If you’re gonna tag the brand Jack, at least spell their name correctly in your post! “Dressed by @viktorandrolf for Victor and Rolf” is giving “Cher Lloyd by Cher Lloyd”.
I read this and laughed.
They’ve fully press released this to make it seem like a big deal. Her quote ‘ I have more followers than the population of Glasgow’
Basically they’ve been trying for over a year to attract more investment - last year they took out a bank loan for whatever reason - must have needed a cash injection - that was after 2 separate venture capitalist investments to start the company.
If you look into the actual funding, it’s £2.9mil - so no idea where the £5.5m number is from - in fact it’s probably just added on to the initial investment they’ve already burnt through.
Also these investors get their cash back before anyone else. They’ve reported this like it’s cash in the bank for her, rather than money needed to pay salaries and make a better website, and try target the US market. That’s why you can spot a press release a mile off.
Their finances aren’t exciting at all, and the traffic to their website is meh. The vast majority of beauty brands fail. It takes huge sums of investment to make something stick. I just can’t see it. She’s not suddenly walking round with £5m. The company turned an £80k profit in the last tax year. A more realistic headline would mention that the company is in £5million worth of debt. Not sure that would have the same impact though.
Well done to her though for understanding the most important rule of business. Never use your own money. Risk someone else’s.
Is Jack getting a job. That could be it.
can’t stand this woman anymore. Haven’t watched her in months and she blocked me on Instagram when I asked if something was a PR product

Sorry but these brand trips are obscene. How are people even still influenced by them anymore? I can remember being so impressed by them years ago and now they genuinely disgust me. Brands flying already rich people to different places all over the world to promote a fucking lipstick. A lipstick!! We're in the middle of an energy, cost of living and climate crisis. It's grotesque to see now in my opinion.
Also, how does it even make business sense for her any more promoting products that directly rival her own brand? I don't get it.

Make up doesn’t get behind piercings if you’ve had them a long time and you clean your face properly. Also why does having a lot of tattoos mean that you are dirty?

I can honestly say I'm happy that a young Scottish girl has made a success of herself all on her own. Kudos to that. But she does need to keep Jack separate, you can tell he is all about the lifestyle and gloating isn't attractive at all. He's riding her coat tails and everyone is talking about it. Will be her downfall ultimately. She should pay attention to other successful women who keep their private lives private.
Also Scottish accents are great!

I’m going to be really honest here. I used to really support Jamie but it seems now she just isn’t relatable. The girl with the Mini Cooper getting excited about threads of glitter in her hair and so passionate about make up and totally down to earth has long gone and I stopped watching her all together last year. It became all about what she could get and it all about the #gifted or #ad. She just isn’t relatable anymore. People don’t have a spare few hundred pounds to spend on her skincare routine. We want cheap dupes of high end products, drugstore makeup reviews, full face for under £20. Then there’s Jack.... he became too much to bare in her vlogs. I would find myself fast forwarding his parts because I didn’t want to see him. I understand he’s part of her life but it’s make up I want to see, not Jack trying to order room service in a gifted hotel room. He looks like a total fanny with the hair and if the 2012 Jamie and Jack could see how they come across now they would be mortified.

Aw she’s so frustrating cos I actually like her but she’s got so little self awareness and gets stuck in these ruts where she just recycles the same patter over and over again. It was so tired/not well for ages, then it moved on to soooo busy/tired, self care/baths, really neeeeeding a holiday…..and just repeat. Totally blanking that fact that hardly anyone has had a holiday in the last couple of years and she’s been to Italy and numerous trips down to London and overnight breaks away. Spent the pandemic sitting in her house getting free stuff sent in the post and playing video games buying a million pound house. aye it’s been tough for Jamie and Jack.

Came here from the (now disbanded) Mrs Meldrum thread....
Just wanted to share my 40 pence worth. As a Glasgow native I’ve known of Jamie since she was a minor influencer, still working at Illamasqua in House of Fraser. Honestly, compared to other influencers, she hasn’t changed too much since those days. Obviously she loves expensive skincare, etc but she seems down to earth, content, enjoying life with her partner and dogs. There doesn’t seem to be the same lying, toxicity, drama so many other influencers exhibit.
And besides, if I was minted, I wouldn’t be arsed whether my other half worked either. Live in dog nanny

Longtime lurker here...I used to absolutely love Jamie and part of me still has a massive soft spot for her because she started out as a normal Scottish girl working her way up in life....however I just CANNOT deal with her when she goes on about how she's had a super busy week and worked really hard....I get that it probably isn't all sunshine and lollipops being under pressure from big brands but quite frankly she should be ashamed of herself bleating on when there are nurses, doctors, police officers, teachers, social workers, fire brigade, supermarket workers, delivery drivers (the list goes on) literally battling through a pandemic and keeping the country going!! Some of us genuinely work our arses off and won't ever be able to afford the stuff she goes on about. She just appears to be completely tone deaf and was this way long before the pandemic which only makes it worse 
If she was less braggy I would still love her content but it's just too much...you can still produce great content without telling us you got a new range rover and hate 'drug store' products everything she does now appears to be sponsored by CT, UD or GHD and unfortunately I just don't trust a word that comes out of her mouth anymore

I’m sure she will be just fine as a mother. She’ll know she has to chill out a bit now and be at home more with a baby. But the baby also has a father and a family support system who can be home when she does have to go away for work. Plenty of women work away all over the world and have families who help out with the baby.
There’s a hell of a lot of strange comments on this post, calling her lazy etc. you don’t get to her position in business by being lazy, wether you like her not.
some things she does gets on my wick. But overall, to come from nothing, build up these businesses and do this well is impressive.
I think personally that baby will want for nothing and have no end of love and care
