DISAPPOINTING BEAUTY PRODUCTS

Having tried out my fair share or beauty products and brands I have found there are some I love and some that just didn't live up expectations. This most is by no means to bash a product or brand but I just wanted to give my opinion on my why these products weren't for me. Many of these products I picked up after hearing other people rave about them and I have since come to the decision that they just aren't suited to me.

Rimmel Volume Colourist Mascara | £7.99 | post

I know I've just included it in my new makeup haul but i'm just not getting on with it. Although, I have noticed my lashes getting slightly darker from the tint the mascara just doesn't give me the volume I'm looking for. I've been applying this as a sort of base to another mascara and to let the tint work. After reading on the Daily Mail people raving about the volume it gave them and how good it looked in the pictures it just hasn't done it for me.

NYX Super Skinny Eye Marker | £8.00

I picked this one up on a whim as I needed a skin black eyeliner and honestly I couldn't be more disappointed in the £8 I spent. As soon asI tried to apply this to my eyelids the tip was so dry and to even get a faint line you have to push and drag so forcefully. I've tried again and again to use this but it's just too dry, i've pretty much come to terms that I may as well throw this away as its pretty much unusable to me.

MAC Studio Fix Fluid | £22.00

I had high hopes for this as so many people use it and rave about it and when I first got it I did use it a lot. However, now after trying out a lot of other foundations me and this just don't get along. I have found it sits on my skin rather than blending in, I also found that even though it states that it controls oil my face seems to appear more greasy. I still keep using this to see if it works on my skin at different types but every time I wear it I regret it.

Bourjois Air Mat Foundation | £9.99

I actually find this formula to be similar to the MAC one where it sits heavy on my skin and it takes me ages to blend this one in. By the end of the day I feel like half of this has worn away or gone streaky, even with a good primer and setting spray. I have come to conclusion that this just doesn't match with my skin type as lots of other people have raved about it.

NYX Tint and Frame Brow Pomade | £5.50

This is by no means a bad product and I do still use it, however, I bought this one as an alternative to the ABH DipBrow Pomade. Im comparison to the ABH one this isn't as creamy or easy to apply as I wanted. The formula seems to be a lot drier and you have to be quite forceful when applying to the brows, whereas the ABH one applies so smoothly with little pressure. 

NARS Lip Gloss | £19.50

Again this isn't a bad product and I do use it! However, this smell of this is so off putting and not at all what you would expect from a high end product. The smell is very plastic and chemically to me and if you're paying almost £20 for a lip gloss I want it to smell sweet and luxurious.

What products have you be disappointed by?
