I agree Clinique must be the worst. My daughter used Clinique for a while and her skin went all red and scaly. In the end she had to go to the dermatologist. It took her a year to have her skin return to normal and of course lots of my money!

oh yeah .. dislike the bare escentuals foundations.. the way the brush's fall apart on your chest when you are "buffing" and the way it separates on your face after application.
i do love their bronzer tho.. warmth Laughing

John Frieda's Sheer Blonde Luminous Color Glaze. I have med/dark blonde hair and this turned my hair into a weird red/blonde mix. Yuk! My hair may pick color up pretty easily - but this is not supposed to be a dye - although it acted like one..

Clinique - I keep going back (but no more) - a friend with sensitive skin swears by this. The "comforting cream cleanser" is thick and leaves my skin feeling dirty. The scrub is a painful sandpaper-y thing. And, it seems everyone is familiar with the toners and 3-step plan. I loved this stuff back in high school though..

Signature Club facial mask. It hurts to get that off - and doesn't do much of anything.

Paula's Choice sunscreen: too gloppy. I also don't like a sunscreen (KinEsys) that I purchased at Costco. It seemed such a good deal - but it's very oily.

Covergirl and drugstore cosmetics that smell of harsh perfumes are annoying. Like walking into a candle shop that smells of intense candy canes and such..

wow....you didnt like creme de la mer and Diorshow mascara? I hear so many great reviews about those 2 items


I also hate Dior Show Mascara! I returned it for a full refund. Wand is WAY too thick, and i couldn't reach my tiny lashes near inner eye. Drug store brands have come a LONG way, and i prefer the new plasticky wands out there. Awesome for applying a few coats, no clumping. I'll stick with CG Lash Blast or Maybelline Define-a-lash anyday.

First I would like to say that I don't think it is fair just to hate a product that you figure is too expensive, this should be about the performance of the product.

I hate
Clinique (of course)
Avon
Prevage
Elizabeth Arden
Smashbox
Murad
Proactiv
Retin A Micro

Proactive destroyed my face.
Mary Kay skin care line (but I did use their foundation for a while, and it seemed ok!)
Anything Lancome or Estee Lauder- Both are sooooo perfumey and made me break out like crazy.
The Maybeline mascara in the pink tube with the green lid- In every magazine all the celebrity makeup arists say it's the greatest mascara ever...and its pure crap! I don't get it...

Estee Lauder skincare. Actually most of the 'designer' skin care like Chanel, Lancome, etc...they are highly perfumed and they do not live up to their claims.

Wow, so many Clinique haters out there! I am no fan of their skincare, but I adore the Almost Lipstick in Black Honey.

Didn't like Diorshow.

Also didn't like Fiberwig mascara. Lengthening but it seems to straighten my lashes out - not cool.

Neutrogena mineral sheers makeup and blush... like the concept of the packaging (easy to carry in purse) but the built-in brush is way too harsh.

Okay I know I am really gonna get it from many of you, but I think the Clairsonic cleansing brush has been a waste of money...for me anyways. It did absolutely NOTHING for my skin, and I used it twice a day for about 2 months...now I hardly bother with it! I know tons of you rave about it, which is why I bought it, but I was disappointed big time. Crying or Very sad

I have to admit, Dior's moisturizers do nothing for me. Their make up is good, but the moisturizers were the biggest waste of money!

I also don't like l'occitanes shea butter lip balm. I think it is a very good moisturizer, but the taste is gross.

Most department brands aren't very good at all...I've never tried creme de la mere. some people love it...others, well, they totally dislike it. I wouldn't mind trying it.

Bare Escentuals was a total waste of money. Stuff made me look like death no matter how I tried to apply it.

Dr. Hauschka's liquid eyeliner- it came off in chunks 5 min. after I applied it, and I'm not exaggerating.

Lancome's Bifacil Makeup Remover- it's packaging is crap and leaks from the top all the time. I lost a huge amount and it was such a waste.

Lancome eye cream- it dried out my eye area so badly that i had to take it back. My eyes were so wrinkled, it looked like I was about 10 years older. Absolutely traumatic experience.

Most of E.L.F. cosmetics- the quality is terrible.

definatley Bare Escentials MMU.
The only things I likes were the mineral veil (used as a light dusting setting powder over my liquid foundation) and some of their eye glimmers. Everything else was a waste.

I totally agree about Lancome eye cream - my eyes actually looked worse after - more wrinkles and drier! Yes it was traumatic!!

Avon products - seem to give good results the first few days, then ...major irritation and breakout occurs!
