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!

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.

Each to their own but some of the pictures she's uploaded are a little much. I'd be told off now in my late 20s for it from my Mum but Caroline likes them She's not a regular Mom she's a cool Mom

This is all I see whenever she posts her sons.

Let's see what we have here...

• She had a go at Doutzen Kroes for reasons unknown. Something to do with vaccines. So brave!
• She also had a go at "children" for being "thick pieces of shit"
• How kind of her to promote Jamie Genevive's makeup line - it was NOT an ad folks, just "press samples"
• She claimed to have an American accent, she lived in Mississippi for YEARS after all
• The Chantecaille SPF included in the summer kits looked like semen
• She had a couple of spare Duran Duran tickets. Free for frontline workers, £60 if not. Her generosity knows no bounds
• Useless Son #1 and Pinkwaydrive are officially engaged, but CH hasn't posted about it because HER FAMILY IS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS
  • Excited to see what yellow and camo monstrosity of an outfit she'll pull out for the wedding
• The Freaks have been on form as always. A few snippets...
  • SPF Freak who was, of course, "in the hospital" (+5 Freak points), where her husband allegedly told the nurses to wear SPF and double cleanse. Said husband also gave a best man speech which involved telling people to wear SPF so as to not disappoint Caroline. That absolutely happened. Not a shred of exaggeration was detected.
  • Motorway Freak, who claims they did their skincare routine on the hard shoulder with a bottle of water and flannel. No Freak points were awarded though because she wasn't a nurse - try again next time.
  • Husband with cancer and a broken ankle (+10 Freak points for mention of cancer) who is off to buy skincare with his wife because he got the all-clear.
  • NHS Freak (+10 Freak points), who couldn't get an order in as they were working. Benevolent leader CH stepped in and offered to "put a kit to the side"
  • Crying Freak, who somehow damaged their skin barrier with tears. Salty!
  • The mum of a 2-year-old baby (a Freak-in-Training) who was looking for skincare recommendations for said baby.
• Fitness Trainer Ava's jawline took a sudden turn
• Ava has also been swanning around with her arse fully out, on what is probably holiday number 5 of the year
• Sorry, Ava again, she got Covid for the second time (lol)
• And lastly... there was actually a kit released in amongst all this hilarity! Last one for seven months. Thank God the Skin Rocks boxes are every month, can't have the credit card gathering dust

Hello all

I’ve lurked for ages and I just can’t hold back any longer - Ive had to join specifically for this thread. I actually ‘know’ CH as a sort of acquaintance - we work in the same field, very broadly speaking. So yeah … I can confirm that she’s pretty much all what’s said on here. We’ve attended events etc together and she’s honestly insufferable in real life.

the freaks group is just the absolute limit isn’t it?

Are you denying her Native American heritage? That's literal violence.

Oh my god!
a freak has posted an ode to C this morning!
it’s like a piece from TAKE A BREAK magazine!
it’s SO long too…
I am actually shocked! This isn’t all of it!

Wait, did an adult write this? This reads like a year 5 having a go at poetry for the first time. Having said that, a child might have a better understanding of rhyming structure. Also- WHAT ON EARTH? Why would you spend time writing such brown nosing drivel about someone you don't even know?


Edit to add my own little piece. I know this is hypocritical because it did take me 5 minutes

I started following this woman
I buy whatever she's shilling
My house is full of skincare
The cupboards quickly filling

Who cares if I can afford it
If it's new I've got to have it
I hide it from my husband
Embarrassed at my habits

I'm gifting things to strangers
With puffy eyes from crying
These strangers bloody love me
Who care if they're probably lying

Somehow I've got too much
I've only got one face!
What on earth was I even thinking?
There's skincare all over the place

We're eating cleanser for breakfast
Drinking toner before bed
We can't move for skincare kits
....Don't tell him there's more in the shed

I haven't been following the kit mess, but saw an angry comment saying they got charged 3 times now they can't pay rent... Umm I'm not one to tell people how to spend their money, but if you barely have 4 digits in your bank account, you shouldn't be spending money on anything other than food and bills...

I don’t think that’s a fair comment. As someone said above, somebody purchased 1 kit and ended up with £1600 taken out of their account. I don’t know about your personal circumstances but after paying my mortgage, bills and buying food I don’t have a spare £1600 floating around. People may have budgeted and saved specifically for the kit launch, what they choose to spend their money on has absolutely nothing to do with anybody else. Regardless of anyone’s circumstances, if you buy ONE kit, you should be charged for one.

Ahahaha
Same commenter as earlier on being told by Hirons to watch the live.



Burn.

It’s the fact that they somehow feel they should get extra brownie points from Hirons and the other freaks for having indoctrinated their partners If my husband started spouting this sort of shite I’d be having serious doubts about him. I think our friends would too. I certainly wouldn’t be publicising it!

It's very cu(l/n)tish

Thank god others are seeing the page for what it's now become, and Caroline wasn't impressed

You know what the mist packaging reminds me of? A task from The Apprentice. You know, when they give the contestants about half an hour to design packaging for a new product.

It's so amateur. I can't get over it

MORNING FREAKS! I just treated myself to a 146 step morning routine because it's my first weekend off this year so far (NHS worker here ) I'm not sure what I've done wrong. It was so relaxing; I was almost in a trance gazing at the TV (I have compiled a mixtape, if you will , of the Queen's TM segments so I can watch them back-to-back whenever I need a little boost) After I finished, I pottered about tidying away my kits into the specially built wardrobe I had made where my downstairs toilet used to be (hubby loves CH as much as me he says she's my 'SCBBSBH' - skin care bestie, big sister, big heart - ) When I started to come round from my blissed-out state and looked in the mirror I saw this (pic in comments). What is it on my skin? I literally have an inch-deep layer of grease covering my face - it looks like I'm wearing a balaclava of wallpaper paste

I wish she'd stop saying "anyone Latina or darker" about skintones ref: mineral spf. Latina/o isn't a race, it's a geographical and cultural locator. I'm Latina and black, but there are lots and lots of Latinas who are white. She should just say medium skintones and darker rather than categorising by race. Skin colour isn't as cut and dried as she makes it out to be.

Also lol at saying her husband gets mistaken all the time for Johnny Depp, Huey from the Fun Lovin' Criminals and Gary Oldman. Just loling. Her husband looks a bit like if someone tried to mould the face of a Beckham from memory in a currant bun in a village creative baking contest, bless him.

I read that post out to my husband when I saw it on the Freaks group. I even said to him “oh here we go, another begg8ng post!”
Sore, red raw eyes yes I understand and empathise but blisters and burns??! No one gets blisters and burns from crying. If you do, you need to get to A&E immediately because something is seriously wrong.
In the weeks after mine died, if I managed to clean my teeth it was a good day. Skincare went out of the window for at least a month, I just had no inclination at all - I could barely function - not even to wash my face. I had zero interest. I certainly wasn’t thinking I’ll ask what eye cream I can pat around my eyes - there was no point, the tears would wash it away anyway.

I know everyone grieves differently but I have to agree with this. My husband died of Covid in January and I have cried every day, multiple times a day, since then. I do not have blisters or burns. I just look like shit.

Edited to add: I don’t care if I look like shit!

I come on Tattle to distract myself.

Why not wear tampons inside your cheeks to save on filler?

Please tell me this was someone from here

Really feel for this poor young lady being talked about so patronisingly, and I’m sure she’d be absolutely mortified to receive the bible and some unsolicited products. Thankfully a good proportion of the posts were indicating (politely) that it was a pretty bad idea, but who knows whether Lady Bountiful will take that on board

This is honestly awful. I’m sure the young girl will already be feeling a bit insecure about her skin, and if she’s gone to a dermatologist and been prescribed roaccutane then I’m pretty sure she’s been given the best advice on how to care for her skin while using this already by the doctor.
Why do these people feel the need to insert themselves into other peoples lives just because they think they know a bit about skincare?
The poor girl will be mortified to know she’s been discussed on a Facebook group with thousands of members, and to be handed a bunch of skincare by a random woman saying ‘here, I noticed your skin is bad, sort it out with this’ is just really offensive in my opinion.

I've come out the group.

I cannot deal with the DRIVEL anymore!

- which SPF sits best under makeup
- which SPF is best for oily skin
- which SPF is good that's under £3, isn't thick, or greasy, or white, or has a smell and is available in Superdrug as that's the only place near me

STOP TALKING ABOUT SPF, USE THE SEARCH FUNCTIOOOOOOON!!!!!!!

Full disclosure - it was me who wrote the comment saying people in the group wore sunscreen to open the fridge

I've had enough *flounces*
