The Only Instagram Account To Follow For Honest Beauty Product Reviews
You probably already follow a thousand and one beauty accounts on Insta, but chances are most of their posts are infact a #ad and not exactly the most unbiased review ever.
Which is fine if you’re more into the cute pics they take, but if it’s an honest look at the latest products that all promise to make your hair shinier, skin clearer and pores smaller then you’re going to want the truth.
After all, life’s just too short for our Insta feed to be cluttered with ads.
So allow us to introduce you to Gelcream, anInsta account that not only reminds you to drink water (which is v important) but also providesthe kind of reviews we actually trust.
Run by Yana Sheptovetskaya, a former stylist and Fashion Editor at Russian Vogue, the aim is to ‘share the emotion every product creates with readers’ through a cute pic with her signature hand pose and a brief description.
And before you think that you don’t need any more beauty reviews in your life, this is where Gelcream is different. Yana told Fashionista: “I don't focus on skin conditions and hard-core beauty routines. It is more meditative, minimal content.”
But her no holds barred reviews haven’t come without backlash, as her recent thoughts on Kim Kardashian’s new perfume didn’t go down wellwith Ouai creator Jen Atkin.
After giving KKW’s Body scent 0/5 for the brand and 3/5 for the perfume, Jen came for her with quite the scathing Insta comment, which included: “You are a miserable human being stop being so negative and start supporting women who have helped make it possible for you to make a living on Instagram. You should be thanking Kim Kardashian.”
But with 77.4k followers and counting, her loyal army of followers are here for exactly that kind of ranking, even if Jen Atkin isn’t.
