I have been doing makeup for years. I love makeup but some of these products were obvious cash grabs…you just didn't know it until it was too late.
Affordable. Yes. Nice color story? Debatable. Quality? If I wanted to spend $8 on a crumbly product, I would just go to the grocery store and buy stale bread because that’s better than this palette.
Maybelline City Mini Eyeshadow Palette
This mascara is flakier than my ex boyfriend.
Better Than Sex Waterproof Mascara - Too Faced
Think of the last time you smelled straight pure alcohol and winced because your nostrils started to burn. Now, put that in a bottle and spray it on your face. The SPF in it stands for Sucky Products that Fail.
SPF 30 Makeup Setting Spray - COOLA
This eyeliner is what started my immense hatred so felt tip liners. This eyeliner disappointed me in ways I cannot begin to fathom. It took me years to give felt another chance and it turns out, felt is awesome, just not this felt. Good luck drawing ...
POINT MADE 24-hour Liquid Eyeliner Pen - ONE/SIZE
$6 was a great spend…until it wasn't. The first month, we had a great relationship. We had intense, pigmented brush eyeliner. The second month, I noticed that this eyeliner was starting to act strange. By the third month, it was dry and the brush was...
Picomonte Beautiful Eyeliner Black 6ml
When Vamps came out with the song Bleed for Me, it may have been about this eyeliner. Haha, jokes aside. I never return items once I buy them, but this product was so bad, I had to get my money back.
Rock and Roll Beauty Def Leppard Rock of Ages Tattoo Eyeliner
If I wanted to spray $40 water on my face, I would just go outside and use the garden hose with the shower option and give $40 to the water company, as there is no difference in wasting water and money.
Hourglass Veil Soft Focus Effect Setting Spray - Sephora
Skin-scare
Skincare turns into skin-scare.
Sensitive skin friendly? More like, sensitive skin melty. For a company that boasts about being sensitive skin friendly, it shocked me how badly I reacted to this. My skin literally burned and started to swell. Red spots, itchy, whatever ingredients ...
Take The Day Off™ Cleansing Balm - Makeup Removers
Perfumes
Some perfumes are meant to be repellent instead of pleasant.
I spray this when I want to get out of a conversation, fast. I don't spray it on me, but at people. It's impressive how quickly it can clear a room. So if you need to get rid of people, this is the perfume. Just don't spray it in your house. You'll b...
More Sex Eau de Parfum - Charlotte Tilbury | Sephora
Imagine paying $1,300 to smell like ass. I used to work at a cosmetic store and this perfume was always being sprayed. This perfume was the partial reason why I quit that store. That, and the manager was just as toxic as this perfume.
Fucking Fabulous Eau de Parfum - Tom Ford Beauty
Inhale this if you want massive headaches and your gag reflex to activate. If there is one thing Estee Lauder is great at, it's definitely not perfumes.
Estée Lauder Pleasures Eau de Parfum Spray
Bitter and peach do not belong in the same sentence, just like this perfume does not belong in existence.
