Yes, fair enough. I don't doubt that she suffers from depression at all. She's still not a very likable person though.

Thing is, she's always obsessed with things - her "reviews" sound like press releases.
I agree, she’s been very open about depression and past alcoholism in a way intended to help others. I respect her greatly for that.
There’s actually a great article on her in The Guardian today https://www.theguardian.com/lifeand...s-i-mainlined-mills-and-boon-this-much-i-know
Wouldn’t it be lovely if people were genuine? If you saw someone recommend something on IG & it was because they genuinely liked it & thought you might too? These grabbers have ruined what was a fun & nice way of sharing photos.
Agreed. I find her whole *thing* really weird. Does she ever post a negative review?
http://www.salihughesbeauty.com/columns/change-worst/ nope. Except that small brand facemask that nobody seemed to like.
(see the first paragraph of this article)
Oh right it’s because she was brought up properly, nothing to do with burning potential bridges with brands and cutting off earning potential, silly me.
Also - online resources are too precious? Does she think we’re going to run out of the Internet? Classic Sali Hughes word salad.
I’ve always made a point of not writing negative reviews. My thinking is that print-space and online resources are too precious to waste on products I don’t like, especially when they often work very well for other women. Who am I to label something bad when beauty is such a subjective and diverse idea? I was brought up to believe that ‘if you can’t say something good, say nothing”, so it’s rare that I feel strongly enough to speak out.

Reallyree you mean? I don't think so.
To me, negative review doesn't mean slagging off a product - British Beauty Blogger posts reviews about products she doesn't like/that don't work for her and she does it in a nice a polite manner.
Equally then, who are you to label something good when beauty is such a subjective and diverse idea?
...and laughing at her in the bath at Soho Farmhouse
I did mean ReallyRee, yes. And I totally agree about BBB.
Watched a few of her vids a while back. Never saw her diss anything. Very gushing.
amen to this
Sali does like to compare herself to a film critic, so for argument's sake, imagine a reviewer who only wrote about movies they loved ... Everything else is ignored. No nuanced critiques. Just heaping praise. How helpful - or interesting - would that be?
Yes it is wierd. Especially if she is reviewing products she is apparently constantly asked about. About the harshest she gets is 'yes it's eyewateringly expensive so don't buy it if you can't afford it'.
It isn't even a matter of good manners - just honesty. You can be critical of something without be rude or unpleasant.
not if you're Ms Snippy!
