What products do you feel are overrated?

[MzBrownBeauty]

Hello Everyone! I was thinking about how certain products seem to get a lot of hype and develop a cult like following but sometimes these same products don't work for you or you don't like them.

The two products for me that come to mine are :

1. The original NAKED palette. I can honestly say that after purchasing it I don't use it. I can count on one hand how many times I used it. I purchased it while still discovering which eye shadow finishes looked best on me and I'm a matte girl through and through.

2. Mac Fix + spray. I actually like it but its over priced for what it does. I saved my bottle and poured in organic rose water for $7.00 works just as good.

If anyone would like to share their experience with products that didn't live up to your expectations that would be great!

Agree with you. Mac Fix Plus is nothing but some water with a little oil up in there lol I also dislike any type of eyelash extend, eyelash extend mascara, all that mess makes you bald your eyelashes

Some Dior quints ( poorly pigmented ) Chanel cream blushes ( soon discontinued so far I know ) Guerlain quads Benefit lip balms ( Posie, Cha Cha etc.. ) Nars matte mono es ( beautiful but chalky like Outre-mer ) Lancôme new belle mine powder ( dupe of les Beiges ) Bourjois es By Terry products

I so agree with you about the Dior quints. I also have a Dior glittery mono which is just fallout and very little staying power, Urban Decay can actually do those shades perfectly for less. Also, the Dior Radiance Booster Pen did nothing for me.

I recently purchased Evian (two smaller bottles in a pack) for around $14 and I think it's just as good as the fix + Lmbo!! To the bald lashes!

Lack of pigmentation is terrible for such high end brands

1. Colourpop lip products. The lip liner is fantastic but packaging sucks. The middle constantly falls out! The lippie sticks feel thick and I never want to wear them.
2. Tartlette palette. Great color selection but hard to blend.
3. Wet n Wild. For the priceits fine, but some of the palettes are so soft they look muddy and shatter. The blushes don't last until lunch time on me.
4. Chanel lipstick. Basic packaging and not long lasting. I just recently bought my first rouge coco and its beautiful but wears less long than a MAC Cremesheen.
5. Too Faced Melted lipsticks (original shades). I love liquid lipsticks but I wish the finish wasn't so flat on these after they dry down.
6. Lorac Unzipped 1. Beautiful to look at, but the palette alone never quite worked well on me. Maybe on fairer skintones, or when used with other brands' eyeshadows.

Fix+ is just fancy water, but I do like to use it on my brushes to blend out products I'm applying to my face, but it's not a setting spray or anything and it smells odd.

I don't see the fascination with the Neutrogena Makeup Removing Wipes. They are oily feeling. My skin doesn't feel refreshed or clean at all, but quite the opposite.
