Not special enough. Loads of people are doing it so it's not quirky enough for our Sali (she actually did say words to that effect)
Sali Hughes #18 No valid criticism, just endless speculation about her height and glasses.

So quite a bit of difference between 'I'm not a fan at all' and 'the facial one is wonderful'
Not even a 'I used to like it but...'. Now why would you possibly recommend something you didn't like?
Regarding flicky eyeliner, I have dug out my copy of Pretty Honest and here is what she wrote on the very same subject
"Those iconic feline flicks of liquid eyeliner, beloved by Bardot, Monroe, Fonteyn and so many other glamorous women, will never go out of style. I wore flicky 60s liner for years and while it will always be a look I love, I've parked it momentarily until its huge moment in fashion passes. Because the point for me is that flicks are special- they require effort, patience, maintenance, occasion and a half-decent outfit. I don't want to wear them when everyone's at it. There are still times, though, where only a flick will do and I'm terribly grateful for my ability to draw then"
So, they will never go out of style but you're waiting until their "huge moment in fashion passes". Which is it?

I love it when influencers slag off products they've previously pushed hard, Caroline Hirons has done it several times. Stick around long enough and you'll notice they all slip up and do it.
Carefully chosen collaborations, my ass!

Or vice versa, when they start loving brands they previously slagged off. Hirons is guilty of that. Her stance on Sunday Riley also seems to change month to month, probably depending on whether she's on the payroll
oh @SqualorVictoria, only someone mainstream, not as cool and quirky as Sali, would have to ask that...
I know! Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to apply some pinky beige lipstick and put on a "glowy" base, achieved with no fewer than 70 products
It is interesting, and no doubt Sali would class it as one of those petty things that happens here, raking over every thing she says looking for discrepancies, but the Clarisonic thing - without @Mselvista remembering that no doubt some of us would be scratching our heads going 'but I'm sure she recommended them on a few occasions? And thought they were wonderful?' - and on the strength of that purchased one for themselves or as a gift.
No doubt the Sali Hughes Beauty agony aunt would find this hilarious - buy something Sali said is good? Because you trusted her? Only to find out she never liked it? Fools.
What next - she never rated Whistles?

The sea doesn't talk to her?
It reminds me of high school behaviour, when a certain product/brand is all the rage and your social standing is influenced by whether you have one. Then, at a potentially arbitrary point in the future, someone decides that that thing is no longer desirable, the rug is pulled out and you are sneered at for still having/liking it.
Sali never really grew out of high school behaviour, much as she's keen to point out at every opportunity that she escaped as soon as she could
Thank you for the receipts on this because I remember the Clarisonic being raved about out on GTL Facebook back on the day. Was thinking “oh it must have been other people or SH herself recommending it”
We may have beefy faces but the memories of elephants
Yes I have a friend/acquaintance who is clearly trying to make their Instagram “happen” and it is both painful and entertaining to watch.
Not in the same field, to be clear. A different area but the process seems to be the same.
Something just occurred to me. Is Whistles a male-gaze reference, ie if you wear out clothes, men will whistle at you? Because if it is, that's gross
I think she has replaced one addiction with another. It's such a shame, as she was a very beautiful young woman
She (mis)uses "self-awareness" like it's a bad thing

The 90s were a brilliant decade for me - yes, Sali, there is such a thing as subjectivity - and it definitely wasn't all lipgloss. Matte lips were big too. They were the years of Poppy King
That's an excellent point about the 90s. Actually, wasn't there a recent trend of 90s style lipstick, a matte brown shade? She's full of rubbish
Peak mean girl
What she never wore Coffee Shimmer? Not even once? Bollocks.
Yep, endless variations on matte brown
