I Love You, but...


mix

This is a post dedicated to all the products that I use and love, a lot... but I sadly sigh and think 'I love you, but' when using them. Some products are more flawed then others, granted, but all could do with changing a little! 

ysl

YSL mascara I love you, you give me long volumized lashes that almost look false. But within 3 months you end up looking like this. A clumpy, gloppy mess. Which means I have to throw you in the bin.

krdgojo

Naked Palette you know I will always love you! I use you daily and couldn't be without you now... but really, why did you have to include Sidecar? Sidecar starts off looking as lovely as the rest on the lids but by the end of the day there is glitter under my eyes and in my eyebrows!

col2000

I love you nameless concealer... you hid the blue veins under my eyes a gem and stay put all day. Oh, actually I think I know your name... Collection 2000 Lasting Concealer is it? I remember all your writing rubbing off within a week of getting you... onto my hands and other makeup. So even though you are amazing you may as well be a nameless, unbranded makeup product.

bour

Oh Bourjois, I love you so. You always lure me in with your lovely packaging. But why are you do expensive. I've sure you where more affordable a few years ago but really £6.00 an eyeshadow and £8.00 for a lipstick is on the pricey side. You are high street after all! 
Though I do love your foundations (again, slightly too pricey) and your wonderful bronzing powder that seems to last forever. 

bene

Benetint, Benetint I do actually love you. You stain like no other tint I know which is a good thing! But you are so, so runny. I did try to take some photographic evidence but you ran off my hand before I could take the picture. A little thicker like Posietint and you really would be perfect.

kogjored

Red I love you like no other magazine... I've actually kept every Christmas issue for the last 3 years now and have even been know to look through them on miserable 'summer' days. But your beauty section is going smaller and smaller which does make me sad. You do it so well a few more pages would make a world of difference to my beauty obsessed self.


Would love to here of any 'I love you, but' beauty products you own but wouldn't stop using for the world!

This is actually a really good post :) xo
this is an awesome idea! i think i'll do this soon, my blog has been lacking in posts as i've ran out of ideas, this is fab!
I love the Red Beauty pages, and am also sad they seem to be shrinking.
I feel the same about Bourjois, lovely stuff but way overpriced now :(
I'm with you on Sidecar in the UD Naked Palette! I always just skip over it and pretend it's not there any more haha. But then I feel a bit mean and wish I could depot it and give it to someone who might actually use it! xo
i'm with you on bourjois... the only reason i haven't bought anything from that brand yet is because i find it to be too pricey...
I love reading your posts. You have such interesting ideas, I've never seen anyone do this topic before
Hmmm... I'd say Soleil tan de Chanel would fall under this category, IMO. It gives a beautiful colour and finish, but it's not the best product to be used when my cheeks have acne spots- it's a rather hard formula and the back-and-forth motion of the brush takes off some of the concealer unerneath :(
what a well written and lovely post!!!enjoyed it thoroughly!!!xxxxxx
Great post. Have you tried Body Shops cheek and lip tint? It's a gel so a bit gloopy but I think it's just as good as Benetint. For me it's Loreal Touche Magique. I love the coverage but i hate the way the brush splays cos the lid closes too close to it. CHANGE IT!
I love your photographs and posts.. =D they're always very artsy!
Love it!
a cute post...
you're supposed to throw away your mascara every three months anyway.

Makeup Savvy, I love you, but you keep refusing to grammar check your posts (the Bourjois section got really hammered this time around), thus making me feel like you really don't care and aren't particularly professional. Throw a touch of an editor into the mix and you really would be perfect.
I love this post! More like this would be amazing!

I LOVE my YSL mascara.. I don't know if this is just me, but I find it always gets full of fluff and little hairs, sounds weird but it doesn't happen to any other mascara!

A little tip for you when the mascara goes all gloopy and stuff is pour boiling hot water into a little bowl.. take out the mascara brush clean it in the boiling hot water then put it (while still wet) back into the mascara tube.. It makes the mascara feel all new again! :)

Ah love this post! I can't think of any products to tell you about!
i paint a light coat of clear nail polish over the tube of 'collection 2000 lasting perfection concealer' 2 months later writing is still there, stops it look grubby x
Omg the Collection 2000 Concealer, so annoying when that happens! Very funny post xx

Great post! And there really does always seem to be a 'but' with products even if I love them!
this post made me smile - I say pretty much the same thing everytime i use Bourjois products, collection 2000 concealer and benetint - all these things just need small tweaks if only companies took notice of bloggers!! x
Lovely post! I think I might do the same on my blog. When I do, I'll let you know! :)
Awesome post! Your photos are always so complimenting. Love it.
I'm certainly with you on the Collection 2000 concealer, my sister brought one when it first came out and I couldn't purchase my own for the life of me because I couldn't work out which it was until now!
