New Feature, Perhaps?

January 29th, 2008 by admin

So yesterday was apparently the day of beauty reviews! We spend far more time reading product reviews than we should - and we’ve learned that sometimes, it’s just complete garbage. We haven’t actually LEARNED anything USEFUL yet, which as one can imagine, is really annoying. We’ve seriously been to the Kiehl’s counter 6 times in a month, and returned probably 10 products that we read were good. Jerks.

Here is where our potential new plan comes in. We are not experts, we fully admit this. And everyone can have different experiences. But would it be interesting for us to review products suggested by you, our awesome readers? We’d have to be kind of selective - like we can’t afford to go out and buy a tub of La Mer or whatever the fuck, just to see if it makes our skin feel nice. And we definitely wouldn’t try anything dangerous, like LipoDissolve (as Lovely Friend so desperately wants, and we keep telling him absolutely not). But we’re game to be your guinea pig, if it’d help. Plus, while we are far from scientific, 3 of the 4 people in our immediate family work in science, so we could try to help determine why something works (or doesn’t). We can’t be sure they want to be involved, but you never know.

What do you guys think about this? Yes? No? Should we just stick with randomly buying things and writing about it?

Above, Kiehl’s Creamy Eye Treatment ($24) - the one new product we’ve actually really liked, reviews be damned.
