You'd think so, wouldn't you? It's almost like it's common goddamn sense to have supply meet demand--you know, like the most basic tenet of economics?

I think she's just cheaping out on her products and ordering the minimum in order not to spend money or have any loss. I doubt her company has such high demand that she's running out with a large stock. I doubt she has much to do with it though. Her day seems to consist of primping for photoshop photos all day or sitting in an office telling her assistants to do the work, she doesn't seem to run a business.

Girl posted sushi with the tag #cleaneats. It was made with white rice. I would think with Marlena being so "healthy" she would know that white rice is far from "clean", and I use that term loosely.

Yes, I thought the same thing about the rice from her dinner.

What I don't understand about her is she claims to be very stressed and busy (who isn't) but then why does she do photo shoots on vacation? Why does she post IG pics? Wouldn't it make sense to just truly take a break? Really let go. Leave most of her makeup and hair behind at home, and just kick back in Lake Tahoe? I think she puts a lot of unnecessary pressure on herself and ends up spinning in circles.

Also, yeah--- why is she always sold out?? This is what makes no sense to me. Why wouldn't she have a bigger stock? Do you think it is to appear "successful" like she can't keep things from flying off the shelves? To create some sort of fake popular image? To again copy Mac, how they quickly sell out of their LE items?

I have said it and countless others have, too, but she would feel so much better and others would like her more if she were just honest with everyone. She talks about her weight loss constantly, so it is fair game, but why bumble and stumble around the obvious gains? If she is going to talk about it anyway, just be honest! I would love for her to talk about the heartache of gaining and I think others would, too.

I wonder if Marlena is a hard person to get to know the "real" her in relationships with friends and bfs. She seems like on a superficial level she might be fun to hang out with, if the topics are shallow and surface level. She seems like she would be very guarded and hard to get to know on anything deeper. She keeps her cards very close to her chest. Anyone her age that gets so much facial work clearly is very insecure. She makes me sad! She doesn't need to be so insecure or tormented.

The more and more I think about it, the more that makes sense. It may well be done to create a sort of fake buzz around the products. The thing is, is that if that were the strategy, do they/does she not realize that doing that alienates what could possibly be a large consumer base? People will get tired of never being able to buy from the line and go elsewhere--I speak from experience.

I think we all know people like this. This is all part of her persona of being so "image driven". I think we all have "those" people who are so worried about putting forth the perfect life, that they spend their entire vacation posting pictures. When we are on vacation, I rarely post because I am too busy having fun with my family. I (and I would think most) don't have that need to prove anything. I also don't like posting because I don't need everyone and their brother knowing I am not home, I am just paranoid like that.

New to this board, but I was wondering about the face work you guys are talking about. Do you guys have any before or after pics. I don't watch her videos and have only seen a couple.

If she had lap band surgery like Kirsten Ghem then her breath has to stink to high hell and same when she goes to the bathroom. Or at least that is what I learned from Kirsten's board.

Why would the bad smell thing happen because of that surgery?

Have you guys seen what she looked like at PHAMExpo? I was looking at some of the pictures on the #makeupgeek and #makeupgeektv instagram hashtags, and I was so surprised at how different she looked. Also, what the heck is she wearing? :?

Some examples:

LOL I didn't even notice. I was so distracted by whatever she was wearing.

That second picture was eye opening. Marlena is a bigger "curvier girl" than I thought. She is even big next to what looks to be another "curvy girl". She needs to stop putting her weight out there and the judging will be much less. I myself would LOVE to lose 13lbs and if I did,I would drop 1 clothing size. I am Marlena's height I think (5'6"), 25Lbs on me would be 2 dress sizes; no way on this earth is Marlena only 2 sizes away from where she was at her smallest. I suspect her smallest was the time she posted her tummy tuck update video. No way would she ever pull her shirt up these days to show us her "flat stomach".

The reason she would smell is because of something called dumping. I guess it is a consequence of having the surgery and apparently it's more smelly if you aren't eating healthy.

Sorry to double post but....

Holy hell there is no way she is as small as she says. I can honestly say she looks like a size 20. Which means she has to be over 200lbs. I am the same height as her and when i was pregnant I got up to around 190(I gained a lot) and I was waayyy smaller that how she looks in those pictures.

OMG What is going on in the third link? Are her body proportions screwed up because of the surgery she had? She's a size 20 on the bottom at least, maybe a 22.
Just because I don't care doesn't mean I don't understand.

Oh my, she's gained a lot of her weight back! :?

I wonder if she has thyroid problems. Also, it must be really frustrating to have spent all that money in surgery only to gain back a huge chunk of weight.

:?

I thought you guys were just exaggerating Marlena's weight gain (even though we all know she's gotten chubbier) but when I clicked on the links to the recent pictures I was literally in shock! she's gotten f**ken enormous. She's like 230 freaking pounds! she will gain it all back within months (original weight was 290 according to miss lardass).

So I went back to watch the video I referenced above and wow, I was wrong and need to correct myself. In this video Marlena looks so much better and according to her she is at the same weight here as she is today. No freaking way! Just look at her, her body is entirely different. A body the same weight does not change like that in 2 years. Even at the beginning of this video she explains how she has lost almost 100LBS, and as of her last vlog she went on how she lost 125LBS and has gained about 25LBS back. This girl is sad and completely delusional.
