This is the WORST product I have *EVER* tried in my history of trying out beauty products over my entire life and I’m simply making this post in the hopes that it reaches someone before they spend their money on this for themselves or for someone else. Or maybe you got this product as a gift and were going to use it.
DO. NOT. USE. THIS. PRODUCT. The BLAQ Meteor Shower Shimmer Scrub is absolute trash.
I was intrigued because it’s a shimmer scrub and I’m easily suckered in by anything glittery and holographic like the packaging on this one. The instructions indicate that the scrub will turn your skin grey but that you shouldn’t worry because it’ll easily rinse off with water. WOW WHAT A LIE THAT WAS.
Behold… my leg in the shower:
This was after trying to rinse it off with just hot water. No dice.
You can actually SEE the beads of water repelling off my skin in the picture above. This is because there’s some kind of oil in the product that makes the black gunk adhere to the skin… essentially locking it in place and forming a waterproof casing on my leg. IT’S LIKE FREAKING TAR.
So I used another sugar scrub to remove it. And my loofah. And soap. And body wash. It was barely moving, and I was fifteen minutes into scrubbing!
I finally stopped scrubbing, got out of the shower and started towelling off with the hopes that my towel would help me out with removal. All of these different methods of scrubbing did remove the bulk of the product, but I was still left with lightly grey tinted legs. I look FILTHY. Like I’d been rolling around in mud at the soccer field for the last two hours.
And to make matters worse? It locks into your hair follicles. The shot above is a close up shot I took with my phone of my thigh. Can you even believe what you’re seeing? That black grit has gotten into my hair follicles!
I’m ENRAGED. In all of my years of trying beauty products (not just in my blogging “career”) I have never encountered a more GARBAGE product than this one. Not only did it stain my skin, but it also ruined my shower loofah (I’ve since thrown it out), stained my bath tub grey (it’s day later and I’m STILL trying to get it out) and all of my towels had to be laundered. How this pure shit of a beauty product made it out of QA testing and out on to the market is an absolute travesty.
DO NOT BUY THIS. DO NOT USE IT. DO NOT GO ANYWHERE NEAR THE BLAQ METEOR SHOWER SHIMMER SCRUB.
