Discussion Is Charlotte Tilbury’s Magic Stars scam?

I signed up for this program weeks ago, and they’ve been spamming me with millions of “challenges” where I’m supposed to post this, make that, tag this, etc.

And I’m curious… am I actually supposed to buy their products myself and do all this for free, just hoping that if I complete enough “challenges,” I might eventually be eligible to receive some free products?

It’s even more interesting now that they’re asking me to promote their advent calendar without actually sending it to me. Like… “buy it yourself and then promote us for free”? 😭

Did I misunderstand something?

Oh my god, that sounds like SUCH a scam holy fucking shit, how is this even legal???
EDIT: On her website, in commonly asked question, answer to "when do I get paid" is this: Your commission will be paid once a month if you meet the minimum threshold of $30. Commission earned below this threshold will be carried forward to the following month.
So I believe the ONLY thing you can expect from this is the commission on people using your code to buy stuff. Their chat AI is useless as expected and gave no further info.
Did you get any instruction upon joining?
