Itsy Bitsy Pink Face Vibrator

Well, that was anti-climatic.
Guess what my trip to Target yielded? For some mysterious reason, every time I visit Target, I almost end up purchasing items that I normally wouldn't even glance at (in other words, items that are reasonably priced under the standards of Capitalism, but insanely expensive when considering common sense and real material value.)
Anyway, I walked away with an ADORABLE gray-and-white sweater. It has a retro vibe, but the loose top and tight waist gives it a refined look. If only I had a camera. Also in my basket was:
the Neutrogena Wave (Duo)!
I know, I know!
The commercials always have an adorable washed-out Disney star smiling and rubbing her face with a pink vibrator. Well, it was just sitting on the shelf, begging to be picked up.
And of course, being the person that I am, I can't splurge on a random facial product that I do not need without writing a review!

My Wave is limited edition pink, like, oh my God. After doing some (too-late) research online, I really wasn't expecting the little thing to work. But, forever the optimist, I ripped over the package with some enthusiasm. I honestly didn't know why I spent seventeen dollars on the contraption, but I suppose I was in an experimental mood -- the same goes for my (New and AWESOME) purple plaid pants.

I won't go into detail about using the thing, since you can probably find that elsewhere. All I have to say is, make sure you don't have a male roommate who easily comes to strange conclusions when a muffled buzzing noise is emitted from the bathroom.

After an abnormally long time staring at my face in the mirror, my sore arm and I have had enough of the Wave. It does not work. Although, of course, that doesn't mean it's a useless piece of trash. It is entertaining, to some degree. Come on, who wouldn't love a bright pink face vibrator? Doesn't it just make you feel pampered and kinky?

Pros:
.Leaves skin feeling tingly and refreshed -- although that might just be the chemicals eating away at my flesh.
.Adorable design. Fits right in my hand.
.Kinda fun to mess around with and hear it buzz.

Cons:
.Takes a while to work up to a lather, and even then there are pathetically little amounts of bubbles. I want my suds!
.Doesn't work. Although that just may be for me, but the white scrubbing pad came off my skin as white as it began with.
.If you're anything like me, who likes taking things apart, the Wave doesn't leave much to the imagination.
.Very wasteful. The cleaning pads are one-use only, and the Wave itself only comes with 21 pads. To be honest, they aren't as phenomenal and amazing as one would expect. They're just the same ol' Neutrogena stuff packed into a little circular piece of fluff.

Little urks:

I am INSANELY tempted to place it on the floor like Vanessa does on the commercial and see if the thing will buzz across the floor. Too bad that would be unsanitary.

My male roommate now looks at me funny.

The wave is fun to play with, and for someone with worse skin than I do, it might even work. If you're looking for a serious skin-cleaning tool, skip the wave and invest on a REAL face vibrator. If you just feel like splurging, the wave is essentially a toy. One which I will probably tire of soon, but, hey, I have a friend who's willing to buy. :]
