MY TOP 3 MOST DISAPPOINTING BEAUTY PRODUCTS 2022

I have been uploading my annual "Top" posts since 2013 and these lists 

highlight my top tried and tested beauty recommendations, which hopefully

 assists you when deciding where to allocate your beauty budget spend.

Fortunately the "Disappointing" category is the one that I have

 the least trouble compiling,

 hence why it's always the first "Top" post to be published here on my blog.

I usually have around 3-4 products on this list and I have

  3 for 2022.

The reasons for disliking a beauty product can vary immensely and my

experiences are personal to me and may not apply to you.

Whilst some dislikes

 are due to being totally let down after buying into

the over-hyping on social media, other reasons could be due to

me not enjoying the texture, poor performance, packaging fail or even

 the fragrance not being to my liking.

You may disagree totally with my findings and that's ok.

I will leave the Pink Links below so you can read the full product reviews.

HOURGLASS

CAUTION

EXTREME LASH MASCARA

HOURGLASS claims that this is a powerhouse mascara that 

delivers 400% more volume, dramatic length and sky-high lift 

for extreme lashes and adds dramatic volume, length and lift.

Sadly I cannot agree with the above and whilst it was a "nice" mascara

and I hate the word nice, but for me it didn't dramatically lift or

lengthen, yet it did add volume.

I decided to read some other reviews on this mascara and I think

I'm missing something, as many were "rave" reviews.

From just the name alone I was expecting great things from this mascara,

but I was hugely disappointed.

There are many more mascaras on the market that perform

way better at a fraction of the price so,

 just a word of CAUTION... 

don't waste your money.

NARS

BLUSH/BRONZER 

DUO

LAGUNA BRONZER

This award winning bronzer claims to offer the 

"Ultimate Healthy Glow"

Unfortunately I have nothing to rave about re this product, it's just

a nice bronzer.

ORGASM BLUSH

Is a cult-favorite, bestselling NARS Blush and delivers a weightless, 

 natural-looking rush of cheek colour. 

whilst I found this Peachy Pink blush with a shimmer of gold more

 enjoyable than the bronzer, it's still just another "nice shade".

To be honest 

I was soo disappointed and I'm not sure what all the hype is about

 regarding these 2 products, despite having zillions of cult followers, 

sadly I won't be one of them...

SKIN PROUD 

REFRESHER

I do love a good rose facial spray and again this product like their

 Icicle Cooling Eye Serum Stick

 spoke to me, but unfortunately I didn't fall in love this time.

The issue I had with this product was not the packaging, it was pink and

 had a very good spray nozzle, it did refresh my skin, 

it was the pineapple fragrance that I didn't take to.

I also found the mist to be a little sticky on the skin, so sadly this

product hasn't been finished, hence its appearance on this post.

SKIN PROUD REFRESHER HYDRATING MIST {REVIEW}

Skin Proud 

is the brainchild of the British Entrepreneur Charlotte Knight, and this isn’t 

her first trip around the beauty block, as she’s previously founded both

 Ciate and Lottie London. 

Skin Proud was recently and very quietly launched into South Africa 

and now appears on the shelves in Edgars Beauty, Arc Stores

and is available online from Woolworths and Superbalist.

This relatively small collection of skin care products with a Gen Z focus 

(a category that I definitely don't fit in to) is a no fuss, simple approach

to effective and affordable skin care.

The formulas are created with a blend of both powerful natural extracts

 and science-based ingredients.

It's 100% Vegan and Clean, Cruelty Free and suitable for all skin types.

I was attracted sometime ago to one of their eye products

Icicle Cooling Eye Serum Stick and I have just opened my third one.

I absolutely adore this product, now whilst it isn't my primary eye

care product, far from it, it has found a place in my daily

skin care routine and if you want to find out why then

 REFRESHER HYDRATING MIST

This pineapple scented facial mist will refresh and hydrate tired skin. 

Formulated with hydrating Japanese rose water, refreshing aloe vera

 and refining witch hazel extract, this super-fine mist is perfect for a skin

that's in need of a boost or quick pick me up any time of the day or night.

I do love a good rose facial spray and again this product like the

 Icicle Cooling Eye Serum Stick

 spoke to me, but unfortunately I didn't fall in love this time.

The issue I had with this product was not the packaging, it was pink and

 had a very good spray nozzle, it did refresh my skin, it was the pineapple fragrance that I didn't take to.

I also found the mist to be a little sticky on the skin and whilst I will

finish the product it won't be a re-purchase for me.

I do understand that I am not the target market for this brand, so

maybe the stick serum was a one off, however I do think that this brand

 offers a great, easy, yet serious skincare introduction to those

 Gen Z'ers.
