Worst Eye Shadows

L'Oreal HIP Studio Secrets
.

Color was not as highly pigmented as promised and worst of all, it seriously lacked clinging power - meaning that much of the shadow will fall off lids and end up under your eyes.


Rimmel Eye Shadow

Cheap, chalky with very little color pay-off.

Worst Eyeliner Pencils

Stila Kajal Eyeliner.
This one is a hot mess! It is too soft, smudges very easily, ends up in the corners of your eyes and does not sharpen easily. Save your hard earned cash.

N.Y.C. Waterproof Eyeliner Pencil
A perfect of example of "you get what you pay for", this eyeliner is difficult to apply, wears off quickly and can be irritating to your eyes. Not a bargain.

Worst Beauty Products - Continued...


Worst: Laura Mercier Powder Foundation

Laura Mercier Foundation Powder comes in a mirrored compact with a powder puff and a make-up sponge and can be used either wet or dry, depending on the amount of coverage needed. It can also be applied with a foundation brush.

Upon application, it feels nice, as it is finely milled - and even dry,  provided decent coverage.  Within an hour, however, it had settled into my pores and fine lines - and gave my skin a very cake-y appearance. And it did not wear well, especially on my moderately oily skin. Another downfall was the color - which for some reason, seemed okay when I tested it at Sephora. I have medium skin with olive undertones so I chose No. 3 and it was very, very yellow and un-natural.

The price is $40 so again, a huge waste of money!

Worst: Strivectin WF

StriVectin WF - Instant Deep Wrinkle Filler is a topical serum which is supposed to instantly fill in and smooth wrinkles , such as crow's feet and frown lines as well as improve skin's texture and appearance. Pretty lofty claims. Sadly, this product simply does not work. I used it faithfully for three weeks and saw absolutely no improvement whatsoever. And at $59.00 for a small tube .78 fl oz, a rather costly mistake!

Worst Products

Here are some products to avoid!




Worst Mascara

L'Oreal Voluminous Million Lashes This is one disappointing product from a brand which is known for superior quality drug store mascaras. Sadly, their latest is not one of them. With a name like "Million Lashes" and a shiny gold tube, I had high expectations - and using this product was a big let down. The first thing I noticed was an unpleasant, over-powering scent - rather odd for eye make-up!  The brush was puny and even after three carefully applied coats, my lashes were sticky and full of clumps, with absolutely no definition. It dried like glue and flaked off into my eyes, causing substantial irritation. I do not recommend this mascara!
