Don't waste your money on...

[Annabel]

Murad Skincare... so expensive, and doesn't work very well after about 3 weeks.

 

[rubyredcherrypie]

Rimmel Mascara with the Comb, it made my lashes just one big clump.

 

[aquamarine]

The Body Shop Vitamin E eye cream (the one in the little pink tub) - made my eyes itch and didn't help much.


I do like their other stuff though

 

[scblonndie]

Maybeline's new matte blush cream... you can't even see it!

 

[fashionjunkie^]

Chanel foundation!
It's really bad!

 

[twilight fairy]

I have to join in the anti-3-step-Clinique-programme crowd. It WRECKED my skin. I never looked more awful.

Estee Lauder mascara is crap, in my honest opinion. I also didn't like Chanel Teint Universeil or whatever foundation, though Vitalumieres is much better. What else...oh, I hate Colistar make-up.

 

[prettyjuice]

i dont like the maybelline mousse in general. it looked terrible and dry AND rough when applied. urg, i was mad. but i love bare minerals

 

[palyxa]

Clinique 3 step and makeup - Awful, just terrible, I'm still trying to get rid of all the red marks it left. The soap is so drying and doesn't cleanse at all.

Great lash - spider eyes

Lipfusion - I really love this, it's glossy and smells like oranges, makes my lips tingle too. But for the 40 bucks I paid, I'll suck on a cinnamon covered orange instead.



Hmm, I really love Rimmel (except the foundation) which is queer because I detest walmart. The volume eyes mascara makes me all sex-kitteny.

 

[FashionFix]

Benefit BadGal eyeliner--it separates and doesn't stay on
I know there are more, but I can't think of them right now.

 

[palyxa]

Yes! That one too Fashionfix! I forgot about that. It also wouldn't fit into any of my sharpeners, I still can't find one big enough.



But the Baby Cakes eyeliner is awesome, I get compliments everytime I wear it. The bent brush that goes with it is great too.

Don't waste your money on:

Sally Hansen's Nail Prisms

OR

Maybelline's Express Finish Glitter nail polish

...they don't get hard and just peal off

 

[danceras]

I found that I really liked Dior foundation the best.

Don't buy Maybelline Intense XXL Mascara because too much comes out on the brush at one time and weighs down the lashes.

Although, i LOVE the regular Maybelline XXL Mascara, I find its perfect and just the right amount comes out of the tube each time.

Don't get Bonnebell bronzer, it's awful ickk.

DO get Physician's Formula Pearls of Perfection bronzer

DO get Physician's Formula Pearls of Perfection bronzer

I'm very pale so I can't use bronzer, but I do have the "Pearls of Perfection" in translucent. I was so scared it would leave big brown swishes on my face because of all the different color pearls! But it is perfect, flawless, I'm hooked.

 

[coralmilk]

MAC foundation is the best I've ever tried. It's the only one I can actually use. I love it.

I love most MAC products, except for the lipglosses. I wouldn't say for everyone to avoid them, but to me it doesn't work at all and it literally lasts long (not in a good way)!

 

[Hye Park Lover]

^ Nooo, I tried the MAC foundation - turned my face a positive shade of tangerine, to which I thought "Ahh must be my bad luck, I think it'll try the Studio tech one" and just my luck it was as dry as Nevada and it seeped into all the folds in my skin and make it look so flaky

 

[susie_bubble]

^Agreed. Mac foundation made me look like I was wearing 30 layers of slap. It was literally like caking it on.

 

[BBgIZzZMo]

most body shop products!
they sux

 

[wonderland]

MAC X mascara... DONT buy it. Dried out really quickly, clumped. Yucky!

Beach Blonde John Freida: Any shampoo, conditioner or "wave enhancer" not worth the extra price. Waste of money.



DO BUY HOWEVER: Lash Out mascara (l'oreal) AMAZING! People always coo over how long my lashes are when I wear this, and they arent long at all. I swear by that stuff. Go buy some NOW! NOW!

 

[SiennaInLondon]

My tip? Avoid CLINIQUE like the plague. Also stuff like Mac and Hilfiger are rubbish. Stick with OLD SCHOOL FRENCH brands like Givenchy and Dior. Cheaper stuff is ok to experiment with but remember, nobody wants a rash!

 

[peacelover142002]

dessert lipglosses - they don't plump and the banana split one smells great but tastes godawful
