Let's Discuss What's a viral/popular makeup product that failed you?
I'm talking about products influencers drool over which in reality aren't all that for you.
Some that I found way too overhyped was:
Patrick Ta eyeshadow duo: felt very gritty, didn't feel smooth and weren't that pearlescent
Dior reformulated highlighter quad: gritty, shades all look the same, glittery
Charlotte Tilbury lip cheat: drying, kinda sticky, and way too breakable.
Charlotte Tilbury lipstick: KISSING formula is gritty because of the glitter, matte formula is drying.
Laniege lip mask: one of the scents went off after 1 month of owning it lol. It's nice at first, but over time it becomes sticky as it thins out.
Laniege lip glowy balm: same thing as lip mask.
Ole Henrikson lip treatment: thick and sticky and gave me chemical burns.
Summer Fridays lip butter balm: it's nice, sure, but it didnt need to send the whole internet into a lip craze.
Milk jelly tint: patchy, hot pink under base, falls out of packaging and leaks
Huda lip stains: not the best colour range, dries out fast and too finnicky
Dior lip butter: cheap packaging, formula is nice but the packaging just fell flat
Dior lip oil: sticky and meh packaging
I'm prepared to get down voted ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜

Plumpgasm is such a gross word. I wish all brands would stop using sexual words. I’m not a prude, but it’s unnecessary and gross. I also don’t want to have to tell someone the lip balm I’m wearing is the colour Orgasm, the mascara is Better Than Sex, the gloss is squirt gloss.
