The Givenchy one is actually the driest one to me
The Chanel is definitely worth a try.

The Invisible Man, AKA MAC Fun Ending. I put layers on and it just…disappeared and gave me a sheen. The only thing fun about that ending was getting credit back when I returned it.
Tarte Kiss & Belle Lipsurgence set: I loved the one I got as a sample last year and thought this would be the year's Huggable lipsticks for me. The finish was terrible - I returned these too.
There was a lot of BTM this year, but that was typically because I didn't love how the product looked on me (I vastly prefer more finely milled powders now and am happy to pay higher prices for them) rather than there being anything specifically wrong with it.
I did return two e/s that I bought online; Honeylust (glitter bomb) and Nocturnelle (poor version of Fig 1 which I have and love).
Guerlain Joli Teint Foundation: I LOVED the finish of this one and was thrilled to bits that Guerlain finally had a light yellow-based foundation for me. Unfortunately, the third ingredient is alcohol and it wrecked havoc on my skin. It's the first Guerlain item I ever returned.

Fantasy of flowers lippies.. Im not sure why I even purchased them..theyre so sheer!
Cheeky bugger blush - its pretty but chalky.
the kelly osbourne MSF.. the name slips my mind... its very natural on me.. I prefer my highlights to pop. the bronzer is an okay shade but not matte enough for my liking.

I apply with my finger. They do crease though, I just smooth it out with my finger. I haven't had an issue with fallout, though they do get glitter all over my hands/fingers from applying them. I just wash my hands after.
Also, a lot of people mentioned that the KVD lipsticks are drying? I agree, but there is a way to combat this. Exfoliate your lips to avoid dry patches, and put on MAC's prep+prime lip primer before you apply the lipsticks. It really helps! If you're not willing to go through those extra steps, then the KVD lipsticks are not for you.
My biggest makeup bust was Sonia Kashuk makeup. Though this was back in 2013. I bought her tinted moisturizer (greasy and hardy any coverage), concealer (ok) , lipstick (barely any pigment) and mascara (the mascara broke on me within a month). This was my last forray into drugstore makeup, now I don't even bother. I'm never happy with it.

Worst purchase for me was a CT quad. I love three out of the 4 shadows, but the pop shade is a horrible fall out glitterbomb. So for the $$ I shelled out, three shades were not worth the price.
MAC Kelly MSF. Something about this color combo looks odd on my skin.
MUFE HD foundation. I know that many love this product, but it does not work well on my skin.

Urban Decay Naked 2 Basics : Chalky,powdery eyeshadows,hard to work with (the original Naked Basics is FAR superior)
Narsissist palette : Coconut Grove,Mekong and the black eyeshadow look the same when blended,Madrague needs a ton of layering and blending and the 2 light shimmery ones are not pigmented at all.The rest of them (except Fez) are ok but still a bit chalky and require more blending than usual.
Dior Star foundation: The finish is AMAZING but no matter what the youtube gurus said this is not good for oily skin. I get about 4-5 hours of wear (with a primer and a powder) before it starts melting.

I couldn't even find a shade match.
I'll had to 5th/6th Pure Heroine.
I didn't mind the sheerness of the FOF lipsticks.
Playland and Osbourne were busts for me.
i wish I saw this thread from last year. I have 3 palettes I wish I hadn't bought UD Smoked. KVD Holiday, Tarte ULta exclusive Holiday e/s Palette (this years is soo much better. the colors are warmer)
Riri VG 1. Hated this red.

I have to agree with this one. I was so excited to get a blush during VIB, but dear god, is it terrible. Very powdery, not pigmented at all (I got Dim Infusion!) Seriously, DI is like a poor man's NARS Sex Appeal.

me too! I thought I was the only one in the world! Marc Jacobs blush in Naughty, the lightest baby pink shade, had visions of it being a pretty highlight, not even close!

I agree with you on Chanel Poudre Libre. I started with this powder when I started putting makeup regularly, and went through 3 or 4 jars of it before exploring other powders such as NARS, shu uemura, Guerlain meteorites (which is a bit troublesome because I have to swirl) and Givenchy (picked the wrong shade). Now I will go back to it because it is as perfect as what you say.

I had forgotten about this one! It chips like noones business and the colour is more orangey than the red base I had seen in pictures...

It's pretty bad, I was so disappointed in it when I got it. It's also so thin that it takes several coats to get it looking opaque. I like it over a black base, but I'm still very meh over it.

The Hourglass Ambient Lighting Palette made me look ashy as hell. I wanted to love it, and almost kept it because I felt bad for not really liking it but I'm naturally ashy and don't need to enhance it for $50. AND when I used dim light dusted on as a highlighter it didn't wear very long.

Not ashy but hated this one too.
