Tag: Don't Believe the Hype

I was tagged by Rica of Icyswirls to do this. Thanks for tagging me Rica! It's the first time that I've been tagged. It took me awhile to figure out what I was going to post. I'm not sure if these are really hyped but these are items that I do regret buying and will definitely not buy again. Of course, this is my own opinion and will differ from each individual person.

MUFE Mist & Fix

The MUA at Sephora highly recommended this product saying that they use it for weddings and photoshoots to set and maintain longevity of makeup. When I first sprayed it on, it looked really great but after only a an hour or so, it seemed to settle into my fine lines and gave me a really ashy look. YUCK!

Sisley

Sorry, my kitten was being curious and got in the way when I snapped.

I bought two eyeshadows, a lipstick and powder one day. I didn't realize they were THAT expensive! While the eyeshadow and lipstick looked really nice, I don't think that they are any better than my usual MAC or other lower end makeup. The powder really does help to brighten my complexion but I could probably get that with another brand. The brand is way to expensive for me to purchase again.

Sephora by OPI

Perhaps it's just the colors that I purchased but they are waaay too sheer for my liking.

Revlon ColorStay Eyeliner Pen

I used to use ColorStay Foundation and really loved the way I could wear the foundation for 10 hours or longer and not have to do any touch ups. However, as I got older, I found that it was quite drying and not good for my skin. I thought that I would really like the eyeliner pen but found that it's not as pigmented as I'd like and to get a darker line, I had to keep layering the color. It also did not last on my lower lashline. I also found the pen tip to be too thich for my liking, kind of like a brush marker.

I don't have this product any more so I had to use a picture from Sephora

I felt that this didn't do a thing and it smelt terrible!

Shu Uemura Mini Eyelash Curler

While I really like my Shu Uemura eyelash curler, this mini one is pretty much useless for me. I bought it thinking that I could use it to carry around and it would be more compact than trying to carry the full-sized one. It takes so long to curl my eyelashes with this one since you have to do it in sections. I found that I had to curl my lashes in 3 sections, the inner eyelashes, the outer eyelashes and the middle section. It's too time consuming!

I'm sure that there are other products that I could add to this list but I can't think of them. I know that I recently dumped a whole bunch of things.

I don't know if you two like to do tags. If you do, then I look forward to reading what your products are.
