scrubbing m'face off

Has anyone yet experienced the wonder that is the Nutritioniste Regenerating Micro-Polishing Kit? When the line first came out, I mocked it for its faux french branding. So like the sucker I am, I bought it. All $17.99 of it for 4oz of scrubbity goodness. I am a marketers dream come true. I believe in spontaneous purchase decisions based largely on the hotness of the packaging. And yes, I know full well that it's overpriced and vain but that wont stop me from forking over half my paycheck if a product will provide the promise, or at minimum imply the possibility, of looking like my my cheeks crawled off a baby's butt and stuck to my face. Anyway, so I used it. And I swear to you I followed the directions exactly. Everything appeared to be going well until I glanced up in the mirror and I kid you not thought "oh sweet jesus, I scrubbed my face off". I have never, ever in my life, seen such red skin and that includes the time mistook SPF 5 for SPF 45 and fell asleep in the sun.
