Hello, everyone. Welcome back.
Thank you so, so much for joining me.
So today we are looking at some
regrets, some products I regret buying.
I do have like, a series of these
videos, which I'll leave a link to
down below.
But let me just update you even more.
Now, these are things I have purchased, that I'm like, I
wish I didn't buy that because I haven't used them.
But I keep hold of them.
You know, you're like, one day I'm going to use it.
One day I'm going to wear that.
One day it's going to happen.
One day never came. And it won't come.
And I'm just going to be honest with myself.
So let's get into that.
Do consider subscribing.
Give this video a thumbs up... what else happens?
Yeah, follow me on TikTok right here. Okay.
Product number one is this blush from Hermes.
This is their blush, Rose Abricot.
Okay, first of all, it's tiny.
But second of all, the lack of color.
I'm going to show you. The lack of pigment in these,
what is it with these
expensive brands and their blushers,
and they're like, oh, you know what?
Let's actually just do no pigment at all.
Where the f... where the f*ck...
Where's the color?
Where is the color? Nothing. There's nothing.
I do have like, a deeper powder here.
But I had that on already. Where's the color?
Do you know how much this is?
This is insanely expensive for a blush.
And it gives nothing.
Just like those Dior blushers
that everyone went crazy about.
And it's like a tint of color.
Absolutely not worth it.
Not only have I not used it ever for a
really long time and was like, you know what?
I'm just going to save it.
When I did use it, the disappointment
from the lack of pigmentation, crazy, insane.
And you know what, it smells... I guess it is trying to smell a little bit peachy,
but in my mind it smells more like men's locker room.
Not like cheesy feet or anything like that.
Like, not all men smell,
smell bad, but like men's fragrance.
So like deodorants,
and aftershaves all mixed up and creating this
smell, it's like, oh, that's quite nice,
but isn't, isn't... you know...
It's not... I don't want it on my face.
You know what I mean?
Hermes, their lipsticks are nice, though.
So this isn't 100%, like, against this
brand because their lipsticks are really beautiful.
Yeah, no, that's not it.
Let's stick with blush.
This is Trixie Cosmetics.
And this is the blush.
In general, I don't enjoy the powder products
from Trixie Cosmetics at all, I just, I feel like
they're really hardly pressed into the pan.
Especially like, the eyeshadows.
I actually have some eyeshadow palettes from
Trixie Cosmetics that I don't use because
of just my experience with them.
Really hard pressed, which means when it comes
to getting the pigmentation out, you really have
to go in and kind of struggle.
And I don't know.
I just never get on with a powder product.
Even the lip products, I didn't get on with either.
I do want those new setting sprays.
So I am confused.
I think I've used this once or twice, and
I think I've used this more when me and
my brother, our joint channel together.
If we're like, oh, we need a blush to
play around with, I'm like, oh, just get one
of the Trixie ones, because I don't use it.
You know what I mean?
If a product can be potentially ruined, sounds terrible.
Then I'll be like, grab one of these.
Yeah, it's, it's...
Yeah, the powder is just, like,
quite, I don't know, dusty.
It's not even dusty.
Like, it's like, you see that pink? I guess
I wish they were smoother and
perhaps a bit more pigmented.
With the eyeshadows, it feels like you really have
to work at it to kind of blend them out.
I just, I've never got on with the brand in general.
Not got on with the brand,
but with the products in general.
I'll be interested to know if you use anything
from Trixie Cosmetics, because a lot of people have
said they like them, and I just can't.
Okay, next up is kind of a whole brand, Flower Knows.
I'm such a fool for packaging.
You give me good packaging, and I'm buying it.
Even food. Does that yogurt come
in, like, a crazy packaging?
I'm buying it.
So I'm just kind of like, I need to calm down
and think about, maybe watch some reviews of some actual products.
I don't think I've even used this, but I have
used another one of their eyeshadow palettes and their blushers.
Again, I guess this is all
just like sh*tty powders.
Dusty
It's like, imagine chalk, but you're
giving it, like, different colors.
The shimmers are really nice, actually.
They have quite a nice shine to them.
But, like, see this red, for example?
When you blend it out, it's just kind
of wishwashy, it doesn't really keep the color.
I used one of their blushers, their ombre blush,
and it just didn't show up on my skin.
Wanted to take a look at this blush.
This is from a bland... bland? Brand, Flower Knows, and
it has this really cute blue into this,
I mean, it looks quite dark on camera,
but it's actually quite a light pink here.
What I find really fascinating about this bluey, kind of
like verging on a light lilac as it goes in,
is how brightening this will be in terms of color
theory, how it's going to brighten up this area.
So let's try it. I want to try kind of sweeping
it this way and trying to keep that blue tone
up here with the blush underneath just to see if
it will brighten my under eyes a little bit.
So I'm literally going to take it like this.
I don't know if you can see the
blue on the top there and the pink.
I just want to apply it right here.
I'm going to keep my cheekbones nice and high, I guess.
I mean, to be honest, even
the color itself isn't that obvious.
Let's just do a whole mix and
swivel up the whole thing.
There's nothing there.
Okay, perhaps not the best blush, to be honest with you.
It's very natural, and I think maybe if you have
fairer skin than me, it would look quite nice.
But it didn't do what I thought.
I thought that blue will be quite brightening.
Let's, you know what? F*ck it.
Let's just try the blue under the eyes by itself.
Just going to go into the blue.
Just up here.
There you go. There it is.
That's what I was thinking was going to happen.
Okay, so that's the blue.
Just the blue by itself.
So I was thinking we're going to get this
half and half, but I guess you can just
be really specific with what you apply.
Okay. It's cute
if you have time to be using
the two shades separately.
This is it on both eyes, it is quite brightening,
but be warned, it can look, it looks quite blue in real life.
So, yeah, I don't know what I think
I'm going to use it because it's cute,
but I'll probably just mix it together.
And to be fair, their main
market is lighter skin tones. Let's be real.
It just didn't show up on me, but I
feel like I'm pale a lot of the time.
It was like, it literally felt like putting my makeup brush on
a bit of chalk and then doing it on the skin.
Tudor.
It was Tudor-esque.
Let's talk about this foundation.
This is the By Terry Eclat Opulent. Light Opulence,
I think it is, in French.
And yes, I have, like, three other shades.
This foundation is expensive.
I Love By Terry, the brand By Terry,
one of my absolute favorites.
I enjoy it very, very much.
However, this foundation that comes in,
literally, there's, like, four shades.
When I got one, I was like,
oh, this looks nice on the skin. Then I looked in the mirror,
I was like, okay, I'm pale.
Let me go and explore their shade range.
It's heavy, it's creamy, but it's
nice when it's on the skin.
It has that By Terry rose smell,
which I don't mind at all.
But I now have three of these or four
of these that just sit around doing nothing.
All full.
Completely full. Going to waste
because none of the shades suit me.
And it's like, yeah no, it... it, you know, what's it called?
No, what's it called?
Suits your skin. Like, you know, it starts to suit...
What... oh, my God.
What is the word I'm looking for?
It, like, matches your skin tone. Oh, my God.
What is wrong with me?
It suits your skin tone.
It magically turns into your skin tone.
It doesn't. Not good.
It's not a nice one.
And especially when you spend a
lot of money on foundation.
And yes, I tried it in store as well.
I just want to say that.
And it looked fine, and I left, and I was like.
But when you spend a lot of money on foundation, you
kind of want it to work, especially if it's, like, expensive.
Anyway, next up is these.
These are from, it's like, Make Up A Murder Cosmetics.
And this is nothing against them
because their products are really nice.
I have two of their palettes, and I love their
style and everything like that, but it's the tape.
I don't know why I bought these.
I don't know why I bought tape.
I haven't used tape to do my eye makeup in a
really, really long time, and I just keep holding onto them.
I even have more here.
I don't even know where this is from.
This isn't from the same brand.
But remember when you would use, like,
medical tape to create that harsh line?
I just use concealer now and whack it off.
I don't know why I got it.
There's something about me that needs a
whole collection, and I think I bought
the whole collection to have it complete.
And it's just, I don't use it at all. I never use them.
They're just hanging around doing nothing, and there
isn't another thing I can use them for.
You know what I mean? Maybe there is.
Let me know, what else can I use this tape for?
It's one of those products that I look at,
where I was like, oh, I can do that.
That will come in really handy.
And then actually, it turns out I
would never, ever, ever need it. Ever.
Okay, last but not least, this is from Nivea.
This is the Double Effect Eye Makeup Remover.
I have had this sitting in my beauty room for years.
I have three of them left, and
I'm trying to get through them.
I prefer using my Bioderma one, but I hate
wasting things, so I am trying to use them.
This is in no way gentle around the eyes.
It really hurts.
It feels gritty.
It feels not as soft.
It doesn't feel like it strips away my makeup.
It feels like you really have to rub.
It is not good, I would... if you have sensitive eyes,
I wouldn't get this at all.
Like, I wouldn't even look at it.
It's number one, where?
Number one eye makeup remover.
That needs to change.
I wonder if people realize how painful it is.
But I buy makeup removers in bulk because I
use them, like, every single day when I'm filming.
I use them more than once.
So I bought these thinking, you know what, Nivea,
how bad can it be? Lesson learned.
I don't like Nivea anyway, as a brand.
But here we are, stuck with these now.
However long it takes to remove... actually, you
know what, I'll probably donate the unused ones if they're
still in date, but it's just awful.
It feels grainy, and it feels gritty for some reason.
I just really don't like it.
Okay, that was short and sweet.
Let me know if there's any products you regret buying
down below in the description box, and I will be
sure not to buy them and avoid them.
Thank you so much for joining me.
