This color is singlehandedly the WORST eyeshadow MAC has ever made. I can't get this thing to work worth a damn! However you're right this is a beautiful color in the pan.

i actually just back to mac'ed it two weeks ago...the sales assistant was like ' really, you want to give this back? but you can make it work on a base...', but i just did not want to bother with it anymore

I probably shouldn't have purchased Suite Array collection(eyeshadow suites) waste of money as it was way too chalky and under pigmented for me :(

Big bounce shadows, horrible texture and very bad semi liquid eyeshadow. When M.A.C launches something great like the Liquid Powder it's really wonderful, but when very bad products are launched I wonder if M.A.C is a professional brand ! Pro longwear eyeshadows are great, big bounce was really a complete failure. F if I could rate it !

Mac Soft and Gentle

I've only used this about three times since i brought it in February, really isn't for me plus am not big on highlighters such a shame as it's pretty but will be going to waste in my draw :(
 

For me, it's Myth lipstick.  I'd heard so many people loved it, so without even thinking I bought it.  It looks like I applied a VERY light concealer all over my lips!  It's horrible on my NC30/35 skintone!

Another product for me would have to be "smoked purple" lipstick, i brought it but i've actually never worn it maybe it'll be kept for halloween times.
 

I'm not really digging Shimmermint, but I will use it every now and again just to get it in rotation. I just don't like the fallout and it's pretty sheer. *shrug* I still really like the color, though...so sometimes I will put up with having to baby it. At least I know I won't be buying any more MES any time soon! 

I also regret going paint pot crazy when Posh Paradise came out lol, but having them sell out so quickly made me jump like a bean for them. Fortunately I have a majority NIB preserved in the fridge, and I didn't get BUs, but dang-it I should have just purchased the ones I knew I would use a lot.

I know EXACTLY what you mean about the Posh Paradise PP's!  I have so many of those in my fridge I'm afraid to open so they don't get bad considering the many I have in rotation...  I agree with you that I shouldn't have gotten too crazy for all the fun colors just because they are so pretty and limited edition!  And with the new Pro Palettes they are putting out, I can have several colors in one palette...

I bought glitter...It was pretty but like $20...Thank goodness for the pro discount

A lot of the backups of LE products that I may never get to.  Honestly it takes a long time for me to finish a product, so I should save my money and skip the backups most of the time.  When a new LE is available, however, the makeup addict in me takes over & convinces me to get BUs. 

There are some products, however, like Stereo Rose that I am thankful that I have a backup.

Do you still have it?
 

I rushed out and bought Stylishly Merry, Feminine Edge, and outrageously fun and was not impressed they all went back to nordstrom and I was so psyched for feminine edge

I mentioned the Big Bounce shadows, I should have mentioned " Fire Sign " lipstick ( pretty but not to die for ) or " Mocha " blush. But I am still glad to have them !

Stereo Rose--hot metallic fish scale mess on me and emphasized every pore (and wrinkle)

Budding Love, Saint Germain, Pure Zen, and Japanese Maple.  I've barely used them.

This is me, too. I've been hoarding backups like crazy, but I'll probably never finish the first one.  I've started pulling them out of my stash, and the ones I can bring myself to part with are going to good homes.
