boe Professional Pout Perfect Lip Cream - This looks so pretty, I love the colour, but the product is disappointing. It's a very thin, unsubstantial formula and it's really grainy. Being a lip cream I expected a thicker, creamy formula, not something that feels light and grainy. The color payoff isn't great and half an hour after application it has disappeared and my lips are bare.
Youngblood lipstick - I'm so, so upset about my Youngblood lipstick. I've tried a few Youngblood products and really liked them, so I had high hopes for the lipstick but the first time I used it, it snapped off at the base. I put it back together but it snapped off again. If it was a cheap lipstick I wouldn't have minded, but when I pay $35 for a lipstick I expect it to be much better quality.
Kmart Toffee and Apple lip balms - I don't know why I'm even bothering to write about these. When I pay $2 for something I really shouldn't be surprised that it's crap. Even the boys refused to use these balms.
Gerard Cosmetics lipstick and lipgloss - These get so much hype, people are constantly raving about how amazing they are. I've since discovered that prior to them sending out products for review, they make the blogger/youtuber etc agree to post a positive review. And people agree to it! How unethical! But it does explain all the rave reviews.
These products are no better than drugstore products. In fact the Rimmel and Maybelline lipsticks are better quality.
The lipstick has cheap plastic packaging that feels flimsy. The lipstick itself is okay but nothing amazing. As for the gloss, it's meh. It does the job but it's nothing to write home about.
Avon Ultra Colour Lip Crayon - It's no secret I'm obsessed with chunky lip crayons, I need to try them all. This one I wish I hadn't bothered with. It doesn't mention it or show in any of the swatches, but it's a glitter bomb. All I can feel when I wear this is gritty glitter particles on my lips.
Rimmel Velvet Matte nail polish - These had so much potential but they are a big fail for me. When used on my fingers I don't even get a full day before they chip and on my toes, where nail polish usually remains unchipped for at least a week, I get two days. That's pretty woeful.
W7 Super Pout - This is very similar to the boe lip cream. It's gritty, really thin and just unpleasant.
Savy by DB Nourishing lip liner - There is nothing nourishing about this lip liner. It's extremely hard, drags across my lips and barely leaves any color. I've tried sharpening it and warming it up but it made no difference.
OXX Lip Crayon - Another cheapie and another dud. The color payoff just isn't there. It takes about five layers to even see a slight hint of color.
Manicare Artiste contour brush - I've been using Manicare eye shadow brushes for years without any problems so I wasn't expecting the face brushes to be any different. They are. This brush really irritates my sensitive skin. I used it twice and both times I got itchy red welts on my face.
