The poof comb is a scam! Review

Ok I've been wanting to write my poof comb review for a while. Its just unfortunate that I have no poofcomb to write about! In November I ordered  the poof comb. It could be ordered online or by phone. I bought it online since I don't like giving credit card numbers over the phone.
To clarify it is this product:

(Note to self dont ever buy as seen on tv products ever again, I just can't believe I was suckered into it)
It said It would take up to 14 days to be sent to me. 14 days went by still no comb, so I used the "check my order status on the site." It said my order was received and it would take 14 days. I thought ok maybe they just have to many orders, its understandable.
More days went by...

Then when I used the track my order status all I got was the 401 "this page does not exist" This really worried me.  I could no longer track my order. But still, I gave them the benefit of the doubt.
Then the site magically worked again, but instead to 14 days it said something on the lines of "we are sorry we have had such a large volume of orders, that you are on back order. We are sorry any inconvenience."
Well this irked me but I will be patient.(since over a month had passed already)

Then something quite worrisome. The card company sent me a paper saying that my credit card was compromised and I needed a new number. Ironically, a few days later I received a letter from poof comb, saying they would send my order.
Hmmm strange isn't it?
Then a few days later, I received another letter hounding me for money....though I had already paid online for it! Said they wouldn't send it to me until I payed -_-
I still get letters from them!

Another reason I think it is a scam is that to this date, I haven't heard of any one receiving their poof comb, or seen/read any reviews. I highly doubt that even if I had paid them again, I would have the product.
So yes I would say the poof comb is a scam do not buy the poof comb!!!!

Also if poofcomb company reads this, explains why this happened, they can send me what I bought or contact me at alpineheidi@hotmail.com and I will do a proper review and forgive then. But until then, yes poofcomb.com is a scam do not buy it! Unless of course you like to order things you never recieve.

And one more thing, they say its 10 dollars. +shipping. Its not, they also charge like a 7 dollar processing fee. They also try to sucker you in to getting the "deluxe comb". I didn't even get the "extra" comb set and my 10 dollar product cost over 20! Had I gotten the extra comb it would have been almost 40! and if I had gotten the deluxe comb even more expensive!

UPDATE it seems that poof comb is astroturfing online. Under someone named steve/steph H
who uses poor grammar. These are screencaps from my computer so that poof comb will not delete their puppet answers. They will get big if you click on them. I actually posted on yahoo is the poof comb a scam, ironically it was "flagged" though it did not break any of the rules. This means I cant show it since I did not think at the time to screen cap it :(
I also found it odd that Steph henry asks where to get the product, orders it from the website but later says she called them?

7169 Simplicity Pattern Review

 

Though a little bit, well really 70s, I saw this and thought it looked quite cute. (and ridiculously easy to make). It was probably one of the fastest dresses I've ever sewn, I finished it in a few hours and only had to work on it one day. So I would say the pattern really is a "jiffy".

I made it out of a really soft jersey material.

I will say I have some regrets with the dress, but not necessarily with the pattern. I chose to make it out of this deep purple color. In the end it was not a flattering color on me, I should have made it out of something bright like the yellow color used in the picture. It sort of looks like a witch costume in the deep purple color.

(I think on someone with darker coloring it would not be the case)

Front

Back

Pattern Description:
The dress or top with low round neckline and long raglan sleeves gathered with elastic casings has self fabric tie belt wrapped and tied in front.
Pattern Sizing:
The pattern comes in Small, Medium, and Large. I made the small.(only one per envelope) I thought this was interesting, I had never seen a pattern with sizes like that before. I suppose its like that because it ties to fit in the front.
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
yes, though I had some issues around the shoulder area.
Were the instructions easy to follow?
Very, easy and very clear.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
I really liked how simple it was, it had in interesting way of putting the sleeves in. I didn't dislike anything about it. I also liked how there were only 3 pattern pieces.
Fabric Used:
Jersey, I found it draped quite nicely and went well with the dress.
But when my friend saw it she said to press more :(. I pressed and pressed but the hem and waist  tie wouldn't lie flat. Any tips for this?
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
none, no need for it really.
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
I would like to sew this again in a different color. Yes I would recommend it to others.
Conclusion:
A really easy, fun to make dress but best made in a bright color. Could easily be a 1 day project. I think it would be an awesome project if you were going to a 70s party. Would look especially cool with a ~groovy~ print.

Tazorac Review

Oh Tazorac, how many times have you been prescribed to me?
Seriously, all my dermatologists seem to be obsessed with Tazorac (Tazarotene), even though I tell them it doesn't really work for me. Pretty much, most dermatologists will force the Tazorac on you before they give you the good stuff.

Tazorac

Tazorac is like vitamin A and helps your skin to renew its self faster, which can help with acne, wrinkles, psoriasis ext. But you have to be careful with it because (like accutane) it can cause birth defects in babies. For me it didn't help my skin at all. Yes my skin renewed faster, but it was literally peeling off. My face always looked so flaky and dry. When I think about it, I really have never heard of anyone who Tazorac worked for them....One nice thing about it though is it lasts a long time because its a fairly large tube and you don't need to use a lot.

Pros:

• Skin Renews faster
• Help with Wrinkles

Cons:

• Drying
• Birth defects
• Burning
