I can't stand:
lustre e/s- can do anything w/honey lust
fragrances-old lady in a bottle
lipgleees- i wish they had more staying power
shadesticks- too dry and can't blend

Well I just returned some of my hated products to MAC for new stuff, but of those:

D'Bohemia - A waste of my money. It looked so pretty in the container??

Girl About Town Lipstick - Hated it

Gladabout and Ricepaper - I still don't know what to do with these? Don't hate, but just don't know?

Liquid Last Liners, the stupid liquid(now goupy mess) always gets on my eyelashes. Blue Horizon(which they spelled wrong) is not becoming. My hand shakes.

Well I might not like Studio Fix Fluid.....I just found out today that the Studio Fix Fluid SPF 15 has algae extract in it. For those of you who were like me, Algae extract is one of the top comedogenic ingredients!!! What the heck!!!

Does anyone know if the formula for plain Studio Fix Fluid is the same as Studio Fix Fluid with SPF 15? Cause if it is I know exactly why I am breaking out. It may be oil free, but it also has an ingredient known full and well to clog your pores. I'm a little annoyed!!!

yeh, i kept hearing things about shroom so i got the untamed eyes cuz it had shroom in it, espresso.. that blue and orange colors (trying to experiement with colors) the shroom is a weird color when i try to use it as a brow highlight and it's off.. making my brows look dirty. the blue and orange are lustres so no real color pay off

I am not a fan of Plum pro eye shadow which looks like purple chalk on me. I also, like a lot of people, am not a fan of MAC mascaras.

Another eye shadow color that I do not understand why it is so popular is Sunplosion. IMO it is a very ugly rust orange.

I do love the colors of the liquid last liners but they are so hard to work with and my eyes get red & swollen at the thought of removing them!

Those are my only huge MAC gripes! Everything else I can usually get creative w/ & make it work some how!

I don't like the texture of the lipglasses, I prefer lustreglass. And the Primp +Prep for lids does have a tendency to crease. I'm also starting to wonder if the Natural MSF has much of a point...
Oh! And I don't like Studio Fix or Tech (gasp!) - They are just too heavy for me.

the shimmersouffles definately did not impress me, but i never had any of them, just played with them at the CCOs.

i HATE cleanse-off oil. its disgusting, imo. but i love the mac wipes, which i find do just as good a job.



The only glimmershimmer I like Ritzy!. The gold is a great higlighter.
I put it underneath my eyes for a bright, fresh look.

I don't like their mascaras at all so I always buy other brands. I also far prefer Nars loose powder in Snow to MAC's loose powder in NW15 - I think the NW15 powder adds too much (orange!) colour to my skin.

My other MAC dislikes have been poor colour choices rather than bad products - Iris Eyes Fluidline looked awful on me and soon after, I bought Pop Iris Liquidlast Liner not realising it was similarly unflattering with my colouring. If I had seen them at a store or counter rather than online, I probably wouldn't have bought either.

I didn't like the Softsparkle liners.. Blacktrack with Black Tied on top would look way better and it wouldn't smudge

I agree about the Lustre e/s. They look so pretty in the pan but they're a nightmare to blend.

not all lustres are hard to blend. My all time HG mac e/s aquadisiac is a lustre and it's a dream to blend.

i don't like MAC lipsticks in general (other than the lustre and the slimshine range), they dry my lips out.

OMG I hated that shadow. So glad I swapped it...

Here are my hates:
Lustres in general (except for Greensmoke- I love that color so much I just make it work)

Powerpoints- absolutely useless and no staying power

Glitz Gloss- horrible texture

Paints. I have tried them and they just don't like me.
Shadesticks. Same as above.
Pigments. (don't beat me, I am just not a fan)
All of their foundations except Studio Fix, I just can't get a match with the others.
