Products that did not work for me #3

Hi guys, today I am sharing some products that did not work for me. Also referred to as disappointing products or products not worth the money/hype. Check out the previous versions HERE

Benefit Roller Lash - I did find this mascara to give good length and curl my lashes, however I found it to be a bit clumpy and did not find it volumizing enough for my liking.

Dove Foaming Makeup Remover - I like the concept of this makeup remover and its particularly good to use in the shower (if you shower at night, then its awesome). I found this makeup remover stung my eyes and its supposed to be working for waterproof eye makeup too so this just did not cut it for me.


EOS Lip Balm - This lip balm is sure cute as a button and I don't mind having it for how it looks. But this does nothing for me as a balm, its more like a gloss.

Kat Von D Tattoo Liner - This is the most disappointing of the lot as I had high expectations of it. I find that this liner slips on my eye shadows and I find it difficult to apply for that reason. Also when I start applying it, I don't find it pigmented enough as if product doesn't come out properly. I much more prefer Maybelline liners to this.

Have you tried any of these products ? What are your thoughts ?

Products that did not work for me #2

Hi guys, today I am sharing some products that did not work for me. Also referred to as disappointing products or products not worth the money/hype. Check out the previous version HERE


MAC Sheertone Dollymix and Peachykeen (41 AUD each)
I bought these two blushes from MAC when my love for makeup started. Peachykeen was my first purchase and when I bought it I did get some good use out of it. However, I gradually realized shimmer blushes were not for me. Both these blushes though beautiful in color have good amount of shimmer in them which is visible on the cheeks and not in a flattering way, at least IMO. This is not a bad product but just not my preferred one. 

Sigma E40 (23 AUD)
E40 is a good brush in terms of the shape and usage, but not sure if I got a bad one or if its the case with all of them. Mine sheds like crazy, to the extent that when I am using it, it sometimes leaves hair on my face and its not fun. 

REN Glycolactic Radiance Renewal Mask (59 AUD)
I have already spoken about this in my high end skincare collective review, so my rant here is pretty much the same. When you give in to the hype and buy things and the product doesn't work for you, you can't help but be disappointed. That's exactly how I feel about this mask. This mask absolutely does nothing for my face. I don't see any difference to how my skin feels nor does it look any brighter. It just feels like I have applied some fancy expensive orange jelly to my face. If you really want to try this mask, I would highly recommend getting yourself a sample first to try. 

Benefit Benetint (55 AUD)
This is not a bad product as such but in my opinion its not worth the hype and the money. I also feel that I have to really pack it for it to show up on my face or cheeks. 

Have you tried these products ? What do you think of them ? Which products did not work for you ?

Products that did not work for me !

Today I am sharing with you the products that are not worth the hype (in my opinion) and did not work for me.

Rimmel  Scandaleyes Kohl Kajal in Nude 
I am big fan of these eye liners, I love the black and bright blue but the nude is definitely not for me. I bought this for lining my waterline thinking it would make by eyes look more bright and awake, but this just did not work for me. It makes me look sick, I believe because the color does not suit me. See my post HERE.

MAC Paint Pots
Now don't get me wrong, I love MAC paint pots, because I love cream eye shadows. I have MAC Paint Pot in Painterly, Indianwood and Rubenesque. I love how easy they are to apply. I heard about how fab these are as bases and that they are long lasting and don't crease. One of the main reasons for buying Painterly was to use it as a primer. But that just don't work for me. They crease, and crease pretty fast on me. I usually wear them with a primer and only then I get them to last a bit longer. I love them as cream shadows but I was disappointed in them as a primer ( I know they are technically not primers, but I had huge expectations as I had seen videos and posts mentioning that) 


 

Lush Snow Fairy*
I may get beaten up for this as I know Lush Snow Fairy is quite a popular shower gel (apologies to all the fans out there). It only comes during Christmas and I know people who love this baby, stock it up during that time. I hate the smell. To me it smells like a cough syrup. It is too sickly sweet for me. 


Bioderma Crealine H20
I may again get beaten up for this too ! I had seen so many reviews about this being the best ever makeup remover and I expected it to work like magic. This may be a good general makeup remover, but definitely not for waterproof makeup. I do wear waterproof eyeliner. This just takes too long to remove, especially the liner and mascara. By the end of the day, I have no patience to spend so much time doing this. So this just doesn't work for me as a makeup remover, however I love it as a cleanser. See my post HERE, comparing it with my favorite makeup remover.


Lush Grease Lightening
This absolutely did nothing for me. I bought it as I thought being Lush it would relatively be a gentle spot treatment. It did nothing to my pimples, nothing at all. 

Have you tried any of these products ? What do you think of them ?  

Please note that, I am not saying that these products are bad or anything as such, they just did not work for me. They may totally work for you.
