What highly rated beauty product just doesn't work for you.

[notacooldad]

Mine is the Philip Kingsley elasticizer.
All my friends love it but every time.i try it my hear is left like a grease slick. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong as I follow every direction. I rinse my hair more than normal when using it.

What doesn't work for you?

For me it’s YSL touché eclat - makes my eyes incredibly itchy. Have heard others say the same - I think if it doesn’t irritate your skin, it works brilliantly but it’s no good for me,

Function of Beauty shampoo. I fell for the influencer hype. It's rubbish, and really expensive. A cheap bottle of Tresemmé does a better job.

Elizabeth Arden 8 hour cream. I just don't get it.

Another vote for YSL touché eclat, I don't get it

Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair. Just makes my skin drier

Charlotte tilbury makeup - overpriced and not good quality

Function of beauty shampoo/conditioner

The Ordinary Buffet. Sticky. Didn’t make my skin feel or look good.

YY to 8 Hour Cream and Touché Eclat, neither have been any good for me.

The YSL mascara (can’t remember the name) that everyone raved about. It smells lovely, it looked lovely...until it started to flake all sodding day. Thought I may have just got a dodgy tube so bought another but it was the same.

Touche Éclat is crap. I get better results from Boots Natural Collection old fashioned stick concealer.
8 Hour Cream smells like petrol and Vaseline is better.

Charlotte Tilbury pillowtalk lipstick. It's not a universal nude - it doesn't suit me at all.

One hundred per cent function of beauty!!! I was led to expect higher by Sali Hughes who I love. Was terrible

Face creams and foundations with spf in them. Cant wear them, they make my eye read and watery all day.

Virtually everything already mentioned!
The Ordinary- yes, it is.
Touche Eclat pen thing. Stinks like a dirty dishcloth after 3 days. Always tickles me that people still think it's a concealer and end up looking like a reverse panda. (I know they do a concealer concealer too, but the famous TE isn't it)
8 hour cream is greasy vaseline. Literally. The marketing guys must be the best there are though.
ANR was ahead of its time as one of the first serums to contain the ingredients it did, but now they've all got them in. It's also mainly cheap as chips hyaluronic acid so meh
Any hyaluronic acid
Any rosehip oil. Someone once said, once you get past 40, a rosehip oil ain't going to change anything. So true.

This makes me sound like a bitch (and I really like her columns and her videos on Insta and her general advice- I have her book and everything) but anything Sali Hughes wears on her own face- she says she has really dry skin, yet her (orangey) foundation looks like an oil slick. Whenever she says what she is using I think "oh, that's one to cross off"

Yes to PK Elasticizer - what a waste of money.

I enjoy her books and columns but don't follow Sali Hughes' skincare or foundation recommendations any more as my (greasy) skin's so different to hers. Great that I don't have a single wrinkle (over 50) but spots are still far more of a concern to me than dryness or dehydration.

Couple spring to mind. Armani Luminous Silk foundation = crater like pore settling. Aveda thickening tonic = lank greasy mess.

Sunday Riley Ceramic Slip (I think that’s the name) cleanser. Just the scent was enough to have my eyes watering like I’d chopped 100 onions. Wasn’t impressed with the whole range.

Clarins flash beauty balm. Does absolutely nothing as far as I can see.

You must have amazing skin already

Yes to YSL touche eclat - it’s just shiny stuff under your eyes and doesn’t work as a concealer at all.
Benefit generally leave me underwhelmed - as do all mascaras that aren’t Lancôme.
Clinique skin care is about the same as Nivea for me.

But I love PK elasticizer - I have semi fine hair and it works wonders on mine. I also love any make-up by Laura Mercier.

The Ordinary Caffeine stuff for eyes....used it every day until I finished the bottle....zero difference

Clarins beauty flash....again no results...the cheaper one from Boots time delay range...radiance booster seems ok

Hair remover spring thing for eyebrows/tash - leaves me with ingrowing hairs

Anything by Kerastase, just doesn't seem to work.
Expensive mascara, I prefer Maybeline.
8 hr cream is just greasy.
I love Beauty Flash Balm though, gives me a nice glow, find its great under make up

Kerastase was nice on my hair, but I’m unfortunately allergic to it, brings me out in a rash when I use it in the shower 😢.

YY to Pillowtalk, urgh.

Elemis pro collagen marine cream, I hate it.

Elasticizer has been hit and miss for me. Won't buy it again though once this lot runs out. Olplex is miles miles better.

Urban Decay all nighter, entirely pointless.

Do you put it in WET hair?
