5 Products You Regret Buying

Mar 5, 2012

1. Dream Mouse in Pink Frosting- I found this on clearance at my local grocery store. I never got around trying this before it was discontinued and I heard great things about it. Sadly the glitter in the blush is just too over powering because I love the consistency of the blush itself.

2. Fit Me Foundation- I used this for weeks before realizing how much my skin hated this product, once I stopped using it my face really cleared up immensely.

3. Bouncy Blush- I guess Maybelline isn't my brand, I thought that these blushes were overrated. There is barely any color payoff and I am very pale and these do not even give me a nice wash of color.

4. Cover Girl Natural Luxe Lipcolor- There was no color payoff with this and does not really have much to offer in moisturizing.

5. Mac Foundation Brush- I bought this very expensive brush and do not use it any longer, I have switched to my Sigma Flat Top and I love it so much, just wish I could get rid of the other one.

1. Maybelline Falsies Mascara - I fell for the hype. I shouldn't have, but I did. And I hate it! It makes my lashes so, sooo clumpy its absolutely ridiculous

2. Physician's Formula POP-Eyes Shimmer Strips Eyeshadow - Normally, I love love LOVE Physician's Formula, and I was dying to try their eyeshadows they had out, but they flopped for me. Big time. Minimal color pay off, and every single color was ridiculously shimmery. That one went back.

3. Revlon Just Bitten Lipstain - Ridiculously drying, applies well with the balm thats attached to it, then it gets patchy and looks horrible!

4.Rimmel Stay Matte Translucent powder - I was loving this product, then my skin decided it didn't love it so much anymore. I broke out in hives all over my face.

5. Covergirl Clean Liquid Makeup - Soooo liquidy! I use it occasionally, but I've found something that I like tons better.

That Revlon Colorstay quad that just came out. I have the Siren quad and holy crap. Revlon's eyeshadow quality is just as crappy as it always has been.

1. I have to agree w/ Nicole again on banning BE products. I have tried not one, but all of their formulas of foundation, and all of them successfully broke me out in a rash and blemishes. That stuff itches something fierce, and the brushes... OMG don't even get me started... Let's just say you're better off buffing in your makeup with a broom.

2. Dior lipglow - EOS lip balms are better... And that's not saying much. =\

3. NARS Orgasm - flame on! Haha... Really, there's just too much sparkle going on there, and NARS blushes broke me out BAD.

4. Coastal Scents 88 pallets and neutral pallet - honestly, garbage. Quantity > quality, and their customer service is terrible! I would never recommend them, and my experience with them scared me straight away from cheap makeup. I proceed with caution now when purchasing cheap stuff that's been hyped now.

5. ELF - anything. Their makeup is such a far miss for me. I actually can tell the difference between MUFE's and ELF's HD powders, and MUFE's has more slip. Call me crazy, but I'm finicky when it comes to textures and finishes. Their non makeup items are decent though, like brushes (for beginners) or the brush holders and belt.

1- Mousse Foundation- it's stupid & slides ridiculously unless u have UBER dry skin i dont see it working for most types.
2- MAC's Eye makeup remover- Not strong enough! mostly takes off eyeshadow, not eyeliner.
3- Bourjois Eyeliner-sooo runny!! when does it dry :S
4- MAC MAscaras- For the $$ you spend you expect it to work BETTER than drugstore.
5- DB Eyeshadows- Just falls straight off. noooo staying powder

omg i have soo many regrets!

1. Urban Decay Surreal Skin cream to powder foundation-, omg is this stuff terrible. The urban decay consultant was at ulta and sucked me into getting this. First off the color selection sucks, second no matter what primer or brush i use the foundation cakes horribly! Since it turns into powder when it hits your skin you can't build coverage because thats when it cakes. The finsh is nice but i get oily within minutes! 8gms of product for $34 is ridiculous..
2. Loreal Voluminous False lashes mascara, worst mascara ever, it clumps and does not define lenghten (at least on my lashes) the brush applicator is so gunky, there are plenty of better Drugstore mascaras than this.
3. The coastal Scents 88 piece palette. Like sumone above said it's garbage. The colors are sooo chalky and they fade no matter what base you use.. skip it.
4. My Mac 129 brush & the 214 smudger brush.- The 129 is sooo Scratchy I just fell for the hype, no matter how many times i wash it the bristles feel like damaged hair and hurt my cheeks, I know use it for bronzer but still for $34 dllrs i expected better, & the 214 irritates my lower lash line also very scratchy
5. The Mac wonder woman quad in valiant-. While the green colors are somewhat pigmented, i feel like the colors dont work together to create a nice look. I just think i could of used those $40 bucks on something else:/...
6. The Mac Mineralize Concealer in NW20- (had had to include this) According to the mac artist this is suppoused to have an 8 hour wear, yea right it fades on me within 3-4 hours and you can start seeing my under eye darkness, also the coverage is very light and i have found that if you want to build coverage with this it will almost cake up and settle into fine lines or expression lines. I dont like it and want to return it!

I bought a blush at Victoria's Secret, it was an impulse buy mainly and I've never been so disappointed with a makeup product in my life! The website show it so much more vibrant and colorful than it really is, like the colors aren't even REMOTELY similar, and it's so shiny that it looks greasy on your face, it's also WAY too pigmented for a blush.

Revlon Custom Eye Mascara, gave me a sty and clumpy
Cover Girl Lash Blast Mascara, didnt like the brush
Maybelline Falsies Mascara, clumpy

Benefit They're Real mascara- loved the actual product but it irritated my eyes so much.
Max Factor lipfinity lasting lip tint- does not last at all, it started to wear off within half an hour of wearing it.
Max Factor False lash effect mascara- I found the wand useless for applying.
Dainty Dolly concealer- I find it too dry to apply and it doesn't blend very well imo.

I have been really lucky with makeup.the only thing that I can think of that I regret buying is loreal colour riche lip balm,it doesnt really condition my lips,but it does leave a nice shimmer on my lips,so I will buy it again.ive been happy with elf makeup so far.I use elf eye lid primer and that works for me.I also use elf zit zapper and it works well.I havent tried elf lip primer and plumber yet,becasue i
I cant find it.as anyone tried it yet?

^omg, I tried those recently and I agree! It just made my lips look greasy...!

Rimmel Color Rush quads. They are not chalky, oh no. They're rock solid, I wouldn't dream going anywhere near them with my brushes. I used a orange stick to scape them into a powder, and I found out the color payoff is just not worth the trouble. However, I mixed one of the colors, a pinkish gold, with some Astor Lycra top coat and it looked great on the nails, especially since the top coat itself has a pinkish/purple hue.
The NYX eyeshadows in Sahara, Suede and Chocolate are chalky and brittle.Suede and Chocolate made my skin look dirty. Sahara is a beautiful color, but that is the only thing this terrible trio has to show for.
The Yves Rocher smoky eye brush - so scratchy, you'd think it was made of twigs! The disappointment I felt knows no bounds, considering so many Yves Rocher products are must haves for me.

I do not like the LA Colors eyeshadows.. they are not pigmented at all and are terrible. Elf's eyelid primer also sucks. I have the Fit Me foundation and it's the first liquid foundation I have ever had, I don't think it's terrible. I really like it, actually. I also have this wetnwild eyeliner that twists and I hate it. It's not waterproof so it runs too much.

1 - Maybelline Baby Lips - feels greasy, not moisturizing, not long lasting (even for a balm)

2 - Garnier BB cream - breaks me out, feels heavy, colour selection sucks

3 - Any mascara with a rubbery and/or oversized wand. I have small eyes and lashes and all these new rubbery and oversized wands are longer than my eyes and impossible to use

4 - GOSH eyeshadow trio, no colour payoff, way overpriced

5 - MAC powerpoint eyeliner in permaplum. Colour payoff sucks, not long wearing, tugs at the lid

1. Benefit Bad Gal Lash - it's a good mascara, but it isn't any better than the Covergirl Lash Blast or Revlon Grow Luscious (exact dupe for it). Which are both half the price.

2. MAC Mineralize Skinfinishes. I have Lighscapade and Porecelain Pink and they are horrible quality.They have no color pay off or pigmentation to them, the shimmer just makes a lot of fall out and is chunky. I hate these, not worth $30 at all.

3. Urban Decay 24/7 Eyeliner - I heard nothing but amazing things about these, so I bought the purple on in Ransom and it didn't glide on easily, had very minimal color pay off and didn't seem to last.

4. Too Faced Primed and Poreless primer - This stuff seems to make my skin more oily and instead of making my makeup last throughout the entire day, it seems to make it cake up.

5. Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizer - I hate this stuff, it makes my skin feel sticky and heavy. I also feel like I tend to break out more when I use it.

1. Revlon Photoready Airbursh Foundation in 010 Vanilla- I was well aware of the particles of glitter in the regular Photoready foundation, but decided to give the Airbrush one a go. Holy disco ball. I am NOT a fan of glitter particles all over my face. Not to mention it is not my shade. Really Revlon, what were you thinking?

2. MAC Studio Fix Fluid in NC 20- Did like it at first, until I realized it does not really blend into my skin at all. I find it moves around all over my face and is greasy no matter if I set it with powder or a setting spray.

3. New Revlon eyeshadow quads in Moonlit and Brazen- Love the colors, but in both quads only 2 out of the 4 eyeshadows are of good quality. It seems as if 2 of the shadows are powdery as all getout and the other 2 are creamy and pigmented.

...ok I can't think of any more at the moment.

Rimmel Lipgloss- The smell and taste killed it for me.
Maybelline Bouncy Blush- It only lasted an hour on my face and I couldn't use it on top of my foundation because it would barely show up.
Loreal Lip Butter- Revlon did a much better job in the pigment department.
Victoria Secret eyeliner pencil- It literally felt like I was rubbing a stick on my top lid.

1. Benefit's High Beam- It's so hard to work with and I feel like I use so much, I really prefer my Nars Illuminator in Cophacabana way better!
2.Smashbox Lip Gloss in 'Pout'- It's a really pretty pale pink and those are usually what I like, but the smell is soooo foul. Usually I can get over an 'off' smell, but this is so over powering I just can't...
3. Mac Blush in 'Tenderling'- It was one of my first Mac blushes and I ordered it off the website so I didn't know what it would truly look like, but it just doesn't suit my skintone/undertone at all. I never find myself reaching for it.
4. Nars Sheer Glow- This doesn't last long on my face at all, even if I use a primer, setting powder, & setting spray it just doesn't last on me. Plus the color range is super yellow :/
5. Benefit Boi-ing Concealer- You get hardly any product and it's around 18 or 20 dollars. Cream concealers aren't my favorite, but I really prefer any other cream concealer over this one. It's claims to be 'industrial strength' but it doesn't even cover a little zit or anything.

1. Bare Mineral face brushes ..for something that is suppose to 'buff' they are way too scratchy. I want to apply makeup, not take off layers of skin.

2. Benefit Benetint ..patchy application & smells too strongly of roses. Not something I want on my lips.

3. Fresh Minerals eye shadow in Wondering Eyes ..hands down the worst eye shadow I've ever worked with. Dry formula, difficult to pick up any colour and then near non-existant colour payoff.

4. LA Colors palettes ..no staying power & had a lid reaction to the bright pink shades.

5. Lancome Juicy Tubes ..way too sticky & way too sweet smelling. Blargh.

Bonus: Stila Smudge Pot in Cobalt Clutch ..too dry and stiff. Very different from the usual formula.

1. A beauty supply store false eye lashes. I bought them because they were cheaper and they do give my eyes a different look, but they are nothing like the brand name ones.

2. Most inexpensive palette eye shadows. They don't stay on long enough and I seem to only be able to use a few colors. A waste of money!

3. Maybelline Make-Up Remover, it's too oily. Most of the Maybelline products are disappointing to me.

4. Ruby Kisses nail polish. I bought a color that was hot pink in the bottle, but when I put it on and it dried it turned orange.

5. St. Ive's lotion. The smell is too strong and it irritated my skin.

When a new makeup product comes out.I usually check this website for reviews.but now I also goggle the product and look for reviews that way.

Raize D.

I have over $4000 dollars worth of makeup but I do not regret a lot of them I do regret some though and here they go:
1. 24/7 Urband Decay Pencil eyeliner: Um no, it just doesn't stay on. I am a religious gel and pen person.
2. ELF Color Palette: eyeshadow is worth the money if it's good quality. I should have known better
3. Nars single eyeshadow that I seriously overpaid for and barely use. It is better to buy palettes. More bang for your buck
4. Sephora Brand eyeshadows: again me trying to be a bargain shopper when it comes to makeup. Big fail.
5. ELF Highlighter. I am a tan latina that stuff made me look 10x paler smh
