I tried 2 beauty products created by Harry Styles, and I wouldn't buy either of them again

Harry Styles recently launched a line of beauty products that includes nail polish and skin care.
I tried the brand's face serum and dual-use pen, which includes a lip oil and eye treatment.

Harry Styles launched his beauty brand Pleasing in November.

I tried both of the brand's skin-care products. First, there's the $30 Pleasing Pen that includes two different serums.

The eye serum in particular is described as "potent" with the ability to refresh tired eyes, but I didn't find that to be true.

I had higher hopes for the lip oil, but it also let me down.

Next, I tried the $35 Pearlescent Illuminating Serum.

The serum retails for $35, and is said to be moisturizing and illuminating.Amanda Krause/Insider

I liked this product a lot better than the Pleasing Pen, but I'm not sure it's worth $35.

There are things to appreciate about Styles' beauty brand, but I'm not sure I'd buy even the better product of the two I tried again.

I'm not a fan of the products I tried, but I respect what Harry Styles is working towards.Amanda Krause/Insider
