Here Is Another Useless But Funny Review

I was on Macy's website looking for an item. It was out of stock. It had one lone review. The customer was upset that it wasn't available.

Effectiveness *****

Value *

Eye Colour:hazel

Age:45-54

Type Of User:devoted user

This is a great product but has its downfalls.March 15, 2014

The product is very overpriced along with insufficient inventory in the department stores. Many times when I go to Macy's, I have to go back again and again or ask that it be shipped to my house when I cannot get back there. The inconvenience of using this product is pushing me to use something else that also may be less expensive. It is unfortunate that the supply does not meet the demands.

Thank you

She gave both a 5 star & 1 star rating.

I can understand her 5 stars and 1 star - 5 she does really love it but only 1 because she can't get it when she wants or needs it. Sometimes I feel the same way.

Me too. She also noted that the product is over priced but that hasn't stopped her from buying it repeatedly because she mentions going back "again and again".

Unlike the OP, I find this to be a useful review.

I don't understand your confusion at the review. She thinks it is a good product but is overpriced and difficult to get. Not everyone will pay any amount to get a beauty product, she doesn't think it is good value for the money.

The item was discontinued. Long gone at all sites for more than a year if I'm not mistaken. I didn't say I was confused, just amused. I note that often on the forums here some say that a review was less than helpful. Just my take on it. Nothing more.

Her review didn't state what the product did or didn't do. No actual review. That all. Just another skincare item that was no longer stocked. She had at least found a less expensive option. Just goes to show how we can all read the same thing and come away with a different take on it.

Re: Here Is Another Useless But Funny Review

I have issues with alot of the reviews. I want to know what the fit is like, where does it fit the best, what size is the reviewer, what size did she get, how does it wash up, is it well made, what is the color really like. Not that 'I like it and want another color' ---useless to me. Give me more details, people!!!!{#emotions_dlg.confused1}

Obviously she does pay the amount though for the beauty product because she states going back over and over again for it.

What is funny to me is that she is complaining about the price but complaining about the item not being in stock. LOL

It's sort of like reading here in threads and people complain about something being ugly and overpriced. What difference does the price make if you think it's ugly? {#emotions_dlg.blink}

How can you review something you haven't actually purchased or used?

That's not a review.

Re: Here Is Another Useless But Funny Review

Sometimes I read a review on Amazon that has less than 5 stars. The person is rating the packaging or shipping time instead of the product. They should delete these as they don't rate the product properly. Just dumb.
