It's all such bollocks...thank you for the link to the 'On Honesty' post, which I tried to plough through but...yeah, it was turgid to say the least. But then that was probably the whole point.

This whole 'I only post about good products' shtick remains ridiculous. What exactly makes a 'bad' product? If there is no objective standard, which there isn't, why does anyone think there is an objective standard for a 'good' product? Only an egotist would decide unilaterally that they 'know' this...oh.

Aside from directing traffic to her own site, is there a reason why she didn't respond in the thread itself?
I think she did but I can’t find it, I do recall her calling out “Nina” on the thread and then I had to sort out our tea.

It is there ; Mumsnet ; Influencing the Influencers Vol 2/3.

Just caught up with all this - totally agree that it is so disingenuous and unkind to present yourself as effortlessly slim, effortlessly wrinkle free when that is just not true? I get she is admitting it a bit more now but she has been an influencer for years now so drip feeding that narrative, but selling stuff to be like her, is quite cynical.
I just don't get it tbh. You can be thin and youthful with a lot of effort, why is it better to be thin and youthful naturally? Which is the implication.
Really am struggling a bit with the logic.

The On Honesty post is very interesting. And by the magic powers of deep research (my memory) I've found yet another contradiction from Sali.

The attached quote re Phillips vs the two articles I linked in the post below (#322)

Yes and not one person used the word "fat" as Sali claims. The poster simply made a joke about her assistant not being as slim as Sali and then the next day said she felt bad about it. However, Sali, in a Twitter exchange, kept reminding Lauren over and over that her "objective weight" was discussed.
I really am of the opinion now I don't really want to talk about Lauren here and I regret mentioning her in previous threads but this did annoy me. 'Not as slim' is so far removed from 'fat'. I'm not as slim as vast amounts of people - I don't care, it doesn't matter - so for Sali to keep dragging it up in a judgemental fashion seemed unkind.
Many posters here have commented that Lauren is a stunner with amazing hair and skin.

Makes me uncomfortable too. I've said this before but the way that Sali keeps reminding Lauren of it seems so unkind and unnecessary. "Remember, they slagged you off too. Remember they called you fat." It's just her way of manipulating the narrative to suit her. Almost every post on here was about her not declaring freebies, ads, treatments and so on. She chooses EVERY time to refer to the minority of posts, and twists them to fit.

I think she's referring to this advert for Lumea.
Watching that, I've just remembered that on a radio programme or podcast SH said that she couldn't go without shaving her legs because the exfoliation helped her ichthysiosis (sp?). I can remember that I was in the kitchen cooking when I heard it but no idea what it was on. 🤷‍♀️

It's in pretty honest too. The chapter about how to shave the legs of Sali Hughes.

Thank you! I had a vague recollection of reading about this before and was under the impression that aside from "Hi, here's a link to my response" she didn't post anything else.
 
You forgot her hashtag: #fullfacefriday. I mean, you can't make it up, right?
Full Face Friday sounds like a category on PornHub

I think she’s trying to be ironic given the current state of affairs. ‘Hilarious’ as the Daily Fail would say.
I started typing that too, that she might be drinking it ironically, but then I remembered her snappy reply to a commenter that she likes Corona. I really don't care that she likes tit beer 🤷‍♀️ but posting two selfies while drinking it is kind of bizarre. I guess that's how your brain has to work as an influencer, constantly examining everything for its IG potential. Must be tiring and stop you living in the moment

From a piece on SHB. Titled "On honesty".
Managed to make it clear that she's not a medium in clothes too.
From 2016. She twice makes a distinction between "journalists and bloggers". Since that's no longer relevant, I wonder if she now sees herself as an influencer (which she is)?

True, and I've never questioned why this is before. Why do we have beauty 'secrets'? Why hide the effort that is made? Why is 'natural' better than 'artificial' given we have this enormous beauty industry?

In the case of SH, obvs it's because she is just better...

The beauty equivalent of women expected to be sexy, but not sexual?

The faux-nonchalant illusion, rather than acting upon their own agency and social honesty about the time and effort and money put into maintaining the socially demanded aesthetics? If we didnt believe we should naturally adhere to being beautiful, we wouldn't feel so tit about ourselves that we should spend so much on beauty influencers "recommendations"

*I think* Sali said that 'beauty is equal opportunities' but I've never seen it as anything but the opposite (to satisfy societal standards of beauty). Needs luck / money / time / effort.
