Social media influencers bragging ?

Ray37 · 23-09-2017 7:40pm

It was snapchat

wolfmoon87 · 23-09-2017 7:41pm

For the last while she's been really pushing for people to comment on her instagram posts. Running secret giveaways, "just post anything under my last pic to be in with a chance to win". She's just trying to get her interaction up with this click-bait type behaviour.

Yeah I really don't understand why they are called 'secret giveaways'. What's the secret part?

Ray37 · 23-09-2017 7:47pm

She's rumored to have been buying insta followers for quite some time. I think the drive for comments is likely being pushed by her agency to make it look like she has more engagement. I think it's to cover up that she was getting very little engagement, and Id imagine in order to get collabs any brands in the UK want to see this.

blairbear · 23-09-2017 7:49pm

In the UK, snapchat followers don't seem to count at all in terms of an influencers reach. They are all about instagram and youtube.

I guess this is mainly because only the snapchat user themselves can see how many follow them, so the brands working with an influencer can't quantify the following or growth.

That's why she has people commenting nonsensical rubbish like #snapfam on her instagram pics.

But surely they can just check on Social Blade?

Actually come to think of it when she made him breakfast and said "I'm such a good wife" it was totally cringe.
Then she said I'm getting loads of messages, no we didn't secretly fet married it's just a phrase.
Yes, for married people. I've been with my bf 7 years and never said that.
Guaranteed her fans were messaging him too omg congrats!! Level 5 hint dropping.

Yes, exactly you can. Hence why she's trying to fix the blatantness of it by pushing people to comment.

Ray37 · 23-09-2017 7:54pm

She has increases of over 500 followers a day at least once a week....

MuffinTop86 · 23-09-2017 8:05pm

Hahaha overly attached girlfriend, love that meme!
I never saw that actually. I still like her though, even on full intensity mode. She seems happier than she did while single. The rants every two weeks have stopped anyway.

siobhan1983 · 23-09-2017 8:26pm

I just realised I got blocked By the MUF for asking her about that new skincare brand she is being paid to promote! Asked her was it genuinely good as she had been raving about pestle and mortar only a few weeks ago and that was an ad too!

I'm not saying this to be bitchy against MUF but I wonder if you should drop the Italian skincare a message saying that their new brand ambassador blocked you for sending <insert message>. I'm too afraid to ask any of the influencers questions in case I get blocked and that's not good for any company that they are representing.

Ray37 · 23-09-2017 8:31pm

You should be able to ask a 'brand ambassador' a question without being blocked. She's a disgrace, anything that isn't glowing praise is deleted or blocked. How can brands associate themselves with someone so shady I wonder?

But it's not just her, there are so many that hate any genuine questions that's not outright praise. I've seen so many people blocked for being "haters" when the reality is they just asked a question (obviously there are trolls but I'm not talking about them).

siobhan1983 · 23-09-2017 8:43pm

I just asked her a genuine question as to whether she was using the product long enough to be able to rave about it when she was only raving about the other products a few weeks beforehand and we all know it takes a few weeks to see results! she had said pestle and mortar were the most amazing skincare etc and then the new Italian brand were the most amazing ones! Both with #ad! Asked her In a really nice way does she use them all the time! She sent a really bitchy reply saying you are allowed to use different brands of makeup etc!!i said fair enough but it's just hard to see whether they are genuinely great as she is being paid to say it rather than showing any evidence of the positive effect it had on her skin! She replied with the incredibly mature comment of " do you just eat one kind of cereal!!" My reply that I don't actually like cereal (which is also the truth) got me blocked!!!

Ray37 · 23-09-2017 8:48pm

If the skincare is so amazing, why doesnt she ever snap with a filter, and why is every photo on Insta facetuned? You can't see the real texture of her skin at all. That brand seem like cowboys by hiring her I think. Nobody actually knows what she really looks like.

I've seen a few without filters I think but not for a long time. She's done a few post gym back before Paul. She has freckles and I think she looks so much better without the filter than with. The few freckles she has really suits her

I meant to unfollow her but forgot to do it on snapchat, just saw her reach for a bottle of drink there and her left hand is ring free... The one she deliberately hid on instagram.

I'd be very surprised if he proposed, he's nowhere near as into her as she is. Sure she has a hat saying Wifey already.

wendydoll · 23-09-2017 10:06pm

Even if she did get engaged you'd have to nuts to have a jumper saying wifey when you are really only a fiancée. Say his friends rip the piss out of him for the way she carries on. It's not normal. Ok some dream of getting married etc but jesus if you boyfriend was cooling the jets and you were still making comments/buying thing like that, you would have to be nut. If you want to have those desires, at least keep them in your head while you aren't getting the same reaction from your other half

I unfollowed on Snapchat after the million snaps about the YSL bag !

Think your right but I just don’t get why you would want to wear a top with Wifey on it, the carry on is bizarre.

He seems quiet cheesy so could like that sort of stuff cause but I know for sure I’d be scarlet wearing something like that on a random Tuesday ðŸ™„

MuffinTop86 · 23-09-2017 10:08pm

Not exactly bragging, but So Sue Me is the worst for chewing while talking on snapchat. It's literally the worst.
Even when she's not chewing every snap starts with a tut because her veneers are too big for her gob.

idunno78 · 23-09-2017 10:36pm

I don't think I'd even wear a wifey top/hat if I was a wife! Each to their own and all that but bit much? Unless they did get engaged? Doubt it maybe they just decided to get a puppy because I saw someone mentioned it in her Instagram and she said they had just talked about it! This was last week! She tends to over celebrate things to so ya never know!!

I'm loving Lisa Jordan lately! She never brags and certainly could she seems very down to earth. Dosent take herself seriously and dosent over share! Don't think I'd buy her lipsticks not sure colours would suit me! But she isn't shoving them down people faces and her face lights up when she is talking about them! Whether they white label or not remains to be seen once there launched!

blairbear · 23-09-2017 10:40pm

If Joanne Larby got engaged, she would have it on instagram immediately.
Within seconds. There is no way that happened. It is going to be something relatively minor. Like a new deal with Pretty Little Thing or a workshop she's doing with Paul.

Unless there's a plane flying over Dublin with an "I'm engaged!!" tiffany blue (with accents of rose gold) banner as we speak! I could be wrong!

Ray37 · 24-09-2017 1:25am

That too... puke. No way is she engaged. She over celebrates the smallest things so I'd say they are just moving in together. No biggie, and not something worth making a big deal over. The wifey crap is ridic, I'm 5 years younger than her, with my bf for 6 and you'd NEVER catch me carrying on wearing wifey logo stuff. Juvenile in the extreme. If the news isnt that they are moving it, it'll be some rubbish workshop that no doubt will be cancelled like the last one, or some online training or something, something minor Id bet.

I’m getting married next year and I wouldn’t even be caught dead wearing a wifey logo stuff. Maybe on my hens and that’s it!

I'm married three weeks and I wouldn't eat a wifey top - and I'm as cheesy as they come!

retro:electro · 24-09-2017 12:47pm

Her digital detox is going well..

ratmouse · 24-09-2017 12:50pm

Does she not realise how ridiculous she looks? She is a blogger with content all about having a boyfriend. Who has a blog about having a boyfriend? Teenagers don't even behave like that. The majority of her insta and Facebook posts are all about him/ them. Same with her snap chat. Even when he's not around, she's explained where he is. Its absolutely ridiculous. She is always trying to promote his "business" and yet you don't see him doing the same. There's nothing to stop him from giving her lip glosses a plug (as it would appear they are not selling well if she has to do a lip gloss tour - did you ever hear something so ridiculous?) but he never does. Her blog basically only revolves around bragging about the fact that she has a boyfriend and she looks desperate. #couplegoalz ?? #makinganidiotofyourself more like

To be fair to the boyfriend, he's right to be not plugging her stuff on his channels. He's a personal trainer, he'd look a right sap if he started plugging her beauty products.
It's up to her how much she features of the boyfriend, and she's obviously obsessed with him. I can't see her cutting back. Sure she said before he was going to have a weekly segment on her Snapchat answering fitness questions.

I don't disagree. I think he's fierce smart to keep her off his business page. My point is though, considering how much she promotes him, he could do the same back on his snapchat even in return. Lets be honest, about 7,000 of his almost 8000 followers are her followers anyway. She's making an idiot of herself for him with all the plugging and with her unnatural obsession. He, on the other hand, isn't coming across as bad in this respect.

retro:electro · 26-09-2017 2:20pm

Jesus MUF is awful hard on herself for someone who has only put on a few soft pounds since quitting prep. It's actually really sad to see her so hung up on little changes and be so tough on herself after restricting her eating for so long. Her snaps this morning actually opened my eyes to how much she struggles with her body image in a way that I just don't feel comfortable talking about her body anymore.

blairbear · 26-09-2017 7:17pm

I really liked Joanne today. I felt she had taken on board the points about her skin rarely being seen without a filter and how this wasn't ideal for a skincare line. (FYI, she looked very pretty.)

She is so so hard on herself in the snaps about her weight and fitness regime. She is there apologising for herself and explaining herself, like she's a bad person or not worthwhile now. I appreciate her honesty but god, building a brand and a career and a life based off your appearance when you are so self critical is a bad idea. Everything is dependent on her looks. She thinks she has nothing outside of them to give her self worth. I was sad watching her snaps.

qo2cj1dsne8y4k · 26-09-2017 8:22pm

She was beautiful at a 16 she's still beautiful at a 10. She shouldn't feel like she should apologise for enjoying her life and gaining 4 lbs. she needs to learn to love herself more. She has so much love to give if she could just learn to start with herself.

MuffinTop86 · 26-09-2017 8:26pm

i don't think it helps that people seem to come down hard on her on places like forums and that galz page, where they've had to ban any mention of her because people were so unbelievably weird with their comments.

SpillingTheTea · 26-09-2017 8:28pm

I literally find it so sad that she feels like she has to apologise for a 4-6lb gain. She’s perfect and it sad that she can’t see it

Yeah I agree, it’s real mean girl behaviour over there. Some blogger/influencers can’t do anything wrong and others can’t do any right without the masses attacking.

MuffinTop86 · 26-09-2017 8:42pm

Like in a way she half brought it on herself with her rants, followed by positive vibes only and love and light stuff, but at the same time I don't really see what's so unlikeable about her.
I'm not talking about the babyish product names either, but people get really personal.
When i joined that galz page a few months ago they wouldn't hear a bad word about SoSueMe but slated her.
Which doesn't suit me cos I've disliked Sue since I gave her 75 euro to bore me for a few hours. :-D
