Cinnamon Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 You know what really has been bugging me? All those ads on TV & in magazines for mascara, where the models eyelashes MUST be enhanced in some way because NO-ONE has got that many eyelashes,that perfet & that long How do these advertisers get away with it? There.Glad I got that off my chest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xChicken04x Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 I just read about this in my Star magazine. this is what it says: "Penelope Cruz's LOreal mascara advert has been banned after it revealed that the actress was wearing fake eyelashes. The ad claimed that the mascara makes lashes look up to 60 percent longer-but the star was wearing individual false eyelashes to boost her own. The advertising standards Authourity ruled that the advert exaggerted the make-up's effect. Oh dear!" hehe! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moochoo Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 Have you seen on one the adverts there is a disclaimer that says something along the lines of models lashes have been enhanced! If they tell you then it's ok to make outragous claims about the product.....we are all that stupid - apparently!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted August 8, 2007 Author Share Posted August 8, 2007 The one that prompted my post is on the back of "HEAT" magazine,which I was idly flicking through earlier. It is for Maxfactors Masterpiece Max Mascara, & the models eyes are like a china dolls - perfect lashes There is no way they can possibly be real.........& no way would any mere mortals eyelashes end up looking like that just by using this stuff. She easliy has treble the amount of lashes I do! Interesting aboult Penelope Cruz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starboyhull Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 One of our clients is a media company and they do work for los of cosmetic companies, wont go into names though....... They use computers to enhance the models and make their products look like they work, one that sticks in my mind that they told me about was a shampoo and conditioner, it was one for split ends and the after shot showed almost no split ends left, this was all enhanced by computers and was not real...... I doubt very much the advertising standards ever find out....They should really, but who is going to tell them, all the companies involved make big money out of it and most consumers would never be able to prove the products didnt work....

Egluntyne Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 The one that makes me laugh is the Max Factor ad. The lashes look like railway tracks and the model has a squint! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted August 8, 2007 Author Share Posted August 8, 2007 Its probably the strain of all those lashes thats causing the squint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gooner.girl Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 My DH always takes the mick when the beauty ads come on with all their 'scientific research'. I always take them seriously I did hear about the L'Oreal mascara ad though - DH told me with much glee (he liked being proved right! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I take payments in eglus and chickens - no need for thanks... ) I've heard its when you get to 28 you start looking REALLY old..... 11 months to go... Sigh...

Cinnamon Posted August 10, 2007 Author Share Posted August 10, 2007 Andrew,I need you to have a quiet word with Brian then. I am a real Clinique fan & I got him a massive bag of samples which he is refusing to use He says they all look the same in the brown packaging & he will stick to his Nivea for men,thank you very much. Don't know why I bother sometimes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Man Banned Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 Nivea can be a bit hit and miss dependant on skin type. I find it's far too greasy for me as I have oily skin, so I use the extra strength facewash, and the scruffing lotion 2.5 finished with oil control hydrator. But men are fussy blighters and don't like change! A xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
