I’ve just read on IG a ton of people asking about their book delivery. She is short and rude. Not one ‘thanks for buying it’. Just ‘ contact Amazon and ask them’. She’s plain bloody horrible and ungrateful. That book made her minted.
I’ve just read on IG a ton of people asking about their book delivery. She is short and rude. Not one ‘thanks for buying it’. Just ‘ contact Amazon and ask them’. She’s plain bloody horrible and ungrateful. That book made her minted.Every bugger knows. She only mentions it eight hundred and twenty twelve times a year.
Credit where credit is due, the basis of some of her advice is great. When I first became aware of her 8 years ago, my skin was shocking. Some of what she says is actually good, and my skin has never been better. Sadly, she's also turned into an absolute ding bat who believes her own hype.
I think she has a huge following because people might find her more relatable than some super young and perfect Instagrammer if you see what I meanNew to this thread - I’ve heard of people mentioning CH, usually in hushed reverential tones, as if she has the key to perfect skin etc etc. I’ve just, for the first time, watched some of her stories - and I don’t get it! Am I missing something? She just looks like some very ordinary fudge faced hausfrau with circles under her eyes and lines/bags too. Is her look something we are supposed to aspire to? Or is it a case of don’t do as I do, do as I say - because if she’s promoting products and skincare routines, I don’t want to end up looking like her!!!
What do you think is going on? (I don't mean that rudely- I'm interested.)Does anyone else think the whole book launch is skeevy? Preorders being cancelled at Waterstones and Amazon, all the signed copies seemingly being the ones that got cancelled even though she "spent ages" signing? I get a weird feeling about it
What qualifies someone to do so? Anybody can write a book on anything! I could write a book about quantum physics, I guess it just wouldn’t get printed.Is she even qualified to write a book about skin advice etc?
I don't know! She just seems to be prone to technical "glitches " with everything, I do think that there is a level of incompetence that's being blamed on the sellers. Whether they haven't volume of books they needed, she hasnt signed as many as were sold or they're logistically more difficult than planned, I don't honestly know. I just wouldnt be confident ordering from herWhat do you think is going on? (I don't mean that rudely- I'm interested.)
I don't think she can be balmed for glitches with third party sellers such as Amazon, Smith's and Waterstones I think in all likelihood demand has outstripped supply with signed copies and it's possible that the printers haven't printed enough copies due to covid and lockdownI don't know!

No she hasn’t. I watched her and read her comments. Not one thank you. I think she’s peaked and will be long gone next yet.She’s being just fine with folk asking about their Amazon preorder?
Definitely. Total Amateur Hour.Yeah I don't think she has the most competent people working for her. Apparently she and her team spent "half a year" working on those retinol videos. I watched and they were mostly just her talking about the inci lists of products... She should stop employing family members, they're clearly leeching off her.
I think that Dija is brilliant but Caroline is not so much.I still can't get over the fact that she contradicts herself every two seconds. She says formula is king but then says there's no point buying a product with actives not being in the first 5 ingredients. The gag is, her holy grail product Kate Somerville Deep Tissue Repair has literally got one single peptide dumped towards the bottom of the inci list.
I cringed so hard during her live yesterday, when queen Dija was schooling her on new technologies and products, people in the comment section knew more about them than she did. Yet she's the one got a book coming out called "Skin Care"...
She claims that all supplier have lots of stock.I don't think she can be balmed for glitches with third party sellers such as Amazon, Smith's and Waterstones I think in all likelihood demand has outstripped supply with signed copies and it's possible that the printers haven't printed enough copies due to covid and lockdown
Not at all.Is Caroline even a qualified dermatologist? If not, what is with people giving advice/writing a book on topics they aren't qualified in?
Basically she's done the training to work on a beauty counter and has worked with brands in the skincare space for a long time.Training:
Brands:
- I first qualified in CIBTAC (Aesthetics) at the original Steiner School in Wardour Street, Central London. There are similar courses available in Ray Cochrane, London College of Beauty Therapy, CIDESCO’s website and ITEC’s website.
- I did post-graduate courses in France with Biologique Recherche among others.
- I am insured internationally through BABTAC and Balens.
- I am trained in (well) over 100 brands and a globally qualified advanced aesthetician. My career has involved developing bespoke facials and training teams internationally for top brands in the UK, USA and Far East.
- I have been in retail for 35 years and working as a Consultant to brands in the Beauty Industry for 15 years, advising brands on the route into market, where they should be selling and why. I am not currently consulting for any brands on a full time retainer basis, I occasionally work on a half-day/full day basis.
