Bad Products

Hey Guys,

I’m sorry haven’t written in such a long time but quite a few things that happened, like writing some homeworks, I was on holiday where I didn’t have any internet access, I got ill and so forth. But I will try to keep posting on a regular base from now, promise ;)

Today I have a few cosmetic products for you which I bought some time ago for the first time. All the products are those I don’t like or didn’t work for me, of course they might work perfectly for you :D

The first two products I want to tell you about are from Catrice Cosmetics. Both are primers, one is the Prime and Fine Smoothing Refiner and the other is the Prime and Fine Illuminating Base. Before I talk about the product I just want to tell you shortly what my skin is like so you guys get a better picture. I have a normal to oily skin, but my T-zone tends to get reeaaally oily over time the outer parts don’t get as oily, I would say they are normal oily ;).I also have rather large pores, especially on my nose and the surrounding areas. With that skin I usually have problems with foundation staying on and the foundation creeps into the pores and then I have little dots of foundation left on my face and I hate that.

So I bought these two products. The Smoothing Refiner comes in a small glass pot and has a creamy consistency like the paint pots by MAC, the primer is a bit softer and has a light pinkish colour. On the fingers the product feels rather nice but on the skin it felt like I had a thin layer of soft wax and I could feel it all day on my skin. And you shouldn’t feel a primer at all, not when you put it on or while wearing it. Another problem I had was that my make-up and foundation moved and vanished way faster than usual and that did happen every time I used this primer. I had the same problem with the Illuminating Base. The Base comes in a tube and it doesn’t feel waxy which is nice but you can still feel it on your skin and it didn’t illuminate my skin. Actually it didn’t do anything for me besides making my make-up vanish faster and making my skin oilier.

Two other products that didn’t work for me are mascaras from essence. One was the I <3 Extreme Volume Mascara and the other the All Eyes On Me Multi-Effect Mascara. They don’t make my lashes longer, thicker or gives them more volume. That is actually no problem for me because I like my lashes the way they are I only want them to get more black because mine are a bit light. What made me dislike them is that the mascara got transferred under my eyes and that really quick. And I expect of mascara to stay on my lashes and not to transfer everywhere, and I guess you guys do too ;)

The last product is a Gel Eyeliner in brown by Rival de Loop Young, it has the same consistency as other gel eyeliners. I really liked the colour but like the other products it didn’t last on me long. The eyeliner didn’t last on me for even an hour, so I was really disappointed.

These are all the products for now, I hope you found this a little helpful.

I wish you all a great rest weekend;)
