Disappointing makeup products

Hey Guys
Here I have my disappointing makeup products, Usually I rarely find products I dislike but I think I should share! I normally try before I buy but having tried so many times to like the product I have failed.


Starting off with the ever so popular mascara, Benefit's 'they're real'. Priced around £18 you think this product would be amazing by the advertisement. They claim its the best mascara around and it volumizes, curls and lengthens your lashes by 98%. However, I absolutely despise this product, My lashes became clumped and was so difficult to remove, Took days before my lashes went back to normal. The brush is a hard plastic and irritates my eyes while applying and it barely makes them any longer. A product worth the hype for some, but not for me. I have found cheaper products to be 100 times better.


Here I have another mascara that I have religiously tried and still not liked. It is the Maybelline's 'The falsies Volum' express' Again this just did not provide what It claims to be. Although I like the finish it leaves, It does not make my lashes volumized and certainly not false looking. I was so looking forward to this product being amazing as I heard so many good reviews, but found my sell disappointed once again with a mascara that claims to be worth the hype!



Moving on to a lip product now. How pretty does this Revlon Lip Butter look? The colour looks so pretty and the packaging is beautiful, this was the main reason in me purchasing this product. However, I was so disappointing when I tried this on. I originally bought this to wear on my birthday, My first ever lip butter! I thought this would be perfect, a shiny pink lip butter. It made my lips dry, looked cracked and unconditioned. I would never wear this product as It made my lips look ridicules  It has put me off trying any other lip butters as I'm curious whether to pay the £8 for something so rubbish. Have you tried any others? Whats your favorite colour? Id love to know as I would really want to try more to see what they have to offer!



I wanted a good Oil-free tinted moisturizer for the summer, I love experimenting with many tinted moisturizers and came across this one by Stila. The reason I chose this was because of the high SPF and the fact it was oil-free as I feel my skin feels better without it. This was awful on my skin, It was so thick and clumpy and looked very patchy, even when applied with my hands or a brush. It did not describe what it said on the tin and I hate products that lie! I got this in the colour 'light' As I'm pretty pale during summer, I thought this would be perfect. As you can see the pigment is very yellow and left me with orange marks across my skin, I looked like I did not have a clue how to apply it. However the packaging is easy and light for your handbag!








Here I have MAC's Peach twist Blusher. I went into my nearest MAC store looking for a gorgeous pinky/brown blush for everyday wear. I was advised by a makeup-artist to buy this colour as she thought it suited my skin tone and would look great with my foundation. Such a lie! I got home and religiously tried this product to try like it as much as I could, the amount of times I tried, I still got the same result. My cheeks looked orange and extremely patchy, It too bright for my skin tone and it has glitter reflects in it! I love MAC but every time I go into their store I always find myself receiving the wrong colours for my skin. Has anybody tried this blush? I personally can't bare it on my face and I'm disappointed in myself for paying that much for a blush I don't like :(

That is all my disappointing products as I barely find ones I dislike.
Hope you enjoyed & thanks for reading :)

Whats products are you disappointed in? or Do you like any of these products?

  3. I have to say I'm not a fan of any of Maybelline's mascaras - they are far too perfumed and make my sensitive eyes stream with tears and feel as though they're full of grit :( xx
