MAC "Eh"s?

[cno64]

We've talked some about MAC products that we would camp out all night for, pay a ridiculous price for, sell organs on eBay for, etc.
Are there any that you could live without?

There haven't been many for me, just a couple of lipsticks, and really just one pigment were serious disappointments.
Gave Away:
Euroflash lipstick- just too sheer
Chatterbox lipstick- too 60s pink
Naked pigment- Yick! Thin texture, chunky glitter, too yellow
Disappointed in but Kept:
Loud Lash mascara- kind of a "do-nothing" mascara
B-Rich eyeshadow- a little too red for me
Profusion lipstick- looked brown on me
Maroon pigment- too brown; not enough shimmer
Turquatic eyeshadow- not well pigmented

 

[EmbalmerBabe]

Mythic Blue Zoomlash from Jewelescent, TARANTULA CRISPY LASHES alert..haha

 

[Simply Elegant]

Studio fix fluid foundation was the only disappointment for me. Way too orange and dark in the lightest colour and it made my skin break out even though I rarely get breakouts.

 

[betseyjohnson]

pigments i can live without: rose, kitchmas, frost, and silver fog. those textures just dont seem to like me.

 

[lara]

Lustering lipstick is dead weight in my kit. Insta-yellow teeth on 99% of people.

 

[flowerhead]

Sea me shadestick. Beautiful colour, but it hurt my eyelid trying to rub the colour off on it. If anyone has any tips on smooth application, help would be greatly appreciated =)

 

[d_flawless]

idol eyes e/s
slick CCB
the whole lingerie quad (boudoir hues)
there's definitely more, but yeah.

though i do love lustering l/s, lara! no yellow teeth for me!

 

[Cruella]

Unfortunately, I have quite a few:

Eyeshadows
Idol Eyes - too much glitter, icky color
Retrospeck - glitter but no color payoff
Mulch - too red for me
Love-Bud - pretty color but I can't make it show up

Lipsticks
Any of the matte lipsticks, I feel like my lips are going to shrivel up & fall off my face. I do suffer for Russian Red since the color is perfect.

Any of the mascaras

 

[Kat]

Trax - same complaint a lot of people have, pretty in the pot but it just makes me look bruised.

Lustreglasses - love the colours but the staying power is underwhelming for me.

 

[BlahWah]

Gloss Brilliant in Chartreuse - looks like it'd be so cool to use but turns out so sheer and sticky... *sob* Obviously not meant for non-pro use.
Idol Eyes - the one-minute eyeshadow on my lids, I wonder why I keep bothering!
Beauty Sleep - k_im's post reminded of that huuuuuge disappointment! That was worse than Slip Pink which at least leaves behind a colour, if not the texture. BS was a no-show and a big waste of MAC's time in the making.
Slip Pink - pretty, but I wish it was more pigmented and the texture stayed.
Little Minx - hard to admit this as it was one of my first shadows, but after getting Violet piggy and UD's UV-B, LM's been ignored.
Electro Sky - Why did I ever think I wanted my lids that blue? I also find it hard to match another shadow with.

 

[mzreyes]

mascaras. ew
falling star e/s. ew
matte l/s. EW!

 

[k_im]

falling star is such a pretty name. why would they give it to such a blah color?

lol i'm sure it looks fine paired with certain things though!

mmm, wish beauty sleep showed up as nice as it looks in the pan. although i can't say i'm not surprised after my "nars fathom" experience.

slip pink eyeshadow
prep and prime for eyes

 

[ledonatella]

Some of mine are:

Shroom eyeshadow- same color as my skin only greyer so it looks like death on me

Chai lipglass- same problem as shroom, just is so blah on me, I look like a corpse

Satin shadows- for some reason some are always are such a pain to get on the brush, I have to scrap them, they don't go on too smooth for me

Liquidlast liners- flashbacks of an incident with the black one where it ran in my eye and dried on my contact and I couldn't get it off and therefore couldn't see....these suckers last a little too well for me

Jewelmarine glitter- wanted it so bad cause it looked pretty, got it and couldn't think of any use for it, the first MAC product I've ever returned in 7 years!

Studiofix powder- breakout city for me, although the liquid is my HG!

Plum dressing & Trax shadows- don't like these for any reason other than I just really can't pull them off

 

[joraye]

any mascara...i dont know what it is, i just don't like it....

Matte....ehh. this does NOTHING for me.

Gloss....love the look, hate the sticky-lid-10-minutes-later syndrome.

 

[asnbrb]

15 minutes l/s
idol eyes
most pink e/s
rose pigment

 

[DaizyDeath]

Pro lash - i have to use it with a different wand to get it to work the way i want.

All over glosses- ewww never actually bought one myself but ive used them and their just nasty imo and unsanitary.

Glitter Liners- i can achive a better effect by just using mixing medium and mac glitter with alot more glitter the glitter liners give out minimal ammounts of glitter and that makes me angry.

All the nocturnal eyeshadows none of them impressed me.


Kitchmas Pigment- i love the color and glitter of this but it comes off in about 2 minutes even with a good base it just doesnt stick.


All the pallettes i find them preety much useless due to the fact that i never use mine shure their preety but sorta odd imo.

Glimmer Shimmers- The pump makes it horrible with the high concentration of the product the pump pumps out 2 much and they dont give you very much in the bottle so you just end up with a bunch of wasted product.

Mac Concelor preety much sucks ass from the ones ive used.

Cream Color Bases: ugh hard to use and thats all i want to say about that.

 

[eowyn797]

lip palettes in all their incarnations. it's just...it seems like such a supremely bad idea to me and stuff is alwas getting caught in them when i've got he palette open...blech. i disagree with the delivery.

Naked pigment, yeah, 2nd that. also Entremauve and Subtle...they are just not...what i wanted them to be or they are way too close to other things in my book.

Idol Eyes, Retrospeck, Honesty...Lustre finish e/s in general (Swimming, Gleam and Mythology excepted on account of my irrational love for them)

MAC mascara...i'm allergic to all of it. yay.

any of the e/s that have come out in, oh...fah. the last collection that had cool colors was A Muse with the mineralize e/s but real regular e/s...it's been since Sundressing.

and i agree with DaisyDeath about any products that can be better done by hand with mixing medium and pigment/glitter/eyeshadow/etc. liquidlast liners, glitter liners, glimmershimmers, shimmersouffles, etc...imho, the less wet product you've got sitting around, the better. i'd rather just make it as i need it. Fluidlines, however, i cannot live without. they're not exactly liquid tho.

 

[Eilinoir]

- Slip Pink
- Dubonnet
- Steamy
- Rio de Rosa (sp?)
and probably some more that I can't think of atm.

search for 'shadestick'. i know there's been several threads regarding shadestick application tips, because i think i've replied in every thread with essentially the same tips, lol. they're really not as hard as people make them out to be.
