I found i didnt like petticoat when i was applying it with my 109 brush. But i tried it with a small angled blush and it doesnt give that horrible sheen or excentuate my pores as much now.
I do not like studio finish concealer. Cakes, and is extremly hard to blend.
Shroom e/s just does not work for me.

Im sooooo with you on your comment on mineral makeup. i hope its just a passing fad, because for some reason the idea of all that loose powder on as a medium to full coverage foundation weirds me out lol If its sheer, then im fine

I dont think shroom (do i really need to label it as being an eyeshadow? I think everyone here knows what im talking about) is pretty blah. Not pigmented and the texture feels really weird to me. To make it show up i always have to use a sponge tipped applicator. I have nothing against sponge applicators, especially for smudging eyeliner. Buti think its really overhyped.

I noticed that studio finish is so difficult to blend as well. I once read that someone used a 227 to sort of help the process of blending though.

woodwinked eyeshadow.

This was one of my first MAC purchases and I got this eyeshadow because allthatglitters21 on youtube said it was one of her favorites. It is a pretty color - however, it looks terrible on me. I also don't like rubenesque paint pot either.

Paint Sticks are p.o.s. My NYX Jumbo Pencils are way better

Kitchimas Pigment-makes my face looks like im sick

Gold Lemon Pigment<--I really hate this one

Most Mac foundations, with the exception of the original formulation of Hyperreal, which I do love. All the others have broken/irritated my skin like there's no tomorrow and I'm nowhere near being a teenager. I'm not even tempted to try new MAC foundations anymore.

Also shadesticks - not loving any product that requires me to scrub my delicate eyelid area just to apply it. I'll stick to paints and other easier to apply products.

Oh and those CCBs. Pretty much a useless product. I prefer creme to powder products any day.

The spray blushes, those showed up at my CCO en mass. Great idea, poor execution.

Metal-X cream eyeshadows. Who doesn't want eyeshadows with built in creasing?

There's more, that's all I can think of at the moment. Not all of Mac's products are winners.

Ditto on MSF (the shimmery kind).

Humid is just meh to me. Hard to believe but I have a LE maybelline e/s that is comparably better and more pigmented than Humid.

Expensive Pink. Really wanted to love it but doesn't do anything for me.

Shadesticks.

Lipliners. I don't do "expensive" lipliners. My Annabelle drug store l/l already rock and they are cheap. I would pay up for foundation, e/s, l/s, l/g but not l/l. Maybe I'm missing something...but reality is probably not. Either that or its gotta really blow my mind.

Carbon e/s....just don't get it.

Maybe it was the pan that I had, but it didn't seem to blend well at all. I'll take MUFE's matte black over MAC's anyday!

Wow, I'm shocked at how many people mentioned Satin Taupe. I'm also surprised at the brush hate. I can't live without the 239 or 217 and I wouldn't wear blush if I couldn't have the 187 to apply and blend it with.

The only thing I don't understand the love for is shadesticks. They do not go on smoothly and pull way too hard on your delicate eye skin.

As for Dazzleglasses, I hate lip gloss period. I think it looks disgusting when lips are that shiny, it doesn't stay on, your hair sticks to it, and no dude I know wants to kiss a girl who's wearing the nasty stuff.

Soft and Gentle MSF, it accentuates my oily skin...way too sparkly for my face. Sadly I spent a lot of money on this and NEVER use it.

I want to love it though.



Add wookwinked to my list too. How I wanted to love this eye shadow.

One thing I do not like are shadesticks. I'm not sure they are popular, but I really don't like mac's lip conditioners. They taste like suntan lotion.
