Well the OG kit which cost an arm and leg will be over a year old. That’s all I can remember. I was looking at space NK sale where most things are 25% off , but even then skincare is extortionate in price. Like do these moisturizers change my life or what? I wish I never got into skincare some days. I solved my acne with benzoyl peroxide and differin. But none of these magic creams make me think I’ve outwitted aging in any way.

Putting old kits on sale for Bun Friday. Hope she’s not selling expired products!
Some of the items will have been pretty close to expiration when they originally went on sale, so yes, I’d imagine by now they could be well past 🤢

Also, I thought they were all sold out? Hmmm… give them away to someone who needs them ( not the freaky freaks) I’m not parting with my cash for a product that sat in storage for 2 years. They should be given away for free.

And sorry not sorry but trinnys retinal is way more enticing than hers. So all the skin accounts going off on how great it is and how they love the circle on the lid… they can get bent too. A lot of noses got something brown on them.

This seems to be a medical issue rather than a skincare issue. WHY has it been approved?! Makes me want to bash my head against a wall. Go a to doctor.

This is one of the things that frustrates me the most about the Freaks group, all the posts asking for what is effectively medical advice that should be sought from a pharmacist or doctor. As for not being able to get an appointment, a lot of GPs have the facility for patients to submit photos.

Also if the budget is that small, and the person might need to file for bankruptcy, gifting someone something fancy doesn't necessarily help. When it runs out they're going to need an affordable item to replace it with!

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

Can’t deal with any of this shite today!

The woman facing bankruptcy - perhaps you shouldn’t be considering a *second* cleanser and facial oil as essentials. One cleanser and one moisturiser is fine. Clearly just on the beg.

The dick who wrote the poem - no bleeping words. smh.

I can’t find the poem has it been deleted?! I was wondering which sad person wrote it

Was this removed? Can't find it. 😕 I want to know who wrote it.

Was it sad sabz or my favourite American living in Germany?

The 'ode' is still up. It's by the 66 year old woman who recently posted a selfie

I've included the whole thing here

There is a woman lives in London
Caroline Hirons is her name
And if you haven’t heard of her then skincare is not your game

But if you love your skincare
If you want some great advice
There is really just one person
You dont need to roll the dice

A woman of great standing
A woman that you’ll love
She will not give you bull tit
It’s like manna from above

We all need help with our routines
From someone that we trust
Someone with integrity
That really is a must

She has many faithful followers
Skin Freaks our FB name
We watch her Insta lives at 5
Like moths up to a flame

Her qualifications and experience are without question vast
A knowledge of ingredients and formulas she has amassed

But this alone is not what makes her rock my world
Listen to her talking
Hear those pearls unfurled

Always honest, always caring and compassionate to boot
Lots of funny sayings which really are a hoot

Her work ethic and family values
They are truly top drawer
Whatever she puts her efforts to
You really can’t ignore

Her blog is her home planet
Her book bursts with advice
Her kits are truly legendary
And what an amazing price

She brings us friends we love to see Like Jordan and Josh and Kate
And of course our Dr Marco
Who everyone wants to date

So here we have our icon
Fighting battles on all fronts
Black Lives Matter
Beauty backed
Vaccines
That’s just a start
Now don’t just leave it up to her
You too can play a part

Now Please hold Paula
You know what I mean
It’s time for a brew
Winner winner chicken dinner

She has set a great example
For what a caring human should be
With unsurpassed values and passion
I am sure you do agree

I don’t know how to finish this
Other than to say
During a major crisis with my granddaughters mental health
She helped me find a way

I felt so weak and vulnerable
I really didn’t cope
But Caroline kept me grounded
I knew I had to hope

I have never been so proud of my son for how he copes
Or my daughter for the support she gave him
They kept it off the ropes.

Lots of tears were shed
No resolution seemed in sight
The support just was not there
It was our darkest night

I have always been a fixer
I was the family rock
But for once I needed help
And that was such a shock

Just listening to her voice
Just seeing her lovely face
I gave me such an anchor
It filled me full of faith

I could not talk to anyone
I did not eat or sleep
I had major anxiety
I do not want to repeat

The situation it has eased
The eggshell walk is less
It has taken lots of tears
But we are not in such a mess

So I salute you Caroline
I am sure you really have no idea
How you touch our daily lives
With your humour and lack of fear

Your skincare advice is without exception
The absolute dogs bollocks
But there is so much more to you
No what rhymes with bollocks?

With so much love 😘

Just to clarify, is it the 66 year old that looks like she’s been embalmed? 😜😆
