recent disappointing purchases...

So... I dont like to be a negative nancy but not every product I buy is going to be a god-send, so I've racked up a mini list of purchases I've made that I regret. So incase you do go out to buy any of these products, my opinion may help. Hope you like! X

Biore Cleanser - I bought this on a whim as my pores have recently become more visible, as it said charcoal cleanser I thought it would vigorously remove dirt from my pores, gross but true. Any-hows, on first impressions this product stung my face, not just a cooling sensation, STUNG. And if I thought that was bad enough, my nose has broke out so bad! I never get spots in this area, so I instantly knew it was because of this product. And that is why I wont be using this product again.

Collection Loose Powder - I know I mentioned in my 'First Impressions' Haul that I was impressed with this product as it was great for baking the under eyes. But here's where it all goes downhill. After using it a fair few times my under-eyes were dryer than the Sahara dessert.. Only now has my skin revived itself with layer upon layer of eye cream. In this case, you get what you pay for.

Rimmel Sexy Curves Mascara - I used to love this mascara back in the day. it was my holy grail & my go - to. They discontinued it so my excitement when I found it in an outlet was intense. But damn its just not like it used too be! It seems clumpy on the lashes & it doesn't seem to dry, at all. I just cant seem to work with it which is so annoying! And that is why I regret purchasing this product.

Mac X8 Palette - I think MAC eye shadows are one of the best on the market. So when I found this cute palette for £30 in MAC, I thought, bargain! But no no no, the eye shadows are so chalky on swatch & I just could not seem to blend them on the eye! I blend until my arm hurts, but then the shadows just turn muddy, eugh. I was so disappointed as I usually love their shadows, but this was just a let down.

Maybelline Brow Satin - I think Maybelline just went the completely wrong way on their version of the brow wiz trend. The pencil itself is chalky and hard to work with. So I tried part two to this product, that being the sponge applicator for 'filling in', but no that in itself had no pigmentation & the concept of it just did not work for my sparse brows. Might work for someone with naturally great brows, but not me unfortunately!

So ovbiously these opinions are only mine and these products may not work for me but do work for you, so I'm not saying don't purchase but again just thought I'd share my thoughts with you! Thanks for reading lovelies X
