Hello girls!
I m here again, this time with a tag. Not because I don't have products to review (I have quite a lot), but I have lost my camera's usb cable, so I can't charge my camera or move the photos to PC.
So, until the cable I ordered arrives, I'll do some posts that don't need photos taken from me.
( In this post, photos taken from official sites, or selling sites)
It was something I had to do anyway, not because I like trashing products or something, but because there are enough products I regret buying,and I want to know if other people share the same experience with me.
There are of course many other products that I regret buying as well, apart from those, and I m forgetting them now because either I have given them away, or throw them. Those just came to my mind, that's all.
So here is the ''Hall of shame'' list :
• Lengthening and defining mascara - Elf
I have already told you that is was useless and it dried very soon. I m very peculiar when it comes to mascaras, and this was the worst one I tried. Now you can say ''What do you expect from a mascara that costs 1,5€". Truth. But its not about the money. I have wasted too much money on make up to cry over 1,5€. But I have also tried products of the same price, of really good quality.
• Lip roll-on by The body shop
I bought it because I love everything lemon-orange in creams and balms. But unlike the lemon balm in the pot, this is .. nothing. It just gives you a little smell of orange. watery and greasy and useless.
• X-treme Curl mascara - MUA
Extreme-my-ass. Curl-my-ass. I have very straight eyelashes, and did NOTHING to them. Note, that I use eyelash curler every time, and didn't manage to keep even this!
• Mac Mineralize foundation. I don't regret it because I didn't like it. I do like it a lot. But it has so little product inside, and this little product for 35€ its just too much. Colorstay by Revlon or Dermablend by Vichy have way more product and for more than half the price and they are equally or even better quality.
• Seventeen nail polishes. Okay. I have a love-hate relationship with them. They don't last to my nails, yet, I can't stop buying them (love their color range) and each time I regret buying any of them.
•This ELF pencil. It doesn't write.You have to push it hard, and I m not going to lose my eye over a useless pencil, which is not even white (its pearl white)
•Erre Due lip glosses.
(I can't find a photo from the official site, and I don't have them anymore)
They cost 10 euros, they stay very very long but they are very sticky. Really sticky. Can't-open-my-mouth sticky. I wanted to love them, but I.just.can't.
• Bourjois Eyeshadows. Chalky and hard to use. Quite expensive for their quality.Maybe because the one I had was a pink with shimmer, and the shimmer made it as such. I just disliked it so much.
•Jordana undercover concealer. It sucks. Unlike the rest of the Jordana products which are , on average, AWESOME!I have already ''trashed'' it here
•TBS, black velvet Apricot shower gel. Smels worst after shower, doesn't do lots of foam. Dissapointment.
I was expecting more because I generally like all body products from TBS.And I m not picky when it comes to shower gels, I just want them to smell nice and make a bit of foam.
•Unifiance LRP . This is the only one item from La Roche Posay that I didn't like.Its a bit chalky, very sheer, no color match my skin, and for 21€ I can find many better ones. Unifiance foundation on the other hand, is just AMAZING!That's why I bought that, I was expecting it to be as good as the foundation.
That's all. For now. What about you ''hall of shame'' list? Which products you regret buying and why?
Have you got any experience from those I mentioned?
Lots of love

Tέλειο post Βάσω μου! Θα συμφωνήσω για τα βερνίκια seventeen και τις σκιές της bourjouis.. Εγώ πλέον δε δίνω πάνω από 1-2 ευρώ για βερνίκι νυχιών γιατί ότι και να βάλω στα νύχια μου δεν κρατάει πολύ έτσι κ αλλιώς. Tα golden rose είναι τα μόνα που κρατούσαν περισσότερο απ'όλα και έχουν ΤΕΡΑΣΤΙΑ ποικιλία, οπότε τα αγαπώ! Οι σκιές της bourjouis είναι για πέταμα σχεδόν.. Έχω μια τριπλή και μία μονή, από την τριπλέτα οι 2 σχεδόν δε φαίνονται, και η μονή είναι τίγκα στα glitter που σχεδον σου γδερνουν το ματι κ δε μενουν σε μια μεριά και είναι και chalky.
ΑπάντησηΔιαγραφήΔεν έχω πρόβλημα να δώσω, αν ξέρω οτι αξίζουν (Πχ. china glaze). Αλλα για seventeen, για τα 4 ευρώ που κάνουν, απλώς το μετανιώνω κάθε στιγμή..
ΔιαγραφήΤης bourjois καριβώς αυτό. Δεν κάνει ΤΙΠΟΤΑ! Γδέρνουν, όπως το πες.

Good for you! Lol. Not all of them are bad though (see the Mac).
ΔιαγραφήΑmber Diamond by Dior!
ΑπάντησηΔιαγραφήI just felt just like all girls who bought`Orgasm`by Nars and actually hated it.
I was feeling like disco ball every time i used it,i thought it would be much more subtle,but feels chalky,i tried it evrywhere,eyes,face,body,i hated it,even the distasteful packaging with the big logo.
A reminder not to buy because of the Hype.
Exactly. Not to buy because everyone does. Especially when it comes to super expensive products like the one you bought!
Διαγραφήαχ χαίρομαι που βρήκα και άλλες κοπέλες που δεν μπορούν τα μανό της seventeen,όλες μου οι φίλες έχουν ξετρελαθεί και εγώ τα μίσησα,αν και οπως και εσύ συνεχίζω να παίρνω κάποια χαχα!!!οι σκιές της bourgois έμενα μου αρέσουν δύο έχω,και μάσκαρα της elf δεν έμεινα καθόλου ευχαριστημένη!απο τα άλλα δεν έχω δοκιμάσει κάτι!
ΑπάντησηΔιαγραφήhttp://jiubilo.blogspot.gr/
Τελικά είμαστε όλο και περισσότερες! Και γω τα μισώ αλλα τα λατρεύω κιόλας! Καμία εταιρία δεν έχει τόσο ωραία χρώματα. Αν και οφείλω να ομολογήσω οτι τα σκούρα ψιλο-κρατάνε!
ΔιαγραφήΚαι σένα δεν σου άρεσε η μάσκαρα ε? Νομίζω οτι είναι η πιο άχρηστη. Χειρότερη και απο την Μθα.
*mua
ΔιαγραφήI hate Seventeen polishes too! I think you can use your Bourjois shadows with a wet brush, I hope it works because the pigmentation is really bad (I remember last spring the came up with a pastel collection and -God and Stavroula know how much I love pastels- but when I saw the Bourjois girl wearing them I was so disappointed! No colour payoff!) I love this kind of posts :D
ΑπάντησηΔιαγραφήOkay, We are becoming more and more. I m not alone in this seventeen thing!Hahah!
ΔιαγραφήI gave it away already, I couldn't even stand looking at it (lol, while I still have some useless stuff too).
No color payoff-hard to apply :( So dissapointing!
Yes, I love those posts too. They can prevent you from doing useless buys!
Πρέπει να έχουμε την ίδια σκιά από Bourjois!Εγώ πλέον τη χρησιμοποιώ σαν ρουζ και νομίζω ότι έχω βρει την κατάλληλη χρήση της,απλά πρέπει να επιμείνω λίγο..Αλλά από το να πάει χαμένη..Ωραίο post και χρήσιμο! :)
ΑπάντησηΔιαγραφήΜια ρουζουλί με λίγο χρυσό shimmer? Eγώ αυτήν είχα! Με εκείνο το ΑΘΛΙΟ πινελάκι που είναι μέσα/πάνω στην σκιά.
ΔιαγραφήΧαμένη πήγε ή μαλλον όχι, την φόρτωσα σε μια φίλη. Αν την βολεύτηκε ή όχι, δεν ξέρω!
Ναι,ναι,αυτήν ακριβώς!Μετά από αυτή την εμπειρία,δεν δοκίμασα άλλες σκιές Bourjois!
ΔιαγραφήΟι σκιές της Bourjois μπορούν να χρησιμοποιηθούν μόνο με βρεγμένο πινελάκι, ναι την έχω πατήσει κι εγώ μαζί τους!! Από τα Supreme έχω 5-6, δεν έχω πρόβλημα με την διάρκεια, ίσως και λόγω του top coat που χρησιμοποιώ! Το πρόβλημα μου είναι πως κάποια χρώματα θέλουν 3 περάσματα για να μην κάνουν γραμμές...
ΑπάντησηΔιαγραφήΚαι συ ε? Τέλος πάντων, όπως και να έχει δεν τις ξαναπαίρνω ποτέ! Με τα ίδια χρήματα μπορώ να πάρω πολύ καλυτερα προϊόντα!
ΔιαγραφήΣου κρατάνε? Τι top coat χρησιμοποιείς?
symfonooo apolita vasw mou megalo dikio idika me ta seventen
ΑπάντησηΔιαγραφήΕίναι τραγικά, αλλα τόσο υπέροχα χρώματα ρε γαμώτο!
