We can't be friends… Disappointing products!

Sorry to return on a kind of a sour note with this disappointing products, but I have been wanting to do this in a while.

These disappointing products are always hard, because it is so much personal preference (just as favourites) - but I still think, they have their merit, as it can be some kind of indicator if several people mention as product in a disappointing/favourite products.

Common for all of the products below are, that I had quite high hopes for them for several different reasons though.

I have really dry skin, to the point where it often itch uncontrollably - and I have noticed, that what body wash, I use, have a big influence on this.
So when I came across the Yes to Blueberries Ultra Hydrating Body Wash on ASOS, I put it in my basket right away.
I was so hopeful that this was going to be it, but I was let down. It does absolutely nothing for my skin and the smell is in my opinion very far from blueberries and lavender!
I'll use it up, but it does make my skin itch and I think, the & Other Stories Shower Gel, I usually use is much better!

When I got my long bob back in January, I got very into trying hair styling products.
In my quest for my new favourites, I got the Bumble and Bumble Texture Creme, which had really good reviews online.
But it just made my hair crispy and weird, and I found it really hard to distribute in my hair.

I love the Sephora brushes, and even though this Sephora Pro Domed Stippling Brush was not on my Sephora shopping list, when I was in the U.S., I couldn't resist.
The brush itself is good, not great though, but it just sheds like a motherf****r.
I was hoping a brush wash would help to get away all the loose hair, but no.
Had I still been in the U.S., I would have returned it!

The Oskia Renaissance Cleansing Gel is a staple in my skincare routine, so I was so exited, when I got the Oskia Micro Exfoliating Balm for Christmas last year - firstly because it was Oskia, but I also really loved the idea of an exfoliating balm.
However this was way to harsh on my skin - it feels like rubbing a handful of beach sand on your face.
I have made it work by mixing it with the Renaissance Cleansing Gel, but still I don't feel like it really make that much of a difference on my skin, besides making it red and a bit irritated.
It was so expensive, that I can't bear to get rid of it, but I have to admit, I don't really use it, and I would not repurchase it!

Lastly a real blogger favourite, the Lavanila Pure Vanilla Healthy Deodorant.
Without being to TMI and going to much into the odour talk, lets just say this didn't work for me at all and I really didn't like the scent.

So hopefully this will spare you some bad buys.
What product have disappointed you recently?
