beige-ing shadestick. It's hard to use and so it just sits in my makeup drawer.
Which MAC items do you wish you hadn't bought - Spin Off

Hepcat e/s, it just does not apply well on me. And Snowgirl l/g, I don't know what I was thinking, I'm not 5, I don't need Christmas colored glitter on my lips lol

New Vegas is great if you scratch some off and use it wet with fix + under foundation, applied with a light hand. It makes my skin glow. I also like to apply all of my MES with fix+ for better color payoff.
I wish I hadn't bought
-Trax e/s, I ended up giving it away because it was never as pretty as it looked in the pan
-Politely Pink l/s, I think its way too light for me and I dont know what to do with it
-Pink Bronze full size pigment, it kind of looks like a healing bruise on me, Im not sure why I got this at all..I dont even like orange. Maybe it will look better once I have a tan in the summer.

LMFAO!! I actually love Glissade!! But maybe because I turn albino white in the winter, I love it.
Unlike the majority here, I really don't regret getting full size pigments. I love mixing them with others or mixing them white nail polish or whatever else! Though I do kind of regret getting Fuchsia, just because it seems to fade rather quickly and it nothing really specials. And Kitschamas. What was I thinking? At least I only bought a quarter jar for $3. That stuff is crap. Same thing for Frozen pigment, thank the lord I bought a sample ahead of time.
Stars N Rockets is sort of the same deal. It looks gorgeous in the pan, but fade quickly and takes a caffeine-jacked-up effort to get any payoff.
And it sort of goes without saying, but MES. The color payoff just sucks. Earthly Riches has somewhat better, but nothing to really warrant its value.

I don't know the name of it because the sticker came off, but it's a mauve colored lip gelee. I tried to make use of it applying it over a lipstick that I also regretted getting which was Stroke of Lust l/s.
Industry power point. I just don't have any use for it. I mainly use either black or brown e/l
Phloof eyeshadow. Again, I never really reach for it.
Viva Glam Vl lipglass. I made myself use this so there is a little left, but never again would I purchase it.
All of the foundations I bought and loose powder (I no longer have)
I have many other m/u regrets from other lines as well.

Thought of a couple more, too:
Vivacious l/s - it's just so bright!! I had to buy Spring Bean to tone it down so I could wear it.
The couple of 3-D lipglasses I have. There's hardly any color payoff with them and when I do get some color...it looks all wrong.

Ether MES. I don't have problems with glitter fallout like a lot of other people do with the Flashtronic MES's, but Ether doesn't even come close to being blue on me. And I have one that has lots of marbling. It just looks black or grey on me, no matter which section(s) I use. It's not a flattering look for me: I look like I got beaten up or have some type of clotting disorder.
On the bright side, I swapped for it
So at least I'm not out any additional money.

Basically any item I bought once, swapped or B2M'd, and then re-bought or got thru Gone but not Forgotten....I regretted it just as much the second time around! LOL This would include Shroom, Lucky Green and Moth Brown. Even though they get alot of raves they just do not work with my coloring. Also New Weed fluidline, not because it doesn't work on me but because I just never reach for it even after re-buying it on Ebay! Ugh! When will I learn to trust my first impressions? I almost bought Shroom again yesterday...

shadestick-Taupographic, hardly never use it.
cream color base- shell, UDPP is way better.
skin prep and prime, do i really need this?
and i think that select moisturecover nw25, i dont think she gave me the right color for my skin.

Full size pigments - I didn't buy a lot of them thankfully but I'll never use them up. Hell, I won't use up the samples I have.
Fresh Cement shadestick - I don't know what to use this for.
Ether MES - just like Captodometer, this just doesn't look right on me. I love all the other MES, but this one... I get no teal colour, and the fallout is horrible.
That said, I love my collection. However, now I feel I don't want to buy anything more for a long time. I have acquired so much in less than a year's time, I haven't had the chance to really use what I do have. It stresses me out, lol!
