Lydia Millen #27 They threw me to the wolves and I came out selling a back mitt

[saneinsanity2020]

I think her viewer feedback is a marketing tool. She’s trying to hype a product that hasn’t been created yet so that when it does launch, her followers feel some sort of ownership - that they helped “create it” so have some unconscious need to buy it regardless if they actually need it.

It's a much better tactic than hyping it up for over a year, refusing to even let slip what it is, then realise you 'created' something no-one wants.

I get really irritated by articles that are inaccurate- she is not “Milton Keynes born” ...,she from Watford, croxley green though doesn’t mean she was born there of course but why put something in a article unless
It’s correct?

I’m the same with ‘bought their dream home in Buckinghamshire’

Can you remember on a vlog, her and Carrie were in London I think, and she was using her handbag to carry some fries in, it must have really smelt bad after that. I can't remember which bag it was, a Chanel one?

I remember that. She was trying to shade Tattlers or the other site. So she and Carrie were messing around.

Just had to say that whilst I want be tuning in to Ali’s vlogs, that he just seems so sweet. He isn’t the brightest bulb in the box but he so clearly always wants to learn from others. Lydia constantly corrects him (not that she is always right when she does!) and he is never defensive. He listens. Also he is actually really creative when Lydia is not. Ali has such attention to detail and is clearly talented/ has a bit of a natural flair with photography and videography. I’m sure he is always learning new techniques etc. At least Ali is paving a skill for a career after influencers die off.

Ali's skill is a big part of why we used to enjoy Lydia's videos when he edited them

Review from a fan


She does a much more in-depth job of showing the product than the owner of the brand.

 

[MaryRya]

Josie hearts a lot of comments without reading them, she has been known to even heart comments criticising her as well I think she just blindly hearts the first 100 comments so it looks like she is interacting with her viewers and then after a few hours she goes in and deletes all her negative comments.

Yes noticed that and lots of criticism comments about Lidle she heated too

From what I can vaguely remember, this lamp costs about £3000, if you buy an original. Its featured in Aynhoe Park, which I think is where Lidl and Aldi got married. I wonder if that's why Lidl wanted one years back

I think she will definitely buy it now!

 

[Literally-Lou-Lou]

It’s basically saying if she’s acting shady as fuck, lying to everyone, and basically not doing her job properly then the action is on me to do something about it.
No, the action lies with the influencer to get out from under your blanket and sort your shit out. Something to add to your to do list, not mine!

Agree, but only if doing something about it means to avert your eyes and just walk away ... leave her alone to scam anyone gullible enough to stick with her.

Was there an option to buy blobby through PayPal ? If I'm buying online I either use PP or a credit card

 

[Miss Trunchbull]

I took some screenshots on launch day and the day after because I noticed the order numbers were covered up (potentially used a code for a free box or just for security), and one posted the day after launch day showed order #1 which I thought was odd!!

Didn’t end up posting on Tattle as didn’t think much of it at the time!

First 6000 orders! Hilarious

genuinely can’t see a romantic connection or sexual chemistry between those two! Ali is definitely Not just straight man perhaps bisexual ( who knows). I feel like he’s sticking with her because they both desperate to live in a massive house and keep repainting and redecorating so don’t have to actually spent time with each other during the day! Poor guy he’s probably equally sick of her shit and try’s to avoid her by hiding in his office - only room she can’t renovate again and again!

But she is renovating HIS office for him next

 

[Classychick]

i felt bad for Ali when he said hes cool and lydia said 'yeh something like that'

I guess she like to dominate and to be honest I think she got him into blogging ..
When they met he used to be electrician or so ?
So I think she knows it's her achievement that he grew over years ...

 

[Classychick]

Do you keep the product too? Did you raise a complaint?

Don't forget to leave a review on trustpilot please

 

[Bojangles]

Do you think the video will be up on time? (if there is one)

I think it will be pre-recorded. But it will be so bad if she releases that video and mentions nothing (we all know she manually pushes the bottom to release the video) it’s not “scheduled” it will create a whirlwind of hate in my opinion.

I assumed that she maybe bought the item and the zipper was broken? Must agree the wording is little bit confusing, first starts off as friends bought and then the zip is faulty.
Not sure, but this seems to be the reason they want to seek advice: “Also they changed the name of the product just after launch, so I think we have been illegally sold these products, and I intend to seek advice from Citizens Advice Bureau.“
Selling something as Glo by Lydia... but then the item comes as Glo Beauty Co? Isn’t that cause for seeking advice, or is it absolutely legal?
I could understand if Glo Beauty Co is a subsidiary of Glo by Lydia or vice verse but there’s no mention of a connection on Glo website.
on their website under T&C:
We are GLÓ by Lydia Elise Millen (registered name LEM BEAUTY LTD), company number 11847060 and with registered address The Stable Yard Vicarage Road, Stony Stratford, Milton Keynes, United Kingdom, MK11 1BN ("GLÓ by Lydia Elise Millen", "GLÓ by Lydia", "We" or "Us").

Well if you bought something labelled as Chanel and Fruit of the Loom turned up, that would be illegal but buying something which says GBC on the box from GBL isn’t illegal as you’re still buying the advertised product and not something pretending to be something it isn’t (I say that with a pinch of salt of course as this product is pretending to be lots of things it’s not... but that isn’t the issue here )

and one of the many hilarious things about this is that it's a bundle costing £50 worth £64. SEE HOW IT WORKS LYDIA. How can she advertise this without cringing? I'm dying of second hand embarrassment. Seems like she might actually be a good actress though, so there is that.

Came here to say this!! Also if she plans to restock this week, that's £50 less to spend on her crap bags of her viewers spend it on a teeth whitening set she's promoting

Vlog - Thursday 02.07.20 (Late but Lydia has no concept of time. Or reality).

- 2 seconds in and I want to drop kick her. The baby voice to Lumi is unbearable. Now Ali is starting to use a baby voice. I want to drop kick him too. I'm not a violent person by any means, but I've hit the point that I definitely would, although I wouldn't want to catch stupid.
- It's sunny outside so she wants to get all ready - a full tan, full makeup 'for the pea'. Not actually sure of the logic behind this in an actual heatwave, but I guess you're never too old to learn something stupid.
- She wants to try St Tropez's extra dark tan next. She acknowledges 'the way she does her tan she has it nailed'. I mean Jesus got nailed to the cross. And that didn't end well either. She uses different tans for different outfits. She's literally erratic. Over a million sperm and you was the first to hit the egg Lydia?
- She finds it easy to talk about things she loves. That'll explain why there was only one fleeting mention of Glóby tanning shit-kit in a 30 minute vlog. On fake tan. That makes sense. You've got the marketing skills of a crayon Lydia.
- Her in a bikini is just for 'our viewing pleasure'. This along with her highlighting her feet are gross right now. I take no pleasure in gauging my eyes out Lydia.
- St Tropez packaging is recyclable did you know? Tell me again about Glóby packaging Lydia? I can't quite read the composition on your website.
- Her one daily task is painting cardboard. They're all white. Standard. Ali's daily fifty-seven tasks are doing more flowerbeds and putting up lights. Ken is coming back. She states he's allowed her to 'smash his balls'. Ali must be thanking his lucky stars that his balls are getting a day off.
- She's taken a few days off as she was not feeling well. So unwell she didn't even fake tan. All that amazing feedback must have really got to you Lydia? Seems like you had a case of being a lil bitch.
- She shouldn't be vlogging as she has 2 virtual appointments but she's fitting us in. A whole 2 appointments. Definition of girl boss right there. Or not.
- More St Tropez. She looks orange but she highlights it looks darker in real life. You're meant to leave it on for 3 hours for the darkest tan. She leaves it on for 8 hours. I'm not going to insult you Lydia, I won’t do as good a job as nature *sorry fake tan.
- St Tropez have a 1/3rd off at Boots currently. Laters Cult Beauty. It's a good job really, her first 500 *59 customers who received a free sample currently only have one tanned leg and one tanned arm so need this discount. Pronto.
- She was going to buy the courtyard limestone flooring but 'they ended up working with us'. After beg #57. Freebies can't buy happiness, but it sure makes living with misery easier, hey Lydia?
- Her Wisteria are living their best life. One isn't thriving though. She's cheering the underdog on. Us too Lydia. We even made Ali his own thread.

Genius!! The bit about Ali's balls

I don’t understand why ‘beauty bloggers’ are saying they’ve never seen the back exfoliator / applicator before! I bought some from Selfridges about 3 years ago from a brand called Bronzie! So surely they’ve seen these too it’s actually frustrating me

I bought one off ebay for £4. Exactly the same thing. They've been about years.

There's more lol:

More episodes than EastEnders ...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1nf9HYnHzRc

She actually sounds so happy and genuine here...this was why I started following her initially. Sad how much someone can change where money(grabbing) and 'fame' are involved. Would be good to send her that video...maybe open her eyes a bit
