As Seen On TV has always had a certain niche with people and of course as it's progressed over the years we now see infomercials from various companies like Mally, WEN, Dr. Brandt and so many others. Have you ever bought makeup or skincare from a tv commercial? QVC/HSN/ShopNBC and similar stations do not count.

 
Yup. BareMinerals. Wish I had dodged that allergic reaction lol. I don't think I have purchased other beauty items except on HSN and QVC and that is only usually for a sale or LE item.

 
Nope. Believe I thought about it. Also thought about buying one of those Tria Hair Removal things I saw too, but the price is too scary for something I am unsure will work.

 
No, actually I haven't bought any items direct after watching an infomercial. Lol, but I've definitely been in the As Seen in TV stores/aisles and picked up various things. I'm with Vogueboy, more household product types and no beauty.

A few years ago I was working on a beer commercial for a Super Bowl spot and the Key Hair said that she had bought one of those 3 barrel rotating curling iron/brush tools. In a nutshell, she said it was the worst tool she ever bought, didn't do anything that the infomercial claimed. They sure make it looks easy and revolutionary on those infomercials, don't they?
 
Wow, that sucks. :/.... Yeah, that Tria thing is only up with about 3/5 stars on Amazon, yet, I have read online articles claiming it is one of the best beauty devices out there to have. At poiints like that, I never know what to believe. Dropping 3-4 hundred on a "maybe" is too strong a gamble. >_<

 
Nope never have...though I have bareminerals, but I got it from Sephora, so I don't think that counts XD
