[Thing less identifiable!]

The Matalan ads are back....

 

[Emmadale]

She’s never mentioned using Charlotte Tilbury products before but obviously all over it now it’s a freebie

 

[VerrucaSalt]

Actually ridiculous!

I don’t mind her dizzy unpolished style, I think the ‘realness’ is what drew me to her. It’s the constant ads and repetition that does me now.

 

[VerrucaSalt]

I saw the yoga pants video. Is there a leggings one too?? I’m sure I’ll see it at the weekend, when she repeats all her swipe ups from the week.

The constant swipe ups. I just can’t enjoy her content at all!!! Just STOP

Agree! I quite like her talking stories about her family life, food etc but so sick of tapping through the endless ads and swipe ups - there’s more of them than there is genuine content now!

She did get some backlash last year for hogging a disabled changing room to do get try ons in marks. Her followers are absolute lapdogs though, I think interspersing her exploitation with her grief stories stops people saying what they really think. I mean, honestly how many fucking times a day does she have the swipe up for the shaping vests!

Also very clever to have an Amazon swipe up at least a few times a day to ensure the Amazon cookies are installed. She knows most people use Amazon regularly got stuff totally unrelated to her recommendations. Means she still gets her 20p commission on every item we buy.

Very clever and very calculated

What on earth was the god awful dress/nightie in her try ons this morning!

Just catching up now. Wtaf?? It's tragic! Really really tragic!!

Something I’ve found a little hypocritical about Helen is she talks about how she loves to champion small businesses, shop small etc and today on probably the biggest shopping day of the year she’s mentioned she’s done a blog post on some good small businesses to buy from. People are much less likely to go over to a blog post, they mostly just scroll through stories. Why hasn’t she done lots of swipe ups to champion these small businesses she claims to support? Because she won’t be earning any money out of them!!

I’m finding Instagram intolerable today, the amount of Black Friday drivel is ridiculous.

 

[Cherrypie32]

Her original content is getting less and less. It’s very lazy and boring.

 

[Et tu Brute?]

I’ve had her on mute for a while now but had a look at her page the other day. All her posts are very long winded and sound a bit manic to me. The beg for a peloton was so obvious I can’t put my finger on one thing but I’ve completely gone off her

 

[Fauxfurgilet]

She keeps doing the back massager because it’s on amazon so when people swipe up she gets commission from anything they buy on amazon!!

 

[Wifo1976]

I think she looks fab too! She looks really slim - I know she’s tall - but she has a great figure. I think she does herself an injustice with the try ons and especially when she’s with her tiny mate.

Check out jamessmithpt on IG - his latest post is an igtv rant about influencers and what they do to increase engagement and attention. I’ve just been made aware of his video and I do think he’s spot on with what he’s saying about influencers who engage audiences for money or to collab with brands for swipe ups and ads - Sorry I have no idea how to link his video here...(just wanted to share, no swipe up included all free!)

I don't dislike Helen, like others say, she's more genuine that many other instagrammers, I unfollowed her though as couldn't take all the repeat try ons she posts, plus she talks like she's on speed too much.

She deffo has a problem with something. . I like things too much and sometimes get overexcited and loud. .
Helen . . Admit your addiction.
Be insta relatable ffs

 

[Saps]

I like her just not her fashion sense or manic chat! I stopped following her as her style does not appeal to me at all and can’t be doing with all the fast fashion (M&Co etc)

 

[motherofdonkeys]

There’s no need for her to keep posting the same try ons over and over, just save them to highlights!

 

[Rosiepie]

Too many swipe ups for the same companies time after time! It’s like a constant conveyor - it’s annoying and also boring! Does she keep reusing the same photos in her stories? How many clothes does she actually own? With the amount of try ons and swipe ups I go a bit crazy and can’t keep up!

 

[GAC37]

Gosh her thread has died a death. But then so has her content

Yes it’s always the same - Look Fantastic, Amazon etc. Comparing outfits with a shorter woman, saying she’s a size 14 when she is clearly smaller!

 

[GAC37]

Anyone getting tired of all the holidays - two this year so far - skiing and Florida - no doubt paid for by her constant affiliate links, it’s all she does and it annoys me the way people must click on the links and then she shows off spending it! Just doesn’t seem right to me.
