Hey guys I have a lot of disappointing makeup items to go through with you all today so let's just crack on shall we?!
No.1: These fake lashes which I bought off eBay you should definitely avoid. I don't know which brand exactly but there are a lot of eBay sellers sell this particular brand and if you see them just don't buy them.
They are plastic, and the band is very hard not flexible at all. They are just horrible. Most importantly they are very uncomfortable once applied on eyes. Not worth it.
No.2: Urban Decay De-Slick Makeup Setting Spray. I know that some girls swear by it but I have no luck when it comes to makeup sprays. None of them work for me, and this Urban Decay one is no exception. I spray it on after my makeup's done and my face gets oily on the T zone area after a few hours like usual.
I kinda wanna try the Allnighter version as I heard pretty good things about it but again I guess it will be another fail for me as all makeup setting sprays are.
No.3: Guerlain Terracotta Loose Powder Kohl. I love Guerlain products. They are just so luxurious and beautiful. I mean just take a look at this gorgeous packaging. However this loose powder kohl didn't work for me.
It transfers so I have panda eyes all the time which was not very appealing. The powder drops everywhere on my face when using the applicator. It didn't apply so easily as it said it would. I had to dip in several times to archive the intensity I wanted. One swipe didn't cut!
It is very pricey as all Guerlain products are so I had to make it work. So I did. Well kind of. I firstly pour some of the powder into a little pot then spray Mac Fix + onto an angled brow brush then apply as an eyeliner on my upper lash line. I have to say it works this way but too much hassle so it went "hidden" in my makeup drawer.
No.4: the Balm Bahama Mama Bronzer. Beautiful packaging but it's a fail for me.
It's a nice bronzer but it looks muddy and dirty on me. It swatches nicely on my hand but once applied on my face it's a different story. A shame!
No.5: Make Up For Ever HD Powder. Another hyped up product, some like it some don't, and I, hate it.
It's TOO siliconey and don't set my makeup at all. Almost greasy looking in a way and it gives me a white cast under flash photography. I'm just glad I didn't get the full size one lets just put it this way. What a waste of money!
The powder itself is very soft and finely milled but it gets greasy and oily looking after a couple of hours even less than that actually and the brush that comes with is just a disaster. It's hard and doesn't apply the powder evenly plus it is not easy to wash. I tried applying the powder with another brush but again too much hassle as I have to depot the powder. Ohh no no I don't have time for that!
No.7: Inglot Sleeks Cream in 97.
Nice pale pink colour I gotta say but it is streak looking once applied on the lip and kinda sticky as well. I don't like how it looks nor how it feels on the lip. Full stop.

No.8: Laura Geller Color Drenched Lip Gloss in Cafe Au Lait. I love Laura Geller makeup to be honest especially her Balance n Brighten powder foundation which I reviewed in my "Best Powder Foundation" blogpost. I'll link it here if you haven't read it already. Unfortunately this lipgloss well I should say this liquid lipstick is a fail for me. Well all liquid lipsticks are fails for me. I just don't like how they look on my lips, very streaky and heavy looking apart from the Hourglass Liquid Rouge which I adore.
Also I and browny lip colors don't get along. This kinda colors just don't suit my complexion.
No.9: Rimmel Apocalips in Nova.
Again another liquid lipstick. Beautiful color but streaky and heavy looking like I mentioned above plus this one has a strange and strong scent which I just can't deal with.
