Thanks for sharing your experience and thoughts on the product. You are not the only one obsessed with this!Hello - so since the launch happened I have been reading everything on here, YouTube and IG. I’ve become obsessed. I also was one of the minions that did indeed buy Lydia’s product. I received it today and before I give my review I wanted to say - in the hope Lydia or her “team” are reading - the following:
1) It is really really obvious that you all did a unified “fuck” when BLM could not be ignored by you. At first not going ahead with a launch because it detracted from raising awareness of BLM seemed totally reasonable and in fact quite on the pulse for someone like Lydia. But now it is blatantly clear that you had to revise your offer so it didn’t so obviously exclude POC. So you put your heads together and decided that “doi” - light bulb moment - black people could use this kit to put on moisturiser!So you quickly revised the blurb etc. However, you must have totally forgotten that the tag inside the bag still says independent tanner.
2) Putting a high price tag on something that may not in fact be of that monetary value is the norm today. You need to make dem $$ bills Lyds. Buuuut, what usually makes people buy things regardless of price is the hype around the product, the thinking they are purchasing something that is desired by other people, the feeling that owning it gives a person. Etc. Now I look back I wonder why I parted with my money (which came to 60 something pounds FYI). The lack of care, attention and professionalism put into this launch is embarrassing. It would be bearable if you were starting out, saving money by getting your partner to do photos and you setting up the website yourself etc. But you are not starting out. You clearly take time to flog other peoples shit. You are - in my opinion - one of the more natural influencer floggers when it comes to running lines on a new product we should buy. Why did you f your own product promotion up so royally?
3) Be honest - did you seriously think this was the best first product to launch your own brand? I just don’t see you thinking that. Be truthful!
Ok now my review:
Opened box. Pulled out bag and said box was immediately placed on recycling pile. It’s nice opening a box but not worth it for this product.
Bag is fine. Def what you expect for free with other items but on the better side of the freebie bag spectrum.
Scrubbing stuff. Not used yet but looks standard and am sure works as standard. Ditto for the tanning stuff.
I do apply tan and whilst I can reach my own back I’m sure the back stuff will make for a quicker tanning routine.
Finally, this whole experience has left me enlightened. I no longer view these influencers with awe and a desire to follow their path. I’m intelligent and work on things that actually make a difference in this world. If Lydia and her people really thought this was a special product to spend time and money on then they are really very stupid people. Completely insular and thick. So whilst I will still watch the vlogs out of pure voyeurism, it will never be with the intention of emulating their lifestyle again. Probably will just be so I can participate here
Can I ask a couple of questions?
Did you receive the free tanner? Why did it cost more than £60...I'm confused? Was the postage more than £10? What made you buy it?

It’s either an enraged minion or someone who bought it and has regret and has read somewhere in the all comments it’s illegal to change the name.
the whole thing had been a disaster though, how did she get it so wrong! I’ve not seen this amount of outrage since zoella’s Calender!

When was this video posted? I’m shook how someone can go from being so *normal* to... what she is now? Genuinely shocked.
Her eyebrows seem to be growing down the side of her face...I thought that she tended to them.I see she still hasn’t changed her dressand what are those dents in her chin? (Dress is very chewy white)

Maybe she wasn't soo impressed because she didn't get one of the sets with the tanning products inside, she had to buy her own. Or maybe she wasn't impressed with the kit itself. From the angle she had filmed it it didn't look that impressive. I watched the woman with the long dark hair review a kit that had all the product in it and the kit itself looked better in her review.

I think the freebie she’s mentioning is the 100ml pf st tropez. She was one of the 500 to get one included.Ok so I managed to snap the paperwork inside the box ... sorry it’s a bit blurry but I managed to read it ok.
Definitely a tan kit.
There’s meant to be a video on Lydias channel to demonstrate how to use.
this girl got it as a “freebie” tooView attachment 166751View attachment 166749View attachment 166750
also I’ve just realised, she says it’s a Freebie but doesn’t have all the press release items from St Tropez.just the small bottle that the first 500 we’re getting
So some of the online “sales” must be freebies. I’m guessing bloggers received a code or something to enable them to “purchase” through the website to get them for free.

I really don’t get why would she even bother with PR, considering she has 850 000 followers and only 2300 kits to shill (which have already “successfully sold out”). She cannot re-stock. Not at this time. Supply chains are interrupted. It will take her months to get more mitts from China.

I wouldn't put much stock in that Trustpilot page I've always felt it was off. Most likely set up by some saddo wanting to mess about.
It also needs bearing in mind that whether or not a Trustpilot page for a company is claimed or unclaimed, like the GloByLydia one isn't, one can still post reviews on there as and when they want. You just need an email address and a name (can be a fake name) to sign up and submit. You're not asked for proof of purchase/service or ID, etc.
And with that I'm off to rouse my boyfriend into watching One Born Every Minute

I honestly think the vlog was filmed from Friday just gone and over this weekend. I just feel that everything she discussed, her being frantic and the red eyes just made sense considering what happened on Thursday. She just looked so deflated on the Friday. Could be wrong though. I think that had globy gone well we would not have had this video today.

how can she gain nearly 6000 new followers in one day given what’s happening on subsequent days? My guess is all new followers are bought and the red figures are the real ones.....sad times

I honestly don't think she has a sense of self ... beyond being a lazy slug on the sofa. Sad to be so lost at her age.

They both bought it then Lydia babe had to buy their tat when they release it too!I think ITF and Josie also mentioned this brand. Makes me NOT want to buy from them. Forgot to disclose #gifted. Do they have to disclose if they have bought an item with a discount?? Or only if gifted?

Josies new YT vlog is like one big advert for Glo. She really has gone into too much detail. She said it is not an #AD and she paid for the kit... yeah whatever Josie.
