Online Fad Fails

I purchased the black peel-off mask too and I sware it pulls more hair out then blackheads. I’m silly though, I keep using it thinking it will work better each time and no same thing every time!

I bought one of those black charcoal masks with the hopes it’d pull out my blackheads. As it turned out, it was too good to be true. After some long painful peeling, it ended up pulling out hairs more than blackheads/sebaceous filaments.

The only luck I’ve had is using a clay mask, then oil cleansing then using this mask. I could see some white dots from where I applied it to my nose but it wasn’t much. And it did nothing for my chin.

I’m going to be honest here…

I just purchased a waist trainer.
It wasn’t too expensive but, I really need to keep the weight off after eating so much in Winter! Let’s hope it does what it says and will give an update later on!

mine’s really not a beauty fad, but those garlic twist crushes,, bleh
but at least i didn’t fall for the exercise machines?

I have seen so many videos on twitter about this masks, I wondered if they worked or not. I have seen one viral one going around now, a hair removal cream.

I have never really brought stuff off tv or anything but somebody gave me a thin lizzy powder once. Oh god, I hated it. So over-hyped. I know they say it has like 55 different uses (slight over-exaggeration but to me it was just a standard powder and it looked so cakey on my skin). I have used better powders from maybelline and essence (and they are much cheaper). I know they said you could use it as an eyeshadow so I did once, it wouldn’t blend in at all. The only thing I liked was the clear lip gloss I got with it. I don’t think it was the wonder product it was hyped to be.

Lol I had a very similar experience with a very similar product by a brand called Pilaten. It seemed so good; a peel off charcoal mud mask so I decided to try it out.
It was nothing like it was advertised! It didn’t dry properly, in some parts it did dry but a lot of it didn’t; it stayed in this odd, tacky texture that was horrendous to remove-couldn’t peel it off. Struggled to remove it even with hot water and a facial cloth, I had to add facial cleanser and scourer at my skin to try to remove it off my face, which left my skin very red, very sore and adgitated.
The parts that did actually dry properly were extremely painful to remove and did not leave my skin smooth or blackhead free at all! It left my skin red, tingly and sore 🙁
I was suckered into the promise of a peel off charcoal mud mask that would remove blackheads with ease; I got something completely different.
Needless to say it went straight in the bin and I do not blind-buy skin products anymore lol always always always research or test first 🙂

I love the black peel off masks! I have the Elizavecca Hell Pore and it works well for me. Maybe you got a dud? I have not much of an issue with pores but it does work for that for me. I mostly use it to remove the fine blonde peach fuzz I get on my lower face and jaw areas. Wax strips don’t tend to work in that area but the black mask does.

What a shame about the mask, I saw that and thought it would be great! Lucky I didn’t get it!

BLOODY WAIST TRAINERS!! I ‘waisted’ (ahem excuse the pun) $60 on one two years ago when I was going to the gym and shedding off a lot of weight. Wanted an extra boost/help on the tummy area (what it was hyped up for). It was such a gimmick and did nothing and was uncomfortable to wear. I wore a size 10 in clothing, it was recommended to order one size up so I got a size 12 and it was so short it didn’t fit properly (and I’m not even tall).
