Ive seen snaps of the people at these " fashion factories " and its actual grown ups that are going, I though it would be all tweens!

Women in their 30s-40s. I saw my old Irish teacher there in one of her snaps! gas

Pippa and MArissa have very much an older following. I think that's why they are less inclined to talk about ads. If my mum (mid 50s) was interested in those factories and watching their snaps, she'd be far more inclined to just believe without question the "recommendations" and take them at face value.

Added her there to see the coat and see her plugging the Trend Beauty website which stocks LA Girl, saying they are the only place that you can get it in Ireland. This is nonsense as I have bought LA Girl from Beauty Bay very recently, so not sure you can take what she says at face value either.

What I don't get is why do people still follow this stuff. Forget about being an ad, it's complete oversaturation of stuff in any case and just encouraging mindless consumption. Is owning 15 palletes, loads of tat from Penny's and some dog food from Lidl new life ambition? You don't need to buy tickets for road show to be a sucker. It's enough to run to the shop the moment new tanning products, jeans or contouring pallete is announced.

Some people are interested in seeing new products. Especially new formulas etc. as it can lead you to something that will work for your skin that you may not be aware of. If a blogger does a review and describes the product in a bit of detail, that can be helpful.

Not everyone runs out to buy every item being flogged.

And that can be learned from watching bloggers snapping about tvs, carpets, Lidl and gym sessions. Btw talking to a pharmacist that knows their stuff might be more beneficial to learn what works with one's skin.

Well you can't screen for that content when you follow a beauty Snapchatter, that's the nature of the app.

Btw you don't need to speak to a pharmacist about a new foundation or such, what advice can they give about it's finish, longevity, comfort on the skin?

You don't seem to follow any of these bloggers judging from your posts so why follow a thread such as this? Hardly seems relevant to someone who doesn't follow any.

I think the majority of major irish "bloggers" are no longer bloggers. The constant promotion of brands and products is ridiculous and I actually now agree with the term "influencers" as it seems this is what most of them spend the day doing, pushing products and companies on to followers. The are advertisers more then anything. The lack of actual content or uniqueness is a joke. I like to follow people who share views and opinions and also genuine reviews of products or places. I have no interest in watching 30mins of snaps of a baby laughing or someone sweating on a thread mill especially if the person is not a pt or has any fitness or health background and therefore can't offer any information or advice. If any has any recommendations of bloggers similar to lauras views or the orlacle let me know 😀

I like Rosemary Maccabe, she's very similar to Laura's views.
I also like buynowbloglater but she seems to have taken a break from snapchat. I love her blog though.

Just seen this on pippa app re river islands new spring/summer releases.

Basically she gets commission from any sales used via the link on her page ooohhh I'm presuming they are all the same hence why bloggers are so forthcoming with links


Ps.... miss skinny tea is a diuretic so says my personal trainer

Most bloggers do this. It's why if they're asked on snapchat where a certain outfit is from they'll say 'details on Instagram now' because then they use an affiliate link so they earn money from it. (Side note: people calling it 'the gram' need to stop. Now.)

Rosemary (I mention her so much, I must sound like a proper fan girl ) mentions it loads on her blog and lets people know she uses affiliate links. Lots of other bloggers aren't as forthcoming though.

Of course it's diuretic. There is no magic tea that will make you slim. At best they will have caffeine which has minimal effect and all the weight loss will come from diet that is recommended with the tea. They are one of the oldest dieting scams.

And they are perfect product to push through by bloggers. If you don't #ad it, it's just the deluded blogger making dieting claims. Similarly Rosana Davidson is peddling a whole pile of unproven nonsense but as long as it's her opinion and not advertising she doesn't need to prove her claims. I think rules around health claims in advertising become a lot stricter (Actimel had to abandon their immunity boosting claims) so I would imagine small time influencers are perfect vehicle to push through different 'magic' foods or drinks.

Right, don't know if any of you have heard of the blogger/youtuber Clisare (I don't follow her but as far as I know, she started the Fact's channel as well on YT) ANYWAY. I am getting married next year and I am a part of a few wedding groups on facebook and I seen this pop up and I just cringed.

Basically asking if there are companies interested in working with her for her wedding.


EDIT: Tried to attach the image but won't work

I don't know why she has a following. She's not funny and asking for companies to work with her for her wedding is pathetic.

Same, I find her 'comedy' cringe

Is Maeve not a " great friend" of fairy blogger?

Snapchat is to be avoided tonight unless endless snaps by everyone of the same Benefit event interests you.

:rolleyes: "I always buy this myself"

well done.....

So make up fairy can buy the cheapest product herself and then show 3 image cleaners which are like 40 euro each and a clarasonnic. What normal person can afford 3 different image cleansers.... Myself and my pals are lucky if we can afford the cleanser and moisturiser.
