Hi Guys,
The last disappointing products post I did went down so well that I though I would do another one, and oddly this one had only drugstore products in, (which I didn't do on purpose). Since the last post I have discovered a few more products that I personally don't get on with or products that I wouldn’t ever recommend to anyone because I feel they are just bad products in general.
So I’m hoping by now you know how this thing goes now, let’s get into it then.
1. 301 Flat Contour brush
First up is something
that I was seriously so gutted about when I released it was
a complete waste of money. It’s the 'Bold
Metals Collection by Real Techniques 301 Flat Contour brush'.
It is
specifically designed to make contouring easier and to help get that chiselled cheekbone look
that is desirable nowadays. However I personally find that if
you sure it to contour it just ends up removing any foundation
that you have applied underneath because the brush itself is very very dense. And
I don’t really appreciate having patchy foundation.
But also
what I have noticed is that anyone that has this brush hasn’t used It for its
actual job, and normally I wouldn’t have a problem with that as I am a greater believer
in the fact that any brush can be used for any task. But taking that I’m yet to
hear anyone say anything good about that particular brush as well, give me the impression
that people are too scared to criticise it. as it is part of a well respected
brand and collection.
At most
I would use it for foundation, but only if my other brushes were really dirty
and needed a wash.
2. Velvet Lipstick
This had so much hype around it, and for a long time I swore
I wasn’t going to get on the hype of this product, but eventually I gave in. and
quite honestly I so wish I hadn’t I was defiantly not what I was expecting and I
really don’t understand why people like it so much. The Bourjois Rouge
Edition Velvet lipstick is one I would never recommend to anyone.
For starters the
smell of it is absolutely horrific, to me is smells like metallic blood and that is defiantly not something that I
would like to apply to my face. Secondly the formula is so odd. on me it applies
very patchy and not a solid colour which is what I was expecting, I gave it a
few goes both on its own and with a base colour but I still didn't get on with it, so that’s why it has ended up in my disappointing products post.
3. Poudre De Riz Java
Next
is another Bourjois product and it is the Bourjois Poudre De Riz De Java. So the
first two times I used this I wasn’t 100% happy with it but I figured it is
just something that I will get use to over time and learn to love. But as time went
on I really didn’t learn to love it.
There are multiple things wrong with this powder, now again this
product from Bourjois smells awful too(reoccurring theme here),
it smells like roses and old people (no offence old people)
but it is a smell that I cant really stomach. however another problem
with the product is the packaging, now I can just about deal with some loose
powders, but this one is just so messy and difficult I would hate
using it and eventually I just stopped using it because it was too
much hassle.
Lastly, and the main
point as to why this is in my disappointing products post is because I brought this specifically
for spring/summer because I wanted to switch up my heavy duty makeup look to a
lighter more glowie makeup look. But when you have oily skin like me
this products is a definite no no. mainly because
it doesn't have oil control and it
also have flecks of glitter
in which really doesn't help anyone with oily skin.
4. Supercat Eyeliner
Last but not least, another product that was majorly talked
about for a long time that I ended up purchasing, which ended up being a
mistake is the Soap & Glory™ Supercat™ Eyeliner Pen Carbon Black Extreme.
In simple this 'carbon black' eyeliner, defiantly ISN'T black, its grey. Which I was seriously disappointed about, because so many people said that they got on with it really easily. But yeah I don't think there is much more to say about that except it wasn't what I expected.
Thanks for Reading
