Flawless?

So I think the advertisement industry is out to get people like me. They say "This will make your eyelashes twice as long! And as an added bonus, the tube is bright green!" or whatever and before the sentence is even over I am out buying that mascara, enchanted by the bright green (huge orange, magenta, or what may have you) bottle/tube, only to become disenchanted with the product, "What do you mean I don't have lengthened and separated eyelashes or stick straight hair or perfect skin?" Such was the same with Tresemme Flawless Curls' line of products.

I saw the commercial, claiming you could get "flawless, salon-perfect curls" for obviously less of a price. So I went out and bought the whole shebang; mousse, curl creme, and curl activator spray.

Did it give me flawless, salon perfect curls? Hardly. It may be because they intend you to use the products with blow dried hair, and I air dry mine. It may also be because my hair has taken a wavy curly side to it as opposed to a kinky curl side and so I get mixed results. Whatever it may be, I was like really? It's just that they don't work any better than the products I was using before, and sometimes I happen to have a good curl day with the products (yesterday was one), but mostly it just sort of does the job with a layer of frizz on top.

So the lesson is I guess to never trust that products will do what they say they do. And if they do work by chance, then it's just icing on the cake. $4.35
