Meretricious
<merr-reh-trish-shush>
cheap; gaudy; fake;
faking something in a flashy or false way.
Her clothes were meretricious in nature. They looked expensive but they were cheap.
Memory trick:
meretricious reminds of "mere tricks us".
Used at work:
Your business cards are meretricious. They look good even though you printed them yourself.
