Summer Hate-Its (Disappointing Products)

From the title, this may seem like a boring post where I will just rant about products but when I was looking at which if my posts have the most page views and comments, I realised that my top two were my 'Beauty and Fashion Favourites of 2013' and 'Disappointing Products of 2013'. Since I do a favourites post roughly every month, I thought that maybe I would start doing a disappointing products post every season.

So since you seem to like it when I rant, here goes! I also just want to note that even though these products disappointed me, you may like them. That's fine, obviously it's just personal preference but these are all products that I would steer clear of. I only had 3 products in this post but if you like it then I will include more in my next one.

1. BabyLiss Curl Secret
Although this product does work to create curls. I was very disappointed with it. I find that it takes such a long time to curl your hair because you have to use tiny strands and ontop of that, I get extremely nervous when doing the back of my hair that I will insert the strand in the wrong place resulting in my hair getting caught in this tiny contraption. Overall, I just wasn't impressed with this product.

2. The Body Shop Tea Tree Cleanser
I've always been a huge fan of tea tree oil to clear blemishes but the cleanser really didn't do it for me or my best friend. I'm not sure whether this was just our skin but I was disappointed by this product. I'm glad I only purchased the

3. Freederm Gel
This is supposed to be the UK equivalent to Proactiv so I was expecting major results but honestly I really didn't find it to work at all.

BabyLiss Curl Secret Review

Hey guys,
Today I'm going to be reviewing the BabyLiss Curl Secret which I got for Christmas.

The first time I tried this, I did everything it said to and my curl was virtually none existent. It didn't curl my hair at all and didn't work very well. I then tried it with a bigger piece of hair because emu hair is very fine and the same, it didn't work well. I gave it chance to heat up for longer, changed the amount of time it was in for and it still didn't work well.

Then I tried it again and my hair got caught! This was my own fault because I probably didn't insert my hair in the correct bit. This is a disadvantage for me because it is very difficult to know at the back of your head which part of the curlers you are putting your hair into. I left it for the day disappointed in the product.

Then I went back to it the following day and tried it with a smaller section of hair. It says to use 3cm of hair which is what I was doing before but instead I used a much smaller amount this day. It did work a lot better which was great but took a long time to curl all of my hair because I had to use such a small amount.

Overall, I would recommend this if you always have lots of time to get ready but if you like to get ready fast and are often rushed for time, I would not recommend buying this because it is a lot of money and you probably wouldn't get the opportunity to use it very often.
