Noxell Corporation Complaint - inferior product

Complaint
Review by sarahzirke@hotmail.com on 2002-04-15
CANADA -- This morning while I was applying a CG SMOOTHERS to my eyelid the inside part which contains the makeup that is applied to the eyelid slipped into the outer part of the product causing the sharp outer layer to scrape my eyelid causing pain and breaking the skin on my eyelid! You should understand that the pencil was sharpened directly before using exposing the inside part at least 3 millimeters above the sharp outer layer. I have never in the 15 years or more of using eyeliner seen an eyeliner fall apart this way. It is dangerous to all of us as consumers. I have been told by different makeup artists that this area of eye should always be treated delicately. My eye is very red, irritated and sore due to this inferior product. It could have been more serious and I am concerned about other consumers who do not know these pencils can cut their eyelids. If I am not satisfied with the way this matter is dealt with I will be sure to share my negative experience with all my friends, relatives and clients. I have always had confidence in the cover girl line however I am not sure I if I do anymore.

To help keep me as a potential future customer, I would like the following:

I expect a prompt responce along with an explaination regarding what Noxell Corp. plans to do about my eye as well as how they plan to prevent this happening to other consumers. I would appreciate an apology along with some sort of compensation for my very sore eyelid which is still bothering me right now as I type this letter over 12 hours later!

At the very least I would like a response from your company regarding this incident. Thank you for your time.

The above; I think your comment is insensitive rude and extrememly immature. Perhaps you should find out what it feels like to be unexpectadly stabbed on your eyelid.You would cerainly deserve it.

Boo hoo. Did the poor little prom queen have a problem with her make up? Now she can't spend all day looking at herself in the mirror.

At least the prom queen is pretty enouph to look into the mirror without smashing it you overweight jelious yankee. Here in Canada we're all beautiful, thin and educated. When you take an airplane my quess is that you get 2 tickets.

How can you claim to be educated and then say that you don't care about grammer? You are obviously a liar.

Who are these people that come on her to critisize someone who is only trying to protect other consumers? Go to a chat line for fat ugly people with no friends and no life. She is right and should be compensated for her misfortune.

If all she is trying to do is help consumers, why is she looking for compensation?
Posted by Anonymous on 2002-04-22:
Perhaps it's because she has a cut on her eyeled. Do you think?

Hey fatso, you should really get back to whatever it is you do all day besides sit on your big fat ass.

Exactly how much compensation do you get for a simple cut on your eyelid.

So it's all about how much money you can get. What a suprise.

Why is someone elses life such a concern of yours? Could it be because you don't have a life? Go and get a life.

This person who has a problem with this complaint sounds like someone who may work for the company. We should all ecpect nothing but the best products from large corporations like noxell.

I completely agree with the filer of this complaint. I, too have not only scratched my eye with this product but developed an irritation from it as well, and my eyelids are red and swollen, I would like to add that I don't develop irritations easily either. And to all the people who responded so disagreeably to this person, I would like to say that it's not easy being beautiful.
