Buying new beauty products for the first time can be exciting. But sometimes I forget that they don't always do what I need and that's where the following comes in: Here are 3 products I tried but decided to pass on.
1- Clinique 7-day scrub cream When an assistant at the beauty counter handed me this facial scrub from Clinique, I expected it would improve my skin if I used it weekly. I used the product during summer and didn't notice any difference so I gave up quickly. With the current cold weather my skin could definitely use a decent scrub from time to time, so I tried again. Still didn't do anything for my skin. The only change I noticed are tiny bumps on my chin that weren't there before, while the 7-day scrub cream is supposed to take away roughness.
2- Avène TriAcneal Once bitten, twice shy they say. Apparently that doesn't apply to me. When I had a huge breakout mid October after using TriAcneal, I told myself I'd get rid of this acne-fighting product. I recently decided to give it another try but the same thing happened... I applied TriAcneal on the areas that I thought needed it, but the product is just too aggressive for my skin. I am pretty disappointed, because the product is praised by so many other bloggers so I had high hopes that it would work for me, too.
3- Rimmel 9-in-1 BB Cream This product isn't exactly one I wasn't pleased with, I just didn't know where else to discuss it. I bought the Rimmel BB cream thinking it'd be useful for summer but ended up skipping it because I felt like my skin didn't need it, especially when it was over 30°C outside. The lightest colour is also still a tiny bit too dark for me. Now that I'm definitely back to my pale self, I don't use the product at all and it's a pity really. I'm willing to try again, though, because the product did feel nice on the skin and I was surprised by its coverage.
Have you tried any of these products? Do you have beauty products you wouldn't repurchase - could be anything, from makeup to bath products etc.?
