3 Beauty Products I am Never Re-purchasing

Hi Loves!
As I was going through my beauty pantry today-
I use half of the linen closet to store excess beauty things that don't fit in my room,
terrible I know!-
I came across a few items that I used only once and hated.
Instead of throwing things away right then and there I usually wait a while before trying it again.
Give it a second chance because maybe I set my hopes to high the first time.
Usually my first instinct is correct and I end up hating these products, vowing to never use or repurchase them again.

I could make a list of about 10 things but I will give you my Top 3 
and save the rest for a future video :)


1. Garnier Fructis Hydra Recharge 1 Minute Mask


This was one of my last hair product purchases and I am so disappointed with it.
I hate the smell. I could have sworn that in the store it smelled like kiwi, but 
as I used it in my hair this morning it smells more like plastic.
Yes, if you want plastic in cream form then here you go!
I left it in for 3-4 minutes, rinsed it out with cold water and let my hair air dry.
My hair doesn't feel hydrated and now smells like a plastic baby bottle.
This is not the first product from this line I have tried either. 
I am currently testing out some shampoos from them (which I am also not too crazy about).
I really try to be optimistic when it comes to Garnier Fructis but honestly for the price,
you really get what you pay for.







2. Hair One Cleansing Conditioner


This product is the 'generic' brand of Wen- a high quality, high priced hair cleansing system.
I used the one for color treated hair back when I was blonde 
and found the bottle shoved to the back of my closet.
I literally used this product once and refused to ever let it touch my hair follicles again.
It is absolutely terrible for your hair and not conditioning whatsoever.
It left my hair very greasy and oily.
My ends were dry and I had to use shampoo 2-3 times to get it out of my scalp.
The idea is for it to be a 2-in-1 type of product. Cleanse and condition your hair in one step.
I would recommend sticking to your 2 step process before putting your mane through this!





3. GVP: Tea Trea Oil Lavender 


I can't believe I let myself go through half the bottle before finally dumping this shampoo.
I wanted it to work so bad!
It smells great and that is about it.
I would have to shampoo my hair twice to get it to actually feel even remotely clean.
On top of that there is no invigorating or soothing feeling from the mint is claims to possess.




Lesson Learned: When it comes to generic brand products, keep your hopes as low as the prices are.
