I didn't even know lash cards existed until now, well that is really a whole new level of pointlessness! Hahaha I also totally agree with you girls who posted about those all-in-one palette things - having a lipgloss next to an eyeshadow all covered in powder is disgusting

Eye lash primer....I tried the Urban Decay one and it was horrible. It didn't even do anything for my lashes like it's suppose to...it just made them white and clumpy, then when I applied mascara over it, it looked much worse than it would have if I didn't even use a primer!

i totally agree with everyone about the sponge tip applicators and the lip gloss palettes. i got a sephora palette one christmas that had the lipgloss and the quality was comparable to the kiddie lip compacts you can get at a toy store. also i have ud heavy metal glitter liner in spandex. the brush applicator does not pick up any product. its so pointless.i have to go over 3 times to get some visible product.

also, i think those stencils for eyeshadow and press-on eyeshadows are pointless. everyone's eyes are different so it will not come out the same or as shown on packaging or as advertised. it's supposed to make life easier but if you really want to look good you need to exert a little effort. also, that's why there is a huge online makeup community to help out makeup newbies. just saying. lol.

@Cassandra M.--eyelash primers can be useful for some people--however, I only found out later that you are supposed to let them completely dry before applying mascara, otherwise they mix and produce KAKI.


Those eyebrow stencils are ridiculous. Who created these products? Who OKed them? I actually do use lash cards for my bottom lashes--except I get mine for free with my monthly Birchbox haha Those little cards are so useful!

Those peel-on eyeshadows.
1. They look hideous, though I've only seen photoshopped ads; I'm curious to see how it looks after someone casually uses them
2. Detracts from building skill and creativity when applying makeup. If you wan't zebra print eyes so badly, learn how to draw them yourself so it's suitable for your face imo

I basically agree with everything else people have mentioned..
