Products I Regret Purchasing

I get asked a lot if I ever have products I just wish I had not spent money on. My answer is rarely. I have so many right now from the dollar store haul I did awhile back. When I went to the dollar store I bought pretty much everything that was there and you can go back to March to read the reviews on the products. I did have a few other items to put in this post that I will leave a short review on in this post.

First off I will list the dollar store products I really regret purchasing. 

1. Loreal Hip Lip Gloss

2. LA Colors Liquid Makeup

3. Elf HD Blush

4. Maybelline Color Tattoo Pigment

5. LA Colors Liquid Eyeliner

6. Wet n Wild Mega Plump Mascara

7. Wet n Wild Intuitive Blen

8. Sassy + Chic BB Cream

The following are just items I picked up here and there since Jan that I just don't care for. 

1. Revlon Ultimate All In One Mascara- I do not like the wand. It is really small with very tiny bristles.

2. City Color Tinted Brow Gel- I like the formula, it is just the wrong color for me.

3. Maybelline The Falsies Push Up Drama- I just don't like the formula and I don't think it really does anything for my lashes.

4. Rimmel Show Off Lip Velvet in 307 Meteoric Matte- I do not like how think this formula is, it does not feel nice on my lips. It also has a strong pain scent.

5. Maybelline Master Smokey in Scorching Brown- The liner is to think to do anything with. 

6. City Color Sunlight Trio Collection 2- I didn't like how dusty these are and the colors just did not work with my skin tone.

Makeup Haul Follow Up: Highlighters, Blush, Bronzers

These are products that were featured in the drug store haul blog post from Feb 15th. If you would like to see what else I purchased, go take a look at that post!

1. Essence Soo Glow!:

This highlighter sells for $3.49 at Target. It is a cream to powder highlighter. I got it in the color 10 Look on the Bright Side. I absolutely LOVE the consistency and how it turns to a powder. It is a great formula! It is a beautiful color as well. I do have to use it sparingly or I feel like a disco ball, which I don't like for a daytime look. Great product!

2. Hard Candy Glow all the Way Ombre Baked Blush:

Oh my, this product is my biggest disappointment. I bought it at Walmart for $7. It looks so pretty in the package so I didn't mind the price. I got the color 933 Sunburst. It is a beautiful light pink shimmer color. It did NOT work for me as a blush. It was so light no one could even tell I had blush on. So, now it is being used as a highlighter and it works perfectly as a highlighter. 

3. Elf Blush and Bronzer Duo:

I got this for $3 at Target in the color St Lucia. The bronzer is a little muddy for my skin right now but I think it will work better in the summer time. Its a really nice color though. The blush is a really nice soft pink flush color. It looks very natural. Im not sure it will work as well in the summer time though. 

4. Elf Sunkissed Glow Bronzer:

This is quiet possibly my favorite product I got in my haul. I purchased it for $2 at Target. Definitely can't beat the price! It is the most perfect bronzer color for me. It is everything I look for in a bronzer.

Makeup Haul Follow Up: Concealers

These are the two concealers I purchased during my Drug Store Haul that was posted on Feb 15th. 

1. Essence Say No To Dark Circles:

This product sells for $2.99 at Target. I got it in the color 30 Bright Rośe. It is a color correcting concealer that perfectly conceals dark circles. 

I only used this once. I found it very clumpy and it creased bad! It did not cover my very dark circles. I think it might work better on light circles. 

2. Hard Candy Glamoflauge Heavy Duty Concealer:

I have heard so many people rave about this product, so I figured I might as well pick it up. It is $6 at Walmart. It is for covering dark circles to blemishes to tattoos. I don't have a tattoo so I can't do a review on how well that covers. It did come with a pencil concealer as well. I have heard that you should only use that to help cover tattoos. The pencil ended up just getting stuck in the drawer lol. I got this in the color 977 Fair. It is the perfect color for my skin tone. It is the perfect coverage for blemishes. I did get creasing after using it for dark circles, so I don't think I would use it for that. It is a little heavy and thick and a little bit goes a LONG way! I am very happy with this to use to cover up blemishes and if I want to cover up extra redness. I can see now why so many people rave about this!

Makeup Haul Follow Up: Foundation

I picked up these 3 foundations when I did my Drug Store Haul on Feb 15th. You can go back to that post if you would like to see what else I purchased. I have been obsessed with foundation lately, so I am kind of proud of myself for only buying 3! 

1. Essence Pure Nude Makeup:

This foundation sells for $4.99 at Target. It claims to have a natural finish with a no makeup feel and it moisturizes and has glycerine and vitamin E in it. It is also dermatologically tested. I got it in the color 10 Pure Beige. The color is a perfect match to my skin tone and it definitely has a natural finish. However, it did feel a little cakey to me and it did unfortunately make my face itch. It does have a pump which I love! It is so much more hygienic to me to have a pump. It seems like a very thin texture to me which is fine but if you like heavier foundation this isn't the one for you. It ended up being more of a light coverage foundation. 

2. Catrice All Matt Plus:

I picked this up at Ulta for $8.99. I believe Ulta is still the only place in the States that you can get this brand. This foundation claims to have shine control, be mattifying, last 18 hours, and it is oil free.   It has light reflecting pigments and is hydrating. I got the color 010 Light Beige. This color is perfect for my pale winter skin but it will be to light in the summer when I have some color. I really loved how it lasted all day without a setting powder on it and it looked nice just worn alone. Of course I loved it more because it comes with a pump. It was honestly very matte. It is a very nice consistency and it ended up being a medium coverage. I really like this foundation. 

3. Rimmel Clean Finish Foundation:

This was $3.97 at Walmart. It claims to make your skin 100% powerless, light weight, and be fragrance free. It also has vitamins A and E. I got it in the color 120 Ivory. It is a little to orange for me but I can make it work so it wasn't a big deal. It has a paddle applicator thing. No pump, bummer. It looked very natural and was about a medium coverage. Unfortunately, this foundation did break me out. I guess I can't complain to much as it was so inexpensive.
