Hm... for me, LOTZ OF STUFF THAT I WISH I HADN'T BOUGHT WHEN I RECEIVE MY CREDIT CARD BILL BY THE END OF THE MONTH!!!

MAC cosmetics 04/01
MAC cosmetics 04/04
MAC cosmetics 04/07
MAC cosmetics 04/11 ....
the list goes on and on...

well... I REALLY do wish that I hadn't bought some of the LE stuff... (I bought them just becuz they were LE, and then I realized I never got the chance to touch them...) should've waited for a while then purchase~ *sigh*

Here's my list:
sweetness beauty powder (because I saw a better one came out... the blush that was included in dress camp, so much better than sweetness!)
carbon e/s (*sigh*... I use it as an e/l, wut a waste since I already have 20 something e/lz)
lollipop loving (stupid reason, I first bought it, then I realized it looks better to pair up w/ sock hop, then I had to spend extra $$$ for sock hop *tears*)

There are so many products that I regret recently. Here is my list...

Antiquitease MES... sold them all
Off the Radar... what an ugly colour for me. I hate orange e/s.
Novel Twist pearlizer... useless product for me. I have used it once.
CShock e/s... they looked so pretty in the pot but putting them on... HORRIBLE. I sold them all.
Trax... the colour doesn't look right on me.

I can't think of anymore right now but I am sure I have several more.

Vapour Eyeshadow

Rushmetal Pigment: I actually have two of these now and they're driving me crazy

Dual Edge Pencil Black Funk/Pop Blue: So pretty but they smudge in like 30 seconds

Pink Lemonade l/g. I love the colour but the consistency sucks and no matter how carefully I try to apply it it looks terrible. I wonder if that's the case with all the lipglosses..

So many things:

- Girlie eyeshadow. It looked great for my Snowgirl makeover, but pink near my eyes is always a bad idea, especially if I don't have a pro MUA to put it on...

- Folio and Chelsea lipsticks. First-time mistakes, see "First MAC product thread"...

- Breath of Plum blush. Not flattering on me at all.

- Honesty eyeshadow. Bad texture, hard to apply!

- Prr lipgloss. Porn star lips, just general bad for my Asian skintone.

- Pervette lipstick. AMAZING colour for someone with pinkier skintone. Looked horrific on me, but I loved the colour anyway...

Dear Rachel

QUIT BUYING FREAKIN SHADESTICKS! Just because Mangomix and Corn are discontinued, does NOT mean you need to buy it or that it will look good on you!

Love,

Your Wallet

P.S. You never use shadesticks anyways!
 
i wish i hadn't gotten the sculpt and shape duo in warm light/definitive. if i had just waited, i could have followed MACArtistFauryn's lead and used blunt for contour, which is much prettier. let's see, what else....hey sailor l/g, era e/s, rollickin' p/p, and hollywood nights l/s, which is gorgeous but to va-va-va-voom for me LOL!

Nighthawk/Front Row e/l - OMG. I fight so much with this thing. I put it on (never touched the Front Row end :S) and it smudges EVERYWHERE. I cannot for the life of me get it right. I've learned how to make it look good and even but it still gets everywhere and if I accidently touch my eyes? Forget it, its over. I need just a regular, brown eyeliner -_-.

High Top l/s - I LOVE this color but I don't know how to wear it. And its a glaze which I've found I just don't like.

Money, Honey Dazzleglass - Sticky, glittery... Yuck. I don't like it at all. I got mine on eBay like a month before they came out and was kind of hoping it was a fake since I didn't like it but, alas, it was real....

I would have regretted Fafi Eyes 2 but I didn't buy it LOL. I bought Fafi Eyes 1 and they sent me the wrong one and I was told to keep Fafi Eyes 2 and they sent me quad 1! But I'm soooo glad I didn't spend all that money on quad 2 :S. Quad 1, however, is BEAUTIFUL.

I don't even have that big of a collection, yet I already have a bunch of things I regret buying. Such as:

Northern Lights MSF - too glittery
Take Wing quad - bruised eyes don't look good on me
Kitchmas - does not stay on my eye, just falls onto my face
Blue Brown pigment - where's the blue? just turns reddish brown on me
Lustre e/s - glittery fall-out mess
Fresh Buzz l/s - frosty lips not good

Melrose Mood l/s and Hollywood Nights l/s from the Heatherette collection. My NC40-42 skin cannot pull these l/s off. REGRET BIG TIME.

Willing to swap/sell these.

I actually like it now! LOL I found a way to make it work for me. I also wet my brush with a mixing medium a tiny bit and it goes on a lot smoother.
