I can't get blues to work for me but I always seem to buy them after seeing looks online, thinking I can make them work. not so far

Hated:
All of the Cool Heat blues
Electric Eel
Bang on Blue
Clarity
Beautiful Iris (can't make it work for me)
Haunting
Beauty Marked (was not able to apply properly but I will try again- still have hope)
Nanogold (was ok, but if I apply too much it becomes a gross pink glitter mess)
Artifact paint pot (not a shadow but it made me look sick and evil)
Bright Future (poor color payoff for me)
Vibrant Grape (didnt look so good on me and poor color payoff)
In the Gallery Quad (perhaps I'm just not a purple gal either)

No, I LOVE Trax!! It does have to be packed on a little to get the true payoff, but it's so yummy in the outer v with a wash of gold all over the lid!

Oh, I have to agree with this.

The gold pearl is hardly visible in the pot, but when you put it on, it's more gold than seafoam green. It looked decent over NYX Horse Raddish pencil, but I'll have to do it again because I tried it pretty halfheartedly. I was really disappointed in Warm Chill, but I haven't given up yet! My quest for a seafoam green (not aqua) shadow continues!!

Trax
Newly Minted
Vex
Yogurt (is this REALLY a color??)
Zeal

I rarely use club but I think I'll experiment with some of the ideas here - like putting it over Blackground p/p or see what else I can come up with.

Currently it's Crest the Wave...doesn't come out very yellow, but it does come out a light yellow. And trying to build it up = chalk. I worked the heck out of it today and I made it work - actually got lots of compliments on it. I still don't like it.

yep i agree about warm chill too! looks lovely in the pan but on me it doesn't really show up at all. sometimes i've even used it as a highlight because it's so freaking pale!!!

Beauty Marked was so disappointing. I wanted NARS Night Fever but it was LE, so I decided to get Beauty Marked because I heard it was a dupe. It is terrible.

violent grape looks like a bruise on me, and night manoevres is the bruise a few days later... sweet lust is so pretty in the pan but I have no idea what to do with it. I actually like gleam though!

i hate suspicion! it's not at all how it's described, it's supposed to be black with gold specks WHERE are the gold specks?! it looks like a dark muddy brown, i found a real black eyeshadow with real gold flecks with amazing pigmentation and amazing gold glitter by ruby cosmetics, what i expected suspicion to be. i dont like forgery, please dont kill me guys!!! but i just cant get it to adhere its frustrating so i use white frost instead!

I love Trax! I think the color is great, not the best payoff but its not that bad I guess.
One I wish I never bought is Honesty. I am NC20 and it still hardly shows up on me, when you try to blend it with other colors it disappears and it causes SO MUCH FALLOUT!

The more people I see that hate Trax, the more I want to try it... because I like some of the other hated eyeshadows.

I had a MUA recommend it to me at MAC and I said "No way, I've heard it's terrible" and she got really insulted

Whoops.

I'm still glaring at Honesty Lust in my palette, haha. Such a glitter bomb.

I WAS going to say Beauty Marked was my most hated, but I was able to get it to work into a Halloween look (I was a vampire this year). Now I guess I can call it 'most disappointing' because I would have loved it more if it actually provided the color that it looks like in the pan.

stately black. It looks so gorgeous in the pan, but it has like NO colour pay-off, really. I just put it on top of my eyeliner now, so I can you use it anyway =(
