I think she's including the sample sized products as their full sized pricing. Hardly fair.

Well to be fair many brands do this when they are doing promotions - eg "free gift worth €x when you buy Y". But it refers to full size price when you only get a sample size.

If you see that happening you should report it because it's false advertising and not the norm.

I actually am shocked at all the people who defend her on facebook. They all clearly have too much money if they can fork out €70 before even seeing 1 product.
Also, all the "she's clearly put a lot of thought into it". Well no she hasn't, anyone who has followed her for ages will see these are products she pushes on her snapchat pretty regularly (with her discount codes) so how much thought exactly went into them? She's worked with Meaghers for well over 18 months and knows their stock really well and advertises them any chance she gets. I'm not saying it won't turn out to be a good deal but the ones who bought it without knowing what's in it need to reassess their lives really, that they'll buy something because a blogger promised them it was great.
They're the same ones who say "oh my kids recognise your voice, and they know Sienna", do you really not think that's odd, also her child has zero privacy which is inherently wrong.
Apart from her claims of anxiety, how exactly is Grace "an inspiration", what has she overcome or done to earn that title? I don't see one thing inspiring or aspiring about her. Even her charity "work" (and I use that term very, very loosely) has been self serving, even using her followers to raise money while taking payment for the Great Irish Run (and doing eff all training for it).
Grace's business practices are sketchy at best, from her pushing bfeeding yet working with Cow and Gate, the pushing skinny tea to vulnerable mums even though she couldn't take it herself, to the hinting for freebies, to the €60 workshop where you got a crappy Meagher's freebie bag and had to use your own products, to the personal training/nail/hair ads that she never says are free. Anyone who thinks she's their mate or isn't in it for the fast easy money, is a fool.

Exactly! I can’t believe the number of fawns these girls have. Are we really so inept that we need to be “ influenced” ugh!

Well 2 out of the 3 showed last night were full size. I believe 8 or 9 of the 17 are supposed to be full sized so time will tell, the box doesn't look that big.
Not sure if she is counting the sample as full price, I would hope not as that's not cool.

I added her last night (and promptly removed) to get an idea of what ye were saying here (the brown couch!)
That showing of the box was terribly annoying with the child pawing at it. Maybe this is what the diehard followers want?
Anyway she must have scheduled times to go through it because an hour later Meaghers cone up on my fb as a suggested post and it’s showing the same 3, but she’s dressed up and it’s professiobal looking. I wonder why she doesn’t just upload that.

I assume those samples are free stock Meaghers asked for in return for some exposure, so the box is probably costung them no more than 20 quid and she’s telling people it’s worth 180? Sick.

It does sound as if the products are being provided by the brands and not by Meaghers, or they are at least getting them at a discount as she mentioned “working with” the brands and whether or not it’s be “feasible” to include them (ie are you giving us it for free or at a knocked down price). It’s likely costing Meaghers damn all. She’s a bit unbelievable. Like how does she call herself a blogger? She has no content except Sienna and ads (and the brown couch). It’s bizarre that brands are interested in that to represent them. I guess they don’t care as long as they make sales but I’d never buy anything think she’s flogging. I just don’t find her opinion trustworthy. She’s been caught out so many times.

princess3901

I don’t follow FBG, I followed her for a few days a while back and just couldn’t be bothered with her. I was on the gals who snap page there and the amount of FBG worshippers is unreal, anyone that had an opinion other than how fantastic the box was, we’re pounced on.
What is wrong with these supposedly grown up women. It’s mad how they hang onto every word these bloggers say.

LEAVE GRACE ALOOOONE!!

She's beautiful, inside and out and I'm thrilled I found her to follow on Snapchat.

Going to give her a follow when I'm hone, I was just having a wee stalk on insta and she is fab!

So nice to see someone have things go well for them when they've suffered through so much.

I see MUFs troops still giving Paul a hard time with accusations about his sexuality. He's dealing with it in a pretty decent way I think. If she had any backbone she'd kindly thank her followers for their support but maybe tell them there is no need for them to be contacting "that person " as she refers to him and to let their break up be between them. I get the impression that she is enjoying him getting so much grief from people. She's not displaying many good qualities coming out of this relationship.

Not when you look at things like the area and the public transport service.
It's over an hour and a half journey to central London with multiple changes on the tube... It's not a commuter area which accounts for how cheap it is.

He's actually hilarious!!!! What did she do to him that he was so boring and uninteresting before and now he's so funny...
I really enjoy his snaps these days.

She is similar to a robot sometimes I think...the way she talks. Just monotone! Maybe that had rubbed off on Paul!

That's a fab apartment and a really good price for a 2 bed in London.

Sorry I said snaps but I meant instagram videos. He is bodybycontrol.

I’ve been following Paul on instagram, gotta say he comes across really well, he’s funny, doesn’t mind poking fun at himself and having a laugh at the haters. Along with that I find his fitness talks quite informative.

You're on a flight path for London City Airport. No thanks.

It is a nice property but not a great location if you're work is in Central London. 45 mins and 3 changes on DRL/Tube or 1hr 40 on a bus. Thats presuming things are running on time and no disruption.

I'm appalled to read what that lady witnessed in regards to Rosie Connollys behaviour over her step child. It's broadcast on Gals who snap by a lady in Stephanie's house having her makeup done in Feb when her child's dad brought the child back to Stephanie very upset saying Rosie didn't want the child in her house.

She's an absolute disgrace

It’s been so obvious from the start she wanted nothing to do with the child the things she used to say about him on Snapchat when he was a baby .. any man that drops his kid for a woman is a waste of space ,, this will be her downfall now her followers are women and a lot have kids no mother would have any respect for Rosie and her spiteful behavior towards Reuben

Does anyone know what happened with Sinead (sinead’s curvy style) ? Seems someone wrote or said something about her and angles or something. She’s deleted the snaps now where she she showed it. She seems very upset. Seemed to be something about her size or something. I think she always looks great, she’s very pretty and carries herself well.

Mnc0814

I remember when Rosie used to have the step son up on her Snapchat and instagram and she definitely didn't call him reuben, she called him Jacob. Who was the little baby who died... am I the only person who remembers this? Bloody weirdo

Yes I was wondering about this also. She is very attractive and does carry herself well. However she does look smaller in her own posts than she does in real life or in the posts of brands she may model for. I noticed it but never bothered me, maybe this is it?

I wish I knew how to do that same!! She’s very open about her weight and size so it’s hard to know how anyone would have anything to say about it. I definitely don’t get the impression that she alters her pics so fair play to her for knowing her angles if that’s what it is.

I didn’t see any comment made about her weight. But I seen comments mention possible lack of transparency regarding sp/ad

cee_jay

I don't think there was any comment about her weight. It was a long series of snaps about her understanding on the difference between #ad and #sp because someone asked her if a snap was advertising. She said if she gets paid she will put #ad on, and if she gets something for free it will be #sp apparently. But then one of her major blogger friends told her it was wrong and #sp only had to be used if she was paid also.
I don't know why it would be upsetting?

I got the impression there was definitely something mentioned about her size but she has deleted those snaps.

Used to love Sinead Curvy Style and will continue to watch her as she is great to follow from a Limerick perspective. She's by far my favourite snapchatter.

However, I have lost a bit of respect for her over the whole #sp #ad thing. She clearly is a very bright and intelligent person. The way she keep on talking about how confusing all the blogger ad stuff is discrediting her. I'm not a blogger and I understand it, its not that difficult to understand. People like her because she is real and honest and her saying that she is so confused by something, that is easy enough to comprehend, makes me feel she is trying to hide something.

She will probably read this and get upset, and that is also ridiculous as no one is saying anything bad. She is clearly a lovely, beautiful person inside and out. That she is getting so easily upset over anonymous people on the inrernet is very over the top. She obviously had a stresstful week and it all got on top of her but defintely needs to grow a thicker skin for the career path she's chosen.

I had noticed recently that she was using #sp for salon visit and I thought it unlikely that she was actually getting paid to go in for treatments. I do think she was confused about the difference between sp and ad and in effect she was declaring things as paid for posts when they actually were just freebies. She was over declaring stuff instead of under. Of course she should totally be making herself aware of the difference it didn’t look intentional to me as she was making things look like ads that weren’t actually ads.

I do think there was more said than the sp/ad comments though and it was the personal stuff she was upset about. She mentioned Simon saying the only angle he cared about was her smile, which seemed to be in retort to a comment made. There was also something about her singing giving people a headache.

I like her fashion posts but tbh I always tap through the salon visits and the treatments, I find she posts a lot of that type of thing. Overall I find her likable and good craic though.

Finally downloaded the reddit app and it makes it much easier to use! I won’t be missing the juicy posts in future now that I can find my way around the thread there!

I’m just going off she said in her follow up snaps. She had deleted the ones spelling out exactly what was said at that stage. She’s actually deleted more now than when I watched last night. She definitely commented last night on looking like she weighs a tonne or ten tonne or something to that effect and about good angles so that leads me to believe there was more said than sp/ad related stuff.

Maybe it wasn’t posted to a thread, maybe it was. Maybe it was a dm. As I said, I’m just going off her snaps last night. There’s definitely posts deleted from the reddit thread on the topic so maybe they were the ones.

qo2cj1dsne8y4k

I read someone saying she alters her photos and doesn't look like how she looks in real life and knows her angles, another poster followed that up saying to be fair she never is misleading about her dress size and the OP clarified it wasn't anything about her weight it was about the work that's done on the pics and commented it wasn't as much as the makeup fairy but was still significant

Ah OK fair enough maybe they were deleted before I read them.

They must be the ones then. I’ve never seen her in real life and I’m clueless about how to edit pics to look trimmer so it’s not something I’ve noticed. Are there some kind of telltale signs? Like the wavy lines on photoshopped pics? I wouldn’t have any issue if it’s just posting pics from your best angle, I’m sure most of us try to do that.

qo2cj1dsne8y4k

I don't follow sinead so I'm not talking about her but generally you can tell when you know them to see off their own platform then see someone else's pic of them and they're unrecognisable.

I think you can tell if they'be photoshopped themselves if the background is distorted or if they've gone to town on it and have edited too much that they leave themselves with a weird looking arm or something

theoldbreed

She posted something tonight with two dresses from Carrig Donn and said at the end Ps this is my best angle so something was definitely said. Some followers wrote stuff about ignore the haters etc so not sure what happened

ibarelycare

This is kinda sad but during the week I set up a second Snapchat account from my iPad so I could look at FBG's snaps to see if what you were all saying was true! I was blocked on my normal account about 6/7 months ago for messaging her and saying it would be nice to see some actual makeup content. So yeah...red tartan pyjamas, a brown couch, a bored baby on a kitchen floor. That's about it. She seems really fed up and bored trying to deal with Sienna at this age. All I could think of is that my Mam would be giving me a serious kick up the hole if that was me living in her house and doing nothing all day!

theoldbreed

I don't follow Grace but just from reading about her on here does anyone else think she may be in such a rut she can't get out of it? That she isn't coping very well with being a mother etc sounds to me she may be a little depressed. I feel sorry for her.

Same. I stopped following her at the start of last year. But from what I've read of her online, I think she does need someone to give her a good talking to, not in a cross way but in a supportive way. She needs to be told to pull her socks up, get out and about and to start living life. She doesn't appear to be doing very much at all. I know that having a child is hard, it really is one of the hardest things you can do in your life IMO, but I also think you need to have a certain amount of structure, discipline and motivation in your days so get the most from them.
