I buy so much makeup that I don't even use right away lol. I will find it months later and become obsessed and then move on to the next obsession. I don't even need all the high end products I purchase, I guess its just a hobby lol.

Revlon Colorstay ,I can not stand it. It took way too much effort to blend in even after I blended it in for like 10 min it's still looked really cakey. It also broke me out really bad.

I once bought an elf mascara that was absolutely horrible, normally though I have pretty decent luck when I buy beauty products.

- Revlon Photoready foundation (made me break out + it feels itchy on my skin)
- Revlon Liquid Lipsticks (too drying, bad smell)
- Ambient Lighting powder in Radiant Light (couldn't figure out a way to use it personally)
- MAC Dazzleglasses (way too sticky)
- NARS Laguna (too light for my NC42 skin)
- Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-on Shadow Pencils in Sin and Lit (so hard to blend >.>)
There's probably more but these were ones that came to mind first. Yay for Sephora's return policy though :)

I agree with Hannah only with the naked 3! I really bandwagoned on this one because there were a lot of great reviews plus the hype of it. Also, Lorac CC cream is a killer on your skin! I will never buy facial products other then the palette from Lorac.

Damn Hannah. MAC lipsticks?
Also, only regret buying the wet n wild gel liner. Dried up sooo fast! I love everything else from them tho lol

Any Sephora eyeshadows: unpigmented, unblendable, not good at all. They are comparable to most drugstore eyeshadow.

Lorac Sensitive Skin Primer ( I love it as a primer but it's comedogenic ingredients and fragrances just break me out depending on where I concentrate it on. )
Most blushes ( I hate it... I love blushes but the series of red dyes they have in them are highly comedogenic and now I have two matching pimples on each cheek. )
LA girl single shadows. ( What is the point of this it doesn't even build up at all! )

I love seeing how many people don't like the revlon foundation. I found it to be awful! and I didnt love the maybelline fit me foundation... love the powder and concealer though!

-Anything covergirl!
-Maybelline BB Cream=OILY MESS
-Unfortunately starting to regret Anastasia dipbrow, at least until I exchange it for the right shade.
-Maybelline Fit Me: also an oily mess!
-Sephora Collection glittery eyeshadow. Since they reformulated, I don't mind the pigmentation, but the fallout is unreal.
There's probably more I just can't think of them right now!

Thought of more!!
- Any Elemis products apart from the muscle stuff
- Any Maybelline products. Never liked Maybelline and they break me out even when it's just a mascara
- BarryM eyeshadows. Too much fallout and NO PIGMENT EVEN WHEN BUILT UP :(
- MAC lipsticks. Drying and merh. Tried most of them and were a total waste of money. Gave them to my 10 year old cousin to mess around with.
- BarryM Gelly polish. Peels off within five seconds and takes years to dry.

Maybelline Fit Me.
Covergirl lipsticks.

I definitely regret spending too much money on Perricone MD products, they just don't produce results, justify the price tag & smell funny.

Oh my gosh... um...
probably wet n' wild lipstick in "retro"
their lipsticks are surprisingly nice... I love "black orchid" so it has nothing to do with the quality, its just the color looked really awful on me... pinks don't work on my skin tone. I'm better with reds and plums.

I'm honestly not too picky with makeup for some reason I literally love everything unless it breaks me out! Even if it's not amazing I can USUALLY find something to do with it. The only two that come to mind are:
•benefit watts up, literally the exact colour of my skin type. Of course I would be the exact same colour as my highlighter and not one shade darker or lighter😭
•physicians formula pearl highlighter- zero pigment, they literally sold me a rock.
Seems I don't have luck with highlighter hahaha to this day I just use a light concealer

Batiste dry shampoo
