Have you ever read posts and thought *ooo they look nice, but no* well these are the things I look at - but couldn't actually bring myself to spend my cash on. Either due to price, shipping, or quality.
1. Colour Pop
Now I am not disputing the incredibleness of Colour Pop Cosmetics, I just don't have the time or the energy to be ordering from America, risking them being smashed to smithereens and then having to pay a customs charge for the privilege of it all, I just cannot be bothered, no matter how pretty the swatches are *sobs*
2. Tarte Shape Tape £28.00
In the UK I have not found anywhere that you can buy the concealer without having to buy the sponge too (I'm looking at you QVC) I don't want the sponge, I want the concealer. Plus its always out of stock in my shade!
3. Jeffree Star Cosmetics £14.00
Now I have bought from him before, but since the whole drama I just cannot find it in myself to give him any of my money - I just cannot back someone who I dislike as a person, no matter how good his liquid lipsticks are!
4. Kylie Cosmetics
*Gasp* I know, I know. But her things are SO expensive, by the time you have added up the product, the shopping and the custom charge you be as well buying a Tom Ford, and at least then I won't be disappointed by cheap ass packaging.
5. Urban Decay Liquid Lipsticks £15.50
(Please don't hate my Urban Decay) I love UD typically, I love their palettes their lippies... but the liquids have just been a fail.. I went to see them this week in hope that the reviews would be wrong.... and they just look bad... I'm sorry UD.
6. Tanya Burr Cosmetics & Zoella Beauty/Lifestyle
I just cannot handle either of them anymore, and will refuse to purchase anything they come out with now. I feel like the minute they launched their brands their YouTube suffered hugely, and the only time they made videos was when they were sponsored or they had brought something new out. I did a whole rant post about it here. If you want to hear my moan some more lol
7. The Beauty Blender £16.00
That's one expensive sponge. I know when I finally get round to buying it - it will be a life changer, but I know right now I really like my dupes (£3-£6 ones from RT, the Superdrug one, and TK Maxx ones) So I am scared that if I buy the real deal my cheap alternatives wont compare.
8. Anastasia Beverley Hills Cream Contour Kit (Light) (£39.00)
now this is an odd one, I really want to buy this, but I HATE the fact that you cannot buy the refills for the cream ones, even though they come out - and you can buy the refills for the powder. I want the refills. Just because I know I will use the darkest shade way more than the others, and I wouldn't want to pay £39.00 everytime I finish one shade. *cries*
If you liked this post check out this one (It's what I am picky about when it comes to makeup)
I made a Colourpop order recently and as much as I loved the products, I don't think I'll be making another order any tiny soon! The customs are just too much! X

good to know lovely thank you! Away to read your post now! :)
DeleteThis is such a good idea for a post! I wouldn't purchase anything from Kylie Jenner again either. Also, what did Jeffree do?! I feel clueless haha.
