May is almost over...so let's talk about what just didn't work for us. You know you have something to gripe about!

And for a change of pace for the pic, let's do Mae West for May!

My miss this month is . I know they aren’t very pigmented but it didn’t leave any color at all on me. Sadly she will be returned.

For me this month's miss is Big Sexy Hair Root Pump Plus. It just left me with my hair all stuck together in clumps. It really should be called Root Clump Plus.

@CorgiMommy I tried it a few months ago and it was so bad. I’m glad I just got a mini.

@CorgiMommy I was so disappointed because it is so pretty. I have 3 other shades that show up just fine.

I was SO excited to smell the so I went to a store, sprayed it on a card, and immediately liked it because I really enjoy sweet, fruity perfumes and it smelled so yummy! I went ahead and used the tester to spritz a little on myself and within five minutes I was almost nauseated; allll of the yummy top notes had vanished and the only thing left that I could smell was musk and a scent very reminiscent of patchouli (which I hate). It was also incredibly strong so I literally had to go home later and take a shower just to try and wash off the scent before I could even go to bed that night because I hated how it smelled so much.

@skincaregirl47 wow, thanks for the heads up

@CookieGirl1 that is a shame, this reminds me to not always rely on the card test.

@CookieGirl1 Oh yikes - I'm sorry you didn't like this. However, I'm definitely glad I read this because I almost purchased this without testing first.

Yes, I use the test cards to narrow it down. But always try perfume on your skin before buying, some scents can change quite drastically once mixed with your skin chemistry.

@Lazer03 @CorgiMommy I was amazed at the drastic difference from card to skin because at first I genuinely liked it and to be fair, I feel like most people do like it so it might work better for you. I'm glad that there are store testers to try!

Mostly I wanted to try the . It has a great balm-like texture, but never soaks in no matter how little (or much) I use. It just sits on my skin.

This seems like a nice product that would be even better if it were significantly more moisturizing.

I'm not even sure what to say about this! If you enjoy putting green slime on your face this is for you. That's the highlight of this product. 😝

#iNNBEAUTY PROJECT Keep It Clean Hydrating Gel Cleanser with Ceramides & 10 Amino Acids 6.7 oz / 200 mL This cleanser is too drying for my combo/oily skin. It does clean well both as a cleanser and makeup remover, but I've used better that doesn't dry my skin.

@Titian06 love the green slime comment.

LOL - @CorgiMommy , thanks! 😄

@CookieGirl1 Thank you for the heads up on that. I had just looked at generic notes and thought it sounded good. After you mentioned the patchouli I see it listed in the fragrance description.

@Titian06 that whole thing sounds like a disaster! So sorry!
