Just a quick thread for people to say what brands are on their shit list for working with influencers. It's really helping me reduce my expenditure and be more sustainable.
Next, due to Mrs Meldrums constant ADs for free next day delivery.
Sainsbury's, for sponsoring poppy deyes and her god awful blog.
LG, after their brand deal with alfie deyes to sponsor their TVs. Cancelled my pre-ordered TV.
I will lose my shit if Anthropologie gift her the headband she's hinting for. I'm glad Zara didn't gift anything after her dropping not so subtle hints.
Motel Rocks - Some nice stuff. I bought a couple of dresses from them many, many moons ago. Highly overpriced for what it is though, but I guess that was so they could afford to take Saffron Barker to Miami (other people too but Saffron is my bugbear).
JD seasonings. I probably wouldn’t have touched them anyway, as they’re just overpriced spices. But seeing them all day every day on my IG feed was enough for me!
- HELLO FRESH
Gleam, give it a rest. Nope.
And I agree with @OhhBacon those DW watches are everywhere.
- I HATE the fact ASOS are “gifting” hauls and have providing the purchases for most of the “my husband/boyfriend/rabbit does my ASOS haul” uploads.
- I really don’t like Charlotte Tilbury, L’Oréal, Elizabeth Arden or Liz Earle because of their connection to influencers.
- zoflora, I’m convinced it sending people bat shit crazy. WASH YOUR DAMN SHEETS.
- BUT Things I will actively avoid,
I won’t buy LUSH or THE BODY SHOP anymore but especially Lush,
the consumer has taken the brunt of their huge price increases and the influencers are receiving more and more extravagant PR drops.
BENEFIT and SOAP AND GLORY.
soap and glory is nasty anyway (imo ) but even if I liked it I wouldn’t be buying it. I’m petty af.
Yes this ! . I’m actually rather peeved that I used to spend a fortune on certain brands and these influencers get them free.
As for zoflora ..my mum used to send me to the shops with a list and this was on it. I’ve used it for years and all of a sudden ‘someone ‘tells grown ups how to clean and it’s always sold out.
Jo Malone
Princess Planning
JD Seasonings
Sarah's Creative Kitchen (had some of their chocolate discs once as part of a prize I won and I have NO IDEA how she gets away charging so much for reshaped advent calendar chocolate)
Minky
JD Seasonings, Spicentice (I used to buy from both of those two), Jo Malone, Sarah's Creative kitchen (it actually bloomed, and wasn't that nice when I fell for the advert), Princess Planning, Bloom & Wild, Beanies coffee flavours, Skinny Syrup, Degustabox, Hello Fresh. Absolutely sick of adverts now, and have started unfollowing the accounts who are relentless with the Ads.
