Disappointing Products

Instead of giving each product that I don't like its own review, I'll just do a combined post and skim briefly over my approaches with each product. Once again, everything I buy is usually based on reviews or recommendations so its hard to really judge the product until after I've bought it.

1) Dolly Wink Liquid Eyeliner
  Ok, I'm not going to say that it's a BAD eyeliner, but it wasn't as good as I hoped it would be. The initial uses weren't that bad (just a typical felt liner) and it doesn't really smudge. However, after a few uses, I noticed that the lines I drew were getting lighter and lighter (like it's already running out of ink) To be honest, it's not that big of a deal since all I have to do is go over the line again but.... yeah.

2) Pore Putty BB Cream
  For a BB Cream that is supposedly a number one bestseller in Japan, this product was quite disappointing for me. Maybe I'm putting on the cream wrong or something (LOL i have no idea what i'm saying...) but in reality, it just made my skin look kind of flaky and it didn't spread all that well. I have to admit, I've only tried it out once so I guess I'll give it a few more tries but I am definitely not going to be expecting much the next few times. Plus, was this product supposed to hide my pores? Definitely not.
3) Johnson's Body Care- Naturally White
  Haha I know this is a completely random product but I had to mention it. If anyone plans on lightening a tan with this ... don't. That's all I have to say. It has a weird smell and the product just sits on your skin (eventually rubbing off). I also have the body soap which I haven't used but I'm hoping it'll be a bit better.
4) Nexcare Acne Dressing
  Damn. I had such hopes for this product! Heard/read so many great reviews on this product. Didn't work at all for me. Let me just give you the gist of this product. You open it and you see these clear-yellowish stickers in all sorts of sizes on a plastic sheet. Apparently, you're supposed to put one of these stickers on a pimple and it "sucks out" the pimple. I've used this twice and zero results have shown -sadface- I bought 2 boxes too (no worries though. It was only about $5CAD)

To be honest, there are plenty more of disappointing products that I would put up but for one, I'm super lazy AND I have a bit of home reading to be doing for school (whoo... first day of school T_T)
Why couldn't summer come around more often?
