Never again...

Hi Darlings! I wanted to do a post of disappointments since I haven't yet, these products were definitely a fail for me. They are all just sitting in my beauty cabinet and here's why...


1. Psssst! Dry shampoo, I was really looking forward to this since so many people say it's one of their favorite dry shampoos. This did not do the job for me. My hair was still oily and it was hard to get the white powder out of my hair. I had to keep constantly rubbing it to take it off and I don't really have time for that since I'm always in a hurry. Batiste is STILL my holy grail dry shampoo, it has been the only one that works for me. Makes your hair look like you washed it even though you didn't.

2. Maybelline Dream Fresh BB cream. I loved the cute packaging of this but its the worst bb cream I ever tried. Maybe it doesn't work on my skin but it does not cover really well. It is very light, sometimes it looks like I didn't even put any on. It is very light coverage. Also noticed after a couple hours my face was pretty greasy! If you have combination/oily skin like me, you probably will not like this. The color is an okay match for me but it is not a perfect match. Still prefer Asian bb creams. 

3. Aveeno Smart Essentials Anti Fatigue eye treatment. This does nothing to my puffiness under my eyes like it says its supposed to do. I did not see a difference at all under my eyes. I used this for 4 months and still no results. It smells really good but it is like a oil and it takes a while to dry too before you put your make-up. This was almost $10, so please save your money. I'm still looking for a cream or roller to reduce puffiness, let me know if you know any!




Lastly, this Celestial Face cream from Lush was a total disappointment especially since I spent $24 on it! It says it is for sensitive skin so I thought it would work great for me but it actually made my skin worst! I love how light weight it was but it gave me the worst dry rash on my face that took 3-4 months to treat! I also still broke out from this lotion on my face after I wore it for awhile. It smells so delicious like vanilla and almonds, I adored the smell. But too bad it did not work for me :(

Did any of these work for you? Or did you have the same experience as me?

I will be doing a post of my holy grails soon and can't wait to share it with you ladies!

Xo,
Denise

  2. I had the same issues with Celestial. Lush lotions just don't agree with my face. I have no idea why. It made me break out though, so I discontinued use. But for how expensive it was, I wish I had just returned it right away instead of constantly trying to make it work.

    1. Glad I'm not the only one! I wish I returned it too after awhile. I know their products are hand made so always been iffy about that.

  5. It's a shame that Celestial face cream was such a dissapointment for you, I normally love Lush's products, but I guess this one is different. Thank you for the warning, I'll stay away from all of those!
