Products I Really Regret Buying Since Last year :(

Hello (:

I was thinking about making a post like this a while ago but didn't want to make so many negative posts.
So here i am writing this. in essence this will probably take away from the guilt of how many gimmicky products i've brought in the last year or so, my bank balance is building because i'm buying less and less. and buying quality not quantity = little amounts used = less money spent
I'm going to give you all the awareness of why i dislike and why products didnt work for me.

so im going to start with foundations!

we all love making ourselves look a little short of perfection with our base on our face.
since last year ive moved so far away from foundation that if someone was to bring one to me, i am a negative magnet and it will repel from me, this is not because of too many bad experiences but because i am trying to look healthy from within my natural face. and find even a peasize ammount of foundation gives me a slick and false look about my face, however that doesnt mean that foundation didnt look good on me at all. its just im trying to look more ordinary and less, 'omg shes wearing foundation' look. which happens everytime i apply the littlest bit of it.

why am i going on? well i brought a foundation from boots last year from the rimmel line.
and rimmel has never been anything but brilliant for me tbh, i entered a competion last year and won their 'new' foundation at the time which was the stay matte foundation (beige and green tube) which was hitting on fantastic for me and i loved every last drop from the tube! recommend that one completely.
so after being extremely won over by rimmel i decided to buy the Match perfection foundation.

gives me the creeps just saying that name now tbh.
can i just say, i hate strong fragrance in foundation and avoid it usually like the plague, but made the mistake of buying when i was coming down with bad ass hay-fever so couldnt tell at the time.
The foundation smells so strong, like a parfume and i really hated it.
after applying the smell goes away but really slowly.
the texture is greasy and oily and often was the cause of my breakouts. ( i assume)
because i had been broke for a while i was using this till i couldnt take no more and usually had to powder hard on my face to get it to stay on there without dripping off and making me look like a mess.
just curiously i looked on the blogspot to see if other ladies had the same problems as i did.
it seemed like most of them disliked it too. but one lady shattered my whole earth by saying 
"I RECOMMEND THIS FOUNDATION TO ALL PEOPLE AND TEENAGERS ITS FANTASTIC!"

LOL WAT, teenagers dont try this at home.
dont do it!!!!
i beg of you

If you are extremely sensitive or just average in oils on your face dont even bother.
This foundation was the biggest pain in my life lol. slapping this on while going to college fixing overheating computers? yeah that's a disaster lol

ew gross i just dont wanna talk about it anymore.

so onto the next of my death wish haha
is l'oreal bare naturale powdered mineral foundation

i brought this from the states and i dont hate this as much as the match perfection (chills*) lol
it's kinda like a mineral foundation but its not
i dont know what it is, just made my face look messy and weirdly ashy, but strangely enough although buying a beige which is a universal colour which goes with my olive skin, it came out quite reddish undertones to it. and it was very difficult to blend with my skin unlike most mineral foundations.
it also oxidized really quick leaving me with my bare skin i had before but a more ashy look to it. so that's why they call it bare? lmao,
i gave it to my mum who rarely uses it so sadly its not one for either of us.
*thumbs down l'oreal*

Next Product is
 Aubrey Organics Lip Balm In TANGY TANGERINE


Please its not in my nature to diss natural and organic produce because i love it
but *WRETCH*
this is diiiiisgusting. and you think how can you even go wrong with a lovely orange lip balm?
You can, i didnt believe it but after trying this i know now
It's a horrible sickly smell to it. doesnt really smell like oranges or tangerines at all. more of a gross scent of it that tastes and smells synthetic and must have so much beeswax in it that it just killed itself.
I dont know why, but it's not for me. think im going to try a yes to carrots in future, cause they have never let me down as a company.
Give this a miss, but do check out Aubrey organics other products as their line is fantastic, just void off those lipbalms tho, dont even try! lol



So thats all to my post, hope you've taken this in.
Although what may not work for me may work for you, and i am not trying to give these companies a bad name as i have various products from each line which i find good or better.

<333

whats the worst product you have brought before?

  1. Ugh. RL ate my ability to go online recently. @_@ Sorry for the late reply~~~.

    Anyway-- yikes. That Rimmel foundation sounds absolutely horrid. D: I've tried lord knows how many foundations, and only two months ago, found one I actually like/that looks alright on me. Horror stories abouuunnddd. Hahah.

    And I just have to say, you have LOVELY skin, going by the pic in your last post. :33 I, too, often skimp on makeup. (And lenses, for that matter.) I'm just too darn lazy to always slather on all that stuff. Especially when I spent 18 years of my life wearing not a thing on my face. (I really only started learning how to do my makeup 2 years ago, when I started college.)
