I love it... But I hate it

We all have those products that we love but there is just that one thing about them that pushes you away from using it often.
I thought I would mention three and maybe then this into a regular thing as the list could go on forever!
P.S. Love this make up brush cleanser
This was £2 from primark and I just thought if this works it's going to be a firm favourite if it doesn't it's only £2 lost. Now when I first used this my initial thought was the smell, it smelt clean I'm not sure how else to describe the smell but it was refreshing and nice. I also love using it when I'm out of eyeshadow brushes and need one ASAP. The downside? It takes soooo looong to clean any other brushes and although products on the brushes are removed you really have to work at it. 
It's a handy tool for when you want to lightly clean something however you will never get a deep clean which was the process I wanted to speed up.
Overall I do use this product to keep my brushes from having a wash constantly but the time just isn't worth the effort with some bigger brushes. I also do love the concept so I will be on the hunt to find a better option in this category.
Rimmel provocalips
Firstly apologies on the incredibly mucky packaging they have been wildly loved by my bag.
I love the colours on these lip products (are they a liquid lipstick?) they are really pigmented and stay true to packaging colour. They also are the only "Stains" I can find on the market that are glossy whilst staying a long time. But... this is a big problem they do dry out your lips a lot normally if this is a problem I would just put a balm underneath however if you do that these slip and slide and do not keep an even pigmentation! They also are impossible to remove with out ripping your lips to shreds. So although I don't doubt they can stay 26 hours I will not be willing to keep them on that long. Due to this I rarely where them as my lips are so dry after using them. I love the colour, but hate the after effects.
Benefit they're real push up liner
Now this eye liner is the blackest liner you will ever see it's her black and when you get the flick right it rocks and looks amazing however getting that flick is a whole different story. The tip of the eyeliner is slanted and you would think that would help however certain parts of the tip seen to work better than others and the very point hardly gets any product coming out so your eyeliner doesn't get that nice crisp point without a lot of work. The actual liner doesn't last that long either as I find it smudges on me throughout the day. I love the blackness and the intial look after the effort but it doesn't last unfortunately. I prefer my under £3 nyc liquid eyeliner it's much easier to apply and lasts far longer.
So there are my first three love it hate it's I hope you enjoyed and watch this space for a few more.

Revolution eye shadows

I'm not sure how new the brand reveloution is but it is relatively new stand to my local superdrug, over the past few longs I have picked up four of there shadow palettes.
I believe that they have two ranges of shadows as some out £4 whilst there are six that are £6
Redemption palette iconic 3
I've had this palette the longest and it is very nice to use as an everyday palette at a reasonable price of £4 however some of the eyeshadows do have slightly chunky glitter. Having said that others are slightly hard but do produce good colour after some time building them up.

Redemption palette iconic 1
This palette was given to me and I was very excited for it, however I haven't used it as much as the others. The palette feels more buttery than the 3 however the eyeshadows are very crumbly so do spill.
Both the palettes 
Are very nice shades however the actual pay off wouldn't get a durable intense look which is what I expected.
Welcome to the pleasuredome
This palette is stunning and well loved it's my first £6 and for that extra £2 you are winning. It comes with 6 matte shades at the bottom that are amazing for a grungy look then at the top it consists of shimmers. I love this palette as you can go for neutral looks on the right and go all out on the left. They also have wonderful pay off so that is a big plus.
( a few)
Run boy run
They say to save the best till last and I certainly have. This palette not only has song lyrics as name of shades and is named the same as a song from the divergent soundtrack it is also an all round gorgeous palette. Both the £6 ones also come with big mirrors which come in handy when on the go 
Overall I really like these palettes however I do think that for an extra £2 you do get far better quality.
