Worst five drug store products



On my looking for a make up cleanser other than makeup wipes, I picked up this cleansing milk. It stated that it Perfectly removes make up. Suitable for even sensitive skin. No perfume, alcohol and colourants. Dermatologically tested. Soothing cleansing lotion. Is Garnier simply essentials soothing cleansing lotion right for me? Yes, if you have sensitive skin or your skin feels fragile when cleansing. Yes, if you are looking for an efficient yet gentle face and eye make up remover. How does it work? Enriched with water lily extract known for its soothing properties, its formula with no perfume, no alcohol and no colourants, perfectly removes make up without leaving your skin feeling dry. Your skin feels clean, soft, soothed and comfortable. No more tight feeling.
I really didn't like the texture of this milk on my skin, it felt as though I was putting more onto it rather than cleansing it! It also didn't seem to really remove a whole lot of my makeup. It says you can use it on your eyes but even with them shut, the residue seemed to get stuck on my eyelashes and make them feel sticky and uncomfortable.

Now, I have already put one of the apocolips as a favourite product but this one just didn't do it for me. It is a beautiful highly pigmented coral colour but it didn't last as long as Big Bang, bled quickly around the lips and left them feeling a little dry too. I think this is in the colour Stella. 

Again another product I'm really hating to hate is a few of the models own new ranges. A while ago when the fruit pastel scented range was released, I was so excited. Now admittedly these are slightly scented even when they are dry but they even when I have applied 3 coats they are still streaky and they chip so easily! Another of the range are the velvet nail varnishes. The colours are really nice but the texture is strange...not like velvet at all and you have to apply a. Top coat to be able to see the glitter. I wouldn't say I hate this, it just didn't live up to what I had hoped. 

Finally is the avon rebalancing  and mattifying day cream. I absolutely LOVE the night gel! It has such a nice texture and it feels and smells really soothing. I was hoping this would be the same but no I was wrong. I feel that it sits on the face, it feels heavy and doesn't soak into the skin very quickly at all. I didn't notice that it made my skin any more balanced and matte looking unlike the night cream and in certain areas it broke me out. Just disappointed that it wasn't as good as the night time version.
