Random musing coming up : Just watching the POTD Pearl hair remover and remembering the reviews I read the last time it was POTD. This machine seems to rip the hell out of your legs and pretty much that's it, if the reviewers are to be believed. I remember yonks and yonks ago, when the orange woman used to be on with skincare which contained hair reducer and spray on tights, there used to be another hair remover device which was basically a sander
Goodness, I wanted one of those for aaages, was only like £25 I think but that was so much cash to me. I watched weeks worth of offers/potd's/deals/hours (you know IW by now when they have a dead horse to flog) and all the demo's had it working beautifully, sanding off your hair for want of a better expression, silky smooth legs in 10 minutes, bingo.
Anyhoo, near christmas I think, my flatmate convinced me to spend the money on myself so I ordered it, my first and last from IW. LOL and OMG at the same time. It didn't work AT ALL, and I'm no village idiot, plus I'd watched about 25 solid hours of this thing being demo'ed. But to add injury to insult, it also managed to burn and rip all bejesus out of my legs, so much so I could barely touch my legs for about a week!! Sounds a bit like this Pearl from the reviews.
Makes you think doesn't it, if there is some trick to the demos. I also bought some Bosun carpet cleaner from QVC, you know; will clean the filthiest carpet to like new. Well, it didn't actually do a thing to a moderately mucky carpet and that too got sent back
Oh well, luckily I learnt my lessons with those 2, one from QVC and one from IW and now I wouldn't buy a 1ct diamond for 50p, I just know there will be some 'downside'
Still IW makes me laugh so keep on.......being shonky?
