What Beauty Product Scares You?

[Replies: 36]
I am terrified of using an eyelash curler. I have never used one. I am scared I will pull my eyelashes out or they will be cut off.

My Emjoi Optima, and WEN.

Every few months I will pull the Emjoi out, try it on my lower legs, scream, and put it back in the box. I seriously doubt I will ever be able to really use it.

And I have to admit, I am nervous about WEN because I have very oily skin and an oily scalp. I get s*cked in though every time I see Chaz on Q. I caught a few minutes of his infomercial the other day, and after DREAMING about it last night, I decided to call and order the infomercial special. It was only $29.95, and if I don't like it I can pass it on to my little sister like I do with all my other rejected beauty products. She loves getting boxes of free goodies.

Definitely Botox or anything injected into my face.

Epilady - oh my goodness, what a torture device - slowly yanking out the hairs, one by one, all the while little, red painful bumps start appearing at the place you just plucked out the hairs. OOOOOOO . .. I shudder at the thought of that thing.

The other one is the face zapper thing that Suzanne Somers sells on HSN . . .jolts of electricity spasming the muscle . . . get an eye twitch just thinking about it . . . .I:O

Botox and fillers! It's not that I hate needles, I just hate pain and I'm afraid of it's going to hurt too much. I have almost no upper lip at all and my dermatologist said that he could add a little and it would really help....but, I'm afraid of the pain! When I've seen those ladies on housewives of orange county getting it done, it looks very painful! ;)

P.S. Add Epi Lady to that!!! A girlfriend invited me up to her house in the country about 12 years ago and told me she had this great new shaving thingie.....she was very evil! She couldn't stop laughing as I was screaming! She'd already tried it and tossed it aside as well but couldn't resist putting one over on me! ;)

Hahahaha!! L2L, my mom got one of those for Christmas a few years ago (for herself). We all cracked up when she opened it and put it on. My brother, who is incredibly comical, ran to the kitchen and got a huge butcher knife, and took a picture of her wearing the mask/holding the knife. She looked JUST like Jason from the Friday the 13th movies!!

:^O

OOPS! Another post just made me realize it was the Rejuvenique, not the Suzanne Somers thing. Check this out!! TOO FUNNY!

Botox was the first to come to mind. I've never had it, but it looks painful!

haha - the Facial Flex isnt scary, but you sure look scary using it! I have to laugh at myself when I use it because I can picture the lady on t.v. or Lisa R.

They make fun of that video clip of them using the FF alot on The Soup (my favorite t.v. show)

Thanks Nanc! I am excited to try it but I think I will do my first use on a Saturday. I will also be checking out the shows tonight and tomorrow.

BTW, your hair is GORGEOUS!! I saw the pic you posted. Just lovely!

I'm afraid to try that Nano soap with the silver in it (for my blemishes), because I don't want to end up with a blue face.

I have to admit, MaMa lotion scares the complete beejoobers out of me...
It's the 20% AHA...I use 8% AHA twice a week, and my skin gets nervous about just that...

But I know a lot of you ladies use it happily, with no problems...so, it's just me, I know...:)

I've used the nano soap for over a year now and love it. No blue face, yet. When it does turn blue I'll try out for the blue-man band then make them change their name to the blue people band.
