Thought for the Day. Rodial. Size Zero. And Bollocks.

*see update at bottom of post

Almost 2 years ago to the day I posted about Rodial and their new product range 'Crash Diet'. 

The same brand have just launched Size Zero.

Fact: No cream can make you a 'size zero'. There is no cream on earth that can get rid of cellulite.

Fact: You'd be better off taking your hard-earned cash and booking a session with a personal trainer. Eat less, exercise more. There. Saved you £55.00.

When I first heard this was coming my first thought was to rant about the retailers who are actually stocking/planning to stock it and their making-money-so-bury-your-head-in-the-sand lack of integrity. Jane from British Beauty Blogger took care of that yesterday.  

So instead, here is my glorious 5'11-embodied-Size 16-arse:

RODIAL: YOU, YOUR SHITTY-WOMEN-HATING MARKETING TEAM, YOUR SIZE ZERO STOCKISTS, ANY MAGAZINE THAT GIVES THIS PRODUCT SPACE ON THEIR PAGE, ANY BLOGGER THAT DARES TO SAY 'THIS ACTUALLY WORKED!' AND MOST OF ALL: YOUR OWNER, CAN KISS IT. 

Just sayin'.


* 16 January 2013 - Rodial were today fined by the ASA for 'misleading advertising, substantiation (lack of)' and 'exaggeration' in an ad placed within Esquire magazine claiming that their Body Sculpture cream would give you a figure like Mila Kunis.... Not their first time.

ASA Ruling

Alrighty then.
