Carol Perkins: Only $29.99 The too good to be true Free offer was too good to be true. The devil was in the details, Carol Perkins discovered, with this caveat about Tv hustles (holds true for other media, including internet. -CM) The details on the $29.95 steal were, in reality, more like the price of an airline ticket to Texas. But to know details of the rest of the story, click on the headline for full column. Carol Perkins columns are frequent features on Sundays with CM By Carol Perkins I was all set to buy it. Guy handed me the phone, read the toll free number from the bottom of the TV screen as I dialed, and handed me his credit card. Only $29.99. Amazing offer for such an item. I predicted it would be more like $150 but then most paid programming items are $19.99 so $29.99 sounded like a steal! This item was straight from famous Hollywood salons, and the method used on all women appearing on magazine covers so they look flawless. I wanted to look flawless, too. After cataract surgery and the vast improvement in my eyesight, I could clearly see the wrinkles under my lower lids and in the corners of my eyes. I had not known they were there and if I could see them, so could those in front of me. Botox was not an option (too many mistakes made with Botox), so this new (to the public) make up system might just be the answer. This small airbrush device was going to change my face. The before and after pictures were impressive. With the help of Photoshop, wrinkles disappeared and birthmarks diminished right before my eyes. Red spots vanished and blemishes evaporated with the pull of the trigger. The more I watched, the more determined I was to possess this item, so I dialed and listened to yet another promo. Why was the girl on the phone trying so hard to sell me this product when I dialed the number TO BUY the product? Soon I understood. The TRIAL offer was $29.99 and after thirty days I could return it and all the make up that came with it. However, if I kept the product, I could make four easy payments of $49.99 and it would be mine! So I hung up. Then I analyzed what would have happened if I had bought the airbrush gun, filled it with make-up and sprayed my face. First of all, if my aim had been off, I would have shot a glob into an eye. It would have gone into my hair, up my nose, into my ears, and on the walls. How could I spray myself without closing my eyes? How could I close my eyes and spray the make up evenly? Someone else spraying my face with the gun might have worked well, but somehow I couldn't see Guy as my make-up artist. Most of us women fancy make up and lipstick and eye shadow. We love to try new products; especially those that have potential to make our skin look fresh and young. Hundreds and maybe thousands of women ordered this airbrush system last Sunday morning, but I can live with a few wrinkles for that price. I may not feel this way in a year or two, but by then it will be for sale at Walmart on the "As Seen On TV" rack. I must admit the process looked intriguing, but not to the tune of an airline ticket to Texas!
