LUMINESS AIR Advertising is false. Does not cost 29.95. Cost $400.00 texas

My wife suffered a very severe stroke 2.10 years ago and is paralyzed on the left side.  I alway try to find new things that can make her feel that her life is remotely as similar to what her life was.  Or at least make it easier to do things on her own.

I am generally very generous at christmas as my wife is very big on beauty products.  She was a runway model in her younger years and has always tried to look as glamorous as she could.  At 53, when she had a her stroke, she was still turning heads and looking very sexy.  I purchase her all the new perfumes and anything she may have seen on TV that she may want.  I love my wife very much and want to make her as happy as I can while I have her.

Because of her situation, I thought that buying this product would help her put make up on again as she can not hold the compact (foundation) and apply the foundation to her face at the same time.  It generally takes two hands or you have to tape the foundation compact to the counter as it moves when you wipe the applicator on the powder. 

I purchased it as more of a gimick make up kit she could try..  As advertized, i thought, 29.95, why not.  I ended up upgrading the system for 10 dollars and getting her a few more items just to make the gift more exciting.

We tried to use the system, but she was not as impressed as I had hopped.  Not at any fault of Luminess.  She is just not interested in putting make-up anymore.  She figures no one is looking at her anymore anyways.  She says that they only look because she is in a wheelchair.  So, I put it away and did not thing anything else.

Had I known that the amount was going to be $400.00 for a system that my wife may like or may not, I would not have purchased it.

Although I still maintain that I did not notice at any time that the cost was $400.00 for the compressor, I take full responsibility for my purchase.  I think that Luminess should advertise it clearly on TV or on the website that the cost of the machine is far more then ASSUMED.  Before completing the purchase, have the itemized payment of 69 x 5 clearly listed and have a check mark option to make sure it is understood. 

My posting of this rippoff report was inappropriate and should not have taken it out on Luminess.  I should make sure to read the fine print.  Same thing happened to me when I purchased Proactive and I will never do that again.

Luminess has emailed me personally and we have come to an understanding and agree with them that I should be more careful when purchasing items online.

There are many similar product advertising out there that has similar tactic to this one -- has a fine print for 'installment'. Whenever you buy anything online or from TV advertisment, be sure to carefully read everything before you even enter the payment information. This is what these type of business expects you to miss the info, and you would end up paying the price (while they are happily taking your money)...
