Disappointing Products #1

 

 

 

This is my very first Disappointing products post, and although I feel bad writing negative things about a product, I mean it in an advisable and constructive way. Perhaps you were thinking of buying a product in this post, but now you will be aware that maybe this product doesn't work for me. What I'm trying to say is I'm not just being irrelevantly negative about a product haha! Just putting the disclaimer out there, anyway let's get on with the post!

Soap and Glory Sexy Mother Pucker Lip Gloss in 'Candy Floss'

This lip gloss is not just any old ordinary lip gloss. Oh no, to my surprise when I first applied it, I felt a tingling sensation in my lips; kind of like pins and needles but in my lips. This is what is supposed to happen as that is the feeling it gives when the lip gloss is plumping up your lips. I'm not going to lie I was expecting Kylie Jenner lips explosions, I mean a real noticable difference, but that difference just wasn't there for me. The colour is nice, but it has a sticky and thick consistency and the tingling thing just didn't float my boat.

Sleek Matte Me Lip Cream in 'Petal'

I've mentioned this in my Matte Lips post which you can view here if you are interested. I think the main thing that I am having troubles with about this product is the shade. The shade is a pale pink, which for a matte lip cream I don't think it is ever going to work. When I applied it, I could feel my lips feeling very dry and becoming flaky. Also, as the colour is quite pale, it applied unevenly and a little bit patchy. I think in other bolder and darker shades, these matte me lip creams could be very nice. But they just didn't work for me.

Seventeen Hide and Conceal Concealer

This is quite an old product of mine. I don't really use it anymore purely because I don't think it's very good. It's one of those twisting concealers, where the product comes out at the top through the brush. I don't mind that abiut this concealer, it's the formula I dislike. When I applied it, it was runny and didn't even conceal much. Very low coverage and once blended left quite a patchy consistency on my skin. Overall I wouldn't repurchase it and I wouldn't recommend it either.

Barry M Lip Paint in 52

If you know me, you'll know I love a bit of Barry M. This was one of the first lipsticks I ever bought and oh I how regret it now. I can't believe I thought I neon pink lipstick would look cool on a 12 year old girl. Hahah but seriously, it's not even the shade that puts me off, well actually the fluorescent fushcia isn't really a good look, but it's the matte finish. I find this lipstick to be quite drying and it sticks to my dry patches my lips. I actually really like the Barry M lipsticks as they're not all like this, most of them are actually very moisturising.

Benefit It's Potent Eye Cream
There are some products in Benefit which are a hit, and some which are a miss. For me the It's Potent Eye Cream just does nothing to me and is not worth however much it retails for. Luckily I didn't buy the full size as I got a mini-size in a gift set. It's supposed to brighten up your eye area, but whenever I use it that doesn't happen. If I do use it, it will most probably be as a moisturiser. This eye cream just isn't worth it.

So they are all the products that disappointed me. Thank you for reading this blog post! I hope you enjoyed it and have a nice day, bye! 

 

April Favourites

 

Hey beauties! I cannot believe I am doing my April favourites already! This year is going so quickly, next thing I know it will be December! Anyway as May is here it means it is time for my monthly favourites.

As most of April was the Easter holidays, I was wearing more makeup than what I would normally wear to school, such as eyeshadow. So for my first favourite, I have a Barry M palette called the Natural Glow Shadow and Blush palette. But specifically I have been using one shade which I don't know the name of but it is a bronze colour (the 5th shade.) it's a really natural everyday shade and is really pretty on its own. My most recent blogpost was on Barry m products which included this palette for more photos.

Seeing as it is spring now and the sun is beginning to come out more, I have to protect my freckle prone skin to prevent my skin from getting more freckles. This is the No7 Anti-Dark Spot a Facial Sun Protection. This is basically a sun cream but for your face. It really helps to fade freckles so I like to use it to protect my skin from the sun. I have been using it everyday and it has helped to reduce my freckles. I really recommend this if you have freckles on your face and you are looking for a product to fade them.

The next favourite thing I have been loving last month is the Seventeen (was called 17) Va Va Voom Mascara. This has been my favourite mascara in April and I have been using it non-stop. It really volumises my lashes and also really lengthened them at the same time. They didn't come out clumpy at all and were nice and defined. I actually really like this which I did not think I would when I first got it.

Another Barry M product, it is one of their lipglosses in Toffee, it is a natural browny nude colour. This looks super natural and is a nice nude. I really like brown coloured nude lipsticks, I think they look more natural than pinky nudes. The smell of this lipgloss is so amazing as well! It's smells like toffee and caramel ahhh! I literally want to eat it every time I put it on. I 100% recommend these as they aren't sticky at all and are really worth the price.

My last favourite for last month is a Maybelline Baby Lips in Rose Addict. You may have noticed that this doesn't look like the ones you might have seen. That's because these are the ones available in Asia (and Australia I think?) This is a gorgeous rosy tinted lip balm and looks so natural. I like to wear this to school because it isn't too bold but looks nice and rosy. It isn't very pigmented which I like as it is nice and sheer. If you can get hold of these definitely pick these up!

That were all my favourite products for the month of April, I hope you enjoyed this post and if you liked this then please follow me on bloglovin I am very close to 100!! Thanks for reading! Have a nice day, bye!
