Disappointing Products #2

I'm back with another disappointing products. Most of these empties were surprisingly disappointing as I had heard great things about them. Also, please not that the Daisy perfume is not part of this, it's just decoration. How can you not love the original Daisy!?

Maybelline Baby Skin Instant Pore Eraser
This is still not available in Australia but bought it on All Cosmetics Wholesale. I was excited as some people were saying it is a dupe for Benefit's Porefessional. I gave it a go, but it didn't seem to do anything, it even made my skin oilier. I didn't find it smoothed over my pores as they still looked the same and it didn't help my makeup last either.

Rimmel Stay Matte Long Lasting Pressed Powder Transparent
I was so disappointed when this didn't work for me! Everyone and their mothers love this product and I bought it as an emergency powder one day when I left mine at home. I found that it made my makeup look really cake and everything bunched up, especially around my nose. This makes me so sad to say this because I was so excited about trying and using it.

L'Oreal Colour Riche Eye Colour Pencil in Smokey Taupe
When I swatched it on my hand at Priceline, it felt so creamy and the pigmentation was amazing so of course I had to get it. But when I tried it on my eyes at home, it wasn't what I thought it would be. When I applied it to my eyes, it didn't go on as creamy and tugged on my eyelids. Then when I tried to blend it out, it just ended up rubbing the colour off and leaving glitter on my eyelids. So disappointing because the colour is beautiful!

Rimmel Fix and Perfect Primer
This product for me I do like, but there is one thing that is stopping me from loving it and wearing it. It makes my makeup last longer and doesn't stop the oil coming through, but does slow it down which is good. BUT! The colour of the primer is orange and it doesn't blend well into my skin make my foundation have a tint of orange in it. If it was clear, I would be all over this primer but for now, it's back into hiding it goes.

Have you found anything disappointing lately?

Disappointing Products #1

I really don't like to say that these products are disappointing, it's just that this was easier to say rather than "Products that I'd thought I'd like, the I tried them and they just didn't agree with me #1". Phew. I bought these products thinking they would be great. However when I tried them out, I just didn't like them.

Face of Australia Liquid Illuminator, Maybelline Fit Me Foundation, Revlon Colorburst Balm in Charm, and Rimmel ScandalEyes Eyeliner.

Firstly, the Face of Australia Mineral Therapy Illuminator in Angel Mist, this is something I regret purchasing. Why did I buy this!? You get 50ml for some ridiculously cheap price so that's probably why I thought I'd give it a go. It's super runny and the shimmer doesn't show on your skin. Not a fan. Next, the Maybelline Fit Me Foundation. Everyone but me seems to love this. Whenever I wore this, my face turned into an oil slick. Plus, I bought the lightest shade which is still way to dark for me. But on the plus side, that packaging is so darn pretty, maybe that's why I bought it. Such a shame. Next, the Revlon Colorburst Balm in Charm. Unintentional rhyming by the way! Now it's not all of the balms I don't like, it's just this colour. The rest of the balms are amazing! It's just that this colour does nothing on my lips. I thought it would give me a nude lip colour but, I can't see any colour at all. Lastly, the Rimmel ScandelEyes Eyeliner. The only reason I don't like this eyeliner is the felt tip. This one isn't a smooth as some others so it just tugs in my eyelids. This means my eyeliner is messier than usual. Bummer.

Do you agree with me on these products or do you love them? Let me know if you have any tips for making these products work better. Have a fabulous day!
