Re: What Mac products do you wish you didn't rush buy..

All of the Cool Heat shadows except Solar White and Climate Blue.

The Neo Sci-Fi eyeshadows (minus Expensive Pink).....Moonbathe was better, IMO.

Fafi Eyes 1 and 2. Waste of money!!!......you know what? Also the lippies! I should have passed on the whole collection.

Some of the Mineralize blushes. I didn't need ALL of them.

Pen N Pink e/s....just a mess.

Honesty e/s and Honey Lust e/s

Re: What Mac products do you wish you didn't rush buy..

187. Any powder brush works better for picking up pressed and/or loose powder foundation.

Re: What Mac products do you wish you didn't rush buy..

woodwinked!

Re: What Mac products do you wish you didn't rush buy..

I think the quads and possibly the lipglass. Before I knew CCO had them, I purchased one LE quad and a few lipglass. Heading over to CCO, if I just wait a little bit more, I could have purchased these discounted. ah well. lesson learned. =)

Re: What Mac products do you wish you didn't rush buy..

I second the MAC pinks e/s purchases. I hardly use them, but wont get rid of them, lol

Re: What Mac products do you wish you didn't rush buy..

oak lip liner. tryna get the nude lip & i knew when i bought it i wasnt gonna like it but i was pressed 2 buy something from mac that day & i just bought anything. that was real STOOPID!!!! i also bought red she said lipstick & 3 eyeshadows-phloof, freshwater & nocturnelle.

Re: What Mac products do you wish you didn't rush buy..

parfait amour (sp?)
it barely even shows up, it's very sheer even with an eyeshadow base

Re: What Mac products do you wish you didn't rush buy..

select tint and moistureblend foundation... they're terrible.

Re: What Mac products do you wish you didn't rush buy..

Monogram Sheerspark Powders. Exspensive and they do nothhing. I cry everytime I look at them. im keeping them in the packaging to sell on ebay in three years time.

Re: What Mac products do you wish you didn't rush buy..

I just bought cherry blossom lipglass and don't even really like it-it is ok but just ok. I also regret buying some of the Loreal HIP e/s but they aren't as much $$$ so it's not as bad!

Re: What Mac products do you wish you didn't rush buy..

Not So Innocent lipstick from the Fafi collection. The color somehow looks very weird on my lips.

Re: What Mac products do you wish you didn't rush buy..

Mac select spf, I hate it

Re: What Mac products do you wish you didn't rush buy..

Strobe lip conditioner! They smell and taste like plastic.

Re: What Mac products do you wish you didn't rush buy..

im such a noob, i wsh i never rushed to buy the two holiday pallets this year... i got the warm and classic eyes... if i could i would trade those for the cool eyes pallet

Re: What Mac products do you wish you didn't rush buy..

I regret buying silver dusk loose powder.. I can't find a good way to use it and it is so big in its cup, sometimes I get the impression that it is laughing at me!

Re: What Mac products do you wish you didn't rush buy..

Probably any of the beauty powders. They have no color pay off whatsoever!

Re: What Mac products do you wish you didn't rush buy..

^^ Agree.. and I bought two... TWO! Alpha Girls from Heatherette.

Why?

Re: What Mac products do you wish you didn't rush buy..

Ditto that. I hate Alpha Girl...I honestly see NO difference at all!

Re: What Mac products do you wish you didn't rush buy..

Maybe it as to do with skin tones and undertones for the Alpha Girl BP cause I'm still in love with it, I use it as a blush and allover powder and nothing so far surpassed it for me. (I'm nc15-20 tho)

As for the products I wish I didn't rush buy:
- All the MES with glitters that I bought (my first purchases from MAC) I never use them: glitter fall outs !!! I have like 5
Family Silver: wow.... those 2 gray are what? one shade darker then the other!? enough said on that. Now I know I can't expect as much payoff with MES as I see in the pans.

- Dazzleglass / Lip glass.... don't throw rock please but with the quality and quantity you get for the price, well I just love the Chanel Lèvres Scintillantes (glossimer) and now the even better Aqualumiere. They are non sticky, some shades are plainly awesome, 30$ but 5,5g. (The Aqualumière are silk soft and non sticky, colors looks deep and shiny) And I hate when I feel the glitters in a gloss, why the hell don't MAC put finer glitters in the Dazzleglass with the price they ask per gram ? I swear that even with Astral (104) witch is a only glitter glossimer, you can't feel any of them, not at all.


Other things I bought from MAC I absolutely love, particularly the pigments; they are what got me addicted to makeup and MAC.

PS: For the Heatherette BP if you don't like the shade you can put a MSF or an other BP or something with the same frame. Someone made a video on youtube: you can easily interchange them, so you'll keep and use the beautiful bright pink packaging

Re: What Mac products do you wish you didn't rush buy..

sunset b the pink shadow from starflash last year. i think i've used it all of 4-5 times because pinks really don't suit me. or at least i haven't found a way of making it work for myself yet!

Re: What Mac products do you wish you didn't rush buy..

Macroviolet fluidline. The color is a hot mess. It goes on too sheer so when I try to build it up, it sort of clumps upon itself and looks terrible!

Actually, all Fluidlines. I don't hate the product itself but I just suck at using them so they just sit there, unused in my drawer. Also, it smudges on me, so I have to set with a powder eyeshadow...if I'm going to do that, I might as well use a more user-friendly pencil liner + powder eyeshadow combination.

Re: What Mac products do you wish you didn't rush buy..

newly minted...because no matter which base ive used under it throughout the day the color fades...its not blendable, its to chalky! and even patting it on for the lid area--it will fade within the next hour! its the only mac eyeshadow that is disobedient lol unless i got a bad one!

Re: What Mac products do you wish you didn't rush buy..

heyy try using a BLACK base!

Re: What Mac products do you wish you didn't rush buy..

I regretted buying merrilly blush. Everyone was raving about it and just had to buy it without swatching for myself. I bought 2 of them,thinking it was going to be my go to blush. No matter how light of hand i used to apply this blush i look like a tomato or someone threw marinara sauce on my face. I looked a hot mess.

Re: What Mac products do you wish you didn't rush buy..

Honestly as I look back my whole collection. I would by things compulsively. I have so many dupes that I could have saved my money on. A lot of drugstore brands have came up (with the exception of foundation/concealer in my case). One day Im gonna sell my whole collection. And the CCO has almost everything I have bought which just makes me pissed.

Re: What Mac products do you wish you didn't rush buy..

i rushed into it and bought myth without even trying it. i had heard so many good things about it being the best nude lipstick mac makes and blah blah.

i cannot even express how much i hate this lipstick. it looks like i have concealer on my lips. i've even tried it with every lipgloss, lipglass, other lipstick over it and i cannot make it work. and its like i can't swap it or give it away or throw it away. i feel it has defeated me and i must keep it cause one day i will find a proper use for it. i will.

Re: What Mac products do you wish you didn't rush buy..

Revved-Up pigment... I bought it just because I was excited that my counter had pigments but I have't really used it :s

Re: What Mac products do you wish you didn't rush buy..

Northernlights msf- metalic sheen city.. ewww
Colour forms palette- cool eyes
Lollipop loving lipstick.. cute packaging but i feel it looks weird on me... wil use it a few more times and see if I still like it..


Non Mac:
Chanel Vitalumiere- only becoz stupid MA gave me a pink foundation when my skin tone is yellowish.. n she wouldnt take it back.. grrr
Bobbi brown gel eyeliner.. doesnt go on smooth like fluidline.. spoils my brushes.. and irritates my eyes as I wear contact lens..
