She was pipped to the post by trinny and Sali hughes. That threw her. The launch into a fully saturated market was very tentativeThe whole thing around the so-called 'launch' of her own skincare line has been quite pathetic really. From the fact she only launched 2 products - 1 really, just in different strengths, to no logo on the bottle. I really can't understand why she didn't start with a cleanser (or maybe two - a balm and a cream) and a moisturiser. These would (or should) have been among the more affordable products and a selling point could have been the change of season.
Hirons herself seemed (from the little I could bear to watch) less enthusiastic than might have been expected. I wonder whether she regretted the whole venture and wished she could have backed out, but was too financially committed to be able to do so
Anyone who still has access to the Freaks, is there much celebration of the products? I mean apart from the likes of Pinksmith and similarly insane people?
the hot flushes were every 10 minutes and I'd be dripping in sweat, it was grim. I feel for her, but this is something she needs to be asking her gynaecologist/GP about because they can prescribe things to mitigate the side effects of a medical menopause if necessary. I'm surprised so many of the x-factor style posts get through.
A few years ago, I was asked if I had ID in Sainsburys. I said “no, I’m 38” and she looked at me and replied “oh yeah, now that I look again. Yeah.”
And the profile pic of that woman; even less likely.

Sometimes people just take a glance, sometimes its clothes you’re wearing, sometimes the kid in the cinema is following rules to the letter, but no-one believes a 42 year old is 17
It happens so often though doesn't it? The freaks bless their hearts think it's their 27 step skincare routine making them appear 20 years younger than they are... but it's just a quick question some cashiers will ask half the people they glance at. I got asked for ID a couple of years ago (doing a v standard weekly shop which included a bottle of something slightly random like sherry for a recipe I was making). I showed her my ID, but because my almost-40 year old husband didn't have his with him she refused to let me buy the fecking sherry 
loool, gave me a right stern warning that she couldn't incase I was buying it for him and he was underage.
Brilliant compilation!
why buy a £75 or so retinol when you can have a huge discount on a fabulous, tried and tested Medik8 one instead?
There ya go. I used to use Medik8 before I got a £20 a month dermatica prescription. There's no point in me buying Medik8 any more, or Scamaline's retinols, because I'm now using tret, The Big Daddy of retinols. A good chunk of the Freaks are probably using Dermatica or Skin and Me because she's been constantly pushing it so... where exactly do her products fit in?
I think them calling it a serum says it all really. Anyone who knows what they're doing even vaguely with retinol is, at best, only going to try it when they actually need a new one. People who don't, who say things like "I need a serum" or "I need a toner" and can't manage to grasp the concept that these are umbrella names for products that do specific things are going to be getting it and slathering it on and wondering why they have red cheeks.
