Yes, hate is a very strong word, and believe me I don't use it often..
I still remember the time when I said I hated something in maybe Year 6, and my dad told me never to use the word hate. Well dad, i'm sorry, but this word is necessary..
I was pretty surprised when I didn't like these actually because they are respected brands, but yet some of these are just icky.
Okay, first up..
Max Factor - Crème Puff Powder Compact, £5.99
I was looking forward to using this product, but when I first opened this product I was disappointed. It smells HORRIBLE. This may just be me (and some of my friends that I asked, just to see if I was going potty), but it really was rather disgusting. I read the reviews on Boots and some of them said they loved the smell, so I suppose it was just different peoples' perceptions.
After the initial reaction to the smell, I still gave it a go.. I paid a reasonable price for the product and I thought if it worked really well I could overlook the smell.
The powder itself didn't impress me at all, I got the lightest shade, and yet it still came out with an orange tint, and I can honestly say I had slag lines. I tried with less powder but it still didn't work for me. A disappointing buy for Max Factor, I normally love their stuff!
Collection 200 - Colour Lash Mascara, £1.99
I never really expected much from this product - at only about 2 pounds and the first mascara I ever bought (lolz) I didn't have high hopes - but it really was terrible. It went gloopy about a week into it's life and the colour wasn't good. Normally I use the black-est black mascara I can find, and it really doesn't work with my skin. Due to it's short life, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone, although I don't know if it's still purchasable or available or whatever..
Max Factor - Vibrant curve effect Lip gloss, £7.99
&
No7 - High Shine Lip gloss, £8.50
These products are sort of the same - so i'm going to put them together. Both products smell like pineapple. I like pineapple, but I hate these products! I'm so glad I only got a free sample in the Max Factor, so I didn't have to feel bad about not using it. The only lipgloss I really like is Barry M because it's not that sticky, and this product is like the exact opposite. It's sticky and the finish isn't good.
The brush itself is not good - I don't know if in the Max Factor it's just in the small sample tube or if it is in the full size one but the brush can't get to the sides of the tube! It also isn't the best brush to use - as it doesn't cover the whole brush and just generally has a rather shabby effect.
I had high hopes of the No7 - their products are normally so good but after buying the whole £8.50 tube I was incredibly disappointed. It doesn't even last for an hour, it's terrible!
P.S GUYS. In Superdrug until monday, "Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation" is only £4.99! £4 off!
