Have you ever bough a product you knew you’d never use?
Beautiful with brains says: nope. I’ve bought shades I knew I’d use rarely (such as bright fuchsia lip shades, which are beautiful but I don’t wear much because I usually prefer to emphasize my eyes), and they were all from drugstore brands. Of course sometimes I buy a product which turns out not too work for me and so I never use it again, but I’d never buy something that I knew in advance I wouldn’t use just to collect it.

I always buy products I have good intentions of using, but if it’s something out of my comfort zone, I’ll just buy a cheap drugstore version. That’s just in case it won’t work out and I’d never wear it again, I’m not out too much money:)

JennySue, that’s what I do too. There’s no point in spending a lot of money if you think you won’t use a product a lot. Especially since drugstore brands have stepped up their game lately and you can buy wonderful products at very affordable prices.
No, I never know that beforehand. I always buy things with good intentions, but some stuff doesn’t work out. That’s usually in the eyeliner category. I bet if I looked through my eyeliner drawer right now, I’d find, like, 10 liners I never use. At least.

Trisha, I have bought lots of products that didn’t work for me and are now collecting dust in a drawer.. I hate when that happens, it’s such a waste..
It’s so hard to find a good eyeliner, isn’t it? They’re either sheer, hard, or smudge… These days I usually purchase UD 24/7 pencils set. They’re the best eyeliners I’ve tried and great value for money if you get them in a set.
Nope! I always do my research before purchasing products.
Janessa, that’s great:) I usually do some research too but sometimes I come across a product that seems to work for everyone else but not me. I’m glad that hasn’t happened to you yet.
Nope! I’ve bought products that I ended up almost never using, but I didn’t buy them with that intention, they just happen to really suck lol. I definitely don’t want to spend money on something just to look at it, so if I pay, I plan to use it!

Makeup Morsels, I agree with you. I wouldn’t like paying for something and not planning to use it. Of course it’s sadly normal that some products will disappoint us and will never be used again.. I hate it when that happens..
i think i have! one of them is brow cake in wax. i just have no idea how to use it.
xin´s last [type] ..What would you put in your beauty box?
Xin, I’m not sure how to use that one either lol. I hope you didn’t spend too much money for it.
a resounding yes from me!!! those limited edition items just suckered me into buying it and i never have the heart to use them up

Plue, those are really hard to resist, aren’t they? They’re so pretty you can’t help buying them even if you know you won’t have the heart to use them..
No, I wouldn’t do that – I guess I’ve taken risks occasionally, but I’ve always truly believed that I’d use something that I’ve bought.
Viv, that’s good. No point in buying something you know in advance you won’t use, right?
Yes, I am a sucker for pretty or interesting items that look nice on my battle station. The one that comes to mind is the detailed phallic lipstick in an unflattering shade I purchased not long ago. It’s right next to my tweezers and makes me giggle in the morning.

Rebecca, lol. Some items would just look so good on our vanity table that we can’t help buying them, can we?
