I think the worst for me was the Kat Von D Everlasting Liquid Lipsticks. I'm a sucker for matte lips so I bought a couple of colours. Although some of them were very pretty, the lipsticks leaked out of the packaging quite a bit and were just a messy disaster overall. I was also disappointed that Mac labelled Hoop as a matte during the Mac by Request earlier this year. I was disappointed when I got it in the mail. Turns out I don't like the colour very much either.

That's how I feel about Riot House, but I'm going to re-try with different liners and glosses...

Oh I'm going to wear the hell out of Dodgy Girl but I feel for the hype and the extent to which I went to get it.. it's just ok.

MAC Prolongwear Concealer- absolutely hate it
Sideshow You blush- barely shows up on my skin
Grand Pumpkin lipglass- settles in all the fine lines on my lips
Kat Von D Studded Kiss lipsticks- too patchy and dry
Too Faced Melted Nude- did not go with my skintone at all
Hourglass Liquid Lipstick in Canvas- very patchy
MUFE Pro Finish powder- didn't do much for me. Won't ever repurchase
Kat Von D Powder foundation- turned orange on my skin

My list:

Powders
YSL Souffle - too shimmery, feels a little dry. Doesn't even out my skintone, no soft focus effect at all, nada.
I know you did not like it :(

on me not shimmery at all . I wore it yesterday and my skin looked so dull... flat. No radiance. And I wore it over Touche eclat foundation. Also I did feel it was drying me out.
I do not expect any evening out since it's setting powder, almost translucent. I do feel that Meteorites are FAR more better product than this

No matter which powder I try, nothing compares to Chanel Poudre Libre. I feel it does even out my skin, I'm comfortable with wearing just that powder + concealer and no foundation. And the best thing about it is that no matter how much I put on it never feels or looks dry, I feel like I'm wearing nothing at all.
I guess I should give up on trying other powders and just stick with that one.

My two big disappointments at least didn't cost me much-- this is not to say they were both disappointments because they were cheap, though.

The first was the free little MUFE mini lipstick that came as part of Sephora's birthday gift. It didn't last long on me, and I wasn't a huge fan of the look or the feel. The 'universally flattering' color was okay on me until it started to wear off and the color it wore away to was just not a good one for me. So, brand that I'd only ever heard good things about, solid reputation, way up there at my own personal high end, in terms of what's in my beauty bag... but just not working for me. But since I didn't spend money on it, I can't really complain.

And then the second was a super inexpensive product. I couldn't find one of my traincases one day and it was the one that had my favorite foundation, so my solution was obvious-- buy a second foundation-type product to keep in my other case, so that no matter which I had on hand (either because of traveling or because of moving/cleaning/what have you), but I didn't want to blow a bunch of money when I knew that if I'd had time the other day, I'd have gotten to my foundation eventually and that it's still good and more full than empty.

So I bought a super-cheap BB cream from N.Y.C., and... meh.

I don't HATE it? My sister says it looks good on me, but I really want fuller coverage than it gives, and it does not cover up my big redness problem. I don't mind people knowing my face tends to be blotchy and red, there are plenty of days when I'm not going anywhere where I feel the need for a full face of makeup, my sensitivity over my face is pretty limited to my literal skin sensitivity... but when I do put on a liquid face product, unless it's just a tinted moisturizer, I do want that redness to be gone. The BB cream evened me out a little but I could still see more redness than I like. The tone was also too warm for me, so while it's better than nothing and I'll totally use up the tube because it blends smoothly and doesn't look cakey after a while of wearing it, I'm just not a fan of how it makes my skin look not quite right. (it's hard to find one that is right because without the red blotches, my natural skintone falls somewhere between 'deathly pallor' and 'translucent')

omg... this.... it creases like cray.. i hate them :(
I had 3 and eventually all of them found their way back to the store. It GETS EVERYWHERE!!! AND creases like a mofo. I love Stila liners they are amazing and the color selection is great but as pretty as the Magnificent foil things go.... it's a bust. I tried my fingers. I tried brushes. I even bought the brush/spatula thing they suggested and I still couldn't get it right. It looked great for all of 5 mins before migrating and creasing. UGH!!!!! I used primers. paintpots, colored bases, etc and nothing!!! They are so pretty though!!!!

I understand. For me the best one is Givenchy. I always wanted to try Chanel but was afraid it would dry me out and make me look too matte.
You made me rethink this
