I noticed my last post on the products that didn\u2019t quite make the cut was a hit, so I thought it was time to collect up another lot of \u2018not so loved\u2019 beauty items for round two. I have to admit that picking products for this post was some mission, I just got rid of so much stuff over the weekend and I don\u2019t tend to hang on to anything I don\u2019t like so I had to really raid the cupboards!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The first of two bases I don\u2019t rate so highly is the Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation (\u00a335.50) \u2013<\/strong> I am almost certain I am the only person that doesn\u2019t like this stuff! I\u2019ve been hanging on to it for a year now in the hope I will change my mind, but I know it\u2019s time to let go. I wouldn\u2019t say I have oily skin, I don\u2019t often get a too-shiny complexion (it usually translates as a dewy glow, which I can get along with just fine) but with this foundation, my makeup looks like one big oil slick. It just doesn\u2019t sit at all, makes my complexion look shiny and it sits on top of my skin. I\u2019ve tried it in autumn, winter, spring and now summer and I can\u2019t make it happen, I\u2019m afraid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Despite being a massive Erborian fan, I wasn\u2019t all that keen on their cult product the Erborian BB Creme Au Ginseng (\u00a315) \u2013<\/strong> I am obsessed with it\u2019s CC counterpart which is harder to get hold of (typical) but the BB Cream just wasn\u2019t for me. It doesn\u2019t really match my skin tone (there\u2019s only the one shade), it doesn\u2019t add much in terms of coverage nor does it last well on my skin. It\u2019s the only product I\u2019ve tried from Erborian that I haven\u2019t agreed with, sadly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Next on my list of \u2018didn\u2019t loves\u2019 is the Revlon Colourstay Gel Liner (\u00a38.99)<\/strong> which I thought was just terrible. The brush was a mission to get out of the lid, the product was too hard to apply and it didn\u2019t last on my eyes at all. I don\u2019t even think I gave this a second chance as it just ruined my makeup first time around. It\u2019s likely to be me and my wobbly, eyeliner-novice hands but I wasn\u2019t a fan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Finally, the Bumble and bumble Grooming Creme (\u00a322.50)<\/strong> \u2013 this is absolutely the only Bumble product I\u2019ve not been obsessed with. I gave it a whirl and at first I liked it, I think because my hair was longer back then, but with my short hair it just doesn\u2019t work so well \u2013 I think it\u2019s a little heavy and weighs down my fine locks. I think it\u2019s probably better suited at boys or those with thicker hair as I couldn\u2019t make it work in mine. I\u2019ve handed it over to boyfriend who seems pleased with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Have you tried any of these products?<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I noticed my last post on the products that didn\u2019t quite make the cut was…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1541,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[14],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uscgnews.com\/go\/doc\/4007\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/403"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uscgnews.com\/go\/doc\/4007\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uscgnews.com\/go\/doc\/4007\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uscgnews.com\/go\/doc\/4007\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uscgnews.com\/go\/doc\/4007\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=403"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.uscgnews.com\/go\/doc\/4007\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/403\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1542,"href":"https:\/\/www.uscgnews.com\/go\/doc\/4007\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/403\/revisions\/1542"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uscgnews.com\/go\/doc\/4007\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1541"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uscgnews.com\/go\/doc\/4007\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=403"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uscgnews.com\/go\/doc\/4007\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=403"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uscgnews.com\/go\/doc\/4007\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=403"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
