New product launch coming out too soon.. Wonder whats going to be added to the UP collection?!.. I think its a cream eyeshadow, could be wrong though! She alluded to wearing it the other day on her stories.

Honestly does anyone give a tit ! Can’t keep up with the crap she’s peddling and “ new launch “ every week either from lucy Nagle , the work from home sweatshirts 🙄 new room sprays and now more Up stuff . It’s boring at this stage she’s trying to create hype but failing miserably. Just give it all a rest Pips .

Hand in every pie!! Gotta keep the €€s rolling to maintain her yummy mummy lifestyle.. She has no background in either make up artistry, or clothes design or interior design but once there's money behind her she can label what tat she wants and voila!!..she's now a 'successful business woman' 🤔. A friend of mine who studied textiles makes her own knitwear to sell at local markets (pre covid) and works bloody hard to make a living from it, she is the type of person that I admire as she's passionate about creating beautiful knits that last years. She is physically putting blood sweat and tears into her work unlike Pippa and Co who fly off to a factory and pick out something to stick their label on it and then sell at extortionate prices. I think the likes of Pippa, Rosie etc see the end success as having the big mansion, the SUV's, holidays to Dubai off the back of making money from their 'girl boss' businesses whereas my friend(who lives in a teeny little cottage & drives a 12 year old car) sees success in the physical creativity and individuality of each of her garments,& she doesn't measure her success in monetary terms. All long as she has enough to put food on the table and pay the bills she's happy. Her joy comes from creating a one off piece and
I'm not saying Pippa didn't work hard or sit on her ass but she's not the business woman that I would aspire to be.

While I agree with what you say, let me tell you I worked my arse off in my profession didn’t get me anywhere. While the clever dick who just bearly did a tap seemed to progress with ease!! I wouldn’t knock her!! Just because you work hard doesn’t guarantee anything and if you can do it the easy way why not!!

I suppose it comes down to integrity for me. There is a level of "trust" involved in marketing psychology. We part with our money with brands that we feel we can trust (a lot of this is subliminal and she knows this, showing the kids and the home schooling and the "struggles" so we will connect with her) and hence buy into her "brand".
I'm sure I'm not the only one who has learned this over the years and as a result I have become much more discerning with my hard earned money and where I choose to spend it. She isn't qualified to sell some of the products she sells, she just doesn't have that skillset, so she isn't getting my money over someone who is trained/studied/a professional in that field. I understand that some are falling over themselves to buy the next Pippa product but I think they're thinner on the ground than they used to be, as we've seen with the limp success of Up. I don't think the "easy way" should ever be something to be praised but I'm sure many disagree! And I also believe that a lot of her success has been down to luck and privilege.

Oh I agree with you regarding working hard and not getting anywhere in your profession. Its just in my opinion that I don't think much of her products for the price she charges. I was giving the pippa pallette years ago as a present and wasn't impressed and I certainly wouldn't have spent 35 or 40€ on her candle when I can purchase gorgeous ones at my local farmers market for 20€. I work in business development myself for a home grown family business so I know the struggles people have. As I've got older I'm a bit more dubious of what I buy and Pippa's products while they look nice they don't appeal to me. I know someone who bought 2 of her jeans and returned that one as it ripped and the zip went in the other a few months later. Any review I've read is from other bloggers so part of me thinks are they really being honest.
If you look at Charlotte Tilbury, she's spent years as a make up artist, working on runway shows etc then a blogger/influencer like Pippa comes along and launches a product with a fairly high price point and no background in that industry apart from wearing it.

Yes!! I haven’t looked at her range but you could say that about Kyle Jenner and Vitoria Beckham!! They are changing their arm! People still buy their shite!! I wouldn’t buy it. I would buy Charlotte Tillbury as it’s a quality product or Estée Lauder!! You and I know how to spend our money. Yet selling crap to idiots has made Kyle Jenner a multi millionaire!! You cannot win!!

yes it’s clearly a ‘glowy’ all over face product...I predict a Pipsy take on Charlotte Tilbury’s Hollywood flawless filter.

Let’s guess a name, I’ll go first: Pipsy’s perfect primer

I thought from looking at the UP cosmetics instagram page that it could be like the Charlotte Tilbury 'Eyes to Mesmerise' cream eyeshadow in the pot.
