Deal or no Deal – Spy & Stalk Edition

Remember the other week we posted a deal or no deal that had to do with paying people dressed up as paparazzi to chase you around? Here is this week’s deal regarding paying to SPY on people for fun. SAY WHAT?! Check it out below:

Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to pay to spy on friends and family for fun. That sounds a little weird, doesn’t it? Does it come with a restraining order?

Running around in spy gear and being a creeper doesn’t sound thrilling to us. This has been stamped a deal FAIL!

Deal or no Deal – Men’s Brazilian Wax?!

The title of this post says it all. Let’s get straight to today’s deal:

Let’s Evaluate:

The first thing that runs through my mind is YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!

LifestaLarry's reaction to the deal

I did not even know this existed. It sounds so painful and I don’t want to Google what exactly is entailed in a ‘Men’s Full Brazilian Wax.” I’m scared to see the results. Is this a new craze? If I did this, is the price of the anethesia included?! If so, they at least could have been creative with the name and called it a ‘Bro-zilian Wax!’

This is a DEAL FAIL for all the reasons you can think of!

Deal or no Deal – Another Chocolate Mess

What a grand mess this is. We thought that we have seen the worst of these chocolate deals. Now I am not saying that chocolate is bad or gross, but the way these Groupon deals and salons incorporate chocolate gives me nightmares! Check out this deal below:

Let’s evaluate: Last time we wrote about an epic deal fail regarding chocolate and massages, we were blown away. This deal however takes the (chocolate) cake! First of all, the deal points out that there is a ‘24k gold leaf solution’ that is incorporated to the chocolate mix.  How is this supposed to ‘lift and rejuvenate’. If people wanted gold on their head, wouldn’t they be in the form of gold earrings? Another part of this deal is a chocolate scrub for your feet. That doesn’t seem like a good experience, and the aroma wouldn’t be pleasant. You might as well just put your feet in the mud for free! One of the saving graces for this deal is that once you are at the salon, you will be served a complimentary chocolate martini. I always love a good cocktail!

Overall, this has been stamped a chocolate deal FAIL! Get the hint Groupon! These deals don’t sell very well, the descriptions are scary, and most importantly, leave chocolate alone! We love daily deals, but think about how much quality chocolate you can get for $125 and even cover shipping?! Our friends at Lindt Chocolates can help us with that. Or maybe there’s even a chocolate deal or two on Lifesta available!

Deal or No Deal – Baby Edition

I really wanted this deal to be a WIN! This deal on tickets to the SF Birth and Baby Fair rubs us the wrong way. The way that Juicy in the City describes this deal is what makes it so unappealing!

Let’s Evaluate: Being amongst hundreds of ‘swollen bellies’ sounds like it hurts, or maybe I will get a stomachache or something. When they refer to the birth specialists that will be there as ‘peeps’, it really takes away all credibility. If this is THE premier event of the season, why are tickets only going for $8? This deal description does a disservice to pregnant women and how beautiful they are! Enjoy your pregnancy and babies at home ladies. Unfortunately this is a deal FAIL.

Deal or No Deal – ‘Vajazzle’ Groupon

It must be Friday the 13^th, because this next deal is a complete nightmare! This Groupon comes to you straight from the UK, and things over there are a little less strict, which is why they can probably get away with it. Check it out below:

Let’s Evaluate: Yes, it’s yours for the taking, ladies. If you’re in London, you can have yourself bajazzled for just 19 Euros. If that shiny glitter is what caught your eye, you have to go through the mysterious ‘Bollywood’ wax first. But what exactly is a Bollywood wax? Where does the Katy Perry nail polish fit into all of this? This is another deal that begs the question, ‘WHAT AM I GETTING MYSELF INTO?’ This is an instant deal fail for us. Stay classy, Groupon.

"I'm Katy Perry and I Approve This Groupon!"

So what do you think of this deal? Do you think it would fly if this Groupon were available in the US? Post a comment!

Deal or no Deal – Hair Removal Edition

It’s that day of the week that we have all been waiting for! ‘Deal or no Deal Fridays’ turn out to be one of the top highlights each week for us here at Lifesta. With that said, its another week and another highlight! Deals that have to do with waxings and hair removals always have the potential to be quite interesting. So check out this week’s deal which was recently listed on LivingSocial:

Let’s evaluate:  The first thing that pops out in our minds is what we would redeem with this deal. What exactly does ‘half leg’ wax mean? Does that mean you can only have the front half of your legs waxed, and the back would be hairy? If that’s the case, you might as well get creative and wax your legs with a zebra or stripe pattern! Let’s start a trend! Also, the last 2 sentences are completely baffling. It mentions that the salon uses a paste made of lemon, sugar, and water to gently remove all unwanted hair. They then proceed to tell us all of that is edible! Are they hinting at the fact that you can recycle all of this and consume the paste, ALONG WITH your removed hair?!

Why don’t we cut to the chase here….this is a deal FAIL!

Deal or no Deal Friday

The talk of the world today has been Kate Middleton, her dress (was it a hit or miss? There’s a debate here in the Lifesta office), the makeup she did herself, and everything else related to the royal wedding. However, all the focus on the royal wedding is about to change because of today’s epic ‘Deal or no Deal Friday’. It’s something to remember, just like last week’s chocolate mess!

Check out this deal below:

Let’s evaluate: For the first time in ‘Deal or No Deal’ history, we are going to instantly stamp this a deal FAIL solely based on the photo itself. If you are trying to promote makeup, it’s wise to choose a photo that makes people want to buy the deal, not run away screaming from it! The last thing I want to do is look into those eyes…or else I fear I will turn into stone! Kate Middleton would definitely not approve of this, and it goes to show that sometimes doing your own makeup can be a good thing. We say save your $55 bucks and treat yourself to something more appealing!

At least our founding father’s found this deal useful….

Happy Friday everyone,

Larry
