Exactly this. My friend is working in ICU in a hospital in north west England and she says the news isn't portraying the reality at all. Not enough staff and staff members out of their depth. Not the correct equipment, not enough to go around. It sounds absolutely awful and I think a lot of people have been made to feel too afraid to speak to the press.Yep, the fetishisation of the health service is very strange - behind the scenes there are people without PPE and being made to work in unsafe conditions. Clapping and donating a box of Elemis isn't going to address the real fears of the people in the thick of it or hold accountable those who contributed to the poor working conditions.
I couldn't care less either. Who is she going to out me to? I can't imagine anyone I know would care.Again, couldn't give a duck if she "outed" me. I'm not in.
Me neither, and I remember when it used to be a must read for me.Can't even be bothered to read it to be honest.

That's the problem and it's entirely created by SH herself. By shutting down the possibility of comments from beefy-faced Tattler "trolls" which in all honesty is a tiny proportion of her adoring fanbase, she has alienated people who actually are fans. Throwing the baby out with the bathwaterI read it and thought, well nothing really. Wasn't terrible. Wasn't inspiring. Just was there. I wonder though if part of the problem is I simply don't give a tit about buying beauty products now. I appreciate as a beauty writer she has to write something - and I actually can't think what I would even be interested in reading about the subject right now. Certainly nothing that revolves around buying stuff. Maybe how to achieve a classic look with products you probably already have?
I had a dip into FB for first time in ages - and on Caroline Hiron's group someone recommended Sali's columns and someone else commented they used to love them but since comments stopped they had forgotten about them and haven't bothered. I thought it interesting as they were actually a fan.
A worse sin than Merumaya's packaging, and more worthy of mention, is the strong cloying scent of all the products. I found it intolerable and threw away what I bought.Also I bet Merumaya is thrilled about the mention and smarting on the packaging smack. It’s great to hear the honesty but an unexpected time to start saying it.
Me too. It all seems so irrelevant. Plus why should delivery drivers and postal staff risk catching coronavirus and dying (or at the very least losing their income for two weeks) for spoilt people ordering a cleanser or whatever 'to try' which will likely as not be used once and slung aside onto the pile of similar products? Even if they are British brands?I read it and thought, well nothing really. Wasn't terrible. Wasn't inspiring. Just was there.

This is an example of her sham honesty. Shill a product/brand, but pick some minor issue to criticise, so giving the impression of hard-hitting impartiality (usually packaging-related, or ‘too rich for oily skins’ etc).Also I bet Merumaya is thrilled about the mention and smarting on the packaging smack.

I have to say, I use a lot of Merumaya products and love them (and the scent!).

Have you tried the cleanser? Curious, despite myself!I have to say, I use a lot of Merumaya products and love them (and the scent!). As a vegan, I love that I'm supporting a small independent, cruelty free British brand
