Hey friends.
Welcome back.
For those of you who don't know me, I'm Courtney, and I have my two standard poodles, Phaedra
and Nyx, in the room with me so you may see them in the background.
Today I'm going to be sharing my makeup fails of 2017 and these are all the products that
I feel really sucked and I'm going to tell you why they sucked.
But before we jump into this video I want to ask you to hit the little subscribe button
down below so you won't miss any of my videos, like my Best Beauty Products of 2017, that's
coming up soon.
Okay, so the first product that I want to talk about that absolutely sucked and was
a big fail for me was the One Two Lashes.
Now, these are magnetic lashes and I tried wearing them and they are just really difficult
to make them look right.
I bought these because of YouTuber Stephanie Lange.
I absolutely love her.
She does the best hooded eye makeup videos of anybody on YouTube and she put these on,
she made it look so simple, but I swear the pair that I got don't match up.
It looks like I'm putting moose antlers on my lashes.
They just look so weird and I really wanted them to work because they're easy to put on.
You just can't adjust them to make them look proper.
No matter what I did, they would still just stick up funny so one would be up this way
and the other one would be this way so they just didn't ever want to look right on my
eyes.
So, I gave up on them.
I'm going to try and return them to see if I can get my money back but I don't know if
I'm within that window to do so.
So, the next product that really sucked for me was from one of the DCM companies called
Niod.
It's their Photography Fluent Primer.
Let me read you what the website says it's going to do.
It says it's a novel approach to creating the foundation for skin that reflects even
radiance and life and very specifically, for the camera lens.
This serum textured product contains a wide array of refracting prisms, toning hue correctors
and topical finishing technologies to offer even radiance within seconds.
So, this thing sounds amazing.
It's in a little dropper.
I tried the Pure Found Photography Filter and actually really like it but the one from
Niod sucked for my skin.
Basically, what it did one me was give me a white gold glow all over, which, okay, that's
really cool, but it basically clung to every single dry patch around my face and if you
don't know, I have dry skin.
So, basically, it emphasized all kinds of dryness and looked terrible.
It looked even worse when I tried to put makeup on top of it.
I wouldn't recommend this product to anyone.
It sucked and I was unfortunately unable to return it.
I have major regrets over wasting my money on this primer.
Next up is the Glossier SPF35.
So, I like most of my Glossier products.
There are a couple misses that I have had but most of them have been hits.
I really loved the Perfecting Skin Tint, I loved the Boy Brow.
Those two products are really great for me.
The Milky Jelly Cleanser, I really like as well.
The SPF product, no good.
For me, if I got the SPF anywhere near my eyes, my eyes would start burning.
My eyes are sensitive.
Okay, I get that but even worse, it caused me to break out.
I really was hoping that this product would be something I could love cause it's one of
those colorless sunscreens so it doesn't leave a white cast, which I personally don't mind
a white cast but I know a lot of you really hate white casts so I wanted to be able to
recommend it but nope, can't.
It sucks.
The next product that was a big fail for me is probably one that's going to cause a fight
because I feel like everybody else says it's a holy grail but it was the Tarte Shape Tape.
Now, the Tarte Shape Tape that I got smelled like bug spray.
I'm telling you, it smelled like Off or citronella candles or something just terrible.
I didn't really like how thick it was and chunky and the color that I got, I think I
got Fair Neutral cause I ordered it from Ulta's website because they had the color but then
when I went in store to see if I could exchange it for another one, they didn't have the shade
in store.
So, the formula didn't work for me, the color didn't really work for me but the smell was
the worst part.
I don't understand how anybody could put that on their face when it smells like bug spray
and be okay with it.
Somebody else said that theirs smells like citrus but mine smelled like straight up bug
spray.
It was disgusting.
My husband smelled it and he was like, "Don't put that on your face."
This is after I dabbed it on, tried to use the beauty blender to blend it out, nope.
That is not for me.
It was terrible.
Give me my Kat Von D Lock-It Concealer Crème because that shit is awesome.
Tarte Shape Tape, nuh-uh.
Throw it in the trash.
The next product that I tried that I thought would be good was the Makeup Revolution Blush
in Nude and it's one of their matte blushes.
It just really wasn't anything that wowed me.
The formula and texture wasn't that great.
Yeah, it's a drugstore blush so it's really cheap but I didn't like how it settled on
my skin and usually I like matte blushes and prefer them because I think that they look
really flattering, especially since I like to wear more blingy highlighters but I just
didn't like how it looked on me at all.
So, the next product that was a total bust for me was the Smashbox Photo Lid Primer in
Smokey this is supposed to make it easier to do really dark, dramatic and smokey looks
and I thought this would be a time saver and really, not for me.
It didn't work very well.
In my crease, it would crease and wear away so that kinda defeats the point of an eye
shadow primer if it's not going to stick around.
I wanted to love it but couldn't.
The next product on my list that I can't stand is the J Cat Beauty Pearl Illuminizer.
Now, this came in a jar and it looked very similar to a lot of the Ben Nye powders.
I have the Ben Nye Cameo Powder somewhere in my makeup stash.
I don't know where it's at this minute but the Pearl Illuminizer, I thought, it was supposed
to give you a nice ethereal glow.
When I put it on, it was like I put on a white frosty eyeshadow all over my face.
It emphasized every single line, every single pore, was not pretty, was not flattering at
all.
It was terrible.
So awful.
Do no recommend.
Okay.
So, the next product is something I really wanted to love and I bought into the hype
so I bought it and that was the Kat Von D Lolita Blush.
I love Kat Von D. I love almost all of my Kat Von D products but not this.
This is supposed to be a Rosy Neutral, Rosewood Brown or something like that, Reddish Chestnut,
anything.
I think Rosy Brown is how she described it.
Well, when I put it on my skin, it goes ... Actually, I can't put it on this hand cause I have a
bunch of weird swatches on here.
When I put it on my skin, which my skin tone is basically like a cool yellow, it pulls
very orangy brown, not rosy brown, orange.
I don't think it looks flattering on me at all so I can't really
wear it as eyeshadow.
I can kind of wear it as a blush if I want to wear an orangy blush, which I don't necessarily
think that looks good on me.
So, I was really just disappointed that this awesome product that's supposed to be a cult
favorite that everybody loves, looks like crap on me.
I guess that's because of my cool yellow skin tone.
Next up, I bought the Smashbox Studio Skin Face Shaping Foundation Stick in the shade
0.5 Porcelain, I had to look it up, and it was like $42.
I thought this would be cool because it's basically a foundation on one side and a contour
on the other.
The contour shade actually worked pretty well for my skin tone so I was really pleased about
that but the foundation was another story.
It was not good.
It basically turned sorta peachy orange on my skin.
It also was one of those foundations that really clung in my dry patches.
So, while it was a Vegan Foundation, it just didn't work for me.
And on the subject of foundations not working for me, next up we have the NYX Total Control
Drops in Pale.
Now the pale yellow color was a really great match for my skin tone.
I give NYX props for making a really inclusive shade range.
They had a ton of shades and I actually had a match.
I was really happy about that.
That's about the extent of all I was happy about because the formula itself looked like
shit on my skin.
It was another one of those things that just clung to all of my dry patches.
I felt like basically, I was dribbling half the bottle on my face to try to get it to
cover all over because if you just put three drops, I couldn't get it to cover anything.
It was ridiculous.
I saw so many people loved this or hated this, it was very polarizing, but I am definitely
in that hate camp because it was terrible on me.
Next up, and I feel bad saying this, but it's the Fenty Pro Filt'r Foundation.
So, the formula, I know it's more geared towards oily skin.
To counter that, what I did was bought some vitamin E oil to put into it, which made it
much more comfortable for me to wear on my dry skin.
The shade that I bought was shade 100.
This shade is supposed to be a perfect match for my skin tone.
When I put it on and it was wet, it matched perfectly.
It looked great.
Once it dried down, it turned this coppery, orangey color.
So, my face would be coppery orange and the rest of me would be this light kind of yellow
toned skin so it looked very weird.
Between the lack of a good shade match and the formula being more geared towards oily
skin, I went ahead and returned it to Sephora.
I felt bad but it just did not work for me at all.
I also tried a couple of the Fenty Match Sticks.
I tried Ivory, which was supposed to be either a foundation or a concealer but either way,
it looks terrible on me.
It basically emphasized all kinds of skin texture and dryness.
It was really dry and cakey.
I don't think it looked good at all and I'm also not a fan of Amber, the contour color,
which I know everybody has been raving about this color but I just didn't feel like it
did a lot for me so I returned both of those because I wanted to love them but didn't like
how they looked on me at all.
Under more foundations I found that I hate this year, the Wet N Wild Photo Focus Foundation
in Porcelain.
I thought this was going to be my perfect drugstore match.
The color's not bad.
I still have to add white to it to make it a perfect match for my skin tone so it's not
just a foundation I can just put on and go or else I have basically a dark head, light
neck, which I don't think is attractive, but the real problem I had with the foundation
was the formula.
It really was cakey and would basically cling to my dry patches and then turn cakey so it
did not work for my dry skin.
Next up, we have another foundation.
It's the Too Faced Peach Perfect Foundation.
I bought the shade Snow.
I thought initially I really liked how it looked on my skin.
I liked the finish.
The color on it's own was too dark.
I needed to add white to it to make a good match.
The fragrance was overpowering, the peachy scent.
Ultimately, that's probably the downfall.
The fragrance that was in that foundation caused me to break out really bad along my
chin and my jaw.
It was very painful.
So, while I wanted to love it because I liked the ingredients aside from the fragrance and
I liked the formula, because it made me break out and the fact that I had to add white to
it to make a better match, I just had to return it.
I don't understand why companies continue to add fragrance to foundation when it causes
a lot of people to break out, not just me.
It's very rare that I can wear any sort of foundation, or even a skincare product, with
fragrance because most of the time, they make me break out.
The rare exception I can think of right now is the Huda Beauty Faux Filter Foundation
in Milkshake.
I'm really shocked that does not cause me to break out because the fragrance.
So, Too Faced, if you're listening, I would love it if you made your Peach Perfect Foundation
without any fragrance in it and in a lighter shade because Snow is not Snow.
Snow is about the color of peachy orange.
I don't know.
It's just not Snow.
Or if your Snow is that color, I don't want to play in it.
Next up is the Wander Beauty Flash Focus Hydrating Foundation Stick in the shade, Fair.
I assumed that because the shade was Fair and it had a very limited shade range, that,
hey, this is going to be a match for my skin tone.
I was wrong.
I really like the formula on this though because it's super hydrating.
It is great for my dry skin but the color's too dark and unfortunately, I realized that
it was too dark and not going to work for me after I was already outside of the Sephora
return window and that kinda sucked because it's expensive.
I think it was like $42 or $45 so I had to basically eat that.
I think that's all the foundations for you.
I tried a ton more foundations this year but these are my big fails.
Next up would be the Anastasia Beverly Hills Subculture Palette.
Now, I bought this palette when I was doing a review for Silk Naturals on the collection
that they made that's basically a vegan in dupe of those colors and I gave it a try.
It's not as bad as everybody says it was but I still don't think it's a great palette and
I'll tell you why it's on this list.
In my opinion, because the formula is so powdery, it's very wasteful.
I'm used to working with pigments like loose pigments and stuff so I know how to carefully
tap in to get product off but even when I would carefully tap in, a ton of excess powder
would kick up so it just felt like very wasteful every time I would touch the palette.
I don't understand what Anastasia was thinking with that formula because their eyeshadow
singles are actually, in my opinion, very good but that palette sucks.
The next product on my list is the Wet n Wild Micellar Water.
Now, this is a makeup remover and initially I thought that it was a great product because
it did a pretty good job at removing my eye makeup, my face makeup, but I don't know what
happened to it when I was about halfway through the bottle, it changed.
It smelled like, I would almost describe it as a burnt rubber type smell, but it smelled
bad and I was like, "Oh, no.
This isn't good."
So, I experimented with trying to take my makeup off with it once the smell changed
and it basically kind of burned so I just tossed it out right away.
Don't know why it changed, don't know what went on with that but I was very disappointed
in that because that's the first time I've ever had any micellar water go bad on me and
I use a lot of them.
I mostly use Pacifica's Coconut Water or Yes To's Coconut Water but I was trying the Wet
n Wild because it's like, "Oh, hey, it's a new product from Wet n Wild.
I should give it a shot."
It sucked.
So, last but not least, is the It Cosmetics Bye Bye Redness Neutralizing Correcting Cream.
This stuff comes in a little pot and in the pot, it looks promising.
When I put it on my skin, it's like a peach color but then it dries down to like an orange.
I'm pretty sure I've shared this on my Instagram stories whenever I first got it and I was
so disappointed because I got my hopes up really high because I thought it was going
to be one of those products that I could just dab on my worst areas of my redness, then
put my foundation on and be done, but no.
When I put it on my face, it's like I put blotches of orange all over my face.
It does not look good.
Then I still have to cake on foundation and cover it up.
So, what's the point?
I really wish that It Cosmetics would fix their shade range that they have, truly fair
shades and truly deep shades as opposed to these shades that claim to be "Fair" like
Transforming Porcelain Beige because to me, that sounds like, hey, that would be a color
that would match me.
But in the cream, it does not.
I did have a friend of mine, my friend Britney, gave me the Transforming Porcelain Beige in
the powder and the powder actually is light enough for my skin.
So, if I was going to use all powder foundation, this would work because I could just put it
on the areas where the redness is worst and then put on a light foundation anywhere else
to even me out and be done.
Here's hoping that someday It Cosmetics fixes their shade range.
So, anyway, I hope you enjoyed hearing me rant about my worst products of 2017.
