5 Products I'd Love to Love... but Can't!

Disliked_Products

Products that you just can't seem to love however many brands you try out... we all have them. I know people that just can't 'get' dry shampoo or see the beauty of cream blushers. So today I thought I would share with you my own product dislikes that I can never see myself loving!
  
Hairspray
Since my teens I've tried more hairsprays than I care to remember yet hated them time and time again. I can see the purpose of hairspray yet can't stand the crispy feeling it gives to the hair. Plus is it just me or do they seem really toxic with their overpowering chemical fumes. Thankfully I don't do anything to my hair that warrants the use of hairspray and even if I did I think I would give it a miss now.

 Face primers 
This is more of a love/hate product for me. I absolutely love the effects a good primer can bring but sadly most don't seem compatible with my skin and result in breaking me out in small clusters of spots. I'm still unsure if this is the nature of primers not letting the skin breathe or if in fact I'm allergic to a specific ingredient that a lot of primers contain. But either way it is a bit disappointing when there are product such as Benefit The Porefessional which do an amazing job of diffusing the skin and making makeup last. I do however get on with the Tony Moly Egg Pore Smooth Primer Balm as long as I use it sparingly.

Peel off Masks 
 Ahhh I do love a good face mask. From drying one to cream ones I love relaxing with a face mask on. But one consistancy of mask I just can't seem to get on with is peel-off ones... they just don't seem as effective and the consistancy is so different from other masks, almost like honey. But my major gripe with peel off masks is their purpose! Which may seem strange but is it all for ease of removal? Because you know you will always need to wash off the excess parts that don't peel off. I just don't understand the benefits of a peel-off mask.

Yankee Candles
90% of beauty bloggers may be gasping in horror at this one! And yes, if I could I would be obsessed with Yankee candles as the next blogger but sadly the fact is they give me a headache. Though I can indulge in the Yankee Candle wax tarts as they aren't as headache inducing - so all isn't lost. Maybe I'm just too use to organic candles now or the scents are too overpowering, I'm not sure. But I do feel like I'm missing out on the yummy scents they have to offer, especially at Christmas. 

Organic Makeup 
When it comes to organic bodycare products and even skincare I am all over it. I love how mild yet effective organic products are and have had some of the best results with organic products. But sadly the same can't be said about most organic makeup brand I have tried. After loving body products from Lavera I decided to try out their mascara and liquid eyeliner only to be pretty disappointed with the quality, with both products becoming very dry and flaky without a matter of hours. Which has been my experience with a handful of organic cosmetics brands now and I simply don't think organic and makeup sit together well or it hasn't been developed enough. Of course if any of you are lovers of organic makeup I'd love to hear your brand suggestions. 

Are there any products you can't get on with?

Fee xo.

completely agree with the yankee candles on! Some of them are all right but most are just way too over powering. Lovely post though x

I think being subjected to hairspray since I was 3 has made me pretty much immune.
Send me all your primers, I love a peel off face mask and I will box up my Yankee tarts for you.
I love honest posts like this!!
I think its very personal, and have to say that I love all the things youve mentioned here!
Products that I just cant get along with include lipgloss (I just always get it in my hair) and hair mousse, I thimk this is because Im using it wrong though!

Great post :-)

So glad I'm not the only one. Primers don't do much for me, but then I don't have oily skin so maybe that could be why. And as for peel off face masks, I can't bear them! They hurt when you peel them for a start, then you have all the faffing of getting the bits off that have stuck in your hair, it's all gloopy and horrible when you're spreading it - just no. I'm not a big Yankee candle fan either, and some are ok but hate the food scent ones, they're so sickly and overpowering.

I agree about face primers! And organic makeup, it's a shame.
I can't get on with La Roche Posay Effaclar Duo - everyone adores it but it dries my skin out something awful and breaks me out more.

Primers are not to be worn every day. They are not good for the skin at all, it's not just you! :)

I have only ever tried Porefessional but I love texture of my skin after use, but I can only use it in small spurts as it gives me outbreaks of spots too.

I love this post, I find the Yankee Candles way too strong too! x

Oh no! I tried LAVERA's foundation and LOVED IT! The colour (#Ivory) is perfect for my yellow under-toned skin complexion.. Don't give up on organic makeup so fast. Think how good it's for your skin instead of all the nasties you usually find in highstreet and sometimes even expensive brands!

Great post. That's made my mind up about trying Porefessional! ;) Charlotte.x

I've been using a peel off mask from No 7 that's so much easier to use! It sets similar to a mud mask so it's a lot easier to peel off.

I agree with the primers however I prefer more hydrating primers like the Nivea one to pore-filling ones like the Porefessional.

peel off masks i agree!! and some hairsprays.. elnett i dont find as "crispy" as the rest x
great post!! I share your views on hairspray. It does nothing for me! Like you, I rarely style my hair in such a way that requires to be held in place with chemicals!

I'm a bit wary of peel-off masks too; their texture is just so strange...

This was a great post! I see what you mean about Yankee Candles, some of the scents are very strong and overpowering. Have to disagree with hairspray though, it's a life saver for me! xx

I'm yet to get along with a faceprimer tbh, I really enjoyed reading this, I love Yankee Candles thought hehe my sister is the same she makes me shut my door whenever I burn them :p

Face primers do the same exact thing to me! I just stopped trying to use them. I had a friend that tried the Pore-fessional, and her skin didn't look any different than before, so she didn't like it.
It feels like I can finally connect with somebody on the disadvantages of some product especially the peel off face masks, I've never really got why people like them. :D
Even I m not happy with the pigmentation of organic makeup tht I have used :/ N I'ld love to use an undereye cream but it always irritates my under eye area :/ N I love the idea of this post hun <3 <3
