Beauty Hall of shame (the thread that will NOT make you spend money)

[Pinkglow]

Ok so after now ordering new foot buffers and looking into moroccan oil I just wondered if there were any beauty products that you really hate and would not recommend. Sorry if this has been done before, I did do a search.

Mine is benefit some kind-a-gorgeous foundation. Ended up purchasing this after wandering into one of their stores where the women would looked like she was caked in it slapped it all over my face catching me rather unawares. Admittedly the primer I also purchased is actually quite nice but the foundation is not exactly subtle and ended up looking like Ive caked it on. Plus it didnt last very long for the price.

REVLON - sodding autocorrect

Garnier BB cream stung my face, and I've yet to find one light enough for me in any brand. Mystic oil made my hair all fly-away and puffy, never had that before in my life! And the Herbal Essences purple one for 'tousled' hair made my hair greasy beyond belief. Smells nice though.

I like minerals makeup and moroccanoil

I hate No7 nail polish - chips in nanoseconds
I hate 8 hr cream - greasy and stinks

brain blank will be back

Touche Eclat, Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour cream, Clarins Beauty Flash balm. All touted as classic and indispensable. And all shit.

^ agree with all of heliums

there are many of us 'lergic to Touche eclat

Dead sea salts - good for nothing except a tide mark.
Dove deodorants with the grapefruity/lemon bergamot smells - made my pits smell like cats pee.

Who said 8-hour cream? Totally agree. Absolute waste of money. What are you supposed to do with it?? It was like ultra sticky Vaseline. Rattled about in my "beauty box" for years before I chucked it.

What is BB cream?

Agree 8 hour cream is useless, also anything I've ever tried by maybiline. Pantene and herbal essences shampoo / conditioner leave my hair feeling like it's weighed down with chip fat.

Ped egg, absolute waste of money as far as I am concerned, all it does is grate your feet leaving them rough and not remotely sandal ready.

And touché éclat, wore it for years before I realized it gave me a reverse panda. Now use a By Terry one and it's fab!

Nair facial hair removal cream, still getting spots and dry skin on my upper lip 3 weeks later :(

Yes Herbal Essences is crap!

Bought Tesco Value shampoo for DH as a joke after he kept using my nice stuff and even he said it was awful and refuses to use it.

Now buys his own though, so it worked!

as i said in another thread

avoid James Brown hair prods, absolutely rubbish.

27p for a litre though, think I'll use it to clean the patio.

Yep to James Brown hair products. I would rather use Tesco Value.

8 hour cream is amazing on burns, sun burn and nappy rash. Not good for anything else

Garnier BB cream is crap.

Nano blur is also crap!

No 7 mascara is also crappy. Can't remember which one.

Beauty flash balm. It does absolutely nothing for me.

i thought 8 hour cream was ok. very good if you had a sore nose with a cold.

also beauty flash is good as well.

I like BFB.
