I spray it on, let it sit for about 5 minutes, brush it through, then sleep on it. It absorbs and looks fine in the morning. It looks CRAZY if i spray it in the AM, though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-some-beauty-products-that-dont-work-for-you#post-672162 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 00:23:17 +0000 anonysquire 672162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: I'm sure it was user malfunction for me as well but I wish I could use it.

I really want one that won't smear! I used to like the MAC one because it smeared the least, but I am still in search of a smudge proof one that won't make me look horrible by the end of the day. :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-some-beauty-products-that-dont-work-for-you#post-672151 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 00:08:50 +0000 anonysquire 672151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dry shampoo. Any and all of the, look so powdery on my scalp. Then I have gray hair. Or they get weird oily textures going on. So I end up washing everyday or every other day and ponytail on non wash days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-some-beauty-products-that-dont-work-for-you#post-671979 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 21:02:52 +0000 Caly 671979@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: I use Bobbi Brown Ultra Fine Eyeliner Brush.

It always ends up feeling sticky or too slippery. I like the way it looks so every once in a while I try a new one. But alas, no go. </p> <p>@autumnlove Oooohh, I recently discovered the magic that is gel pot eyeliner &amp; finally got the hang of it. Love it now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-some-beauty-products-that-dont-work-for-you#post-671235 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 14:06:53 +0000 illumina 671235@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love Bare Minerals! I have combination skin and it's the only power/foundation combo that's worked for me. </p> <p>Anything MAC doesn't sit right on me at all... I find everything so heavy and/or artificial looking. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-some-beauty-products-that-dont-work-for-you#post-671232 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 14:04:35 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 671232@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have dry skin so powders never worked! I need really loose/watery foundations &amp; I often have to mix them in my palms with a moisturizer.<br /> And what else?...<br /> I hate lip liners! Again though: dry skin an lip liners make me look cracked.<br /> And finally- I don't get the hype behind Mac eyeshadows. They are all too pigmented for me and I always look like a clown despite the MANY shades I've tried :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-some-beauty-products-that-dont-work-for-you#post-671079 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 13:19:10 +0000 betsyboop 671079@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bare Escentuals and all of those powders. They feel so heavy on my face!</p> <p>Also, the moroccan oils for your hair that seem to be all the rage these days. They make my hair look, well, oily! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-some-beauty-products-that-dont-work-for-you#post-671018 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 13:05:45 +0000 keiki_mama 671018@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BelugaBean: Bare Minerals didn't work on me either.

It never works well. Even Bare Minerals made my skin look weird. </p> <p>Also, Burt's Bees worked before I was pregnant but about halfway through pregnancy and even now, it just irritates my lips. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-some-beauty-products-that-dont-work-for-you#post-670964 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 12:51:58 +0000 prettylizy 670964@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nars blush in Orgasm..... it's tooooo... something!

I consider myself to be of medium skin tone and it makes me look way, way too light. I'd love to see it come in different shades.</p> <p>I will probably add more to this list as I think of products. </p>
