I met CH at a SpaceNK event a few years back.
Okay, I was invited and went for the free organic champagne. Yes, free bubbles and I am there. Dior was the best one in House of Fraser, they did Moët.
Anyway, CH did a talk about Clean beauty, which strangely she said on her Facebook page was not a real thing as nothing is really clean in beauty. Seemed very friendly and at the end of the evening when the crowds had died down I decide I suppose I should actually go and ask stuff. I told her what my problems with skin care and what I used. She just told me to keep doing what I was as it was working.
Now, chatting as I do, people who work from brands etc, hey chat be friendly, and you get freebies. I have heard things over time about CH, she has the power now to break or kill brands coming into the UK. Yes, she is that powerful. Demands very large sums to push a brand, and if a brand says no and her followers ask about this new brand? She can say no, that brand is not really great. What I noticed on Facebook she sells her beauty bags costing £200+ some are cheaper now, and a brand she is not pushing suddenly a product from that brand will appear in one of her bags. Now, her follows on Facebook will and do recommend to others asking brands she is not in with, and they can suddenly appear in one of the beauty bags.
Yes, she did appear on QVC with Pixi as the brand was doing a big push into the UK market. They had been around for a while low-key but once Caroline got involved it blew up now in Boots etc and widely available. The BA she came on QVC with was a personal friend who worked for Pixi.
