Recent Beauty Products I Won’t Be Repurchasing

Testing out new beauty products is one of my favourite hobbies (obviously) and its never fun for anyone when you get a new product you’re excited about and end up not falling in love with it. Below are a few products I purchased recently that I didn’t end up loving and will unfortunately not be repurchasing again 😦

Product: Origins High-Potency Night-A-Mins Skin Refining Oil

Product Details: This potent skin-resurfacing formula is enriched with salicylic acid and vitamins C and E cushioned in eight silky plant oils—including cranberry seed, sage, and pomegranate —to release dull, dead surface cells. While the relaxing aromas of neroli, valerian, and vanilla to help lull you to sleep, radiance is restored and skin awakens smoother, rehydrated, and vibrant.

Thoughts: I mean the above product outline sounds amazing doesn’t it? I really, really wanted to love this after reading what this product was formulated to do but unfortunately I just didn’t feel like it did anything to my skin. It smells really good and the applicator is really easy to use but that’s about it for me on this one. My skin didn’t look any different then it normally did after consistently using this oil until the bottle was finished.

Product: Pixi Skintreats Hydrating Milky Mist with Hyaluronic Acid and Black Oat

Product Details: Featherlight mist-on moisturizer that provides a surge of hydration with hyaluronic acid to plump skin by trapping moisture. Added black oat with provitamin A, linoleic acid, and vitamins B1, B2 & B6 make it the ultimate remedy for thirsty skin.

Thoughts: I was super pumped (…perhaps a mist joke? Ha ha?) when I saw this little guy peaking out at me on the shelf because who doesn’t want to hydrate their skin with a MILKY MIST?! It sounded too good to be true and it was. It feels amazing to spritz on because it goes on super lightly and it is crazy refreshing but it didn’t really make a difference for how moisturized my skin looked or felt. I came to realize that I was just continuing to use this product because it was fun to apply and it smells really good but that for me isn’t enough reason to repurchase this mist.

 

Product: Batiste Dry Shampoo Plus Show Stopping Heavenly Volume

Product Details: This multi-tasking product refreshes your locks and gives hair that gorgeous, touchable bounce you love. The perfect product for anyone who loves a boost of volume that smells divine. And like all things heavenly it won’t leave your hair sticky or stiff.

 Thoughts: Ok, I just don’t get the big deal with Batiste. I know everyone seems to swear by their dry shampoos but literally every time I buy one I end up not liking them. This one in particular made my hair super sticky, hard and stiff. I thought I would give Batiste another try because this product was on sale and the description sounded like everything I could ever want for my hair. But alas, no dice my friends.

Product: Fresh Soy Face Cleanser

Product Details: Fresh Soy Face Cleanser for all skin types is an extra-gentle gel cleanser that instantly whisks away everyday impurities and makeup – even mascara – without stripping the skin of essential moisture.

Thoughts: So this is one I went back and forth with a lot about adding to this list because I don’t dislike it … But I also know I won’t repurchase it because I don’t really like it either. I almost feel like because it is so gentle that I feel like it’s not giving me the satisfaction I want from knowing my cleanser is working hard to clean my skin if that makes sense? My skin just felt super average after I used it and looked just okay but not great enough where I wanted to keep using this cleanser. I certainly am happy that I purchased this because I had heard many wonderful things about this little cutie. But in the end I can’t say the connection was there for us and I can’t see myself repurchasing it in the near future.

Have you guys bought any beauty products recently that you just know you won’t be repurchasing again?
