Products I regret Buying January - March 2015

Hello again! :) 
I'm sure most of you have bought products before thinking that they'd be great and they just aren't what you expected them to be or they just don't work for you. Well these are my products that I regret buying over the last few months and please don't be offended if you love any of these things because they might be really good, it's just that they don't suit me. 

Nivea Sensitive 3 In 1 Micellar Cleansing Water:
I absolutely love cleansing waters as they're so cheap and easy to use, especially if you're lazy when it comes to taking your makeup off at night-time like me. I usually use the "Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water" but mine ran out so I popped to Morrisons (My nearest supermarket) to find out that they don't sell the Garnier water so I grabbed Nivea's cleansing water instead as I couldn't wait until the next day to buy another else I'd have to leave the house with panda eyes!  The Nivea cleansing water isn't awful... It doesn't break me out or sting my face so I do use it when I have nothing else to use. It just takes so much longer to take my makeup off than usual and I also have to scrub a lot more around my eyes which isn't good.

Maybelline Baby Skin Instant Pore Eraser:
For the last few years I've suffered with my pores and I've been trying to find a relatively cheap product that will work before turning to more high end products. I bought this on a whim without looking at any reviews and I was so gutted when I tried it! I applied it to clean skin and waited for it to soak in/dry before applying my foundation, but it just left my skin feeling so oily and it felt just like a thick layer of silicone all over my face. It also made my foundation wear off really quickly and made no difference to my pores. This may work for other people but the only good thing for me was just the cute packaging.

Maybelline Volum' Express Mascara: 
I bought this mascara as it was near Christmas and I was trying to be careful with my money. This was one of the cheapest mascaras on Superdrug's website that didn't have awful ratings (though it did have a few bad ones). The actual mascara is pretty decent for the price as soon as you've applied it, however, after a few hours it starts to flake really badly and irritates my eyes. I've also discovered that I'm allergic to it as every time I wear it I get really red swollen eyelids that are covered in really sore flaky, dry skin. I've never really been allergic to any makeup before so it came as quite the surprise.

Carino Firm Hold Hairspray:
This was another product that I bought on a whim because I'd ran out of my normal hairspray. I normally use the "Wella Silverkin Maximum Hold Hairspray" as my hair is really fine and does not stay in place what so ever! But this hairspray has no hold at all unless I spray tonnes of it which is just a waste and it's still nowhere near as good as my normal go-to hairspray. It also smells so strong! I used to hate the smell as it reminded me of a perfume that somebody in their 60's would probably wear... And it's so overpowering that you can smell my hairspray instead of whichever perfume I'm wearing that day.

Simple Oil Balancing Moisturiser:
I think this moisturiser would be good if you have really oily skin as it does mattify your skin, but I wouldn't call it a moisturiser as it doesn't seem to moisturize my skin at all, I'd just call it a mattifying primer. I have combination skin so maybe that's why it doesn't work for me but it does nothing to help with any dryness, and also the product is a really strange texture as some parts are just pure liquid and some bits are really lumpy, even if I shake it for a while before using it.
