If Someone Claims to be a Beauty Expert

No idea who or what you are referring to but hm, Merry Christams to you? Tis the season...

Some beauty experts point out flaws to sell their products or ideas. For example a vendor selling self-tanning lotion will talk about people looking like a ghost or pasty white and saying one will look younger, thinner, or healthier using a self-tanner.

Is it okay for a beauty expert or vendor to make negative comments to promote their product or ideas but not okay to comment on their appearance?

Another way to look at this is one would expect an interior decorator to have a beautiful home, not one that is dirty, unorganized with bare walls and no decorations.

This is in regards to a poofed thread by our kinder, gentler web monitor. More power to them. Its kind of like the difference between The Voice and the old American Idol. Mean isn't funny.

Firts this is all subjective. What some would call dreadful looking many others would say is a great look!! When someone is selling a product they just use general statements which are not targeting any one specific person!! That is the difference. I agree with Irish1210 when she states ""This sounds like someone trying to justify being mean spirited to another ~~ "".

Exactly!

Maybe they like their hair. Or maybe, just maybe, some other people like that hair style. Oh my, that might be a shocker! Imagine someone liking what someone else doesn't!

I figured as much. But mysterious threads like this, where people dance around the real issue and what was said, always seem nonsensical to someone like me who didn't read the original.
