What PR Means on AURA

What PR Means on AURA

A gifted product can earn my attention. It cannot buy my opinion.


PR is one of the genuinely fun parts of being a beauty creator. A box arrives, something is brand new, and for a minute I get to be the person opening the thing everyone is about to talk about. I still love that.

But AURA is not going to turn the PR shelf into an automatic recommendation shelf. Receiving something for free means I had access to it. It does not mean I loved it, finished it, would repurchase it or think you should spend your money on it.

When a product is gifted, that relationship will be disclosed. When something is sponsored, that will be disclosed too. And when I have not used something long enough to call it a review, I would rather call it a first impression than manufacture certainty.

The fun stays. So does the honesty. That is the deal.
