Five Popular Beauty Products I HATE

Hi, dolls!
I wanted to make today's post a little bit more interesting and decided to tell you about 5 well-known beauty products which didn't work for me. I am aware that these products are very popular and most people like them but I do regret buying them and don't see myself reaching for them any time soon. If you're interested to find out more, let's get right into the review!


The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5
£5.90/$8

I bought this product based on recommendation and its good reviews, however I was pretty disappointed. After a week of constant use, it broke my skin out and I had to stop using it. I didn't see or felt any difference of this on my skin except the bad breakout. 


Kylie Cosmetics Matte Liquid Lipstick
£21/$29

As much as I love Kylie Cosmetics and their products, I cannot stand their matte liquid lipstick formula. I find their matte liquid lipsticks to be incredibly drying, making my lips feel very wrinkly and uncomfortable. However, I do love Kylie's other formulas, especially her high glosses and creme lipsticks. I would love to buy ‘Koko K’ or ‘Kylie’ shades in her creme lipstick formulas! 



No7 Purifying Foaming Cleanser
£7.50/$11

No7 is one of my favourite skincare brands, however their Purifying Foaming Cleanser was a disappointment for me. After testing it out for a week, my skin had the worst reaction to it and it caused my skin to breakout quite badly. I definitely prefer to spend £20 on Kylie's foaming cleanser which my skin seems to be loving a lot!

Revolution PRO New Neutral Translucent Pressed Powder
£7/$10

There was a time where I was constantly buying new Revolution products and this powder was one of the products I was super excited to try. It was a real disappointment. There is nothing translucent about this - it's a pure white powder, making my face look like I'm Casper the friendly Ghost. I don't see this working on anyone's skin tone because it's like putting white chalk all over your face. Sadly this went straight to the bin. 


Florence By Mills Zero Chill Face Mist
£10/$10

Zero Chill face mist is very basic and way too overpriced. It's refreshing but not a must-have as it doesn't do anything special for your skin. There are other cheaper facial sprays that will hydrate your skin for much longer than this one does. 

There isn't a particular order to these products as I dislike them equally and wouldn't recommend them at all. I hope you have enjoyed this post and please remember that just because they didn't work for me, doesn't mean they won't work for you! Let me know down in the comments what products you have been disliking lately and why! xo

  8. Omg! I used to love the Kylie matte lipkits until I found the velvet ones! Those are way better in formula in my opinion and it pairs really well with the lip liner as well. I've found two brands recently that I really love have great lip products are Morphe and Estate Cosmetics. If you are looking for some good products to try, they have been trusted brands that I use again and again. No pressure to try, but I have discount codes for both! You can find my codes on https://www.wethrift.com/morphe code: GLAMFAM1078 and https://www.wethrift.com/estate-cosmetics code: MAKEUPWITHALEXA I hope you are able to find some great makeup goodies on there! Thanks again Olivia, for your amazing blog posts! Always looking forward to reading the next.
