Agreed. And I suppose when she started journalism there was no below the line. The only feedback would have come in the form of letters. So she’s still got some of that old guard entitlement. Added to which she still sees herself as a journalist, rather than a salesperson, and being nice to the trade is not part of the job descriptionIn that comment she comes across - to me - as genuinely taken aback that someone could have thought there was room for improvement.
I think her view of herself (or of her content/brand) as unimprovable is part of her problem with here. Because she doesn't, it seems, accept that there could be any valid criticism, our critical comments here must therefore be motivated by some inexplicable hatred of her or by the sort of mental health that needs 'help'.
This is a good point, well made. The blurred line between writing for press and influencing doesn’t help. Influencing is selling “yourself as a brand” to promote brands. Criticism of “a piece” can be batted away - it’s what the brief required, the subs changed something, I don’t write the headline, you don’t know “me” from one article.In that comment she comes across - to me - as genuinely taken aback that someone could have thought there was room for improvement.

It’s because she thinks she’s doing us a favour by bestowing her wisdom, almost as though she’s doing it for free.In that comment she comes across - to me - as genuinely taken aback that someone could have thought there was room for improvement.

Yes, she definitely feels her followers owe her a debt of gratitudeIt’s because she thinks she’s doing us a favour by bestowing her wisdom, almost as though she’s doing it for free.
I'm still eagerly awaiting the Murad pigmentation serum content.She did the same over her retinols video, such a lead up, promising it “this weekend, hopefully” but not delivering. You’d think she’s producing a major motion picture. Odd. But then the world of an Expert Content Creator is a closed book to me. Talking of books…
What happened with that?! I bought the Murad serum off the back of her video but when I went back an hour later it was gone?! And the serum destroyed my skinI'm still eagerly awaiting the Murad pigmentation serum content.
Nor is there ever any kind of in-depth research involved.Does anyone else notice that the majority of her reviews/recommendations are always with companies she has or had "relationships" with? She does not stray far from their comforting paychecks.
Others will remember more details. But I think from memory basically she was paid to promote the serum and in the video mentioned the benefits of vitamin c for the skin…an ingredient which isn’t in the serum! It was pointed out in the comments and the video was taken down. She had some vague stories saying it would be back up soon. But nothing ever eventuated.What happened with that?!

I’m sorry it didn’t work for your skinhas it healed up somewhat since?
I'm glad you said that. I have one and use it until it runs out. The one atm is a Boots No 7 I got for £5 in a clear out sale and is lovely. I don't even bother to look for a new one until I need it. But then again that is my jamHow many foundations do you beef-faces tend to use regularly? It pissed me off in Sali's video when she said that she doesn't think any woman would only own one foundation. Well, I only own one. I like the way it makes my skin look, so why would I keep shopping around?
