Please share beauty items to avoid (in your humble opinion) to save us all some money!

I recently shelled out for Butter London Double Decker mascara and it is so shit. While it does make my eyelashes massive, the brush is too big and does not catch the small lashes without smearing, but the mascara also crumbles after a few hours! My under eye, cheeks and nose was covered with black dots.

Dr Botanicals Po Sleeping Mask broke me out something shocking. I hardly ever get spots and woke up with at least 10!

MUA matte liquid liner. Cheap as chips, but absolutely impossible to remove without effectively taking a layer of eyelid skin with it and flaky and nasty after a few hours (how something can be flaky whilst still sticking like glue is beyond me). Granted, it was less than £3 so hardly a noticeable expense, but it caused me pain so it's being named and shamed.

St Tropez Gradual Tan In Shower - absolute shite and not a hint of colour on my pale skin. I should’ve paid attention to the 100s of online reviews saying the same thing.
