Lately I've had a lot of companies, work at home mums and home based businesses send me products to try out.
I feel quite proud that people have found me and want me to try their products out and give them my opinion and feedback. But at times there are products sent to me that I really don't want to try.
I was sent some detoxing foot patches that smelt horrible as soon as I opened up the pack.... and even worse once i had worn them overnight. I couldn't get the stench out of our house for over a week let alone out of my bed sheets! Earthydad claimed it was due to my body containing too much toxic content. So he decided to try them out, seeing as all men think they eat better than us women! The results were horribly intoxicating smell that once again took over a week to leave the house!
Other items include a toothpaste that claimed to be pomegranate flavour. We love pomegranates so i was super excited about giving it a go. Boy oh boy was i disappointed with this toothpaste. Not only was it not pomegranate but it was some sort of fiery mint. It was truly horrendous. It would numb your whole mouth and make steam come out of your ears due to its bite.
Now the worst one was some facial products i was sent. I tried out some of the moisturisers and other bits and pieces and although they were wonderful i seemed to react to them every single time. I thought id try out a mud mask which was a reddy brown colours. i started putting it on and it truly felt like mud, of course Vomitron caught whiff of me doing something relaxing and woke up so after tending to him hubby saw me and started laughing.
me: 'what are you laughing about?!'
him: "heehehe ummm you got a little sumfin sumfin on your face'
me: what the heck are you on about?"
him: 'did you forget to wash your hands after changing that nappy?'
Ofcourse i forgot i had partially put the mask on and of course the male thought i had baby poop on my face and rather than warning me, laughed instead.
All in all i probably would have been better off with poop on my face, as the product turned my face and neck bright red for hours! It was horrible, i was itching and burning all night.
Lesson learned do a test patch before coating a thick layer all over your skin, and don't walk around with fake baby poop on your face.
Good Night
