Well ello dere! Today I will be talking about products that I regret buying, but bear in mind I don't hate all of these products, it's just if I could rewind time I wouldn't buy them. Also even though I don't particularly like something, chances are you will actually like them :) Ok leggo!
First up shall be the Skin79 Pink BB cream. I absolutely love the consistency and the finish of this, it makes my skin look very smooth and dewy and it didn't feel heavy on me at all. But the problem is that this BB cream only comes in one shade which is too light for me. I would seriously wear this every day if it came in a darker shade though. But I don't want to waste my money so I'm going to try figure out ways to make this look alright on my face - maybe since it's winter my skin will get a bit paler and my chest area will be less exposed so I can get away with wearing this during the winter.. hopefully. Also I'm going to try applying less of this because last time I applied this I have to admit, I did put quite a bit on my face, and then my face and neck were two completely different colours.
This is the Urban Decay Cannonball waterproof mascara. I bought this because at that time I didn't have a waterproof mascara and my lashes told me that waterproof mascara is mandatory so I didn't want to argue with my eye lashes.. Basically since I have asian lashes that wont hold up a curl, I need a waterproof mascara to hold the curl up. So this mascara definitely holds up my curl very very well - for the whole day. On its first coat it looks nice and natural, almost as if you're not wearing any mascara at all. But if you want to make your lashes more noticeable, on its second coat it starts looking a bit spidery and didn't even give any volume to me lashes. It gets pretty clumpy after the first coat which is horrible. Compared to the Covergirl Lashblast Volume mascara (waterproof), I would so much prefer the Covergirl one. The covergirl one holds my curl for the whole day and doesn't get clumpy and is easy to build up coat after coat for a more dramatic look.
This is Mac's paint pot in Barestudy. It's basically a cream shadow that can also act as an eye shadow primer. Even though this product is a part of this post, I still use it quite often - only because I want to make the most out of my money. There's nothing wrong with the actual product itself, it's very creamy and stays on the lids for the whole day, and has great colour pay off. But just because of the fact that I have eye shadow that can give the same look as this does, then this sort of becomes pointless. So I still really like this product, but I could survive without it. (Sin and virgin from Urban Decay give a similar look to this).
Oh my goodness, this product sucks like poo. It's the Youngblood pressed blush in Nectar. I thought this would be a pretty coral colour on the cheeks but when I put it on my cheeks, there's no bloody difference to when my cheeks were naked! So I full on packed it on to my cheeks and you can barely notice that you're even wearing a blush. I actually don't recommend this product to anyone.. unless your skin is literally as white as paper.. I love Youngblood a lot, but this blush in this colour is equivalent to sitting in a bath tub full of cockroaches, bumpy toads, spiders, and geckos.
This is Stila's lip cream in the colour coral. Like the paint pot, I don't hate this, it's actually a pretty nice product but it's just that the colour isn't anything too special - I don't find myself reaching for it whenever I do my makeup. I like to apply it on my lips then use my finger to spread it evenly across my lips. It's quite a pretty pink that's more on the coral side and smells like vanilla! Since this is a lip cream it isn't moisturising at all, so it leaves your lips feeling quite dry. I'll try using this up though!
Ok finally, this isn't really a makeup product but it is beauty related! It's the Lush No Drought dry shampoo. Unlike regular dry shampoos, this comes in a powder form. It didn't get rid of the greasy film on my hair which dry shampoos are meant to do.. And also because it is powder, it gets a bit messy when applying it and when I apply this in my hair, I have to hardcore rub it in so that it doesn't leave a grey residue behind. And since I have to rub it in so hard, I'm just creating more dandruff in my hair because I'm rubbing my scalp too much. So after it's all rubbed in, my hair is still greasy and I also get an extra bonus of dandruff! I don't know what to do with this poo.. But I'm pretty sure my hair is just.. a bit special so it'll probably work really well on others.
Wow, I finished yay! To be honest, after the first product I mentioned I wanted to stop blogging haha, I was so bored. Oh! I went shopping with mum and my heart left the shopping centre 70% content.. My heart still longs for a bag. I don't think my heart will go on, sorry Celine. Oh shibs, 10 past 10 mate.. I should shower bye!
