I'm with you on the MSFs (my skin shines too much, on its own), but I love the Dazzleglasses.
I'm even loving the high shimmer of the much-maligned Dazzle lipsticks (though not the pigmentation, but that's another thread).
An almost legendary MAC product that isn't my thing is Parrot eyeshadow.
It was re-released a year or two back, and everyone else seemed to be excitedly squealing, "Parrot is being brought back; I can't wait; I'm going to stock up!"
Since I just don't like bright eyeshadow on me, I was sitting here yawning.

I have never tried to use any of the Paint Pots, but I did try to use Bare Canvas Paint as a base, because everyone was talking about how well it worked, that it was better than Primer Potion.
I tried it for a while, but I finally had to admit to myself that it just doesn't work as well on my uber oily lids as PP does.
I used the Paint tube as a Back to MAC empty, bought another bottle of Primer Potion, and have never looked back.

New ones added to the list:
Stereo Rose MSF - as a matter of fact, I'm not too crazy about any of the MSFs except for Blonde & I rarely use that. I'm not buying anymore MSFs.
Smoke & Diamonds e/s- this looks ashy on me

Dollymix and Peaches blush(NC40-42). Dollymix was too reddish on me and just looked unflattering, and Peaches just didn't show up on my skintone. I also hated zoom lash.

I can imagine how Smoke and Diamonds might look ashy on some, but if it works on your coloring, it works.
On me, NW15, brunette, green eyes, Smoke and Diamonds comes out a lovely medium-to-deep shimmery grayish taupe.
I love it, and use it often.
That said, I absolutely hated Sweet Sienna, which many adore, and compare favorably to Smoke and Diamonds.
However, on me, Sweet Sienna looks like mold, but Smoke and Diamonds is taupe-y gray.
On the strength of its rave reviews, I actually bought, sight unseen, a full size of Sweet Sienna.
I tried it once, and disliked it so much that I offered it to a friend, who has brown eyes.
She loves it, though in my unspoken opinion, it doesn't look that great on her, either.

I like a few of the frost Lipglasses, though for the life of me I can't remember which ones.
However, I've just about completely abandoned the Lipglasses, in favor of the Dazzleglasses. While I do like shine on the lips, I prefer shimmer to frost.
Back to topic: I can't seem to get enthusiastic about Heritage Rouge pigment. Everyone else seems to adore it, but it just makes me look sickly. A friend of mine loves it so much that I gave her a full size jar for Christmas last year.
I, on the other hand, have never worn it out in public at all.

Lustre e/s
Mostly all Green, Blue, Pink, rage, Silver and Grey e/s
Foundations (makes me break out)
Shadesticks (I could NEVER make them work for me)
Lipglasses (They are too sticky and they dry out my lips)
Zoom Lash Mascara (makes my eyes burn so I haven't tried any other Mascaras from MAC)
The "Self-propelling, self-sharpenin" eyebrow pencils.
That's all that I can think of right now...

all paint pot. crease on me
I use Too Faced Shadow Insurance under the PP and that seems to work for me. If I don't use the Primer first, the PP crease for me as well.
