    Sarah, I was about to buy some of their products but felt like they were a little sketchy. In trying to find out more, I found your videos, and I’m so glad I did! Thanks for doing all this research and sharing!

    Unfortunately, I bought both the hair remover and the Booty Boost mask too late before I saw all these negative reviews. The Booty Boost mask made my skin burn really bad! I don't know if it's just my skin, but I feel like it's probably their product. I can't seem to find any other reviews on the mask though, to see if others also experienced burning sensations when using it.

    • @thefitcookie

      I'm glad you mentioned the Booty Boost mask burning because after I did this video, I saw that they added a "help center" to their website. The page for the Booty Boost Mask says that the "heating sensation" is caused by capsaicin (cayenne pepper extract), and as of the time of my writing this comment, they have absolutely NO mention of capsaicin in their product on the Booty Boost Mask shop page. They don't even have a full list of ingredients on the product page. So people with sensitive skin who are buying this thinking they are only getting something with caffeine, collagen, and grapefruit extract (the only ingredients listed on the product page currently), will be in for a surprise when they get it and it has cayenne extract in it. Other skin products I've seen have cayenne but it should be disclosed since not everyone may be able to tolerate it on their skin. Bleame's lack of transparency in just about everything is nauseating.

      Because there are such products
      And the burning sensation doesn’t last long either
      Just for a moment then it disappears, but the smell of it is horrible..
      Oh well.. it’s sad that I fell into this trap…

    mine was just delivered & im going to send it back without opening the package (i read all the negative reviews a little too late unfortunately) to ensure a proper refund. any tips on the email? would anything scare them into giving me a full refund?

    • @thefitcookie
      @thefitcookie  Рік тому +1

      I'd email them and let them know you'd like to return it unopened for a full refund referencing their 30-day money back guarantee (they had this "guarantee" stamp on some of their product images). If they push back, you can mention that they have a 30 day guarantee and the product is unopened and unused, you could also mention that you discovered their false advertising and would not have purchased their product if they had not falsified reviews and removed people's honest feedback from their website and social channels. If push comes to shove you can always file reports with Better Business Bureau and the FTC and mention that to them as well.

    It could be people that were testing it? Just an idea.

    • @thefitcookie
      @thefitcookie  Рік тому

      I covered that in this video if you watched all of it. The “reviews” were more than the number of testers they claimed to have, plus any testers are required to disclose receiving free product in reviews according to FTC rules. I found multiple copy and pasted reviews as well. Bleame often claims they have “clinical” tests on their eraser, which is not true (I covered this in my blog post), so they make claims about testing their products when they don’t, they just pick products to drop ship. They don’t actually create/manufacture these products themselves and test them.
      They also claim on the product page that they have over 500K customers for this product, when I saw that it was only 10 days after release. I can guarantee they don’t have 500K testers and only 111 tester reviews, which no one properly disclosed. It’s all a scam, and I suspect quite a few drop shippers do the same thing.

    I get it... but this is the nature of the world we live in right now. Target does this stuff too, Amazon does it... tons of major companies do this stuff. Does that make it right? No, but I would love to see you over analyze other companies or products in this manner. Just such a weird thing to get obsessed over when there are a million instagram products that are so much more questionable.

    • @thefitcookie
      @thefitcookie  Рік тому +3

      "Over analyze" 😂 It's called research, something I do very well.
      According to your logic, if I decided to tell the truth about one company that hurt me, I'd have to expose every single company on earth who ever did something wrong, too? That's not how life works. I don't have to fight for every single cause because the one I picked offends you. I had a bad experience with THIS company so I'm telling people about it. That doesn't mean I have to now do research on every other company that might be bad because you told me to. There are lots of bad companies out there, but I'm sharing about the one that I actually have experience with.
      And I'm doing this because I don't want to see people injured and scammed. If not wanting to see other people get hurt and scammed is "obsessed", well then I'll gladly accept that accusation.
