The NYX primer in today’s column actually sounds really good even though I don’t wear foundation

"When I say posh, I mean expensive. Which isn't to say any of the foundations in this video are cheap, but these are particularly expensive"
Oh goody!
Katie Jane Hughes' comments about the launch of new foundations recently - i.e. they're the highest grossing category across all cosmetics, hence this series.

Some of them who tweeted support are people I've massively admired for years, like the actor Sam West, and who I hoped would have seen the subsequent Giles Coren video, or at least heard of it. Or/and come here - certainly the threads get thousands of views so who knows?

Morning, trolls!
I see she started the column with loathing, get a thesaurus.
Why does she sign her answer, there's her name and picture, is it common practice on SM? The x stands for kiss? Why put initials? Sorry for the dumb questions. As you've pointed out, all of these foundations have been reviewed thoroughly, but I suppose she thinks people are waiting for her approval before buying anything.
The sweater she's wearing in the video reminds me of socks our grandmothers used to make and you couldn't throw them away, so people would end up with bags of these tossed in the wardrobe. I envy that you're in sweater weather, it's still summer here, I can't deal with it anymore.

'We' had to make lolol. As if she had any control over or input into K Viner's decisions. The ego. Every single thing she posts isn't hers until it contains some fib, exaggeration, twisting of events or distortion of some sort.
Well, at least she has a writing style - exhausting repetitiveness followed by unimaginative fabrications.
ONE HUNDRED AND FIVE OF YOUR BRITISH POUNDS FOR A FOUNDATION.
Not only that, but one of the top listed ingredients is dimethicone! Which of course, is a loathed ingredient, but swept under the carpet for this piece because £££
I remember reading this article which seems to be a typical example of Sali’s tendency to slag off other women. Whilst it’s supposed to be self deprecating, it just comes across as a bitchfest of so called ‘proper mums.’ Almost like reverse snobbery, showing how insecure she really is/was. And although some of did resonate with me, I just can’t believe much of it (did she really used to stand outside the school gates in yesterday’s mascara? I thought not removing make up was the worst?!)

'I'll never be a Proper Mum'
Unlike the highly organised alpha mothers she knows, Sali Hughes is sure she will never measure up. And she especially hates the obligatory parent-child social functions. She'd rather drop the kids off, browse the internet and pour herself a medicinal spritzer
have actually just done the same thing. I closed it down, she has no credibility to me anymore. She also just isn’t good in these IG videos, she lacks warmth and her breathing really could do with some media training. Oddly her old Graun videos where she sat on a table seemed much more genuine and natural.
plus, she is so behind. These foundations have already been reviewed to death online.
Neither do I, but I do wear primer, because I am a bit extra, and because those ‘cones make your skin feel soooo smooth. I don't have pilling problems if I wait a bit after my moisturiser, but I am also not super crazy about putting silicones on my face, so I appreciate the 'cone free alternatives, also because I don't like the REN one so much.The NYX primer in today’s column actually sounds really good even though I don’t wear foundation

(I also appreciate that the NYX primer is currently sold in a super neat set with a fixing spray and a lip gloss, and yes, I really am my own worst enemy)
It's cool and edgy to be a slummy mummy, don't you know...I remember reading this article which seems to be a typical example of Sali’s tendency to slag off other women.

That article doesn't age well, it was an oddly critical read at the time but particularly now we are all constantly being schooled not to judge anyone else at all ever because we don't know what anyone's going through. Organised, on it Mums aren't doing it to cheese anyone off are they? Or are they?
The blue tickers rallying is the 'thoughts and prayers' reaction isn't it? And truthfully none of them are going to take the time to read here nor ever "appreciate it"as some sort of useful feedback. They all have huge online presences and a site dedicated to "scrutiny" (I use inverted commas here because a lot of what's on here (not these threads so much) is bat tit bitchy) is hideous to them. I can't imagine any of this lot are subject to appraisal or review (not that i'm saying that's the function here - that would be quite the stretch) like the rest of us jo shmos. Plus us jo shmos don't have 98% sycophancy following us round most spaces adoring and thanking and complimenting making questions seem like an attack. I'm referring only to the questions about Botox and maybe those lucrative brand relationships etc - I feel uncomfortable reading comments on the husband, particularly his appearance.

Exactly. She’s not exciting, in fact I find her actually uncomfortable to watch, her ‘opinion’ is suspect to say the least and the subject she’s chosen is already old hat. She’s completely irrelevant
Morning Scumsters!
OK, I went to read the column and I honestly couldn't get past the first paragraph.
I can't stand the way she takes her readers from granted. She really thinks people are stupid, doesn't she?
ETA: @Tesla's Ghost , your favourite!

Yeah, you saw it first on a Superdrug shelf. Being a beauty editor. And very likely to be notified of every possible release from every brand, cheap and expensive. I think it deserves a gif, don't you think?
