‘Darling’.
Why does she/her marketing team talk to the rest of us like we’re imbeciles.

It’s everywhere! On her website/FB/Instagram

Is it just me?

I agree completely! Just listened to a radio ad for CT this morning & found it so irritating.

It completely puts me off the brand (which I think is over-priced anyway, compared to other similar brands

Bootikin · 14/08/2021 11:10

Why look at her website / FB / Instagram then? Just avoid totally.

RogueV · 14/08/2021 11:10

Hmm I must say I am tempted with her Mystery box! Or is it like you say overpriced crap?

No, it's awful! I had to unsubscribe from her emails as I got the rage every time I received one. So annoying!

Auxiliary016 · 14/08/2021 11:14

What about the advert song:

"Pillow talk, pillow talk. Pillow talk pillow talk!"

Infuriating!

melonhead · 14/08/2021 11:14

I tried a load of her stuff as I thought it was great at first, but the mascara made my lashes break off and the pillow talk lipstick make me look old and cold.

EarringsandLipstick · 14/08/2021 11:22

My SIL loves her stuff, I don't rate it. I don't really buy it as so 💶💶💶 but have some as presents & haven't liked eg her nude lipstick, didn't line colour or texture. The CT sales assistants are so pushy as well

If I'm splashing out, I'm much happier to pay for Nars or Mac products, which I think are worth it.

PixiKitKat · 14/08/2021 11:26

I find that annoying too and the adverts have awful music but I love the make up, the foundation works really well for my skin and I love the lipsticks and eyeliners.

DukeOfEarlGrey · 14/08/2021 11:27

‘Darlings’ plural 🙄

RavenclawsRoar · 14/08/2021 11:32

The adverts are annoying but I really like CT. I love their lipsticks (I must be the exact right shade for Pillow Talk as it really suits me) and I also like their skincare. I would be tempted by their mystery box but I can't afford it sadly.

Ninkanink · 14/08/2021 11:36

It’s gives me the absolute rage, to such a degree that I will never buy anything from CT. I find it so false, and hugely insulting to my intelligence.

FlyingRabbitsAtNoon · 14/08/2021 11:50

I really like the makeup. I didn’t realise that a new mystery box has been announced so now I’m seriously tempted (I’ve had three in the past - two were great the other was very meh).

But the darlings shit is annoying!

Poonmig · 14/08/2021 11:52

I just received the mystery box yesterday - I was really pleased with it

Viviennemary · 14/08/2021 11:53

I agree its daft. I have bought a charlotte Tilbury lipstick and blusher. Read about them on MN I like them and it wouldn't put me off.

MonkeyPuddle · 14/08/2021 11:54

I signed up for a discount code but had to unsubscribe as I found it annoying as well.
It’s just so false.

Bluntness100 · 14/08/2021 11:56

Yes, coincidentally I ordered some make up this morning and was sitting thinking how annoying it was.

Stevie6 · 14/08/2021 11:57

There was a clothes shop, can't remember which one, but they used to email saying "hey babe!!" - do fuck off, unsubscribed pronto

Beketaten · 14/08/2021 11:57

@Poonmig what did you get in your box? Are they discontinued items or current stock?

FlyingRabbitsAtNoon · 14/08/2021 12:01

@Poonmig

What’s in the box? I’m really tempted but I have a feeling I’m going to end up with duplicates.
PickleAF · 14/08/2021 12:06

I absolutely adore CT but also hate the "darlings" advertising Grin I just ignore it! My makeup is 90% CT and I just think it gives such a perfect glowy look that I haven't been able to replicate with other brands. Am also tempted by the mystery box but think I'd just end up with double of items I already have!

NoIDontWatchLoveIsland · 14/08/2021 12:09

Yanbu!

Generally I find CT makeup is so all about the "brand" & marketing strategy, limited releases to try and create sense of desirability etc. Everything I have had from there has been average quality at high prices.

FredaFox · 14/08/2021 12:10

I bought an eyeshadow pallet one Christmas as kept seeing it on tv and magazines, i was so disappointed with it
I'll never buy anything again
I think it's all hype

I don't mind spending money on high end things as a treat but CT is just not worth it.

LivingLaVidaBabyShower · 14/08/2021 12:10

The mystery box i bought was pure shit.
I bought it to cheer me up during lockdown
I got a oramge lipstock called stoned rose.
The miracle cream was fiiiine but overall it was crap

NoIDontWatchLoveIsland · 14/08/2021 12:10
