When products don’t keep their promises they are classified as a makeup miss. Below are some products you should avoid.

LORAC Behind The Scenes Eye Primer

Thankfully I didn’t purchase this primer, it came as a free gift with the LORAC Pro Palette. This primer does brighten eyeshadows, however it does not last. On oily eyelids it creases after only an hour or two of wear. It smells like clay and it needs to be shaken before use. The full size version cost $21 and there are dozens of better primers that cost half the price.

Buxom Luminizer in Venus

This liquid luiminzer appears like white glitter juice on tan, deep, and dark skin tones. The best use for this product is as a body glitter on your legs and arms. It requires a lot of rubbing in so if you put it on top your foundation it will change its color. I also tried using it as a primer but again it mixed with the color of my foundation and never truly “set.”

Fresh Sugar Rose Tinted Lip Treatment

For $25 you would think this “lip treatment” is amazing, but it’s not. The smell is pleasant and the size is good however, your lips just aren’t that soft after using this product. This lip balm is also prone to melting in hot climates, which is what happen to mine when I took it to the beach. There are better lip balms at the drugstore for 1/5 the price.

Coastal Scents Camouflage Palette 10 Concealer Shades

Years ago I tried Coastal Scents eyeshadow and when I applied it my eyelids they began to swell. By the end of the day my eyelids were swollen shut. I wanted to give Coastal Scents another try, so I purchased the concealer palette. There is no shade that matches my concealer shade and the different shades don’t mix well with each other. They caused my skin to breakout and they don’t dry matte. If you have sensitive skin or you want quality concealer, don’t purchase tis product.

Make Up For Ever Aqua Cream shade 20

This products works as a cream eyeshadow, but it is so hard to blend. One dot of this product equals to about 2 to 3 minutes of blending for each eye. When I purchased this eyeshadow I thought it would similar to MAC’s paint pots or Maybelline’s color tattoos but these are totally different. Although they are more pigmented, the time it takes to blend it out makes me never want to use it. It also smells bad and stains your fingers.
