All attacks and  information that is unfounded with lack of knowledge of The Posh Pod that is being blogged prior to our first product even coming out including that of personal information regarding illness of the founder & statements sighting criminal intent by the company and their employees.  Please see attached documentation for the group of individuals in addition to blogging on their Facebook pages- other groups Facebook pages that pertain to the same industry to attempt to destroy The Posh Pod business.  The blog called’ THE POSH POD-APRIL’ is placed on Google with nothing but accusations directly above Posh Pods listing on Google search engines.  We have lost a tremendous amount of customers due to accusations of counterfeit samples that have not even hit the market yet.  Any and all questions as you can see from the documentation have been answered with correct and accurate statements. Similar business practices were also shown to assist in the understanding of not placing particular photos of one brand on our sites. The accompanying documentation shows the malice and intent of this group of individuals. No matter what logical reason was given the attacks continued and are still at this time moving from blog to blog.  There are well over 100 blogs of attacks, insults, misinformation and prejudice against The Posh Pod.  Even after showing honest business practice and cancelling and refunding those on this board that was done to take up time and harass the employees it still continues.  This entire group has used 4-5 women to harass employees for the last several days. This blog must be removed from Google search engine and all defamatory libel conversations stopped. We simply want to be given an opportunity to run our business.  Currently we have lost a great deal of income and potential members &  it will take some time to recover from the damage that has been done to a reputation that does not even have a product to review as of yet. The Posh Pod does not work in affiliation with any other designer or company.  Our “pods†review beauty items & provide a fun way for consumers to experience higher end brands that they may not otherwise have the opportunity to.  A copy of this letter will be copied to all involved AND sent via email & certified letter with return receipt.       [/SIZE]

I do know in one image there is a copyright to HMA 2010 which is clearly visible in a larger image on the mobile page.



Here's another of their "teaser" photos showing it's a Glossybox.



Like I stated before, I'm not out to destroy her company but I am out to seek the truth because she has presented other companies products/boxes as "teasers" to what she claims Posh Pod will be sending out. To me she's misrepresenting her company when she made the claim the products she'll send out are products found in Neimun Marcus, Macy's, Bloomingdales and other similar high end stores. There's on picture she has up of Mary Kay samples which obviously are not sold at those high end department stores. Is Orly - sold at drugstores and beauty supply stores - sold at high end stores? I know she said these are "teaser" images but to me a teaser is what (example) MyGlam does and posts a picture of part of something they are sending out. I'm just trying to wrap my brain around this one because I still can't help but feel that she's not being honest with people but that's my opinion.

That's a nice lookin box! I wouldnt mind getting that in the  mail!

 

[zadidoll]

That's a Glossybox but which version (Glossybox is now found in 18 countries) I couldn't tell you. Glossybox USA is launching within a few weeks (they told me this spring).

It took me a few minutes to figure out how WIX works but here are the direct links to the images. If you click on the source code for http://m.poshpod.com/?renderTargetType=Mobile&showAds=false&isMobileDevice=false&showInIphone=false#!Gallary|gallery_page you'll see the images all are PNG images. If you take those files and use http://static.wix.com/media/ ahead of it the image will pull up. I'm not trying to destroy her company but she is using images from other companies boxes to represent what her company is sending to subscribers. To me it's like, and forgive the food analogy here, but it's like McDonalds saying they're launching a new burger and using an image from Burger King to show what their new burger will be like.
