I have tried too many beauty products through the years. More than I would like to admit and the list includes some embarrassing brands. But like with everyone else there has been growth. As I have gotten older and my knowledge of skincare and makeup has grown, the products that make the cut for everyday use are slim. Let’s see what beauty products I have tried through the years and why they didn’t make the cut.
Let’s start with the makeup products!
Elf Eyeshadows – pigment was nonexistent and product fallout was awful.
Elf Foundation – never lasted, left skin feeling dry, and had an oily texture/look.
Elf Eyeliner – the liquid pen would dry out after one use, going on really light gray, and was not easy to work with.
Elf Mascara – left eyes feeling heavy, and never actually came off when using makeup remover
Elf Lipstick – never lasted longer than five minutes and left lips dry and cracked.
Mary Kay Eyeshadows – pigment was pretty good but the fallout was awful.
Mary Kay Foundation Primer – the worst foundation primer I have ever used, claimed it was oil-free but I swear that’s a lie. The texture of the product also was a big no for me.
Mary Kay Lipstick and Gloss – never lasted longer than five minutes, but had great pigmentation and never left lips dry or cracked.
Anything Ultra Generic Brand – all I can say was cheap! No pigmentation, not easy to work with, and just overall horrible. The packaging was always cool though, I will give it that.
Now for the extensive list of skincare products!
Clean and Clear Products – horrible brand of products to use.
St. Ives Products – another horrible brand of products to use.
Cetaphil Products – left my skin soooo dry!
Biore Products – horrible for your pores.
Neutrogena Makeup Remover Wipes – burned my eyes so much and left skin red after each use.
Elf Skincare Products – never saw a difference.
Ponds Products – left skin feeling oily.
Mary Kay ClearProof Products – saw a difference in the first four weeks but after that, it didn’t help at all.
Any Paper Mask – never say a difference in continuous use.
