Has anyone applied for PR and never got an email/message from the brand but received a surprise package one day?

Which brands do that usually? I have filled loads of applications, but I never got any feedback.

PR Packages

Hi guys, how are you doing? ☺️

I was just curious, has any of you collaborated with Dasique before? Did they contact you or did you email them?

Dasique is one of my favourite makeup brands, and I'd be more than thrilled to collaborate with them one day. 🥹

Dasique Collaboration

Hi guys, how's it going?

Would you have any recommendations for getting rid of dark circles and fine lines under the eyes? I have been looking up some products, but I am not sure exactly what to get. I am interested in eye creams and masks. Any recommendations is welcome. Thank you! 🥺

Dark bags under eyes & fine lines

There are loads of discussions going on about brands that do paid collaborations and how some of them are not paying their content creators enough when they do collaborate, or not pay them at all, or ask too much from them.

There are also cases when people receive gifted products, but brands send them a "to do list" and seemingly requires more work than a paid collaboration would. 

I can't say that I am familiar to any of them, because I never collaborated with a brand before. My question is, which would you prefer? Would you prefer a gifted collaboration, where you can do your own thing and not feel pressured or would you go for the paid one?

Paid collabs or gifted collab?

Could anybody recommend any pore primers? I have enlarged pores. I have looked up a few products, but I'd love to hear what you're using. 😊

Pore primer recommendations

Designed for deep pore cleansing and sebum control, this clay stick mask contains Centella Asiatica. Known for its soothing and healing properties, it calms irritated skin and reduces redness. 

The stick also contains 4 types of clays and red bean powder. The clays in the mask absorb the excess of oil and impurities from the pores, leaving the skin fresh and clean. 

The mask also provides mild exfoliation, so a change in skin texture can be noticed. 

My skin can be very sensitive sometimes, so I was a bit nervous when I applied the product, but after using it, my skin was very smooth and my pores were visibly tightened. 

It's still early to say, but so far, I am very pleased with the result.

This powder is a real holy grail! It is by far the best blurring powder I have ever tried.

I love how the powder comes out only when the mesh is pressed, which makes it so travel friendly, and also controls the amount of powder you're getting. A little goes a long way!

It contains Blue Hyaluronic Acid, so it's grea for oily skin (that would be me) but it's also good for dry skin, finishing the makeup without feeling dry and giving it a blurred velvety appearance.

I can't recommend this product enough, and I will definitely buy it again! 😍

Couldn't find any bad things about this product. 

Unlike other lip tints, these babies offer long-lasting colour that stays on your lips for hours, they are lightweight, they keep your lips hydrated AND they come with a pleasant fruity scent! What more could I ask for? 😍

I think this product is amazing, I am very happy with it. 

The SKINFOOD Royal Honey Propolis Enrich Essence is a highly regarded skincare product known for its nourishing and revitalizing properties. The key ingredients include propolis extract, royal jelly and honey extract. This essence provides deep hydration to the skin, helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and it has anti-microbial properties. It can be used twice daily, in the morning and evening.

The downside is that it's not long lasting. I've put it on today and it didn't last for one hour. I would not buy it again.
Also, when I received it, it was broken so I had to use some glue to fix it. 

This is actually a nice tint. It doesn't dry my lips, it's not sticky and it's very light. It also has a nice sweet scent.
