Ali Y “Qualified beauty expert”

[Deleted member 22840]

I have never understood why this “qualified beauty expert” is still on QVC.
She is the rudest, most condescending person, in my opinion.

 

[candycane]

I think she is a qualified beautician. Expert might be questionable. Alison has a way about her that she probably thinks is amusing but I'm not so sure. I think she makes a bit of money on her QVC role but I personally take what she says with a pinch of salt. She trips herself up over the brands so many times.

Totally. Having experienced 'in the industry' I spot it all the time & think 'how is she getting away with this' ?

She did her original training a long long time ago (when toner was called astringent) Beauty has totally changed now. I think she's updated her knowledge but I spot the faux pas frequently.

 

[Grizelda]

Maybe she thinks her humour is 'dry,' but for me, she comes off as rude, bossy and 'know it all.'

Totally agree with you

 

[Ballerina]

I agree with you too. She can be quite rude to Will and makes certain he knows he is the lackey, at least she comes across that way to me. We have someone at work like that, she thinks she is a bloomin' consultant, dream on! She is also rude to patients visitors and has reduced some to tears, not cool.

It drives me nuts when she says “I, myself, your resident beauty expert” at the start of each show she presents. ”I, myself” sounds grammatically odd to me, but hey ho.

Just seen her show with Margaret Dabbs, she keeps saying “It’s great we have Mgt here tonight, well I wish she would let Mgt talk. All she does is butt in when Mgt talks

According to her book, she's an "Internationally renowned, qualified beauty expert with years of industry experience and she's treated A-listers and royalty"!

Just comes across as rude,pushy,and ignorant.
But not the only one in this category let’s guess the others

She put me off her self years ago. She said a Liz Earle shower gel was a huge quarter of a litre at 200ml. I personally don't consider 200ml huge for a shower gel and certainly not a quarter of a litre.

AY bumbled over Philosophy with their huge all purpose gloop for body hands hair washing. I know lots like it but personally it feels very yukky sticky to me and she's got the size of that all wrong as she's using American measurements. Even after many had corrected Q, AY went on making the same wrong inflated claims.

I find AY smarmy. I like MDabbs stuff and it has changed my foot care (don't like or rate hand stuff at all as it dries my hands), I've spoken to three different NHS podiatrists and a muscle skeletal foot person. Not one of them had heard of MDabbs, therefore I don't get it that it is a world known brand. Yes there are international salons but very carefully chosen locations. The foot file is great for my feet and certainly helped me but the reviews are sometimes less flattering than you'd expect from the glowing worshiping that Q gives MDabbs.

 

[Ballerina]

I like the M Dabbs foot file and have used it for I gyess around 5 years. Never had one as good before and will stick with it as the replacement pads are easily available but the products are just meh to me. I prefer the L'Occitane foot cream and I've used it for years. If it 'aint broke, don't fix it. Same with habd cream but I have not tried Margaret's hand products.

I love & ooze dry humour, but one has to be careful, as it's very easily misunderstood. It's a risk to use it in her role, but it seems (she feels) she's untouchable.

One can only get away with being a knowall, if one is, indeed, a know all. I don't think she is, never mind 'industry this, industry that' Someone who mixes vats of factory face gloop could be 'in the industry'

Bossy is her schtick

She used to bang on years back how she gave Princess Diana a facial at Ragdale Hall. She worked there.

Margaret Dabbs hand care goes matt on contact which I suppose make's it easier to do whatever you have to do but I like something to feel comforting. The handwash smells gorgeous but again has that drying feel to it.
