Worst of 2014
- Thread starter Naynadine
- Start date
OCC Tint Tinted Moisturizer - The texture was horrible for me, not to mention the shade I bought (R0) was all sorts of wrong.

I think fantany of flowers lipsticks for me Kinda rocky horror lipsticks the packaging kinda saved it some
My list:
Powders
YSL Souffle - too shimmery, feels a little dry. Doesn't even out my skintone, no soft focus effect at all, nada.
Lipsticks
MAC Woodrose - love the shade, but it's more drying than any other Lustre I have
Eyeshadows
Bare Minerals BB 5in1 - chunky shimmer particles and it made my lids feel dry and paperlike
Blushes
MAC Fun Ending - it was something about the finish that I didn't like on my skin
Concealers
Bobbi Brown Concealer
Bobbi Brown Corrector - both a dry cakey mess on me
That's all I can think of for now, I might add more.

Kat von D lippies(SO DRYING UGH), kat von d mascara, MAC fantasy of flowers lippies, MAC lip pencils(extremely hard), Too Face melt lippies, Nails Inc nail polish,...will update as I remember....
Lipsticks
- Bobbi Brown Salmon Lipstick (I loved the color, but it had a horrible scent of burning plastic, faded within minutes leaving a ring around my mouth, super drying and it made my lips peel. I bought it on a Saturday and returned it on a Monday!!! It is by far the worst lipstick I have ever tried. Now I'm really put off by Bobbi Brown lipsticks.)
- YSL Peach Passion Rouge Volupte Lipstick (Way more pink than peach and settles into lip lines)
Correctors
- Clinique Even Better Eyes Dark Circle Corrector (doesn't correct or conceal and the cooling tip warms up almost immediately)
Eyeshadows
- MAC Deep Fixation (I love the color and the first two times I used it, it seemed okay just a little thin, I even wanted to get a back up, but after that it has been awful it has A TON of fall out. I have to clean up under my eyes afterwards and throughout the day. I really want to make it work... maybe a 242 with some Fix+)
I'm overall pretty glad that only four products ended up being misses for me. Hopefully 2015 will not have any misses!!!

omg I have plenty...
I think the Becca highlights for me... (I know some people love them but they are too dry for me, especially the holiday one yuck)
OCC loose pigments.. ugh... oh no girl...
Benefit Big Easy... yuck
Those metallic liquid liners by KVD... What a mess, does nobody test these things?
I think those are my worse picks from this year.....

Ugh my list includes:
Too Faced Everything Nice Set- about 6 of my shades were dry as hell so not worth the $56
Maya Mia Palette: Some shades are pretty but the peach and aqua blue shade have no pigmentation

Girl I almost flipped out! I thought you were talking about last year's holiday set from Too Faced. I'm glad have skipped this year's. This only makes me feel great that I did.

Are you taking about the ones that just came out? The creamy mattes? If so what color did you keep?

MAC's Aphrodite's Shell ED Bronzer. It looks beautiful in the pan, but it's very orange on me. Not that that's too much of a problem, since I need about 10 swipes just to get some noticeable colour on my (NW5-10) face. I've only kept it because the packaging is pretty and eventually I'll get around to depotting it and putting something I'll actually use in there.
The NARSissist palette was a let down. It's ok, I do use some shades regularly, but I guess I was just expecting a lot more.
Marc Jacobs Parisienne palette was another let down. Again, it's not awful, just very average for the price. My fault for buying without seeing any swatches.

Not much - I've been very happy with almost everything I bought this year 
MAC Dodgy Girl - just can't quite love this like I want to. I prefer the colour of the stain it leaves! Revlon Matt Balm in Shameless - another purple that doesn't work on me Chantecaille Faux Cils mascara - super flaky on me. Luckily this was a sample

My list on worst is more about stuff I bought that's either LE, discontinued, and permanent.
I'm surprised about Dodgy Girl being on the list.
If anyone wants to get swap away of sell Dodgy Girl, feel free to pm me.
- Mac Sunset Beach blush from Proenza Schuler. (I had to scrape a bit in order to use it because at first it felt like my brush and fingers were touching plastic instead of powder. It works fine now, but when you buy a $30 or higher blush you expect quality.
)
- MAYBELLINE nude lipsticks in 910 and 920 (910 was too pale on me and 920 was too dark. It didn't help that these were a blind buy because there weren't swatches and reviews at first.)
- Revlon matte balm in Complex and Shameless (Complex is way too dark and not the kind of nude lipstick that works for me. Shameless is almost an exact dupe of MAC Strong Woman on me, so if you missed out on Strong Woman then Shameless is your inexpensive dupe.)
- MAYBELLINE color tattoo in Audacious Asphalt (I bought this shortly when it was discontinued, and was so disappointed. It doesn't blend easily like other color tattoos, and it creases a bit even with primer. It's a darn shame because I love colors like that.)
- L'Oreal Privee nude lipsticks in J.lo and Julianne (The colors and finish on both are excellent, but the scent is one of the worst of all the lipsticks that I've tried. It smells like old lady soap or like a very stale version of Guerlain Insolence perfume but for lips.)
- MAYBELLINE Fit concealer in 15 Fair (It dries down too fast, but at least it doesn't crease. The color is one shade lighter than my skin tone, and I prefer concealers that match my skin tone.)
- Kat Von D Studded Kiss lipsticks (I bought Luv and returned it the next day. The liquid version of Luv is a million times better! I wanted to give the Studded lipsticks a chance because my previous experience with KVD lipsticks was that they were too drying. This version of lipsticks made the drying worse, like wtf is up with that! It made me stray away from the line. )
- MAC Punk Couture lipstick (I loved it at first because of the unique color, and dare I say that I got a little too hyped up about it when it came out, but it's so patchy. I have Sin and Instigator and both apply fine despite Sin being more true to the matte finish. It doesn't help that I can't use it much unless it's for Halloween or at late night. I'm trying to find ways to use it as a color mixer, but if it doesn't work out then it will go on the Clearance Bin.)
- MAC Hoop lipstick (It's a great matte, but the color was a little lackluster. I guess I had higher expectations about the color coughmorepinkcough, but I'll still keep it as a substitute for Haute Altitude once I finish with it. Having that color along with Haute Altitude, and Revlon Elusive matte balm ultimately made me skip MAC Nouvelle Vogue.)
I'm surprised about Dodgy Girl being on the list.

LOL it's not as though I hate it, just of all the lippies I bought this year it's one of the last ones I think to wear, and I usually end up putting a gloss over it after a couple of hours. There's just something slightly off about the colour on me - it probably only needs to be a fraction different to be perfect but it's not Interesting about Shameless - I love Strong Woman on me, but really don't like Shameless. Skin tone makes all the difference I guess!
