2015 England Vlog: wow her chin is so different!
she was thin back then too, so it can't be weight loss

Plastic surgery is interesting. I personally don’t have anything against it (though I haven’t gone under the knife myself) but I know a lot of guys who would feel uncomfortable about having a partner whose been seriously altered in this way. Not saying that’s why Eleanor Lecocq has been dumped/has such odd taste in men, but perhaps it’s a contributing factor? I know lots of guys who find regular cosmetic procedures (which Elle is bound to need at least with those fillers, and everything she’s had done previously) alarming and indicative of a shallow personality. I don’t necessarily agree with this but I can’t imagine that not affecting her prospects somehow. She really should’ve worked on her character and personality rather than blowing up her cheeks like a balloon.Yeah she's had a lot done. I think we all feel pretty safe saying she has deep rooted internal issues and its not too big of a stretch to see how both the shopping addiction and the cosmetic surgery are symptoms of an inability to come to terms with the girl who lives inside of her.
Also she was capable of looking good back before she had the work done. There are a lot of old vids where she looks goofy because she hadn't figured out how to make herself up correctly, but there are also enough where she looks attractive. If she weren't so selfish and managed to find a partner back then who loved her and stuck with her I wonder if she would have had any of the work done. It can't be cheap, it has to hurt and she would have had to explain the time she spent healing up to everyone at work.
Let’s hope no one does that to Elle because her progeny has a receded chin.I think I read about a lawsuit somewhere in Asia where a guy who married an attractive lady, unaware she had a lot of plastic surgeries prior, and was suing his wife after she gave birth to a kid that looked a lot like her pre-surgery . The husband thought they would raise a mini top model but instead had an average looking kid and a fake-faced wife.
This is such an excellent point to make! I think most people don't realize just how much you have to alter to get the Elle effect...she essentially changed her entire face shape with her jaw surgery + fillers and nose job. It also looks like she might've had an eyebrow lift at some point as well.I’ve had a procedure done on my face. I had a lot of friends who advised against it, but I did it anyway and I don’t regret it. Nor do I feel the need to do anything else. I felt a lot more confident with how I appear because prior to the procedure I felt like it was the first thing people noticed about me when they first meet me.
Having said that I didn’t alter my entire appearance and even pre-surgery I didn’t have issues in the dating department. I do wonder what Elle thinks when she has children and they end up looking like her pre-surgery.
I also don’t think plastic surgery is necessarily a cure all when it comes to looks. It might improve or enhance a few things, but you’re not going to become an insta-hottie overnight. Speaking from experience, I’m definitely not a 10 post surgery!
In today's world, I doubt anyone would care very much if you had a nose or boob job, but Elle's issue is how dramatically she altered her entire face. For better or worse, many people do associate extensive plastic surgery (invasive or otherwise) with shallowness and mental health issues.Oh I have nothing against cosmetic surgery. I had my nose done after a sports injury in high school.
In Elle's case though, I don't think she had her procedures done for healthy reasons. I obviously don't know her and I am not any sort of mental health professional, but she has so many other unhealthy habits associated with controlling how she is perceived by others that I am comfortable making the leap and saying her surgeries are part of that whole mess.
There's a niche perfume in the same vein as Black Opium - Lucrethia by V Canto. Give it a try.This is such an excellent point to make!

I'm glad getting that one thing fixed has had such a positive impact on you! Sometimes one feature can really throw off the harmony of an entire face and I am pro getting that fixed up if it bothers you.

Off-topic but I know this board is full of amazing ladies who know their stuff and I was hoping to get a perfume recommendation or two! My current rotation consists of YSL Black Opium (smells so cozy and lush) and Daisy Love (warm and sweet, but a bit generic in not a bad way). I would love to branch out and try your favorites or more niche, interesting scents!
Thank you for much for your recommendations so far! I think I actually like citrusy and white floral notes but rarely wear those these days because it's so cold out. I have a travel size Eau Rose from Diptyque and really like that (I don't usually like rose scents) but was also looking at two Byredo rose scents (rose of no man's land & rose noir)...do you own any of those? Which are your favorite Diptyque scents?There's a niche perfume in the same vein as Black Opium - Lucrethia by V Canto. Give it a try.
What notes do you like? YSL BO is a sweet gourmand and Daisy Love is floral-musky. Pure XS by Paco Rabanne is a good gourmand you could try. Or maybe Guerlain Mon edp?
Personally I am a fan of Guerlain fragrances (their in-store range is quite limited so I'd recommend heading to their website) and Diptyque. You may want to try Maison Francis Kurkdijan too. Very feminine, stylish scents.
Niche houses often offer sample sets and give you a discount if you buy a full bottle after purchasing a sample set. I know Sylvaine Delacourte does that. She used to be a perfumer at Guerlain and I bought one of her sample sets recently.Thank you for much for your recommendations so far!

Unfortunately, we can't really go out and sample perfume these days so I will either have to find a decant/travel size somewhere, or blind buy. Which Guerlain and Maison Francis Kurkdijan scents would you recommend?
This list is incredible - thank you so, so much! I'm learning so much about niche houses from this post and am already looking for miniatures of some of the scents you've mentioned.

I own Eau des Sens, Eau Rose, Eau Moheli, L'eau de Neroli by Diptyque. I think Eau Moheli is my favorite. If I lived in a warmer climate, I'd definitely wear Eau des Sens a lot more. I'm considering getting Eau Duelle, a smoky vanilla scent. My mom loves L'Ombre dans L'eau.
The only Byredo fragrance I ever had was A Rose of No Man's Land. It was great but I found it a bit too sharp so I sold it on eBay.
I enjoy Amyris Femme from MFK but the only bottle I own from the house is Baccarat Rouge edp. It's a big compliment getter and lasts forever.
As for Guerlain, I particularly love Shalimar Souffle Intense, Orange Soleia (released this summer), Lys Soleia, Limon Verde and Elixir Charnel French Kiss.
Another noteworthy house is Éditions de Parfums Frédéric Malle. My big loves are Lipstick Rose and Iris Poudre. I'd recommend Portrait of a Lady if you like dark rose & spices combo and Le Parfum de Thérèse if you're not scared of a vintage vibe.
If you like citrus notes, try:
Limon Verde by Guerlain
Chance Eau Fraîche by Chanel
N°5 L'EAU by chanel
Alien eau de toilette by Mugler
Le jardin de Monsieur Li by Hermes
Orange mauresque by Chopard
Biarritz by Chanel
Electric by Agent Provocateur
Come together cologne by Mugler
Maybe they just gave her some free products? I'm pretty sure the well-known youtubers get paid for the video in addition to free products and they usually do a giveaway for followers as well.Guys! Somehow she got to partner with Kerastase for her latest commercial (video). I would think a company like that would be a bit more picky. I usually have seen more well-known youtubers who are also known for their lovely hair partnering with them. Seems odd they would send all that free product to Elle the "not really a YouTuber".
All those headbands on top of the mirror make her dresser look like it came straight from a bedroom of 1970s teenagerThis list is incredible - thank you so, so much!

Viewpure link so Smelley doesn't profit from your hate watch: http://www.viewpure.com/j73WZVCehIw?start=0&end=0
She got sponsored by Kerastase apparently for this video. I know which brand I will not be buying from given how frizzy and flat Eleanor's hair always looks.
Her mug without make up is also kinda jarring to look at. What's up with those brows??? I take back every comment I've ever made about her clown makeup...please put that tit on.

1970s indeed, because teenagers today are way too cool and fashionable to wear that stuff. I can't remember the last time I saw those plastic headbands on someone past the age of 8.All those headbands on top of the mirror make her dresser look like it came straight from a bedroom of 1970s teenager
