What ONE product did you buy that was a total let down?

For me, it was the Beauties Factory 120 warm palette.  It was newly on the market when I bought it so there wasn't any reviews or YouTubes of it.  Let me say I was TOTALLY let down when I got it.  There's no pigmentation and all the shadows are extremely chalky.  This is one makeup product that will permanently sit on my shelf till I give it away.  What's your dust collector????

For me it was the Too Faced lip insurance, I bought it hoping it would make my lipstick and lipgloss last longer but all it does is drying them out!!! All the lipsticks turn matte and dry into clumps in the corner of my lips and as soon as I drink from a glass half of the lipstick is gone, absolutely worthless product!

Maybelline Wet/Watershine lipstick.

It was grainy in texture, not as glossy as I expected and coverage was poor.

MUFE HD Foundation, looked horribly greasy and shiney on me. I wanted so bad to love it /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Revlon Colorstay powder.  It was like I just pasted my face with flour.  It didn't blend into my skin and just sat on top of my makeup.  I thought maybe because the foundation was great that the powder would be good too.

L'Oreal True Match foundation...It was flakey, and then it wouldnt come off! It just smeared around my skin. I was not impressed.I like the powder though, although I think I need a lighter shade. 

urban decay surreal cream to powder foundation compact. coverage is only okay, feels nice on the skin HOWEVER the pot is literally 2 mm thick! had a whole in the middle by a week not worth the money!

Pop Spakle sauce, it's supposed to give any shadow a pretty golden sheen, I didn't notice anything!

Maybelline Colorsensational Lipstain - I thought a stain would *stain* my lips, but it's gone after an hour.

L'Oreal Voluminous. Carbon Black, Naturale, Waterproof, Curved brush. Bought multiple times in multiple incarnations, and it never works for me. Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua. No colour match. Not nessecarily the fault of Chanel, but it really makes me sour! Revlon PhotoReady foundation. CoverFX Brite Prep SPF50. Great sun protection, brightening, and promise of a dewier finish? Absolute disaster. Greasy, metallic sheen, silver overcast, and did absolutely nothing for face makeup longevity.

smashbox gel eyeliner, biggest mistake ever.

L'oreal Studio Secrets Magic Perfecting base.  According to them, this was supposed to help with smoothening your face and creating a nice canvas to work with when putting on makeup..also to keep away grease....well....it created nothing of the sort...It felt good...nice and smooth when I just got it on...and within one minute (no exaggeration) it was gone....absolute waste of money.

Pores no more Pore Refiner by Dr. Brandt - too much money and not enough results. 

Charlotte Island false tan by LUSH.

I was so excited about this product when it first came out because I love LUSH and usually find their products amazing.

This stuff had rave reviews and was selling out quick so I ran to my local LUSH store and bought two large bottles of the stuff.

Tried it once and it was terrible. It turned my skin a brick red sort of colour and came off flakey everywhere. Thank god it washes off!

So two full bottles sit on my dresser until I can find someone to take them from me... only upside is it smells nice.

Mac slip pink e/s .............no pigmentation at... ALL...

 

Yeah it's a shame! I love the product but holy crap.. so expensive and SO little product.
