Re: Popular MAC products everyone seems to love but you?

i like studio fix powder, but studio fix fluid sucks balls!! lol

Re: Popular MAC products everyone seems to love but you?

Parfait Amour and Steamy e/s... they look awful on me.

Shadesticks, yeah... I bought one and it's sitting drying up in my case. Ergh.

I dunno if I'm loving the mineralize blush duos atm. I bought Rhapsody in Two and I want to like it but I have to keep packing the color on (trying to use it as a cheek highlight) and I'm just not getting the wow factor.

Re: Popular MAC products everyone seems to love but you?

I take back what I said about Fluidlines, but they require patience.

I'm still not a huge fan of paintpots, since they require me to use UDPP underneath them. The frost ones I really don't like. I really wish MAC would bring back the paints.

Adding to the list, Beauty Powder Blushes - I just don't get them.

Re: Popular MAC products everyone seems to love but you?

We apparently have the same problems. But just in case you wanted to check it out, Kat Von D's Tattoo Liner in Trooper is my HG liner. It's a pen liner, and works amazing, and is one of the few items that doesn't smear.

Re: Popular MAC products everyone seems to love but you?

Dark Soul pigment
Prrr lipglass
Amber Lights
dazzleglasses
217 brush

Dark Soul-- every time I've tried to use this, it's a complete mess and I hate the texture of this one. I'll stick with Black Tied or something similar.

Prrr-- pretty in the tube, awful on me.

Amber Lights-- makes me look like I belong in the Thriller video. I look like Death warmed over and tired to boot.

Dazzleglasses-- not enough product for the price and I like the texture of lipglasses/lustreglasses better.

217 brush-- I have tried to make this work for me for blending out the crease and such but now it's strictly my p/p or cream product applying brush. And not even all the time.

Re: Popular MAC products everyone seems to love but you?

Cremesheen lipsticks don't work on me at all, they enhance every bit of dryness in my lips.
Also, I didn't like Tempting e/s at all.

Re: Popular MAC products everyone seems to love but you?

Shadesticks (they are not blendable, dont care what people say; I have broken 2 and they crease like crazy)
Paints (drier than shadesticks, dont like consistencyand no color range)
Longwear products like prolongwear lip glosses (too drying on lips)
All Mascaras (make my eyes water and the smell is horrible, way too strong)
Liquidlast liners (hate how it takes effort for them to come off and they sting my eyes)
MSFs (too messy, too shimmery)

Re: Popular MAC products everyone seems to love but you?

MSF's ( MSF natural is nice though) (i am going back 2 mac my gold deposit MSF)

chrome yellow e/s-not very pigmented

studio fix fluid- can we say, invasion of pimples!!

twinks e/s- its ok, nice color but i dont really like it...

Re: Popular MAC products everyone seems to love but you?

Flame if you must but Ripe Peach. I just don't get it.

Re: Popular MAC products everyone seems to love but you?

My 187 brush. For me it's just so-so. I find it hard to apply liquid foundation with (especially round the nose) & usually end up blending with my fingers in the end. And for pigmented blush, I have my 131.

Re: Popular MAC products everyone seems to love but you?

MSFs and Dazzleglasses mostly. Don't get it at all. Also Creme d'Nude, Myth, all those super-nude lips. Bleeeeee.

Re: Popular MAC products everyone seems to love but you?

Shroom to be fair, I do like it for the inner tear duct but that's all. I don't understand how people use it to highlight it's so shimmery even with a light hand

Re: Popular MAC products everyone seems to love but you?

ohh thanks! i shall give that a look once i get the chance

oh and amber lights.. jeez this shadow looks terrible on me. :/

Re: Popular MAC products everyone seems to love but you?

Beige-ing shadestick...
I bought it to use as a primer, and it seemed ok at first but it just creases on my eyelid like everything else. Then I discovered UDPP and now its HG status for me. Haven't used the shadestick since.

Re: Popular MAC products everyone seems to love but you?

Paints! I bought one once and it has been the only MAC product I have ever returned

Re: Popular MAC products everyone seems to love but you?

Set of brushes. I am firmly sure that the quality is not even comparable to the normal size brushes!

Re: Popular MAC products everyone seems to love but you?

My top 10 overrated items
1. Beigeing shadestick, its hard and barely shows on my skin..
2. Tempting, pretty but glittery
3. Satin Taupe, makes me look sick and tired. Not flattering
4. Dazzleglasses. Goopy, glittery, and expensive.
5. Carbon. It's not black enough for me
6. Vanilla e/s
7. MSF's. Folks go bananas over these but i just don't see the appeal.
8. fluidlines. They flake off mid day for me, i don't feel i always need to put shadow on top.
9. Any MAC mascara
10. The mattes (excluding the pro shades)

Re: Popular MAC products everyone seems to love but you?

-Petticoat & Northern Light MSFs
- All That Glitters e/s
- Viva Glam V l/g

Re: Popular MAC products everyone seems to love but you?

I'm climbing onboard the rash train on this one! So glad I'm not the only one. Anytime I've told an MUA, they've looked at me like I was nuts.

I can't stand:
- shadesticks: dry, unblendable, crease like beasts
- paint pots: just purchased my first one this week and can't say enough bad things about it
- MSFs: not only do they all look semi the same on, but they're so freaking shimmery that I have to apply them as a highlight with an eyeshadow brush to keep from looking like a disco ball

Okay, flame away:
I can't STAND pigments! I find them messy, a pain in the butt to work with, expensive (maybe 1/3 of a pigment would last me a lifetime), and muddy on my eyelids. I just do not get them!

Re: Popular MAC products everyone seems to love but you?

dazzleglasses - where to begin? super sticky, glitter transfers and migrates all over the face, only half the tube is full...
prep & prime - rash-galore, I'm probably sensitive to half the ingredients in p&p
belightful - i don't get how some people can use this as a setting/blotting powder its nothing but chunks of glitter
sketch e/s - it just doesn't work with me.

Re: Popular MAC products everyone seems to love but you?

Underage Lipglass...I gave mine to a friend, it just isn't my cup of tea at all...to sticky and gloopy, the colour settles into any lines on your lips...and the colour is so easily duped, it's not as amazing as I thought it would be, given it's popularity!

Re: Popular MAC products everyone seems to love but you?

Paintpots
Shadesticks

They just don't work for me.

Re: Popular MAC products everyone seems to love but you?

i thought i was the only one that didnt like dazzleglasses! they look great in the tube, but i just couldnt stand all the crunching from the glitter plus the stickiness. also, i have the same problem with lipgelees. i have preppy from the lillyland collection. it looks so cute in the tube but again the crunching and the glitter is just too much for me.

Re: Popular MAC products everyone seems to love but you?

Blunt blush, Peaches, and Zoomlash

Re: Popular MAC products everyone seems to love but you?

• Shadesticks
• MSFs
• Parfait Amour
• Beauty Marked
• Shadowy Lady

Generally any plummy/yellow undertoned purple eyeshadows.

Re: Popular MAC products everyone seems to love but you?

PRRR lipglass
Too frosty and it looks weird with my pigmented lips.

Re: Popular MAC products everyone seems to love but you?

I second this! But lipglasses in general. They are so sticky and everytime I walk out of the house I get a lip full of hair. How do people love lipglasses? It's so impractical IMHO.. or maybe it's just Toronto wind

Re: Popular MAC products everyone seems to love but you?

Most of the time I just don't get the hype over products... I think a lot of people just jump on bandwagons of loving something because they see everyone else doing it. I wish I had a crystal ball to predict these things so I could buy up a ton of the product and then resell at ridiculous prices to the fangirls, LOL! Can we say Ripe Peach anybody?!

I'm not the biggest fans of pigments, like someone said earlier... hard to work with, fallout, etc. I think pressing would solve my issue, though. I still buy some here and there that are pretty. Melon pigment was a huge disappointment for me, color was just bland once applied.

That's all I can think of for now... I'm really pleased with paint pots, most all my shadows, etc.

Re: Popular MAC products everyone seems to love but you?

MSF's. They dry my skin out. I have crazy dry and sensitive skin.

Re: Popular MAC products everyone seems to love but you?

Myth l/s - looks terrible on me
Frost finish lipsticks - bleh I feel like I should be heading to bingo straight from church with most of these.
Paint Pots - in order to use them I have to put on TFSI and Bare Canvas paint in order to keep it from creasing. Not worth the effort.
