Products I Don't Like #1

Hello there!

I'm back! Did you miss me? Today I thought I'd do something I haven't really done before. I feel as though most of the reviews I do on this blog are positive, so I thought I would highlight a few I haven't really liked. I was hard to muster these products up because I generally throw things away if I hate them, but if you guys like this kind of review I'll keep things that don't work for the future. These reviews are not trying to tell you that your opinion is wrong, it's just what doesn't work for me and my opinion.

1. Yes To Cucumbers Facial Towelettes

This may be a controversial one, but to start of with I don't like cucumbers, taste or smell, so I'm not sure why I thought this was the right product for me. These aren't soothing at all, if anything they irritate my skin like nothing else, they don't remove makeup well, especially eye makeup. If you like cucumber and have skin that isn't sensitive, these should be fine for you I think. I used these up because I ran out of the Neutrogena Night Calming wipes that I have loved for years.

2. Revlon Photoready Eye Primer + Brightener in 003

I don't have oil eyelids, but I find that if I don't wear an eyeshadow primer then anything that's a powder will crease like crazy. I used this a few times, and found that if anything, it made matters worse. Also, the applicator doesn't seem very hygienic to me. 

3. Maybelline Baby Lips Color in Berry Crush

This is quite an old product, but I had issues with all the Baby Lips products, even though I bought most of the flavours and colours. This was my favourite one, which is why I still have it, but the formula always dried my lips out, made them peel and looked generally not great.

4. L'Oreal Infallible Stay Fresh Foundation in 130 True Beige

This one was a massive let down. I got the lightest colour for my skin tone, and it was hard to choose the colour as all the shades seemed too yellow or too pink. I hate makeup transfer and I was excited to see how this one would hold up with the claims it makes, and it's actually the worst foundation I've ever tried when it comes to transfer. If I even lightly brushed my face, it would be all over my hands. The thing that made me stop wearing it, and I wore it for three weeks or so, was the fact that it went really orange. I could try mixing it with some Jackie Oates, but I just think it's a bad foundation that has overrated claims.

5. Barry M Lipstick in 151

I bought this on asos recently, and it just didn't work for me at all. The orange shade didn't suit my skin colour and it looked streaky and sat on my lips weirdly. Perhaps if orange suited your complexion better this could work for you, but for me it was a flop.

There you go guys! I hope you didn't find any of this too negative. I just wanted to show you that my opinions are honest and I come across a lot of products I don't like, and that makes my good reviews even more honest. 

Au Revoir!
