I Followed Posting Rules Scummy and misleading practices by Foxtale Spoiler

Thumbnail gallery
5 Upvotes

I recently got a Foxtale voucher which said I could buy any 3 products @ 1099 rupees so I thought I’d buy some sunscreen and vitamin C only to find out the prices get changed once you go to checkout.

The collagen serum is listed as 591 rupees after discount but it immediately gets changed to the original price once I go checkout. Moreover, it says there is a bundle deal where I can get a sunscreen for 54 rupees if I buy it along with the collagen but as you can see, that combo does not exist since when I add the sunscreen and the collagen, neither does the price get discounted, nor does the bundle deal get applied.

It also says I will recieve 3 gifts on my order of 1099 but during checkout, 2 of those get automatically removed with no way to add them back.

They also ask for my number and strictly state that they will only use it for order updates and NO SPAM but they have been constantly sending me spam messages and promotions daily.

Foxtale really needs a decent marketing team because these pathetic bait and switch tactics will discourage customers like me from buying even if their prices are cheaper than the other competitors.

Having said this, there is no way I will ever support a scummy company like this and you guys shouldn’t either.

I Followed Posting Rules Recommendations for a colourprotecting shampoo and conditioner? My hair colour is already fading after one wash 😭 Spoiler

Post image
• Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I recently coloured my hair using Paradyes in the shade Espresso Brown, and I’m looking for recommendations for a good colour-protecting shampoo and conditioner.

I washed my hair just once after colouring it, and I’ve already noticed the colour fading from one section of my hair. 😭

Here’s my current hair-care routine:

Shampoo: L’Oréal Collagen Lifter Shampoo (this suits my hair really well)

Conditioner: Re’equil Babassu Oil Conditioner

Serum: L’Oréal Collagen Lifter Serum

I’m not sure if my current shampoo is contributing to the colour fading, so I’m considering switching to a colour-protecting shampoo and conditioner.

Please recommend products that actually help preserve hair colour. I’d also love to hear about your personal experiences with them!

A few questions:

- Which colour-protecting shampoo and conditioner have worked best for you?

- Are sulphate-free shampoos necessary for maintaining hair colour?

- Is it normal for Paradyes Espresso Brown to fade after just one wash, or could my current shampoo be the reason?

- Should I switch both my shampoo and conditioner, or would changing just the shampoo be enough?

I’d prefer products that clean the scalp properly without stripping the colour too quickly.

Thanks in advance! ❤️

I Didnt Follow Rules,Want to Post Anyway. 5 Reports Removes This Help finding good hair products for texture and volume Spoiler

Thumbnail gallery
• Upvotes

So i just got a haircut like an hour ago and fir some reason it's super flat and lacks any sort of volume asked for a mullet and got this result instead, previous my hair did have some more volume but not much so I'm wondering if there's any products I can use to give it that messy textured look. Provide photos both before and after cut. I did some research and am thinking of a texture powder or sea salt spray and just wondering if there's any good ones out there

Also if someone could help me figure out my hair type that would be appreciated.

Sorry if the flair is wrong I'm honestly kinda dumb.

Pls help🙏 also if you notice my skin got better or any difference pls let me know! TIA♥️

I especially want to fix the creases and scars. I understand laser would be required for the deeper scars but I want to know the absolute best state I can reach prior to that.

Current routine:

AM:
Moiser FM
Photostable Gold Sunscreen
Ethiglo face wash

PM:
Acnetor AD (Clindamycin and Adapalene Gel) over the creases and acne scars.
Ethiglo face wash

I was prescribed lumivoid ultra and I used it for around 6 months to no real results.

I’ve moved cities to a student town and I’m not sure of the dermat options here.

My previous dermat doesn’t do online consultations, so until I can go get a secondary consult I’d like to know if there are any changes I could make to my routine or add something to have improvements.

I would really like help in finding alternatives, especially something where I can save a little as I’m a student rn.

Does this product really work? Give honest reviews please! I have been using this for a week as i got a few prominent pimples, i have tried so hard to not pop them and applied this religiously but they have also left the mark. The paste though has helped in drying up the pimples, it is not doing much for the marks.
