For the past couple of years I've been somewhat of an insomniac, and this has given me the opportunity to view many, many infomercials. I believe any and all claims on these infomercials. I've even purchased a few things I saw on an infomercial. I have a giant list of items I want, some of which I have heard aren't that stellar, but because the commercial is so convincing I want them anyway.
Bare Minerals or Sheer Cover I've actually tried Bare Minerals, and it wasn't the miracle it claims to be, but I still want it. Sheer Cover looks promising?
Pro-Activ Jessica Simpson, Jennifer Love Hewitt, and now even Alyssa Milano say that it is amazing, so how can I go wrong? I don't even have that much acne, but I'm sure I still need it.
Magic Bullet I don't like to cook, but I just know this little gadget will be so fun that I will WANT to cook. Gourmet chef overnight because of this product, I can feel it.
GT Express 101 YUM! Again, I'm sure this will inspire me to cook lots of yummy meals that I was previously lousy at preparing.
KABOOM! The name says it all!
Luminess Air I'm positive that this would be easy and not at all messy. I'm going to look FLAWLESS!
Back 2 Life I have a herniated disc that was been causing me pain since December of last year. Never mind that I have seen multiple heathcare providers regarding this condition, and read every book I could find on the subject, I am sure that THIS is the cure I've been looking for!
InStyler I saw a professional hairstylist for American Idol use this on Kimberly Locke's hair and he said that it is the most amazing product he has ever used. So I am sure that using this to straighten my extremely thick and very naturally curly/frizzy hair(no, I don't still perm my hair people, I know it isn't the early 90's anymore) is going to be a piece of cake. Maybe it comes with an extra set of hands and eyes in the back of my head.
Buxton Bag Sure it is ugly, but I've got a lot of crap to carry! And that digital message reminder! I really need that!
Nu Wave Oven When I was a kid we had a countertop convection oven and it was da bomb! All we ever cooked in it was cherry and apple turnovers my mom bought from the Schwann Man, but those were the tastiest turnovers I ever ate! I know this product will be just as amazing. It is so versatile!
Betty Crocker Bake 'n Fill It looks like fun. I'm sure I'll be whipping up yummy desserts that I'll later consume all by myself in no time!
Direct Buy Centers I'm sure if I spend money to become a member that I will find all sorts of things I need to decorate my home with.
Sleep Number Bed I like the bed hard, Nash likes it soft. So we need this bed.
There are these new lids with a white rim and clear stuff in the middle that I want too, but I can't remember the name right now. There are several other products that I want, but I'll just stop here for now since I could go on for days with this list. Here are some things I have purchased because of the infomercial:
Cable Flex Jackie Chan made it look amazing. I used it like 3 times.
MaxiGlide It worked great. I used it maybe 7-10 times and then the top plate burned out. This is why I need the InStyler now.
TAE BO Purchased on VHS. Great dust collectors.
Total Gym We got it about six months ago, part of the logic was that because I was having the problems with my back/leg I needed the exercise. I have ALWAYS wanted a Total Gym. It was the top of my list of things I really need because the infomercial is awesome and Chuck Norris is totally convincing. Well, I've yet to use it and it is currently collecting dust under the futon. We did get it on eBay through the scratch and dent division, so it was 1/2 price. I keep vowing to use it. Dragging it out and setting it up is a workout in itself!

Funny! I love my magic bullet. I did HATE sheer cover makeup though. I love pur minerals from ulta though. Cuz, bare minerals was ok for me but I looked shiny so I asked them and they said go with Pur so yeah.
Thanks Rochelle. Good to know!
I've tried the Magic Bullet, not that impressed. I also have Tae Bo. I have LOVED it!! I couldn't stay up late enough to watch an infomercial if I wanted too!! lol!
I am so the same I always want to buy everything because they have me convinced. The ones I have tried are the magic bullet which is good for orange juilus but SUCKS at chopping onoins or peppers it makes them all slimy. Bare minerals do not make me look like I have the airbrushed look but do add some color when needed!
You are so funny!
My comments on your infomercial obsession:
Bare Minerals - tried it, because my sister-in-law uses it. It vaguely covered my rosacea, but just the thought of the tediousness of putting on powder everyday exhausted me. I want to automatically be beautiful, not have to work at it. I remain a mascara-only girl.
Pro-Activ - made my occasional acne worse. In fact, it was the worst acne I ever had and I broke out in areas I had never broken out. Maybe it's because I used the cheap Sam's Club knock-off, I don't know.
Kaboom - unless it's going to grow legs and walk into my bathroom and clean all by itself, it's not going to help me.
Buxton Bag - I thought this looked awesome, but I realized I don't have a busy and exciting enough life to put all kinds of crap into a purse.
Bake 'n Fill - Again, looked awesome, but I realized that the name alone completely described exactly what I'd do. Bake, and then fill myself up.
Direct Buy - totally a timeshare-like scam, or so I've read online.
Total Gym - Ahh, exercise machines. We bought a Crossbow, which is a cheap knock-off of the Bowflex (we like cheap knock-offs). It is also the reason we needed to buy a bigger house. That monster took up an entire bedroom. Now it sits in the basement, untouched, unless Bruce is in another weight-loss competition at work. He's the champ 2 years running, though.
Thanks for the laugh Christy. You need a blog.
