Never Can Say Goodbye

Do you have those few products that manage to cling to your makeup collection despite you never using them? They sit comfortably in your draws or pots with the hope that you will learn to love them, I've now made this into a Toy Story scenario that will make it harder for you to chuck them, sorry. But the harsh truth is that they have to go, they can't stay in there forever. This week I had to go in and extract some products from their place of rest and throw them into the ever-waiting rubbish bin.

The first thing that has to meet its doom is one of my many mascaras, the Rimmel Scandaleyes Flex mascara. I bought this mascara as soon as it came out so I could review it; let's just say I wasn't bowled over. Despite the fact that it didn't really do much for my lashes, I kept it hidden away in my draw. I don't know what it is about mascaras that means I just can't throw them away, I think I was hoping that if I kept it for long enough I would learn to love it, however I did not and now it is time to say farewell.

Next up we have two Maybelline products, I usually love Maybelline but these two just didn't give me the wow factor I expected from them. First off there is the Fit Me! Powder, I bought this after all the hype around the Fit Me! Foundation (which I have yet to try). This powder basically disappeared after about 1 hour, it didn't set my makeup and I may as well have not even bothered putting it on! Then we have a Eye Studio white eye shadow that I bought to use as a highlight. I know that white eyeshadow can be a difficult thing to get right pigmentation wise, but this was pretty disappointing. I ended up throwing it to the back of my collection and I actually forgot I had it, sorry little eyeshadow but you must go. 

Finally we have the Maxfactor Facefinity All Day Flawless Foundation. This foundation wasn't cheap so I was pretty gutted when it just didn't work for me. This was supposed to be a 3 in 1 foundation that provided a built in primer and concealer, however I found it to be very drying and it stuck to any tiny dry patch on my face. 

And so the these little guys have to wave goodbye, take a bow and make their way to the land of trash. It makes me sad to throw away any products, I like to get my moneys worth out of everything I buy but if it doesn't work, it doesn't work.
