Disappointing Products: Luxury Edition

16/03/2016

Disappointing Products Luxury Edition

Last week I showed you guys which budget products disappointed me. Since it’s luxury week now I decided to do the same thing, but this time I’m going to show you luxury disappointments instead of budget ones. I do have to say that I don’t have a ton of luxury disappointments, since I don’t just go ahead and buy anything expensive without thinking about it, but I do have a few products that just didn’t live up to my expectations. If you’re interested in finding out which products I’m talking about, keep on reading!

UD Naked On The Run

Let’s start off with the Urban Decay Naked On The Run palette. Don’t get me wrong, I love this palette, I’m obsessed with it and I use it a lot. And most products that come in this palette are absolutely incredible. The Urban Decay 24/6 Glide On Pencil that comes in it actually became an all time favourite of mine, but there are a few things about this palette I don’t like as much.

The reason why I’m showing it today is because of the mascara. At first I loved it. I was completely obsessed with it and even considered buying a full size of it when I’d run out of this mini one. But now that I’ve used it more often, I realised it’s definitely not a mascara for me. I don’t like the wand too much and the mascara itself smudges like crazy. And since I’m not going for the panda look on a daily basis, it’s not a product for me.

Benefit Life Of The Party Eyeshadows

Next up is the Benefit Life’s A Party Gift Set. This set is just like the Naked On The Run palette absolutely incredible, it comes with lots of products and most of those products are incredible. The only thing I don’t like about it too much is the eyeshadow.

The eyeshadows that come in here just don’t have that ‘wow’-factor, which I did expect them to have since this is a Benefit product. They’re definitely okay, but I just expected a little more of them. In my opinion the fact that these eyeshadows are just average doesn’t mean you shouldn’t buy it, the rest of the kit is great and you can definitely work with the shadows, but just don’t expect the shadows to be incredible.

MAC PaintPot Bare Study

The next disappointment is one I really didn’t expect. For years I’ve heard good things about the MAC Paint Pots and the one I tried in the shade Vintage Selection definitely lived up to the hype. So as a cream shadow lover I decided to get another one in one of the most popular shades: Bare Study.

Turns out, this one is not good at all! The texture is really strange and the application is just terrible. It doesn’t distribute evenly over the eyelid which ruins your entire eyeshadow look. Nope. If you’re on the hunt for a MAC Paint Pot, do so, but just don’t get this one. It’s just not good!

MAC Eyeshadows

My last luxury disappointmens are these MAC eyeshadows. Back when I just started off with makeup all I wanted is to have a shit ton of MAC eyeshadows. I didn’t know much about makeup and MAC eyeshadows were very popular back then. I bought 5 of them and loved using them.

But now I know more about makeup and now I’ve tried much more luxury eyeshadows I realised that MAC eyeshadows just aren’t worth the extreme price. Of course, the shadows are pigmented, they have pretty shades and they are very easy to work with. But why pay 17 Euro’s for one single MAC eyeshadow while you can pay 50 Euro’s and have 12 gorgeous Urban Decay eyeshadows which are way better.

And that concludes today’s post. I hope you enjoyed reading it and be sure to let me know which luxury products disappointed you!

XOXO, Nicole.

    Ik hoor wel vaker mindere dingen over MAC oogschaduws, maar de andere producten van MAC zijn wel heel fijn. Ik heb van de paint pot ‘Layin Low’ en die doet het heel goed, Soft Ochre is een lichtere kleur waar ik ook alleen maar goeds over hoor 🙂

      Oeh nu ben ik wel benieuwd naar Layin Low. Ik ga snel eens kijken!

      En inderdaad. Andere producten van MAC zijn wel weer heel fijn. Ik ben dol op hun lipsticks en gezichtsproducten.

    Qua mascara ben ik het met je eens, ik snap de hype niet zo, ik vind ‘m niet fijn. De MAC eyeshadows vind ik opzicht wel prettig maar eigenlijk gebruik ik ze zelden nog, zegt wellicht genoeg 🙂 ik ben tegenwoordig meer dupes gaan gebruiken van bekende merken en gek genoeg zijn die vaak fijner… die paintpots wilde ik nog steeds uittesten maar nu ik jouw review zo lees kan ik ‘m beter voorbij laten gaan 🙂

    Allemaal erg jammer, vooral over de MAC oogschaduw hoor ik vaak dezelfde dingen. Jammer dat je vaak toch geen waar krijgt voor je geld.
