Deb99 You forgot to mention that she was a teenage runaway (although she never mentions it)

And the Queen. The Queen does it so it's fine to do it. But she's not a royalist, ok? She's just into royalties.
Oh I'm sure she'll be in her element. She wrote once that she was discharged from the team of dermatologists she saw as a teen for her skin condition, because she knew more than them. ( I think this was in the guardian when writing about said condition. ) I've never met a patient who knew more than a specialist in 15plus of nursing, but plentry who think they do. Anyhow typical Sali.
Compelety loath her out right lies and the lengths she goes to avoid #AD. How greedy and fake she has become. Seemingly only befriending people who have some kind of fame in order to further her own wish for recognition.

I've said before here I just don't get why lines and wrinkles are so unattractive and revolting and to be lied about. Even Sali's 'weak dilute' is a humblebrag - ie 'I've got so few lines I hardly need much at all - just the smallest little fairy kiss'. I much prefer French women vloggers (not all of them obvs) as they don't seem to automatically equate getting older AND SHOWING IT = unsexy/unattractive. For all Sali champions the older woman she still slavishly adheres to pretending not to age. It's a miracle!

She is a mega bitch, she preaches about being kind and the power of female friendship, all the while running a clique girl-gang of ‘can’t sit with us’ celebs and groupies.

She goes on about her feminist principles yet betrays women by pretending that she has reached middle age with a completely wrinkle free forehead without surgical intervention (although when pushed she admits to a teeny tiny drop of highly diluted Botox )

I just can’t believe that Sali wasn’t a best friend of Carey’s. She acts like they knew each other for life. I’ve just googled to try to find out how they met. Sali has absolutely used Carey for acres of content. It’s so weird. I think it’s true that they only met through the forum though as she never says how they met in her articles. If they’d met at school/uni/work/etc she’d have said.
I’d be pretty angry if I was someone who had been genuinely close to Carey.

This is what happens when they get "famous": they are only around people who kiss their ass, so they forget what it's like to be challenged or argued with, even very politely. They literally can't handle any kind of confrontation because they live in influencer echo chambers with minions and assistants adoring them at their feet

Even if the covers are similar, it’s unlikely that Sali actually designed her own book cover. Unless she’s now a graphic designer as well as an Author, Broadcaster, Journalist, Beauty “maven” and unqualified dermatologist.
SH column today below heavily filtered picture of her with her shiny enlarged line free forehead and hair covering the Spock eyebrow, is everything wrong with the beauty industry in a blip. Oh and two warnings already from moderators to keep btl posters in fawning mode only.
Funnily enough I've never seen her husband looking smart. Wonder if she minds. Or thinks hey this is so one sided while standing next to him. Her dressed to the nines wearing her feminist necklace, designer dress and painful high heels him over weight scruffy and unshaven yet again. Meow

Her latest IG In Memoriam is for Gloria Vanderbilt.
Sali has ‘always felt she had one of the most astonishingly beautiful faces of all time’
Despite having a long history of praising famous beauties this appears to be the first time Sali has ever mentioned Gloria.
‘Ooh yeah I LOVE that dead sleb’

Lisa is effortlessly cool and at the top of her profession.
Sali hates her.
I’d love the inside dirt on this

Argh there is something about her that irritates me so much. On Twitter now she has read a book. She loves the book (Normal People - Sally Rooney). Anybody that thought it wasn't brilliant is wrong and jealous. Jealous? So you can't have any critical faculty and not like something - you have to be jealous. How mature. Tbf that is probably the level she operates on. Don't like something or disagree? - you must be jealous. 'cough' Lisa Aldridge 'cough'. Oh and of course only she can see the merits of this book - odd, quirky Sali.
And breathe. Thank goodness have here to offload this stuff!

She's definitely got a quizzical eyebrow thing going on. Is this new?
Funny that she would look at people with wrinkles and want to recommend botox to them. I look at people who have had botox and want to recommend ageing naturally to them.
It's only people who have had botox that think you can't tell when someone has had botox.

I’ve remembered another Sali Suspicion that wound me up. Her moral stance on Rodial – “I just think that the way they market their products is offensive to women and I have such a fundamental problem with them. I don't even want to open the jars."
She then goes on to repeatedly praise a Nip & Fab (by Rodial) product. Actually, if you look at the dates, she praised Nip & Fab first, then 20 days later made her Rodial comment. Perhaps something had come to light in those 20 days? Nope, praise for Nip & Fab on at least two other occasions since.

Nip+Fab (by Rodial) is another, though I'd like its occasionally very good products a lot more if their stablemates didn't have such offensive names (Body Slim Fix and No Needle Fix: give me strength).

Hughes seldom offers negative reviews herself, but that doesn't mean she doesn't make judgment calls: "If I don't like it, I ignore it," she says, dismissing an inferior product both effectively and metaphorically. There are exceptions, though. One is Rodial Skin Care's range for menopausal women called Cougar. "I have never reviewed Rodial positively – I just think that the way they market their products is offensive to women and I have such a fundamental problem with them. I don't even want to open the jars."

At night, meanwhile, I use a heftier cleansing balm, and follow that with an acid peel. For this time of year, I like to bring out the big guns, and Nip + Fab Glycolic Fix Extreme Pads (£7.47) are suitably uncompromising and give superb glow (as well as effectively treating breakouts). Expect some tingling, but avoid altogether if sensitive (Nip + Fab also does a regular version that you may find more tolerable).

Nip + Fab Glycolic Fix Daily Cleansing Pads, £6.79, 60 pads, CF
You’ll find no scrubs on this list because I strongly believe exfoliating should be done with face cloths and acid solutions, rather than hard grains. Here, the edge is taken off highly effective glycolic and lactic acids with the addition of humectants like glycerin and hyaluronic acid. While excellent, these pads are not for the highly sensitive.
So to sum up, the products are so offensive to women that she would never dream of even opening a jar. Unless it's effective/a moneyspinner and in thatcase, throw in an affiliate link, and she's all in!

"Writer's retreat"? It was the expensive Viva Mayr clinic in Austria where you have to chew 100 times on a piece of stale bread and have a tube up your bottom to wash it out.
