Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition Miracle Dry Oil AKA "Greasy Stuff " (Stuff is a substituted word)
There are four things I know to be true:
1) That is not me in the above photo. But I wish it was!
2) I love Bzzagent and all the campaigns they let me into and the products they let me try.
3) I love myself some shine spray. I use it at least several times a week and am always open to trying new brands.
4) When I see Garnier Fructis Nutrition Miracle Dry Oil on my hair and skin, it makes me want to:
a) Stab my eyes out.
b) Curl up into a ball and cry.
c) Hurl myself off a 100 story building and then skid down the sidewalk on my greasy skin/hair all the way into a very deep river.
d) All of the above.
(the answer is d, my friends, in case you were wondering)
When the bottle arrived, I was really eager to try it out. It comes in the typical Garnier bottle and being that it is oil, it is all shiny and pretty.
See? Look how pretty and shiny that is! Especially for a low, drugstore price (around $6.00 I believe). It also smells pretty darn good, which is something Garnier products always does a pretty good job of.
I wanted to dress up extra nice for work on Friday. There was no event or anything, but it was Friday and that was reason enough to make me feel good. I got up extra early to shower and actually blow dry my hair instead of leaving the house with it wet. After blow drying it, it looked so nice that I was hesitant to use the spray but figured "Hey, would Garnier (said with that floofy accent used in the commercials of course) let me down? HECK NO!"
Let me tell you what. HECK YES it would. I looked like I had not washed my hair in a month. No. Let me rephrase that. I looked like I had gone out for the night drinking, slept over the toilet, woken up, and then went about my daily life minus the hair washing for a month. It was horrible. What was even more horrible was the fact that I had no time to wash my hair again and had to settle for frantically cupping water in my hands and throwing the water over my head while blotting (and then scrubbing) my hair with a towel and praying the oil would disappear. While I made myself semi-presentable for work, I still looked like I had the 3-4 day greasies. Gross.
I wasn't ready to give up yet, however. Maybe my skin would be more receptive to Garnier (Gar - knee - aaaaaaaaaaa I mean).
Then again...maybe not. I do not want my skin to look like this unless I am trying out for the role of a 1980's beach babe wearing nothing but a bikini and baby oil. Note: I do not plan to try out for this role anytime soon (80's movies are on their way out, you know). I tried to wipe it off with a bath towel but this "stuff" transfers everywhere. My laptop was covered in greasy smudges. I wiped it down (with - I'll admit it - my daughter's baby doll's blanket as it was the closest thing) and removed the smudges. I then washed my hands, ate supper, washed my hands again, and came back to write my review. MORE SMUDGES. I don't even know how this is possible unless it sunk into my pores (uh...do wrists have pores?) and is now oozing out all over everything.
This is a thumbs down for me. A one star (or no star where possible). I can't recommend this to anyone. Unless I hate them. Or want to pull a practical joke on them. "Hey, try this spray. Your hair will be so silky and gorgeous. APRIL FOOLS!"
