    No never bought, never tempted. Personally I find the best products don't need much advertising, especially not on TV. I think the best form of advertsing is word of mouth. I've discovered most of the best products this way. I also am a very ethical/environmentally aware consumer and am buying more products that are good for me and the environment AND the people that make them (fair trade).

    I find that there's a lot of beatuy products and treatments advertised in the "wee hours" along with phone dating, ring-tone ads and other dodgy deals... hmmm... to me that kinda says something don't you think?
    Just my thoughts... I'm sure there are people out there who have purchased tv advertised products otherwise they wouldn't bother making the ads would they? Although snake oil charmers have been around for centuries too LOL

    It was really interesting reading all your replies, thanks for that

    I have to say that I'm actually over all the advertisements on t.v, unfortunately, I have to admit that I have found ebay lol. DH is fine with that though, as he knows I'm very good when it comes to money and our finances, I don't spend money we don't have. But it can get very addictive others have said.

    I have purchased mineral makeup off ebay, so I don't think about sheer cover anymore, yay! And the good thing is that my credit card isn't getting charged each month.


    Bathsheba - Yes, you have made good points there especially about the other commercials and cr@p on at the same time. It just makes you realise who there targeting doesn't it. And now there on at 3pm throughout the week hmmmm!
