Beauty bloggers on snapchat

Some of them I love watching Karen lovelygirliebits is so normal and funny rosemary james Patrice
I wish the others who are plugging everything would go back to the way they used to be before they started to sell themselves out for free stuff and payment don't flash it on snapchat for some young girl to run out and buy use it for a while write a constructive review about the pros and cons if your a beauty blogger don't advertise take away food places because they sent you a voucher for €200 stay true to who you were a beauty blogger who gives honest reviews

And in fairness, the people giving out about them plugging different products??? They're beauty bloggers, it's what they do?!?!?

I feel if they're being paid or the product is sponsored they should have to say that.

I said nothing bad about you Sharon if you're reading this so if you're taking offence to someone saying nothing bad about you then you do need thicker skin.

No more posts like the above please. (And it's not the first one, I'm just picking it as an example.) If you want to discuss something directly with the blogger, choose another site to do so on. It's ridiculous to have someone saying something on Snapchat and to have people responding here and it's not what this forum is for. And no more 'I can't believe she said this about what someone said on Boards.' It's just the above said in a different way.

This thread is starting to get a bit bitchy, like all other blogger threads. If it continues to go the way that all other blogger threads have gone it will be closed.

The thread is about beauty bloggers. Your time would be better spent recommending good ones rather than posting negative things, but that's just my personal opinion.

We get some bloggers into where I work and to be honest, the constant stopping during procedures to update their snapchat is so frustrating, then when I watch it back, having been there while the snap is being taken, as nice as the person is, they come across as being very insincere.

I love Sinead from the beautiful truth. LOVE her. Everyone needs Sinead on their snapchat. I don't get this recent influx of beauty bloggers. It's not that hard to get a following on social media. How many likes does that Doug the pug Facebook page have? I think sometimes some of the bloggers (I don't follow enough of them to know which ones in particular) like to think of themselves as somewhat of a celeb. "Okay you guys, I might make my snapchat public later so as I can talk to you". "Okay you guys, this is my skinny soy latte that I'm drinking from a white cup because white looks so good on Instagram". I actually had a lady who told me she asked for white balloons from her friend for her birthday so as she could take pics for Instagram. I see people constantly in restaurants who start taking pics of their food/hot chocolate as soon as it comes out. I mean really, who cares??

If I follow a blogger it's because they're fashion, or beauty and that's what I'm into. I don't give a rats ass if they're staying at a fancy hotel plugging the bejaysus out of it, I don't want to see it. Or if they're off horse riding, or sledging down the side of a hill, or whatever else it is that makes them "quirky" or "different". Show me the lipstick, show me the cut crease, find a new foundation? Fantastic let's hear about it.

That I'll make my posts public later like their a celeb is silly or getting annoyed because people who follow you send you there stories like I know it must be annoying but they probably are sending them because they feel like they know them and are most likely young girls
I love sinead from the beautiful truth she's so honest while everyone was raving about how amazing the pippa palette they got free was she gave an honest review of it talking through each item in it on snapchat

The hippenings business has put me off so I think I'm bowing out. Even if they don't realise they're plugging it like viral marketers it's been uncomfortably over the top to watch. It has over 3000 likes on facebook and comments like "I cant wait!I keep refreshing the page!" which has to be in large part due to it's enormous exposure on snapchat. None of us would ever have heard of a site that sold diaries from asos and 30 euro water bottles and expensive phonecases it if we didn't watch Snapchat. Yet there's not an honest word along the lines of "it's pretty overpriced", instead "I want EVERYTHING on the site, its amazing, I'm so excited!!!".
It just feels like an "I'll scratch your back and later you can scratch mine when I need a serious plug". Yes it's nice to see camaraderie between friends, but it is manipulating those who more innocent. If I was 14/15 and seeing countless ollder girls/women telling me they HAD to have this and it's the most beautiful thing they've ever seen I might believe it, and ladies ye are relying on exactly this happening because I've never seen any of ye raving about your love of mad overpriced bottles before, ye have an end in mind here.

Just discovered snapchat a week ago and am obsessed with Ellen from waxperts and Rosemary Macabe. James Patrice makes me laugh out loud! I wish there was a way of 'searching' snapchat for a user...if you know what I mean? There are a few blogs that I LOVE and would love to know how to see if they are on snapchat. Fave blogs at the mo are the beautiful truth, a simple style and whatshewears

All worth a little follow :-)

I love snapchat, I have unfollowed a few bloggers though as they got on my nerves because their snaps were (presumably still are) all the same, I've no real interest in their partners, Q&As, etc. I follow for the beauty bits and pieces but the constant "look what I got" etc snaps are starting to really grate on me.

I love MakeUpByAn, LaurasViews, XoShaan, NikkieTutorials, Zabby.Babe, Emilynoel83, and AmeliaLiana.

I've unfollowed Rosie Connolley, Chloe Boucher, and another girl called Anoushka something or other, I honestly found them boring and just all the same thing day in day out.

I do follow FacesByGrace but the amount of sponsored snaps, "look what I got", etc are starting to grate on me and I find myself sighing when I see her story is at 500 seconds by 11am. Another thing that she did recently was shout at her cat to get upstairs because the cat couldn't decide whether to go outside or not. I'm not sure why but it really annoyed me for some reason.

I follow Rosemary Maccabe too but after seeing her posts here and her snipes on snapchat about this thread I have kind gone off her a bit.

I mean, no one likes to hear, read or see non-positive things written about them but unfortunately when you put yourself in the public eye that's just something that you really have to accept is going to happen, and if you are in any way sensitive reading threads like this really won't do much for the sensitivity.

I mean no one should ever have to accept or put up with nastiness, bitchiness, etc. no one, but at the same time, if you are going to put yourself out there publicly you do need to accept that people are going to criticise you, your personalty, your taste, etc. its unfortunate but its how it is.

While you may not like that persons criticism or opinion or whatever, you do need to accept that being criticised, good or bad, is a part of putting yourself in the public eye, nastiness, bitchiness, etc is something that while not acceptable or nice, is just another thing that those in the public eye have to deal with unfortunately and in this day and age, you really do need a thick skin when putting yourself out there, you really do.
