the softsparkle eyeliners that came out with sweetie cakes. i figured it would be too teenagerish and glittery for me, but then when i saw them i fell in love and bought 3 of them!!

Fluidline, silly me I thought it was like liquid liner. Also I swore I wasn't going to get the brown/gold duo from Amuse, but I swatched them and it's mine now.

PIGMENTS!
i told myself they were too much for me and that they would be too hard to apply.
but i just HAD to buy gold dusk because of it's beautiful colour
and now i'm hooked on pigments! lol
i regret not getting into pigments earlier because i totally ignored all the beautiful l/e pigments when they came out (esp goldenaire! argh!!!)

I'm wiht you sodium...pigments for me too! I used to hear them raved about all over MUA and I was like no way! I thought they'd be too much trouble, too time consuming to use, too annoying to keep little samples around, etc.-I rejected them for every reason you could think of. And I've never used a lot of MAC products either as I'm mostly a Stila gal so that was just another reason.
Then I swapped for some pigment samples and I've been hooked ever since! But I also regret rejecting them for so long because I missed out on some great colors like Brass.

I can think of a few...
Mascara...I always thought I'd be perfectly content with drugstore mascara but I got sucked in after a makeover.
The 187 brush...I'm not a big brush person (not all my brushes are MAC/high-end) but the first time I tried it I was hooked and I use it every day. Love love love it.
Fix+...the first time I heard about this product, I thought, "useless" but I love the difference it makes in getting rid of the powdery look and it makes my skin feel awesome. Now I can't be without it.
It's funny, not only did I buy these things after saying I wouldn't, I LOVE them all now!

Porcelain Pink MSF. I honestly thought I would hate it but when I saw it I fell head over heels for it.

MAC lip glasses. I always said to myself I couldn't justify the prices, and Bourjois was good enough for me, that I should stick to the pigments and eye shades and blushes, but then I caved in: I got myself a Viva Glam V and a Wonderstruck....so pretty!!

for me it was the lip products.. i used to only use chapstick so seeing that the product was 14$ per item.. lipgelee & tlc & lippys.. i said i'll never buy it.. i somehow got a sample of the lipgelee and since then ive been in love.. ive branched out to tlc & lippys and now i have wayyyy too many lip products.. <3

I told myself I would never buy full-sized pigments because I would never be able to use up even a half jar. But I ended up getting 3 full-sized from She Shines and am contemplating getting more.
Like some of you, I also regret not getting into pigments earlier cos I've missed out on lots of great colours!

Lipsticks and pigments. I used to love lipglass, and never tried lipstick because I didn't like how it wasn't as shiny as lipglass. Now I hate lipglass for its stickyness and I love lipstick like no other. Haha. And I also said I wouldn't ever need a 15-pan, but here I am now, in need of one. Pigments I said I'd never get, but I've gotten samples now, and I sure do like 'em!
