haven't tried though.

HATE (with a passion)
• MSFs - Im sorry I have to agree with other people on this also and say that it looks like glitter threw up on you with these. I find they make my pores look crater-like (and I have really tiny pores). If they were more glowy and less glittery, I would buy a million of them. (I have a few that I use occasionally but they are a 'oh, I haven't tried you in a while, and now that I have put you on, I know why I haven't' type product)

• MSF Eyeshadows - Same reasons as above + colour payoff is WAY to much work for my lazy ass. So I would never buy them again...but damn they're pretty.

HATE & LOVE
• Okay fluidlines are GREAT!! But I hate that it take me a good 15 minutes rubbing my eyes raw trying to get it off!!! (so hard to please I know)

I'm not a fan of MSF natural powder, select tint or pro longwear lipsticks. I also find fluidlines a bit too thick and nothing amazing (inly like the colours).

 

[Caracoco]

I really hate all Mac mascara and the prep&prime skin.

It also really annoys me when I order one or two small items online and they arrive in a massive box (shoe box size) with loads of shredded paper in. Er, recycling anyone?!

 

[Zoffe]

I won't say I "hate" them but I never understood why people love shadesticks so much...
I find them pretty hard to work with

i did something wrong.
i mean the idol eyes e/s.

And i don't like the mineral bronzing powder..

 

[sherox]

I actually love plushlash mascara! at first I was like ehh but ever since I've started using it none of the drugstore brands really compare to the volume. I'm not a fan of their other mascara's especially zoomlash mascara it gives me clumps like crazy!

The Prep + Prime doesn't do anything for me at all. The P&P skin would be alright if there wasn't so much glitter in it!

the mineral e/s don't do anything for me either!

About the fluidlines, you should try washing it off with baby shampoo. I have a little soap pump dispenser that I put baby shampoo into and before I wash my whole face, I wash my eyes with baby shampoo. It takes of EVERYTHING fluidline, mascara, WATERPROOF mascara, you name it. and it's super gentle on the eyes. =] HTH

1) Pigments - they're just too much hard work.
2) Mascaras - the worst ones I've ever used.
3) Foundations, EXCEPT mineralize satinfinish and studio tech, which I like.
4) Prep & Prime stuff

 

[statusmode]

I don't like ANY of the fragrances, which is soo dissapointing! I was expecting MV3 to be just my type of scent from the description on the site, but when I smelled it at the counter it sooo wasn't what I expected. It sort of smelled like Pachoulli (sp?).. I would love to have a great smelling MAC fragrance I could call my signature scent..

I second this- I adore baby shampoo.. I wash my eyemakeup off with it ALL the time and it totally takes it off soooooooooo well!

 

[CandiGirl21]

I don't like the fact that they always come out with the same damn color lip shit, but different finishes... GOD they know how to get your money.

 

[Purplegloss9]

oh mannnn.....I absolutely HATE Shadesticks...can't say it enough

don't like:
Studio Fix powder
I'm starting to not like the Lustre Lipsticks...they dry my lips out wayyy too much
Oh and theres a Goldy-beige-y shadow that came out in the N Collection..I hate it, it doesnt show up at all,(forgot the name) I get angry even looking at it!!

 

[veralicious]

i know a lot of ladies love fluidlines but they smudge badly on me

 

[SparklingWaves]

I am not a fan of the lipsticks with the glaze formula.

 

[Christina983]

I hate how the writing rubs off on the brushes, it should be permanetly on there!

Put a coat of clear nailpolish over the numbering

it wont budge.

 

[BunnyBunnyBunny]

I'm not a fan of:

-Prep + Prime Eye: They're just awful!!
-Pro Longwear Lipsticks: Soo drying and not buildable at all! Bitch to get off too.
-Metal-X Eyeshadows: Too creasy and dry.
-Shadesticks: Too creamy and too powdery at the same time. Like right in the middle, and that's a bad thing.
-Eyeshadow Suites: Chalky colors with boring pearlized pigments finish.
-Any loose powders not including pigments and glitter (Blot/Loose, Select Sheer/Loose, Iridescent/Loose, Beauty Powder/Loose, Pearlizer, Sheersheen, Mineralize/Loose): Gets ALL OVER MY FACE AND BODY. Why can't we just have them pressed? Loose stuff is so hard to work with. The only thing that doesn't make me hate pigments and glitter is the facts that they last foreverandever and there's such an awesome color range.

It did on me too.. I was extremely disappointed. Everyone kept on ranting and raving about it but I look like a raccoon at the end of the day. I love winging out my eyes but it always smears on me. =(

I hate the liquid last! It gets all gunky on me.. but I might just use it as a base because some people are using it as one.. but as a liquid liner.. I hate the applicator with a burning passion. It was the only thing that ever stayed on me too.. sigh*
