Sali Hughes #16 The sell-out who couldn't sell out, and that is a legal fact.

[Disillusioned]

I too fell down the rabbit hole this morning! Almost 2000 comments, it's a lot to get through

She’s so awful, I can’t look any further. Definition of virtue-signalling.

This really belongs on the Caroline Hirons thread as this was her response to whether she knows about any beauty businesses owned by POC, but I'm leaving this here as there were some mentions about her IG post.

witch, WHAT?

The reason Caroline (and most likely Sali) doesn't know is because they don't care to look, nor are they being paid by these businesses

But you know, there aren't that many. Foxie Cosmetics. Fashion Fair. Black Opal Beauty. Uoma beauty. Hanahana beauty. Base Butter. Aba Love. Epara Skincare. Unsun cosmetics. The Lip Bar. And many more.

Agreed, I detest that kind of faux outrage. It's all so self serving

 

[Disillusioned]

As if anyone is going to examine their own racist behaviour or attitudes as a result of Hirons’ post. For a straight white woman to list racism and homophobia along with SPF and ‘veggies’ is belittling and offensive.

One might be tempted to call her Karen...

PAT MOTHERFUCKING MCGRATH?

I can’t stand Hirons, she’s an absolute gobshite. So aggressive.

And, I don’t get why anyone would take advice from her? Her face is as tight as a drum and the fillers!

She’s a very good saleswoman I’ll give her that.

 

[Badabing101]

Off I trot to the CH thread and insta etc
Bored here too

I mean also Fenty is owned by LVMH, so it’s only minority-owned if you class millionaires as a minority.

 

[HarderFaster]

I think she would have been paying for any MUA back then. It was her first wedding - she wasn’t an influencer, didn’t even have the Guardian column.

PAT MOTHERFUCKING MCGRATH?

I came here to say exactly this.

Good point, but I think I still makes a difference spending money with a brand that caters to non-white and especially black people, spearheaded by a black woman, even if she doesn't outright own the business. The more success brands like this have, the bigger difference it will make to the wider industry's attitudes towards black women.

sounds like a 14yo doing performative politics.

It's also launched Rihanna into being the richest female musician, so she must be a shareholder too. Raises interesting questions about how you judge minority owned, 50% shares held by poc?

Edit to add my googling. She has 49.99% ownership

Absolutely, I was only being facetious because Caroline was winding me up there .

 

[cholulamare]

She is SO irritating

 

[melfish]

Without the 'please recommend me a...' 'would this suit me...' 'where is it stocked' questions engagement would be lower on insta posts, but noone judges a charity by insta engagement so I think it's a slight martyr narrative. Bit like cringe tagline "everyone's thinking it lucy mangan is saying it" to make them seem like radical progressives

That's a tagline? How utterly embarrassing

Good point. Also she now says that everyone is feeling financial instability and giving less to charity, but wasn’t she just shilling a £60 blusher? Her two roles seem to be in conflict.

THIS! Pick one. Of course she would just blow this off using that word she learnt and now repeats ad infinitum: "Stop being so BINARY. It's possible to care about both things." This isn't critical thinking, it's making excuses for your own cognitive dissonance

Why tf does CH think anyone wants to see her lip synching? She is such a vile creature. I lasted 10 seconds. What an ego!

What temperature is it in Brighton ? She's wearing her BF jumper and she has to be bloody boiling in it. Purely attention seeking looking for a reaction I reckon (if it's as hot there as it is here!)

Exactly! It’s 25 degrees in Brighton today. She’s wearing jeans and a jumper but I bet she’s “just right” like she was the other day in her black boots.

Hasn't Iman had a line forever?

 

[Jelly Bean]

In a rather feeble attempt to drum up interest in her column - any ideas about tomorrow's?
I know literally no one cares.
It will be 2 - 3 paragraphs of waffle with a couple of recommendations at the bottom.
She is so frustrating as I'm sure I remember her being a good and interesting beauty journalist.

CT has a new bronzer out so maybe it'll be that for some 'cheering', maybe fenty will get a token mention for some balance.

Or a tory skincare column after being stuck inside with a tory for so long. Eye cream for cummings, batiste for boris, soaper doaper handwash to wash the blood of handcock's hands... soz I'm bitter

 

[Disillusioned]

She’s getting a little snippy with the blue-tickers and heavy-hitters now...

Surely just go and watch the video so you can gush your thanks?
