SUNDAY MOAN: LA ROCHE-POSAY EXFOLIATOR (GRIT!)

It is no secret to anyone that knows me that I am a beauty product hoarder. And with that I put my hands up and say, I am dumb. You see, I know that I don't look any better if I buy a £30 moisturiser but I do it anyway. My main reason for this is that it makes me happy when I look at the pretty packaging. It's not so much that I love beauty products as it is that I love BUYING beauty products.

I sit, cross-legged, surrounded by all of my pretty things and then sometimes if I'm really excited I roll in them (note: try to refrain from doing this with make-up, I smashed a new contouring kit just a few days ago and I am distraught).

So let me tell you about this week. I have spent £80 on beauty products. I should feel ashamed, I know, but I don't. In my mind, they were all bargains. Except for one.

After spending many hours of my life on feelunique.com, I finally settled on a new facial exfoliator. Because why wouldn't you pay good money for grit to rub on your face? Especially when the builders next door have a bag of sand stationed outside the house.

I'll tell you why.

Reviews. After my previous rant on The Babble (on book reviews), let me tell you about the beauty reviews. I was browsing through my favourite brands and I found a La Roche-Posay exfoliator that looked alright. Everyone bloody loves it. So I put it in my basket. £10. Not too bad. Averagely priced I'd say.

Ok, so I didn't read the product description. But £10 for a 50ml tube of exfoliator?! I've checked, all of their other products are similar prices for four times the amount. Why did no one mention the fact that they paid £10 for a travel sized exfoliator?! The worst thing is that it isn't even travel sized! It's full size! Do they only expect me to use it 3 times in my entire existence?! That would be the only way that they would even get an 'it's alright' review from me.

I haven't even used it yet. I'm too scared to open it incase a bit pops out that I wasn't intending on using and then it's wasted.

I'M FURIOUS. 50ML. GRIT. £10. AND NO ONE SAID ANYTHING.

People of feelunqiue.com, you are a disgrace.
