Beauty Products on TV......DO you think about buying them?

[casscart]

I am always thinking about purchasing those beauty products advertised on TV. The items I really want to try out are Pro avtive, youthful essence sponge product and Sheer Cover. I have researched them all on the web, and you get mixed reviews on them all.

i have read a little about Pro avtive here on Belly. I think I would have already ordered all these products if it wasn't for their contract where they send more and charge you until you personally cancel it. And from what I have read on the web about other customers having dramas after canceling with these companies, sounds like it can be a big fat headache.

My DH thinks I'm just a sucker for advertisement, maybe I am, but they make you think if you use their products it will make you look so gorgeous

If anyone knows anything about these items or have anything good or bad to say about them please tell me before I think about spending money on cr@p

I can't be the only one out there?.....Or maybe I am LOL

Must admit I have been tempted by Sheer Cover. Like you, I don't like the automotic orders unless you cancel.

Lol you are not the only one. The only thing that stops me is the thought of the look on dh's face when the credit card bill comes in

lol - you cant be the only one, otherwise the wouldnt keep advertising them!

I have never purchased seen on tv beauty products, but occaisionally think - "oh, thats a good deal".

I did purchase an exercise step once off telly. It was not a bad product but I didnt use it much. If i had not been tempted by tv, I doubt I would have gotten round to going to the shop to buy one, so could have saved myself a few hundy bucks! (I told a friend at the time that Id got it off tv and she said "SUCKER!!")

I can only think of one friend (who has admitted to buying off tv - there seems to be some stigma, yet ppl will happily go buy a laundry powder or barbie toy etc that they see on the regular adds). My friend brought a large knife set - she was very excited about its quality, but I never heard long term if they worked out as a good purchase choice or not.

My parents in the UK brought a yogart maker off tv and love it - and its just the same kind that u can get in the shops here, but not availble in shops there - maybe some of these american beauty products are the same, standard shops sell them in the US, but their marketing approach here is on tv?

Hello ladies,

Yes I've been tempted but not actually bought. I've found that some people are selling the products on ebay and it's just a once off if you want to try it. But i'm not sure if that voids it's money back etc guarantee...

I do this sheer cover looks good. I bought Loreal mineral foundation powder instead and it seems great so far. Good coverage for my spots and redness but Avon also have one out now too.

HTH,

Ruth

I'm the same, that Sheer Cover looks great. I also don't like the automatic orders. I'm also using Pro Activ at the moment to see if it works for me but I just keep pushing out the automatic order (you don't have to use that much).

Damn those infomercials!!
