I'm Sorry, I've Changed My Mind







Sometimes, you can really like a product, and then for no apparent reason, just change your mind on it. It happens a lot to me, sometimes I'll buy a product and not be that impressed, and then one day I'll suddenly fall for it, but today, I'm talking about the products I used to love, but now I'm not so sure.





First of all, let's talk about the Revlon Nearly Naked Foundation. As a drugstore foundation this is great, good medium but buildable coverage, natural looking on the skin and it's got a good wear time to boot. However, over the last few months I've found that it it's so heavily scented that a) it makes my stomach turn, and b) it breaks me out. It's a shame since as far as drugstore foundations go, this is one of the better ones, but it's just not working for me anymore. 





Benefit Boi-ing Concealer was one of my first high end purchases, it's marketed as an industrial-strength concealer, and I must have liked it to start with since I've hit pan on it! However, I now find that despite the good coverage, this actually slips off quite quickly and leaves that blemish you painstakingly covered in the morning shining in all it's glory after a couple of hours. 





This one will be controversial, but I have completely gone off the Maybelline Colour Tattoo in On and On Bronze. I don't like to wear this on it's own any more since I find it starts to sheer out after a couple of hours, and I don't use it as a base because it's too shimmery to apply shadow over. It's a shame because it's a gorgeous colour, but I'd rather reach for the Rimmel Scandaleyes Shadow Paint in Rich Russet, which wears much better.





And last but not least Batiste Dry Shampoo. I'm pretty sure there was a point in time where if you wanted dry shampoo, Batiste was your only option, and then it was great. However, now there are so many dry shampoos out there that not only make your hair look clean, but they make it feel clean too.





I'm sure some of you probably love these products, but for me they just don't work well anymore. Have you ever changed your mind on a product?
