Long time lurker, but THIS has finally pushed me to post… lady with the CH obsessed husband and tales of him telling nurses to double cleanse/telling wedding guests to wear SPF/wanting to invite CH to a play has posted this…. I feel like the lies are getting more and more elaborate. What’s interesting, looking at her post history she only seems to post things like this when she’s made a few posts that have had no interest :oops:

Lol, I was listening to duran duran whilst hoovering and accidentally sucked up my toddler, my hubster heard my shouts and came rushing in but I accidentally pointed the industrial strength hoover at his face and I've removed 30 layers of his skin.
I think he would really benefit from the summer kit but I have to use all the money and even the house payment to repair the hoover. I'm racked with guilt and can't stop crying, its so bad I think my eyelids are peeling, they're actually see through now 😔

Just skimmed through her body empties live. Why does she insist that body moisturising daily stops hair growth and that if some women weren't lazy(!) and moisturised like her (since she was a teen, apparently) then they wouldn't have any excess body hair? As someone who is both Middle Eastern and African (so, having to moisturise daily since childhood to avoid ashy skin and having a lot of thick dark body hair) she can fuck right off with that nonsense. It's just not true and calling women lazy for not moisturising to rid themselves of body hair (or for any other reason really) is yet more patriarchy-centred bullshit. She's telling on herself there too with the unintentional racism/xenophobia in that whole way of thinking, as most women with what could be termed "excess" body hair are not, let's say, Liverpool-born Anglo-Irish-American white ladies who can, allegedly, simply moisturise that pesky hair away.

Re: the child named after a cleanser- I'm certain for some CH Freaks, Oskia has become the new Saskia.

The Freaks group is just a merry-go-round of the same posts again and again and again and again 😴

If you want to post, you can choose from the following 6 topics:

1. Thirst trap - part A - post a picture of yourself looking amazing/filtered and break out your tiny violin to play a ballad of how sad you are about your terrible skin and looks 😥 Bonus points for being specific about certain wrinkles/spots that are invisible to the naked eye (you must edit your pic with arrows and red circles etc to draw attention to these non-visible issues, this will give the freaks more specific ways to boost your ego rather than just a generic 'you look lovely hun').

2. Thirst trap - part B - post a picture of yourself looking like absolute shite/at least 10 years older than you actually are and invent a story about getting ID'd for paracetamol/a carrot grater. The freaks will reaffirm whatever delusion you are under that you actually look 25 when you are indeed, 87.

3. Long, rambling post about a recent bereavement. It doesn't matter who it is, or if it's true or not - anything works fine - just make sure to mention your eyes are red raw and your skin is randomly peeling off in chunks etc and that you can't afford skincare so ✨ budget recommendations only please✨ This means the freaks will send you some left over "stash" (this is surplus, expensive, skincare they have all accumulated by the bucket load and will be unable to use within the next 3000 years so is otherwise destined for the bin).

4. NHS worker here 🙋‍♀️

5. Some random shit that your partner said about Caroline (doesn't matter if the partner is real/imaginary or if they conversation even happened. Just try to remember he called her 'that amazing skincare lady you love in your phone/Queen upon High Her Majesty Hirons etc etc) You can exaggerate as much as you like for these posts and they can be entirely unbelievable, don't worry, the freaks will lap it up.

6. Can someone tell me what this is, I just bought 7 of them in TKMaxx.

New to this one can someone give me a quick potted history? She's a strange one isn't she quite rude and abrupt . Has a strangely swollen face too without filters had she a face full of fillers ?
Have been pondering how to give this succinctly! and uh...I am sorry, this is not succinct. 😂

So basically Caroline worked on beauty counters, and had some basic qualifications in beauty therapy. She started a blog called Beauty Mouth back in like 2013/2014, and a few years in got some great exposure c/o a video with Sam and Nic Chapman (Pixiwoo). She was also someone The Anna Edit and Lily Pebbles linked to for skincare tips. She also became friends with Ruth Crilly, and ended up buying Ruth's country pile near Bath during the Pandemic! In the early days she was frank and no bullshit and not afraid to criticise brands (ie. she didn't like Dermalogica, but that's changed now they've paid her!). A bit of her advice was questionable (she used to not think people needed spf!) but she also did some really helpful cheatsheets, which are still on her website. Her book is basically all on her blog for free.

As her fame increased and she gained more followers she developed rather too much confidence in her expertise. She did a few kits with Cult Beauty which were super popular before branching out to do them on her own. That started off badly as they had a really poorly supported back-end on their website! She hired family members to work for her. Now she has her skincare kits, the Skin Rocks skincare kits, her book (plus a new edition a year later because apparently she needed to make updates?) and an imminent skincare like. She's made so much money out of the kits but its been pretty poorly managed - item sizes mislabeled, almost expired products being sent out, website crashes etc.

What put me off (and I think lots of others here) was her attitude and rudeness, and her willingness to flip-flop about brands/products/ingredients if she's getting paid/benefits financially. She's also developed a slightly creepy cult of personality, and her 'Beauty Freaks' facebook is full of just the most baffling shit. Lots of posts with sob stories hoping for someone to offer to sent product, people asking for medical advice, oversharing about their lives etc. What was ostensibly just to discuss skincare and makeup is now just a bit of a cluster-f*ck imo.

Caroline’s story sharing a post about how “anti depressants are NOT first line treatment for menopause”

Neither is your skincare box so sit your arse down.

I flicked through the book when I saw it in a store, it is honestly a copy and paste of the blog.

@rileysbunny that's a bit of an unfair and elitist comment. Someone had budgeted to spend £190 on the kit, that's what should have been taken out. The kit could have been a money saving idea on their part. You're honestly suggesting that people should never pay anything nice for themselves if they're not high earners and just buy food and rent? I'd think it would be silly if someone got a kit instead of paying bills but that's not what happened here. Regardless, whether you have 1k or 1 million in your bank account this should not have happened.

I cannot STAND Ava. We used to have some mutuals back in school and Ava was a really quiet girl who wasn’t in with the ‘cool’ and popular groups. Her parents were actually really strict well at least caroline was and she wasn’t allowed wear or do certain things like everyone else her age were doing or wearing. This made her REALLY judgemental and bitchy about everyone, obviously as she was jealous. She and her mum would judge girls appearances together if they were wearing anything remotely skimpy etc. Caroline is a nasty piece of work and it never sat right with me how she, a fully grown woman would actively judge and gossip about young girls appearances and tut tutting at how ‘slutty’ they looked.

I don’t know what happened after school but somehow Ava started getting in with the ‘cool’ rebellious crowds and she switched into a completely different person. Which you can still see today ie. the attitude, tattoos, clothes, accent etc. she is bitchier than ever and any time I have run into her at parties she has been incredibly rude, the kind of girl who stands there with her minions and looks you up and down making you feel small. It’s crazy to see how much she changed and everyone has so many stories of her - she is the definition of a wild child. It’s very bizarre to see her mum seemingly do a complete 180 too and hyping up everything she used to harshly judge and bitch about. They make my eyes roll so far back into my head ugh.

How the actual fuck can being on a horse allow you to check a fb page yet not allow you to do a Google search, or the email, or the insta or the blog etc? This is from the fair pricing freaks page. I've had a scroll through the freaks page as I can't sleep and has anyone else noticed the increase in people diagnosed with cancer this evening, the same evening that the kits been released? 🤔

Hallo everyone! New member here. I play freaks/beggars bingo with a friend and she had told me about this thread after she had a cracking full house yesterday (breakup, NHS, single mum, birthday coming up). Immediately signed up to TL.

Used to be a "freak" but I have seen the light thankfully. I sadly was caught up in the hype for a while, bought the book, bought two kits (the very first one in the plastic square bag and then another one last year when it had a discount) and shamefully I didn't use any of the products. I tried a few, my skin went mental and I gave everything to friends.

Now I've gone back to Clinique (the horror) cleanse/moisturise/SPF and my skin has never been better.

Have thoroughly enjoyed this thread, all 17 parts, and am glad I have found like minded people!

Note - I'm in the NHS and everytime I see an NHS begging post I want to gouge out my own eyeballs, takes everything not to comment and ask why that matters.

Goodness, this reminds me, I must write a gushing reply to boots for being so marvellous and sending me all the things I ordered. Wait to you hear, they even put them in a little box with boots written on the side. First class service from Royal mail too. I shall immediately take to twitter to thank them too....loudly and profusely. All hail the retailers, take my moneh!

I think I read some freaks are flying to London for this and staying in hotels 😬 One said she had booked her flight, but wasn't even sure if she had got the ticket to gaze lovingly at Queen Hirons at close quarters yet.
Do we think husband with broken ankles will make an appearance?
Brace yourselves for the gushing feedback posts after the sodding event.
Of course he will. After spending ages dithering over which skincare to wear to the event, he'll be a nervous but excited wreck at the thought of being in the same room as Caroline. In fact, he's even more excited than his wife! With his copy of the skincare bible under his arm to be signed by the Queen herself, off he trots to the event.

Of course, in the excitement of trying to decide between vitamin c or lactic acid and Kate SSomerville or Oskia, he forgot to eat dinner and his blood sugar is running a bit low. When Caroline glances in his general direction it's all a bit too much and he faints. He's coming to when the paramedics are there but he still notices a bit of forehead wrinkling on one of them. "Some tret will sort that right out, mate" he advises.

As he's being carried out on the stretcher, he yells "tell the freaks I'm sorry I let them down! Oh and don't forget to cleanse and do your routine, babe! I left TTDO and clean flannels on the bedside locker so you'd have no excuse not to!" He wags his fingers in a mock threatening way.

Isn't my husband the greatest?
