My recent Break ups! Products I Regret Buying.

As a make up addict, I can say I have my share of break ups. But with every break up, there is more make up around the corner. Here are some of the products I regret buying and what I prefer over them! This is a collaboration with the beautiful Jacki from Makeupateers, so be sure to visit her list of break-ups!

"CHUBBY STICKS"

Wet N Wild MegaSlicks Balm Stain
I was really excited for these to come out. I'm a sucker for the "chubby stick" packaging because they are so simple to use.  So why do they fall on the Break up list?
They are inexpensive, and feel like it.
Does not moisturize
no lasting power
doesn't stain lips like it claims
not a fan of the color options

Neutrogena Moisture Smooth Color Stick
I continue to repurchase these, they are my favorite "chubby stick" product.
moisturizing
smells like exotic fruit
soft wash of color, that can be built up
gorgeous color selection
lasts a few hours

 


FOUNDATION

 Marc Jacobs Genuis Gel

The genius gel was so hyped about and I saw such amazing results on people, but I was not impressed by any means. You can read my full review with demos and swatches here.
But here is why we went our separate ways:

perfume scent

 irritates my eyes

splotchy

transfers easily

wears off quickly

expensive

Rimmel Stay Matte Liquid Mousse Foundation

I did a full on review of this foundation as well. We are in love.
light weight

full coverage

minimizes pores

natural finish

stays matte all day

blends seamlessly

Inexpensive

Tube packaging

mousse texture

LIQUID LINER

Jesses Girl Waterproof Liquid Liner
This liquid liner is very easy to apply, and has a lot of things going for it, but the cons completely negate the good for me. You can read more about this liner by clicking here.
It smudges
Its sticky
It doesn't last long

Rimmel Scandal Eyes Precision Micro Eyeliner
This liner is just a dream it does everything I want and lasts for ages!

CONCEALER

Hard Candy Glamoflauge
I love to try new concealers, there are so many to choose from. I heard good things about glamoflauge, but I shouldn't have listened!
greasy
messy
smelly
sticky
doesn't blend

Bare Minerals Concealer
Ok, so I was skeptical about this at first, I couldn't imagine how a powder concealer could cover my blemishes, but glory to God it does!
lightweight
covers perfectly
no scent

LIP BUTTER/BALM

 

Fresh Sugar lip Treatments
I technically did not buy these, but I thought they deserved a mention since I dislike them so very much.
Pungent scent of lemons
doesn't moisturize

works beyond the first layer of skin
