As a follow on from my previous post: Products Worth The Hype! I thought it would be interesting to do a products not worth the hype post!
So people have raved about these products in particular but I've found them not all that they're cut out to be!
Barry M Gelly Nail Polish - I get that they're cheap and affordable so what's not to love about that? But I just seriously can't get on with them. The colours are beautiful yes, but they chip and peel off pretty much straight away. I keep buying more though, I don't know why - maybe it's the colours that lure me in but they really don't sit well with me unfortunately.
Yves Saint Laurent Touch Eclat Radiant Touch - Possibly the worst £22.50 I've spent ever. I had seen so many people rave about how amazing this product was so I was really excited to try it but I was soon disappointed. It went crumbly on my skin, wore off really quickly, dried up and just not great to be honest with you. I think it didn't help that people hyped it up so much so my expectations were set super high.
Kate Moss Lipstick 05 - This is the only lipstick of hers that I don't get on with and oddly enough one of many people's favourite lipstick of hers. I just find it really creamy/sheeny, and it doesn't last long on my lips - it rubs off after like 20 minutes. I can't eat or drink with this on. However, none of her others do it to me so maybe it's just this particular colour.
Sleek True Colour Lipstick in Vamp - Ok after writing this, this lipstick isn't too bad. It's just not me. I don't like the size of it for starters, it's way too small. I get that with Sleek it's cheap so that shouldn't matter but I like having decent sized lipsticks. However, it does last longer than the Kate Moss lipstick, but only by a little bit extra. If it's just a short term thing you're after then go ahead - the colour is really nice in all honesty. It's just not all that it's cracked up to be I'm afraid!
MAC Cosmetics Studio Fix Fluid - I had seen makeup artists bless this piece of makeup, I had seen bloggers who have loved it, people on my social networking - basically everywhere! Decided to give this a try and was quickly disappointed. You don't get a pump with it for a kick off, I know you can buy them cheap but after spending £22 I don't want to pay extra. It's extremely thick and gloopy as well which I hated, the coverage is too much. I would always get horrible spots after using this for a couple of days too. Just not my cup of tea unfortunately.
Benefit Cosmetics Gimme Brow - Very disappointing. I had high hopes for this product. The lady on the Benefit counter promised great things but it did not deliver unfortunately. The applicator is like a mascara wand - you go in at the wrong angle and there's a nice, lovely big blob of Gimme Brow on your forehead, plus it doesn't actually make much difference to your eyebrows, especially if you have dark ones like me.
