Cheap can be GOOD and cheap can be BAD. So what's the verdict with these? Wellllllll, I LOVE trying international beauty products! SMILE! I placed an order with Creightons for some beauty stuff and came across these cuties. The packaging was super cute! Each was only a
£1.99 ($3.03 USD). I said what the hell? Let me try them and added them to my cart. Well I got them annnnddd....here we go! The Squeeky Clean Daisy Fresh Shower Detox smelled like pink bubble gum (in the tube). That's good right? Yep! It also has a beautiful lavender color. The problem is once it comes out the tube. It just goes wrong...wrong...wrong! The scent quickly becomes artificial. It lathers. It cleans. But it just smells STALE and it doesn't do a great job moisturizing. Bottom line...I wouldn't wash a parakeet with this stuff! NEXT!!!When I tell you, Squeeky Clean Body Better Body Lotion is THE WORSE lotion I have ever, ever, ever, evAH tried...you best believe it! It's horrid! It comes out looking creamy, but it's watery. The scent is artificial. It dries leaving a film. My tube is in the trash! LOL The other products I ordered from them are delightful :) So I'm glad shipping wasn't a waste. Those are my thoughts :) This week is Squeaky Clean Week. I'll have another review tomorrow ;)

They made me think of Soap and Glory products. Same vibe. Shame, these didn't deliver... X
ReplyDeleteAww that is too bad Kim! Sorry to hear that the products you shared were not good.
ReplyDeleteOh yuck, these sound just awful! I'm all for a good bargain, but sometimes you really do get what you pay for, unfortunately.
ReplyDeletexox,
Cee
Wow, I love it! Enjoy the week sweetie!

At first glance I thought these were Soap and Glory products lol. The packaging looks so similar. That's a shame these products didn' work for you. At least you didn't spend a lot of money on them. Great review as always Kim!
ReplyDeleteAck! Too bad these weren't any good, Kim, coz the packaging was cute. I guess in this case, cheap isn't good!
ReplyDeleteSo cute. That's a shame they weren't good. I bought a similar affordable item before too and the packaging was sooo cute but the smell was artificial and awful to use. I know the feeling. Thankfully, most of the items I get don't turn out like these did.

I tried their lotion once, and had the same "film" problem. I have an allergy to a lot of cosmetics, so I always swatch them (even lotions) on my arm and wait a few days before I really use them. I'm glad I waited, because I broke out horribly in the spot where I applied it. Glad I'm not the only one that had a bad experience!
ReplyDeletethat's a really pink shower gel! it's too bad the lotion didn't work out

Yikes, too bad these products didn't live up to its name.
ReplyDeleteOh gosh these sounded like such a nightmare. I can practically hear those screams of mock horror! Nothing worse than body lotions that leave that ickyness atop your skin.

Sad to see you are not happy with these products. But thanks for sharing so that we don't buy them!
ReplyDeletesunandsany
I like the packaging but if it does not work is not for me sorry for the experience you had glad their other products are better.
ReplyDeleteOh no - such bad luck that both of the products aren't right for you! I'm glad you had a better experience with other things in your order Kim! :)
ReplyDeleteAway From The Blue
ew, sounds terrible. cute packaging, tho...
ReplyDeleteThank heavens these weren't expensive!! I've never heard of these before actually, if I ever come across them though, I'll know to pass. What a shame. I hate watery lotion so much, it's like 'did I put any on or have I just wasted half the bottle there' I've had other lotions so think I thought my skin would rip off, hahaha! What a shame. Well, now we know! Super review doll :) xx
ReplyDeleteWhat a shame... It looks so good! My personal opinion is that cheap products are hardly ever good due to the quality of the ingredients. Baci,

I love the packaging. It reminds me of soap and glory and dirtyworks. Pity that they didn't work well though.
ReplyDeleteToo bad these weren't good! I thought that they were soap and glory at first too! I'm excited to see what else you have to review from them!
ReplyDeleteYikes. I am so sorry that it sucked. It looks creamy but I guess you can never judge by a product by it's package, right?
ReplyDeletexx Bash | Bash Says Hey | bloglovin'
You are so right when you say sometimes cheap can be good and sometimes cheap can be so darn bad. And I am so sorry you had such a bad experience with this. I for one hate purchasing something and it turns out to be nothing like the description describes. Thanks for the warning Kim.

Eek! Both sounds horrid and I agree with Rowena, thank goodness these weren't expensive. It does makes me wonder if the manufactures tested these on themselves before producing it? Looking forward to your other reviews, Kim!

Kim, I am just like you when it comes to pretty packaging! lol. I am glad that they were so cheap! What a bummer.
ReplyDeleteOh, these sound terrible! So good that you didn't end up paying a lot for them. Never heard of this brand, and I will continue to stay away!
ReplyDeleteHahaha your quote about not washing a parakeet with it was too funny. We're always suckers for cute packaging aren't we. Unfortunately these didnt work out

Sorry to hear that, but I think that ONE good thing about these products is that luckily they were cheap :)
ReplyDeletehttp://crafty-zone.blogspot.com/
I agree. Cheap doesn't necessarily mean it's bad. Too bad, these didn't work out, at least they're inexpensive.

Oh no it's a shame they weren't to your liking, I hate scents that go artificial and chemically especially if they leave a lasting scent on the skin. I suppose it's good that you didn't break the bank on them!

what an honest review! I kind of laughed while i was reading it:p
ReplyDeletethe package is cute but I guess that doesn't matter, if the product is not.
I am glad the other thing you ordered was not a waste!

These sound great!
ReplyDeletewww.daisyperson.blogspot.com
I like the blogger who says "these sound great!" LOL
ReplyDeleteDo you think they are that bad because they are old? I get bad results from products that's been sitting on the shelves too.
I love your honest review, Kim!
sometimes you win and sometimes you lose, at least not out expensive products and some served, although they also have a cute design.
ReplyDeletewww.urbanikamoda.blogspot.com
Too bad!
ReplyDeleteToo bad they were not up to par… i guess that cute packaging can fool you.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear that these didn't work out, at least they weren't expensive.
ReplyDeleteWhere to buy PhenQ with the greatest discount available online? The last thing you want is to take a diet pill that could potentially harm your health. The great thing about PhenQ is that it contains natural ingredients.
