3 Overrated Products That Just Don’t Work

While it is nice to know that there are some won­der beauty prod­ucts out there that are chang­ing lives, it is even more use­ful to know what doesn’t. Here are the 3 prod­ucts we picked out that are way over­rated, over­priced, or sim­ply, do not work:

1. First Aid Beauty Detox Eye Roller

When you have puffy eyes and dark cir­cles in the morn­ing after a night of par­ty­ing, the very, very last thing you want is bomb­ing your eyes with burn­ing sen­sa­tions. Mona (smerfette) sent in her review of the First Aid Beauty Detox Eye Roller ($24 at Sephora) and com­plained about the intense tingly burn­ing sen­sa­tion under her eyes,  and that the roller ball of the tip of the tube makes it harder to the get prod­uct out. Mona tells us in her review that she still per­fers con­cealer to the First Aid Beauty Detox Eye Roller — the prod­uct feels dan­ger­ous, the pack­ag­ing is not user-friendly, and the prod­uct itself doesn’t do much. Well, our ver­dict? Overrated!

2. Perricone MD Cosmeceuticals Synergy Anti-aging Aromatic

Heather Ann (HeatherAnn1055) sent in this hilar­i­ous review of the Perricone MD Cosmeceuticals Synergy Anti-aging Aromatic, telling us that the prod­uct smells kind of nice and a de facto $75 roll-on per­fume that is “an inno­v­a­tive anti-aging solu­tion to the brain”. A rev­o­lu­tion­ary per­fume that stim­u­lates brain func­tion and even­tu­ally helps you achieve anti-aging results! How futur­is­tic, sur­real, and… con­vo­luted! Watch how Heather Ann com­pared it to good old snake oil sell­ers on the street who are kind of insane. Hmmm not exactly some­thing you are very excited to try? We aren’t that sur­prised.

3. Pharmacopia Citrus Body Wash

Su (ValleyGurlFrmHell) sent in a review on Pharmacopia Citrus Body Wash with the com­ment that “it doesn’t lather up at all, makes you feel sticky all over, you smell like noth­ing after you shower, and it has no ben­e­fits”. Well. That’s a pretty awful review for Pharmacopia Citrus Body Wash. I guess this one is fairly straight­for­wardly over­rated.
