What's with Serious Skin Care's Pig-in-a-Poke Today's Specials?

[Hershey]

Today Serious Skincare has another choice of three sizes of Today's Special surprise boxes. You know two of the products in the box, but they won't tell you the rest of the products you will receive - they are surprises. Those boxes would be heavy to ship back if you didn't like what the surprises turned out to be. I can't imagine purchasing this TS. Apparently Jennifer F. Stallone has offered surprise TS's before - I guess they are popular. But what's up with that? Who would buy a box of stuff and they don't even know what's in it? Crazy!! Has anyone ever purchased one of these surprise boxes?

I have never purchased any of her porducts. I sure wouldn't buy a surprise.

I have never purchased one...pig in a poke is a good name for them..LOL
I probably wouldn't use whatever is in them.

Pig-in-a-Poke, LOL. Good one Hershey.

I for one would NEVER consider buying something like this, sight unseen and no presentation. Nope, HSN and Mrs. Sly aren't getting any of my $$$$$.

What's the big mystery? Just tell people what they are getting!!!

I like some of SSC products, but when I buy a kit I always end up with products I don't want. So, there's no way they would tempt me with these, since the "surprises" I'm pretty sure wouldn't be pleasant!

If you go to www.hsn.com, and look up the boxes, just click on where it says "ingredients" - all the details come up. I have been burned by these boxes before and now at least can choose whether or not to spend the money. I clicked, I looked and I decided there are better things to spend my money on today.

I tried some of the SSC Tinted Moisturizer and etc. that came in a makeup kit that they sold not long after they premeired on HSN......The kit had Tinted Mosturizer, Powder, and Blush in it; and the products ended up turning me orange......I've never been interested in any of their stuff after that, but now they have come out with mineral makeup and that's got me curious; at least HSN puts some of the unfavorable reviews of products on their site......I'd rather read those reviews, and spare my face from the orange look again....

I agree with Pandagirl though, that more likely than not that the "surprises" wouldn't be pleasant.....

Thanks Rebel_Mom for the tip about going to HSN's site and clicking on "ingredients".......It would be nice if both HSN and the Q listed the "ingredients" in all the skin care and makeup they sell. I have a feeling people in hell will get ice water before that happens though.....

Bumping because Serious Skin Care is once again offering their Halloween Trick or Treat "surprise" boxes.

[pebbles]

That's how these companies get rid of their losers. I'm sure they are products that sold poorly. Nothing sold by anyone with the last name of Stallone is wanted here.

I have never bought her skin care line. Is it really that good, because a lot of people buy it?

Check out this one review for SSC's latest Halloween pig in a poke surprise box. The reviewer hated it and it's going right back - all loser products she says! Figures.

LOL and now these reviews:
