Botox gone bad.

If it's the blogger I'm thinking of, I came across her nickname logo thing on a website for botox in Dublin saying her readers get a discount! So you may very well be correct!

Really?? I asked her on her blog under her very noticeable pic where she gets her Botox done, as she advertises and plugs every other aspect of her life, and no sooner than it was up, it was removed. Obviously not something she wanted out

Who is the person you are talking about?

ibarelycare · 10-12-2013 11:07AM

Yeah can someone post a link to the blog please?

Yeah Lexie I just looked it up again there, the promotion is closed now but it said "Thinking about having botox? Here's €100 off!"
It really bugs me when people are willing to plug their gym, hair extensions, millions of hotels etc but won't come out and say if they've had botox! She's quite young to have started now I think.

That's if we're even talking about the same person!

She is notorious for that, she removes comments she doesn't like and proceeds to post pictures about "haters". I saw a girl who posted a comment saying she didn't think X jacket went with Y pants and it was removed. Terrible management of a page!

I commented once on a photo she had posted up, she'd posted and plugged this shop that had given her a bag and matching shoes. The shoes were dupes of louboutins and were on sale for 195 euro in a boutique in Dublin. Someone asked her about the shoes and I said exactly that, almost 200 euro for imitation louboutins, wasn't being smart and linked to the boutique page. Was removed.

On the 4th plug, I commented and said that I really liked the bag and shoes the first three times she plugged it but that I had a hard time believing anything she posted as she constantly plugs and it just doesn't seem genuine anymore. I was blocked and comments were removed and then a heap of posts calling me a hater and implying I was jealous of her. LOL.

I think I know who is being discussed now and yes, she looks very plastic and generic.

CarMe · 10-12-2013 11:46AM

I used to really like her and she's from around my neck of the woods but I find because she's "rising" she wants to keep every brand on side and only ever gushes about things. I don't think I've ever seen a bad review, what use is that?

Ah_Yeah · 10-12-2013 11:49AM

Actually, the big issue that I have is that she only seems to review expensive things lately, and she is such a role model for young women that she seems to be only inspiring expensive big ticket items as purchases. She no longer does Penneys hauls, or talks about cheaper brands, which makes her reviews almost inaccessible to people like me who don't make that much money or don't prioritise beauty products over other things.

Additionally, she is accepting big ticket gifts from readers like designer bangles, which I think is just wrong.

I found that so strange!! Readers get so obsessed, I think it's creepy!

As I said earlier in the thread, please do not name the blog. This thread is about botox, not about the person's blog and not about analysing the girl's appearance. If you have a problem with the blog, take it up with the owner. Do not reply to this warning on-thread. Thanks.

Back on topic - for me the issue with botox/fillers etc is that the person looks unnatural.

There is a "look" for face lifts (think cat eyes as an extreme), a "look" for various other procedures and the "look" for botox is frozen and pillowy.

I just dont like it. Id like to see (a difficult one to set up obviously) identical twins in their 50s where one of them used botox and fillers extensively thoughout their 20s/30s/40s and the other didnt and see what the real difference is 10 years after stopping use versus the twin who never used.

Another thing that I think happens is that people stop seeing themselves clearly because they get used to how they look - so while they might have looked great initially, they take it way too far. Their perspective becomes distorted.

If it makes her feel beautiful or confident then fair play to her, and if she doesn't want to tell everyone she's gotten it I suppose that's her prerogative.

Botox gone bad.
