Overrated products

Hey Ladies I'm sure we have all believed the hype when it came to beauty products because of raves, limited edition products, exclusives and cute packaging (BTW I'm a sucker for cute packaging). I'm still trying to overcome such an addictive but fun problem. You never want to feel like you've missed out on something, right? I know I know.. This post may have a bit of ranting but it's just to share some insight of my opinions, AGAIN my "opinions"! Maybe certain products in this post have worked for you but they sure as heck have not for me & here is why:

• MAC's lipglass - What was I thinking? The color payoff is great and all but the stickiness is not wassup! It leaves almost a residue feeling and after a while of wearing it it looks gross. Some are more wearable then others but i'll stick to my cremesheens now.

• Biore Strips - This purchase is definitely overrated! i saw absolutely no difference nor was there any blackheads on the strip after removal. It's not worth the pain of pulling that sucker off. I found better results heating a washcloth up, placing it on my nose and squeezing.

• Moroccan Argan Oil Reconstructive Mask- I gave a defined review about this product on a previous post but also decided to continue using it to see if I had a change of heart and ummm I don't. It still leaves a long drying time, rough texture and removes hair color. Not impressed!

• Sonia Kashuk Bent Eyeliner Brush - SIGH.. I really really tried to love this brush due to the fact that the reviews are insanely great but it's like the brush is not stiff enough for a thin defined line. I find that angled flat brushes tend to work better for me.

• EOS Lip Balm - This item is definitely a looker. I'm sure most buyers purchased this product because of the egg packaging. Well, it does nothing for me. After having it on for about an hour I feel the need to exfoliate my lips. It builds like this second layer of god knows what and I am not a fan of that feeling.

 

Sally's Beauty Review !!

Okay Ladies, so it's been a lil over two weeks (which I believe is enough time to consume a review) & I wanted to fill you guys in on what i think about these products. Again this is just my opinion and what works for me. 

• Beyond the Zone split mender  $7.29 - i cant stress it enough how AMAZING this product is. It mends those loose dry strands w/out that oily base. Great for both a natural hair do or a blow-dry. What can I say?! "I'm in love"! The packaging is super duper cute and the product has this great texture that just smells so yummy like all the other beyond the zone products. I definitely recommend this product and will repurchase it myself, I'm very satisfied with this buy =] .

• One 'n Only argan oil restorative mask $9.49 - Being that this product has been raved so highly I'm definitely disappointed. It's not what it was all cracked up to be. It did do a lil reconstruction but it had a long drying time and my hair did not feel smooth. I also want to add that the first time i used this product I noticed that my roots looked really light so i colored my hair and after using it again I noticed the same issue so I'm going to assume that it removes some coloring. Have you guys experienced the same thing? I guess to each his own but i will not be repurchasing this item.

• Beyond the Zone turn up the heat protection spray 8.29 - The smell of this product is unexplainable but i just want to lick my fingers after applying. Ha ha that sounded totally grotesque, my bad! The texture is a lil oily but it pretty much serves it's purpose; let's just say a lil goes a long way. It does smooth out those fly aways so it's almost like a 2 in 1 (heat protection and after shine). I currently have damaged hair so it works for me but if you ladies out there don't I wouldn't recommend this product. Not sure if I will be repurchasing but I'm pretty content with the product.

• Folicure Intensive Vitamin Treatment $2.49 -I can't give an extended review because I pretty much brought the sample size but one things for sure my hair did feel and look a lot fuller. So high five for that! I would recommend this treatment and I am for sure going to try it again.

• Heal to Toe feels like new foot softener $1.79 - $4.99 - GREAT GREAT product. I'm not too thrilled about the smell but this thing is no LIE! After just the first night of application I woke up in the morning like i had the new new feet (in my ATL vc lol)! The only downfall is the smell, yes I know! It smells and feels like hair grease so i recommend to use socks after applying this product not only because you'll get a better outcome but because the smell is unattainable. Will I be repurchasing this item?! I sure will, maybe even before i hit pan =D .

• Mr.Pumice two sided ultimate pumice bar $2.79 - I mean a pumi bar is a pumi bar in my opinion but everyone should have one in their shower. Whether male or female, you need one!
