TAG! Products I Regret Buying

[@greendayownsyou08]

the clean and clear system dries my skin so much - but the individual products from clean and clear are so good! my absolute FAVORITE moisturizer is Clean & Clear Oil Free Dual Action Moisturizer - it isn't too heavy and it leaves my skin so soft after just a few minutes! i put it on before my foundation and it works great :)

[@cowboymommy1]

The clean and clear stuff makes my face red too! And it leaves my skin feeling really dry. I love you Blair!

[@justicegirl1028]

I have the Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse foundation. It has broken me out in the past, but I've learned when to use it so that it doesn't. I only use it when my skin is feeling really dry and with a good coat of moisturizer underneath. That way, my skin doesn't try to drink in the foundation for moisture. If my skin's feeling the slightest bit oily, I steer clear. I like that it doesn't have SPF which shows up in pictures. It's definitely not an everyday foundation--I mostly wear it out.

[@MMHazelnutLatte]

the clean and clear spot treatment (just the small tube) works really well alone. you should try it when you have like 1 zit that you want to get rid of. it works really well!

[@katiegreim12]

I like how you are true. A lot of beauty gurus never turn down MAC products because everyone loves it! But i am glad that you are actually voicing your own opinion and not what others think of the products Love the video xxx

[@sarah3848]

I'm not a fan of the dream matte mouse. It didn't make me break out, but it made my skin intensely dry. I now mix it with moisturizer to make a tinted moisturizer, which seems to work nicely.

[@MarcieUrie]

The clean and clear thing, one of their products that you put on blemishes and it works fantastic for me. I guess in the end, every skin will react different to certain things.

[@kiwilover01]

Can you do an updated everyday hair routine? Your hair looks so voluminous! what volumizer do you use?

[@Anderson0131]

i only have the on the spot acne treatment from clean and clear and it works so well for me, within about an hour the redness is gone and maybe a day or two the whole blemish has disappeared! its my favorite

[@cheersuns21]

I have the sephora blockbuster, and I love it! It smells a little weird but they shadows are very pigmented, as well as the blushes and lip glosses.

[@serenity8910]

My sister has that Sephora makeup palette with eyeshadows, blushs, lipglosses... I personally think that it's a good buy. Even though the pigmentation isn't like MAC, you can make any eyeshadows pop out with a nice white or black base.

[@Summer0234]

For spot treatment, I just use a topical acne medication prescribed by my doctor. If you have bad acne and oily skin, I highly reccomend seeing your doctor and using the Vichy Norma derm line!!! It's the best, and I love the facial scrub. Your eye makeup looks pretty, but I think the blush is a bit too dark. =)

[@fluffypuppylover]

I used the Clean and Clear acne kit. I loved it the first three days. My skin cleared up, it was soft and fresh and oil free. Day four it dried out and turned red as well. None of my moisturizers could cure the tight flaky skin it gave me.

[@Melodeedubs]

Hey blair I recommend the Tresemme Color Thrive shampoo and conditioner - I used to use bumble and bumble but when It ran out I got the Tresemme products as a temporary replacement but I have not gone back since because it makes my hair smell great, soooo soft and sooo shiny. It is absolutely the best shampoo/conditioner that I have ever used! Plus it is made for colored hair and comes in blonde, brunette or red!!! :) xoxo

[@lilniponji]

Hi Blair! I have the Naked Honey Skin Salve and I love it! I use it everyday especially at night on my lips. Since it's cold here my lips dry up really bad and this makes them sooo soft and not crack. I also use it on my elbows and hands at times and I love it. Just sad I didn't stock up or get a back up when I first got it.

[@Kidgroom]

I enjoy listening to her. She seems very nice and enthusiastic about what shes talking about in her videos. I am a guy and i do not really need these tips, I would just like to say good job on these videos Blair. You are very helpful :).

[@spidermonkiee]

something that really works for blemishes and acne is this spot neutralizer by 'Thali'on" but the thing is that its pretty expensive for only 15mls, i think its like $60 canadian, but it really really works, like i use it religiously and another thing that i use thats really good is the evian mineral spray, its really hydrating and makes my skin really soft

[@BrownieDropOut]

i agree about the shadesticks too. i bought quite a few, but i found out that the nyx ones are so much better! so now, i'm trying to use them all up for back to mac.

[@xhaziie]

garnier melt-in mask, its surposed to be used as a conditioner and give you 'silky waves' (my hair dries wavy, so it cant b that hard) MY HAIR WENT ALL FRIZZY! i put it in b4 a festival and left it wet to dry while i walked to the bus stop, cos i was late. and i was at the festival with frizzy hair..

[@glendaaaax3]

Oh my gosh, I love Woodwinked & Rubenesque PP. They're gorgeous colors. To each his own, I guess. It's true the glosses from MAC are sticky, but the color payoff is kinda divine.

[@bbtee]

i regretted on buying Bed Head Shampoo & Conditioner. The green bottle one for straightening your hair. It made my hair really dry and i can actually see more split ends! :( btw, love your videos! you are so adorable!

[@CrazyAmberRun]

i regretted buying the paul mitchell too. i just recently got Aussie Moist Shampoo & some random Tresemme conditioner for dry/frizzy hair, for around 5 bucks for both, and i'm in love with them. more so the Aussie Moist, because it's made my hair so soft and protected so well against split ends i rarely have to use the conditioner. even during the winter. it's amazing how cheap products sometimes are better.

[@Neverland610]

Blair, hi my aunt is an esstitation like dealing with skin and skin treatment and becayse of her i rarely have a zit on my face but she said that the dream mousse when it is applied it fills your pours with the product and thats what makes you breakout from the product! i hope that helped:)

[@ttorres888]

I have the same type of hair, but now I'm using Pantene Beautiful Lenghts (shampoo and conditioner). When I rinse the conditioner I use a comb. After the shower I just apply CHI Straight Guard (smoothing styling cream). And that's it! (Do not brush you hair). It works!

[@karatepop]

Haha, I love the Clean & Clear! My skin is ridiculously sensitive and reacts to everything with breakouts, so I'm really surprised it worked so well for me.

[@stephb79]

also your blush looks very pretty so ignore whatever person said they didn't like it. you're ridiculously gorgeous.

[@LoopyLainy129]

I have the mac honey i washed the kids and i really like it! It is really oily, but i put it on my elbows, put on a long sleeved shirt, and go to bed. In the morning my elbows are soft and they still smell really delicious! i hope this helps you with the product :)

[@j.u.s.t.j.u.l.i.a]

hi Blair I love the shadesticks of MAC but I think that they are not that good when you have oily skin, they are perfect for my dry skin. I almost use them daily.

[@traitorsss]

That clean and clear kit did a good job of getting rid of my acne, it just didn't prevent new acne. So I guess you could say it works, but I seem to be the only one!

[@juicyluv218]

i have the photo finish light primer, and it used to make me breakout so i stopped using it. now that my skin is way clearer (thanks to clinique 3-step and this cream called Benzaclin--look it up!) i'm using it again, little by little, and it's not so bad anymore! i also have the dream matte mousse blush and it gave me a rash on my cheeks!! something i regret buying are the products from the revlon matte collection! the lipstick makes my lips dry and the shadows aren't pigmented whatsoever!

[@mdiaz104]

i actually have the InStyler curling, and it is amazing! it leaves my hair really shiny and the curls actually hold without me putting much product on it.

[@JasmineLi_TheHappySloths]

ans: dr. feelgood from benefit- it doesn't go on smoothly, and tends to dry up at the end of the day thanks blair, you put so much efforts in your videos!

[@porcelaingoddess]

I have the spot treatment and I really love it! I dont use the face wash because it makes me red and I dont like the way the lotion makes me face feel, but the spot treatment does wonders and you can buy it individually like I do if its the only step you like. (:

[@NicoleeRaviolee]

I have found that the Clean & Clear Advanced Spot Treatment works really well for me!I wear glasses, so I put it on the bridge of my nose and my temples. I also use it on my chin, where I get my worst breakouts.. I don't know about the rest of the kit though, I guess I'll just take your word for it! P.S. What were the shadow pencils you compared the MAC ones to?

[@hashottie]

I have the ELF liquid liner, and i like it on OCCASION. Mine doesnt smell at all so i dont know what happened with yours, i prefer their studio cream eye liner that you apply with a brush. I also dont reccomend any type of felt tip eye liner because they run out really quick or they will look great for a while but wear down and not be as defined of a line.

[@mmewhiteville]

I also regret having bought the Smashbox Photo Finish Primer, just because it's so thick and pastey!! One blush you should not get is by Cargo. It's super flakey!!! Once you get the colour on, it's nice, but you have to manage to get it on which is tricky.

[@BabiiFahita]

I used the clean and clear 3 step acne thing too, and I didn't like it much either. But I still had a little faith in the clean and clear brand and I bought the black head eraser deal, I dont have horrible black heads but I do have kind of flakey dry skin and it totally made my skin soft and moisturized. after you use it your skin feels SO soft. and it did help clear up skin :D

[@emmysa]

The Mary Kay Acne System is not for those with sensitive skin. I used it once for the first time and my face felt like sand paper and i had spots with sores too. I even went to the doctor to check on it. I did not go to school either since it hurted and I looked terrible. But on the other side my brother had acne problems and it works on him. So it all depends on you're skin type. For me it had consequenses for others it will work!

[@DanceDreaDance]

I looove the dream matte mouse foundation...That is the only foundation that doesn't make my makeup feel thick and it does the job for me. Im glad that it doesn't break my skin out...It stinks that it made you break out.

[@glamourful26]

Same thing happended to me when I used Proactive!! The refining mask is amazing-but Queen Helene Mint Julep Mask works even better! I have super oily skin too-and the only products that work for me are from Clinique-they control oil and totally get rid of acne:)

[@Mmmdomi]

blair, maybe your skin broke out with the clean and clear because you applied the spot treatment more than you needed to, because the same happened to me ! if youre looking for a good scrub i suggest MORNING BURST SCRUB by them, it leaves your skin sooooooo smooth and fresh during and after shower. :)

[@Miyalithia]

I know you asked for bad products, but I also have oily skin, and I tried Smashbox Anti-shine anti-brilliance and I usually put it on my t-zone. And it actually keeps it looking matte for the whole day! Its not like foundation or anything so I don't think it would make you break out. P.S. Great video. (:

[@onetreehill424]

can you do an updated room tour or makeup vanity tour?!!! or a whats in my bag!

[@pgmaxtwo]

hint for elbows that get greasy with ointment on them....cut the toes out of old socks and pull them up over your elbows like arm warmers. Keeps the moisturizer on the skin...and not the linens overnight.

[@ThursdayHeights]

Morning burst doesn't say anything about fighting acne. Well, maybe the green one does but the orange was doesn't. I like the way it makes my face tingle. And it doesn't dry my face out

[@Haydenforeverbabyred]

i use clean and clear products quite often, and i really like them. However they are quite harsh, so i wouldn't recommend them to people with sensitive skin. But i think they're effective :)

[@LittlePinkRoses]

I regret buying the proactiv 3 step system, it made my skin soooo bad, and i only had mild acne. So then, thx to you, I tried the clinique 3 step skin care system and my skin cleared up completely, so now i know it was proactiv that did that to me!

[@pinklovr22]

hey blair.. love the vids. i use the elf eyeliner and love it. they actually did change the smell. the older/first ones smelled REALLY BAD, but the newer ones don't :)

[@garlicnoodles]

The Garnier Fructis bamboo aerosol hairspray...it didn't hold in my hairstyle, it just made my hair kind of crunchy (but it did smell good). Revlon nail polish...the color wasn't very pigmented and when I finally had enough layers to look decent it was IMPOSSIBLE to remove.

[@catlover0588]

i had the dream matte mousse foundation, and it didnt make me break out, it just clogged my pores soo soo much! i had also bought the dream matte mousse blush, and i noticed it did not wash off so easily, and i dont like scrubbing at my face to get blush off my face!

[@nsara0210]

the bed head manipulator!! i realized right when its put on it looks greasy, even just a drop ive tried other products for the baby hairs and they work sooooo much better

[@MacenMadness]

i regret buying the clean and clear redness control, because ironically it actually makes my face far more red. also the revlon double twist mascara, it doesnt give you volume or thickness unless you apply it like 10 times. also any felt tip pen liner, because i noticed that after like a few uses the tip bends so much that you cant really get the color out anymore. and i only use the clean and clear spot treatment that works for me the rest doesnt.

[@Champagane]

I slightly regret buying some of the MAC makeup brushes, but only because they were so expensive. I bought a set of 12 brushes from coastalscents and they work just as well as the MAC ones, but all 12 were cheaper than one MAC brush. My friend also uses the same foundation and she is always breaking out, so I will let her know to try switching to see if that helps.

[@harrietjane07]

I had the Dream Matte Mousse Foundation and I have combination skin and it made the oily parts of my skin break out and the dry parts went super dry and flaked really bad. I regret buying that. But I love the Smashbox Primer, I couldnt live without it.

[@SincerelySaraV]

i regret buying the pulse perfection?? vibrating mascara because it clumps very easy and splits your lashes and also the wave because i dont really use it. i love the 3 step clean and clear you showed it totally cleared me up but it to me a while to get the hand of it.

[@rachwaldrach]

omg i definitely regret buying the clean and clear acne kit too, it dryed my face out so bad it hurt to talk or make any facial movements and also made my face red

[@sassysly555]

I love the clean and clear morning burst collection, they actually work for my skin, where as neutrogena leaves my skin bright red, dry and itchy :S

[@emzirlycoutureee]

omg, i tried the clean and clear 3 step system as well and it didn't make my skin red. It made my skin sooooooo dry like it was peeling and make up would not cover it up. The moisterizer even made my skin even more dry. So, those commercials are definitely lying when they say it works better than proactiv.

[@Mzkissnmakeup]

i love the mac shade sticks!! use them daily!! the trick is to warm em up a bit by rolling them between ur warm hands! i regret buying Max factor eyeshadow trio with bright purple turquoise and yellow!! the colors never seemed to show even with primer and layering!! just not enuff pigment i suppose! Oh and the cover girl lipstain! bought 4 diff colors and they all turned out to look funky!! and they dont stay that well either!! i love my Vincent Longo stain in liquid kiss!!!

[@RoseLNguyen]

Oh, I also regret buying the CHI ionic color hair conditioner and shampoo. It did the same thing to my hair as your Paul Mitchell set. Also, I regretted buying the GHD rare flat iron (which is basically the IV iron). It did the same thing as my Ultra Chi. It was as fast as the GHD, and it worked the same, so I returned it yesterday at Sephora and got my full money back.

[@kdidley]

i got the sephora blockbuster palette for christmas and i like it because of all the colors and choices i have, but i know what you mean about the pigmentation. i was pretty disappointed about it, but i still have it and use it

[@Andilannd]

I was actually going to buy that mousse foundation and now im so glad that you mentioned you break out when you use it because my skin type is veryyy similar to yours...(at least thats what ive gathered from your videos) thank so much!

[@ejkim9]

lash blast length. you have have to put on 293874387 coats for it to even stick! and it doesnt make your eyelashes longer at all. and when you have it on, it doesnt feel like you have any mascara on at all.

[@killursorrow]

I regret buying Veet's "prevent-under-the-skin-hairs-or-whatever". I only used it in one leg and I didn't notice any difference between the 2 one month later. I regret buying any Garnier Shampoo (Fructis, etc) it left my hair so dry! I love Syoss' and Llogueras hairmask though! The Total Face brush from Elf- I don't feel like it does a good job. and I'm still deciding if I regret buying their mineral foundation aswell. today worked pretty good - but it doesn't give me the coverage I want.

[@entangledhopes]

I just bought the dream mousse foundation and I've been breaking out too but I just made that connection!! I changed my face wash at the same time so I didn't know what was doing it. I'm so sad now, I loved that foundation :(

[@abb399]

The I have the ELF eyeliner, and I LOVE it!! You can usually talk to a rep ad they will send you a new one (unless its over the "expiration date" (when makeup goes bad))

[@ColourItPurple]

hay blair . the product that you metion in the video that works really well for me its the clear and clear advantage pack. i had no problems with it except and the first time i used it broke and but now im acne free! a product that i do regret buy is yes the maybelline dream matte moouse . its horrible . its really oily. :)

[@ambamalot]

OMG!!! The clean and clear kit you did, that made my eye lashes flake, my edge of my face flake and my face felt like it was burning. It hurt so bad. I even went to the doctor and he said because of the chemicals, this can damage anyones face. this shouldnt be on the market!!!! it was painful. took about a month to recover that.

[@lulu2692]

I regret buying: the Neutrogena Wave, Neutrogena Acne Skin Care System, Victorias Secret Beauty Rush sprays, Garnier Fructis aerosol hairspray, Bath & Body Works lip glosses, and Victorias Secret sea salt spray for hair..it made my hair so textured that it looked I hadn't washed it in days and gave it a gross feeling. Thanks for the videos!

[@jprompinit]

I like the Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse Foundation. I don't wear it often enough to know if it breaks me out though. I regret buying Maybelline's Lash Stilletto Mascara and Loreal's Double Extend Beauty Tubes Mascara. They both weigh my lashes down and don't hold a curl.

[@dreamingginny]

I actually love the Paul Mitchell shampoo and conditioner, in the strengthening formula though, not for dyed hair. It makes my hair soft smooth and shiny :] What I don't like that I bought before was the Catwalk brand oatmeal and honey shampoo and conditioner. I bought it for a long time and thought it was helping, but then my hairdresser mentioned that my hair still had a bunch of split ends, and I noticed that it really didn't feel that good.

[@xoPolkaDotixo]

I just bought that clean and clear spot treatment.. and it made my face soo red! It like stripped a layer of skin of my face.

[@Mlum0517]

Hi! I can help you with that. :) Make sure you wear a good primer under all face makeup. Also, make sure you wear a good eye primer. After applying all your foundation, make sure you buff on some translucent powder to set everything! That should help. :)

[@oh_itsjenna]

OMGSH! I was totally JUST about to buy a warm and cozy shadestick. Should I still get it? I mean, you said its not very pigmented right? I'm not sure...hmm.

[@realblonde411]

the clean and clear moisturizer. it didnt make my face red but it was really oily.

[@stephxx4]

i bought the clean and clear 3 step control kit too, and i regret buying it. it left my face really red too. the bottles are still pretty full.

[@surferdudette55]

dont ever get the cover girl total coverage foundation! it made my skin soooo grosly oily and flaky it was the wierdest thing! maybe mine was a like defected one but DO NOT EVERR GET IT!!!!!! it made me break out like crazy! and also the nutrogena wave did not do anything for my skin. it jst vibrated and felt wierd. thats all. it did not get rid of my acne at all! luv ur vids blair =]

[@kimxomusic]

I bought the Clean & Clear 3 step acne system that you had last year or the year before and it had the same effect on my skin that it did on yours. There is this really inexpensive acne treatment that I got at CVS a few years ago I believe it's called Terminator 10 and all it is is a leave on cream that you can use as a spot treatment or if you prefer your whole face and it really helped clear my skin up. The only think I don't like about it is that it dries out my skin.

[@katiedale96]

I agree with the MAC shadesticks! I was so excited about the Warm and Cozy collection shadesticks so I went out and got one and I really do regret it because the colour is hard to get out and it sort of disappears after a while, leaving the colour splotchy and uneven! Major disappointment!

[@sweetgianna1]

I LOVE the paul micthell flat iron!!!! my friend did the clean and clear thing and she said her face was sooo red thats horrible for somthing like that to happen. I had an elf eyeliner it smelled fine to me, mabey its just yours?

[@nana0423]

Hi Blair! I absolutely L-O-V-E your videos!!! I have a question about your bracelets I know they are from Tiffanys & I wanted to know if the beaded one is the small or bigger sized beads because they have two sized & I've been dying for that bracelet for the longest time and now i cant decide. Thanks!

[@KellyS74]

Hi Blair, The dream matte mousse was really drying to my skin. Paul Mitchel is super expensive and so didnt do what it said on the tin. Mac studio fix fluid was a big regret (i took it back!) as i had major break outs with it and made me look like i'd been tangoed througout the day!! oh and maybelline super stay color 18hr lipcolor, amazing color, but was soooo drying!! and the second you have a drink etc, it all clumps up, eeuuww! lol. love your vids on here btw x

[@BorisIvy]

the spot treatment from clean and clear i love it!!

[@RandaMoody]

I giggled when you said the "MAC honey i washed the kids skin save", 2 brands in one?? lol, i really like this tag, thanks for doing it!

[@ROCKoutPLZZZ]

The Clean and Clear is something I totally regret buying. Love, Hannah

[@Birkinbag09]

•Bobbi brown pot rouge; I was talked into this by the sales assistant, it was hard to apply onto my skin and the colour was too strong. •Chanel matte lumier foundation; I found this foundation hard to apply it was too thick and it smelt really bad. •Chanel tweed blusher; the pigmentation was really poor it hardly showed up on my skin •Chanel eye shadow quad in spice; the pigmentation was bad and the colours were matte which I didnt realise as I like shimmering eye shadows.

[@alejandra_magdalena]

hi Blair! I have the dream matte mousse foundation and I LOOOVE IT!! the problem is that I can't wear it over the summer 'cause is too hot here in Mexico so my skin gets very oily =( also I bought many tressemé products and none of them did what they were suppoused to do...my brother loves them though..who knows

[@Franne125]

I have the blockbuster kit from Sephora. I think your right about the pigment quality of the eyeshadow but overall i don't think its that terrible (the lipgloss is pretty awesome)

[@aceofhearts0]

i love the matte mousse from maybelline. i little goes along way with this product, so u have to be sure no to overdo it. that might be way it broke u out. I have used it for years now and it is my favorite drugstore foundation.

[@KristenSwann]

So Blair, I looked through all of your videos and didn't find a yellow look tutorial. Which sucked because I needed something to go with my outfit for tomorrow. I was wondering if you could do a yellow eye look for maybe a future yellow outfit? Please and thanks :D

[@PacificOcean17]

Clean & Clear has Sal. Acid in it and it made my face red too because it burned in sensitive skin!

[@karynnthedreamer]

I love Dream Matte Mousse personally... doesn't make me break out, weirdly, because I am very acne-prone.

[@xTrueHeartx]

I love the biotera color care conditioner and shampoo. It works sooo good on me and leaves my hair really soft

[@TheDecoCottage]

I LOVE Smashbox PhotoFinish Light Foundation Primer. It's the only product that keeps my makeup from sliding off my face. I regret using Proactiv for so long. It cleared up my skin for a while, then it my skin broke out so horribly bad. On top of breaking me out, it gave me a horrible chemical burn all over my face.

[@DollFaceHottie]

I had the Clean&Clear Kit too! I like it though, but I don't get red easily, and my skin isn't sensitive at all [:. I agree I was convinced to get the MAC shade sticks, and I really wish I would have just gotten the Jumbo pencils, but I haven't because I said "I am going to use this before buying anymore of these!". I have the SmashBox Apriot primer, I like it [: Maybe it makes my face a little to oily though. It might be because of my Satin Finish Foundation though, I'll try it with Studio Fix.

[@mscindyruth]

You should re-buy the elf eyeliner. Mine has almost no smell and the color is the BLACKEST eyeliner i have ever used. the staying power is ridiculous too. I swatched on my hand and it stayed on through a shower.

[@purple279]

I have the Dream Matte Mousse founation too! I liked it but my skin is combination so in some spots that foundation makes my skin all flaky and makes it look dry! But now that I think about it, It might have caused me to break out too!

[@TheMakeupFreak552]

The spot treatment in Clean & Clear works for me and dosen't make my skin red.

[@gracieJKLM]

If you ever buy Aveeno positively radiant wipes they are amazing, just don't use the exfoliating side too much, and maybe use them 3 times a week because it kind of made my skin dry :( and the neutrogena wave barely vibrates and the cleanser sealed into the pads is not the best

[@GlistenLover7]

When you were talking about the elf liquid eyeliner I definitely went and smelled mine. Mine is a little stinky now that you mention it.
