Social media made me buy it: favorites or regrets?

July 05, 2018

When it comes to social media I can admit that I am easily influenced by other people, and their opinions, especially when it somes to beauty products. Over the years there have been some products I've bought that I never would have bought if it weren't for the fact that they were hyped up so much on social media. With that said, there isn't many of these products that has really disappointed me tho, I've been rather pleased with all of them.

Too Faced Sweet Peach Palette

This one I bought about a year ago, I think it was the second time it came out, and I had heard so many good reviews of it so I just had to buy it! It's definitely become a favorite, I don't think I ever will regret buying this! The quality of this palette is amazing, the shadows are so buttery and blend like nothing else. The color combination is bomb, the perfect summer palette, Too Faced really did it with this one.

Laura Mercier Loose Powder

Before the big hype of the Laura Mercier Loose Powder, I didn't even know that loose powder and baking was a thing. So after a while of hearing about this all over YouTube and Instagram, I finally decided to try it out. After I used it a couple of times i realized that my makeup stayed put for so much longer on my oily skin, and that my pores and texture were minimized. I would say that this product seriously changed my hole makeup game (even tho its not my favorite anymore, since I've tried other ones).

Benefit Porefessional Primer
When primer first became a thing, this was the one everybody was talking about. It was everywhere, and all of the big influencers raved about it, and how you couldn't do your makeup without it. So of course, i bought it. When I first tried it out I was amazed over how small my pores looked and how flawless my skin seamed. But after a few hours of wearing this on my oily skin I noticed that my oils started peaking through and the foundation started to break apart.. I still use this tho, but only on occasions when I'm wearing my makeup for a few hours, and not the entire day. Would probably not repurchase this one, would rather buy a primer that suits my skin type better.

Make Up Forever Ultra HD Stick Foundation
This stick foundation was extremely popular a few years ago, and I heard about it everywhere. So when I was out traveling one summer I decided to pick this up, and I was so exited to use it. But again, I have oily skin. This looks really good when I first apply it, but after the five hour mark it just breaks completely apart on my skin, all my oils just ruins it.. So I don't use this that much unfortunately.

L'Oreal Paradise Mascara
This one is a rather new product that got raved about on the Internet when it first launched. This was the mascara everybody was talking about, and I remember I was so upset with the fact that I couldn't get it right away. When I finally got a hold of it I was so excited, and for very good reason! This seriously became my new favorite mascara the second I tried it. It just gives my lashes so much volume and length, without clumping or smudging.

Physisians Formula Butter Bronzer
With this one I really understand the hype! This is seriously the prettiest bronzer I've ever used. This has the perfect color for my skin tone, not too grey, but not too orange either. In addition to that this blends like a dream, it doesn't matter if I put on too much, I can just blend it away, and that way it always looks flawless. I'm in love.
