The 4 videos we'd all actually like to see from Sali:

1. What Botox + filler I have, how regularly I get it and how much that would costs plebs like you.

2. How much my monthly hair maintenance and extensions would cost if I paid full price.

3. Here's my "empties" and the end of the month and this is what they'd cost if I actually paid.

4. Christmas special video "the true cost of maintaining myself in 2021" adding up the total of all items she used regularly or was gifted in the year for which she can wear a jolly Christmas jumper "Curtness, Crisps, Capitalism"

Now THAT would be Pretty Honest.

Shoutout to the runner up thread title, although it'll probably be even more apt in a couple of weeks time 😆

Never, in the field of hairdressing, has a hairstyle been maintained by so many and admired by so few.

It’s 2021, the world has gone to shit, it’s as awful a time to be a woman as it’s ever been, hundreds of thousands of people have died of covid, it’s Challenge Poverty week, today was the official day that the £20 a week UC uplift ended and all the endless campaigning to keep people marginally above the breadline by keeping it has failed. There’s an energy crisis where you are better off on the energy cap, which is huge, than trying to fix your tariff. Honestly? Read the room. Don’t be shilling £50 products and calling them democratically priced. It’s a joke.
Why not publicise the heck out of Beauty Banks? Why not say ‘spend your £50, if you have it, buying things for Beauty Banks that will help people who have nothing because, let’s face it, you probably have more than enough in your beauty stash right now and you only have one face and 24 hours in a day with which to dollop product onto it’?

Right, I’ve got it out of my system now. Onwards.

Thanks to @LyraBalaqua for the inspiration for the thread title. It refers to the fact that Sali has owned four skincare fridges 😂

Last thread recap:

* Sali loves Closer magazine. She finds the bullying and trolling speculation and commentary about those in the public eye 'cheeky'.

* She fearlessly went in to Twitter battle on Charlotte Tilbury's behalf. Charlotte has cheerfully disclosed many times she wears makeup all the time including at night. Sali keeps reassuring her there is no need to be insecure about this. None at all. Really no need. It is fine. People should just stop trying to make her feel insecure about it by talking about it all the time.

* Spare a thought 🙏 for Hershesons still being publicly credited for The Hair.

* Sali inserted herself into a twitter debate about race and feminism. Flailed around a bit. Got criticised. Deleted stuff. Then said it wasn't her fault as she didn't know anything about it. Basically.

* She also pointed out she is 'rarely on twitter these days'.

Wouldn't it be great if instagram just disappeared off the face of the earth right now. Imagine all the influencers panicking and scrambling as their meal ticket vanished into the ether along with their ego strokes and freebies, and then they all had to go and get real jobs.

I think the world would be better for it

Never pays full price for jeans. Never irons. Never found it hard to give up eating meat. Never uses Twitter. Never without facial spritz. Never elbowed another woman out if their job. Never doesn't declare an ad. Never went blonde. Never not used squalane oil for years.

I really miss the old days of blogging. I loved how blogging was hobbyists talking or writing about their latest Boots or wherever haul or products they loved/ liked/ hated, it seems so wholesome and pure now. As soon as companies and PR realised blogging could be commercialised, that was the death of it. They either went on to become 'influencers' or else the good ones disappeared because they were so frustrated with the change to the landscape.

For me, posters on this forum talking about purchases/ product recommendations etc is the closest thing we have to old school blogging.

She's not greasy ok? She's the most youthful 46 year old ever with the PLUMPEST MOST GLOWING skin. And she's achieved this while still remaining an XXXXXS and eating ALL the crisps. GOD, anyone would think you lot were JEALOUS!

Me again.

Keep thinking of Sali's completely false, fake, patronising and feigned sympathy towards those women who can't afford their own breast reduction surgery.

I bet if Sali had to pay for her own haircuts, extensions and her 300 different cream blushers she wouldn't either be able to afford that surgery.

The lifestyle she sells to women is fraudulent, out of reach and she's having an absolute laugh at the expense of her readers/followers.

Over the past 20 years I've been through three phases of taking a collagen supplement. 20 years ago it was being marketed as a supplement for improving joint function but, knowing that collagen also played a part in keeping skin looking plump, I'd thought it might help my skin too. I took it for about a year but didn't see any difference.

Then about 8 years ago I read a respected nutritionist saying that she took a collagen supplement and I thought I'd give it another go (I take a lot of supplements). Again, I took it for about a year and didn't see any difference that I could attribute to the collagen.

Since then the number of collagen supplements has continued to grow, and now being marketed specifically at skin, hair, nails. So when Beauty Pie launched supplements at the end of last year - with typical BP hype - I thought I'd try their collagen supplement. I took it for about nine months but again couldn't discern any difference.

So that's my experience of taking collagen supplements. However, if you read the reviews of the collagen supplement on the BP website (of which there are currently 359) they are overwhelmingly positive, saying how much it has improved their skin/nails/hair. Negative reviews are mostly about the taste and texture with very few saying that the result has been disappointing. I'm pretty sure, btw, that BP doesn't publish reviews selectively.

I don't know what to make of this difference between my experience and that of most reviewers. I wonder if a collagen supplement can help to make up for a lack of something in your diet - something which presumably I didn't lack but the positive reviewers did. The BP collagen supplement also includes Biotin and Vitamin C and I wonder whether it's those two (fairly cheap supplements) rather than the (expensive) collagen, that's making the difference for some people.

I also wonder though whether people are somehow being hyped into seeing results. That feels disrespectful of others' experience but there are reviews from people saying they've taken it for a month and their skin etc is so much improved. That can't be the case can it? Even if it does work for some people, surely it takes time.

I mentioned this on the India Knight thread but as she is such a good chum of Sali's will put it here too. India recently wrote an article about Adele (why she has the nerve to talk about anyone else's relationship is baffling but hey ho) in which she said:
Women 'put their children first, then their husbands'.
Unless of course you are India, who chose her p*edophile partner over her daughter.

I only just relaxed my cringing arsehole after the public toilets selfie. Fake sleeping photo has tipped me over the edge again.
