Mix them in nail polish that takes a good amount out of it.

Smolder eye kohl is really intense and soft but it doesn't stay put!

I so agree with this one! I have engraved, it's horrible! I wish I hadn't bought it either. I really wish I didn't have the asian oily lids either. It works for my friend!

lol only my first 4 products from MAC.
-oh baby lipglass (shouldn't have listened to the reviews--ugliest gloss i've ever owned)
-enchantress lip glass-wasn't flattering on me
-liquid concealer-hated it didn't cover nething
-print eyeshadow-why didn't i just get carbon?? this is my black. this is what I use for black. because i don't have a real black. i'm dumb

Hmmm Engaging mes. It looked awesome in the MAC counter light, but I have no use for it. Definitely too many full jar p/g.

 

[foreverymoment]

I thought I only had one I regretted -- frikkin' endless love e/s i HATE it...no color payoff whatsoever!

then i started thinking...and came up with the rest of my list:
Newly Minted e/s (no color payoff)
Lady Bug l/s (it kinda slips on my lips and it's just...ugly)
Rose e/s (only because it looks almost identical to Da Bling)
Fairy Lite pigment (glittery mess all over your face)
Amorous l/s (i needed it for a show, but i should have found something better...that i can wear...)
Boundless 3-D glass (sheer, Red Romp is SO much better)
Vellum e/s (I wanted a white, and this is what i ended up with...i need to trust my instincts...i knew i didn't want it, but somehow i convinced myself i DID? wtf.)

other than those, i love EVERYTHING i own.

Masque lipstick. I don't have a freestanding, so I ordered it online. Oh. My. God. Way too pale for me. You think the name would have been a good hint? I'm thick.

Wow, there are a lot I regret buying:

Lipliners-- cos I just end up ignoring them and putting my lipsticks/glasses straight away.

#194 concealer brush-- I find the bristles so abrasive especially for my undereye area...I absolutely hate this brush.

Brow Shaders-- My Charcoal Brown and Espresso eyeshadows are already perfect enough for my brows.

Full-sized pigments-- I already have a lot of e/s that I use more and with my busy schedule, I want to avoid the mess of dealing with piggies. And I have a lot of colors that I have no use for.

Perky lipglass-- It looks exactly like the Lull lipglass I already have!

Pink eyeshadows-- I just don't like how pink looks on me.

Coppering e/s-- I know a lot of you love this e/s but on me, it looks too red-orange for my taste.

Chill e/s-- Totally useless for me and doesn't stick to my skin at all.

Prep+Prime eye-- Doesn't work on me at all and even creases on its own.

Studio Fix pressed powder in NC45-- A MAC MUA told me that this would be a great shade for contouring but totally looks ugly and obvious on me.

Ive ended up getting both, and i hardly ever wear pinks coz they just look like my eye is swollen

(pink is my fave colour so i wish i could)

Oh, and the 190 brush instead of the 187 brush, now i have to wait to buy the 187 and the 190 makes me streaky!!

Pink Freeze = crap!

 

[natalie75]

Pearl CCB - no idea what to do with it

lustre eyeshadows and too many MAC Barbies

too few Yogamodes

I do buy some fullsize pigments and used them very little until I started pressing them. Now I use them all the time!

I also bought some 5g containers and frequently give them away to girls at work or my neice, they LOVE it.

I've just made a 15 palette for my daughter for Christmas of pressed pigments. Hopefully, she will enjoy it.........

What a great and lovely idea!

Liquid Mineral Foundation...yuk

 

[jenii]

Lovely Lily pigment. I'm so fair, but it just does NOT show up for me, not even with Artdeco e/s base. It might just be the worst pigment I've ever had. Which is sad, since it looks so gorgeous in the jar.

Come to think of it, add Helium to that list too. I just don't have much use for that one.

Those are really the only two pigments I've got that I don't use.

Other than that, I should never have bought Black Tied e/s. I don't use it, I don't like it.

Also, I really should stop buying Lipglasses, because I don't end up using them.

 

[DominicanBarbie]

helium pigment at a cco store.such a pretty color but it just falls of ..It's like clumpy. I dont know if I got a bad one but it sucks.

 

[JGmac]

ALL lipsticks and lipglasses. I have since become allergic and had to give $200 worth of it away.

Oh, and Nightlight pigment. What the hell am I going to do with all of that green??

Newly minted looks pretty cool over pharaoh paint pot from the Mqueen collection. I use the #242 brush I find it packs on e/s's better than the #239.

Can you please show us a swatch of that. I just returned my newly minted because of the no color payoff. But maybe I'll reconsider it if it looks good on top of pharaoh.

 

[nikki]

I can't stand Rich Ground fluidline.
looked pretty when I swatched it, but not pretty on my eyes!!!!

 

[lvgz]

i got sharkskin s/s a year and a half ago (i remember bc i was in cali). ive touched it TWICE. wtheck. it creases on me, even over udpp. ive sworn off s/s for life now. haha

and this years metallic pallet. i only like two of the colors, the one that looks like blue brown and the black one with gold reflects. the rest = glittery MESS. im still considering returning it but i feel bad returning stuff. maybe i should just keep it for the two colors.
