As an influencer who received the empty Charlotte Tilbury PR package, I was not informed of any "makeup heist" beforehand. The brand told me nothing. I received the lipsticks later in evidence bags with still no explanation. It was really kind of funny. I have no idea what happened or if it was planned or not.

All evidence points to it was a mistake that they rushed to invent a rationale for. My guess would be influencers received the empty packages, contacted the company, who worked quickly to come up with a story to cover it, hence the low-budget feel. They likely asked the content creators nicely to go ahead and post videos of the empty boxes once they’d come up with their plan. Honestly… there are worse ways to handle a big bungle like this.

The influencer version of sending an email without the attachment 😂

Ok here's what I think: The giant PR lipstick and the bags of "missing" lipsticks were sent together but the reviewers were told to act like the lipsticks were missing to build engagement and hype for the product. Then the reviewers were given the go ahead to post the "The lipsticks are in evidence bags!" videos.

@louibeans

4 ай бұрын

It does not make sense whatsoever for the brand to send them together, in my opinion. Just think about it: If you were the brand and this was planned all along, would you send the packages together or would you send the empty displays first to ensure the influencers have a genuine reaction in their content? And then send the bags a few days afterwards? It's much easier to let influencers wonder why they received an empty box with no explanation rather then reveal the entire PR stunt to them and ask them to act it out. If even one influencer would have said no to that, their whole stunt would've been spoilered. So it would have been a huge risk to reveal the PR stunt and send the packages together. And it would have been badly planned if they did it that way.

I'm so glad you mentioned how environmentally unfriendly these packages are. And then to not even fill them?!?! What a complete disaster.

Would also go great with the mob wife aesthetic right now (I know, it's a fad and probably cringe in 3 weeks, but still). There are so many possibilities to have a cool twist, I don't understand it.

I feel like this is partially an attempt at calling out elf for constantly duping them, as elf just released a short film “cosmetic criminals” about stolen makeup. And in this PR stunt, Charlotte Tilbury said stuff like “the one that should be reporting a cosmetic crime is me”, “no one can steal my beauty DNA” and “If you want the REAL thing, the ORIGINAL. It’s Charlotte Tilbury every time.” It’s quite a blatant hit at elf dupes. Kelly Gooch made a pretty good video explaining it.

I think Charlotte went on a rant over ELF “stealing” from CT and this was a PR stunt to try and make it seem like it was all part of a campaign. They’re just trying to make it look less messy.

I wouldn’t believe Mikayla for anything. However, the fact that CT made a low budget version of the elf video makes sense. They’re probably getting back at them for making low budget versions of their makeup and usually quickly after a CT launch. This all makes sense to me.

Now the real PR stunt is getting people talking about whether it was a stunt or an accident 😂

I'm sorry to say this.... but I cannot watch CT ads. I quickly mute them. They are so over the top, and not in a good way. But you have to give them credit for sending the lipsticks in evidence bags. That was genius!

E.L.F. obviously has a very creative ad team with a fabulous sense of humor! As I'm enjoying a binge watch session, I keep getting a hilarious Judge Judy spoof called Judge Beauty! I's short, it's quick, it's very funny!

I love your videos!

The “beauty crime” was that “acting!”

Robert: "Please just tell me, I won't tell anyone" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 This was a fun video!❤

Just found your page. Lovin it. Totally binging on u rn

This is a sort of obscure and very American reference but I sort of imagine the scene from The Brave Little Toaster where the old junk cars are all sad because they’re junk and they’ve been discarded….i imagine this scene but with all the PR products just sad and forgotten singing about how they used to be viral lol

"Worthless"!!!! To this day, it's still way too dark a song to be in a kid's movie. A bunch of broken, used, past-their-prime cars singing about no one wanting them before dying before our eyes.

IM SO GLAD you mentioned what a waste of packaging this is, for absolutely nothing. So wasteful, what a disappointment.

I do agree with you.I ordered from their website before often had some missing items specifically during the sale.

The poor pup at 9:48 was like 'nop, not going along with this bullshit'.

I was cringing so much through this. CT didnt hit the mark with this one

“This is a shallow paddle” I’m HERE for it

Definitely planned and definitely so so funny

Got the notification for this and I’m straight here. Charlotte Tilbury has never been a brand I’ve particulary been into, yet I love the goss surrounding it.

Also totally agree with you regarding the ridiculous packaging. So so so bad for the environment, people might keep them for a bit but ultimately they will end up being binned!

DAWWWLING, I'm here for the doggy paddles and your commentary on these topics.

Some people have said that this was a jab at ELF duping them, which is hilarious to me bc the consumers are largely supportive of duping as a whole 😭 did they think we were going to suddenly turn on the brand that makes low cost, quality versions of their overpriced products and without the shady company history to boot?

They got caught sourcing from North Korea and everyone ignored it because "MUH CHEAP MAKEUP". I dropped them at that point. Makeup lasts a while and there are much better brands. I used to trust them for having safe, cheap ingredients, but they are actually shady. Turns out they are sweatshop makeup. How did you think you got things for $2 USD? It obviously wasn't through honesty. It was through exploiting people. But never throw out the makeup you already bought, that just means you're causing more waste. I used up what I had and that was it. I still have my ELF brushes. They'll probably outlast a nuclear war. I can also think Charlotte Tillbury is overpriced, overhyped, and absolutely tasteless on everyone. But unfortunately as someone who used to love ELF? I know. Was an unfortunate "makeup breakup" but we learn and we grow. Cheap makeup means blood on our hands.

A solid third of all watchers immediately hit the like button upon opening the video😂We already know!😂

I was scrolling thru KZread shorts and I did catch one of these videos where the person received the lip liners but no lipsticks. This is really so crazy… [edit]: Also, speaking of elf, what do y’all think about the theories that the CT videos were throwing shade at elf and the “steal my DNA” is a reference to their duping of some of her products?

There’s a comment on here saying a creator did a video on this and yes they were supposed to report the lipsticks missing as a “crime” bc e.l.f did their crime ad. But I think it was a mistake maybe then they made something up on the fly?

​@@SimplyCheryllol I have worked in PR and there's no way whatsoever it was a mistake, for many reasons. When you are creating marketing pieces like this you have to order each item used, someone assembles the PR package, at least one other person goes through a checklist to 1.) Make sure nothing is missing 2.) Make sure products are in the right place and 3.) Quality control for any defects. They spend a lot of money on marketing and promoting, and it will backfire badly if you screw things up or people get damaged goods and give it a bad review. They sent this PR to people like Mikayla with HUGE audiences, so they wouldn't screw up this huge accidentally. How would they not notice all these lipsticks they ordered were still sitting there? 😂 That's the product, that's the most important part! If it were one person who received no lipsticks it's possible it was an accident but everyone did. And as much as most of us think it's a bad campaign, just how much free attention did they get? Now even people who didn't get their PR package are making videos and folks are talking, it worked!

Excited to sit down with lunch and watch this
