Question:
What's Your Most Disapointing Beauty Buy?
Hi girls:wave:
I know this thread has been done before, but I'm sure there are more to add, as unfortunately; the path to finding HG products means trying out loads of dud buys too.:( If we all post our disapointing beauty buys, hopefully it will help others not make the same mistakes (although opinions are subjective!)
Mine are;
-Dr Hauschka; everything from this range is IMO rubbish. It may be natural, but it gave me ezcema and spots and made my face itch. Also the bath oil aggrivated my skin. My mum tried it as well, and being 21 years older than me, her skin is completely different and she reacted too (and her skin isn't v sensitive).
-Tigi control freak spray and serum-sticky, smell like sweets and tangled up my hair. Contain so much silicone, i had to use detoxifying shampoo for two weeks before my hairdresser could colour my hair.:head:
-Origin's Modern Friction-like putting putty on my face, dried out my skin and stung like hell! Also a teensy bit went in my eye by mistake, and my eye was sore for days.
-The Sanctuary Body Lotion-gave my skin a painful burning sensation everytime I used it.
Think that's it.
Well for this, disappointing is putting it veeeeeery kindly for me lol!!
*Clean & Clear Advantage Quick Clear Daily Treatment Wash - after using a teeny bit to try it out one night, the next day shopping my mum noticed my cheek was a bit swollen... well the next day when I woke up I was like elephant woman :boohoo:! And my face puffed up more each morning for a few days, and went really hot to cold in seconds & was bumpy - one of my eyes were practically closed :boohoo:, very scary experience & totally :o having to brave the public to go to the docs lol!!
Can't really think of anything else at the moment. Nothing's been as bad as that ^ thankfully!!
Ohh actually....
*Ruby & Millie metallic i-writer, in green - only got this as I thought it looked good & had a voucher to use. Wish I didn't now, I think it's rubbish, have used it about twice! It's hard to use as either too much comes out on the brush, or too little, bloody pain!
Dior Show mascara - it did nothing for me at all! A complete waste of money.
Dior eyeshadows - I had high hopes for these but found them to drag and were so unblendable. Was very miffed indeed.
Hmmmm they're all I can think of at the mo!
I bought a MAC Prep & Prime eyeshadow primer which was absolutle rubbish! Didnt make my eyeshadow last any longer whatsoever - it was so faded by the end of the day I looked awful!!! Fortunately I have since found urban decay primer potion which is amazing :throb:
Oh my!! How did I forget diorshow mascara? It's crap. And a rip off!
Also not too impressed with Nivea SOS Lip Balm - it comes out quite a shimmery whitey colour, which can make ur lips look a bit white in places - lovely. And I find it can be quite drying too & doesn't stay on long.
And Lancome Hypnose is another crap, pricey mascara.
