Products I regret buying..

Hello lovelies!

Do you have any products you regret buying?
I DO!! I only have a few though.

So.. here's one.
Everybody knows what this is right?
The Hello Kitty Lucky Tom palette!!!!
I got this palette mostly for the packaging and the blue purple color.
What a disappointment!
The blue purple color is not pigmented at all.
It doesn't show up very well even with my trust worthy UDPP and painterly.
I tried to love it for months, but I just can't stop regretting that I spent 60,000 KRW (about 50USD. Yes Mac is expensive here) on this palette. Boooo!!!


Next, the everyday minerals foundation.
When I bought this, I thought it was going to be amazing for oily skin since it is in loose powder form. But I was wrong!
It gets so oily after about an hour of application and I hate it!!
I liked how it is so quick and easy to apply and how it gives good coverage but I completely stopped using it now. I still looooove the EDM brush though.


Anyways, what are on your list of "things I regret buying?"?
Let me know so I can be extra careful in case I want those. :)

Here are FOTDs from yesterday and the day before :)



I used CS 28 neutral palette.
On my lips, MAC Cream Cup.
I tried to keep it simple and natural. I didn't even line my bottom lash line.

Aqua Blue Look




I used the Urban Decay Deluxe Palette.
I tend to wear less bright colors during fall/winter but I loved this look.

Thanks for visiting :)

xoxo

thanks for sharing to us your "regret buying" list, I don't purchase quads or those LE palettes from MAC as I won't be liking all the colors! I have the Heatherette palette 2 and I don't use it much!

Very helpful I love these kind of posts :).

I dislike when I buy makeup that does little to nothing on me. THen again, that usually happens to me when buying clothes online. HAHAH. I never know the sizes.. hahaha

NYX trios are terrible! They aren't too expensive (about $7USD) .. but the quality is awful. I bought two of them thinking I just got a dud in the first one but it turns out I'm not the only one who has had bad luck with them. Stay away!!

Thanks for that! I'm not too wild about MAC's LE palettes, and I always seem to regret buying cheap mascara!

i like the aqua blue on ur lids. hmm let's see. There are so many stuff i regret buying but the one thing I will remember is to be careful when u buy dior lip glosses. I had one 2 yrs ago and I will never forget how the contents seeped out and ruined my fav makeup pouch after a week of usage. when i brought it back to the dior counter, the SA just told me that it has never happened and I didn't get any sort of refund at all:(

Aww, I love EDM. Have you tried using a better moisturizer? I noticed after I finally figured out my skincare routine I got about 10x less oily over the course of the next 3 months. Their Natural Reflections finishing powder on my t-zone helps too.

I totally agree with you about the Lucky Tom Palette though... I kinda wish I had gotten Too Dolly instead, but I basically did just buy it for the packaging and it looked like the more neutral palette. I raaarely ever grab for it, and only to use the gold. =/

What a great idea for a post!
I thought about doing one myself...but there would just be too many products to list...
Sigh, I am such an impulse buyer.

i completely agree with the mac hello kitty pallete... i bought it for the packaging too and now it sits in my drawer. and the payoff sucks!!!! i was very disappointed =/. but for the everyday minerals have u tried using a primer underneath? i really like the foundations it was excellent coverage

Ooo I love the pretty turquoise/aqua blue color on your eyes~ I think I should go check out some urban decay shadows.

LOLanne said...

wawaweeewahh i liiiiike the aqua blue look :) soooo bright and vibrant buuut at the same time doesnt look "too much"

btw, it's crazy how much the hk palette costs there!! bahhh... oh well, you guys have access to alll the asian cosmetic brands soooo i guess that evens it out ;)

Angela said...

nice reviews. I heard about everyday minerals and really want to try it. I love my bare minerals but want to see if i can find a cheaper alternative. I guess it's not that good.

Wow $50!? That's a lot, but I supose it was totally worth it huh? :)

hevn said...

wow.. tis two looks just went into my list of favourite EOTD, they are simple yet very very nice.

Good work Naomi!

Fifi said...

MAC is also really expensive here :(
And aww that's so uncool about the palette. I thought all MAC shadows are pigmented?

I think I regretted buying LA colors eyeshadow palettes. They're too shimmery and chalky for me. They're cheap though so it's nothing compare to the MAC palette. Hehe~

I love your aqua blue EOTD. Just beautiful :)

Sarah said...

Ohh I feel your pain :( I regret buying MAC's Too Dolly palette- the colours just don't do me justice and I admittedly bought it based on the hype and packaging! Bummer!!!

Yumeko said...
