Trax. Looks like a bruise on me, no matter what I do. I feel a little better seeing it on so many people's "overrated" lists.

Liquidlast Liners!!! I know everyone says how hard they are to get off but for me it's hard for them to stay on!! After a couple hours of wearing them, it starts to peel off. I can literally peel the whole line off in one piece. Too bad because the purples are so pretty.

Shadesticks are the only product i can think of...they are somewhat dry and hard to apply... I don't plan on buying anymore

I don't think I can come up with 5, but Belightful Iridescent Pressed Powder was horrid. I heard so many raves and I did NOT like it. For starters it's way darker than the swatch on MAC's webstite. I put it on my cheekbones, but it is way too sparkley and the sparkles ended up on my nose, my chin, everywhere! I sent it back.

I love MAC, but I can definitely think of a few.
1.Liquidlast liners. I love liquid liner, but I just don't like the thin brush applicator. I like brands that have more of a felt tip. That said, I'm SOOO excited about the Penultimate eyeliner in the Chill collection!!
2. Smolder Kohl eye pencil. I know my eye liners and this one just doesn't do it for me. On me, it doesn't last long at all and isn't as black as I like.
3. Shadesticks. I like them, but I don't think they're great. They tend to crease on me and they aren't the easiest to apply. But I keep buying them...lol. It's like I reeeally want to make them work!
I can't think of any others because all the other stuff I don't like isn't necessarily "overrated" because they aren't super popular...Like the eye primer and the pro-longwear lipcolors.

I agree with the shadesticks and I've got 3 that I never use. No one has said this but beauty marked is one for me. I've purchased it twice before and couldn't ever get it to look even remotely like it does in the pot so I took it back only to re-buy again, fail at it, return it AGAIN, and silly me - I just bought it last week but I used it over Artifact and it was ok. Any suggestions?

Their mascaras, they make my eyes turn red and burn
Paints, dry out my lids and my shadows dull out at the end of the day.
Shadesticks pull and tug my lids and they also don't give shadows great staying power.
Prep & Prime makes my skin oily and thats about it.
MESs are a glittery mess

1. Mineral eye shadows. Ew, just ew.
2. Tendertones. So pretty in the pot but if your lips are even sligtly pigmented, save your money and buy some vaseline. also, the kiwi scent is deplorable ... and i usually enjoy scent in my cosmetics.
3. Lipgelee. Pigmented lips? Save one or two shades.. forget it.

Shroom, Shadesticks, Paints, Lipgelees, and the Matte2 shadows (just because I've learned I'm not a matte girl)

Is that blasphemy?
It does nothing for my skin except make it more shiny (which I don't need!).
Plus, I find the scent rather strong.
MES. Often too glittery, and I find I like the permanent eyeshadow or regular LE shadows much better.
MSF.
This must truly be blasphemy, but I have 2 I rarely touch.
I just do not get the hype.
Paints.
They dry my lids out and actually seem to dull whatever colors I put on top. No thanks.
I can't really think of anymore. I generally like most of the things I try.

WOW I was thinking 3 of those as well
1.trax e/s
2.rose pigment (yucky yucky- chunky chunky)
3.liquidlast liners- read this thread, 'nuff said
4.PARFAIT AMOUR (hate this- love the color- but hate the texture)- it needs to be reformulated in my opinion
5.#311 brush (it's a lip brush- but i find it too hard and coarse, i like a little flexibility with my lip brushes- i tried using it with my gel fluidliners and it didn't work either)

Lipglasses.
Some of them just have a really sticky texture that I really hate. I have about 15 of them that I hardly use because they make my lips dry.

I can name only three. They are Beige-ing Shadestick (so light and has too little pigment to show up), Vanilla eyeshadow (so boring, looks too matte) and Graphic brown Fluidline (don't last that much, disappears). But overall MAC products are great, it's hard to name even three!

1. Fix+, i see zero difference in my skin, no dewyness, it doesnt set my makeup. If you want to infuse minerals into your skin, i'd suggest eating fruits and vegetables, not spraying vitamin water on your face.
2. MES, they are very gorgeous yes. But its too glittery for everyday use to school, work, afternoon dates. And the little color pay off is a big turn off. Besides im sure you can find a dupable color for better texture and color payoff.
3. Irridecent pressed powders... I'm on the darker side, so the color doesnt show up and it just looks like i applied super fine glitter onto my cheeks.
4. Eye Khols. If you want to look like a raccoon during the summer, be my guest.
5. Shadesticks, my eyes still crease after 2-4 hours of liberally applying this baby... why!?? =[
