She said something about some people preferring an actual physical book rather than reading a blog!

Yeah this is on the freaks Facebook group. Someone posted asking about silk masks and if they were any good then that person started being an a in the comments. Weird culture in the group, no idea why the commenter would think it’s acceptable to speak to another member like that!
They think it’s acceptable because they’re modelling behaviour from their “KWEEEEEN”. It’s almost like they think she’s going to come down from on high and bestow some sort of honour on them for being a witch.

Caroline isn’t going to become your mate because you’re savage in a skincare Facebook group love.

Donations are not just giving money away, in every single big company they have teams dedicated to that and the amount to donate and to who is already fixed the year before mostly for taxes matters, otherwise it would be very easily to do laundering. And she should know well as her company is not transparent. Brands sadly will keep her on the list, if they didn't cancel her already with her non sense political opinions, the constant swearing, the vulgarity etc. She might start to die slowly when others with real knowledge and better character start to take over

The face of a woman who is going to rinse a load of freaks out soon and make a shedload of money. Suckers!!!!

I think it's encouraging people on her groups to buy a fk ton of product that they don't need, can't get through and can't afford. Just scrolled and there is someone proudly displaying what looks like every single product a brand could make. On so many levels my question is whyyyyyy
It’s a cult. They’ll buy any old crap if she promotes it. Crappy mugs and bookmarks, it’s laughable.

If CH was selling lint from her youngest son’s belly button, her minions would be rushing to buy it

People were kindly donating unused/unwanted products in the group to people who couldn’t afford them or just wanted the try them. Well she soon put a stop to that when the kits were announced!

To be fair, sometimes these sorts of boxes are an amazing deal - I normally go for the GWP from Space NK. I will admit I did try to get the Spring kit, but it soon became obvious there was a whole ploy of failed websites, special links for the freaks etc to whip the serious freaks into a frenzy. When I actually stepped back and thought about it I didn’t really need any of the stuff in the kit and the item I wanted to try I bought on its own. I just find it all a bit ridiculous, yes her cheat sheets are helpful but you can certainly over complicate your routine and end up damaging your skin trying to use every single product she’s hawking each week

That’s awful. Perhaps they should start their own group and ditch her!!!
 
I spend more money on individual products nowadays but less money overall. I have a small set of products that are used constantly. It takes the guesswork out of the routine as well. Imagine being Caroline and staring into that cosmetics room and wondering what to use that day "should I use that cleanser with that acid and which serum and moisturiser". What a load of nonsense

It’s all got out of control 🤦‍♀️

Just curious, what products did you guys buy based on Caroline’s recommendations? What tools/habits did you add to your routine, are you still doing them?

I’ll start. I bought that Clinique take the day off balm, I quite like it so I’ve purchased twice and used them up, but switched to the balm from The Body Shop because it’s cheaper and works the same for me. I think balm is great for me as a first cleanse to remove makeup and sunscreen.

I’ve always used flannels before I came across CH. I mentioned earlier in the thread that I don’t really have a routine anymore because of my mental health and chronic illness but I use the Cerave cleanser nowadays, and I use some products from The Ordinary.

I bought the Pixi Glow Tonic years ago and it was crap so it was a waste of £18. I learnt about exfoliating toners so I’ve added that to my skincare. I’m 29 and still get mistaken for 17 but I should start doing retinols at some point. I can’t be arsed right now though especially in lockdown 🥴

The main thing I got from Caroline was using oil based balm cleansers. I haven't used anything else in years. I like the Emma Hardie and Balance Me ones which she recommended.

I tried the Pixi glow tonic but I didn't notice any benefit whatsoever. Waste of money.

I also used the Ren Clarimatte toner which she used to push hard. Again, I didn't notice any benefit and gave up after I spotted Caroline laughing at a subscriber when they asked if she still recommended it.

In general, I took her advice at avoiding silicones and petroleum in skincare. Not sure if she still takes that stance, haven't read her blog in years.

Same with the body shop balm. It’s so good and they sometimes have it on offer. I don’t like the Pixi, Ren or Paula’s Choice toners either. I only really like Kate Somerville Exfolikate and Filgora liquid oxygenating peel. I have tried and loved loads of the Kate Somerville stuff thanks to CH and the group, these products are staples in my routine. I’ve wasted money on loads of the hyped up products in there and not liked them x

Oh, and facial oil. Hadn't used that before but started after she wrote about it and loved them. My favourite is the Pai rosehip oil and I also like the Ren vita mineral omega 3 one, but I'm happy with pretty much whatever I find in TKMaxx haha.

I just started following her recently and I purchased five products. Vit c, retinol, spf and two acids. Like them all to be honest. Don't see myself buying anything else.

Double cleansing on an evening mainly. It makes a difference to my skin personally speaking. Oh and I’ve started using a retinol twice a week on a night. She swayed me to buy Paula’s Choice 2% BHA which tbh, does work for me. Everything else I was already aware of. I don’t listen to her that much as I feel she’s always angry, anyone’s opinion but hers isn’t valid and wants to put people in debt to buy expensive skincare. I have a friend who has always used Simple skincare and has a lovely complexion at a fraction of the price!
