Disappointing Products (Singular) #2

Hey Ladies,

It isn't all sunshine and roses around here and as a blogger I try out so many products. Quite often I find a dud in the mix. I think it's important to share disappointing products especially when they are from a luxury brand!

                                     

                                     

This time round we are going to be discussion MAC Liquid Eye Liner in Boot Black. Right from the get go I didn't like this product, the packaging for me is just so blah and it is quite small for the €21 price tag. I think with a liquid eye liner the applicator is the deal breaker, considering it is so hard to get the perfect smooth line the applicator should be easy to use and manageable for whatever your skill level with makeup. The applicator on this particular eyeliner is a stiff short pointed sponge that is really difficult to move over the eye and as it is quite stubby it's hard to get into the inner corner of your eye and create a thin liner.

The eyeliner itself is very liquidy and when you put it on your eyelid it can run and spread like watercolour. If you manage to complete a decent liner and want to go back in to make it darker, simply don't. It pulls on the liner you have already done and basically removes it. If you follow me on Snapchat you would have seen me use it in one of my Snaptorials and how it ruined my makeup that day. MAC claim it to be smudge resistant, I think not.

I will be bringing this Back2MAC as one of my items as I really don't think it is worth the hassle for me. I would rather stick to my KatVonD Tattoo Liner or Inglot 77! I hope you enjoyed this post and found it useful. Do you have any disappointing products that you have tried recently? If so, let me know in the comments below.

Disappointing Products #1

Hey Ladies,

As a beauty blogger I love buying new products testing them out and telling you all about them but not all the products I buy are amazing and get glowing reviews. Every now and again I come across products that just leave me feeling really hard done by and annoyed that I spent my hard earned cash on them. 

The first of the two products I am showing you today you may have already seen in my latest haul on my YouTube channel (link here). I picked up the Rimmel BB Cream during a Boots 3 for 2 offer and was quite excited because I don't normally use a BB cream. The one positive point I do have to say about this product is that its brilliant for the paler girls. But it just lets me down when it comes to coverage and with this product you can really only use one layer as it does NOT like layering up. I'll keep this one in my stash for the Summer days when I only want a touch of foundation but I honestly wouldn't write home about it just yet.

The other product is something that I have in my stash for a VERY long time and it has only been used twice....TWICE and I wouldn't mind but it wasn't cheap (€45 to be exact). I picked up the Giorgio Armani Fluid Sheer which is like a blusher type deal back when I was in college and completely frivolous with money. To look at it you would just fall in love instantly, the packaging is stunning and the product is a gorgeous soft peachy tone which is right up my alley. But, I have NEVER been able to make it work and not for lack of trying. I've tried it on with BB creams, dewy foundations, matte foundations, with a brush and with my fingers. It just doesn't blend and pulls on foundation making it look patchy (think foundation with a touch of broken capillaries -FABLISS). I have just deemed it a lost cause for the time being, so if you know of any tips on using this product let me know in the comment section below I need all the help I can get! 

Until next time.
