Biggest Disappointments of 06

I have to say that - except for Catherine Deneuve (some pretty colors there) - none of the collection from 2006 excited me ... I had almost no LE lemmings. I think 2007 is a better year already!

-Slip pink, scene 1, pink source, beautysleep, living pink, jete, budding beauty, pink freeze (repromote), pink venus (repromote), intervie minerlize eyeshadow (from the duo), zandra (from zandra plette), leap (danse quad) tickles (take wing quad) rye (the pink in the catherine quad, i think thats the name).- TOOOOO many pinks in 06!!!!

-colors that are so similar to seedy pearl of vex....... gatuex (sweetie cake quad), rite of spring, and sea myth (lure).

-maccouture- built this up way too much

-rockocco- why bother?? only pure vanity lipglass was amazing.

-lastly i think the lipsticks in classic coordinates were very much underrated!

^^I totally agree on the MAC Couture collection. This was built up WAY too much and was not exciting at all. Except for Red No 5 which is gorgeous!

Holiday collection - I haven't like these as much since they changed the packaging two years ago.
Plushglass - ouch!

I def wasn't diggin' Technacolor. I think I got 3 of the e/s's and really wanted to like them, but the color payoff sucked like no other. I agree that MAC Couture was way over-rated. I didn't even bother getting anything from that collection. '06 was just ok to me. But so far, it looks like '07 will be kickin' '06's ass pretty quick here.

I agree that "Couture" was kind of a dud. I love "Red No. 5," hate "House of Style," and didn't even bother with anything else.
As for 2007 so far, it's been all about "Barbie," though there were some strong items from "Danse."
I'm looking forward to "Balloonacy" and "Strange Hybrid."

Well I am usually disppointed in the quads these days,.. they all seem to have 2 undesireable colors that they throw into every quad,.. 1 dirty purple and 1 mud like brown. I have to like more than 2 colors to buy a quad and when I brake this rule I am usually sorry for it. (Looks at the Primal and Roustabout with an evil glare wishing they'd turn into something else.)

Disappoints,.. there were quite a few, but here are a couple,..

Studio Mists, See thru Color, Lip Varnishes, Glitz glosses, Danse (except MSFs)

I do however love the Glimmershimmers, they tend to look really really natural and pretty for me. I have no problem with Velvets, but I do agree they need to crank out less of them. Liquidlasts are supposed to be waterproof,.. I can't get mad cuz the product actually does what it is supposed to,.. I have had some good luck with these using my Mary Kay Makeup Remover. And if they would just stop with the dark dirty purples and browns- Puh-leese, I would be a happier camper.

Things I am glad I dont have to live without (LE and not necessarily 06):
Passionant e/s
Orange Tangent e/s
Endless Love e/s
D'Bohemia e/s
Desirous and Goddess Blushes
Etiquette Glimmershimmer

Stuff I wish I'd never bought,..
Glitz Glosses,.. just too much of a pain to deal with
Rose De Sheer Lip stain
Valentines Lip gelee

One thing I wish I'd bought more of:
Pretty Baby BP

While I agree that 2006 featured a good number of disappointments, I actually obtained a few new HG items last year, like French Grey eyeshadow(I'm wearing it right now), Subtle pigment, and Wild 'Bout You lipstick. I bought all of the aforementioned in multiples, because I don't want to ever be without them.

agreeing with everyone else...
definitely technacolour
boring lipsticks for the most part
the lipvarnishes except varnishing rose


i do love glissade but its not as good as the other msfs

passionate e/s was good but it was disapointing that it wasnt the red i thought it would be


also...the plushglass colours.. none of them really suited me except for two... it was really disapointing to try them all on and even have the MA tell me that it doesnt suit me. I ended up getting big kiss and oversexed
