Paid Advertising Addict

Hi, my name is SheRoos and I'm an addict. An info-commercial junkie to be exact. When flipping through television channels I instantly get sucked in to the world of paid advertising. I tell myself that it's OK to watch for 5 minutes but DO NOT buy. Well, the truth is... I've been suckered more than a couple times. 6 to be exact:

1) Proactiv- this product was seriously an answered prayer to my adult stricken, acne, face. I still use it on occasion when I break out & HeRoos also uses it. Sometimes I wonder if I should buy stock in the company.

2) Bare Mineral Makeup- I ended up giving this away because I didn't like the mess when I mixed it.

3)some work out program that I can't remember the name of- obviously I was under some crazy idea that I would actually work out to videos at home. The day it arrived, reality set in and I returned it for a refund.

4)The Magic Bullet- I L-O-V-E my bullet. HeRoos & I use it at least once a day. It's awesome for Green Smoothies on the go. I've gone through 3 of them because we use them so much. My favorite part is that I can just toss the cups & blades in the dishwasher without dealing with a mess. We're saving for a "fancier" blender but I just may cry when it's time to say good-bye.

5) Youthful Essence by Susan Lucci- I ordered this years ago ran out of the products but I still use the resurfacing tool. I'm still waiting for the day when I look in the mirror and see Susan Lucci smiling back at me.

6)Wen- my latest purchase. It has only been a couple weeks but I must admit, I like how soft my hair feels. I'm undecided if I will continue with it but so far it's a keeper.

My latest temptation that I'm fighting hard to resist... the Genie bra. A bra with no under wire & it claims to cut down on back fat AND overflow on the top AND it lifts?! Bring it on! What girl doesn't want a genie to make her wishes come true?

I'm with you on the Bullet love mine. I gave up on Bare Minerals it made me face patchy - but I love Jane Iredale which is similar but comes in a pancake instead of loose - less mess.

Too funny! You have broken the taboo by admitting you buy that stuff! We've all been there, done that.

BUY THE GENIE! Then report to the rest of us who would LOVE all of those problems to be resolved.

I don't buy gadgets, but I have bought some CD's and have my eye on another set...

I bought Pajama Jeans. They're awesome. I wore them almost everyday in February. I know it's not right, but I'm not ashamed. I also bought Bump It's. Not awesome at all. I also vote that you buy a Genie Bra.

Oh my gosh I just watched the Wen infomercial last week and wanted to get it!

Okay friends, I must update you... Wen didn't work magic on my hair so I stopped ordering it and a BIG BOO to the Genie Bra. The bras were a big disappointment (dang it!) and the customer service was horrible about refunding my money. I had to keep calling back. It was so frustrating. I think I'll stick to stores for a while.
