What are the skin care products that you splurged on.. only to find out they did nothing and were/are completely useless!?
For me it was Elizabeth Arden’s Ceramide Gold Capsule and cream..waste of money and absolutely useless!

Re: Most expensive & useless products..
garnier light eye roll on........spent like 500 on the indian one and then 800 or 900 i guess on the thailand one..........
both were useless and waste of money :P
Re: Most expensive & useless products..
neutrogena acne wash and deep clean..both cost about rs 400 each but can't fight skin oil for more than 5 mins.
Re: Most expensive & useless products..
noxema face wash :S
Re: Most expensive & useless products..
clinique creams....
Re: Most expensive & useless products..
clinique tripple action moisturizing cream,,no use of it...
Re: Most expensive & useless products..
stiefel sunblock..turns all yellow and melts off skin.
ohhh this will be a long list
olay total effects whitening cream etc / 7x fight 7 signs of aging and all that nonsense
nivea spot correcting serum
the body shop sea weed mattifying day cream - its a good oil free cream, but doesnt mattify or control oil
john frieda hair serum anti frizz (and it was mighty expensive too!!)
schwarkopf heat proof anti frizz spray
garnier eye roll on - threw it away the first day!!
rimmel water proof clinically tested allergy free mascara. true on all counts except the water proof bit. forgot i had it on, washed my face (a light sprinkle of water on my face doesnt do anything to any of my makeup!!) and went out to meet my cousins with a beautiful set of panda eyes. got it for 850 rupees. what a waste.
neutrogena hand cream/ foot cream norwegian formula. u might as well use vaseline!! it is thick, greasy, and yucky smelling, and still doesnt moisturise well. i have bought almost every cream/hand lotion in the market as i have VERY VERY VERY dry hands - and the ONLY thing that has cured them is the body shop moringa body butter. if there is one beauty product i am truly thankful for, its this butter.
loreal mineral makeup powder. nothing natural to look at. and no, i am pretty fair, and had the right shade to begin with.
loreal minerals blush. somehow vanishes away into ur face within a couple of hours. 2 hours tops!! spent >2k on it too :(
these r off the top of my head. will come back with more.
Re: Most expensive & useless products..
Elizabeth Arden's foundation spray...what a waste of money
Roclon ;neutrogena hand cream suits me ,ı love to invest on thıs cream :)
Re: Most expensive & useless products..
etude water based foundation. the natural beige was actually a total ivory shade. they don't understand the difference i guess. and it causes breakouts.
john frieda hair serum anti frizz (and it was mighty expensive too!!)
loreal minerals blush. somehow vanishes away into ur face within a couple of hours. 2 hours tops!! spent >2k on it too :(
Rockon, did you try using the blush with a primer? I used to have the same issue with all my makeup until i used a primer.
John Frieda anti frizz serum!!! Yes a complete waste.. it just made my hair greasy! I use Aveda's Smooth Infusion Style Prep instead.. I still have to blow dry a little bit b/c my hair is so frizzy but this makes my hair really soft and smooth after the blow dry.
Every foundation I've ever tried except Smashbox was a completely waste of money.. most recently, Dior's Diorskin Nude make up! Made my skin look dirty like I hadn't washed my face in days! yuck! and it wasn't b/c the shade was wrong.
Re: Most expensive & useless products..
i agree Alvena!
Ok so there is a huge list of expensive crap that i have purchased over the years… most memorable crap would be:
Philosophy Hope In A Jar - ![]()
Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Cream - Too thick and gungy… i’ll stick to Vaseline thanks.
Crème De La Mer - more like *Crème De La Merde…
*La Prairie face creams - For the price i paid, i sure as heck expected something fantabulous ![]()
Clé De Peau Beauté La Crème - Best thing about it was the cute silver spoon it came with.
Nads hair removal - I barely had any hair on my legs to begin with, and this Nads thing didn’t even work on my sparse hair… it tasted ok though (natural ingredients).
Wen Cleansing Conditioner - Made my scalp itchy.
Re: Most expensive & useless products..
Clinique!! Anything and everything Ive ever bought....
Re: Most expensive & useless products..
i don’t know if you girls know about karaja cosmetics. they claim to be an italian company but the quality sure doesn’t say that. i bought their eye shadow quad. They r NOT at all pigmented. color would just disappear if you apply it on the eye.
