Wait and See.. Hits and Misses!

Everytime I go shopping for products I hope for a hit! But every then and again, it turns out not so much...
misses are a part of life, mistakes happen and we can all learn from them.
should we start with the good or the bad?
the bad I suppose is the way to go, rip off the bandaid of sorts.
First and foremost i would like to say, these products didn't work for ME. That means they might work for you, but for me it just didnt happen.
LUSH bath bombs, I just don't get the appeal, and I've  tried my fair share, I WANT to love it, but i take a bath, it fizzes and all and then... flatline------ just seems silly that I spent money on it, didnt make my skin miracle smooth or soft, a little oily but once I dried off, it went away.
Almay age defying concealer
This product sounded great, the colour on the tube, since you can't swatch it, looks right but when I got it home it had a super gray cast. I thought to myself okay, not for under eye area but maybe blemishes? Nope! Just made a cakey look to them and made the skin look dull. NOT a fan.
Maybelline colour tatoo in bad to the bronze
Again I WANT to love this, it seems to be a cult product, but I don't. it is sticky and too dark which i can't exactly blame on the product, but I still was left unhappy. Maybe you have to be more tan to enjoy this product, but then I didnt like the formulation either so who knows?
On to the good stuff! hooray!
Recently purchased a new foundation as my Nearly Naked by Revlon was nearly gone and starting to get tacky with the warmer months. so I tried
Loreal magic lumi foundation in Ivory
This is awesome, if for no other reason than the freakin pump! I love me a good oump on a product, plus the coverage is decent, medium not full but thats what I prefer. If you are looking for full coverage you can definately build this up.
Urban decay Naked Basics and Naked Flushed
I am a self-proclaimed urban decay naked junkie, I have every product in the line minus the foundation. The naked basics is wonderful with all the matte colours to compliment the shimmery blush that comes woth naked fluahed. All the pallettes work well together. I literally cannot say enough good things about this line.
LUSH Ocean face and body scrub. Finally a Lush product I can get behind . This is a fantastic scrub. I got a sample with my last (read:disaster) lush buy. While most of that stuff was a bust I tried this product instead of just tossing it like lost hopes and dreams that were my impression of lush. I will purchase this again and again, it is fantastic!!
That's all for

Today I am heading to Vegas today so stay tuned for a Vegas haul!
