Hey, everyone, this is Rosie from RPS makeup.
So this week's video is going to be a "Products I Regret Buying" video.
Now, I do want to say before I get into it that these things just do not work for me.
It doesn't mean they won't work for you, and it doesn't mean that if you've got them that
you shouldn't use them because they're just things that personally didn't work on me,
but I really enjoy these kinds of videos because I'm always interested to see how things work
for other people - or don't work for other people, as the case may be.
So, I'll just get straight into it.
The first thing I have is a foundation.
And this I actually bought online because they don't sell it in the UK.
Um, it's the Revlon Colorstay Whipped Foundation because when this first came out, people were
going cray over this.
I have tried the original color stay, and it just doesn't look good on my skin.
Everyone was raving about it so I wanted to see what all the hype was about.
It just looks exactly the same as the normal color stay on me.
It just, I can't describe what it is but it just makes my skin look horrible and cakey
and it doesn't matter how much I apply or how I apply it, my skin just doesn't like
it.
It just does not look good.
So, that is definitely the first thing I regret.
And it was quite expensive as well and I was really excited about it because it was so
hyped up.
But actually, I don't really see anybody use it anymore.
Next I have a couple mascaras.
Unfortunately, they are both Maybelline.
I am not Maybelline's biggest fan when it comes to their mascaras.
I love loads of their stuff, but I am Loreal when it comes to mascaras.
People seem to be one or the other.
I know people love Maybelline mascaras.
I love Loreal ones.
So the first one I'm going to talk about is the Rocket Volume Express.
Again, this was really hyped up.
I am not that key into plastic ones.
I find when I that put it on my lashes it makes my eye twitch.
I don't know what that's about, but.
So, I was a bit skeptical but I heard really good stuff about it.
So, I tried it and I really did like the way it applied.
It made my lashes look volumized and lengthened and separated, which is what you want from
a mascara.
But it transferred onto my brow bone really badly.
And I've never had an issue before with mascaras like smudging up my brow bone or leaving on
my eyes, but it just smudged up really bad.
And I know that they do do a waterproof formula, but I hate waterproof mascara.
I just refuse to use it because it's such a pain to get off.
I hate having to scrub up my eyes to get it off.
It's just not worth it to me.
So, yes, it does amazing things for my lashes, but it just smudges everywhere and looks a
mess so I just can't wear it, which is a shame because I do really like it.
The next one is the Mega Plus Volume Express mascara.
This has got a normal kinda one, which I like.
But I just find it doesn't do anything to my lashes.
It doesn't separate them well, it doesn't give them lots of length it doesn't give them
lots of volume.
Because sometimes you buy mascara and you get the lengthening and sometimes the other
way around, it's really volumizing but not particularly lengthening.
This, honestly I probably get more volume if just I coated my eyelashes in water.
It just does not work for me.
It does not do anything.
Yeah, I really really didn't like this.
This is the sleek concealer and correct palette.
So, this is a little palette and it comes with a salmon toned concealer for correcting
your dry circles, a skin tone concealer for obviously, blemishes, and it also comes with
a powder to set it with.
This is in 0 2.
They probably didn't have many shades because they usually don't normally.
Um, I just find the concealer is really greasy, but it doesn't cover much.
So, it feels like it's creamy when you put your finger in, but then you realize it's
really greasy and it blends out completely and it doesn't cover up anything.
Um, I was just disappointed because I really love Sleek products normally, but it just
didn't work for me.
It creased, it was greasy, it didn't cover anything up, so, not good for me.
Then I have a pair of eyelashes.
Now, I have never heard of these eyelashes before until I saw them at a test go express,
it was, or a test go extra.
I've never seen it since at any other test go extras.
These are the Active Cosmetics Glamour Lash Extensions.
So, these are eyelashes.
Now, they have some false grip ones which are whispy, which I adored.
These are style number 6, and they are half lashes.
Now, the problem with these is they're too long and whispy for half lashes.
It's a half lash.
It's got to blend in with your natural lash or else it's going to look like you just stuck
eyelashes on the sides of your eyes.
It's just not a good look.
I'm actually not sure where to get these.
That's the only place I've seen them and I've not seen them since.
The next thing I have is a hairspray.
Now, I don't use hairspray very often.
This is a Tresemme Salon Finish Extra Hold hairspray.
Fast drying long lasting hold.
It makes my hair feel crisp and crunchy and it makes it knotty and not easy to brush out.
Because if I'm wearing hairspray I like it to hold but I also want to be able to brush
my hair out.
I don't want to have to wash my hair out every time I've used hairspray.
So, unfortunately.
I mean, it was a good deal.
I got it at B and M and I paid about 4 pounds for it and it's huge.
It's 500 mills.
But, yeah, I just did not like it.
It holds your hair well, I'll give you that, but don't let anyone touch it because it feels
wicked and you will have to wash it out instead of brush it out.
That is all of the products I regret buying.
