I think both dresses were very stumpifying on her. I know she’s the most petite lady ever to grace these shores, but the evening one in particular looks to me like somebody’s cropped out the middle of the picture.

I agree, I saw someone comment they had never seen anyone look as good as her in the dress but I thought Kate Middleton wore it better as the style suits a taller, long legged woman.

From 8 mins. Looks like it's only got a day or so left on Sounds.

From 16 mins, 50. Again it's got got a day left. I imagine that means the documentary will be going soon too.

Just checked - File on 4 go back a few years so it looks like only the live daily programmes disappear quickly.

Thank you! Just listened to both while making the tea. Two thoughts - how dare she say people were annoyed with her because they were slung off her site for being racist. What the actual fuck. And the wide eyed amazement at how horrible trolling is and how she could never understand it when she did it to Dawn O'P for years.

I was amused by the Pot Noodles piece too "they really should do something about the plastic"

'chuntering idiot'
No doubt somewhere along the line this will be Tattle's fault.

 

[Disillusioned]

All being told, she really is pretty awful.

I'm also an Earl Grey wanker tea drinker but you all suspected it anyway.

We did. Have known it for years and years, before anyone else did*

*weak Sali dig. Weak just like green tea

Apologies for going off-topic, but I think if anyone could help, it'll be my fellow Tattlers. For years I've used Collection lasting perfection concealer for under the eyes. A tube lasts me ages, but my current one is almost gone. Had a look on Boots and Superdrug sites to see who had the better off on, and have just discovered that the packaging is different and the bloomin' shade range has completely changed
Obviously can't go and test them in my local Boots or Superdrug now, so does anyone know what in the new shades would possibly correspond to the old ones?
I use (or did!) no 3 cool medium.

Cool Medium was 2 and is now Light Vanilla, Warm Medium was 3 and is now Buttermilk.

Yours, A Cashew (the artist formerly known as Cool Fair 1A)

ps if you’re desperate, I have a Cool Medium 2 that I’ve only swatched. I can also expand my illegitimate trade to a Fair 1 and a Fair Warm 1b...






*Apologies to Sali for thinking I’m paler than her

 

[Jelly Bean]

Just thought I'd leave this here so we don't have to keep scrolling back. Is the problem the eyeshadow goes right up to her brows? And seems harsh at the edges? And her brows are so instagrammy now. Very Kim Kardashian (not that she knows who that is ).

 

[Shineyshine]

This is entirely off topic but why is Hannah Martin’s lipstick always so messy? I can’t focus on anything else on her face. (I like her a lot, think she’s sound and gorgeous but she’s dreadful at transparency and her hyper luxury product unboxing all day every day of lockdown has been a lot).

I used to follow Hannah but I stopped after she quit Bobbi Brown because she’s become the same as all the other influencers. She has a lovely personality and I liked her makeup style and tutorials, but her lack of transparency with ads and gifts, and the volume of product is truly excessive. As you say, a lot of it is high end too, so out of reach for most of us. I just find her unrelatable these days.

 

[Tesla's Ghost]

Ive just taken a look. Sali’s harping on about using the zig zag technique

"...so I have a great deal of practical experience to draw from). I hope this comes across in the columns and videos".
It doesn't.

 

[SqualorVictoria]

I draw a line at watching those.

She's just not a natural on camera. And I'm not being mean, I don't think it's something that comes naturally to many

 

[AdoraDelano]

But there's no proof then that Becky was on Tattle - if she contacted Sali directly, unless she gave her username to someone to prove she'd been posting. But then what would that prove? I could tell Sali I'm anyone on this thread, or that I'd deleted my account when I was still posting.

I don't know, there's just lots of gaps here.

 

[Eurgh]

A shroud is cheaper.

Leopard print yeah?

 

[Sheeeet]

@Mazerati here's the new Sali thread!

This is like that time @Skiddidlydaddle found us all hiding out on the Caitlin Moran thread

 

[Blahblahbuzzy]

My sentiments entirely......

The joys of being cheap and chic? Sali Hughes: pretty tone deaf

 

[GTL Old-Timer]

I have taken a gander at Sam Chapman’s eye makeup with the Vieve palette. It looks pretty good.

 

[Mazerati]

Lab Muffin is so good. She's a zillion miles better than Sali and her fake knowledge about skincare that she's worn for years.

 

[Mazerati]

All of you gushing about luxury lipsticks and I'm sitting here with my thin lips, not white enough teeth and downturned mouth. Sad times.

 

[Mazerati]

„A nation‘s hormones will be grateful“??? For a face mist?

She still doesn't understand how menopause works, or hormones, or that using that kind of hyperbolic wartime like phrasing is boring and not cute.

 

[SqualorVictoria]

The column is pointless as it's just an endless pushing of product. There's never any beauty theory or critical thinking, just sell sell sell. I'm sure it won't ever change as the Guardian rely on the affiliates and the so called "Delia effect" Sali has on sales. But yeah, it feels so horribly dated and out of touch with everything now.
