What beauty brands rarely live up to your expectations?

What beauty brands rarely live up to your expectations?

Bobbi Brown eyeshadows (I think the brand is reliable on lip/cheek products, though), Too Faced (generally, so hit or miss!), Stila (some good, core products but new formulas are a rollercoaster ride).

Spring Makeup Launches (2019)

I wouldn’t say it’s been particularly remarkable this season in terms of things that I’ve found and loved (overall), BUT there has been a slow down in releases–at least that’s how it feels to me, with respect to eye products–so that’s been nice (sort of).

What was the last brand you fell out of love with?

What was the last brand you fell out of love with?

Guerlain! They were always a favorite but for the last few years, I’ve been less and less interested in their offerings (which have felt erratic in timing and often feel like a rehash of past offerings). They’ve discontinued a lot of products without replacing with new formulas, too.

What was the last brand you fell in love with?

Sydney Grace! First, I’m a fiend for eyeshadow, so their massive range was beyond tempting. Have you seen the number of GREENS in their range? All over it. I was so pleased that so much of what I’ve tried to date has been quite lovely!

It's also supposed to be long-wearing and is buildable from "blotted-down" in one layer to "intense color payoff" in...
