I've used CG products, they haven't been wonderful, but that's just me. |
Re: Products You Really Regret Buying. by Tatase(f): 1:29am On Feb 05, 2010 |
chika98: I've used CG and overall, whilst its not AMAZING, it's not bad. I really like their CG Smoothers tinted moisturizer with SPF 15, it has replaced foundation for me and I find it absorbs and moisturizes really well, doesn't run off your face when its hot outside, prevents shine but still lets the skin breathe all whilst evening out the skin tone, plus I've been bad a few times and slept in it and it still didn't clog my pores or cause pimples. I also use their CG Clean Pressed Powder which is also ok though not as much of a staple as the tinted moisturizer but good for extra "mattification" during the day. I've used their CG AquaSmooth foundation in the past and I'm not really a fan. But then again I don't really like make up that sits on my face and says "I'm make up." The CG Lash Blast mascara does make a marked difference to the length and thickness of lashes but it also leaves clumps and small balls of mascara on. The CG Outlast LipStain is dry and really difficult to apply, and it doesn't last that long. I don't know if I've mentioned any of the products you were considering trying but that's my take on the ones I can remember right now. @ topic: I have many, because I used to be kind of a PJ (product junkie) and tended to be taken in by ads. But I've narrowed it down to the worst offenders. Dr. Miracle's Temple and Nape Gro Balm- It made my hair fall out. The box says something like (paraphrasing) "the tingle tells you its working and your hair is growing. I don't think so! The tingle is the sensation of your hair ripping itself out of your scalp to escape this mess of a product. Pink Conditioning No-Lye Relaxer - It made my hair super crispy (even when it was still wet). Needless to say, it broke my hair. Clean & Clear Day Soft Oil-Free Moisturizer SPF 15 - I got this for the daytime because my favourite moisturizer (Ponds Dry Skin cream) didn't have any SPF and so I convinced myself I needed this. It sucks, in short. It sits like a coating on your face. You can actually feel your pores suffocating and it makes you sweat even in an air-conditioned room when you're sitting still and I'm generally not a sweaty person. 1 Like |

Neutrogena Salicylic Acid Body Wash. Used it for my body acne. Din't work. My friend also said their body oil darkened her. Although i've read that cosmetic products take 3-6 months to notice results, dont have that kinda patience. |
Re: Products You Really Regret Buying. by Nobody: 3:36am On Feb 05, 2010 |
@post WITH LOVE by Paris It smells so good, but it doesnt linger or last long. Waste of precious money. |
Re: Products You Really Regret Buying. by yjay(f): 9:35am On Feb 05, 2010 |
ssumpta: next time go for Neutrogena body clear body scrub., very effective for body breakouts, |

Tatase:Public service announcement Ladies dont put any of those pink oil whatever in your hair, its horrible its only good for hair extensions, dont put it on your own hair, it'll damage it. @ tatase, i'm going natural at 13 weeks post relaxer and using Dr miracle hot gro, its supposed to grow your hair, is it bad as well? and is it the same as the one you used? tanks |
Re: Products You Really Regret Buying. by shilling(f): 12:15am On Feb 06, 2010 |
whiteroses: What exactly is pink oil? Is the pinkish moisturizer thing that's popular in Nigeria? |
Re: Products You Really Regret Buying. by whiteroses(f): 12:27am On Feb 06, 2010 |
shilling:yep that product is a waste of space but unfortunately very popular in nigeria, its good on extensions tho but it builds up and extension starts smelling. if someone is ready to ruin their hair, dash some pink oil on a relaxed hair and straighten it with a hot straightener, it will fry your hair i swear it will lol |
Re: Products You Really Regret Buying. by shilling(f): 5:26am On Feb 06, 2010 |
lol, that makes sense though. |
Re: Products You Really Regret Buying. by parislomo(f): 9:21am On Feb 06, 2010 |
whiteroses: really?? Oh thanks then. . . I still applied some on ME hair this morning!! *Lord have mercy* |
Re: Products You Really Regret Buying. by mamagee3(f): 12:40am On Feb 07, 2010 |
I regret buying Nivea. . .It makes my skin darker. |
Re: Products You Really Regret Buying. by Tatase(f): 1:35am On Feb 07, 2010 |
whiteroses: I second your PSA about Pink moisturiser o. . . When I was younger that stuff was put liberally in my hair before fighting it with a comb so I have painful memories of it when I smell it. As for Dr. Miracle products: it's very rare that I've actually met someone with positive things to say about this line. Most people I know who've used it have terrible reviews and I'm talking about from the relaxer to the anti-breakage strengthening cream etc and never a good word. |
Re: Products You Really Regret Buying. by shilling(f): 9:20am On Feb 07, 2010 |
Yeah, Dr. Miracle must really suck. Nothing but bad reviews, went to Walmart today with a friend and she cringed when she saw their relaxer, it ruined her hair, had to start again from scratch |

I've used a whole lot of uncountable rubbish till I came accross Clinique 3 step antiblemish solutions. It worked wonders within a couple of days! |
Re: Products You Really Regret Buying. by ubiaa5(f): 10:39pm On Feb 09, 2010 |
BIOTIN-i was adviced to use biotin when i tried to grow out my hair two yrs ago.Did it grow my hair? yes,but not just on my head hair started sprouting out of strange places.Be warned the product works but you will have a whole new problem of hair removal. REVLON COLORSTAY-very dry,dosent last, no shine. MOST DR MIRACLE PRODUCTS-garbage. LORAC BAKED EYESHADOWS- very cakey,mixes into each other after a few hrs. |
Re: Products You Really Regret Buying. by shilling(f): 11:51pm On Feb 09, 2010 |
nezerst: Great stuff!! |
Re: Products You Really Regret Buying. by browncocos(f): 8:57am On Feb 10, 2010 |

@post Mac Liquid foundation. I hate it, I liked it at first, but after a few months, my skin was beginning to react to it. It gets oily and real shiny, and it hard to remove blocking my pores, causing pimples. And it feels like I'm wearing a mask Worst even, after a few hours [like 3hrs] it begins to fade. I wouldnt wear it to an event that will last hours |
Re: Products You Really Regret Buying. by shilling(f): 10:22am On Mar 06, 2010 |
ubiaa5: Wow, didn't know that about biotin, thanks for sharing. FL Gators: I use clinique perfectly real makeup and it's wonderful, lasts all day (I use a primer though), it doesn't provide the fullest coverage out there, but if you don't have much to conceal, then this works great. |
Re: Products You Really Regret Buying. by Nobody: 11:21pm On Mar 06, 2010 |
shilling: Did you see my post in Mad_Max's thread? https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-313268.224.html https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-313268.256.html My mac was running out, wanted to try sth new, saw yours, and I bought it. Mehn, I loff Clinique products. Thanks to you |
Re: Products You Really Regret Buying. by shilling(f): 1:05am On Mar 07, 2010 |
