When I worked in Boots as a teenager they wouldn't accept returns for make up and possibly skincare in u less it was faulty due to hygiene reasons. It couldn't be sold on incase it had been used, that's why stores have tester.
Yes, surely they are under distance-selling regulations?
But you are entitled to return anything you buy online in the EU.
PGT, is great for my skin, Victoria Secret bod sJust 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
She’s sounding desperate, realising her game is up!! I think she knows people are on to her.
Hey I like James Welsh who is into K beauty products but had good general advice. I like Nadine Baggott as she's older and covers more of areas that I'm interested in learning more about.
am I allowed to talk about it too? That was just my perspective. I didn’t say anyone wasn’t allowed to talk about it.I like Rose Gallagher, Trinny, Donna May and even the Chapman sisters.
Exactly. One person's 'crap' is another's 'finest organic fertiliser' and vice versa!
I follow Dr Anjali Mahto, Dr Natalia Spierings, Dr Sam Bunting who does really informative IG Lives with her consultant derm colleague Dr Em Wedgeworth. I also follow LabMuffin Beauty Science, Andy Millward and Cyrille Laurent (particularly good on sunscreen). I occasionally look at Dr Dray.
Apologies, I must have misread the meaning of your post.Okaaay
Buy her new kit.
They really need to get a hobby
JESSICA DEFINO. I only started following her recently thanks to the Sali Hughes thread here, she is a proper journalist who cuts through all the crap and importantly has nothing to sell you. So refreshing.
This is the thing - the products average £25 each. Some of them might have a far higher RRP so are seen as bargains, but you can't tell me under normal circumstances these people would be going out and buying 10 products in one go at an average of £25 each, potentially four times a year? What would be the point?
Snap!!
It's just spending for the sake of it. If I buy all my skincare products in one go, it's over £200 but I get between 6 and 12 months out of it and never have to buy it all at once.JESSICA DEFINO.

The worst part about her post is "[we] work really hard to get these kits to you" as if she's so altruistic and not getting anything out of it herself! This is literally her main source of income and she's speaking to people as if she's doing them a favour. It's kind of genius the way she's got so many people to fall for it. She will absolutely NOT be "put off doing brand deals", who the duck does she think she's kidding?
(By the way, I'm not criticising anyone who buys one of these kits if they actually want the products and would have bought a good proportion of them anyway. It's her attitude that beggar's belief.)
Or maybe the worst part is "we KNOW times are hard ... It's one of the reasons we said no to Klarna" - when she's offering Clearpay
Or maybe the worst part is conflating "offering crap" with people saying the kits may contain products that don't suit their skin/they don't need. Cynical AF.
It really is a conundrum.
