Products I regret buying

1:00 AM

Here are some products I have been waiting to do a post on for a while just so I had a few to show.. luckily there wasn't too many I disliked.

Some of these might work for you guys but I really didn't have any luck with them and will not be repurchasing.

*Physicians Formula Happy Booster Glow & Mood Boosting Powder-$4 from Shoppers Drug Mart. I was SO lucky I found this on sale in the clearance section so $4 wasn't much of a loss. I have seen these at regular price for around $16! I would have been pissed if I paid that. The packaging is super cute and I have heard mixed reviews on this particular powder but I thought I would try it anyways. Well it was a waste of money, it doesn't do anything for my skin and it certainly doesn't boost my mood. I think the bronzer would have been a better one to buy but I only saw the powder =/

* got2b Fat-tastic instant infusion collagen root-boosting spray-$6 from Shoppers Drug Mart- Sad to say 90% Of any volumizing products do nothing for me but when I see them on sale and the bottle has these amazing claims I usually will give it a try. I am beginning to think I need to just fork out the money for a salon volumizing product rather then 10 drug store ones I dislike. This does nothing for my hair, it didn't leave it greasy or weighed down but it also did not add volume. I will not repurchase.

* Revlon Grow Luscious- I can't remember the price, it was over 6 months ago but I was hanging onto the tube for a post like this. I HATE having gross crunchy hard lashes and this is exactly what it did to mine. They feel like they are going to bust off...not my kinda mascara. It certainly didn't help grow my lashes in any way but maybe I wasn't using it long enough? I hope since there is a new version out they have changed the formula slightly.

*Hard Candy Split Personality Eye Shadow Duo- $7 from Walmart. I really wanted to like this but the application is pretty much terrible and I honestly haven't used it in a while and probably won't =/. You can read my review Here if you are wonder more why I disliked it.

*Revlon Color Stay Liquid Eye Pen-$9-Shoppers Drug Mart. This one was SUCH a waste of money, the only way you get a solid line of color is if you press fairly hard and go so slow! It is not pigmented very nicely and I have since tried the Elf & Fresh Joe felt tip eye liners and they have been amazing! There is a lot cheaper better alternatives out there!Maybe I got a bad tube or something but this wasn't what I was looking for.

What was the last product you purchased that didn't make it to your HG list?

Garnier Fructis

Here is another post of products that didn't do much for me and I would not recommend to anyone really.

First is the Revlon Color Stay liquid Eye Pen in Blackest Black

I am always wanting to try Dolly Wink's felt tip eye liner but that would mean I would have to order online and I didn't want to do that. When I saw this at London Drugs I was sold! But now I am thinking this isn't so great.

It isn't a terrible product but I don't find it very pigmented and that is my problem. I have fair skin and even this doesn't look too dark on my skin and this is the darkest color you can get. It is easy to apply and the lasting power was pretty much a normal day but the light coloring just doesn't cut I for me.

This was pretty pricey for my likings, I did pay $10.99 so I was hoping for better quality then what I got.

The next two products I have are in the same category... Face wipes! I have been trying to test out brands that are on sale to see if there is anything I like better then my Clean & Clear ones I always use, these two weren't even comparable.

First is the Say Yes To Cucumbers, this was the travel pack for under $3 so it's not much of a loss anyways. I found these too weak for my water proof mascara and didn't fully take off my make up. This wasn't terrible but it wasn't anything much to talk about. The smell is pleasant and the towelettes seem like. They are organic or something as I did feel them breaking apart easily. I would not buy this product again.

Next is the Garnier skin naturals. This has grape water and vitamin e. This vitamin enriched cloths are supposed to removed make up but they don't! After I had "removed" my eye make up I had to do it again with a real makeup removing cloth. I used two cloths and still had mascara all over my eyes. These might be ok if you do not wear makeup and just need to clean off your skin, but for makeup lovers this is not your best pick. Also felt these cloths were really dry and the package was closed do they must not have much moisture. I did blow almost $8 for this and i will never repurchase.

** I am not sure if this is a new product or just new to Canada but this kind just didn't remove make up, their other ones might be better but not this one. My Clean & Clear removes all my water proof mascara in one cloth so they are really good.

That is all that I have for now... Have you tried any of these products or had anything similar to these that you did or didn't like?

I am testing this out on my iPad so if this doesn't post as well that's why. I am using a new app to post this and it's not quite as easy as I have hoped. If you have any suggestions please let me know!

I am a Mascara Junkie,i will try every drug store mascara for the most part. These were the latest ones I had kicking around, some of them are meant for the garbage and some of them I will repurchase for sure.

The first one was a surprise for me, i had never tried any Hard
Candy products until Walmart introduced these products.
(yes i buy a lot of products from Walmart, i'm a little bit cheap!)

This mascara for $7ish dollars is not bad, it doesn't give you tons of volume or length but it's not bad for a cheaper mascara-might be good if you are looking for more nature kind of lashes.

Maybelline's FaLsies, it seems that most YouTube Guru's are loving this one, the brush is pretty different then most brushes as it is kind of like half a brush. I do find this lengthens and separates lashes. I don't have thick eye lashes so it does thicken them a little bit. I do find it a little flaky .This isn't my favorite mascara but i do find it in my top 5 for sure.

Revlon's grow luscious claims to help strengthen lashes and make them grow? This did nothing but make my lashes feel crunchy and stiff. The brush is so fat that I found it hard to even use correctly, this bottle is fairly full and will stay that way until it meets the garbage. Total Fail.

I have already kind of spoke about this one earlier on my blog,L'oreal's Voluminous Million Lashses, I Love it. IT lengthens and separate's your lashes. I don't find it over dramatic but it is good as a base coat,I used this first usually and then layer with L'oreal's Voluminous. This is Definitely a HG product.

ALL TIME favorite Mascara ever L'oreal's Voluminous, i have been buying this for years and I will most likely buy for years to come. This lengthens and thickens. This gives me the closest to thick long lashes as I will ever get!My HG for sure. The only con with this is it does flake near the end of the day.

Rimmel's Extra Super Lash is nothing that the name claims to be, I am not trying to dis it but it was basically a waste of money as this product did nothing of the sort. No Volume, No Length.FAIL.

My final mascara is Bad Gal Lash by Benefit, this is a popular product as well i have heard great things about it, so i decided i would try it. It was quite expensive and I didn't find anything to great about it. I found the brush was to fat and didn't go through my lashes very well. It also made them feel kind of crunchy, so for me i would not repurchase =/

Have you ever tried any of these?
