Disliked Products #5


Disliked-beauty-products

However much I love writing positive reviews for my blog it's always good to balance it out from time to time and share products that left you unimpressed or even a bit stabby - haha! So today I thought I would share with you four products that I just didn't get on with to varying degrees.

Of course if you love a product I've featured in this post I'm definitely not saying you are wrong in liking it - more I personally didn't get on with it. In fact if you have liked any of these products I'd love to hear what you liked about it in the comments - always interesting to read a different point of view.

Ciate Lash Lights Coloured Mascara 
£14.00 each - Ciate here
Sadly Ciate's first attempt in to makeup isn't what I was expecting from them. Yes, they have some creative nail sets but surely they knew coloured mascara has never been a huge hit. Sold as a 'pop of colour' to the tips of the lashes the 6 coloured mascara as designed to add subtle colour and enhance your eye colour. I personally think it's a load of old rubbish and to add insult to injury the formula is rather wet and clumpy. A big thumbs down from me sadly.

Toni & Guy Volume Plumping Whip 
£7.19 - Boots here 
There's nothing worse than a hair styling product that gives you the opposite of what it intended to do. I loved the sound of this product but sadly found even when I used the smallest amount it weighed down my hair, made it feel full of product and required washing the next day. Way too processed and heavy for my liking. If you thick hair I could see this working however.  

L'Oreal Nude Magique Eau De Teint Foundation
£9.99 - Boots here 
Liking my light coverage flawless finish foundations I decided to try out the new L'Oreal Ea De Teint Foundation. I already loved the Lumi Magique range so thought the new Nude Magique would be up my street but as soon as I applied this I knew it wasn't for me. The coverage really is near to invisible and sadly I found the supposed non-greasy feel to actually feel quite oily on my skin, almost like it was part water and some kind of thin oil. I've now starting using the Revlon Naked Foundation which was exactly what I was looking for - light but with at least some coverage. 

Purity Facial Moisturiser 
£5.99 - Boots/Superdrug 
This moisturiser is described as a light whipped-mousse moisturiser but as you may be able to see from how it's fallen to one side in the pot, this is quite a heavy cream. I generally love organic moisturisers but this was way too heavy for my skin and would be more suited to ageing or dry skin. However I have been re-using this now I've brought it out of my stash as a nightly hand cream!

It's interesting to see the products people didn't get on with! I always wanted to try the nude magique foundation but I think I'll steer away from it now! Thank you :)

Also I agree with the hair thing, I hate it when my hair feels full of product...

I like seeing posts like this because it can really help me avoid wasting my money! I've seen really mixed reviews of the L'Oreal Nude Magique Foundation - definitely sticking to my Revlon Nearly Naked and Colourstay. I like the idea of using an unwanted face cream as a hand cream (sometimes I use creams like these just on my neck and décolletage) xx

I like reading posts like this one, people always write about things they liked, but rarely about products they don't like!

Ah such a shame that these products didn't work for you

I always find drug store foundations very orange on my pale skin and the shades are always so dark for my complexion! The only brand that does shades similar to my skin tone would be Maybelline <3 I have tried a few foundations from L'oreal but don't find them that great, way to dark xx

Jenny, have you tried Rimmel's Match Perfection in their lightest shade? I have very pale skin and found that most foundations (including the very expensive ones) turned orange/brown on me by the end of the day. This foundation is very easy to apply, easy to blend, non-greasy and does not change colour at all. Above all it is often on sale which makes it very appealing. But the best part is that it is an excellent foundation and lasts all day.
Thanks for the review on the foundation, now I know not to try that one! I love hearing about things that people don't like; I think it's so useful.

The only product I own from the ones mentioned is the nude magique foundation and I like it. I don't love it but on days where I only want very light coverage reach for it. I agree that it does feel a littly oily but with some powder I get a matte finish.

I did a blogpost on mascaras I didn't like not too long ago.

I enjoy these posts because sometimes things just stink for people! I haven't seen many glowing reviews of the L'oreal so I don't think you're alone in that.
The L'Oreal one was surprising. So far I am disappointed with Matrix Biolage Exquisite oil. Not exquisite at all
A Cle de Peau face cream that comes in a tube - too much like paste!
It's always good to re purpose products - moisturiser as hand cream/body lotion lip balm for dry elbows. Nikki x
I was a little confused by Ciate's mascara line and didn't think much of it. Hopefully they do better in the future!

I don't know why that Loreal foundation doesn't work for lots of people but it works so well on my skin (I found the coverage is at least light to medium too) and is one of my faves! Maybe try to use different tools to apply it? Thanks for sharing though!
These are my favorite types of blog posts because I feel like people are always talking about what they love, not what they regret getting (:

I've always wanted to try the nude magique, but after reading this I think I'm gonna pass. Thanks for the review

Unfortunately there are always products that do not live up to their hype. Some of the eyeshadow palettes being rushed out for Christmas have been disappointing (I'm looking at Stila, Lorac, Mac) and BareMinerals have put out some eye pencils have been given very poor ratings due to their harshness when using them. I always find it useful to check out the beauty blogs before I am spending my money to see if the purchase is worth it. I have saved a lot of money that way.
This is a great post - really interesting hearing about the products which didn't quite hit the mark which let's face it can be quite a lot. The amount of bronzers I have bought which has broken immediately due to poor quality and packaging is very frustrating. I swear it wasn't my clumsiness!!

I've experienced the same thing with the L'Oreal foundation, although the concept of it is nice, it didn't work quite well for my skin type and it just made me break out ...

Andrea,

That's funny! I love the L'Oreal Nude Magique foundation. For me it's the best budget foundation in town!
Oh that's a shame you didn't like these products. I absolutely love the L'Oreal Nude Magique foundation - it's one of my favourites and one of the few foundations that I have ever finished and repurchased. We can't all love the same things though.

How great of you to share your honest reviews of products! I know I've seen rave reviews for some beauty products that I simply did not like. For instance, I once bought a pricey lipstick recommended by a blogger, and it was horrible. Thanks for sharing.
