Beauty Product Reviews

I am just going to talk about my life a little and try to do beauty product reviews for all those that are interested.

I was taken!

As you know I hate high pressure sales. However, I am not immune to them. Walking through the mall I passed a stand for beauty product, not intending to stop. Then some woman with an accent said, "Can I ask you a question?" I was like yah... thinking she wanted to know the time or something. I was wrong. "Do you have natural nails? She asked. As a matter of fact I do. She proceeded to them show me their nail buffer and demonstrated it on me. I was expecting to walk away unharmed, but she pulled me in. My nail became sooo shiny and smooth, I had never seen them like that. The buffer was being sold in a kit by the brand Obey Your Body along with Dead Sea Mineral Hand and Body Lotion and a nail file. She said it usually costs over 30 dollars but she would give it to me for 23......... And let me tell you I wanted it, I had never seen my nails look so good. Then she proceeded to try to suck over 50 dollars more out of me, but I resisted. She wanted me to buy body butter that was over 25 dollars (this was the special price she was going to give me, usually it was 40 *supposedly*), body buffer for 20 dollars (usually 30 something) and a hand and foot scrub for 20 dollars (usually 40). I walked away with just the nail kit, which I felt pretty good about. But still, it was a bit upsetting because I wouldn't have bought it if she hadn't aggressively sold it to me. However, I am happy with the product. Basically the buffer has three sides that you use, one side is the roughest and it gets rid of ridges, the next side smooths it out some more, and the last side is the selling point. It makes your nails soft and silky, and looking like you have clear polish on them. I only used it yesterday and my nails are still shiny. Supposedly the effect is supposed to last weeks but we will see, I will update you. Anyway I will give the buffer itself 3.0 out of 4.0, I love the results but I have a feeling I could have found something that did the same thing for cheaper.

Ok it is now a week or so later and I need to update this post because the nail buffer I feel has thinned my nails out, I only used it once as recommended but my nails feel wimpier and more papery, which isn't worth the shine.... I am going to downgrade this product to a 2.0 out of 4.0. Only use it if you want really short shiny nails. Also the Obey Your Body Lotion that is made with dead sea minerals stinks after you put it on, I think owing to the fact that dead sea minerals probably stink. ew. I have the kiwi one and it smells good in the package but after you apply it yuck. I give it a .4 out of 4.0. Don't reccomend it.
