I'll be honest in saying that quite a few products failed to hit the mark this month
but only some happened to be truly disappointing, where as the others tended to be
more middle ground and neither great nor poor so I felt it was best just to focus on
the products that really left me wishing I had spent my money else where!
Boots Natural Collection Moisture Shine Lipstick in shade Rose Petal -
Does not deliver any shine nor moisture, the lipstick broke before I even used it
and I found the shade stark and completely unflattering!
MUA Single Eyeshadow Shade 20 Matt - I had hopes this shade would be a deep
true black shade that would pack more than a punch in the pigmentation stakes.
Sadly it applied chalky and patchy not at all what I had anticipated.
Sephora Crayon Eye Pencils (various shades) - I have tested a few shades of these
and they always leave me feeling dissatisfied as they don't apply nor wear particularly well,
they pull on my skin and take quite a bit of effort to reap any reward.
No.7 Metallic Eyes Pencil in Blue - I have been informed that my pencil appears to be a dud
as generally it appears that the majority of you lovely lot that have used these had nothing but
positive things to say so my grumble is with Boots No.7 Glasgow!
How is it that only on average 1 out if 4 products I purchase from your stores are up to standard?
I have so far encountered mousse eyeshadows that have turned and separated, lipsticks that have melted
and most recently this pencil which is far from soft!
Korres Jasmine Lip Butter - Of all the lip butters from Korres I have tested I have found this to be
the poorest variation, the colour pay off is only so so and the scent is not really to my taste.
Any products you'd like to banish to the beauty bin?
Noooo!!! How come you don't like the Jasmine lip butter? Like you, I can't stand its smell but I can endure it because its colour is so pretty!
ReplyDeleteMainly the scent :(
DeleteOh I love that Jasmine lip butter! I like that it's only a milky tinge of colour as I use it as a treatment not when going out. I love the scent, but to each their own I suppose!
ReplyDeleteIt is so funny isn't it that some people love it and others like me not so much haha!
DeleteI think it is mainly the scent I dislike in all honesty.
I love reading posts like this, makes a change from everyone raving about products. Hmm I've been wanting to try the Korres lip butters for a while now.. might give that one a miss X
ReplyDeleteThank you :) yes skip this one and get the mango one it is amazing!
DeleteI'm quite surprised about the Korres lip butter! I've got the Guava one and it's lovely!
ReplyDeleteI have the majority of the lip butter line and really dislike this one :(
DeleteSuch a shame about the metallic eye pencil, I have two and I love them ! xx

A few have said that, annoying that I got a dud haha :)
DeleteI have a Natural Collection Moisture Shine Lipstick (can't remember the shade) and I agree, it's not moisturizing at all! Still love the shade and its creaminess though.
ReplyDeleteI'm very curious about KORRES lip butter and I wonder if they are really moisturizing?
At least the shade is nice :)
DeleteThey are very moisturising some are prettier in shade than others though!
YAY, for posting the drop outs :) I always read fave's, but not many blogs post fails.
ReplyDeleteThanks!!
Thanks Sandra :)
DeleteI feel it is just as important to have the fails as well as the wins :)
aww that is such a shame I love mine :)
ReplyDelete:) I really enjoy these! Would you consider doing them weekly? They're so helpful!
ReplyDeleteThank you :) I don't have enough time nor "fail" products to do these weekly but maybe in the future :) good idea though!
