PRODUCTS NOT WORTH THE HYPE

Don't you hate it when you buy something expecting it to be great and end up hating it? Me too. So here are some of the products that I just really didn't get along with. Sorry if this is a bit controversial.
Left to right: Revlon Lip Butter, Sea Salt Spray, Tresemme Dry Shampoo
Revlon Colour Burst Lip Butter; Boots; £7.99; ???
I hear loads about these, every time you watch a make up collection on YouTube you see a few - I've definitely seen one where they have virtually every colour. Honestly, I don't think they're worth the £8. You don't get that much and seeing as they're so sheer I really wouldn't buy a new one. They're very soft but are still packaged like a lipstick meaning that you have to be very careful not to damage it (mine is not looking its best) and I find that it sometimes sets into the lines of my lips. On the plus side, they are moisturising and if applied well look very pretty. If they were half the price I would probably recommend them so if they're ever on offer that would be the time to pick one up.

Toni & Guy Casual Sea Salt Texturising Spray; Boots; £7.49; 200ml
Another thing that so many people love. I don't know if it's my hair type or the way I'm using it (although I have tried such a wide range of techniques that I'm sure I should have cracked it by now) but I just can't get sea salt spray to work for me. This is such a popular product but I really just feel like it makes my hair messy, slightly damp and smell awful. I have thin, fairly straight hair so I would have thought that it would have a big impact but it really doesn't seem to do anything at all. So disappointing - I was looking forward to effortless beachy waves.

Tresemme Instant Refresh Volumising Dry Shampoo; Boots; £5.25; 200ml
This isn't so much hyped as generally well-liked (I've noticed it mentioned in a few hair videos on YouTube) but I honestly hated it from first try. Dry shampoo is such a life saver for my hair and anything volumising is a winner with me but this just didn't deliver on its promises. If anything, my hair looked greasier and I didn't notice any additional volume either. Dove or Batiste is probably a better bet.

Has anyone else tried and hated these products? Or loved them? (Please tell me if I'm just using them all wrong). Let me know in a comment!
