I'm so surprised to hear about beauty readers being mislead - lol. Further proof if needed that beauty reccs in magazines and papers aren't worth the paper they are written on...
It's a shame that the journalist responsible for the piece did not research the company online before featuring it. I do also wonder how such a relatively small company (I'd only read about it on your blog) got awarded the 'best miracle worker' award. Not No 7 Protect & Perfect? (and that has scientifically backed technology.)
This boils my blood. Not only does it show, for want of a better word, crap journalism - regurgitating press releases with little or no actual research - it shows the DM really doesn't care about its readers.
'Oh yes, go and spend your valuable money on this product which will do nothing for you and whilst your at it, burn your wallet you'll be rewarded with the secret to eternal youth.'
Alright, my fat English legs and I are off to calm down now.
Totally ridic. As if I couldn't hate The Daily Mail anymore!
It's sad because although I am safe in the knowledge that my friends (albeit through me) and fellow bloggers are savvy to this kind of thing, a lot of people aren't. Many aren't aware that when they open a magazine (or magazine like section of a newspaper) it is heavily PR driven. It's so misleading.
And as for unprofessional companies, a pet hate of mine. You do NOT abuse someone because they don't like your company. Very low indeed.
Alexia, Rodial doesn't work either. There isn't a single cream on this earth that actually reduces cellulite. Only a genetic re-jiggping will do that. Kate Shapland's list of dubious products includes both.
BBB, funny the Daily Mail says it was a 'best' of 2009. It made it onto my 'worst' list of the year in review 2009: "ADONIA LEG TONE SERUM - YOU. CANNOT. RID. YOURSELF. OF. CELLULITE. WITH. A. SERUM. But if you really believe it's possible, then send me the $100 instead and I'll send you a jar of something that's equally effective. Like taking candy from a baby..."
Grace, I wonder the exact same thing. Where are the double blind trials for Adonia?
And hiding behind an anonymous nasty comment just reveals the bad character (and probably bad business practice/lack of ethics) therein. Oh, the irony.

Great blog post :)
We trialed it at Cult Beauty and founds exactly the same as you, nice smell, but no cigar when it comes banishing the bobbly bits!
It makes one doubt all the other products that were recommended. Has anyone tried the Rodial Bum Lift? What did you think?
