"Hi Carl,

Thanks for your inspiring blog. I’ve had similar experiences with products that didn’t meet my expectations, despite positive reviews. It’s frustrating when things don’t work as advertised. Your blog really highlights how important it is to be critical of reviews. Thanks for sharing!"

Hi Carl!

Thanks for your inspiring blog. I’ve recently had a similar experience to yours. I was looking for a red lipstick with a moisturising effect and thought I had found one. The reviews said it scored highest in keeping lips from drying out, which was just what I was looking for. Unfortunately, the first day I used it, by the end of the day my lips were all cracked from dryness. I was so disappointed! I returned it and asked for a refund, just like you did.

I think the Cornell research is right. The reviews I read lacked detail and they were all written in the “I” form. I wish I had read your blog earlier!

Thanks,

Zara
