zhandra rhodes (sp? whatever) lipstick.

It's PINK.
Not pink in an "awww she just got kissed furiously" sort of way either.
Pink as in..."oh my god that poor girl painted her lips with cotton candy."

I'm debating selling it or leaving it alone as a reminder of buying something for sheer novelty.

I kind of wish that I hadn't bought Patternmaker Warm Eyes. Many of the colours just don't seem to have strong pigmentation.

I see a lot of dislike for velvets on Spektra, and I think a well moisturized lid and a sponge brush make these shadows rock (love, love, love 'em).

I'm not mad about that Passionate, either. I got caught up in the excitement, and I loved all the other colours (I got two Beauty Sleep!). But that one makes me look abused. Seriously.

Shimpagne MSF--it looks ashy on me.
Shooting Star MSF--it's too dark and doesn't compliment or enhance my complexion at all.

I was trying to use these as a highlighter and bronzer but they don't work well w/my skin.Nonetheless, I'm still gonna find a way to work w/these MSFs.

Purple Haze eyeshadow. Looks awful on me, even though i tested it in the store. I just cant get it to look anything close to purple on me. Very dull.

Waternymph e/s from Lure... I haven't worn it more than twice since getting it. It's too bright for my taste.

Re: What Mac products do you wish you didn't rush buy..
I bought purple haze e/s, and have not been able to get it to look right on me. It looked unreal when it was tested on my hand, but i cannot get the colour to look the same on me when i try myself. Although i have just done an order for some mac brushes, so im hoping they may help me to apply it better!

Oops. ive already written this!!! I must really not like the colour!!

Re: What Mac products do you wish you didn't rush buy..
*Holiday 06 Warm eyes palette - I don't know how to make a couple of the shades work,and the ones I like most (Woodwinked and Embark) are permanent. Oh well.
*Trax. I like it and it works well on me, I just never really have an occasion for it since I go to school full time and am too lazy to do a purple eye at 8am.

For anybody who complains about Purple Haze e/s: the best thing that works for me to apply it is the good old sponge tip. It hardly ever applies unevelny, when I pat the e/s on with the sponge tip; and in the rare occasions that I see an uneven spot, I correct it with a brush. BTW, thatīs my tip for everyone that complains about matte and velvet finishes, which are my favorites - Iīm such a matte worshipper...If it worked for me, it might work for you girls.

MSF in Light (and I bought 2), my skin becomes SUPER oily 30 minutes after I applied it and I discovered I'm alergic to MAC Studio Mists.

Re: What Mac products do you wish you didn't rush buy..
Lavender sky from culture bloom. Its way to bright for my taste... It screams " BRIGHT LAVENDER PINK! "... I feel crazy wearing it... Its ok in the crease though...

Slip pink: from lingerie or that velvet collection I forgot the name from... Tha color is sooooo DULL... its horrible, give pink eye and the gold shimmer doest even show, unless it fell on your cheeks... If you want a real beautifull dirty pink with gold shimmer, run and get Flamingo from NYX, that color is amazing, its everything slip pink should of been...

Print: Too dark on me, a lil' too chalky...

Melton mauve: hello pink eye...

fluidlines, Im too lazy in the morning to take a brush and take time to aply this... so I never use it!

Re: What Mac products do you wish you didn't rush buy..
Well, I just got Gorgeous Gold e/s, and I haven't used it but once. It appears like a greenish color on my lids, and I just can't figure out what to do with it.

It was recommended by the lovely ladies of Specktra, and they said it's versatile, but it's just not working for me.
