The ud naked palettes soo overrated and overpriced if you ask me!, the steiletto/pointy nails or whatever they're called, yuck! eos chapstick- they're the worst chapstick I've ever used! And the covergirl 3-in-1 foundation, i'm so sick of hearing so many people talk about how good it is, this foundation is terrible I regret ever buying it, it was a complete waste of money!

Almost everything Mac and Urban Decay. They're not that good, and like any other drug store company, sometimes even worse.

I agree with Madison, I hate the small bristles on the The Rocket. Makes it impossible to do the bottom lashes.

Thing is though drug store lipsticks don't always last an hour where as mac lipsticks last like 5 or so hours on me.

I just thought about my biggest pet peeve and had to share it because I see it on here so much- full brows...okay I like full eyebrows, but there is a HUGE difference between full (meaning no sparse hairs, or spots where your skin shows thru, and just filling in where your eyebrows natrually grow in) and thick huge squared catepillers, looking like they're drawn in with a huge sharpie with the sharp corners, and are soooo close together so it looks like an almost uni-brow is NOT cute! Do you agree? I don't know how many people I see on here, and when I'm out and about- who have taken this trend wayyyyyyy too far and it's gotten disgustingly out of hand. It makes me so grossed out to see people's eyebrows that are terrible like that, like what are you thinking?!?! what does everyone else think about this full/thick/massive eyebrow trend?? (sorry I had to rage a little there, I really had to get that one out) :)

If you're going for a certain look, those full brows can be stunning. But everyone has to know what works for them. I don't intend to sound mean, but not everyone looks the like the models in the magazines... You've GOT to know what works for you individually. That being said, I don't really think anythings overrated, it's all a matter of what trends work for different people.

@Amanda I've tried the full brow once, totally not for me. I like my eyebrows just the way they are. I'm quite the green jellybean when I see ladies pulling it off though. I think it's stunning! However, I agree the E.O.S balms are a bit overrated; I find they make my lips more chapped than ever before. Another is the M.A.C Paint Pot. I still use it, but it really sucks. It creases like a mother and I don't even know why I still bother -_-' probably for how overpriced it was

Smashbox photofinish primer sucks.. so many of the youtube gurus recommended it.. and it is too watery and changes the color of my skin so it doesn't match my foundation anymore and it doesn't work like a primer! terrible buy.

Mollie- you should try Monistats chafing relief powder gel- it's similar ingredients to smashbox but not at all watery- this is more silicone and silky smooth on your skin. Also completely clear and I use it everyday it makes my foundation go on so much smoother and more flawless as well as prevent it from ever looking cakey because this moisturizes and replenishes the dry patches on my skin. I would highly recommend you picking it up from Walmart- it's $5 and I promise you will love it!
Ashley- completely agree- there is a HUGE difference in full brows and thick rediculously close together squared off brows. I will post some pictures of excactly what I'm talking about so everyone understands, I don't mean any disrespect by it but brows are so important and making them so full and thick is trendy but can close your face up if you have small features and then these huge brows you know? I love Mac products but I agree with you on the creasing of the paint pot- I think it works differently on different skin- like my friend has more oily skin and it works way better for her than for me and I have normal to dry skin so maybe it's just too heavy and thick that's why it creases - could be a million reasons why... April 25th is the Mac baking beauties weekend show by my house and I can't wait to go get some products! I'm dying for the macs fix plus!!
