What is the WORST beauty related product you ever used?

I thought this would be a nice change of topic. For me is that Signature A 2 in 1 shampoo HSN sells that smells like lemon meringue. It had the consistency of liquid soap and turned my hair into straw.

Wen. It made my hair stringy and greasy looking. When I came to the boards for help, I was treated like I was an idiot not to LOVE the stuff!

Laura Geller's Spackle. I felt like I was rubbing petroleum all over my face. I threw it away.

Why is it, when I have a 50/50 guess at something, I'm always 100% wrong?

same here! I thought Wen was fabulous until I actually saw what it did to my hair....a limp, greasy mess. On these boards I was told I didn't use enough or used too much, didn't rinse correctly, etc. Ridiculous.

PTR facial pads turned my skin bright red and burned it so badly I had to go see a derm; it took a week before my skin calmed down; don't know what was in it but never again!

I have yet to find a clarifier that works. I won't buy them. I'll use a nice scrub once a week.

JM matchmaker foundation, the powder foundation didn't work for me either.

Me too. It must be a sin to not like it or have it not work for someone.

I agree..too many to list but the first one that came to mind was Purity Made Simple. It dried out my skin terribly.

Remember line filler product on QVC -- did absolutely nothing and got returned.
