DIOR!!!! Their reformulated blushes and eyeshadow 5 pans are heart-breakingly BAD. AND they’ve discontinued one of my favourite foundations – that Air Flash spray one – I’m so sorry I didn’t get the chance for a “back up” several years ago when, more fool me, I thought maybe they were just redesigning the packaging….
For me it was the Moira cream shadow pots, they were patchy and dry on me and didn’t give me the look I was after when I tried to blend them. And weirdly by the end of the day I had glitter fallout which I don’t get with the CT eyes to mesmerize pots.
Too Faced Italian Spritz palette. — and I should have know after swearing off TF. I got suckered it by the pretty colors and glowing reviews. Then I decluttered it after having an adverse reaction.
All of them, lol. I haven’t found one Fall or Holiday collection that I’m interested in so far. Way too much fluff. I just want a new berry or plum blush and lipstick to match. I don’t need anymore eyeshadows!! All of the collections are mostly highlighters or bronzers, eyeshadow palettes or useless glittery products. I just want a deeper shade of blush and lipstick for the season. Collections used to feature such things…..I haven’t seen anything so far that has interested me.
1. Kosas Concealer and that is the only product I have purchased from them so not likely to purchase anything else.
2. Too Faced, bad products in too cutesy packaging. I would buy it for a teenager and that is about it.
3. Dior and that breaks my heart. I have picked up a few of the pre-reformulation products from secondary sources but won’t be purchasing much from the brand in the future. I do like their base products.
The Pat McGrath Holiday release showed up on her website last night. You cannot purchase them yet but the photos are there. They sort of look like the same old thing although I am a little intrigued by the smaller palettes. She also has two cheek/eye palettes. The colored mascara’s look fun. I do like the look of the palette with the couple of green shades, if indeed they are green. It is hard to tell on her website. I was hoping for some new lip shades as that is about all I have purchased from her in awhile.
Oh I forgot, I did buy the two Bridgerton eye shadow palettes and one of the blush palettes. I have used all of them and quite like them but then I am a sucker for Bridgerton and hope they plan on releasing the third season over the holidays, or shortly thereafter, this year. Not a series to watch if you are squeamish about a lot of graphic sex but the colors are gorgeous, on the show. The women’s dresses are like a beautiful bouquet swirling across the screen. I have to admit, I love Rege Jean Page and my daughter teases me all the time that I have a crush on him. Well, maybe….
Any and all food-themed Too Faced releases! For so many reasons, including a known serious allergan that my eyes DO react to, and badly (Sodium saccharine=SULFA). But that Maple Syrup Pancakes palette is REALLY poor quality from the swatches of it that Amanda at makeup.just.for.fun did alongside their very similar color story palette from either last year or the one before.
And don’t even get me started when it comes to the reformation of almost the entire Dior line! Oof! Abysmal doesn’t even begin to cover how awful they now are.
There’s been quite a few to choose from lately hasn’t there? From Dior’s blushes and eyeshadow quints, to Tom Ford’s epic misses on his quads to Merit’s solo eyeshadows. Plus all the terrible lip glosses with their flat matte finishes…..
The awful Dior blushes.
