5 most overestimated MAC products

[purrtykitty]

There are a few for me:

1. Old Gold Pigment - it just looks baaad on me
2. Blue Brown Pigment - a horribly ruddy mess
3. Liquidlast Liner - that darn brush is so hard to use!

The other stuff I'm not keen on (like most of the mascaras) aren't that popular anyway.

1. Shroom: The way it's raved about, you'd think it to be some sort of miracle shade. It's not. It's just kind of... blah.

2. Fix+. You know, I could just use a spritz bottle of tap water and get most of the same effects...

3. MSFN. Aside from my personal lack of colour match, I find it melts off really quickly and it's just gross then.

4. Studio Fix Fluid. It's so raved about, and yet there are so many complaints (about how it oxidizes, to name a huge one). It also does not come in a shade nearly light enough for some of us.

5. Concealers in general. I don't find the coverage on any of them to be great, and the shade options for a couple just plain suck. None of them ever have given me the concealing I desire, they usually just look like crap or, at best, sort of dull down whatever I'm trying to hide.

1. Zoomlash. Heh, more like Spiderlash! I only bought it since a) it was at the CCO, and b) it was a blue shade and I lurve me some blue mascaras.

2. Starflash shadows. To me, they applied worse than some satins or frosts-ie Cool Heat, Sushi Flower, Pagan.

3. Shadesticks. I had it once tried on me at a MAC store-and well, pretty much not a whole lot different than the cheapy stick-form cream shadows I got when I was younger-as in CREASES LIKE HELL.

4. Vanilla pigment. Honestly, if you're looking for a better all over pigment, find Jardin Aires or Helium.

5. Charged Waters. One word: Pointless. At least to me.

THE DRESS CAMP PALLET!

for all of you who didn't get a chance to purchase one of these dont be sad!

the eye shadow is just chalkyy and not pigmented no matter what base you put on

if it weren't for the blush i might have just swapped it

i think the only reason why people were going crazy over it was because of how exclusive it was and how pretty it was

other than that THUMBS DOWNNNN

Frostlite and uppidy fluidliners are to sheer to be called eyeliners...what a shame colors are gorgeous!

 

[sweeteternity]

*Trax e/s (definitely agree with everyone else about this!)
*All of the mascaras
*Filament e/s and Pink Venus e/s (I do like many lustres, but I hate these two...especially Filament. It gets my vote for worst MAC eyeshadow ever)
*Blot Powder
*Copper Sparkle pigment (SO chunky and flaky when applied wet)

 

[dolcekatiana]

1) Painterly Paint Pot (sooo drying)
2) Petticoat MSF (I just dont get it. It makes me look like a pink disco ball/clown)
3) Fix+ (I love it but you can get a product that does the exact same thing for less than half the price at any drug store)

I can't think of 2 more!

Lustres! They are way too shimmery and no matter how much I pack them on they don't show up as vibrant as I want them to. Paired with the insane amount of fallout they leave and they fact that ALL of mine have broke, no thank you!

Liquidlast liners. I swatched the green on my hand once and it literally took 4 days to get off. No way in hell that's going by my eyeballs.

I wasn't a huge fan of Zoomlash, either, but I love pairing it with Plushlash. It makes my eyelashes look long and full!

 

[nursee81]

1. Zoomlash
2. sushi flower

I cannot think of anything else right now.

Pink venus eyeshadow. It makes me look really tired. I can only use it as a cheek highlight and even then it's not that pretty.
Liquid last liners. Hate the brush.
SFF. I used to like it but it's not so good compared to other foundations I have.
Frost lipsticks. Just don't like the glitter.
Fix+. I use a LUSH toner instead. At least it's more multi-purpose.

 

[Twinkle_Twinkle]

I think the Lipglasses are over estimated. They are sticky, I hate the applicator, and Lusterglasses have a better texture and finish IMO.

 

[ladybugz07]

1. ALL Liquidlast liners - I despise these, brush sucks, they're a gloppy mess
2. ALL Paint pots - the colors are so pretty, but the formula is hard to work with
3. Moth Brown e/s - it's just so-so to me, I don't see why everybody freaks about it
4. ALL Velvet formula e/s - i just don't get this formula
5. Not a product - but the vanilla scent in some of the products... makes me ill!

 

[Asphyxia]

1. Parrot es
2. Shadesticks.....I had to return mine for b2b because they dried up so quickly
3. Prep and prime eye creases before I even get a chance to start the day
4. lip liners
5. perky paint pot....

Touche!


1. ALL MES - these are just sooo blah! glittery messy fallout MAC should be strung for continuing with these.....
2. Shadesticks... I dont see the hype in these things, there are better bases.
3. Paint pots... these just dont work for me, I hate them!!
4. Parrot e/s.... Ok, so I own two of these BUT I actually prefer Teal pigment and I use it more than Parrot. Its pretty sure enough, but the hype was overkill.
5. Neon pigments - BOOOO - worst.pigments.EVER.

 

[nursie]

i think shroom e/s is overrated from the hype on forums. i swipe it about every time im at the counter to see why i dont like it. it just looks like off white chalk on me, and barely shows up at that.

although i do like the msf's that i have, i dont understand the hype over collecting and having all of them when the end result is similiar from each shade. just a couple of them are way plenty for me.

 

[xphoenix06]

1) bare study paintpot-I find it's hard in the pot, so it's hard to apply and blend, it's not smooth like I imagine.
2) fix+ spray-it does nothing for me except make my face itch after a few sec.s of spritzing it.
3) gleam eyeshadow-one of my very first products from MAC, no color pay-off on me and it's a glittery mess all over me too!

so far that's it.....can't think of two more..

 

[Marjolaine]

1. Shroom e/s. I have no idea how it is one of the best sellers here.. It doesn't show up on me, it is like I didn't use anything at all.

2. Lipglasses. I hate the applicator.. Plushglasses also have the same stupid applicator but at least they have nicer colors and taste. Unlike many here, I like lustreglasses and dazzleglasses a lot.

3. Prep+prime lips, dries out my lips, plus it smells awful.

 

[AdlersMommy22]

mmmm after reading this thread i totally decided i DO hate some stuff.

Beauty marked.- i think i need to try putting a red lipstick under this or something. LOL. I should have bought flammable.. whatever. It looks like hot shit.

zoomlash- i forgot. I hate this. It freaking blows. If I wanted my eyelashes to look like a spider then.............. well i guess id use this freaking mascara.

Shroom- I dont hate it, I just.. am not as impressed about it as everyone else.

I HATE THE FACT THAT I CANT REORDER SOLAR WHITE. fudge.

And of course

climate blue.. why does the pink not show up when i put it on my lids??? Its pretty in the pan but really-? im not going ot walk around showing people "this is what its SUPPOSED to look like."

I think you totally should. That would be awesome.

 

[prncezz]

Shroom doesn't show up on me very well either unless I use my NW15 concealer over my eyelid first.
