    Yes, you'd have thought that Jervis would have preferred her to actually show inside the stores and highlight some key pieces...maybe they didn't pay enough for that *eye roll*
    She's even getting lazy with her paid stuff

    She also barely showed the outfit she got from CarrigDonn for the birthday. A quick run through in her bathroom mirror where you couldnt even see it well or the whole dress, and then a couple of snaps and a picture on instagram. Why any company continues to give her time and money is beyond me.

    Compared to how the beautiful truth showcases her stuff from carraig donn. Talks about the fit, and always shows the dresses off and talks through what she got. Have to say I'd never go into carraig donn and to be fair, TBT did a much better job of showcasing their stuff.

    Well she must be reading as the empty wallet snap is gone

    It's still there, theres just new snaps between that obviously didn't upload while she was in Jervis. Good shops, but crappy wifi so it seems :D

    I don't see any new snaps? Just the 2 shop fronts and the one for some competition! Oh and the empty wallet!!

    There's a 21 years open snap and win everything in the box snap that appeared afterwards in my snaps, and now they are both before the wallet one .

    Ya that's the ones I was saying were the competition ones! I thought you meant there was more showing stuff from inside the shops!!

    Why do companies still collaborate with her? They get a rubbish service for whatever they've paid.
    I lost any belief in her content when the C&G stuff happened, then the disaster of the parenting group, where she never offered anyone support, just looked for followers then said she was being bullied on Facebook by groups and refused to state which groups she was accusing of bullying in a Sunday newspaper.
    I'm like Lexie, if I notice she's associated with a brand, I'll buy an alternative, sadly I did move my business from the bib company after seeing the haul they sent her for nothing, same with Name it, at least her pic is on the front of the shop, easy to see.

    Just saw post on the Galz page about the Penneys Skin School that a few bloggers were snapping about today. People not impressed that skin nerd is suddenly promoting a cheap skin care range when up to now it's always been cosmeceuticals are best. People saying that because it's #ad that suddenly she's promoting them.

    Have to say I bought a cleanse off mitt a while back and it was absolutely terrible can't understand how people can use it just with water I use it as a glorified face cloth now with product.

    And I jumped on the image bandwagon because she promoted it so much and lots of people seemed to be using it (I do like all the image products I use thought and have rebought most)

    )

    It's meant to be used as part of double cleansing, you'd use it with water to take off your make up and then use a cleanser on its own to clean your skin.

    Wow that's unreal from the skin nerd. How she can go from Image skin care products to Penny's is bizarre. Obviously they flashed the cash at her... Penny's stuff stings and burns like hell! These people are unbelievable when it comes to selling their soul for a big company.

    The age old saying. ‘Money talks and bulls**t walks!’


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 383 ✭✭Lindy97


    The fact she regularly talks at these blogger workshops, bloggers who work with Penneys, it was bound to happen. Its like cross contamination.
    I've used the face masks from there and they were fine for me but never used any of these new ranges they have, I dont think I'd be getting my entire skin care range from there, I'm 37 and have to look after my skin

    Oh god the whole breastfeeding saga. It got her so much publicity though so she was delighted with herself.
    It was all her own doing too, I was at home with a newborn and saw the whole thing unfold and couldn't believe what I was seeing. Its when I really went off her. I have no time for people who take no responsibility. You mess up, own it, don't blame everyone else.

    That's what I mean all the videos etc showing how to use it with just water when I tried that it was not happening my face would have been red raw from all the rubbing and pulling on my skin I'd have to do to get the makeup off. I always use a hot cloth with my balm / oil cleanser so have just added the mitt to my pile of cloths really didn't think it was good at all maybe if people have really hardy skin it's fine


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 23,646 ✭✭✭✭qo2cj1dsne8y4k


    Disgusted to see her collab with pennies. Complete sell out.
    That said, I use a microfibre cloth (not hers, just a regular one) to do my initial pre cleanse. I'd have sensitive skin prone to redness and my skin is absolutely fine with it.

    Interesting I actually thought maybe mine was a dud I found it so bad

    I've followed the skin nerd for ages and always really liked her but as others have said I'm surprised she did that skin workshop with Penneys. She has always promoted high quality skin care with good ingredients and talks in depth about these products and what the ingredients actually do. She's also said she only promotes a brand after receiving training from them and trying them out for a while. How can she stand by Penneys skin care with the same level of integrity? They must have offered her a lot of dosh.

    I think I remember her doing a thing with Penneys previously, earlier in the year maybe. It could have been a facebook live or something. I haven't watched it.

    Out of all the bloggers/snapchatters I follow she was one of my favourites and must say I am so surprised at her and really put off by it. I had intended to sign up to her consultation clinic after Christmas and really thinking twice about it now.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 383 ✭✭Lindy97


    I wonder has anyone been in contact with her to ask her opinions on the quality of Penney's skincare product versus say Image who she has previously been a huge advocate of. It seems a very very strange U turn to make so I'd love to hear her address it. Even if she says the Penney's products are fine, they are cheaper for a reason surely?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 436 ✭✭wendydoll


    Maybe the penneys skincare range is good. I just wouldn't be washing my face in it. It's like the perfume, everyone raging about penneys perfume is like jo malone. No it is not. It's overpowering at first, then it's semi-grand and then there's feck all scent from it.

    There's been quite a few on that thread in the galz who snap group who said that it was terrible and burnt their skin after using it!

    Really, not really surprising. Granted not everyone is going to have positive reaction but you can pick up proper skincare ranges for €10-20. I'll stick to my La roche posay


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,039 ✭✭✭✭retro:electro


    There's no way in hell im putting Penneys skincare anywhere near my skin, no matter how fabulous some blogger says it is. Awful move on her part. She's just diluted her credibility.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 436 ✭✭Ray37


    Seriously, she's collabing with Penneys??? Ah now, that's a joke. I would only ever grab their makeup wipes if I was desperate, and they are brutal on your skin!! Shows you wherever the cash is, the integrity isn't.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 398 ✭✭SpillingTheTea


    If she’s trying to promote more affordable skincare, I think The Ordinary would have been a better fit as it’s proper skincare with a more affordable price tag.

    Yeah it's really good quality and all about the fact that it's basic ingredients/chemicals without all the fluff which I would have thought was right up her street.
