MAC "Eh"s?

[Glitziegal]

Lustre eyeshadows
Paints- I find them both drying and they crease like buggery on me.
Liquidlast liners- I hate how they split in the tube giving a patchy line *grrrrrr*

I heard all over gloss wasn't lip safe? I thought I read that someone, but maybe I dreamed it. Its been one of those weeks

MAC stuff I either love to the extreme or hate. My blahs have been:
Glimmershimmers
Lip Varnishes These are nasty, they seperate all funkily if you don't store them upright and they make my lips look all gross cause they emphasize any line in them.
Technacolour shadows Excepting peppier and pompous blue.

Solarshine All Over Gloss - too gooey for my taste. Feels sticky all the time for some reason (but my friends ADORE it).

Blue Brown Pigment - looks this beautiful aqua blue shine on a chocolate color in the jar, gets on your face and is UBER dark brown with a little silvery shimmer instead. Bleh.

I see everyone complaining about Idol Eyes E/S and Rose Pigment - I LOVE these. I can get them to work just fine with the right base.

But I really don't like Beauty Marked E/S and the Liquidlast Liners. Also the Moistureblend Foundation is way to dark for me and I'm using NC15.

Does MAC make lighter foundations? At all, like NC10 or NC05?

That would be awesome. I'm just really pale.

Another woman's poison, I guess ...
I love the Lustre shadows, but I'm with you 100% on the Paints!
I tried "Bare Canvas," hoping that it would make a good eyeshadow base.
NOT. I have oily skin, and BC creased like car-razy on me!
Now I'm using it as a highlighter, and it doesn't even work especially well for that.
Oh, well. I hastened back to UD's Primer Potion.

Have you tried Trax over a Shadestick? It looks gorgeous over Crimsonaire Shadestick and it isn't that weird looking.

Cranberry e/s

I liked this in the beginning but the texture is just so hard to work with and it's such a non-descript colour. Not really red enough to be classified as red, and not really brown enough to work with as a neutral. It's sort of a muddy boring colour. Meh. It just sits there in my kit.

Lustre shadows - love the gold color of retrospeck but hate the texture, swapped all away and learned my lesson

Lavender Sky e/s - just didn't look good on me, would be gorgeous on a dark brunette, swapped away

Softwash Grey pigment - it was too blue on me, unflattering with my undereye circles

Lip Varnishes - can't say anything good about these, the only item I've ever returned

Glittery lipglasses, as it wears off there's just a thick nasty layer of glitter left which is really unappealing. I would have to completely clean my lips before reapplying so my lips don't look clumpy. Lips aren't supposed to look clumpy.

Agreed. I bought it over a year ago, used it for about a week, and once on Halloween...but its basically untouched.

Sketch e/s used to sit there unused as well...it was sooo boring to me. but it's grown on me in the past few months.

*Softwash Grey pigment. It just doesn't work for me.

*Honey Lust eyeshadow. Too ... flaky. I let a friend of mine use it and she thought I'd been had on ebay and bought a fake one. Nope. Got it in store. Yikes.

*Zhandra Rhodes lipstick. It's PRETTY in the tube. Not so pretty on me.

*Any of their mascaras. No thanks.

*Naked You MSF. Glitterbommmmb. *bbooooofff* all over the face. I have to buff the living shit out of it to make it NOT look like I just stuck my face in bucket of sparkles.

*Burnt Burgundy pigment. I got it as a sample, thank goodness, and wow. I look like I got solidly punched in the eye when I wear it. It takes some serious work to make that look alright on me.

*the above ^^^ goes for any purple product MAC sells.

Studio Fix/Studio Fix Fluid-hi, i have acne scarring because of THIS SHIT!

CCBs-Hello my name is Crease

Eyeshadows:
Slip Pink, Lavender Sky, Iris Print, Full Flame, Creme De Violet, Suspicious etc
All these shadows disappointed me...

Liquid Last Liners: I wasn't down for that drippy shit

Lip Varnish/Plushglass: Booooooo

I'm becoming more and more glad that I didn't try Liquidlast; I do use Fluidline, and it's great.
As for Plushglass, I have full lips already, so I passed on that one.
I'm glad I did, since it seems to be showing up fairly repeatedly in this "Eh" thread.

heya i meant to press quote instead of thanks oops!

i was talking to my MA and she said that you can apply it on your lips just as long you avoid licking it off

I like my plushglass but i find that it causes my lips to chap mega time :|

 

[coachkitten]

Although this product did not come out this year, the MAC product that I despise is Plum Pro e/s. It is like putting purple chalk on your eyes! Ewww....

 

[XoXo]

Chai lipglass, it turned a weird grey brown on me & i looked dead..

Cute Yet Sexy lip varnish- turned orange, looked weird with my skintone

Filament e/s..no color payoff, it was all glitter & it fell onto my cheeks (even with udpp)

Glimmershimmers, Mascaras.

Blue brown pigment- turned red?

ALL lipgelees. They all turned clear on me, no matter what the color. Exceptions to Dame in a dress, whos that lady and cool and aloof. Ive tried pretty much every other color and they all look clear.

Pinkarat l/g- looked so pretty in the tube, but was just clear gloss on me.

Most shadesticks. It literally makes my eyes red because I have to scrape them on.
