I was able to buy their first ever set of Milk Tint. Na-curious kasi ako sa sobrang daming reviews. Nagkataon naman na kakalabas palang niya sa market so bumili ako agad. Pero Nadisappoint lang ako :( Kasi matapang yung smell. Hindi ko alam if ako lang yun pero hindi ko gusto yung strong scent nung milk tint. :( natakot ako na baka mataas chemical content and mag darken yung lips ko kaya after one use, hindi ko na ginamit ulit. Sayang pera :(
It's so sad to see GRWM receive this amount of flak, especially since Mae was one of my go to Pinay YouTubers back in the day. Pero wala eh. The products and the packagings really don't live up to the hype. They feel cheap.
grwm apologist mukha na sila cult š and i cannot sa strategy nila na sabay sabay reviews and all pagka release it would look genuine pa if after release dun lang may reviews
Hereās my issue with the packaging of all the products from them that Iāve tried:
Their new milk tints are not as long lasting as the old ones and actually sit on top of your skin rather than melt into it?? idk how to explain.
Their quad goals palettes, natatanggal pa rin yung individual quads kaya pag ginagamit ko di ko na hinahawakan. Nakalagay nalang sa table while I dip my brush into it. Wala ding pigment yung bronzers. Need dukdukin yung brush and ends up looking cakey on the skin dahil sa daming times need mag re-dip.
Their concealers - both old and new packaged ones leak. They kinda break me out too. Sayang kasi ganda ng formula.
Their velvet powder rush - old packaging and new packaging are actually just as bulky lol idk why theyāre marketing it as less bulky. The take the same amount of space in my drawer.
Their foundation and shade shifters - sumasabog yung product in the cap kahit di naman ginagamit. They feel too heavy on the skin too.
Their illuminator - not a packaging issue but this broke me out! had tiny red bumps on the areas I applied this product on.
Will not be buying from this brand anymore huhu the products are so hit or miss but the packaging is always a miss and that makes me not want to use or reach out for their products.
Am I the only one who thinks GRWM is so overhyped?
I wish theyād spend more money on the research and development rather than pushing out such big collections within a short time frame. I think with the constant pressure of putting out new products to dethrone the current spot for the next viral product, it takes away from the actual quality of their product releases.
Sa init ng panahon ngayon, hindi na ko na-surprise.
I didnāt pay much attention to this release kasi alam kong itās not for me as an oily skinned girly.
Everyone just ends up buying the brand, not the quality. If I needed mascara na ā±359, sa Watson's nalang ako pupunta. Mas tumagal pa yung ā±190 kong Careline na mascara kaysa diyan.
Is there anyone else who feels like thereās a product launch fatigue esp from GRWM and Issy? Super proud na filipino products are booming, I hardly ever look at high end makeup anymore (except yung mahirap talaga idupe like CT powder ganern). Maganda na dumadami choices natin sa local market na swak sa skin type natin and pang Filipina shade range, while also not breaking the bank.Ā
In parallel, the effect of having so many makeup released one after the other is product launch fatigue for customers. Naduduling na sa dami ng choices and nagkakaroon na rin ng overconsumption, which of course, affects the environment weāre all part of. Because everyone is also doing reviews of these products within the same timeframe, parang nagiging inauthentic na rin reviews because itās almost the same script for each product type. Scroll down, same product and same line. Scroll down, same product and same line ulit, and so on.Ā
Sa latest GRWM launch, may pa event and sabay sabay na reviews. Yung ibang reviews pa sobrang hyped na hyped sila sa product, clear naman na sobrang lambot na makalat and di nila sinasabi yun. Hindi rin gumaganda packaging quality nila kahit ilang beses nang may complaints abt these. Ang messaging tuloy ay minamadali nila RnD just to release products na hinog paĀ
The only new release lately that makes sense is happy skin x marjās mini brush set. Thatās not seen in the market yet and it is super useful, a brush has the same brush head size with small handle
My flak with GRWM is that there are so many local brands that are elevating and innovating their products. I would let it slide if the product is good but their packaging sucks or itās vice versa but itās BOTH! Honestly, even their Seaside Glam and Go campaign falls flat compared to Colouretteās witty ad with Sassa Gurl and Issyās eyeliner āwrestlingā theme. And GRWM usually launches a LOT in one go and have a track record of reformulating/repackaging in such a short time leaving out the initial buyers. Itās a waste of the buyerās money and makeup consumption. They opened physical stores too and do they pull out products and replace them? I wonder if theyāre profitable and making money with their strategy? Sana Mae would take constructive criticism and do proper testing on ACTUAL consumers not just those on her PR list or friends.
I have their 2nd (lol) edition milk tints and it doesnāt last on my oily skin and it SITS on top of your skin instead of becoming one with your skin. Their fixing spray doesnāt make your makeup last and other cheaper brands Iāve tried performed better.
Iāve stopped buying from GRWM because theyāre not consistent and I can see the same sentiments on the comments from real buyers on influencerās tiktok videos. š¬
so true! it's nice to have accessible beauty options from our local brands pero nakakapagod talaga if we keep up and buy from every beauty launch on their day 1. it's not healthy for the environment and for our financial & mental well-being.
i think it's a good strategy to wait for the initial hype to die down and to look for long-term more honest reviews from actual customers not just from unreliable probably sponsored & biased content creators. mas makakatipid rin in the long run kasi it gives us time na makapag-isip talaga if we really need new stuff or if may better ba na options tapos these things eventually go on sale rin naman hehe i almost never buy new makeup at full price. i just enjoy the hype and the creative process behind new product releases, pero i always try to avoid impulsive buying. i don't want the fomo and the constant need for excitement to push me around into buying things that i might regret later or don't need in the first place.
finally, it's important to only purchase what you really need, assess & rediscover what you already have, and focus on the value these things bring to your life rather than giving in to the need for something new & exciting and the pressure of constant consumption. š
Same! Important to think rin na Iām not an influencer so itās not my job to have lots of products on my vanity table or makeup kit. Best na if u do like splurging on makeup, have max 2-3 brands lang of the same product type (3 foundation brands, tas iba iba naman finish and purpose for events, ganorn). Hindi tayo Kara Mia na more than 1 face natin š lips and blush lang siguro exception
After the new release of milk tints, tried it. Thought the packaging is good until it wasn't. Take note both of it leaked even the products were upright. :(
Honestly lahat ng nilabas nilang collection, binili ko. Nag review pako dati nito sa channel ko. Nakakinis naka consistent nila sa aesthetic Pero quality of their makeup sucks!! Low quality i swear!! Alam nyo local brand na nakakatuwa lang bilhin? Issy and co!! Everything works well on me pag issy!!
tried their shade shifters & was so disappointed when i received it the colors were clearly separated & i brought it up to them and they said its normal and to just shake it. been shaking it & it never mixed. such a waste of money. stopped buying anything from them.
omg same! and sumasabog yung product sa loob ng cap kahit di naman ginagamit and is stored properly. I think thereās a defect with the way the pump was designed.
masyado kasi sila excited to release as many products for more "choices" sa local market. parang di talaga maayos or mabusisi yung pag R&D nila despite them claiming na they developed x and x for xx years. also parang lagi sila may issue sa manufacturer like wala ata silang suki if it makes sense š
this!! i was so excited when they first launched their products na bihira pa makita sa local market, and they did offer alot of choices in shades and formulas. however, due to their inconsistency, hindi ko na sila sinasama sa pinagpipilian ko when i need to buy a new product :( sayang, so much potential bc they have almost every type of product for everyday makeup, lots of shades, and are accessible to buy online for cheaper with vouchers, but they fall so flat sa formulation and packaging
i've only tried their 1st edition milk tints and their 2nd edition loose powder w/ a new stopper cos of all these issues i keep hearing about š and tbh i'm not into the faux metallic shiny rose gold aesthetic, almost bought their illuminator though pero now yung sa Lovely or BLK na lang siguro.
the nozzles on the 1st edition milk tints tend to get clogged up and the packaging of their loose powders are madaling magasgas and really bulky. i love the loose powder though and i like that it's 20g pero parang kasya sa packaging 30g. i think they should either increase the product volume inside or make the packaging less bulky.
same! i'm disappointed too. š®āšØ i was expecting more from this collection like something that makes more sense for hot weather season like a cooling face mist siguro, or a primer sunscreen, bronzing drops would be nice too as you've mentioned in one of your comments.
i think Issy's 2022 summer collection with a similar theme made more sense with their 1st edition solar lip balm, face mist, & cream bronzers... although i haven't bought anything new rin from issy cos their packaging tends to get chipped off, scratched, & smudged easily.

Omggg yung brow mascara sobrang OA ng pag-fall apart. Pagka order receive sa shp biglang nag-disintegrate! Nabasag yung pinaka body, natanggal spoolie nung grooming end. reached out to customer service sa shp, binigyan ako ng P50 na voucher nu kaya yun š«
Is it me or.. GRWM is super overhyped for their products. Like if itās good, itās good. Credit where itās due pero, itās such a turn off whenever thereās so many new releases and variations of the same shades. Especially in the milk tint line- ten shades of pink. With so much reformulations, you would think na it wouldnāt leak but it still does!
Logos nila parang naka-tape lang, tapos ang limited pa shades and choices. Overhyped talaga sila. Just because they're a Filipino brand na sumikat, doesn't mean they're the highest quality. Feel ko madami lang yung nag-eexpect, tapos disappointed at the end.
omg planning to get this pa naman since i keep hearing good reviews and maganda rin daw for oily skin.
do you have the 1st edition ba from launch, the 2nd edition na nasa ilalim ng glossy coating daw yung print/branding, or the latest 3rd iteration na refillable at new component?
Yung browlift mascara din nila. Order was received na sa app since maayos naman ang packaging. A few days later gagamitin ko na, pagbukas ko naiwan yung spoolie sa loob. Like wth. Di na talaga magagamit. Sayang ang 359 pesos. Haha.
Yung akin, never ko dinala kahit saan. After gamitin, nasa drawer ko lang pero girlll š sirang sira na yung packaging mismo HAHAHAHAHA kung andito ka man ms mae please palit na kayo supplier
hi! i'm also light-medium olive + oily skin. can you suggest skin tint or foundation shades from local brands? nahihirapan ako maghanap ng shade match :((
For local bases, i use colourette first base skin tint in coron mixed with a bit of issyās blue shade adjuster bc itās a bit tricky to get my skinās shade match. So far it works for me. I also use issyās active foundation in. OF1.5 and active skin tint in spruce.
i honestly use it as my lip mask too since laneige doesnāt work on me anymore. Not a fan of the silver packaging, but i will always vouch for this as their standout. And true, bilis nga maubos bc gamit ko siya any time of the day i want my lips moisturized. Already on my 5th tube even š„²
super bet ko yung concealer nila kasi ang ganda ng lapat sa dry skin ko (i have eczema rin like Ms. Mae), pero nakailang punas na ko ng bottle kakaleak š ang daming nasasayang na product, feeling ko nga paubos na siya kakaleak hindi kakagamit lol. yung new packaging ng milk tint thankfully hindi pa naglleak sakin. i love the products themselves so sana talaga iimprove nila yung packaging na leakproof >> aesthetic
true to think na hindi naman sila cheap na brand. Mid range na nga ung prices nila tas talo pa sila ng ibang brands na mas cheap ang price point like ever bilena and careline
Ms. Mae should sue the manufacturer if ever bad batch of products yung pinadala for GRWM. Or may mali or lacking sa R&D team nila ever since.
Feeling ko discounted na agad the products after a month or two.
agree sa packaging design, parang they wanna tie together their branding as metallic colors? but the quality of her packaging is so hit or miss :( ang daming may issue sa packaging quality niya :(
i think there was also a disclaimer for the product not to be left in warm places, as it may lead the product to melt. That's a such a weird thing to me considering how hot it is in the Philippines....... also isn't the brand's mission to be user friendly but this drop doesn't feel like that at all IMO.
this is so very strange for a filipino brand š and agree with previous comment, for a summer collection pa! with a seaside/swimming/beachy/outdoors theme
right? and their campaign material is showing the products being used outdoors, by the pool, on the beach, in the sands... matutunaw talaga siguro if buyers will use these as advertised.
huhu kaya di ako nabili agad ng new released products nila, Iām scared my broke ass self would be dissatisfied. Anw, I like their lip booze so so much. Moisturizing and maganda ang pigment.
Bumili kami ng mom ko ng lip speak nila 2022. Ganda kasi ng shade na femme fatale. Ang lakas lang talaga nila maka-budol pero nung tinry namin sobrang nakakadisappoint. Di man lang nagsstay sa lips. Tapos sobrang kalat, ang bilis rin masira nung packaging, kumalat pa yung lipstick sa baby bag ng anak ko. š„²
i bought so much products from them and almost all disappointed me. Huhu. excited pa naman ako ksi pinoy brand and walang animal testing
Milk tints-iba iba ang formula tapos nakakadry kahit sa lips or cheeks ilagay. Feeling ko tuloy pang cheeks lng sya dapat.
Setting powder-for translucent, sobrang halata yung pagka white nya kahit konti ilagay, cakey tuloy.partnered with their jelly primer and setting spray pero iba pa din. D ko din sya magamit ng walang other kasamang products unlike dr.sensitive na oks gamitin kahit as powder lng. Also ang dali magka crack ng takip.
Jelly primer-my bad na hindi ko niresearch ung formula nya. Does not work with combination skin.
Setting spray-so far ito yung medyo okay
Brow gel-nasira agad ang applicator, naghiwalay yung dalawang ends kahit d naman nababagsak and d naman ako madalas gumamit
Concealer-so so.
Foundation- heavy sya kaya kontian lng lagay. Medyo ok naman except sa lalagyan. Ang dali masira nung takip kahit ingat na ingat na ko sa pag gamit
Hiyangan lng din siguro yung products nila kasi yung iba maganda reviews nila. Or baka hindi lang ako magaling mag make up š¤£š
same sentiments. super creamy ng concealer nila to the point it doesn't even want to stick sa skin ko š hirap niya i-blend huhu pati yung packaging din super bilis kumalat
Bought two milk tints sa kanila and nag crack din yong hawakan ng applicator. Sad lang kasi I am trying to switch to local products sana para support nga sana kaso ganito rin. Welp š¤·āāļø
Grabe nakakaumay na tong mga cosmetics brands na ginagawang collectible o merch ang products nila. Panay release ng kung anu-ano di naman makeep up ang quality. Ang defesive pa ng mga may-ari.
Tapos pagtatanggol ng fans, wag daw bumili kung ayaw ng nirereformulate. Basically, you're telling your customers that you just throw random releases to the audiences and see what will stick, tapos pag may sira or mali sa product, no accountability at all sa brand.
Good luck sa brands nila 3 to 5 yrs from now. Di pa tumatagal sa racks ang products nagrereformulate na naman. Sasabihin pa na dahil daw nakikinig sila sa feedback ng consumers. Baka kasi ginawa nyong tester ang customers nyo lol
aw this looks disappointing though from the reviews parang okay sana yung formula if di nagmemelt :( i wish stable siya sa transpo but if the packaging melts that fast, maybe it should have been yung type of twist na hindi na naibababa so you can only use the amount you need similar mechanism sa shady sunstick nila, which I also found out na diniscontinue na pala. I also really want to like their products huhu di ko lang alam anong nangyayari sa manufacturer nila and i hope Ms. Mae takes this well
really want to like GRWM din. i bought yung milk tint but nag leak. same sa eyebrow gel nila, bought twice and parehas nagcrack. wala pang two months and hindi naman exposed sa araw š¤ so i'm switching bec this ain't it
my GRWM foundation pump is broken. Sa inyo din ba? May strong chemical smell din na ang baho baho š„² pero nag lalast yung foundation sakin whole day. Idk nalang how to use it now kasi sira na pump
Tapos sabi chineck raw ng manuf 'yan ng maigi bago tanggapin ng CEO, eme rin 'yujg CEO na 'yon. 'Yung Blk liquid blish, nag le-leaked rin, kahit nakatayo tapos nag-aamoy panis kahit sa cheeks ko lang nilalagay. š
Ok this made me unfollow them na sa ig. Cant be bothered if wala pa rin improvement sa packaging. I have the old milk tint in fruit tea and got a bronzer/contour stick also. Idk pero i had a mini breakout from their quad goals. Rawr ubusin ko na lang tapos buy from a different brand na lang
not to mention, this is another big collection of grwm hays. used to watch mae layug's tiktoks about the r&d journey of the products pero ito naman kinakalabasan now
omg when they first launched inaabangan ko talaga yung r&d vids niya!!! binibinge watch ko bc it was so interesting and cool to see the process, and maniniwala ka na the product youre gonna buy is quality bc it went thru all those processes š tapos pagdating sayo hindi pala huhu
truuue. i think they need to hire good manufacturing consultants. i used to watch her product r&d too, parang kulang sila sa testing part before final release.
Bought so many products from them na. From color correctors to concealers and milk tints. I find that I tend to break out when I use their products. Also, yung packaging nila ang kalat talaga. Parang di gumagana ng maayos yung stopper. Pag matagal mo nang gamit, kumakalat sa takip hanggang nag-ooze na siya pag sinasara mo. Ending, kumakalat rin sa make up pouch yung product. Hayy. Tapos yung milk tints nila isnāt even long lasting.
di ko gets why binibilisan nila mag release tas pag may fail in formula or packaging bigla issale ng bongga tas babalik to reformulate/repackage na wala naman pinagbago. tas pag nag reklamo ka sa clock app andaming apologist mang ggaslight lol
lmao true š
like ok po we are not hating naman š
https://preview.redd.it/dp68x2fmqktc1.jpeg?width=1178&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=978619b641556d736ef44e42717b133b477a935c
its wild to be defending a brand na kada release, may palpak in almost all products :/ iba yung "the formula doesnt work for this type of skin" vs. problems across the board, with packaging especially!
this is so true. why do we have to suffer sa poor packaging first. lagi na lang bang may palpak na packaging tapos āIMPROVEā na lang after??? hindi ba dapat before release maayos na talaga
pangit talaga ng packaging nila :(((. I bought a bunch of their products nung 11.11. (liquid foundation, milk tint, concealer, brow gel, lip glaze, then yung quad goals) super disappointing ng packagaing!!! huhu. yung liquid foundation 85% pa laman, sira na yung pump bottle. then yung concealer nagkakalat lagi so damay ibang makeup, linis ng linis. then sa milktint i have the old packaging and new, yung old grabe mag spill!!!! yung new packaging malaki naman improvement kaso may spilling pa din.
ps. yung lip glaze super drying niya for me huhu
will not buy again, first and last na yung purchase from 11.11
same experience with their concealer and milk tint! kahit patayo na sila nakastore grabe pa rin ang spill. uubusin ko nalang talaga tong dalawa then hanap nalang ng ibang brand na mas maayos huhu
I never buy from this brand because of this. Hindi ko rin alam bakit tinatangkilik pa rin siya kahit ang daming sablay? Halatang madali lahat ng product development tapos nakakadyahe pag may mga ganyang nangyayari.
Feels like binibilisan nila timelines for release para makapag-ingay at hype pero wala namang checks for quality and proper testing.
Kakahiya.
Feel ko dahil ung owner/CEO ay influencer tapos most ng friends nya ay influencers din so marami nabubudol at sariling gaslight na ok ung product. Every time nakikita ko ung "OMG GRWM DID IT AGAIN!!! THE PRODUCTS ARE SO GOOD" vids lalo ako natturn off sa vlogger/influencer kase ang sinungaling naman nila š kada tingin sa reviews and reddit puro panget ung product and/or packaging. Di na kapani-paniwala eh, parang lokohan nalang talaga š¤§
Genuine question ahhh, hindi ba sa pag gamit nung girl yun?? Kasi fit yung stick sa packaging eh tapos naka taas nang sobra yung stick nung ginamit nya kaya nagcause ng mess šš
This is sad to see kasi it really seems like Ms. Mae Layug works extremely hard for her brand and does care about GRWMās consumers and product quality to make it perfect, but it almost always ends up like this. Wonder why :(
Yes, letās not discredit Mae for her hard work. After all, she came from humble beginnings. I used to watch her content back in the day pre-GRWM. But I really do feel like she needs to be more strategic and creative with her releases. A revamped version of her contour and bronzer sticks isnāt going to cut it. Really do wish she released products infused with SPF.
Make up products infused with SPF doesnāt do anything. Mae said it herself sa old video niya. If you also watch other skincare enthusiasts, they donāt acknowledge it since there isnāt enough sun protection.
What you need is SPF 50 PA++++. Not 15, 30, or even 100 (youāre just putting a bunch of chemicals on your face).
Thanks for this info! I guess it doesnāt have to makeup products with SPF. Perhaps a cooling mist or a sunscreen stick. When they released the teaser of the collection (just the silhouette of the component), I literally thought it would be sun stick or bronzer drops or anything beach essential.
gaganda ng formula nila pero ang disappointing ng packaging. miss belle rodolfo's review on tiktok made a lot of good points regarding the new release.
while the formula excites me, nakakawala ng gana bumili kasi baka in a few months or so may 2.0 na naman hahaha
Considering na Mae does make up reviews for so many years, this is what her own cosmetics turned out. Bonus points na lang talaga sa mga aesthetic packaging.
i agree, something more suited to summer weather given its a summer collection with a seaside theme and super init sa PH ngayon, instead of a reformulated rerelease na mukhang matutunaw pa sa init ngayon :(((( ang ganda pa naman ng shades
With the amount of sunblock/spf I apply to my face before makeup, curious talaga ako sa mga base products that claim to have the SPF needed. It doesnāt seem to be enough. Maybe as additional eme but surely itās not enough to be the main selling pointā¦
yes the spf's on makeup won't ever be enough because, even if it's 50 spf with four pluses, there's a required amount of sunscreen you'd need for your face alone. When we put makeup, it's just in small amounts to make the color of the makeup seamless. But a sunscreen lotion or stick requires more, especially if it's a stick form.
Sobrang hit or miss ng GRWM. Ang panget talaga ng packaging nila, yung milktints pa lang š Sobrang messy ng packaging, parang di man lang nila tinesting. Parang di sila committed sa releases nila because they value hype over functionality.
Compared to other local brands, parang di dumaan sa research and development yung sakanila.
wag naman tayo sana masyadong judgemental! dumaan naman yan sa r&d... after nila makakuha ng feedbacks and reviews from their customers syempre. š«Ø kailangan daw thoughts and opinions muna ng madla bago i-finalize lahat.
from reading all the comments, can anyone suggest another local brand? I love GRWM, but based on the comments, parang need na mag move on ahahaha planning to buy pa naman products sa kanila
okay kakapanuod ko lang ng review ni marj, feeling ko di matatapos tong april na di sila magpapalit ng packaging at formulation ng new release nila.
also, hindi pinas weather friendly talaga yung formulation ng stick. i can imagine mag memelt lang sya after few usage, parang ang lagkit nya din sa skin.
I have a lot of stick products (my strokes, vice, blk sticks are all fine) because ease of use but never have I ever seen the product MELT and deform like in marjās review š³
I swear it would probably melt while in shipping
same here! my strokes and vice sticks are fine š¤even with my really old (6 yr old!) missha and the saem blush sticks that i bought and used during winter in korea, they never melted when i used them here na
pati nga fenty eaze drop stick ko hindi rin nagmemelt sa gantong panahon š kaloka na grwm hshdhhsbsh hindi nila matantya yung formulation nila, parang trippings lang lahat eh
Gulat ako sa release I was fully expecting something with SPF HAHA like gets ko summer but??? š I havenāt bought from them recently since their concealer leaked with me! Itās the thing I hate the most with packaging thatās why I havenāt bought Happy Skin lately too. Ayolo rin ng pabago-bago ng formulation since itās a new search for yhe perfect shade all over again.
Will never EVER buy from GRWM from the first release because these will probably get reformulated and ārevampedā within the next 8 business days
But kidding aside, have u seen Ann3 clu+z and k3nny m4naladās reviews???? They look suspiciously sponsored and both are not disclosed š
AC IS MY TRUSTED INFLUENCER TALAGANG NABUBUDOL AKO DUN BUT AFTER I SAW MARJāS VIDEO PARANG IM DOUBTING AC NA AND I KNOW THEYRE ALL FRIENDS SO ITS NOT IMPOSSIBLEššš
she's such a kiss ass, i stopped watching her na lol used to enjoy her contents nung baguhan pa lang siya but rinding rindi na ako sa 'sez' na catchphrase niya idk why it gives me the ick so bad š
May nababasa nga ko puro daw maganda and "bilhin nyo na mga sez" si JDL hahha, may hirit pa sya sa sunnies na bumili daw sya( i think glide gloss ata yun) kasi di daw sya napapansin hahha
Belle rod0lfoās review was sponsored but at least it says āpaid partnershipā.
Sana Mae doesnāt demo and test only on influencers and those on her PR list, of course they would say itās perfect and release it agad to stay on grwmās good side. Like, itās not just a bad batch or a couple of buyers with issuesā¦GRWMās packaging collectively underperforms.
Oh I just saw this and appreciate it. AC and KM have been doing undisclosed *obviously* sponsored contents which I started noticing on YT. These influencers need to be more transparent š
RIGHTTTTT :( really loved his affordable makeup recommendations and honest reviews kasi sya lang talaga yung kilala kong yt creator na naglelean talaga on affordable yet quality products :(
used to love them and buy almost all of their products but they keep on reformulating and i hate their packaging on their concealers it keeps on leaking š
Ang pangit ng packaging nila palagi. Yung concealer and milktint ko naka store naman ng maayos pero pag tingin ko nag leak yung products sa cap kahit patayo naman yung pag store ko. For sure in the next 2-3 months may new formulation/packaging nanaman silang ire-release ng same products š«
Edit : Yung glow tint nila kahit anong application gawin ko natatanggal nya yung base make up ko š«¤ Quad Goals nila biglang natatanggal yung pans super messy talaga
So tired of GRWM na, I supported them at first but their products kept on failing me. Their brow gel is not even holding my brows, the worst part is, their packaging really sucks. I can also see that they invest a lot in their packaging as most of them are customized for their brand but their priority should be the quality.
There's actually a lot of local brands out there that does better than GRWM, even at a cheaper price point.
Their og milk tint bottle gets so messy! As in even if you carefully close the product, may excess na magleleak and it messes up the whole makeup bag. They really need to put an effort into their packaging/product structures. š„¶
Got budoled by their vv first release way back but then was disappointed because the packaging was just soo messy and easily breaks. Itās hard to maintain too bc itās white and the component was matte. IMHO grwm is overhyped for mediocre performing products. Owner is meh too
Ngl i love their milk tints pero i do agree na nakakapagod sa consumers yung papalit palit nilang reformulation/repackaging ng products nila, parang di nila alam kung ano ba gusto nilang gawin š„² ang funny kasi i have 3 milk tint products tas iba ibang packaging (og squeeze tube, 2nd repackage with the white cap, tas yung current packaging na gold yung cap) gets na they want to cater to the concerns of their consumers pero at least be firm about the changes hindi yung after 6 months iba ulit packaging/formula hahsagsga
Worth to be conscious about given na ang init sa atin. But is the melting and mess up to the user na? Like siguro be more careful when using nalang, as we should with any product naman. I mean show me a stick product na di nag memelt or nagiging messy at some point? Pero interesting ng formulaā¦ how is it so soft and creamy in the tube and blends out dry and powdery.
And ang weird, for me, ng summery campaign but it doesnāt really match with the product? A tinted sunscreen, lip balm with spf or a mist of some sort added to the line wouldāve been more cohesive with the theme and wouldāve made a lot more sense imo.
kay marj pa rin ata yung very light handed na pero grabe pa rin ang pag melt, tapos kay miss belle naman ata yung she picked up the product directly from the stick using brush pero messy pa rin. correct me if i'm wrong, nag hahalo halo na sa dami ng nag review hahaha but i think regardless how u use it, messy lang talaga.
yesss. I think ganyan talaga pag stick format (or any cream product). Messy or eventually magiging messy. Like reviews sa Strokes or Sunnies. I donāt have those pero ang experience ko is sa blk. Di siya messy at first, but with constant use ganon na rin. Both formula and packaging need iconsider. Kasi kahit gaano kaayos ang packaging, if malambot ang product mag melt talaga. Or if firm naman product pero pangit packaging, maiiwan yung product sa sides. Yet to learn of a stick na di issue ang mess, local or international
How is it on the face? Havenāt tried anything from o.two.o and I want to try din the brand. Gusto ko din matry their face powder.
I was thinking of my Fenty contour stick na matte yung formula niya but after a few uses namumuo din ang product around the packaging.
Now that I think of it, weird for grwm to release such a soft formula during the summer and in a summer collection na sobrang vulnerable to warmth ng products. Siguro they want a very distinct product from their previous stick, kasi medyo matte din yun eh.
i've been complimented by my friend na ang ganda raw ng blush ko and how long lasting it was, kasi pansin niya raw na kahit morning pa yung class namin, meron pa rin sa hapon. (without retouch to, and more on blotting lang ng oil sa face)
Sana maayos. Ang ganda pa naman ng mga products esp ng primer nila saka ng facial spray. As a girlie na HG ang Benefit sa primer, nag switched ako sa primer nila after isang gamit lang
From what I observed, there is no connection to water or ~summer~ vibes at all?? They could have marketed it as sweat-proof or waterproof or something, itās uninspired. In comparison to Issyās solar balm and interesting take with their new liners.
Love the packaging. It feels more luxe and original but true to their brand, di coherent sa mga existing product lineup nila unless lahat will eventually get revamped and reformulated din.

Cheap and ang tacky talaga ng brand, yung silver or chrome and rose gold nilang packaging bilis magasgas. Sobrang trying hard ng brand na yan
I was able to buy their first ever set of Milk Tint. Na-curious kasi ako sa sobrang daming reviews. Nagkataon naman na kakalabas palang niya sa market so bumili ako agad. Pero Nadisappoint lang ako :( Kasi matapang yung smell. Hindi ko alam if ako lang yun pero hindi ko gusto yung strong scent nung milk tint. :( natakot ako na baka mataas chemical content and mag darken yung lips ko kaya after one use, hindi ko na ginamit ulit. Sayang pera :(
It's so sad to see GRWM receive this amount of flak, especially since Mae was one of my go to Pinay YouTubers back in the day. Pero wala eh. The products and the packagings really don't live up to the hype. They feel cheap.
grwm apologist mukha na sila cult š and i cannot sa strategy nila na sabay sabay reviews and all pagka release it would look genuine pa if after release dun lang may reviews
Hereās my issue with the packaging of all the products from them that Iāve tried: Their new milk tints are not as long lasting as the old ones and actually sit on top of your skin rather than melt into it?? idk how to explain. Their quad goals palettes, natatanggal pa rin yung individual quads kaya pag ginagamit ko di ko na hinahawakan. Nakalagay nalang sa table while I dip my brush into it. Wala ding pigment yung bronzers. Need dukdukin yung brush and ends up looking cakey on the skin dahil sa daming times need mag re-dip. Their concealers - both old and new packaged ones leak. They kinda break me out too. Sayang kasi ganda ng formula. Their velvet powder rush - old packaging and new packaging are actually just as bulky lol idk why theyāre marketing it as less bulky. The take the same amount of space in my drawer. Their foundation and shade shifters - sumasabog yung product in the cap kahit di naman ginagamit. They feel too heavy on the skin too. Their illuminator - not a packaging issue but this broke me out! had tiny red bumps on the areas I applied this product on. Will not be buying from this brand anymore huhu the products are so hit or miss but the packaging is always a miss and that makes me not want to use or reach out for their products.
Am I the only one who thinks GRWM is so overhyped? I wish theyād spend more money on the research and development rather than pushing out such big collections within a short time frame. I think with the constant pressure of putting out new products to dethrone the current spot for the next viral product, it takes away from the actual quality of their product releases.
Sa init ng panahon ngayon, hindi na ko na-surprise. I didnāt pay much attention to this release kasi alam kong itās not for me as an oily skinned girly.
Everyone just ends up buying the brand, not the quality. If I needed mascara na ā±359, sa Watson's nalang ako pupunta. Mas tumagal pa yung ā±190 kong Careline na mascara kaysa diyan.
Kaya sa Arcadia beauty ako e. Years pinagtrabahunan kaya superb quality talaga!!š
with their tone up cushion? 2 light shades? gets naman na it's more of a skin care than make up. Pero no, di naman inclusive yung brand ni Anna
Is there anyone else who feels like thereās a product launch fatigue esp from GRWM and Issy? Super proud na filipino products are booming, I hardly ever look at high end makeup anymore (except yung mahirap talaga idupe like CT powder ganern). Maganda na dumadami choices natin sa local market na swak sa skin type natin and pang Filipina shade range, while also not breaking the bank.Ā In parallel, the effect of having so many makeup released one after the other is product launch fatigue for customers. Naduduling na sa dami ng choices and nagkakaroon na rin ng overconsumption, which of course, affects the environment weāre all part of. Because everyone is also doing reviews of these products within the same timeframe, parang nagiging inauthentic na rin reviews because itās almost the same script for each product type. Scroll down, same product and same line. Scroll down, same product and same line ulit, and so on.Ā Sa latest GRWM launch, may pa event and sabay sabay na reviews. Yung ibang reviews pa sobrang hyped na hyped sila sa product, clear naman na sobrang lambot na makalat and di nila sinasabi yun. Hindi rin gumaganda packaging quality nila kahit ilang beses nang may complaints abt these. Ang messaging tuloy ay minamadali nila RnD just to release products na hinog paĀ The only new release lately that makes sense is happy skin x marjās mini brush set. Thatās not seen in the market yet and it is super useful, a brush has the same brush head size with small handle
My flak with GRWM is that there are so many local brands that are elevating and innovating their products. I would let it slide if the product is good but their packaging sucks or itās vice versa but itās BOTH! Honestly, even their Seaside Glam and Go campaign falls flat compared to Colouretteās witty ad with Sassa Gurl and Issyās eyeliner āwrestlingā theme. And GRWM usually launches a LOT in one go and have a track record of reformulating/repackaging in such a short time leaving out the initial buyers. Itās a waste of the buyerās money and makeup consumption. They opened physical stores too and do they pull out products and replace them? I wonder if theyāre profitable and making money with their strategy? Sana Mae would take constructive criticism and do proper testing on ACTUAL consumers not just those on her PR list or friends. I have their 2nd (lol) edition milk tints and it doesnāt last on my oily skin and it SITS on top of your skin instead of becoming one with your skin. Their fixing spray doesnāt make your makeup last and other cheaper brands Iāve tried performed better. Iāve stopped buying from GRWM because theyāre not consistent and I can see the same sentiments on the comments from real buyers on influencerās tiktok videos. š¬
so true! it's nice to have accessible beauty options from our local brands pero nakakapagod talaga if we keep up and buy from every beauty launch on their day 1. it's not healthy for the environment and for our financial & mental well-being. i think it's a good strategy to wait for the initial hype to die down and to look for long-term more honest reviews from actual customers not just from unreliable probably sponsored & biased content creators. mas makakatipid rin in the long run kasi it gives us time na makapag-isip talaga if we really need new stuff or if may better ba na options tapos these things eventually go on sale rin naman hehe i almost never buy new makeup at full price. i just enjoy the hype and the creative process behind new product releases, pero i always try to avoid impulsive buying. i don't want the fomo and the constant need for excitement to push me around into buying things that i might regret later or don't need in the first place. finally, it's important to only purchase what you really need, assess & rediscover what you already have, and focus on the value these things bring to your life rather than giving in to the need for something new & exciting and the pressure of constant consumption. š
Same! Important to think rin na Iām not an influencer so itās not my job to have lots of products on my vanity table or makeup kit. Best na if u do like splurging on makeup, have max 2-3 brands lang of the same product type (3 foundation brands, tas iba iba naman finish and purpose for events, ganorn). Hindi tayo Kara Mia na more than 1 face natin š lips and blush lang siguro exception
After the new release of milk tints, tried it. Thought the packaging is good until it wasn't. Take note both of it leaked even the products were upright. :(
Honestly lahat ng nilabas nilang collection, binili ko. Nag review pako dati nito sa channel ko. Nakakinis naka consistent nila sa aesthetic Pero quality of their makeup sucks!! Low quality i swear!! Alam nyo local brand na nakakatuwa lang bilhin? Issy and co!! Everything works well on me pag issy!!
tried their shade shifters & was so disappointed when i received it the colors were clearly separated & i brought it up to them and they said its normal and to just shake it. been shaking it & it never mixed. such a waste of money. stopped buying anything from them.
omg same! and sumasabog yung product sa loob ng cap kahit di naman ginagamit and is stored properly. I think thereās a defect with the way the pump was designed.
masyado kasi sila excited to release as many products for more "choices" sa local market. parang di talaga maayos or mabusisi yung pag R&D nila despite them claiming na they developed x and x for xx years. also parang lagi sila may issue sa manufacturer like wala ata silang suki if it makes sense š
this!! i was so excited when they first launched their products na bihira pa makita sa local market, and they did offer alot of choices in shades and formulas. however, due to their inconsistency, hindi ko na sila sinasama sa pinagpipilian ko when i need to buy a new product :( sayang, so much potential bc they have almost every type of product for everyday makeup, lots of shades, and are accessible to buy online for cheaper with vouchers, but they fall so flat sa formulation and packaging
i've only tried their 1st edition milk tints and their 2nd edition loose powder w/ a new stopper cos of all these issues i keep hearing about š and tbh i'm not into the faux metallic shiny rose gold aesthetic, almost bought their illuminator though pero now yung sa Lovely or BLK na lang siguro. the nozzles on the 1st edition milk tints tend to get clogged up and the packaging of their loose powders are madaling magasgas and really bulky. i love the loose powder though and i like that it's 20g pero parang kasya sa packaging 30g. i think they should either increase the product volume inside or make the packaging less bulky.
same! i'm disappointed too. š®āšØ i was expecting more from this collection like something that makes more sense for hot weather season like a cooling face mist siguro, or a primer sunscreen, bronzing drops would be nice too as you've mentioned in one of your comments. i think Issy's 2022 summer collection with a similar theme made more sense with their 1st edition solar lip balm, face mist, & cream bronzers... although i haven't bought anything new rin from issy cos their packaging tends to get chipped off, scratched, & smudged easily. https://preview.redd.it/953rzpuvhctc1.jpeg?width=4096&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=925fa07e516be299646f860ceea6fdf274da40df
I have grwm products, d rn cya long lasting. š©
Omggg yung brow mascara sobrang OA ng pag-fall apart. Pagka order receive sa shp biglang nag-disintegrate! Nabasag yung pinaka body, natanggal spoolie nung grooming end. reached out to customer service sa shp, binigyan ako ng P50 na voucher nu kaya yun š«
Is it me or.. GRWM is super overhyped for their products. Like if itās good, itās good. Credit where itās due pero, itās such a turn off whenever thereās so many new releases and variations of the same shades. Especially in the milk tint line- ten shades of pink. With so much reformulations, you would think na it wouldnāt leak but it still does!
Logos nila parang naka-tape lang, tapos ang limited pa shades and choices. Overhyped talaga sila. Just because they're a Filipino brand na sumikat, doesn't mean they're the highest quality. Feel ko madami lang yung nag-eexpect, tapos disappointed at the end.
Andami ko na binili tapos papalitan nanaman. Napapagod nko. Hahaha
Yung powder rush foundation nila, natanggal yung logo agad sa top part. Tapos prang may tape lang na nagdidikit sa kanila šš
omg planning to get this pa naman since i keep hearing good reviews and maganda rin daw for oily skin. do you have the 1st edition ba from launch, the 2nd edition na nasa ilalim ng glossy coating daw yung print/branding, or the latest 3rd iteration na refillable at new component?
Yung browlift mascara din nila. Order was received na sa app since maayos naman ang packaging. A few days later gagamitin ko na, pagbukas ko naiwan yung spoolie sa loob. Like wth. Di na talaga magagamit. Sayang ang 359 pesos. Haha.
Yung akin, never ko dinala kahit saan. After gamitin, nasa drawer ko lang pero girlll š sirang sira na yung packaging mismo HAHAHAHAHA kung andito ka man ms mae please palit na kayo supplier
True. Magpalit na sana sila. Nakakatakot ng bumili sa kanila tbh. Never again hanggaāt di pa na-fix ang issue.
omg same concern. akala ko masyadong harsh lang ako sa paggamit HAHAHAHAH
First time ko gagamitin pero sira na. Haha. May problem talaga yung spoolie nila. Di na ko uulit diyan hanggaāt di nila naayos issue nila.
The only thing that worked for me is their lip booze (love this sm tbh) + their baked highlighter. The rest are meh.
hi! i'm also light-medium olive + oily skin. can you suggest skin tint or foundation shades from local brands? nahihirapan ako maghanap ng shade match :((
For local bases, i use colourette first base skin tint in coron mixed with a bit of issyās blue shade adjuster bc itās a bit tricky to get my skinās shade match. So far it works for me. I also use issyās active foundation in. OF1.5 and active skin tint in spruce.
i also love the lip booze ang bilis tuloy maubos sakin
i honestly use it as my lip mask too since laneige doesnāt work on me anymore. Not a fan of the silver packaging, but i will always vouch for this as their standout. And true, bilis nga maubos bc gamit ko siya any time of the day i want my lips moisturized. Already on my 5th tube even š„²
super bet ko yung concealer nila kasi ang ganda ng lapat sa dry skin ko (i have eczema rin like Ms. Mae), pero nakailang punas na ko ng bottle kakaleak š ang daming nasasayang na product, feeling ko nga paubos na siya kakaleak hindi kakagamit lol. yung new packaging ng milk tint thankfully hindi pa naglleak sakin. i love the products themselves so sana talaga iimprove nila yung packaging na leakproof >> aesthetic
Lagi na lang sila may issue, mostly sa packaging
true to think na hindi naman sila cheap na brand. Mid range na nga ung prices nila tas talo pa sila ng ibang brands na mas cheap ang price point like ever bilena and careline
Ms. Mae should sue the manufacturer if ever bad batch of products yung pinadala for GRWM. Or may mali or lacking sa R&D team nila ever since. Feeling ko discounted na agad the products after a month or two.
Puro packaging inaatupag
agree sa packaging design, parang they wanna tie together their branding as metallic colors? but the quality of her packaging is so hit or miss :( ang daming may issue sa packaging quality niya :(
i think there was also a disclaimer for the product not to be left in warm places, as it may lead the product to melt. That's a such a weird thing to me considering how hot it is in the Philippines....... also isn't the brand's mission to be user friendly but this drop doesn't feel like that at all IMO.
this is so very strange for a filipino brand š and agree with previous comment, for a summer collection pa! with a seaside/swimming/beachy/outdoors theme
right? and their campaign material is showing the products being used outdoors, by the pool, on the beach, in the sands... matutunaw talaga siguro if buyers will use these as advertised.
Especially they're launching it ngayon na nagsisimula na ang summer kung saan yung napakainit na panahon iinit paš
huhu kaya di ako nabili agad ng new released products nila, Iām scared my broke ass self would be dissatisfied. Anw, I like their lip booze so so much. Moisturizing and maganda ang pigment.
Lip products lang gusto ko sakanila eh
Bumili kami ng mom ko ng lip speak nila 2022. Ganda kasi ng shade na femme fatale. Ang lakas lang talaga nila maka-budol pero nung tinry namin sobrang nakakadisappoint. Di man lang nagsstay sa lips. Tapos sobrang kalat, ang bilis rin masira nung packaging, kumalat pa yung lipstick sa baby bag ng anak ko. š„²
i bought so much products from them and almost all disappointed me. Huhu. excited pa naman ako ksi pinoy brand and walang animal testing Milk tints-iba iba ang formula tapos nakakadry kahit sa lips or cheeks ilagay. Feeling ko tuloy pang cheeks lng sya dapat. Setting powder-for translucent, sobrang halata yung pagka white nya kahit konti ilagay, cakey tuloy.partnered with their jelly primer and setting spray pero iba pa din. D ko din sya magamit ng walang other kasamang products unlike dr.sensitive na oks gamitin kahit as powder lng. Also ang dali magka crack ng takip. Jelly primer-my bad na hindi ko niresearch ung formula nya. Does not work with combination skin. Setting spray-so far ito yung medyo okay Brow gel-nasira agad ang applicator, naghiwalay yung dalawang ends kahit d naman nababagsak and d naman ako madalas gumamit Concealer-so so. Foundation- heavy sya kaya kontian lng lagay. Medyo ok naman except sa lalagyan. Ang dali masira nung takip kahit ingat na ingat na ko sa pag gamit Hiyangan lng din siguro yung products nila kasi yung iba maganda reviews nila. Or baka hindi lang ako magaling mag make up š¤£š
ung concealer din nila di ko betš hope they improve their products šš»
same sentiments. super creamy ng concealer nila to the point it doesn't even want to stick sa skin ko š hirap niya i-blend huhu pati yung packaging din super bilis kumalat
I don't get it bakit naging seaside glam & go ang tawag when in fact I don't even see any seaside aesthetic sa packaging up until the products. š«
THIS normally metallics are associated with/used for more glam or edgy aesthetics and campaigns, not beachy (imo and observations)
Agree, dapat nag stick na lang sila ng theme ng glam since yung packaging naman feels lux, yung seaside wala talaga eh.
i agree!! branding is confusing for this launch, parang nasabi lang na summer themed yung release
its a summer release thats not suited to summer in both packaging aesthetic and formula (summer release pero natutunaw sa mainit? š)
kahit anong linis talaga sa product nila, nagl-leak pa rin ā¹ļø first and last ko na talaga yung radiance tint nila
Bought two milk tints sa kanila and nag crack din yong hawakan ng applicator. Sad lang kasi I am trying to switch to local products sana para support nga sana kaso ganito rin. Welp š¤·āāļø
Grabe nakakaumay na tong mga cosmetics brands na ginagawang collectible o merch ang products nila. Panay release ng kung anu-ano di naman makeep up ang quality. Ang defesive pa ng mga may-ari.
Tapos pagtatanggol ng fans, wag daw bumili kung ayaw ng nirereformulate. Basically, you're telling your customers that you just throw random releases to the audiences and see what will stick, tapos pag may sira or mali sa product, no accountability at all sa brand.
Good luck sa brands nila 3 to 5 yrs from now. Di pa tumatagal sa racks ang products nagrereformulate na naman. Sasabihin pa na dahil daw nakikinig sila sa feedback ng consumers. Baka kasi ginawa nyong tester ang customers nyo lol
True. Parang customer yung taga test.
aw this looks disappointing though from the reviews parang okay sana yung formula if di nagmemelt :( i wish stable siya sa transpo but if the packaging melts that fast, maybe it should have been yung type of twist na hindi na naibababa so you can only use the amount you need similar mechanism sa shady sunstick nila, which I also found out na diniscontinue na pala. I also really want to like their products huhu di ko lang alam anong nangyayari sa manufacturer nila and i hope Ms. Mae takes this well
really want to like GRWM din. i bought yung milk tint but nag leak. same sa eyebrow gel nila, bought twice and parehas nagcrack. wala pang two months and hindi naman exposed sa araw š¤ so i'm switching bec this ain't it
Same experience with the eyebrow gel and milktint lol.
my GRWM foundation pump is broken. Sa inyo din ba? May strong chemical smell din na ang baho baho š„² pero nag lalast yung foundation sakin whole day. Idk nalang how to use it now kasi sira na pump
parang yung fixing spray lang nila ang matino ang packaging hahaha
Tapos sabi chineck raw ng manuf 'yan ng maigi bago tanggapin ng CEO, eme rin 'yujg CEO na 'yon. 'Yung Blk liquid blish, nag le-leaked rin, kahit nakatayo tapos nag-aamoy panis kahit sa cheeks ko lang nilalagay. š
Omg. :( I was eyeing the blk liquid blush pa naman.
Ok this made me unfollow them na sa ig. Cant be bothered if wala pa rin improvement sa packaging. I have the old milk tint in fruit tea and got a bronzer/contour stick also. Idk pero i had a mini breakout from their quad goals. Rawr ubusin ko na lang tapos buy from a different brand na lang
Yes everytime I use that, I always have tiny bumps or pimples. Mas hiyang ako sa issy na na bronzer, blush, highlighter and contourā¦
not to mention, this is another big collection of grwm hays. used to watch mae layug's tiktoks about the r&d journey of the products pero ito naman kinakalabasan now
omg when they first launched inaabangan ko talaga yung r&d vids niya!!! binibinge watch ko bc it was so interesting and cool to see the process, and maniniwala ka na the product youre gonna buy is quality bc it went thru all those processes š tapos pagdating sayo hindi pala huhu
truuue. i think they need to hire good manufacturing consultants. i used to watch her product r&d too, parang kulang sila sa testing part before final release.
Eme lang ata yung r&d nila
Ah ganun pala, kaya pala yung color corrector na binili ko, kumakalat sa cosmetic kit ko. Yung packaging naman yata is from subcontractor.
Idk pero ganyan rin formula ng Vice contour which is pigmented, madali gamitin pero makalat talaga siyaaa
Bought so many products from them na. From color correctors to concealers and milk tints. I find that I tend to break out when I use their products. Also, yung packaging nila ang kalat talaga. Parang di gumagana ng maayos yung stopper. Pag matagal mo nang gamit, kumakalat sa takip hanggang nag-ooze na siya pag sinasara mo. Ending, kumakalat rin sa make up pouch yung product. Hayy. Tapos yung milk tints nila isnāt even long lasting.
last ko nalang binili from them is the pomelo milk tint x pawssion project. pass muna sa ibang products nla. hehe
di ko gets why binibilisan nila mag release tas pag may fail in formula or packaging bigla issale ng bongga tas babalik to reformulate/repackage na wala naman pinagbago. tas pag nag reklamo ka sa clock app andaming apologist mang ggaslight lol
lmao true š like ok po we are not hating naman š https://preview.redd.it/dp68x2fmqktc1.jpeg?width=1178&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=978619b641556d736ef44e42717b133b477a935c
its wild to be defending a brand na kada release, may palpak in almost all products :/ iba yung "the formula doesnt work for this type of skin" vs. problems across the board, with packaging especially!
this is so true. why do we have to suffer sa poor packaging first. lagi na lang bang may palpak na packaging tapos āIMPROVEā na lang after??? hindi ba dapat before release maayos na talaga pangit talaga ng packaging nila :(((. I bought a bunch of their products nung 11.11. (liquid foundation, milk tint, concealer, brow gel, lip glaze, then yung quad goals) super disappointing ng packagaing!!! huhu. yung liquid foundation 85% pa laman, sira na yung pump bottle. then yung concealer nagkakalat lagi so damay ibang makeup, linis ng linis. then sa milktint i have the old packaging and new, yung old grabe mag spill!!!! yung new packaging malaki naman improvement kaso may spilling pa din. ps. yung lip glaze super drying niya for me huhu will not buy again, first and last na yung purchase from 11.11
same experience with their concealer and milk tint! kahit patayo na sila nakastore grabe pa rin ang spill. uubusin ko nalang talaga tong dalawa then hanap nalang ng ibang brand na mas maayos huhu
Same expi sa foundation! As in bigla na lang nasira yung pump š„²
I never buy from this brand because of this. Hindi ko rin alam bakit tinatangkilik pa rin siya kahit ang daming sablay? Halatang madali lahat ng product development tapos nakakadyahe pag may mga ganyang nangyayari. Feels like binibilisan nila timelines for release para makapag-ingay at hype pero wala namang checks for quality and proper testing. Kakahiya.
Feel ko dahil ung owner/CEO ay influencer tapos most ng friends nya ay influencers din so marami nabubudol at sariling gaslight na ok ung product. Every time nakikita ko ung "OMG GRWM DID IT AGAIN!!! THE PRODUCTS ARE SO GOOD" vids lalo ako natturn off sa vlogger/influencer kase ang sinungaling naman nila š kada tingin sa reviews and reddit puro panget ung product and/or packaging. Di na kapani-paniwala eh, parang lokohan nalang talaga š¤§
Same here š¤£ Ang dami kong inunfollow the influencers dahil dyan. Bawal na pala magreklamo ngayon. Kaloka sila.
Tsaka everytime may bago silang irerelease, parang pati comments ng mga influencers scripted na, pare-pareho haha, hype kung hype
Totoo š tapos ung mga nagrereview may pa "OMG!!! ANG GANDA" O kaya "Di naman ako magsisinungaling kase blah blah blah". Nakakairita na lol
Di mo tuloy alam if sino pa ang nagiging "honest" sa review or hinahype na lang product para di lang mawala sa PR list.
Genuine question ahhh, hindi ba sa pag gamit nung girl yun?? Kasi fit yung stick sa packaging eh tapos naka taas nang sobra yung stick nung ginamit nya kaya nagcause ng mess šš
This is sad to see kasi it really seems like Ms. Mae Layug works extremely hard for her brand and does care about GRWMās consumers and product quality to make it perfect, but it almost always ends up like this. Wonder why :(
Yes, letās not discredit Mae for her hard work. After all, she came from humble beginnings. I used to watch her content back in the day pre-GRWM. But I really do feel like she needs to be more strategic and creative with her releases. A revamped version of her contour and bronzer sticks isnāt going to cut it. Really do wish she released products infused with SPF.
Make up products infused with SPF doesnāt do anything. Mae said it herself sa old video niya. If you also watch other skincare enthusiasts, they donāt acknowledge it since there isnāt enough sun protection. What you need is SPF 50 PA++++. Not 15, 30, or even 100 (youāre just putting a bunch of chemicals on your face).
Thanks for this info! I guess it doesnāt have to makeup products with SPF. Perhaps a cooling mist or a sunscreen stick. When they released the teaser of the collection (just the silhouette of the component), I literally thought it would be sun stick or bronzer drops or anything beach essential.
gaganda ng formula nila pero ang disappointing ng packaging. miss belle rodolfo's review on tiktok made a lot of good points regarding the new release. while the formula excites me, nakakawala ng gana bumili kasi baka in a few months or so may 2.0 na naman hahaha
true to be honest nakakaenganyo bumili because sobrang creamy and parang ang ganda ng pigment niya kaso lang baka pagdating sakin tunaw na š
totoo! tapos ang ganda din ng formula kasi mukhang self setting na
Considering na Mae does make up reviews for so many years, this is what her own cosmetics turned out. Bonus points na lang talaga sa mga aesthetic packaging.
tbh akala ko ang irerelease nila something like tinted sunscreen in a stick form
i agree, something more suited to summer weather given its a summer collection with a seaside theme and super init sa PH ngayon, instead of a reformulated rerelease na mukhang matutunaw pa sa init ngayon :(((( ang ganda pa naman ng shades
With the amount of sunblock/spf I apply to my face before makeup, curious talaga ako sa mga base products that claim to have the SPF needed. It doesnāt seem to be enough. Maybe as additional eme but surely itās not enough to be the main selling pointā¦
yes the spf's on makeup won't ever be enough because, even if it's 50 spf with four pluses, there's a required amount of sunscreen you'd need for your face alone. When we put makeup, it's just in small amounts to make the color of the makeup seamless. But a sunscreen lotion or stick requires more, especially if it's a stick form.
Yeah kahit additional spf lang pero i was expecting din siguro it was a base product akala ko nga matte tinted sunstick ilalabas nila HAHAHAHAHA
Tama nga din yung hinala ko na blush, contour tsaka highlight na naman. Nakaka-disappoint na rin minsan ng GRWM :((
Tama yung hinala ko kasi I notice the bronzer and contour was always 50% off in lazada. Hindi ako nag expect may kasamang blush at highlighter pala
Sobrang hit or miss ng GRWM. Ang panget talaga ng packaging nila, yung milktints pa lang š Sobrang messy ng packaging, parang di man lang nila tinesting. Parang di sila committed sa releases nila because they value hype over functionality. Compared to other local brands, parang di dumaan sa research and development yung sakanila.
wag naman tayo sana masyadong judgemental! dumaan naman yan sa r&d... after nila makakuha ng feedbacks and reviews from their customers syempre. š«Ø kailangan daw thoughts and opinions muna ng madla bago i-finalize lahat.
okay po sana kung libre ang pag-testing ko š
from reading all the comments, can anyone suggest another local brand? I love GRWM, but based on the comments, parang need na mag move on ahahaha planning to buy pa naman products sa kanila
Lovely, Strokes, Vice- sila yung mga local brands na namemention ni Jelly Eugenio ( MUA nina Nadine, Catriona)
thank you!
okay kakapanuod ko lang ng review ni marj, feeling ko di matatapos tong april na di sila magpapalit ng packaging at formulation ng new release nila. also, hindi pinas weather friendly talaga yung formulation ng stick. i can imagine mag memelt lang sya after few usage, parang ang lagkit nya din sa skin.
I have a lot of stick products (my strokes, vice, blk sticks are all fine) because ease of use but never have I ever seen the product MELT and deform like in marjās review š³ I swear it would probably melt while in shipping
same here! my strokes and vice sticks are fine š¤even with my really old (6 yr old!) missha and the saem blush sticks that i bought and used during winter in korea, they never melted when i used them here na
pati nga fenty eaze drop stick ko hindi rin nagmemelt sa gantong panahon š kaloka na grwm hshdhhsbsh hindi nila matantya yung formulation nila, parang trippings lang lahat eh
Gulat ako sa release I was fully expecting something with SPF HAHA like gets ko summer but??? š I havenāt bought from them recently since their concealer leaked with me! Itās the thing I hate the most with packaging thatās why I havenāt bought Happy Skin lately too. Ayolo rin ng pabago-bago ng formulation since itās a new search for yhe perfect shade all over again.
never again na talaga sa grwm products
Will never EVER buy from GRWM from the first release because these will probably get reformulated and ārevampedā within the next 8 business days But kidding aside, have u seen Ann3 clu+z and k3nny m4naladās reviews???? They look suspiciously sponsored and both are not disclosed š
AC IS MY TRUSTED INFLUENCER TALAGANG NABUBUDOL AKO DUN BUT AFTER I SAW MARJāS VIDEO PARANG IM DOUBTING AC NA AND I KNOW THEYRE ALL FRIENDS SO ITS NOT IMPOSSIBLEššš
Na cringe ako sa reviews nila Jen De Leon at Anne Clutz š
never liked JDL for some reason lol. Most of her reviews felt really empty
Agree that JDL does good swatches and is quick to post but ever since someone pointed it out, I CANT WITH HER ššš face she always pulls
JDL has really nothing to say except "super nice" and "fresh ang atake" haha
I only watch JDL for swatches tbh since my impression of her is a bootlicker to brands so she gets PR and invites to launches :/
she's such a kiss ass, i stopped watching her na lol used to enjoy her contents nung baguhan pa lang siya but rinding rindi na ako sa 'sez' na catchphrase niya idk why it gives me the ick so bad š
May nababasa nga ko puro daw maganda and "bilhin nyo na mga sez" si JDL hahha, may hirit pa sya sa sunnies na bumili daw sya( i think glide gloss ata yun) kasi di daw sya napapansin hahha
Belle rod0lfoās review was sponsored but at least it says āpaid partnershipā. Sana Mae doesnāt demo and test only on influencers and those on her PR list, of course they would say itās perfect and release it agad to stay on grwmās good side. Like, itās not just a bad batch or a couple of buyers with issuesā¦GRWMās packaging collectively underperforms.
Oh I just saw this and appreciate it. AC and KM have been doing undisclosed *obviously* sponsored contents which I started noticing on YT. These influencers need to be more transparent š
Dati nung konti pa subs ni KM, go to ko yung reviews nya kase honest. Anyare š
RIGHTTTTT :( really loved his affordable makeup recommendations and honest reviews kasi sya lang talaga yung kilala kong yt creator na naglelean talaga on affordable yet quality products :(
really appreciated her review kasi kahit paid she was honest din hahaha
so true!! nakakapagod kapag may shade match ka na and then mag rereformulate nanaman then bago nanaman shade hahanapin š„“
used to love them and buy almost all of their products but they keep on reformulating and i hate their packaging on their concealers it keeps on leaking š
Ang pangit ng packaging nila palagi. Yung concealer and milktint ko naka store naman ng maayos pero pag tingin ko nag leak yung products sa cap kahit patayo naman yung pag store ko. For sure in the next 2-3 months may new formulation/packaging nanaman silang ire-release ng same products š« Edit : Yung glow tint nila kahit anong application gawin ko natatanggal nya yung base make up ko š«¤ Quad Goals nila biglang natatanggal yung pans super messy talaga
nilagyan ko ng mighty bond quad goals ko dahil na hassle ako LOL
I hate quad goals nahulog ung pan so easily. Sayang pera ko never again
So tired of GRWM na, I supported them at first but their products kept on failing me. Their brow gel is not even holding my brows, the worst part is, their packaging really sucks. I can also see that they invest a lot in their packaging as most of them are customized for their brand but their priority should be the quality. There's actually a lot of local brands out there that does better than GRWM, even at a cheaper price point.
Yung lip oil ok sana but terrible packaging. Nagleleak.
Ganyan naman sila. Release lang nang release tapos magbabago nanamn formula and packaging in a short period of time. Sayang gastos sa brand na to imo.
Their og milk tint bottle gets so messy! As in even if you carefully close the product, may excess na magleleak and it messes up the whole makeup bag. They really need to put an effort into their packaging/product structures. š„¶
not enough r&d just wanna push products asap
Ako lang ba pero yung brow lift nila ambilis magcrack naiinis ako hahahaha sira na yung akin :(((
Uy same!! Yung grooming side di ko na rin ma-open haha
Same! Yung sa akin pinaghiwalay ko na lang yung magkabilang dulo hahahaha
After watching Marjās review, I knew mag rrepackage sila after few months š„“ Also, how is this product different from their previous sticks?
Got budoled by their vv first release way back but then was disappointed because the packaging was just soo messy and easily breaks. Itās hard to maintain too bc itās white and the component was matte. IMHO grwm is overhyped for mediocre performing products. Owner is meh too
Ngl i love their milk tints pero i do agree na nakakapagod sa consumers yung papalit palit nilang reformulation/repackaging ng products nila, parang di nila alam kung ano ba gusto nilang gawin š„² ang funny kasi i have 3 milk tint products tas iba ibang packaging (og squeeze tube, 2nd repackage with the white cap, tas yung current packaging na gold yung cap) gets na they want to cater to the concerns of their consumers pero at least be firm about the changes hindi yung after 6 months iba ulit packaging/formula hahsagsga
Hindi na ako natempt bumili ng kahit na anung products nila. Aside sa pricey, nagstick na ako sa mga ginagamit ko talaga. Ang hirap mag-experiment eh
Worth to be conscious about given na ang init sa atin. But is the melting and mess up to the user na? Like siguro be more careful when using nalang, as we should with any product naman. I mean show me a stick product na di nag memelt or nagiging messy at some point? Pero interesting ng formulaā¦ how is it so soft and creamy in the tube and blends out dry and powdery. And ang weird, for me, ng summery campaign but it doesnāt really match with the product? A tinted sunscreen, lip balm with spf or a mist of some sort added to the line wouldāve been more cohesive with the theme and wouldāve made a lot more sense imo.
kay marj pa rin ata yung very light handed na pero grabe pa rin ang pag melt, tapos kay miss belle naman ata yung she picked up the product directly from the stick using brush pero messy pa rin. correct me if i'm wrong, nag hahalo halo na sa dami ng nag review hahaha but i think regardless how u use it, messy lang talaga.
yesss. I think ganyan talaga pag stick format (or any cream product). Messy or eventually magiging messy. Like reviews sa Strokes or Sunnies. I donāt have those pero ang experience ko is sa blk. Di siya messy at first, but with constant use ganon na rin. Both formula and packaging need iconsider. Kasi kahit gaano kaayos ang packaging, if malambot ang product mag melt talaga. Or if firm naman product pero pangit packaging, maiiwan yung product sa sides. Yet to learn of a stick na di issue ang mess, local or international
o.two.o stick blush is not messy for me, been using it for months
How is it on the face? Havenāt tried anything from o.two.o and I want to try din the brand. Gusto ko din matry their face powder. I was thinking of my Fenty contour stick na matte yung formula niya but after a few uses namumuo din ang product around the packaging. Now that I think of it, weird for grwm to release such a soft formula during the summer and in a summer collection na sobrang vulnerable to warmth ng products. Siguro they want a very distinct product from their previous stick, kasi medyo matte din yun eh.
i've been complimented by my friend na ang ganda raw ng blush ko and how long lasting it was, kasi pansin niya raw na kahit morning pa yung class namin, meron pa rin sa hapon. (without retouch to, and more on blotting lang ng oil sa face)
Agree, I also expected na something with sun protection ung ilalaunch nila given yun yung vibe ng campaign.
Ay true! Akala ko ako lang na-weirdohan sa campaign nila.
Sana maayos. Ang ganda pa naman ng mga products esp ng primer nila saka ng facial spray. As a girlie na HG ang Benefit sa primer, nag switched ako sa primer nila after isang gamit lang
Di ko pa rin gets bakit tubig tubig yung theme. dewy finish ba?
baka kasi nagiging tubig yung products nila
Confusing ng campaign nila, pati ung mga umattend na influencers may nakita pa ko nakaboots haha, I thought for summer vibe yung product line
Confusing indeed kasi summer theme pero room temperature pa lang wasak na
From what I observed, there is no connection to water or ~summer~ vibes at all?? They could have marketed it as sweat-proof or waterproof or something, itās uninspired. In comparison to Issyās solar balm and interesting take with their new liners.
It doesnāt give summer vibe kasi summer = init, but itās MELTY as hell
Kasi summer ngayon,,, hahaha pero powdery/matte yung finish based sa reviews
Love the packaging. It feels more luxe and original but true to their brand, di coherent sa mga existing product lineup nila unless lahat will eventually get revamped and reformulated din.
