Ah. Because that’s exactly what the world needs: more neon plastic bags from aliexpress

I think the same person even admits it's just an "empty plastic bag", and has expensive shipping & customs... but she has to have it, because of the Caroline branded tag! 28 quid for a needless, and quite frankly tacky neon plastic bag, at a time of greater environmental awareness! What a mark up too, considering it can be assumed until proven, that they were purchased wholesale for pennies and made from exploited labour, with a material that causes both harm to produce and to degrade.
All this shows is there are people who still fall for the "emperors new clothes". It's a plastic bag, no different to ones you can buy for a few pound anywhere, yet because it has a CH logo, people are willing to pay huge shipping costs plus the inflated cost of the bag! Youtubers were meant to be different from sales people, magazines, brands, who pushed tat just like she is doing now. As others have also pointed out, skincare is hardly "one size fits all", especially when that box contains more than the universal cleanser & moisturiser. As a skincare guru how can she push a box that contradicts much of the known advice (most brands do categories of gift boxes oily skin, dry skin etc) plus think her audience, who likely have a drawer of pouches given free with purchase need her plastics, the box is already filled with tiny plastic bottles jeez.
Sorry for getting on a soap box, but it shows how vulnerable her audience is to being exploited financially, and likely recking their skin if they were to introduce all that product.

They're both 28. I know people tend to have children later in life these days but it's not that young. (First time poster, hello everyone!)They are both so young!

Caroline isn’t adverse to a diamond too. She was telling someone the other day that a Kitchen Aid was a crap present and she should have asked for diamonds.I actually can’t believe she is calling out the woman for being a fine jewellery/ diamond dealer. Caroline YOU ARE FLYING IN PLASTIC BAGS AND SELLING THEM FOR £28!! But yeah... aren’t diamonds such a rip off

I see one brave soul has poked her head above the parapet on that thread to question how aggressive people are. Good for her. Hope Hirons doesn't charmingly tell her 'if you don't like it here you can fuck off'.
I'll report back

i don’t really know in this case, but usually if you get a Kitchen Aid as a gift is because you’ve asked for it or otherwise your family know that you really really want it. I would have been super happy with it.
The toiletries bag, I can almost smell the plastic from here. The contents of the bag, look, it’s Friday, I think is good If this is your jam (among 12 things, it’s probably hard that your skin likes all of them). Its too much money (and stuff) at once, regardless of the value for money, and lets be real, most of her followers probably have too much stuff as is, #carolinehironsmademedoit and all that. The individual brand discounts are neat, but yeah, Black Friday is round the corner. And while I appreciate that cutting the middle women of cult beauty and working directly with the brands make luxury skincare more “accessible” (it is so the wrong word here), in the end she is just one more piece of the consumerism machine. She is a sales woman, and there’s nothing wrong with that. Just, spare me the skincare activist bit (and many other bits, but you get me).
The mould literally makes me want to go scrub my bathroom to see if I can make something happen by proxy.

This. The influencer culture needs to stop, it leads to individuals getting a messiah complex and feeling they're above any kind of questioning or criticism.

How many times can she (and Sali Hughes) say/write the word "industry"?!
Good grief! It's not like she looks like she spends much effort on her posts anyway. She's deluded. Someone above mentioned her "qualifications" AKA training in brands. I remember this when I first looked at her old website when SH first foisted her presence on us. I thought "WHAT?!" at the time. She also heavily featured the fact that she came from 3 generations of cosmetologist or whatever. Hilarious. Like they're the Fabergés or something.
Her post is massively unprofessional.
Her post is massively unprofessional.
So, was watching theannaedit's latest video, and she referenced Caroline. Saying Caroline was horrified that Anna's family had bought her a kitchen aid, and they should have got her diamonds instead. I guess Caroline thinks it's just humour, banter whatever but I think it was actually quite rude. Putting a downer on a thought out and loved present, just because it doesn't fit in with her stereotype of what a gesture should be. Why even say anything negative about a friends present, especially when she should know Anna loves a bit of baking?
Petty, but sometimes C should hold her tongue. As for the beauty launch, seems a bit odd for a "skincare expert" to create a singular skincare box, as if it will cater to everyone, also, why even include that gaudy plastic bag, it's so wasteful and there are plenty of durable fabric ones on the market if even needing to include a bag at all.
I think we can say for sure, that any of those brands featured will have either given their products for free or at a massive discount, hence she can still make profit selling it at half it's retail price. Thus, no mention or review of these brands can be taken as being objective.
Beauty pie.... what a surprise... not.

"rude fucking bitch" "fuck off" and also digs herself into a hole by saying the plastic bags had be flown over in order to get that audience money asap , and aye right she "woulds lose money" on reducing the price of a 28 pound plastic pouch. Guess that CH branding really justifies the mark up, and that warm fuzzy feeling you get for supporting her allows you to ignore you have been ripped off and are purchasing pointless plastic items that not so long ago would have been given away for free with a perfume.
Honestly, other beauty gurus get "cancelled" for far less. Why does she think it's right to talk to viewers/potential customers like that, or anyone really, because you know what will make people swallow your bullshit and claims... being aggressive. Honestly the arrogance and entitlement of this woman, who thinks she can always rely on a small group of arse lickers, and not face any of the criticisms/questions a fast beauty brand would face.

Again I'd love to see actual qualifications because just flogging products behind a counter doesn't make you an expert.

I caught a bit of her slot on This Morning ....my god she thinks highly of herself!! She’s like one of those annoying twats on The Apprentice, all cocksure, know it alls and brazen. 
That article totally fails to say that the mesh on which “snails are left to rest for 30 minutes” is electrified in order to cause stress to the snails so they secrete more mucin. The mesh is covered not because snails prefer the dark, but so they can’t get away. What a whitewash.

So who has been direct messaging her asking for freebies?
I know. The nerve of the plebs. 'There are no free kits'. Unless of course you include all the ones she gave away to influencers and celebs who can EASILY FUCKING AFFORD THEM. Imagine the brass neck of someone seeing that and wondering if there might be some spare she might wish to donate to a good cause. What utter bastards. Hanging is too good for them - as her increasingly bonkers followers are all keen to point out. I should leave that group. Not good for me. Yet I keep going back - 'like a dog returning to it's vomit'.

This drives me nuts...blathering on about how meticulous you are about not using brands which animal test, to the extent you're concerned about how snail slime is collected...yet does she think her injectables are cruelty free? Because they are most definitely not, as animal testing is essential to get these to market. Whilst most people can justify the use of animals to test new essential medicines, injectables are definitely not essential. So if you're genuinely cruelty free, injectables should be top of your list to reject.
But perhaps not if you get them free and they make you young enough to shill the shit that hasn't seen an animal test for donkey's years.

She’s the busiest person ever to exist. No one’s ever done as much work as her. I don’t know how she does it, ESPECIALLY with four kids. Did you know she’s got four kids?

That girl has serious issues, she needs help. I’m so over CH and her FB groupies. I enjoyed her blog in the early days but I wouldn’t believe a word she says these days. She’d shill anything for a quick buck. The whole yellow bag saga was just laughable. Plus she has major anger issues. I’ve unfollowed her on Twitter also. She puts me in a bad mood. She’s a very unpleasant person.
