So I heard everyone rave about MAC prolong wear concealer. I bought it and I did not care for it at all. In my own opinion it was too watery and I felt I wasted a lot of product with just one pump! I used it for over 2 weeks (I wasn't going to give up! I tried every method in the book!) but I just couldn't see what the fuss was about! I totally regret it. Not worth the hype in my opinion. I love hearing what my fellow makeup addicts think! What are products that you regret or think isn't worth the hype?

Mac studio fix fluid!!😖😖junk in a bottle, I hate the way it oxidized orange, and it tore my face up so bad.

Bobbi Brown liquid foundation, I love the corrector and concealer, but really feel like the foundation is just really nothing special for the price and I almost never reach for it.

My most recent regret...NYC lipgloss. My lips cropped up with these little bumps. I was wearing it everyday for a week and I loved the color and the scent. I was so bummed out. :(

I love the Pro Longwear but agree the pump is really wasteful. I always try to squeeze out like 1/2 a pump instead of a full one but it never works lol. My recent regrets are Philosophy Keep The Peace Moisturizer, MAC Fluidline in Past Twilight, Garnier Dark Circle roller ball thing, and NARS lip gloss :)

Highlighter from becca tons of glitter, derma dr serum and eye balm (did nothing at all), nyx lippie in harmonica (made me look like a corpse) and the elf highlighter/concealer burned my eyes. Been trying drug store product for the first time in years and it hasn't been great

Every high end mascara (I.e. Diorshow, etc.). They were never worth the higher price. I go with Maybelline The Falsies and it works better.

When the maybelline color tattoos came out I went and bought almost all the colors and I totally regret it. The crease so bad on me and I've tried with and without primer.

Sharifa, I use a brush and pat translucent powder over the top, they creased on me too, but that stopped it from happening.

Loreal lumi.. it feels heavy and the color dorsnt match. I've been trying to make it work by using my loved fitME n a lighter shade go thin out the consistency and lighten to my shade. no way! still feels heavy..
I may try one more time. lol..
some Revlon lippies. wanted va va violet for the longest but its too sheer eventho its a cream and looks like streaks to me.. ;-)

@sharifa, I agree with Kelly try that. sounds like oil. mine only crease of its hot out and I'm wearing it all day. oil.

Sonia Kashuk Neutral 12 shadow palette. OMG the pigmentation is horrible and they come off chalky. I can't believe people love this product. Sephora eye brow pencil, so not worth the 12 bucks. Maybelline define a brow is way better and so is the Cover girl brow pencil.

Ok thank you Kelly H and Naomi S ill give it another try. Fingers crossed.

The garnier spot corrector, felt gross and did nothing for my skin.

@Lisa Sounds like you picked the wrong undertone, most foundations oxidize because people choose one for the wrong undertone.
@Naomi, sounds like you have a defective product since Lumi isn't a thick foundation at all, and rather sheer.
Things I regret are MUFE HD Foundation... why am I going to pay money for something so little that doesn't do what everyone claims it does? I don't believe in layering any foundation that's that pricey. I feel like my BB cream did a much better job...
Cargo eyelighter - You'd have to live under a rock if you believe in this product. ( And should probably re-introduce yourself to the concept of eyeshadows... lol.) If it wasn't for the fact that I was a complete noob at makeup and the second thing I ever got, I wouldn't ever look at it.
These are the only ones I can think of out of the top of my head... luckily when I first got into make up I did research so I don't have a lot of bad buys. Thank god for internet!!

@kitty. you ain't lying about research n the internet.. I totally agree.
maybe I do have a bad batch. that's always an option.. in bought it b the summer n saved it for now as it felt heavy. so its my summer shade. I.was thinkn of buying another and mixing it but I don't know.
the only other thing I hated was maybelline lash stiletto. it came with a liquid eye liner. love the liner, hate the mascara. ;-)
