3 PRODUCTS I DIDN'T FINISH AND WHY {1}

As a Beauty Blogger I must say that I do pride myself on being somewhat of a good judge when it comes to buying products to review on my blog. Even though I receive products from some companies to try for review I do buy many of my own and I certainly don't want to waste my time and money by reviewing a product that doesn't fit in with either mine or you the readers best interests. 
I also try not to be taken in by other bloggers with either their own choices or products 
that they've also been given to review. 

Having said this I recently broke my own rule and was stupidly swayed into buying 2 products after reading so many "glowing" reviews on South African social Media.

Here are 3 products (actually there's 4 but I've grouped the shampoo & Conditioner together) that despite hating waste I really couldn't finish, so hence this type of post, which I have never written before and hopefully won't feel the need to write and post in the future.

1.

The Comforter Shower Cream by Lush was bought on the strength of my love of the hugely popular Christmas Holiday Limited Edition product-Snow Fairy. Big mistake as I hate the fragrance and cannot bring myself to finish it. Now this is all a personal preference and in no ways diminishes the actually effectiveness of the product, but unfortunately I cannot get passed the fruit  fragrance, so it didn't get finished.

Dove Advanced Oxygen Moisture Shampoo and Conditioner were the 2 products that I bought after reading those "glowing" reviews. To find out more please click on the pink link below to read my original review. If ever there were products that had been totally over-hyped then these would be top of my list. 

After reading reviews and tweets I felt I was missing out on the best hair products of the year. I understand that many may disagree with me, but I personally believe that honesty was truly lacking in many of those reviews and having bought these 2 products myself I'm not obliged in any way to give that all impressing review.

Eucerin is both a popular and well respected skincare brand, but my first experience sadly didn't impress. I tried the Eucerin Dermato Clean Eye Make-Up Remover, which wasn't bad, but I really didn't see the point in continuing to use, what I thought was an ineffective eye make up remover, when there are so many other great ones out there.

EUCERIN DERMATOCLEAN EYE MAKE-UP REMOVER {REVIEW}

Recently I have been exploring products from brands that I have never tried and Eucerin is one such brand.

As always here's a brief overview of the brands philosophy :

"Eucerin is the dermatologist-recommended skin care brand based on honest skin science. It sustains and restores skin’s health and gives you the confidence of a healthy radiant skin.

Through working with dermatologists and using advanced technological expertise, Eucerin guarantees reliable and highly effective product innovations on highest dermatological standards"

Eucerin DermatoClean Eye Make-Up Remover

I have been posting reviews on my blog for the past year on Eye Make-Up Removers that fall into a budget price range, thus making them affordable to all.

The Eucerin DermatoCLEAN Eye Make-Up Remover 

has been under review this month and here is my review:

Eucerin DermatoCLEAN Eye Make-Up Remover 

is suitable for all skin types and is fragrance, alcohol, colourant and paraben free, ophthalmologically tested  and is suitable for contact lens wearers. It also claims to thoroughly remove waterproof mascara and eye make-up. 

I generally prefer a bi or dual phase non greasy formula, which this one is, so as always you must shake thoroughly before use to activate the 2 layers.

The upper blue layer tackles the gentle removal of water resistant make up, whilst the lower transparent layer removes water soluble make-up.

Eucerin has a combination of active ingredients that result in both the lashes and the skin around the eye left feeling both cleansed and moisturised. 

I found this remover only to be effective after a long initial soak of the cotton pad over my eye area and even then, it took many wipes over the lashes and around the eye to remove all traces of my eye make-up and mascara. 

I personally feel there are several other removers that I have reviewed that just work far quicker and easier than Eucerin.

Retailing at R115 for 125mls it's also at the top end of my budget price range.

However this product leaves no residue on the skin around the eye and has absolutely no fragrance and is one to seriously consider if you have sensitive and allergy prone eyes.
