Beauty Products I Regret Buying

Everyone has those products they buy and are totally disappointed with them after the first couple of uses. I thought I'd put a blog post up about these products to share them with my readers.

First up is Benefit's They're Real. My mum actually got me this for my birthday, she went to get the Bad Gal mascara and they recommended this to her instead. I'm so fussy about mascaras, they have to have a proper brush not one of those plastic comb wands. This doesn't have a proper mascara wand so I immediately knew I wasn't going to be happy with this product. But I gave it a try anyway and was so disappointed with it. Its clumped my eyelashes together so it looked like I had 4 spiders legs coming out of my eyelids with no way of seperating them. I like to do two coats of mascara to thicken my lashes up but it was impossible to do a second coat with this mascara as my eyelashes were so stuck together. I was in the benefit counter again recently and she was trying to sell me this product but I told her I didn't like it and she said you either liked this one or the bad gal mascara, you couldn't like both. 

Next is Maybelline's baby lips. When these first came out everyone was raving about this so I couldn't wait to get my hands on one. After being out of stock in Boots for ages I finally got my hands on this one. This did nothing for my lips other than making them greasy I was gutted. After using by his for a whole day my lips felt so dry. My friend had been looking one and I said she could have mine because I wouldn't be using it, she bought her own and said the same as me that her lips were so dry after using it. I love the baby skin primer but this product just does nothing for me.

Next on my list is Soap & Glory; The Greatest Scrub Of All. It's meant to be a face exfoliater but its so rough I couldn't use itit as it actually hurt my skin. I found that if I mix a bit of it in with my usual face wash it's OK but I definitely couldn't use it alone as it would hurt my skin.

Last on my list is Topshop's Velvet Lips in Plush. Now I don't know if it's the same with all the colours or just this one but I used it once and that was enough for me. It doesn't go on evenly and when you try to build it up it wipes off with the applicator. And let's not talk about reapplication after eating or drinking! I reapplied after having lunch at work and it looked like I had some serious flaky lips going on, you would have to take it all off and start again which isn't good if your on the go. I ended up having to just put a lipstick the same sort of colour over the top of it to hide the mess.

So that's it for my products regrets, do you have any and if so what are they? I always love reading these as it helps me stay away from those products that haven't worked for other people.
