Which MAC items do you wish you hadn't bought - Spin Off

[concertina]

Vegas Volt - its just...wow...*ORANGE!!*

Beauty Marked - I'm just not skilled enough to figure out how to use this e/s. Its just so...powdery and flaky with no payoff and makes me look dead...

 

[lunastars]

Prep and Primer primer.. broke me out!

 

[animacani]

Bronzing powder in matte bronze , eyeshadow in pink venus.

 

[BlahWah]

I can't believe I'm saying this, but all the blushes I bought before the Sonic Chic blushes. I only have two of the SC's but if I could own the whole collection, the rest of my blushes would be in the Clearance Bin in a heart beat!

Ochre Style - melts into my skin a bit too well.
Bare Fetish l/g, La-di-bra! l/s - how to wear these without looking dead, only NW people know...
Shimpagne msf - like my pores need more attention!
Glissade msf - the colour just isn't worth the glitter imo
Flashtronic mrs - see above!
Electro Sky e/s - refuses to blend.
Dollymix quad - pretty but incredibly dupeable, esp. w/ the new shadows coming out.

Definitely glitters- they would have been nice back in the late 90s when I was in my "raver" phase, but not so much now that I am a mommy and starting a professional career.

Another one is Chicky lipglass stain! Several years ago I had an event and went to MAC to get my m/up done and the MA used this on top of something else. Well, I purchased it not realizing it looked nice on me simply b/c it was over something else. Long story short, I have only used it twice and its sitting in my drawer feeling very neglected.
That's about all I can think of ATM, and I've been buying MAC since about '95 so I guess that's pretty good!

I dont know WHY I bought it!..

I actually adore Impassioned. For me, the colour is fantastic. If you don't want yours and still have it, feel free to send it my way.

The MAC item I have and really dislike (mind you, it was given to me and I thankfully didn't buy it) are the bloody eyelash curlers. We don't get along. I'm one of those girls that thinks they look like torture tools anyway, and for me, these actually feel like it. There is NO WAY to get these curlers around my lashes so that it gets them all properly, and so that they don't pinch. UGH. The curve on them just does NOT work for me AT ALL. They sit there and I glare at them.

 

[cutiebe2]

the brow duo...embark or handwritten works just as well. The duo is lost somehwere in my room and I haven't bothered to find it

 

[darkishstar]

Fafi lipsticks:
Flash-N-Dash
Not So Innocent
Fafi Eyes 2

Hate myself for getting suckered by packaging.

 

[stacylynne]

Parrot e/s - I don't know what all the hype is about, swatched it 1x, hate it

I was going to get the MES e/s but after reading this I think I will pass.

 

[Pinkylicious]

Bang on blue e/s
worst....

no color payoff...

 

[deven.marie]

fafi eyes 2 quad.

i even depotted it and put it into my palettes so i would use the colors, but i STILL dont ever use them.
ugh.

wow really? I cant even figure out a way to appropriatly wear this. I dont even know HOW or WHERE I could wear it! Where do you wear it??? lol

 

[zeroxstar]

everything on my swap list! lol!
... but most of all: fairylite pigment (ew chalky & glittery), indie girl l/s, stereo rose MSF (thankfully i was able to sell it), any a million quad/palettes that i bought for the packaging/one color!

 

[infernalmachine]

i regret way more of my d/s purchases but luckily they were cheap.

the only MAC one i have so far.... Plum Dressing e/s. i have NO IDEA how this is a veluxe pearl. it's chalk!

if i really wanna go purple i have to put this one on with my fingers. makes me cry, coz it's so pretty.

 

[mtrimier]

Love Connection and Two to Glow MES.
Gone to hell on my lids in less than an hour, regardless of base/brush/wet/dry. Like my eyeballs just sucked it through my lids.

I wear it on my lips!

Honestly, I'm not one who is afraid of colour in the least. I wear bright colours on an ordinary day, be it at home doing laundry, out running errands or getting fancy for a night on the town. So... yeah. Anywhere.

 

[LoveMac26]

Definitely Frost and Mauvement pigment. Both are chunky, glittery messes that I bought during the "Its MAC so I must have it" phase.

The more I try to use them, the more they upset me.

 

[SparklingWaves]

I got these, because they look so great on others.

Blue Brown Pigment looked like radioactive toxic poop on my eyes no matter what I did with it. I was so sad about that. It was so highly recommended.

C-Shock lipstick look like I had Pepto Bismol on my lips.

Every time that wore Burnin' lipstick, I got questioned if I was into some new dark cult worship. What?!

 

[geeko]

I totally regretted buying Light flush msf!

It oxidised on me to become TOTALLY ORANGE ON ME at the end of the day..

BOO!! none of my other MAC blushers or msfs have done that on me...

and i also regret buying CLUB. No matter how much i try to make it work for me, it just makes my eyes look bruised. It's an over rated e/s imo.

and rouge noir lipstick....Too red for me. I ended up giving this lipstick to my mum who is more into brighter color lipsticks than me.

 

[foxyqt]

one more for me: Patina eyeshadow.. this thing doesnt show up at ALL! and Im NC20..
