Title says it all. What do you think are the most over and underrated products?
In my opinion...
Overrated: Naked Palettes
Underrated: Wet and Wild Products (especially blushes. Far more pigmented than my MAC Blushes and cost me less than $2.)
I'd also like to know the best deal or bargain you've got on a beauty product.
Last week I ordered 12 full size foundations for $2.95 a bottle.

Underated products: my wet and wild eyeshadows, I chose them over my urban decay eyeshadows.
eyelash curler- seriously makes my eyelashes huge
overrated: the falsies, it made my eyelashes clumpy and super small
eos, waxy and non moisturizing
covergirl products period, I dislike them!

@Calla I was reading on a beauty blog the other day that the NYX Creme blushes were a good dupe for the Stila ones! I have one from Stila and I love it... I think I might get some from NYX now!

Overrated:
- MAC in general
- EOS and Babylips

- Drugstore foundations. I never have any luck with them. They're always oily and just so gross.

- Bh eyeshadow. Seriously it's the worst shadow I've used. It doesn't blend well and is very chalky. I don't get the hype.
Underrated:
- Nyx

- Elf lip exfoliator
- Rimmel Wake Me Up concealer
- Pacifica skincare/body butters
