Also if you Google the Mac equivalent to it there is a full comparison of shades against each Mac shade. I am nc25 in Mac and it recommended shade 2.0yg or 2.0n and they both look like a good match!

I started using The Ordinary Foundation as my day makeup and love it. It's so cheap. I still prefer to use DW for going out at night because I like more coverage.

I like the foundation on Suzanne but it wouldn't be something I'd wear myself. It's a bit too full on for me. I also find it a bit weird that she was able to create a foundation from scratch in less than 2 months.

Thread closed for review.

I'm afraid this thread is closing right now for review. It may or may not re-open in the future depending on what I find.

The tone of some of the posts I see right now is disappointing but not surprising after the way some previous threads have gone elsewhere. I hope the majority of the thread does not follow suit but time will tell.

Please don't start a new thread on this same topic. To those of you who have been genuinely using the thread to discuss bloggers products, sorry that this has to be done.

Thanks all.

Ok folks, apologies it has taken me this long to get through everything, here's an update:

Discussing personal appearance is not permitted as per the charter.

Referring to someone as "a liar", a "fraud", "robbing your granny" or anything similar could be construed as defamatory and could get us, and you, in a lot of trouble legally. Just don't do it.

In my last post I referred to a disappointing tone in some posts and I will clarify that now - any posts that enter into the above (abuse of someones character or appearance, potential defamation) is disappointing to me for the simple reason that you know it's not permitted. Posts like those are one of the reasons that these discussions have been moved from one forum to another until eventually we opened this forum specifically for these discussions. Many of you contributed to forming and agreeing to the charter to ensure this didn't continue. Let's not ruin the forum by crossing the above lines, there are some genuine discussions going on which is great to see and we'd like to keep that going without having to review things in the way I've had to do with this thread.

I have removed a lot of posts, mostly from a couple of weeks ago but a few more recent ones too. Many of the posts fell into the categories above (abuse, possible defamation) and a small number referred to, or were written on the basis of, some published articles - I was informed that these articles have recently been removed from their online publications due to inaccuracies so any posts referring to their content have now also been removed.

Finally, please be mindful of how you post and always assume that a lot more people than those replying to the thread are reading it.

I'm re-opening the thread now but if you could thank this post to let me know you have read it, I'd appreciate it. If you have any questions about anything I've said here, please ask by PM so as not to take the thread off-topic.

Thanks

I was buying a jacket last week and admired the nails of the girl who was serving me, thinking they were nail art.

They were the sosue nails, I thought they looked quite well on and the girl who had them was very pleased with them said she had them on for two weeks

Yeah I edited above, I always mix the two of them up

When is Pippa releasing her new product?!

I am still baffled that Rosie Connolly hasn't spoken more about her brushes, are you?

Like, she has shown them, I know and gone through what each is for, but she isn't plugging them or talking about them much.

I wonder if any of them will release Christmas themed products?

I heard rumours of Joanne and Paul bringing out a fitness calendar, not sure if there's any truth in it though.

Hahahahahaha.
Hahahahaha.
Ha.

I can't see that being a good idea, didn't they have to cancel that event they were going to do together due to a lack of interest?

I'm still dying to know what sinead is releasing. She's defo been reading this because she said on snap that she's been "reading stuff" and then she said something like "lads, I'm a beauty blogger, it's not a baby product!" Yay :pac:

I can't really see that TBH - it would have a very limited shelf life and would be costly to do.

I keep thinking this whole blogger thing is going to die off soon! It's absolutely amazing how well they've all been doing for themselves, but I keep thinking it's a phase and it's surely got to plateau soon but no sign of it! I know a lot of them have other jobs but for those who don't, what on earth will they do if the whole blogger culture dies?

Did that event really get cancelled due to lack of interest? I didn’t know what had happened but it was never mentioned again so I wondered what had happened.

I think mediocre bloggers will just disappear and the ones that will remain will be very successful. I think a lot of people are getting fed up of all the ads, "favourite" products and the complete falseness of their lifestyle.

I've unfollowed so many over the last little while. You'd get sick of listening to them flogging anything for a quick buck mentioned today and never again and never having a negative opinion about products. When I see so many of them getting gifted things like love lift and chupi jewellery, it just puts me off buying those goods

Horrified to see this. But at least the page has raised so much awareness.

Cease and Desists must be in fashion

How would they get the posters real name to issue a cease and desist?

Sure SoSue sent a cease and desist to a chicken fillet roll parody page today.

Free speech isn't so free these days. Only ok when your showering someone with praise and support, not when your calling them out on potentially shady behaviour.
Regardless I will never support that blogger or that particular brand after what has come to light.
She owes her customer base an apology rather than sending cease and desist letters out left right and centre.

wendydoll

Heaven forbid COD would be accountable for her "brand".

She's only sickened she got outed for <snip>. Hope Taylor and Rose cease trading soon.

idunno78

Hope your ok 'person who posted' if your reading this! Silly of them to send that I'm sure they don't have a leg to stand on! More fool them! Fair play to you for posting what happened now and previous! Open some people's eyes at least!!

It's actually shameful. I would be mortified if I was in her position, her brand will never be taken seriously again. I can't believe she has the neck to be sending out letters like that after what she did.

She's not sorry she did it, she's sorry she was caught. She'd still be flogging <snip> for full whack if she hadn't been exposed.

Wow what a joke 🙄

I can't wait to see what her next move is now that she's done a little clean up on the internet to get rid of all the evidence. I assume she asked boards to remove all the stuff that was removed earlier from this thread.

Can't believe the whole thing will end up blowing over really thought at least someone from the media would have the b**ls to run with it.

Was the conversation on Boards about it removed too?!?!??!

Maybe this is a question for the legal discussion forum - but what right does she have to send a cease and dissist?

How do they work? They seem to be used to intimate people but do they have a good leg to stand on "lawfully"?
