Worst of Beauty 2015

Let me just start off by saying that Worst of Beauty 2015 is quite an extreme title. These products aren't necessarily bad, they just didn't work for me and I found them to be disappointing. 

Maybelline Baby Skin Instant Pore Eraser Primer:

I have nothing against this primer other than the fact it didn't work. It didn't make any difference to the appearance of my pores and it definitely didn't make my makeup last longer. All in all, it wasn't very effective for me. The texture is slippy and silicone based which is exactly what I expected so I can't say that was disappointing. It simply did nothing for my skin.

L'oreal Lumi Magique Face Primer:

Another primer bites the dust. I had a sneaky suspicion when purchasing this that it might not work out because it's essentially a white liquid. White liquids and medium-dark skin tones doesn't tend to go well because they make the skin looks ashy. This primer is a prime (pardon the pun) example of that. It does offer a bit of luminosity, but not enough to counteract the ashiness. That being said, this would be fine applied to the high points of the face and would work well for fairer skin tones.

Max Factor Face Finity Primer:

It would seem that 2015 was the year of primers. I did not get on well with Max Factor's Face Finity Primer. It makes my skin look dull and ashy and it was really difficult to blend in my foundation on top, even when I used my Beauty Blender. It also smells very chemically and that scent doesn't really go away. 

Rimmel East End Snob Lip Liner:

This is such a hyped about product so I feel a little guilty about not liking it. Don't get me wrong, I love the colour. It's a gorgeous natural mauvey pink but the formula, I really really don't like it. It's very dry and crumbly yet it applies very thick and heavy and exaggerates any flaws on the lips. I've tried applying it from the pencil, with a brush, with a balm, with a gloss and with a lipstick. I just can't make it work. It's a real shame because the colour is beautiful.

Bumble and Bumble Hairdresser's Invisible Oil Range:

I'm really glad I got a set of this in the sale because I would have been gutted if I'd spent £30+ on it. The shampoo left my hair squeaky clean, but by the next day, it needed a wash. The conditioner is nice but it doesn't wow me, and at that price point, it needs too. The hair oil was simply too heavy for me and I much prefer my L'oreal Extraordinary Oil.
