Re: Beauty Fails Let’s share

It took me years to order some of the Josie Maran products....I finally did and I don't care for any of them. Too greasy and they didn't perform well for me.

Estée Lauder Doublewear changed their formula about six years ago. It’s my holy grail foundation and believe me I tried them all. It comes off very easily for me. Try getting a sample, they encourage to get a ten day sample and try it out again. You might be pleasantly surprised.

I tried it last summer @Allthingsgirly67 . The consistency was like paint and it just proves how different we all are. 😳

Just about every concealer I have ever tried.  There are too many to list from high end to drugstore.  Have yet to find one that works for me.


@JudyL have you tried Maybelline ERASER? If you find the right color it really does work.


@Trinity11  - thank you for the recommendation but, unfortunately, it didn't work for me.  Read your post re the Double Wear foundation and don't know what's changed but it doesn't look good on me anymore either.  Like how it looks when I first put it on, but when checked a few hours later, it did not look good - dry and settling, etc.

Now now-i said we have to share, we might be helping another poster a costly mistake or find the same recurring items. @Trinity11- I saw those Covergirl powders as I was looking for a talc free powder and the reviewers complained about the color. I have to say in my opinion they were right.

That was Sporty Shorty who posted about Covergirl @Allthingsgirly67 😊

The Maybelline mascara that comes in the green and pink container.  It took me a lot of Pond's cream and tugging and pulling to get that mascara off my eyelashes.

Elf Holy Hydration face cream with SPF 30.  Made me breakout.  Decided not to stray from Neutragena Hydroboost City Shield SPF 25.

Re: Beauty Fails Let’s share

(I guess they don't call it "double wear" for nothing!

I've heard that foundation touted by a zillion people.)

 

Not experimenting too much, but my most recent fail was Laura's brow pencil. Just a big fail.

 

Also, remind me never to buy anything from Charlotte T. again! Though the colors are nice in eye liners, they do not wear well at all.

Re: Beauty Fails Let’s share

@JudyL  I found out about the Cheetoh orange oxidized Covergirl makeup disaster by running some quick errands that day and seeing strange looks from people as I walked by.  I walked into a Walgreens and looked at a mirror there and was horrified and speed walked home looking down the whole way.  Good times Smiley LOL

Re: Beauty Fails Let’s share

@Allthingsgirly67  Yeah, the reviews for the terrible Covergirl oxidizing powder are right- they should call it "Run for Cover, Girl!" Smiley Very Happy
