The Cracked Heel Stick was introduced in March, 2009, and according to the May 13 airing of the Discovery Channel’s Pitchmen show, was a huge success. The ad really catches your attention with the sandblaster being applied to the ladies feet. That’s how I feel sometimes when my heels start to crack and then bleed. It almost seems like no lotion will ever heal your skin. Just so you know, there seems to be similar looking heel sticks with slightly different names. There’s the Heel Stick (featured on The Pitchmen show) and the Heel Tastic (current infomercial). On HSN it’s called the “Earth To Skin Care Cracked Heel Renewal”. I’ve also seen it named “Luxuriant Cracked Heel Repair”. Whatever the name they go under the main point is,

The story goes that Glaucoma patients received drug treatments for their eye condition. Then began seeing a surprising side effect…full, long, lush eyelashes. The ingredients in the glaucoma drugs that are responsible for this are prostaglandin and cloprostenol. Cloprostenol began to appear in more and more products, like Rapid Lash. But there’s a lot of controversy around these two key ingredients. You might be wondering if these eyelash growth products are safe….

Finishing Touch is that little pen shaped hair remover for the light to help remove those pesky hard to reach, unwanted hairs. Apparently good for all those hard to reach places you can never get at with the razor …upper lip, chin, ankles, knees, nose, ears bikini lines and eyebrows. BTW, I noticed that the Micro Touch Trimmer for men is almost an identical product except that it’s grey in color.

The Maxiglide Hair Straightener infomercial claims its better than regular flat irons due to its magical “steam burst technology”. I’m like most of you ladies out there…sooo incredibly skeptical about those fake models with their fake smiles and phony testimonials. I can’t even stand watching them and end up switching channels. Of course those of us with super curly hair would love to easily transform our hairstyle into a sleek, silky just stepped out of the salon look. So we all hold out hope that just maybe, you can you really get silky smooth hair with a few passes of the Maxiglide.

Split Ender is actually made by the Revo Styler company. It’s inventor - a long haired guy in a rock band who got tired of shelling out money on hair trims. Hmmm interesting. Can this really be a time saving device for those annoying split ends? I’m all for being self sufficient and saving you’re hard earned money. I know those salon costs really add up over time. Let’s see if this hair trimmer really works.

EZ Combs are basically two hair combs tied together with jewel covered bands that stretch. What we wouldn’t give for a hair accessory that could give us an attractive style instantly! I usually have no luck with hair clips. That’s why I’m skeptical about these EZ Combs. I find that these sorts of hair accessories work better for people with finer hair. Can we really achieve hairstyle perfection with EZ combs?

Instyler is supposed to be the hottest hairstyling tool since the flat iron came out on the market. The big attraction is that it supposedly saves you time styling your hair by drying and styling it at the same time. I see that this company is trying to slam flat irons… their claim? It doesn’t damage your hair because it uses less heat. You know this company should get an award for their extremely clever marketing tactics both online and off. The hype they’ve created is unbelievable!

Chic Shaper is another “bra accessory” to lift the girls. They’re coming out with a lot of those lately. It kind of looks like a backwards bra that fastens at the front. It’s supposed to be worn over your bra to give it a boost…so it’s a bra for your bra basically. The makers claim it supports your back and improve your posture. Looks like it may have been originally marketed and sold to Chinese women but under the name “Chinese Wonderful Bra.” Haha! That bra looks EXACTLY like the Chic Shaper. This could explain why some women are finding the Chic Shaper sizes a little off.
