HAHA!! One of my friends on facebook put up the pic of the guy holding the Shamwow! with the caption, "Soaks up hooker blood!!" It totally fits! That guy looks like a creep!

QVC- Sterling silver cuff bracelette- turned my arm black. Yes, it was labled Sterling- sent it back Not crazy about Bare Minerals, because of the price. Everyday minerals is just as good and lots cheaper.

This is getting way off topic (make-up) but.................................. What was that wax thing for removing hair? I ordered it and my ex got a perverse pleasure trying to master its use on the delicate areas. It went in the trash. Bags (green for fruit; brown for bread). I just had to try these from Walgreens. Total waste of 20 bucks. Orange cleaner or anything else Billy Mays sells. Thumbs down. EZ Combs (2 hair combs with crystals - butterfly style) I tried a set of these in a mall kiosk and loved them but didn't want to pay $20 for one set. Went to Walgreens and saw "as seen on tv" for $10. Still can't figure out how to securely install them. Knife sharpener from the home show. Why is it only the pitchman can make it work? Various mops/brooms also from the home show. The don't work if they stay in the closet. Water magnets from the farm show. These are fake chamois in assorted sizes. I bought them years and years ago and still use them. For a while I never bought a bag of paper towels. How about from QVC??? They had some face tightener. Got sent back. Weed puller. Got sent back. Garden Grabber Rake. It's green and it scoops up the leaves with a pull of a lever in the handle. Works beautifully and totally worth the money if you have lots of leaves and other yard debris. You don't have to bend over and it picks up way more than with your hands or other rake. Bare Minerals - love.

Oh - also, because the bags make the produce release moisture, your fruits and veggies dry out quickly.

Petra 2009-05-26T18:53:18Z Petra http://dancemakeup.tribe.net/thread/9ae1857f-3e4a-4707-9f05-550f2e2801de#9ba87838-4fad-4595-89f3-5909c86bbc1f 2009-05-26T18:52:00Z 2009-05-26T18:52:00Z

I tried the green bags when I saw them at my local Walgreens. They are HORRIBLE. I ended up throwing them away. You see, there is a "trick" to using them - you have to remove your produce from the bags twice per day and dry them thoroughly, as well as dry the inside of the bag thoroughly. The bags make the produce "sweat," which actually accellerates the rotting. I didn't read the instructions before I used the bags (I thought, "How hard is it to use a freaking BAG?") And my new, fresh produce was completely rotten and unuseable in TWO DAYS. No kidding. The instructions tell you that in order for the bags to work you have to basically babysit them all day, constantly removing the condensation which collects inside the bags. I think they're useless.

slightly OT...but, what about those green bags that are supposed to keep fresh produce fresh longer? Anyone tried them?

My husband and I always laugh when we see the snuggie commercial...because when I was growing up, that was the word my friends and family used for "wedgie." So it kind of puts an amusing picture in my head..."Hey everybody, get the snuggie!"

Armania 2009-05-26T17:19:37Z Dany http://dancemakeup.tribe.net/thread/9ae1857f-3e4a-4707-9f05-550f2e2801de#b119819b-b228-4f4d-9ec7-5201a8d8beba 2009-05-26T00:57:14Z 2009-05-26T00:57:14Z

I am definitely a fan of the bumpits! I just *had* to have them after seeing them on the commercials! I have such fine, thin hair that I couldn't do anything with... the bumpits are easy, and cute!

I found the snuggie at my local grocery store and i just couldn't pass it up, I'd been hinting it would be a cute X-mas present, but nobody got the hint, so I bought it myself. Since it was at my local grocery store it was only one snuggie and the reading light, not the 2 you get on the infomercial. Overall it was disappointing, I really like the idea, but the fabric was much cheaper and thinner that I thought it would be, not enough to keep me warm without another blanket.

Has anybody seen the info-mercial for "Flirty Girl Fitness" ? Any for all of you who haven't.... no, I'm not making this up... O_o

I got one of those home-electrolysis kits that supposedly works with radiowaves for permanent hair removal. Does. Not. Work.

eek! I think I'm the only person in the world that dislikes Bare Minerals. It irritates and makes me peel :( but it's such a cool product!! I haven't seen ads for the "split ender" recently....lol That's another one I was curious about.

Yeah, I'm wondering if anyone's tried the "bumpit." That thing looks awesome! I tried Proactiv too, and ended up using it for almost 4 years...then one day it just stopped working. My acne got so bad I had to go to a dermatologist, and I'm on accutane now...

Armania 2009-05-21T14:30:34Z Tehani http://dancemakeup.tribe.net/thread/9ae1857f-3e4a-4707-9f05-550f2e2801de#78d0213f-1869-433e-b126-758bf12af07a 2009-05-21T03:18:01Z 2009-05-21T03:18:01Z

My mom and I got hooked on the firm too....a few years back....now that I'm dancing so much though...it's kinda not my priority for what DVD to put on....belly dance or the firm.....hmmm though choice.

I also got sucked into Bare Minerals 4 or 5 years ago and have never looked back. I have very sensitive, dry skin and everything I tried made me either break out or I'd get large patches of exzema. I saw the infomercial while I was in San Antonio visiting family and figures I'd try it. My mother, sister-in-law and several friends are now hooked thanks to how great my skin looks.

Mischief 2009-05-21T02:46:43Z Jessica http://dancemakeup.tribe.net/thread/9ae1857f-3e4a-4707-9f05-550f2e2801de#8f0d4945-7bd4-49bc-b538-2e6a3ce434c1 2009-05-20T18:04:17Z 2009-05-20T18:04:17Z

I use Proactive. I had beautiful skin all through high school and then I went to college and I got horrible acne! We're talking white heads, black heads, cystic (majorly!) plus I'm a picker and for some reason everything was so slow to heal. I tried everything I could get my hands on in the stores, in the hippie health foods stores (black drawing salve smells horrible all over your face plus it itches!) nothing really worked well. My family were always telling me "you should try that Proactive stuff" but it was kinda outa my price range for something I was sure wouldn't work simply because it was on an infomercial. But my mom offered to pay for it, so I thought I'd give it a go and lo and behold with in a week my face looked clearer, and two weeks later I only had one or two spots that were still healing and everything else was really clear. I eventually switched to their extra strength formula and can report no major breakouts. There are somethings that I don't like about it but until I find something that takes care of my acne just as well as the Proactive, and clears up my other issues I'm gonna stick with my good ole infomercial face system. I also have gotten a The Firm system which just made my butt and thighs bigger even though that's what they *promised* it wouldn't do. So it's kinda hit or miss, I do get sucked into infomercials but I think it's because I like to flex my " willing suspension of disbelief" muscle. Now I want to find a baby that I can test YOUR BABY CAN READ! on. ;-)) lol You are not the only one. Take comfort.

My sister uses Bare Minerals because a friend of hers gets a discount but she tried mine which is Everyday Minerals (everydayminerals.com) and she liked it just as much! You can get a free sample (just pay $4.00 s&h) or you can get a custom kit which is any 6 things (brushes lip balm face blush etc.) for $34.00! can't beat that!

I love Bare Escentuals Bare Minerals. I ended up going into a Sephora to try it out and had them do the color match for me. Bought the start up kit there and loved it! Used it all up and now I've gotten much tanner so I'll need to go in and have them color match me again. But I really liked it. Very easy to apply and always left me with a nice matte finish. And I felt like my skin could really breath in it! =)

What kind of infomercial hair/makeup things has everyone tried? I saw "Wen" advertised, and now that I can find it on Amazon I might consider trying it. (I read the thread, still haven't decided) For ages, BareMinerals was infomercial material. InStyler? I get sucked into these stupid infomercials and I was just wondering if I'm the only one.... LOL
