Ooh, I was going to say 8 hour cream too. I barely know what to do with it, it's just like smelly vaseline.

chanel mascara - really excellent until it dried up after about a week

clinique 3 step system, no improvement to my skin.. have had better results with neutrogena

send your product back to dermalogica, i did this with a chanel lip palette, cost £28 and it made my lips itch and swell. got an apology and could choose a prodcut up to the same value, so got Cristalle perfume instead.

Clarins beauty flash balm. It brings me out in spots.

A clarins face serum aswell which didn't make my skin any different. No7 protect and perfect is as good and half the price.

i loved 8 hour cream but too mean to buy it now!!

my sister was disappointed with creme de la mer moisturiser, IIRC

Not sure if it counts but I lusted after a Ted Baker purse for ages and finally splashed out. And it broke after a week. Gutted.

Well I suppose there was the treadmill I hired for four months or so at £80 a month but only used three times (and boasted about on here each time, as I recall )....but that was my own fault really < ashamed >

Clarins Beauty Flash Balm.

Overrated IMHO.

YSL waterproof cream eyeshadow , new product .. was going to change my life bla bla bla

made my eyelids look like crepe paper

am actually thinking of trying to return it..as have only used a infinitessimal amount and still have receipt???

did youy know there is benetint freebie mascara in glamour mag this month? don't spose that counts but i will be trying that tomorrow and will be disappointed if it is less than excellent...

I once spent lots of money on a Sisley face cream, but was unimpressed

Touche Eclat. Could never get it to blend in and it always highlighted what I was trying to conceal. And it went off too.

Rimmel cheap concealer much better.

(And I should know as I have plenty of acne to cover up )

Agree - eight hour cream v expensive nice-smelling Vaseline

BIWI< i have bought new skin stuff and skin is much improved:

neutrogena : an oil free face wash, and a face wash/mask in one. also their blackhead eliminating cleanser and have been using a tea tree stick on spots day and night. have seen a massive improvement in my skin. stopped using cleansing wipes too.

<<mayor, tis me, lulu!>>

sorry for hijack

Ooh yes I've had two touche éclats go off on me (even religiously keeping applicator clean) and it makes my undereye area scaly... Nice

nice name lulu...

obv i have missed some bizarre joke (i hope!)...

am thinking of other money spinners...

touche éclat - pile o' shite

btw my skin is also shitey mcshiterson at the mo - am at a loss as am eating loads of fruit and veg and drinking so much i practically live in the loo..

i was lurving the oil cleansing method but can only do it every 4 days or so or i get all dry and peely

anyway...more expensive stuff...hmm...(gosh am a cheapskate really )

deffo the 8 hour cream, it's just greasy! and that boots no 7 stuff that everyone was raving on about, protect and perfect. what exactly is it supposed to do?!

Molton Brown soap and hand lotion at fifteen bloody pounds per bottle. Atrixo and tesco soap are just as good.

I only bought it for the bottles to look poncesome in my bathroom.
