Products I'm Disappointed In #1

I don't like to review products that I don't get along with as I hate to write bad reviews, however personally I know how helpful it is to see the construct reviews as well as those that rave about products. I think that pointing out those not so great buys can help others out by letting them know what to avoid, yet also gives you the reasons why they are bad, and as everyone is different these issues may not affect everyone, meaning these products could be great for you also!

Firstly is the much loved Maybelline Rocket mascara, I know a lot of you will be shocked about this but I just really didn't get along with it. The consistency of the product was to liquidy and clumped my eyelashes together, which is a big issue for me when it comes to mascaras. I think it's the silicone brush and the fact that the bristles are quite short, therefore don't really help the lashes in any way. However with all that said I am going to give this another go as I hate to waste products and want to find out if I can uncover the reason it is so loved here in the blogosphere!

Next up is the Rimmel Sexy Curves mascara, now this one was well loved a good while back, and I remember it being raved about and loved for a really long time. Yet when I went to use it, I just immediately knew it was not for me; the wand is very long and thin with, again, small stumpy bristles that don't really do much with your lashes. I guess it does the job yet I wouldn't say it gave me anything to play with volume or length wise, which was very disappointing. 

Continuing with Maybelline, nothing personal honest!, is the Colour Sensational Popstick in 080 Cherry Pop, I bought this on a whim from Fragrence Direct and actaully really liked it at first, yet it started to dawn on me that the colour really wasn't that appealing and I saw another disappointed review that described it perfectly (I think it might have be Miss Budget Beauty but I'm not sure), they said the colour it came out made them look like they had gotten spaghetti sauce around their mouth, and I couldn't say it better myself; it actually took me a while to pinpoint why I didn't like it before I saw that review. 

And last but not least, MUA's matte lipstick. A lot of people have praised MUA on the ability to create such a great lipstick range for so cheap, so when I heard a matte range was going to be added, I was excited. I immediately picked one up and was so keen to try it until...I put it on. It was so so drying and clung horribly to any dry patches. I hate to say this as I really do like MUA and they have some really good products, however I think with this lipstick, like many other matte formulas, you pay for what you get and that is just the way it goes.

So there we go, out of 4 I am willing to retry 1, oh dear. However I do think it is worth trying out some products even if they aren't to your taste, you can't get any hits with no misses! 
I hope this post was helpful and that you enjoyed reading this; I will try and keep doing these if I find any more products that don't meet my expectations, so stay posted :)
