Here are some that just didn't do it for me. One common theme for all the three is most definitely the price I paid for them! Considering how much they cost, I have to admit, I expected small miracles and instead I felt like they were duds!
The first one is the YSL mascara volume effet faux cil. It holds all the promises of a fantastic mascara. It smells fantastic, it has a great formula and it has the best brush. But all this doesn't matter one bit because it is too expensive, the formula dries out, sticks to the brush too much and because of this, gives you lumpy lashes... And did I mention, it is expensive! A dud in my books!

The second item is the Clarins Natural Instant Lip Perfector. These came highly recommended so of course, I had to try them. Of the three items I am reviewing today, these were the cheapest but no less more expensive than other gloss like products, I have purchased earlier.
Again, this product comes with all the promise of a great new thing. It smells fantastic!! It applies great, thanks to the applicator that distributes the gloss in a great manner. And the end result is good too. Your lips will feel softer and give a healthy, natural look. But it is simply too sticky!! Maybe that's a preference thing but I just found that I was spending too much time trying to avoid getting any hair near my lips.

The third and final thing on my list, are the L'Occitane hand creams. I have to admit that I am complete sucker for a good, greasy hand lotion. I also hold high criteria to said lotion. I need it to last, I need it to be greasy but not slippery and finally I need it to smell good!
So the only thing that the L'Occitane lotions did for me, was that they smelled great! They were too slippery and didn't last. It was like they just didn't absorbed into my hands. Too bad really!! I love some of their other body products. I bought these on the plane to my final destination so I technically got a good deal. But considering they didn't last long and were so expensive, maybe the joke was more on me.

I should mention the only reason I have added the links to the products, is because these are just my completely biased opinions and some of you may really like them. If so, I would love to hear you convince me otherwise. Except for the mascara! I am trying to use it up before it completely dries up!
Like always would love to hear your opinions and comments.
