List your disappointing products
As a beauty therapist I've tried loads of products. However I was really let down by Dr Perricone eye cream for dark circles. I spent £75 pounds on 2 creams (the most I've ever spent) and there was absolutely no difference.
What other products should we be wary of?

Re: List your disappointing products
Loreal Collagen mascara - the one with Eva Longoria on the commercials, it SUCKS!!!
NARS makeup primer - way too greasy and white/sunscreen ish.
The entire Erno Laslo line, way overrated.

Re: List your disappointing products
To me, basically ALL L'oreal sucks!
Ah, I have to update that! I LOVE Kerastase, their hair conditioner (except the horrible perfumey smell) it does great w/damaged hair!

Bare Minerals oil control Primer.
Sticky to apply, dries to be inflexible with the natural movements of the facial skin. Coats fine facial peach-fuzz hair with whitish residue. Does not improve application and/or staying power of mineral makeup as promised.
I will be sticking with my neutrogena 15 sunscreen/moisturizer. It acts as the perfect primer for bare minerals foundation.

Big Sexy Hair - flip it over. They make an awesome volumizing mousse, but flip it over is Crap!! It doesn't do anything but spray a sticky, smelly mess all over your hair. Ugh! And it really smells bad. like burning plastic. And provides little to no volumizing.

The entire Loreal EverPure sulfate free hair care line - don't waste a cent of your hard earned money on this crap!

Re: List your disappointing products
No joke, Proactive. Didn't do anything for me. I still have pretty much full bottles of it packed away somewhere.
-
Re: List your disappointing products
totally agree ^ proactive didnt do shit for me, i used it for at least a month with no difference. dermatologist gave me something and recommended head and shoulders (which is on a thread here somewhere) which helps skin clear up.
-
Re: List your disappointing products
I totally agree with what was said about Proactive. Anything for acne is a waste of money in my experience, beside what the derm prescribes. I wish I read this thread like a month ago before I order Bare Minerals Oil Control Primer. It dries so peely and doesn't do anything to make my skin look smoother.

A Benefit product, (actually a pair) brow 'mascara' UGH & pink pencil highlighter.
Highlighter was cool, but the brow thing, was basically a nasty watery goopy mess

Re: List your disappointing products
Cover Girl - Line Exact liquid eye liner.
This product is awful. Barely any color comes out no matter how many times you shake a bran new bottle.
-
Re: List your disappointing products
Everything Cover Girl sucks, IMHO.
BUT, they do carry the highest rated Drugstore mascara, Cover Girl Lash Blast. I want to try it when I run out of it what I have.

Believe it or not La Mer. The cleanser and toner dried my skin out and then the moisturizer made me somehow have greasy yet dry skin.

Yes! I've heard La Mer is way overrated! I always read reviews on products like this on MUA before I buy them. I've heard the La Prairie marine night face lotion is a much better alternative, if you are looking for a high end high performance face cream. That will be my next purchase. Leaving the country today, I need to pick that one up at duty free!

Re: List your disappointing products
^ I couldn't believe it! I spent almost $300 and it destroyed my skin for weeks after Id stopped using it.

Lamer has never been the same since estee lauder bought it. I had samples years ago and I liked it so I bought a jar last year, I ended up returning it. I dont even use the free sample bag I recieved with the purchase and there are a ton of products in it.

Estee Lauder bought it? Well that makes more sense. I tried it yrs ago and loved it too which is what made me want it again. I didn't understand why there was such a diff this time.

Erno Laslo and Merle Norman. Blech. Don't know why they still get business.

Re: List your disappointing products
Jayatee, I just did some research and read they bought the recipe but had trouble replicating it. Thats explains why its not as good. Sorry to tj, carry on.

Re: List your disappointing products
Most of Cover girl,Maybelline and similar cheaper make up,especially the foundation.

Re: List your disappointing products
i've bought and tried loreal telescopic liquid eyeliner on 2 separate occasions, and both times it gave me a raging eye infection i had to go to a doctor for.

Anything by Sally Hansen sux

Re: List your disappointing products
^^^ I can believe that! I tried their "diamond strength, no chip nail color" and it started chipping faster than any polish I've ever tried. my nails were a wreck in less than a day. Now revlon makes a damn good nail polish
-
Re: List your disappointing products
I like products made from natural stuff mostly, so everything else seems to suck.
I buy normal makeup. Lately I've been buying avalon from walmart - the creams and stuff.
I love it so far, almost as good as homemade but easier for me.
Every face wash that said it gets rid of blackheads does not work.
I think only diet and exfoliation can do that.

Re: List your disappointing products
I have a bottle of that diamond no chip stuff too! Not only did it chip fast but the color was wayyy lighter than the color on the bottle.
I tried a Revlon one that didn't chip for weeks, but the color was kinda weird.
I got a Sally Hansen Salon nail polish though... so incredible. Chips after a couple days but it has a really intense color.
