TOP 5 Overrated Beauty Products

5. Sally Hanson Miracle Gel

Shade: Street Flair
                It costs over $20 dollars to buy one shade and the top coat and it says it will stay on for about 14 days. This just isn’t true. Mine sometimes make it a week. I am really hard on my nails but I still expected more from this product. On top of all that I bought one of the colors that was supposed to be matte and that was defiantly a lie. In general just buy cheap nail polish and use an Essie top coat. It works the best for me and saves me tons of money.

4. Make Up Forever Ultra HD Invisible Coverage Foundation

                I really REALLY wanted to like this. But it is just under whelming. I wanted flawless invisible coverage but it is just too light of coverage for my taste. That along with the price of $43 it just isn’t   worth it. I didn’t actually buy this product luckily I received a free sample and after a few goes realized it is not the best buy for me.

3. LAQA & Co. Cheeky Lip 

Shade: Cray Cray
                First off the name of this shade is ridiculous. But other than that I was really excited to receive this in a Birch Box. I really thought it was going to be completely amazing but it just isn’t. First the shade is WAY too orange for me and not wearable. Past that it is very shear and comes off on everything. I think it is supposed to be moisturizing and the texture is beautiful but it does nothing for my lips at all. I wouldn’t bother with this if it wasn’t sent to me.

2. NYX Felt Tip Liner

Shade: Jet Black
                So I bought this a few years ago hoping that it would give me a beautiful cat eye and it was very disappointing. I wish I had never spent the money. The pigment isn’t black enough at all and the tip quickly dried out. It was impossible to get a good line that wasn’t splotchy because the product just didn’t come out and when it did if you went over a place that already had makeup on, it would erase the line. It’s just terrible. Maybe they reformulated but I will never get this eyeliner again.

1. Smashbox 24 Hour Photo Finish Eye Primer


                This being a Smashbox product I expected quite a lot. And it does keep my eye makeup on all day the problem is that it feels super greasy on my eyelids and makes it very hard to apply the eye shadow. Really it’s like it just absorbs all the makeup I put on and I have to use at least 3 times as much eye shadow when I use this. I also don’t appreciate how thick it is. It is hard to control how much comes out because the product is like a paste. Overall just terrible. Maybe if you have really dry skin this would work or maybe I’m doing something wrong but I’m just really sad that I spent any money on this.

  1. The smashbox primer was the biggest let down of my trip to ulta. Why would they let me buy that eyelid slime?! It is horrible but u use it because it cost so much.

    1. I know I was just unimpressed with most smashbox product in general. I expect so much more for the price!
