For me it's definitely
-Estée Lauder double wear, dried me out so bad and sat on top of my skin even when blended
-too faced better than sex - I got the trial size and unless I got a defected one the brush is so dry when pulling it out it literally does nothing for my lashes
-urban decay primer potion in Eden - too drying on my lids, I plan on switching to a Mac paint pot
-Mac lipstick in flesh pot - washes me out so bad it looks like I have concealer on my lips!!

What are yours?

OMG I love better than sex and fleshpot!! ahhhh.

For me it would be
-Estee Lauder Double Wear concealer, made me break out and was too matte for my liking

-Tarte Blush Pallet, the blush adheres almost dry to my skin.. and pigment is slim to none

-Mac Zoom lash, did nothing for my lashes and literally made them look like I had no mascara on

-MUFE Primer in Green, again made me break out but it also did nothing for my skin prior to the breakout

Maybelline Fit Me Dewy, it looked cakey and crusty up close. Covergirl coverstick concealer, it came off whenever even slightly touched. NYX tinted brow mascara, it felt like glue and made my brows look ridiculously shapeless and heavy. Maybelline great lash, it left me with flat, nearly invisible lashes every time. It's interesting to hear you didn't like double wear, Dana, I keep hearing it's bad, but it seemed so hype a few months ago!

I just feel I'm so fair that fleshpot makes me look like a ghost :(

I have normal to dry skin so maybe it's just me Kayla? Not sure but also they couldn't find a shade to fit me right. Even the light shades were too orange based for me.

Me too, I'm so glad you told me, now I'll steer clear! Thank you for saving me a trip to Sephora, lol 😉

Boscia Black Luminizing Mask! So painful and I saw literally no difference in my skin after use. Too Faced Born This Way foundation, not good for oily skin! Even with primer, it was literally all gone off my face by mid day!

Diorahow Iconic Overcurl Mascara. It's ok, but I liked it more when I tried it on in Sephora (I wasn't wearing any mascara when I tried it on). Maybe I'll like it better when it dries up a bit.

I never really regret buying things because I just return them straight away but I greatly disliked the NYX High Voltage Lipsticks and I feel like I'm the only one that didn't like them. It had zero staying power, like I went to blot my lips after the first application (like I do with every lipstick) and literally all the color transferred onto the tissue and I had to reapply it all over again.

Maybelline Color Whisper - I bought one in the shade Rose of Attraction and the product was way too shimmery. Glittery even.

Revlon blush in Oh Baby! Pink - Did not show up on my skin at all, though my skin is very light so it may have something to do with it.

Maybelline Fit Me Concealer - I bought this in the lightest shade intending to cover the couple of acne scars on my forehead but it ended up being way too orange. Also it looked cakey on my skin, even when I put my DIY Fix+ over it

Estee lauder double wear foundation- the lightest shade is still super dark on my skin, not cruelty free
Cover FX custom cover drops- Super drying, not worth the hassel of having to mix imo
Lancome teint idole ultra 24 hr foundation. Cakey, makes me oily even though I have dry skin.
Maybelline the nudes palette- HORRIBLE. Not pigmented, patchy, chalky
Benefit high beam- breaks up foundation
Benefit They're Real- painfully spiky brush, not enough volume
There are so many more haha, but like alexis I always return products I don't like!

I rarely really regret buying a product! We have a "no return" policy in my country on products (if they have been opened) so I do tons of research before buying anything.

But I must say that I was so excited when I bought the Benefit They're Real mascara and Push up liner.
The mascara I don't really like and never use! And up untill recently I never used the push up liner either - But a couple of weeks ago I dug it out and tried it again and all of a sudden I figured out how to use it! And now I kind of like it!

Last year I bought the Maybelline Better Skin foundation and it did nothing good for my skin, it sat weird and looked dry and patchy - So I ended up throwing it out within a month!

I normally return what I don't like so I can't remember them all, but my recent regret purchases are..

Revlon Color stay pressed setting powder (the one in the black compact)... it just looked really bad to be honest and did nothing to 'blur' pores and fine lines, contrary it emphasized everything. It was like $12.00 for that little thing and my RCMA powder does wayyy more and came in a mayonnaise sized jar.

Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat Blur Perfector.. I don't what it was supposed to do, I still don't. It's supposed to be this balm that you apply and it blurs out stuff but I'm still waiting for that to happen. I Think it's better off as decor.

Origins Charcoal mask.. didn't look at the ingredients, just went by reviews... Didn't have it on longer than 2 seconds before I started wailing around like a distressed bird :< it burns! Sensitive skin just never wins =\

Kat Von D eyeliner from TJMaxx.. No more make up from TJMaxx :| What I tried at Sephora was distinctly different from the one at TJMaxx.


And adding some recent good buys :)
Kevyn Aucoin The Contour Book II... Officially the best contour palette on the market! You have the perfect cool toned sculpting powder & highlighter, along with his cream version and some other shadows. I can fill in my brows using the other colors... and the little shadow quads you have his 'Brighten' shade which really does brighten beautifully, the starlight which is seriously gorgeous on the cheeks, the cool tan which looks nice on my brows and that ruddy earth color is something I'm just waiting to incorporate in my eyeshadow.

YSL Touche Eclat.. This foundation really enhances your complexion, it's not full coverage but I don't use under eye concealer with it because it has such a nice effect on my skin that my under eyes don't seem like a big deal. I get loads of compliments wearing this, and it doesn't go nutty by the end of my shift! I've been wearing it everyday so far and I love it.

Chikuhodo Takumi Series T-6 Large Eye Shadow- I am going to buy 1 more of these because of how functional it is. I've been using it to apply highlighter, under eye concealer, and I can use it to create a smokey eye. It's just awesome and a must have brush.

Inglot Gel liner in 76 (white)... I put this on my lower waterline and it looks fake... I mean like if someone photoshopped and enhanced white eyeliner and added sharpness to it... it was seriously insane.

Viseart Neutral mattes... heaven. You haven't loved matte neutral colors until you've tried out this babe.. the colors are absolutely stunning and the quality of this palette is just pure perfection.

Regrets:
urban decay perversion mascara-I loved the primer but the mascara doesn't create enough volume for my lashes
Abh cream contour- personal regret because I haven't gotten the hang out it! Does anyone have an suggestions? The highlight shades are not creamy enough

Maybeline better skin foundation- again, could be user error but the mousses texture gives me an uneven coverage..and it didn't sit well on my skin.

Awesome purchases:
Hour glass bronzer-beautiful color and texture
Mac velvet teddy-finally picked this up!
Maybeline match master concealer-amazing full coverage for the face and even looks good under the eyes when using a damp beauty blender

Becca liquid highlight in moonstone-I use this mixed in my foundation or as a typical highlight. I have oily skin (t zone) but this looks so beautiful!!

I've also pretty much regretted all lippies from the drugstore. The only drugstore makeup I don't regret is; mascara, 1 Maybelline palette, a couple of Revlon Cream Shadow palettes and the liquid LUMI highlighter.

I regret buying COVERGIRL Lash perfection mascara, there is literally barely anything in the bottle. My eyelashes felt glued together and it was from one swipe, not worth 4 dollars.
