Product Fails

Hello Gorgeous,

Today, I want to talk about product fails.  What I mean by this is, products that did not live up to their claims, or products that just didn't work for me.  That being said, these products may work for you, and you may like them, they just did not work for me- so take this with a grain of salt!

The first product I want to talk about is the Rimmel London's Scandaleyes (Volume Flash) Mascara.  The claim on this product is that with the maxdensity brush, lashes get covered with attention from corner to corner.  I bought this product because I had never bought a Rimmel London mascara before, and I wanted to give it a try.  The large brush intrigued me as well.  However, upon using the product, it did absolutely nothing for my eyelashes.  It basically combed them straight forward, not up and out like it was supposed to.  There was no added length or volume, and I had to work with it for an excessive amount of time.  After giving this product a try for a few days, it made its way into my trashcan.  This mascara did absolutely nothing for me, and in turn I will probably not  buy a Rimmel London mascara again.  Have you tried this mascara?  If so, did or does it work for you? Rimmel Scandaleyes (Ulta.com)


The next product I want to talk about is the OGX Hydrate + Defrizz Kukui Oil Conditioner.  I had run out of my Biotin & Collagen conditioner, so I decided I wanted to try a different OGX conditioner.  This conditioner is supposed to repel humidity, while providing a smooth texture.  In my mind, conditioner is supposed to hydrate, defrizz, and detangle.  When I used this conditioner, my hair felt absolutely awful in the shower.  Usually, when I condition my hair it feels soft and almost slippery.  After rinsing out this conditioner, my hair felt coarse and honestly just bad.  Upon trying to style my hair after my shower, it was ridiculously tangled!  How does that even happen?!  Another thing I did not like about this product was the scent.  When I smelled it in the store, I liked the scent, but after using it a few times, the scent was yet another thing that turned me off from this product.  I gave this conditioner to my friend Channing to try, thinking maybe it was just my hair type.  She also had negative things to say about it though, "This product honestly made my hair unmanageable, and my hair was even more frizzy then if I used a product that was not for frizz control.  This stuff just isn't good," she said.  I did not want this product to be bad, I just wanted it to work-- and it didn't! OGX Kukui Oil Conditioner (Ulta.com)

The final product I want to add to this Product Fail's blog, is the ULTA Baked Bronzer.  I decided I would try this ULTA brand bronzer (the stores own brand).  I bought this bronzer on the recommendation of a friend, who this bronzer works for.  For me, to be honest, this stuff is junk.  Due to the winter, I am quite pale right now.  I wanted a nice bronzer to add some color to my cheeks.  The pigmentation of this stuff is awful.  When I swirled my fluffy bronzer brush in the product, barely any product showed up on the tip of my brush, and even less showed up on my cheeks.  Also, this stuff is $10.  It's not like it's a super cheap drugstore bronzer.  Needless to say, I am quite unhappy with this product.  ULTA Baked Bronzer (Ulta.com)
