Satin Taupe e/s - Really? I love that, it is one of my go-to shadows for sure!
Mine would be lusture e/s I have such a hard time getting any decent colour payoff!

Paint Pots. I don't own any, never take a second (or first look) at them and just can't get into using a color base with everything I use.
Paints as Primer. I'll stick to my tried and true.
Dazzleglasses, Lipglasses, Lustreglasses. I do have some pictured in my collection. They were probably one of the 1st items I bought and the last ones I'll use....as a matter of fact, I won't use them. So many better lip products out there and they all look the same on pigmented lips anyway.
Studio Fix. Break out city.
That's all I can think of right now.

petticoat is just WOW to me.. i tried it in the store and i was just too surprised by how it looked.. even the tiniest amount.. i cant imagine it looking good on me. the MA at mac said its suppose to be a blush.. and i cant imagine that color working for me at all.
im also scared to try my paint pots. :- (
i have a tendency to buy the items that get all the rave reviews.. ive had a bad experience with blackground as a base.. but i went and got painterly.. :- / so far i havent used it yet.
another one is paint... i got bare canvas.. because everyone seems to use it. i havent used it on my eyes, but the other night i swatched my paint, paint pot, UDPP, and eyeshadow insurance.. then i put on eyeshadow on each of them.. and i have to say... the color wasnt vibrant at all on both paint and the paint pot swatch. im a little disappointed by that.. because i bought both.. but im hoping that itll work better on my eyes.
mulch, amber lights, woodwinked, rule... all those color do noooot work on my eyes at all. i look like i got punched.. but it looks so beautiful on some of the girls ive seen. (im jealous,,, but i cant make it work for me :- [ )

Pigments
Lustre eyeshadows
Fix+
217 (Sometimes it's really scratchy on my eye)
Petticoat (only because mine doesn't have much veining at all so it's more of a highlight). I was even thinking of buying another one that has a lot of veining but i'll just wait for the Blonde, Brunette, Redhead collection.

Blackground can be scary, if you are not used to playing with your eyes & colors. Try dabbing a little bit of Blackground along the upper lashline (like a thick liner) and lay the shadows or pigments on top and you will see the colors 'pop'. Since you are not covering the whole eyelid, you won't look 'bruised'
. There is a cool paintpot and shadow combination thread here, in MAC chat and just go and play with it! My favorite is Blackground with Stars n Rockets or Blackground with Green/blue piggie.

They looked funny on me in the beginning too, but the more you practice, the more you know how to 'work' your eyes.

Shroom. No matter how hard I try I can't even get any eyeshadow on the freakin brush!
239 brush. I feel bad everytime I use it because it gets all dirty....I'm kind of a freak about it! I much prefer the 213.

I hate to say it but Studio Fix. I'm fairly sure I'm allergic to it because my face starts burning after a couple of hours.
Lustre eyeshadows especially Idol Eyes. Trax also looks dreaded on me.
CB 96 Lipstick, ugh that frosty orange mess should have been dc'ed years ago IMO, haha. Bring back Eager instead!!!!
Moon's reflection eyeshadow. I feel like no over 15 can wear this reasonably.
Zoomlash clumps really terribly on me as well...much prefer Plushlash

Fix+ (a waste of money)
nanogold e/s (it's lustre and it 'clumps' on the pan)
vanilla e/s (looks way to 'white' for me. i'm nc 25-30)
and lastly maybe MSFN? I love this stuff! I just apply it on my bare face in morning when I'm in a rush for an even skin tone. But whenever i apply it, my face starts to itch for about 1/2 hour..
Does that means that i m allergic to it?
And is there any recommendation for me as an alternative?
Thanks in advance!

woodwinked e/s (goes red on me), carbon e/s (refuses to blend..), and msfs omg. they make me look like a greasy mess and i don't even have oily skin. i also do not see the point in fix+, makes no differnce for me.
oh, and the cult of cherry collection like somebody else said. i was not feeling it at ALL.

I don't like Lustreglasses. They're just sparkly. No color, nothing.
But what tops it off are the Lipgelées. I just don't get them. They're not pigmented, they don't last, they smear all over the face.
The one product customers seem to love that I don't agree with: Pink Venus and Shroom eyeshadow. One is messy and doesn't show up, and the other is just boring (there are better neutrals out there).

MAC mascaras... all the ones I've tried remind me of those cheap non-brand ones you got in those Walmart make-up kits as a teenager! They're just... BAD!
Lipgelees.
Fix+... what's the point?
