Now and then, we all end up up with beauty products that we regret purchasing. Today's post is all about that! My opinion might save you some bucks but please be aware if one product does not work for me does not mean it won't work for you too.
TOO FACED BETTER THAN SEX MASCARA
Let's start with the most controversial, since I have only and only read rave reviews about the Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara! If you are reading this and agree with me, please ease my mind and let me know in the comments that I am not the only who does not like this cult-favourite mascara. This mascara does absolutely nothing for my lashes. And frankly speaking, what good a mascara is if it only works on already-amazing lashes.GET THIS INSTEAD: Tarte Tarteist Mascara OR Maybelline Rocket Volume Mascara
COLOURPOP LIPPIE STIX - TOPLESS
I must say this in the beginning, I love Colourpop Lippie Stix. Their formula is so creamy and pigmented. I only have an issue with the shade Topless. Among the ones I own, Topless, is the only one which applies very streaky and gives a super patchy finish.GET THIS INSTEAD: Wet n Wild 24 Carrot Gold OR Colourpop Botanical Ultra Satin Lip
OFRA HIGHLIGHTER - BEVERLY HILLS
Again another cult-favourite product that just doesn't work for me and such things boggle my mind. I find the Ofra Beverly Hills Highlighter very powdery, it emphasizes a lot of texture and does not even blend well. I also do not find anything out of the ordinary about the shade itself or the glow it tries to add.GET THIS INSTEAD: Sleek Makeup Solstice Highlighting Palette
KIKO SIGNATURE EYEMARKER
I don't know what I was thinking when I ordered the Kiko Signature Eyemarker. Do you see it's tip? The best thing I can do with it is to write headings on a piece of paper. It's just so stubby that attempting a clean line with it is a huge feat, let alone a whole winged eyeliner!GET THIS INSTEAD: Zoeva Cat Eye Pen
COLOURPOP CRYSTAL LIQUID HIGHLIGHTER - AVENTURINE
I got the Colourpop Crystal Liquid Highlighter on a whim. And I regret it ever since! Another one of those 'bleh' products. I find the formula very greasy and the highlighter just does not sit well whether I mix it with my foundation or apply in on the top. The concept is good, the price is great but the product not so much.GET THIS INSTEAD: Cover FX Custom Enhancer Drops
