MAC things you hate or don't like

I didn't like zoomlash mascara. I found it made my lashes long, but too thin ! However my boyfriend did actually comment on it when I wore it! But personally I like volume and it didn't deliver. But I do love the lipglosses! I have also bought the mac gloss for the glossy eye look and agree that in general (not just mac) these are a tricky thing to use. But I don't regret getting it.

All their foundations minus Studio Fix powder (not wide enough shade range for us fair skinned girls)
Mascaras - goo in a wand, blech
Plushglasses - what's the point?
The boring shades of their powerpoint eyeliners - ho hum!
Lipsticks - way too drying, goopy, and not much better than some drugstore lines

I've never had luck with any MAC foundations. I've tried several different formulas and they all made my skin break out like crazy.

I hate shadesticks..I was so excited to get them but ended up so dissapointed, they were just too dry and pain in the ass to work with.

I HATE:

Lipglass - Way way way too sticky. It's hard to get on, the colour is kind of weird and murky once applied, and my hair sticks to my mouth.

Studio Tech foundation - It doesn't blend nicely and kind of sits there on my skin. As the day goes on it eventually creases into the two tiny wrinkles I have near my mouth and makes them look huuuge. It's also greasy. And none of MAC's foundations come in a good colour for me, NC15 is the closest shade but I'm way yellower and paler than that.

I do not like:

Any and all MAC mascara - Waste of money. There are far better mascaras out there at a comparable or cheaper price. I prefer Clinique High Impact mascara.

Nail polish - Merely OK. Buy NARS or Chanel instead.

I don't like the lustre eyeshadows. They look too much like chunky glitter to me. Although, I have found they look A LOT better over a shadestick.

I didn't like their mascara at all until I tried Mascara X - this is now my HG mascara.

I can't stand MAC mascaras they're all thick and goopey! I love Bourjouis Coup de Theatre Mascara.

Studio Fix fluid straight out of the bottle looks horrible on me. My boyfriend was like "are you ok you look sick and pale". Which isn't a good sign at all!

My blacktrack fluidline dries out, for the money I pay for it then it shouldn't dry out.

I have a love/hate relationship with dazzleray pigment which is the only pigment I own. Some days I like it some days I get frustrated with it.

All of my fellow women of color are going to hate me for saying this but Oh Baby lipglass I can't stand! It was thick and the glitter was chunky for me. The other lipglasses I own I like. Oh baby went to my mom!

The eyeliner in the tubes. A product so traumatic to use that I block its name. Seriously, I always have to look it up.
Lovely, alluring colors. Horrible applicator.
Lovely, lasting line. Have to chip it off with pneumatic equipment. I was peeling bits off 3 days later, even with eye makeup remover.

I have a new hate. Forgery e/s. I ordered it last week and it arrived today. IT SUCKS. It's very crumbly, so crumbly that when I swiped my brush across the top of the pan big chunks of eyeshadow fell out. It goes on very poorly and doesn't even look nice with a mixing medium. I'm sending it back tomorrow.
