We all have them - Product we've bought with big hopes and happiness, and then they just let us down!
I'm normally quite good at researching and getting samples, so that I avoid a lot of wrong purchases.
However to avoid it totally, when you buy as much as I do, is impossible!
So to spare you the same disappointment, I thought, that I would tell you about the products, I regret buying!
Please note, that every one has different experiences with a product, so some of the products below, might be you favourite. This is just my opinion!
Skin- and haircare:
Skin- and haircare:
1. Body Shop Rainforest Radiance Detangling Spray:
I brought this, because in my time of "hair"-need, this was the only detangling spray, I could find at a reasonable price.
It smells so good, but that is pretty much the only good thing about it.
It doesn't detangle your hair in any way!
In stead I prefer the Goodwell Leave in treatment (see my review here) or the Healthy Sexy Hair Soy Tri-Wheat Leave in conditioner, which I'm using right now.
2. This Works Clean Skin 5-in-1 Water:
I have mentioned it before, but this product have really been one of the the biggest regrets, I had this year.
I really do not like it, and can't find a use for it... Well may I could clean my toilet with it?? :-)
My skin is sensitive and so is my eye area, but I had heard so many good things about it, so I didn't think it would be a problem, but it was.
So if you have sensitive skin, I would recommend a oil make up remover in stead, I'm using the Bio Beauté Make-up remover (see my review here).
3. JorgObé Peel Off Mask:
I not sure, if this product is available outside Denmark, but I do have a few danish readers, so I'm adding it in anyway.
I got persuaded by an add on Facebook, it just looked very good and had great reviews.
I don't have a big issue with the product, but I do not think that it's amazing in any way.
I didn't see any big changes in my skin.
So combine this, with the fact that it's a big mess, I will not be using this product again.
It's a black mask, and when it dries, you should be able to peel it of.
But is goes every where, and when it comes in contact with water, it dissolves and leaves a big mess!
In stead I have been using the Ren Invisible Pores Detox Mask, and I love it.
4. Neutrogena Pink Grapefruit Daily Scrub:
I had been wanting to try this for such a long time, so when I found it on a trip to Germany, I have to try it.
It's not a bad product, it just doesn't do anything for my skin, good or bad.
And I do not care for the smell - but that's probably my own mistake, I should have known, that it would smell like grape fruit, and I actually don't like those kind lemon scents.
However I love the Neutrogena Visible Clear Blackhead Eliminating Daily Scrub, I really see a difference in my skin after I dropped the Grape fruit one for that one.
Make up:
1. Maybeline Stylish Smokes (in 02Q Natural smokes and 08Q Emerald Smokes):
I had heard so much about these quads, so I had a friend bringing them back from USA.
I don't know, if they have changed the formulation after they changed the packaging, but I really don't think, they are worth the hype!
I think they are very chalky and not very pigmented.
So if you are looking for a good budget eye shadows would I recommend Wet n' wild in stead, which have a great selection of natural shades as well.
2. L'Oreal Paris Lumi Magique Base/Primer:
Back when I reviewed this product, I did say, that I didn't like it as a primer, but that I used it for a highlighter (see my review here).
However a few weeks after that post, it turned watery and no matter how much I shook it, it was still watery!
So it has just been hanging out in the back of my drawer, and I will probably never use it again.
3. Barry M Lipstick (no 54/130 - Orange):
There is not much so say, it's just not good.
Very dry and really shows if you have the least bit dry lips.
4. Sephora Blush (no 10 - Romantic rose):
When I did my Sephora haul, I did say, that I didn't really like, and I still don't.
It's very hard to blend and chalky on the cheeks.
And it wasn't even that cheap, then I rather spend a bit more and get a MAC blush or go for a real low budget one from ELF, MUA or something in that price range.
5. L'Oreal Paris Color Infallible (in 002 Hourglass Beige):
A few months back these were very hyped, and off cause I had to try one.
I have tried every possible brush and my fingers to apply it, but I just can't make it work!
When you swatch it with you finger, it looks quite good, but when you apply it to the lid, it just looks weird and patchy!
So this was a long one, I hope you're still with me, and that you found it helpful :-)
