Disappointing Beauty Products February 2017

1. Oh by the way I’m so glad you introduced us to Winky Lux, such a fun brand!!! 🙂

2. I loved this video I commented on YT but I wanted to tell you how gorgeous this look is, it’s one of my favorites! I agree, I think that more beauty brands should make foundation products that are geared towards more than one skintype-because the product could be great for pale skin, give you coverage, but if you have dry skin it will end up being a little bit patchy/cakey, or with oily skin be too overwhelming. As I experiment with the Kevyn Aucoin Sensual Skin Enhancer, I’ll let you know how it works(on my combo skin that can go oily and then be dryer in patches) and since you have a good range of brushes, that is one that really does work for more than one skintype-it’s meant to be mixed-before the Sensual Skin Primer got released(just in the past few weeks) it’s one that is a good multi-tasker, because you can use it on it’s own with a flat brush under the eye to conceal, you can mix it with Embryolisse Lait Creme(for your dry skin) to sheer it out for a more all over sheerer foundation, on it’s own where you need more coverage-the Sensual Skin Primer has it’s own mixing tray and it’s formulated for it-but it definitely is geared towards working for more than one skin type.

3. I love your poodle! & The hot pink hair looks awesome too! I have heard that the new ABH foundation stick is not the best, do you know of a stick foundation that is a good one? I’ve only used liquid and mousse formulas

   1. The only one that I have that I think is good is the Hot Makeup Foundation stick.

      1. Yvette, one foundation that I love that is a stick foundation is Hourglass Vanish Seamless Finish Foundation Stick-that one has worked really well for me-the one caveat with that is that you do have to buy the brush that goes with it because it makes the product work-. It’s a really concentrated product, it melds with your skin temp to and it really give you full coverage with a really second skin seamless finish. It’s not inexpensive, it’s $46, but it’s lasted me a really long time because when you apply it you don’t need very much, it’s designed that way. It’s not for everyone, if you are really on the dryer side. But if you have normal/combo/combo to oily etc it’s a great product, and it’s SO easy to blend. It has really great pale shades/deep shades, everywhere in between.

4. OH and I LOVE your pink hair!!!

5. I haven’t tried the ABH foundation, but the NYX Total Cover is definitely more matte – and better for oily skin. It doesn’t cover my acne scars very well though. The shade range is pretty amazing though. I’m going to be swatching them with Brittany soon!

6. I love stick foundations but the ABH sounds like something I should skip. I haven’t heard a single person in my age range say that they like it (other than as a concealer/spot cover up). It’s a bummer because the shade range looks great 🙁

7. Cute pup. I just got a red spoo puppy. He’s a handful

8. You saved me from that Anastasia stick, phew, I was considering it, but I suspect I’d have the same problems–thank you!

9. My first visit to your site to read the article and couldn’t find it! There was so much advertising and photos and list of products you are wearing, that the article isn’t even on this page! Click-bait…will not be returning! Very disappointed!

   1. You have to watch the video to see the disappointing products.

10. I was at Ulta yesterday with a great coupon and was so disappointed that they were out of the NYX Total Control. Now I’m glad about it since I doubt it would work for me either.

    1. If your skin is dry like mine, it’s likely it wouldn’t work for you.

11. Currently obsessed with TV show Superstore. It’s worth bingewatching. Disappointed with L’Oreal feline mascara…

    1. Haven’t heard of Superstore!

12. Your hair looks gorgeous! Love the hot pink! And the Black Moon lipstick is stunning

    1. Thank you!

13. Speaking of Arrow, are you upset that the writers were forced to kill off Deadshot and Waller in addition to phasing Deathstroke and Harley out at the time WB was prepping the Extended Universe, Suicide Squad included?

    1. I haven’t watched Arrow enough to know what is going on in their storyline.

14. I’ll be watching this tonight before bed. My nightly routine lately includes catching up on YT. I agree though, that lip shade is everything!

    1. Thanks Bailey!

15. I had the same experience with the NYX Total Control foundation. I tried several different brushes and sponges, but it clings to my dry patches like crazy, even dry spots I didn’t realize I had. I was so disappointed! I’m thinking of adding a drop of oil to it to see if that works…I’m a beauty on a budget, and the thought of throwing it away pains me, lol.

    1. So sorry to hear it! I tried mixing with my Josie Maran Argan Oil Light and it was a hot mess.

16. What a bummer that the Anastasia BH stick foundation is a miss. At least it’s good for spot concealing for you. The Body Shop Blur Cream sounds like a definite miss!

    1. Yeah I wish that more brands would make foundations for both dry skin and oily skin.
