Little known fact, I struggle spelling the word February!
I mean is the first 'r' really necessary? Feb-u-ary...see what I mean? No? Haha!
Before I ramble on with out linguistic problems let me share my beauty failures
for the month that can not be spelt unless spell check is fully used!
I don't have many to share which in my opinion is actually quite a good thing.
L'Oreal Nude Magique BB Cream in Medium
My first dabble with BB Creams was not successful,
I found this to be really weak all round.
The colour was too grey and despite the claim of it matching all medium skin tones
it was too light for my tone and as mentioned rather grey.
The coverage was also poor and not on par with a tinted moisturiser.
Not the best £10 I have spent but oh well you live and learn!
Maybelline Dream Bouncy Blushes - Various Shades
The gimmick/novelty appeal of these blushes was far too much for me to resist!
They looked like so much fun and the shades appeared really pretty so I shipped in 3 for the US
only to find that although very much whimsical and fun to play around with,
the texture and colour pay off was sub-par and not a product I will be re-purchasing.
What products would you care to banish to the beauty bin forever?
I've had nothing but bad things about the L'Oréal BB cream and those blushes look a bit knackered too... Thank you for the tip, I won't be wasting my money on these products!

Glad I could help :)
DeleteI have read a few bad things about the L'Oreal BB cream. I don't think a BB cream is for me!
ReplyDeleteThanks hun! xx
Aww no don't let this one put you off, i'm sure there is lots of good BB creams out there :)
Deletei think when it comes to bb creams its best to stay w asian brands :D and for the bouncy blush, i tried one and i completely enjoy using it. but yes color payoff is poor. but omg it's so fun to use!
ReplyDeleteI really must get my mitts on some asian bb creams asap :)
DeleteGreat Post! :)
ReplyDeleteEvery post I've read about the Loreal BB cream has been bad. Although yours is the only one to claim the colour was too light. The other reviews I've read say that it was way too orange. Sounds like a very strange product, I definitely won't be purchasing.
ReplyDeleteI've seen the bouncy blushes floating around the blog world too, they really interested me. Shame they aren't great.

A few people have said to me they found it really orange but I found it really grey :s most odd maybe mine has turned or something? Maybe wait until the bouncy blushes hit the UK and have a little test but they are really over hyped sadly :(
DeleteLooks like bad news for the L'Oreal BB Cream... I, like everybody else, have only read bad things about it. It's a shame the blushes aren't too good though, I've always wanted to have a little poke of one haha!

Haha I think that is the only reason I bought them in all honesty! haha :)
DeleteI recently bought a cheap Essence gel blush, which was not worthy the money. Bad texture and colour, unfortunately.
ReplyDeleteugh that sucks :(
Delete<3 May they never be heard from again!
ReplyDeleteI struggle with spelling February too! I'm always looking over my shoulder making sure no one is watching me struggle bc it's also embarrassing spelling the word wrong lol
ReplyDeleteI really recommend asian brands (corean brands preferably) to try BB creams... They have a huge range to try, but be careful choosing the colour because they are very light. Only a few brands offer BB creams for darker skin tones ;)
