Disappointing Products

Screen Shot 2015-06-21 at 21.09.31At the beginning of the year, I posted a video on products that left me feeling a little on the disappointed side. So many of you loved that video and have requested an updated version of it. Over the past few months I have compiled a list of products that just didn’t do it for me and some that left me feeling very hard done by after parting with my hard earned cash and I thought it only fair that I should share these products with you guys.

With all the products that I try out every week there are bound to be a few that leave me wanting more. However, in saying that, just because they don’t work for me, doesn’t necessarily mean they won’t work for others. There are bloggers out there, who I know genuinely love a few of the products that I have mentioned.

I would love to hear about any products that have left you feeling a little Meh and if there are products in this video you love, let me know why. Maybe I’m not doing it right!!!

Enjoy  xxx

Kylie Jenner Inspired tutorial

Ok so take the name of this tutorial with a pinch of salt. I was stuck for a name! It’s really only the lips that look anyway Kylie Jenner inspired!! A few weeks ago, when heading off to Galway for the ITWBN event, I posted a picture of the makeup above. So many of you emailed me, or posted on the picture itself, that you would love to see a tutorial. As it is such an easy look to do, I decided to recreate this look in a video, which I have linked down below. I am not trained in makeup, so if I can do a look like this,…

Makeup bag essentials / Makeup for beginners

It will come as no surprise to you lovely lot, that talking about makeup is one of my absolute favourite things to do. I love nothing more than being in a group of woman talking all things beauty. I love helping people pick new products and advising them what will and won’t work for them. However, so often I hear women say, ” Sure I wouldn’t even know where to begin. I haven’t a clue what I should or shouldn’t have in my makeup bag”. Well I have finally put together a video showing you exactly what you need to have a finished look. As filling your makeup bag can be…

Christian Louboutin Wedding shoes unboxing

By the time this post goes live I will be a married woman. A scary thought!!! I mean how in god’s name can I be someones wife? Surely a wife in an apron wearing, iron loving, brown bread backing homely woman? Rather than a makeup loving hobbit!! A few weeks ago I posted a picture on Facebook of the bag in which my wedding shoes came in, and so many of you asked to see them. So I thought rather than just posting a picture, I would do something a little bit different and I decided to record an unboxing video. It was actually Laura from My Makeup Perspective that…

CHARLOTTE TILBURY: MUST-HAVES, MAYBES AND MISSES

If this is your first time to encounter Sharon’s blog Behind Green Eyes, you have seriously been missing out. I love Sharon’s blog. She is beyond honest and absolutely hilarious. In fact she is hands down my favourite snap chatter. Her snaps crack me up on a regular basis. When I have a long list of snaps to view, hand on heart Sharon’s are the first ones that I watch. I have even been caught in public crying laughing at some of her snaps. She’s brilliant.  Sharon also has fantastically expensive taste in makeup, while at the same time she mixes it up with more budget brands. It blows my…

Current Makeup Favourites

It is a very long time since I have recorded a monthly favourites. In fact I would nearly go as far as to say it has been two years!! With life getting in the way, YouTube fell to the wayside. However, 2017 is the year I am getting back on the YouTube horse and bringing you more video. I’ve tried more new makeup than ever before and I have so many bits that I want to share with you. So expect even more favourites ! I have also grown a pair and started to record some makeup tutorials. I always felt my lack of makeup qualification held me back. I’ve…

No Fuss work makeup tutorial

I don’t know about you lot, but in the morning I much prefer an extra 5 minutes in bed, than spending the time creating some amazing looking makeup. For me my makeup must be quick, and easy, because I am just not a morning person. Recently a number of you requested that I film a quick makeup look, so while getting ready last weekend, I set the camera up and and just let it roll. I know this video is very far from perfect and I did contemplate not putting it up, because the makeup isn’t as perfect as I would like it to be, but I suppose it is…

    I haven’t tried any of these but I really enjoyed the rant! 🙂 I’ve been finding more disappointing products these days than good ones. Products that haven’t worked for me – Herbal Essences dry shampoo, Sleek matte lip cream, Rimmel Brow This Way, Revlon ColorStay foundation…I really need to write a post!

    I have found so many disappointing products lately but to just name 3 of them: YSL CCCream – it was awful on my skin and I felt was a product that served no real purpose
    Benefit fake up – this looked like I mixed some clumpy Vaseline and foundation and threw it on my face. It just didn’t take to my skin at all and was really clumpy
    Benefit pore perfection – this actually made my pores look bigger and it’s suppose to be a no1 seller!!
    Loved the video review keep them coming xT

        I’m using the ‘they’re real’ mascara – it’s actually quite good!! The push up liner was a total waste of money. Like complete waste. I like the Bathina and they used to have a gorgeous shower gel not sure if it came back but was gone for years. Some of the benetints are good aswell but as you say a lot of the products are over priced and not good.

    Hey Sinead,

    LOVE LOVE your blog!!! I agree with everything you said!!! Especially about the AMAZING concealer…I have thought I was crazy because so many bloggers including Pippa O’Connor LOVE it…I think its thick, it cakes and there is very little coverage. I am like you I am obsessed with concealers …can’t beat MAC pro long wear!!!

    Tan…I used to LOVE St. Tropez but that was 15 years ago when they were the only tan on the market. I know you didn’t like Vita Liberata Trystals…but have you tried a spray tan…its FLAWLESS…you should give it a go if you haven’t

    It’s mad, I had the very same experience that you had with St tTropez with a vita liberate spray tan before my wedding! But I’m super pale, and I always get them to turn the machine to half spray as my husband is sallow skinned so makes it look fake otherwise! Its the only spray tan that doesnt go patchy on my milk bottle complexion!
