The Golden Kela awards are awarded to those Bollywood celebrities who deliver the worst performances in Hindi Cinema each year. So, I thought why leave the makeup products behind here! The only difference being that is not exactly a celebration!
These don’t include my precious collectible products which I buy with the sole intention of staring at their beauty *_*
Moving on, most of the times I buy products after going through their reviews online and researching on them a bit more. But even then there are chances that a beauty product which a blogger likes isn’t up to my liking and vice-versa. Then there are those times when the newly launched or “over-hyped” bug bites me. And not to forget mentioning those times when the packaging of products hypnotise me and lure me into taking them home. Sigh!
Anyhow, these are the 12 products I really wish I never bought because they perform totally different from what the company claims:
1) Avon Simple Pretty Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner: It comes packed in a transparent glass bottle with a long handle. The bristles are packed tightly but they are quite less in number. This makes the application a task in itself. Also, see the picture wherein one bristle is longer than all. I had to cut it. The shade is definitely jet black. Ensure to shake it well before use. Regarding staying power, it stays only for around 4 hours after which it starts to fade and smudge from the outer corners. Eeks! I can’t even imagine going out with it on my super oily eyelids in these scorching summers! Not even winters!
2) Tangle Teezer: Yes! It works for many but for me, not at all! Had it not been for the adorable design, I would have straight away dumped it in the bin. And I bought a hair brush which is just like my regular hair paddle brush for a whopping Rs.1100!
3) John Frieda Liquid Shine Illuminating Shampoo and Conditioner: There’s only conditioner in this picture and not shampoo. That’s because only when I threw the shampoo in the bin, did this post idea strike in my head. So I kept the conditioner until the photo session. I mentioned about them HERE too. They make my dry hair drier and like Jharhoo. The cost of both is Rs.470 each!!!
4) Fair and Lovely BB Cream: I’m sure they meant “Bewkoof-Banao” cream” (as their ads are when a father loves his daughter more when she gets fair or when a girl secures a job owing to her light skin tone. Wow!). I mentioned about it HERE. It’s not for oily, dry, combination or normal skin type. It’s not even for skin type that is dry and oily at the same time. I hope I haven’t left any skin type. Let me know if I have.
5) Lakmè 9 to5 Instant Glow Creme: The only instant effect it provides is a whitening cast on my face! Read more about it HERE.
6) Lakme Absolute Plump and Shine Lipglosses: These are some rarely found breeds in lipglosses. They emphasize lip lines! Read my review on them HERE. It’s a pity because the shades are stunning!
7) Maybelline The Colossal Liner: I never thought this day would come but sadly it has! Maybelline introduced a liner which doesn’t dries and smudges easily. Read my review on it HERE. The irony is I can’t live without their hyperglossy liquid eyeliners!
8) Oriflame Very Me Lip Crayon: Because it’s too sticky!
9) L’oreal Paris Super Liner Gelmatic Pen “Blue Force’: The pigmentation has worn down and its application was a tough task from the very beginning. Goodbye! Review HERE. I have to update its rating now.
10) NYX Slim Eye Pencils: They just don’t dry!
Don’t forget to mention your list of products in the comments below which deserve a kela award! Even if they have got a nice rating on my blog!
And, I missed my space! Feels so good being back! 😀
